Mr.. Seward has made his expected speech
at Auburn and very characteristic one it is,
He is Seward man, emphatically is the
prominent point Next, he approves of Mr..
johnson, and OF Mr.. johnson administration,
and especially OF Mr.. johnson Reconstruction
policy Next, he has nothing to say against
the patriotism or even the principles, of the
Democratic party. Next, he thinks that the
Republican or Radical party, have done some
very wrong things And finally, he thinks Gen.
Grant ought to be elected, and the Radical
party ought to triumph! He thus worms in
and worms out, runs on the spring board,
throws two or three Summersaults, and lights
on his feet in the middle OF the Radical party /!
Chief Justice Cartier, of the District of Col
umbia Court, in confirming the decree of con-
demnation, last week, against tweuty five bar
rels of spirits, remarked "that the spirit of the
statute was to consider spirits public enemy,
which was Sin rebellion" against the Govern
ment, corrupted the people. and sought to
seize the Government by seiziog It's revenues.
These twenty five barrels came into Court
bound to prove their innocence of being con-
neced with an attempt to defraud the revenue
He moved the decree OF condemnation upon
them, and wished that all the whiskey in the
world was in these barrels he would make an
auto dG te of them.

mons, issued out of the Baltimore Superior
Court against him. quashed, on the ground that,
as member of Congress, he is privileged
from the service of writs in civil suits, has

them of such process, the disregard of which
would expose them to an attachment for con-

MEMPHIS, NORFOLK AND LIVERPOOL
The following, which we clip from the
Morristown Gazette, will be read with
unusual interest in this city;
In accordance with a call previously
made, number of citizens OF Morris
town, Tennessee, met at the Female
Academy, on Saturday evening, to dis
cuss the propriety and feasibility OF
calling a general meeting of the citizens
along the line of the railroad between
Memphis, Tennessee, and Norfolk, Vir-
GINA, to be held in Bristol, Tennessee,
on the 18th day Of July next, to or
game Tennessee and Virginia Steam
ship Transportation Company, to es-
tablish line of steamships between Nor
folk, Virginia, and Liverpool, England.
On motion, c. t. Carriger, Esq, was
called to the Chair, and l.. p. Speck APP
pointed Secretary.
After the object Of the meeting was ex-
planned by Messrs. Carriger and Morris,
and the views and opinions of other gen.
tlemen we're given, the following resolu'
tons were introduced and adopted;
WHEREAS, A ready market, with In
creased facilities for reaching the same,
com mands at all times the highest price
| for the produce of country, brings q
greater return to the producer, and en- :
| hances the value OF its lands; and,
whereas, the commercial interests oil
Tennessee, Virginia and other Southern
States would be largely benefited by the
establishment of line of steamships be-
tween Norfolk, Virginia, and Liverpool
| therefore,
Resolred, That we, the citizens OF
Morristown and vicinity, will use our
best efforts to secure the organization Of
a company to be known as the Tennessee
and Virginia Transportation Company,
| which shall have for its object the estab-
lishment of line of steamships to run
between Norfolk, Virginia, and Liver
pool.
Resolred, That the citizens along the
line of railroad between Memphis aad
| Norfolk are cordially invited to CO.
operate with us by sending delegates to
a general meeting, to be held at Bristol,
Tennessee, on the 18th day OF July next.
On motion, the committee was re-
| quested TO appoint com mlttee vi tht1o
to correspond and confer with the people
along the line of road between Memphis
and Norfolk upon this subject; where
upon Messrs. Drury Morris, A. W. Will
son and L. P. Speck were appointed said
committee.
On motion, the Chairman was added 70
the committee.
The Gazette urges upon the people OF
every town and city along the line of the
road, from Memphis to Norfolk, to CO.
operate with the citizens of Morristown
in the enterprise. The following appeal
by the Gazette we heartily second:
Hold meetings at once, discuss the
matter among yourselves, and appoint
your best men as delegates to a general
meeting, to be held at Bristol, Tenn, on
the 10Th day of July next, and let us
all together put our shoulders to the wheel
and push the good work through to a
speedy completion.

ARTIFICIAL ICE - An artificial ice
mandatory at New Orleans is turning
out forty-two tons Of pure ice each day,
and the article. is fully equal TO the best
Northern importation. 1t is supplied to
customers at seventy cents per hundred
pounds-a considerable reduction from
prices paid in former years. Crowds Of
visitors daily visit the establishment TO
witness the process Of converting the
muddy river water into transparent
ice blocks. The art Of making ariiscial
ice was first attempted in this country
during the war, at Augusta, Ga, by c.
e. Girardey. Considerable quantities
we're manufactured aud supplied to the
soldier hospitals. 4 similar enterprise
might be made profitable in Memphis,
and its introduction woald certainly
create a decline in The price Of the con

REMOVAL OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST
S. s. BOARD TO THIS CITY.-The follow
ing religious intelligence from the
Biblical Recorder, published at Raleigh,
North Carolina, will be read with inte-
rest by large class Of our readers:
1.-THE SoutherR Baptist Convention has
ordered the removal Of the Sunday
School Board to Memphis, with the un-
Outstanding that it be consolidated with
the Sunday School Union. 1t is cur
rently reported that the Secretaryship of
this Board has been offered to Rev. T..
B. Kingsbury, Of Warrenton, N. G. We
hope the report is true, and that this ac-
complished writer, judicious critic, and
able and faithful minister, may here find
a sphere commensurate with his dis
tinguished gifts and requirements.
His removal would be serious loss
to our State, but we have few men who
would carry with them so much conf
dence, SO much efficiency, and so much
hope for future usefulness. We are
pleased to state that Mr.. X. has accepted
the appointment above referred to, and
is in the city, entering upon the discharge
of his duties. The Raleigh Sentinel,
published at his former home, pays Mr..
K. the following parting compliment:
:" Mr.. Kingsbury is q finished scholar and
gentleman, and we part with him with
regret Happiness attend him and his
family in their new home"

YESTERDAYS TRAGEDY.-Between two
and three clock yesterday afternoon, a
negro boy, known as Gilbert Fenner,
shot and instantly killed Lloyd Brown,
his brother in law. The scene of the
tragedy was a shsnty on the alley be-
tween Third and Fourth, and south of
Adams streets, Brown had threatened
to whip the boy with cowhide, when
the latter picked up shotgun and dis
charged one barrel of it into his person.
The ball from the gun entered
Browns left shoulder, severing on
artery, and causing death instantly, as
above stated. Fenner, upon discovering
what he had done, fled from the shanty
and took out of town. On learning of
The affair the police gave chase, but were
unable to overtake the fugitive, who has
not since been seen or heard Of Sol.
Fenner, who is supposed to have been
present at the time of the shooting, and
possibly accessory to it, was arrested this
morning and committed at the Adams
street station TO await an examination.
