1N-The St. Louis Times of the 20 ut. says: The celebrated Havana Lottery has been noted for it's fairness in all details, and no one has yet attacked il for swindling propensities in any rcs- pect. In Havana, Cuba, aud other portions of the Spanish domin;cns nearly every person of means invests in lotteries, and not few of the veal. thiest planters have laid the foundation of stupendous fortunes by lucky hits in the great Havana or Madrid combi. nation drawings.
 A few week ago Wm. C. Glasgow, oi the firm of Glasgow X Bros, on Second corner of Locust streets, went to Havana on business and purchased q whole ticket tor Mr. Clark, and s hali ticket for himsclfin the Havana Iotte- ry. In this enterprise nothing was drawn, and, a couple of days before his departure from Havana for New Orleans, he purchased a half-ticket in the Madrid Lottery for $20 in gold The capital prize in this schems wal Sl5O,0O0, and Mir. Glasgow, the next day, had the good luck to hit the capi- tai prize--but, holding only half. ticket, he obtained but one-half the full sum, which was paid to him in gold Mir. Glasgow was expected in the city last evening, and his singular good luck is the theme of general conversation in business circles.

not necessary in proceedings against any class of persons, except judicial of- ficers. With regard to the defense that the President suspended Mr. stanton under the Constitution, and to supply the vacancy under the law of lI9o, he claimed that the President's answer showed violation of the law, for that limited the tenure ofsuch appointments to six months, and the President ap- pointed Cen. Thomas for an indefinite period. He then spoke of the argument that the President is bound to inter- venc to protect the people fromemcon- stitutional laws, and said it was a fal- lacious position, as the peopel are the guardians of their own honor, and Con- gress is responsible only to them.
 At this point Mir. Bingham yielded to a motion to adjourn, and the Court and Senate adjourned accordingly at 3 :50.

Ernigrntfon to Africa.

The ship Golconda sailed yesterday from Baltimore with cargo for Liberia. After leaving this port she will call at Savannah, Ga., where she will receive four or five hundred eolored passen- gers for Liberia. The colonization agents says he could send vessel load every month, such is the desire among the colored people of the South to go to Liberia. We are informed that among the emigrants arc men of intel ligence and enterprise, who will be a valuable accession to the Liberian Re- public. We noticed some time ago the petition of large number of colored men in Mississippi to Congress to aid them in emigrating to Liberia, and we the same object has been presented to the Senate from several thousand col ored men in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. They represent that they are destitute, without employ ment, and cannot hope to overcome the disadvantages of their position in the South. Perhaps the vast sums which the Government appropriates for freed mems bureaus might be appropriated more advantageously in aiding the em- lRrALlOu OI tnOsc WIO utslTc to SO to Liberia. The New York Times, spec ulating upon the causes of this desire for emigration among the colored peo- pie of the South, well says:
 1t cannot be because Congress has not legislated enough for them it has done little else but legislate for them for years past. It cannot be because the Government and the people of the North have not helped them, and en- couraged them and instructed them. We have sustained the Freedmen's Bu- reau for their benefit, and have sent numberless political and educational missionaries among them. May the terrible state of things not be owing to the fact that our legislation has not been of the wisest kind, and that we have looked rather to giving them po- litical advantages, instead of enconrag- ing the great productive industries upon which blacks as we'll as whites must depend for their existence2 If we would keep the Southern blacks out of their crushing miseries. we must adopt such means as will secure social order, material prosperity and good feeling in the South. Without this, things will go on from bad to worse, till decay and ruin become permanent under the sway of military dictators. s.' Louisville Courier.

h0-A a dance near Independence Mo-, on the l7th inst, James Raney got into quarrel with another man as to which had the right to occupy a certain place on the floor. John Bow lin, the husband of Raney's partner in the dance, told the parties if they did not quit quarreling he would take his wife and go home. Raney told Mrs E. to come on, and when Bowlin turned to his wife and told her to get her bon. net, Raney shot and killed him instan' tly. Raney and Bowlin had been friends for many years.

Other suits, similar as to title, involv- ing four times the amount of property, and in which his interest is the same, follow this, and will undoubtedly be decided in then same way.
