"The Accident of Birth.o

No WONDER that John Quincy Adams, Jr.,
regrets that the accident of birth" gave him
the name he bears. With an ingratitude Ger
tainly singular, he repines that he bears that
name, yet to it he owes the feeble sort of noto-
riety which he possesses. To it, and it alone, he
is indebted for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts,. To render his in
suit to family history the more apparent, and
to set hey ond all doubt his degeneracy from
the lessons of his ancestors, he inserts in his
letter of acceptance the following paragraph
1.-THE Democratic party appeared TO commit
themselves TO the Indefinite extension OF the
intolerablen uisance of irredeemabe paper cur
reEcy. ! am too much OF q Democrat to regard
any such prospect with patience. L believe In
hard money, and therein hold myself to be a
true Jacksonian Democrat"
This from one who bears the name of John
Quincy Adams This man glories in the name
of a Jackson Democrat Looking back for
forty years, what difference do we see !
Then the name was found among the roll of
American statesmen, and for one who bears it
to call himself Jackson Democrat" would
be political paradox too rich to be thought
of. Certainly time changes all things, and no
change could be greater than for the grandson
of the late President to make suoh an avowal
as he has. No wonder, with such sentiments,
that he regrets the "accident OF his birth"

VICTORIOUS GENERALS who win their laurels
in noble cause possess an irresistible claim
to the gratitude of the nations they rescue.
All countries have been prompt to recognize,
some form, this sacred obligation. The
loyal people of the United States are now
testifying their devotion to General Grant, for
his inestimable services, in a manner that
reflects the highest degree of credit upon all
concerned. While the sympathizers with the
Rebellion seek to reward him for his unparal-
leled achievements by dsgraceful abuse and
vituperation, millions of true lovers of the
nation he served are preparing to return to
him victories in the field of political strife
for his resplendent victories OF war.
For his triumph at Belmont, Vermont

Fort Donelson Maine rolls up $4,000 The
next two or three Republican State triumphs
will be get aside as an appropriate return fol

will be rewarded by an utter rout Of the

for his final master stroke against the

clean sweep of every Northern State in the

ARBITRARY AUTHORITY OF
STE AAHOAT OFFICERS Re
BUKED AND PUNIsHED


United States DIAtrIct Court-Before
Hon e. H. DureII, District Judge
Lewis a. Martin, DR., LIbelant, VS.. G.
Press Work, Respondent,
This was suit in admiralty in per8onans
brought by Martin, free colored man, to
recover damages from the respondent Work
for putting Martin ashore from the steam
boat yicksburg while on her way down to
New Orleans from Monroe.
The libelant Martin is and was a barber
on board of the steamboat Vicksburg, and
the respondent Work was and is the clerk
and owner of said steamboat. The facts
were that Martin was engaged on said steam
boat as barber in the early part of Feb.
ruary last without any wages, his compen-
saton being the use of the barbers shop
on said steamboat without charge, he
having the privilege of making all he could
from the passengers at his trade or
occupations; Martin also agreeing to
play music for the passengers as
often as he was solicited so to do;
that on the evening of the 10Th of February
last, while the said steamboat was on her
return trip from Monroe to New Orleans,
Martin had been playing music for the en-.
tertainment Of the passengers, and had re-
turned to his shop, when during his absence
one of the hall tenders endeayored to OBJ,
tain contribution from some of the passen-
gers as compensation for said entertain
ment; complaint was made to the captain
of said boat, F. A. Blanc, and to the re.
speudent, Work, of the alleged contribu-
tii5H; upon hearing c. which thc r2spcad
ent, Work, Immediately sent a notice or
order to Martin that he must 90 ashore at
the next landing, which was place two
miles above Trinity, on the bank of the
Ouachita riJer:
Ia obedience TO this order the boat was
stopped, and Martin was put ashore about
ten O'Clock at night at an out of the way
place. Martin remained at or near this
place until about four O'Clock the next
morning, when he took the steamboat John
B. Dance and reached New Orleans about
the 2lst of February, or rtwO days afterward.
The respondent, Work, alleged in his de.
fense that Martin had violated the police
regulations of the boat in making the al
legged collection, and that he did not give
the order for Martin TO be put ashore.
Judge Durell, after hearing the testimony
in the case, ordered decree to be entered
in favor of the libelant, Martin, against the
respondent, Work, for the sum of $3.50
damages with costs Of suit.

