Sour AT DIsooUSr-One Hundred Gallons
I7tro1cn Array Thursday one hundred gallons
of the cool and refreshing soup, upon which our
nations wards live and grow fat, were thrown
away by the managers of the bureau. The strange
fact that soup goes begging is mystery to some
people, but NOT to US. The negroes who came
from Curl's Neck, and elsewhere along the James
river. from Chesterfield and Darbytown. brought
neither soup nor rations with them when they
came TO register last week. Soup was hence q
natural substitute for the fare OF the Mason
Dory,' and the bureau terrapin stews, gumbo,
ocbIe, etc.. almost made them swallow their
tongues. The consequence was that the nations
guests compelled the burean to increase theif sup
ply. But 10. the wards who stopped plowing to
come here to register when they had no right to
do so, lett for their country homes and the soup
engineer forgot TO diminish bis ingredients by one
mule. which in ISIS belonged to . Council Cham

one hundred gallons Of chocolate colored truck
thrown away. Why NOT bottle it and send il to
them in their country homes, where they have not

Judge Blacks Position In Ccnneetioa with
the Presidens-The Island OF Alta vela.

The well.informed Washington correspondent
OF the Baltimore Gazette, writing on the oath,
says:
Judge Black Is the counsel forthe owners of the
island OF Alta Veia. who were dispossessed Of
their property by the Dominican government BY
force of arms. The rich deposits of gusno on the
island were placed by st. Domingo in the keeping
Is prominent member. The act of Congress I'm
der which the legal owners took possession
guarantees them the protection of the govern
ment, and this protection they have been seeking
some years, through JcdgelBlack as their counsel.
Mr.. Seward determined to protect his friend Weed.
aud Judge Black made the direct issue with the
president, addressing him letter on Thursday
last, in which he announced that If Seward was to
be allowed TO protect his thieving friends ct the
expense Of his (Black's) clients, then he should
tercourse with the president or his administration,
and should appeal to Congress-. The president
ii is understood, promised 10 make the necessary
order on Friday last, but failed, and hence Judge
Black withdrew from any and all connection with
the impeachment trial. 1t is rumored that Mr..
johnson has sent for him several times since, but
the judge has stndiously avoided going
near him. Such are the reasons why Judge
Black did not appear as one Of the presi-
dents counsel yesterday and to-day.
The American owners OF Alta Vela were long
In peaceable possession under the guano act Of
1856. The island was by law declared an ap-
pendsge Of the United States. We nov hold
fifty eight guano islands BY the same tenure. The
policy of the law is to encourage tie discovery
Of gusno, and to foster and protect the trade.
These parties were evcted. plundered and i'm
prisoned by ST. Domingo. Tne American flag
was insulted and torn down. and the island seized
by an armed force. st. Domingo has never
pretended to have any claim. but some
of Mr.. Stewards friends arranged to steal
the guano and pay royalty to the Dominican
authorities. Judge Black, therefore. charges
that Seward has prosecuted false and fraudulent
claim ID the name OF St. Domingo against his own
country and countrymen, which claim Is to be
made the subject of a congressional investiga.
ZION. He also charges that Mr.. Seward has pro.
mulgated official falsehoods, suppressed impor-
fant documents and misrepresented facts to pre-
vent the honor OF his country from being vindica-
ted and the wrongs of our citizens redressed. The
president is reported as convinced of the justice
of this case, but is overawed by Seward aud the
claimant charges Seward with mafeassnce in
Office, and the charge will be laid before the
House Of House of Representatives.

ARTKMUs WARD's VALET.-It will be remem-
bered, says the Toronto Telegraph, that some
years ago, when Mr.. Chss. Browne, better known
as Artemus Ward, visited Toronto, he took
fancy to young lad named George Stephenson.
bell boy at the Queens Hotel, and SO strong
liking did be take to the youth that he offered to
make him his valet to accompany him on his lee.
taring tours throughout the United States and
Great Britain. Stephenson acceded to his re-
quest, and set of with Artemus to Erie, Pennsyl-
vanis, and from thence to New York. Boston, etc.,
and finally to Europe. He remained with Mr..
Browne till the day Of his death, and ACCOMPANIED
tue Iemains back to America, after which the
youth returned to his mother, who lives in Uni
versity street, in this city. BY the will Of Mr..
Browne. Stephenson was left $1,000, to be paid
him when he arrived at the age of twenty-one,
provision also being made for three years educa-
ton at Harvard College, and slso q couple of
years in printing office. in which latter place he
was {" 10 learn how little he really did know"
When Stephenson returned to this city, he did not
seem to care for carrying out the benevolent in
ienlions Of the good hearted Artemus, but hired
himself again as bell boy in the Queens Hotel
which place he occupies 1T the present time.
