THE YERGER CASE.

A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Gazette, speaking of the Yerger case,
says: "The lawyers on both sides are
mum. Those on the part of Yerger, land
they are of the heaviest metal in the Dis
trict, have doubtless conducted the case
with single eye to the interest Of their
client They can, at any moment, move
for the issue of the writ of h0bCuS corpus,
upon which it is not now doubted the
court would decide favOrably. Congress
could not, at this day, and under the
circumstances, prejudice the prisoner by
&C post facto legislation, and the under
standing, (whateVer its character,) was
acquiesced in by Judge Yerger, (the pris-
oner's brother who was present when it
was entered into. Upon the whole, ii is
evident that Mr. Yerger's head is safe up
on his shoulders, and his neck in no dan
gcr-lhanlls Git may be) to the malice of
his enemies From this statement it is
plain that the Supreme Court is not charge
able with the delay in the Yergcr case.

Preparatory Medication.

The human system, the most delicate and sensi-
tive of all created things should be duly prepared
to meet the shock occasioned by a sudden change
in the temperature of the air. Even the solid
metals contract and expand under cold and heat
so that if man were composed of iron, instead of
fral tissues aud fbres, circulating fluids and brit
tie osseous matter, his frame would not be proof
against the yicissitudes of climate As it is it be
hooves every one, especially the feeble, to forify
clemcncy Of tae present season. A wholesome,
rensh-supplying vegetable tonic and Alternative

AWashington special gives the publicthe
benefit of the information of approaching
nuptials between the hrother-in-law OF the
Portuguese Minister and one of the first
Young ladies, in colorcd circles, of the
city of Washington. The affair is thus
stated by the telcgraphist:
Mr.. Paul Geraud, the brothcr-in-law of
the Minister of Portugal to this govern
ment. writes to a friend in this city that
he will be here on Dee. ,, and that
he will be married on the following day to
Miss Mary Wormley, the handsome
daughter of n rich and popular colOred
caterer, long a resident in this city, and
still in business here Gcraud is a gentle
man of position and education, and IS
about % years OF age. He is possessed
of wealth, and has noted connections in
France, from whom he receives life an
nuity. Miss WOrmley is well educated,
and her manners are pleasing, and she is
described as very handsome. The event
promises to disturb social circles here for
some time.

Of the Cuban Junta, writes authoritatiycly:
81 notice IN this MORNINGS papersa Wash
ington telegram in which Gen. Thomas
Jordan is UNANIMOUSLY slandered. Instead
of evincing a desire to abandon the Cuban
cause, he has, on all occasions, displayed
great zeal and gaIlantry in action. The
change of duty from the command of the
Eastern Department 20 his present position
of Chief of Staff was promotion, and
accomplished in order that his great talent
for organizing could be awaited of at
headquarters. lie was Chief of Staff in
June last, and the SANDER was started last
month The people of the United States
may rest assured that the Cubans love, es-
teen, and have every confidence in Gen.
Jordan, and trust he viii live to be in our
history what Lafayette was in yours.

II appears that an effort is to be made
io break up the system which has come
so largely in vogue under Radical rule, of
one person holding two offices There is
tn Zoe more extended division for he
benefit of the panty. Il is reported as not
improbable that heads of bureaus will
unite in asking Congress for the passage
of "a law prohibiting United States civil
officers from holding official position un
der State or municipal authority. II is
said that ihc practice which has SO largely
obtained lately works great injury 10 the
Government business The subject has
again been brought ug ia consequence of