Orders for she Sale OF Real Estate Of
Rankrupts.

The decision Of Judge Durell, authorizing
the sale of real estate surrendered by bank.
rupts under certain circumstances, is of
such Importance that we give it at length:
DssTRIcr COURT or THE UNIrrD sTATRs,
FOR ths District of Louisiana. !
In the matter OF 3. H. Barrow, bank
rupt-NO. 81.
In the matter of Loeb, Simon & Co., bank.
rupts-No. Sc.
In the matter of w. D. Winter, bank,
rupt-No. SS. ..s -
The assignees of the bankrupts have, in
the above entitled cases, filed petitions
praying for orders autherizing the sale of
real estate surrendered by the bankrupts
free and discharged of all debts secured by
mortgage thereon, thus transferring the
security of the mortgage creditor, and his
right to priority of payment, from the land
to the proceeds Of It's sale. The judicial
power of the court to issue orders in con.
iormaRee with the prayers Of the petitioners
is called in question.
The jurisdiction Of district court of the
United States, sitting as a court of bank.
ruptoy, is superior and conclusive in all
matters arising under the statute. The
estate surrendered is placed in custody Of
officer appointed % manage it is account
able to the court appointing him, and to
that court alone. No court of an inde-
pendent state jurisdiction can withdraw the
property snrrendered, nor determine, in
any degree, the manner Of its disposition.
These principles have been settled in cases
which have declared the relations existing
between federal aud state Jurisdiction.

Jerusalem is, perhaps, unlike any 9TH
er city in the world. The midnight
slumber is undisturbed by theshrill voice
of the iron horse, as he thunders along,
proclaiming the march of science, and
bearing with speed swifter than eagles
wings, the products of civilization and
the labor of genius. The weary sufferer,
tossing through the long watches Of the
night, is undisturbed by the roll CT
wheels. The devotee of fashion, the
midnight reveler-one who has tarri,d
long at the games, and quaffsd that cup
which at last biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder-has no cause to
curse the freman's trumpet. which has
startled him from his drunken slumher.
The man Of literature who has labored
long and sadly until the night had far
waned, to bring from his brain the crea-
tions of his fancy, that his loved ones
may be saved from starvation, will rot
have consciousness aroused and his weary
mind called back from the holy land Of
dreams by the roll Of the market cart,
bringing to his memory that Aurora has
already harnessed her horses, and again
the burdensome cares Of the day must
force him to arise.
No fire bell tells him in which ward Of
the city the power of destruction Is vast
ing, with more than lightning speed, and
implores the strong arm and stentorian
voice of the noble fireman to rescue some
helpless infant or trembling maiden from
the sufocating flames. Theweary moth
er, bending over the cradle of the sick
child, is not panied by the hilarity Of the
theater going crowd. There are no bril-
liantly illuminated streets-no light to
be seen without, save the ftful glimmer
Of a paper lantern carried by the hand
of a solitary night walker. No police
man stands sentinel. The soft light of
the moon cannot penetrate those narrow,
dark alleys. The daughters of music
have been brought low. There is quiet
pervading these streets, in which the
wind even seems faint, and nothing finds
utterance save the bark of dog, the
matin bell and the Moslem's cry, dcling
out his lugubrious summons for the faith
full Mahommedan to arise and come to
prayers.
| /, And this is Jerusalem, once the JOY OF
| the whole earth. And this the spot
spread out by Jehovah for the eternal
dwelling place Of the chosen. And these
miserable, filthy, poyerty-stricken and
depressed people are descendants of the
friend of God the children of Abra-
ham. Behold the literal ful6llment Of
the prophecy! See them "melted out,
peeled and. uodden down by the worst q
heathens; their houses possessed, the
pomp of the strong has ceased, and theil
holy places are deiled." Where now i
