MEssRs EDIToRs: One would suppose

constantly committing some lneinous
effense against the peace aud dig gnity of
the State of which they are cit izens, or
committing murder, or some OF her out

From the Nashville Banner, June ISL
Another amusing scene occurred in
Esquire Thurneck's Office, on Deaderick
street, Tuesday, which attracted large
crowd of spectators. Richard Frazier, a
timorous looking sort of darky, was
arraigned upon the charge of bastsrdy,
preferred by negro girl, Matilda Har-
ding, whose dirty apparel, coarse physi-
ognomy, and strociously ugly little pick
aninny, were not altogether in keeping
with the refined taste eff the darky Lo-
thario. Having pleaded guilty, Richard
was informed that he would either have
to give bail for his appearance before the
Board of County Commissioners or go to
Jail Hereplied that " he didn't like to
do dat" and was then told that he might
compromise the matter by marriage.
This alternative he heard with the most
intense disgust, but after musing
for some time upon the prospect
of gloomy walls, in which, as he
expressed it, he might have to
linger a'straodnery long time" he re-
marked that he would take de gal.
He accordingly borrowed money from
his friends, procured license and
returned to Esquire Thurneck's office,
where the twain we're made one flesh.
To the great merriment of the crowd,
no sooner had the magistrate pronounced
the solemn words, what God has put
together let no man put asunder; pro-
nounce you man and wife" than both
bride and bridegroom hastily separated.
Richard broke for the door, and, without
stopping to look behind, made his way rap
idly to Cedar street, where he was lost
to view by plunging into some back
kitchen. Matilda on reaching the door
glanced around to see whether her lord
and master was following, but expressed
no surprise at his disappearance, and
slowly weuded her way to the public
souare

censure any commander of any depart
ment Of the army for justly Furnishing
those who had been violaters of the law in
his department and | trust that 1t shall
be the last to paliate or excuse any COM
mander, however meritorious his con-
duct in other matters may have been,
who thus strikes cruelty and inhumanely
at class of people, driving them from
their homes, men, women and children,
upon the shortest notice; their houses
are closed up, and many Of their stores,
they inform me, are left without an oc-
cupant, containing thousands of dollars
worth of goods.
The Senate, in my judgment, owes it
to itself to vindicste the laws and the
rights of these prosecuted Hebrews. !
do for them what would do for any other
citizens of this nation, or for any other
constituents that have. Ihope that the
amendment / propose may be adopted,
and that part of the resolution asking the
President to countermand the order (for
the Commander.inC Chief, 10 his his honor
be it spoken, has most promptly revoked
it) be stricken out, and let the preamble
and resolution, censuring this order and
denouncing it as illegal, cruel, and inhu-
man, be passed by the Senate.
