WASHINGTON, March 30.-In tho
House, the New Jersey resolutions,
withdrawing assent to the fourteenth
article, were presented. Boutwell, OBJ

respectful, in charging the House
with usurpation. The House then
went to the impeachment trial and
after their return, on motion, the
New Jersey resolutions were returned
to the person who presented them,
rs disrespectful and scandalous.

ABDUCTION OF FREEDMEN.-Abou
twenty freedmen, who engaged Mt
Key West to go down the Florida
coast to cut timber there, sailed last
week on the brig Pat Cleburne and
the small schooner Lost Cause, but
their pretended employers, instead
of proceeding to the Florida coast,
run the vessels into Matanzas, where
it is presumed the intention of the
kidnappcrs was to sell them into
slavery.
The names of the parties engaged
in the nefarious transaction are B.
Preston, Of South Carolina. G. Ellet,
of Charleston, South Carolina, j. a.
or j. III. Smith, of Natchez, OF Vicks-
burg, Mississippi, John Colman, of
Mississippi, and VIM. Allen, Rich
mond, Virginia.
After the arrival of the vessels at
Matanzas, tho United States Consul
directed his efforts to capture the
kidnappers and protect their victims.
Smith and Colman escaped. Pres
ton, Ellet and Allen, were captured
and sent to Key West in irons. 1t
was expected that Smith and Colman
would also be captured, as it would
be almost impossible for them to get
off from the island. The freedmen
were sent back to Key West. We
learn these particulars from Mr.. j. G.
Wilcox, who has just arrived fron,
key West.
There have been strong suspicious
for long time that parties were en-
gagged in kidnapping freedmen on
the Florida coast and running them
over to Cuba. It is hoped that the
captured persons will be punished to
the fullest extent of the law.

THE BEST JOKE OF THE SEASON.
BY reference to the Mayors Court
proceedings of yesterday, it will be
seen that Immediately after the open
ing of the court, the exit from the
guard house was closed and the
motley crowd of idle spectators, after
enjoying the proceedings, were called
upon for an explanation of their
presence; some were there on bust
ness, some for mere.transient curiosi-
ty, but the habitual loafers or va
grants, were fined two or three dol
lars, or as many days confinement.

his family discovered his lifeless
body suspended on tree few yards
from the house.

DEMAND FOR CHILDREN The Ne

DEMAND FOR CHILDREN. Tho New
York papers say it is curious fact
that, in that city, the demand for
children for adoption is in advance
of the supply. The number of found
lings received by the police was 176
in 1867, and this is an increase on
the previous year; yet the authorities
of various New York benevolent asso.
Citations assert they are unable to
meet the demand for healthy infants
for adoption. The number of per-
sons in New York without children
of their own, who wish to have q
child to bring up, is large and in
creasing.
