lucky, have organized means for the substi-
tuition of white for negro laborers, and the for

"A step in advance for the extension Of the
sphere OF female labor has been made in Lon
don. A fortnight ago, the Court Of Assistants
of the Apothecaries' Company decided that
women should not be excluded from their ex-
aminations in arts; and it is probable that this
important concession will be followed by ad-
mitting them unreservedly to the medical ex-
aminations.
Among the memorials presented in the

by the English invasion, and the barbarian
King Theodore, by having seized English mis-
sionaries as captives, may probably thereby
bring civilization to this African country.
The Cincinnati Democracy are moving Wig
orously to secure the holding in that city Of
the National Democratic Convention. Cleve-
land and Louisville are also making efforts
to the same end, while st. Louis offers stacks
Of money as bid for the convention. The
Democracy Of Indianapolis, however, are quiet
" moving in favor Of their own city. New
England and the Middle States 7ill press the
claims Of New York city.
"A new plough Of novel construction has
just been invented by mechanic in San Fran
cisco. This plough is an adaptation Of the
screw propeller to the process Of turning up
the earth. Instead Of share, six iron blades
are set in frame and geared together after
the fashion Of q marine screw, and the motion
OF the machine is also similar. The blades
dip into the ground as they revolve, and not
only turn snd pulverize the earth, but also
serve to aid in propelling the machine. This
plough can be driven either by steam or horse
power, and will trench strip from six to eight
feet wide. The working model of this machine
has been found to perform quite well.
The efforts to secure emigrants from
Europe for Southern settlement are pretty
general Several Of the Southern railroad and
steamship lines, in order to facilitate emigra-
tion, have made arrangements to issue regu-
lar emigrants' ticket from New York to all
points in the South. A special agent is to be
stationed at Castle Garden, New York, to ac-
cost emigrants on their arrival there from
Europe, and prevail upon them to proceed
South Immediately. The railroads are, Of
course, interested in securing these passen-
gers, but the States, Maryland included, must
take steps beyond the Atlantic, at the starting
point OF the emigrant, to fix his destination
within their borders, if they would certainly
secure due share Of population from abroad.
In the case er par!e McArdls, the Su-
preme Court of the United States overruled the
motion to dismiss the appeal for want Of juris-
diction. The Chief Justice, in the delivery of
the opinion, held that, under the act Of Febru-
ary g. 1867, an appeal lies from the judgment of
a Circuit Court in an original case Of habeas
corpus to the Supreme Court of the United
States. Upon the other points made in the
argument, that McArdle was in military custo-
dy, charged with military offence, and that
jurisdiction conferred by the act OF February
5th, 1867, being additional, therefore the Cir
cult Court Of Mississippi had no jurisdiction Of
McArdle under the act, the court expressed no
opinion, but held that these were questions go
ing to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court, which
would come up on their merits on final hear
ing and argument, on the first Monday in
March next.
