Great Exs.tsmsn. in WI mlngson.

A hearing was had before Alderman
Vincent, on Friday morning last in a case
which excites considerable interest. The
suit was instituted by a your q man named
John Morgan, to recover the custody of
his half-sister, Mary Anna Riggs, whom
he alleges has been seduced from her home
under the pretence that she is married to
a barber, named VIM. Valentine, who, it
is also alleged, is mulatto. 1t appears
that one day last week, Valentine by pre-
vius arrangement with Miss Riggs, met
her in Philadelphia, and that they were
married by Rev. Mr.. Cooke The bro
ther learning these facts repaired to that ci-
ty and brought her home, The next day
Valentine demanded possession of the
young woman as his wife Morgan de-
nies the legality of the marriage contract,
on the ground that his sister is but Is
years old and that Valentins has negro
blood in his veins. The young woman
acknowledges Valentine to be her hus-
band, exhibits her marriage certificate and
expresses a determination to share his for
tunes. Valentine denies that he is ne
gro, and asserts that his mother is white
and his father ot mixed Indian and Irish
origin. Chas. G. nnmford, Deputy At
torney General appeared for the State;
Thomas F. Bayard for Morgan, and An
thony Higgins for Valentine. After hear
ing some of the evidence, tho Alderman
postponed the case until tomorrow, in Or
der to allow the parties to addpce addition
al evidence in support of their allegations.
The case excites much interest, and a
large number were in attendan nee at the
Alderman's office during the trial When
the young woman left the Office to return
home, she was followed by the crowd, who
exhibited their disapprobation by derisive
laughter and jeers, as she passed to the
carriage in waiting for her at the door,

The HoT WEATHRR. For NOR e than
two weeks this intensely hot weather has
continued, the thermometer standinr . above
9Oo in the shade, each day. 1t IS very
rarely ythat we have had, in other seasons,
more than three or four days Of extremely
hot weather in succession. But the pres
ent season is an exception.
The highest degree of heat registered
here, in the shade, was 1899 on Tuesday
last. On the same day the thermometer
was taken up on the roof of Lippincott's s
Hotel, where some painters were at work,
when it rose to 148o On Tuesday and
Wednesday, some carpenters at work on a
building in this town, suspended labor at
noon, the heat being too great for their
endurance. The farmers have ever rywhere
had to suspend labor in the fields, in the
middle of the day. In nearly all the cities
there are accounts of numerous cases OF
sun-stroke, many of which have proved
fatal.

Electoral College BIZ.


This bill, defining the conditions on
which the votes of the Southern States
shall be received in the Electoral College.
provides that the States lately in rebellion
shall not be recognized in the Presidential
election unless they shall have, since the
4th of March, 1867, adopted State Con-
stitution and been admitted to representa-
tion in Congress. According to its pro
visions the States of Louisiana, South Car
olina, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina
and Arkansas will be entitled to take pa
in the coming election, they either haviu g
been already admitted to representation Or
ratified the pending Constitutional Amend
ment. Georgia will probably be exelu-
ded, as the lower house of her Legislature
has Democratic majority, which may re-
ject the amendment. Mississippi, in de-
fsating the Constitution of the Reconstruc
tion Convention, lately held in that State.
has placed herself beyond the possibility
of participation in the political contest.
With regard to Texas and Virginia, If
even they should be carried by the Radt-
calls, there is no possible chance of their
being admitted to representation, as Con-
gress viii adjourn before they can ratify
their State Constitutions, and will scarcd-
ly meet again until after the conflict for
the Presidency shall have been decided.
Under these circumstances it may be safe
ly assumed that there will be but six OF
the States represented in the Electoral Col
lege, unless the dover house Of the Geor-
gia Legislature shall be purged' of I'D
Democratic majority, in which event there
will be seven, representing forty4seyen
votes

CAPE ISLAND WASHING AwIY.-From
1904 to 1880 the sea washed away the
shore of Cape Island, annually avera aging
thirteen feet, or three hundred and thirty
eight feet in that time. In one of those
years it washed away one hundred and
ten feet, but of course in some other years
the average was less. From 1880 to l843
the average was nine and a-half feet. The
means now taken to preserve the shore
front will probably prevent further loss to
the island for many years to come.-New-

Suffice it to say that the high character,
eminent ability, signal public services, un
blemished reputation, and undoubted pa
triotism Of Governor Seymour, with his
life long devotion to the great fundamental
principles of the Democratic faith, will
command the cofdence and attract to him
the cordial support of the Conservative
and patriotic among all classes of the peo-
pie.
The nomination of General Blair for the
Vice Presidency will be equally acceptable
to the country. His gallant services in
the war will commend him to the favor of
all patriotic soldiers, and his known ability
and earnest devotion to the great princi-
pies of the constitutional government will
ensure him the cordial support of the Con-
seryative masses.
