1t is said that the Suez canal will be com
pleted by October 1869. Another great IN
dertaking which, with the Pacific railroad
may be said to compose the two great
events upon which the attention of the
world is just now fxed-the new cable
between France and Amerca-seems also to
be progressing most favorably. Then, will fol-
low, in all probability, ship canal across the
Isthmus of Darien.

THE STAY LAw-FINALLY.- The Rich mond
State Journal says:-"We heretofore stated,
upon reliable authority, that the Stay Law
would not be extended, and we now repeat, for
the benefit of Hit may concern, that the law
will not be extended A general order suspend
ing sales of personal property till the lst Of
May next will soon be issued, but executions
may issue after January lst for all debts under
which liens may be acquired at once on per-
sonal property and sales made of it on and af
ter May lst, and real estate my be proceeded
against after January 1st, as If no Stay Law
had been passed. This is entirely reliable,
and we take occasion to say that the military
commander has made just and beneficial dis
elimination between real and personal proper
ty under the operation Of the law. The order
will probably contain special provision Tor
the protection of widows and orphans"

under the T. S. flag; but the Peruvian officers
have assumed command and hoisted the Peru.

police force of New Orleans for assistance. =
The police officials declined to interfere, on the
ground that they had no jurisdiction, and the
conflict between the officers and crews is pro-

ANOTHER FERSION.-Letters OF an unofficial
character, received by an off Ger of one of the
departments from Superintendent of Indian
Affairs, Murphy aud Wynkoop, give altogeth-
er different c0Ioring to the victory recently
achieved by Gen, Custer over Black Kettle and
his band. AS both these officers are OF the
Indian Bureau which is opposed to the coer-
Give policy of the War Department, their state
ment must }pe taken as the other side of the
story. MI Murphy says that Black Kettle
has always been firm friend to the Govern.
ment. and has interfered for the protection OF
whites even so far as to incur the deep dis
pleasure Of large portion of his band When
his village was attacked by Gen. Clusters COM
10 and his people were on their way to Fort
lAearny to obtain their annuities, and were
within fifty miles of the fort when the attack
occurred.
Mr.. Wynkoop has sent to the Commissioner
his resignation, and gives the following reasons
for so doing: He had ordered the Indians to
rendezvous at a certain point to receive their
annuity goods, when they were suddenly at
tackled by Col Chivington at Sand creek, and
mercilessly slaughtered. After that the In
dams lost all confidence in him, but he sue
ceeded in finding his way back TO their favor
Them while passing from the Northern hunt
ing grounds to their reservation, they were at
tackled by the troops under Gen. Hancock and
again outraged Again they suspected Col.
WyDkoop and refused to have any dealings
with him, but once more he contrived TO
regain their confidence Since the attack made
by Gen Custer the Indians have become Bit
tery incensed against the Superintendent and
as he dares not venture among them any more,
he feels it to be his duty to resign Wash. cor.

ANOTHER PRISONER DISCHARGED BY JUDGE
UNDERwooD.-In the U. S. Circuit Court, in
Richmond, on Saturday, Judge Underwood
presiding, the case of Sally Anderson, colored,
sentenced to death by the County Court for
arson, was brought up on writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that one OF the magis-
trateS composing the court " bich tried her had
held the office OF constable before the war, and
being thereby disqualified under the fourteenth
amendment the whole court was illegal and
its proceedings vitiated. Judge Underwood
sustained the prisoners plea, and discharged
her from custody.
In delivering his opini on he said if even the
clerk of the court was disqualified, it vitiated
the proceedings.
There are, it is said hundred and fitty-nine
convictS iu the State prison sentenced since the
adoption of the fourteenth amendment who
may now be rep .ased by habeas corpus and
turned loose UNI .er this decision.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.--The true figure as
to the national debt is not seen in the present
reported amount of it. It is increasing monthly,
because, now that the Radicals have succeeded
in the elections, there is no party need OF turn
ing the cold shoulder upon claims against the
Government. 1t will continue to increase largely
if all the legitimate demands upon the Unlteo
States Treasury are answered. CONSIDERED pros
pectively, the debt OF the General GOVernm ana
cannot be put at q dollar less than S6,O0o wv
600. AS things are, gold interest on that sum
will amount, 10 the sort OF money that the peo-
nile are now using, to something like S27O, 0O0,-
900. But State, city, county, and town deDt-
are in reality, for the most part, OF the DEBTS Ia
Cured on civil war account. These are not
less than $4,000, 100000. Thus the aggregate
of the debt caused by the civil war Is S2,OUO,-
100000. This was doubtless the sum which
Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens so often referred to as
the true national debt by reason OF the war.
States, cities, and towns could not have entered
upon any such usurious and unc0nscohable
contracts as to pay excessive interest IN gold.
Estimating the aggregate amount OF interest ID
greenbacks at $120, 900, 900 on the 81 OOO,O Oo,-
600 in State, city, town, and county obligations
on account Of the war; the total amount OF IN
terest to be paid by the people yearly IN green
backs will be nearly $400 900 900. Nat. mt
ATTEMPT TO PLUMBER AND MURDER. last
Monday morning just before daylight, says the
Petersburg Express, the store of Messrs
Moody & Nicholas, at San Marino, Dlnwld-
die county, was entered by four Or five blacks
and the principal portion Of the goods removed.
During the progress OF OPERATION Mr. a.
SIade, who was sleeping in an adjoining room
in company with Messrs. Moody 4 Nicholas,
discovered the thieves, gave the alarm and at
tempted to rush into the store, but found the
door locked and the key transferred to the
other side. The burglars, upon discovery,
| withdrew from the store and selected positions
az such convenient distance as to be able to
command the house. and commenced desul-
tory firing upon the whites as they issued forth.
Ali efforts to return the fire were futile, as the
| thieves had taken the prccaution to pour water
| in the guns before the party awoke. Three
| successive charges were made by the blacks 20
carry off the goods, but were repulsed by the
determination and courage Of the defend ANTS,
in the last of which, however, Mr.. Slade re
ceived painful flesh wound in the thigh from
pistol shot. So far no positive clue to the
perpetrators of this high-handed outrage has
been discovered, though a vigilant investlga-
ton is on foot

"LYNCH Law" In Saturdays Gazette,
under the Geographic head, it was briefly stated
that the Reno brothers and Charles Anderson,
charged with robbing the Adams Express
Company, and held for trial in the jail at New
Albany, Indiana, were hung on that day by a
vigilance committee, said to hail from Seymour,
Indiana. At o'clock in the morning they
proceeded to the Jail and demanded admission,
which was refused by the jaiIor He was, how
ever, soon overpowered and tied. The watch.
John, Frank and Simon Reno and Anderson,
who were Immediately seized upon and all four
hanged Frank Reno fought desperately for
his lite. Anderson and Frank Reno were sur
rendered by the Canadian authorities upon the
should have a fair trial, and if found innocent
be returned TO Canada. It is said that the
British Minister in Washington has promptly
taken the matter up, and seen the Secretary Of
Seate on the subject Immediate steps will be
taken by the latter in relation to this affair.
JAMES JETER PHILLIPS. We understand
that the counsel of James Jeter Phillips have
prepared an application, which they will sub
NIT to Judge Underwood for a writ of Habeas
Corpus. 1t takes the ground that Phillips was
entitled to an appeal to the Supreme Court of
Virginia. That Judges Moncure and Joynes
were disqualified under the 18th Amendment
and that as there was no legally constituted
Court of Appeals, the whole trial was nullity.
