Deaths By Poisoning Distress
ing Case.

On Thursday, June goth. in Adams
township, this county, young son of
E. Sprague was taken suddenly sick,
and grew rapidly worse until the Sun
day following. The attending physi-
clan supposed the disease to be some
thing resembling spotted fever On
the following Sunday, the school
teacher of the Fair Play District, Miss
augusta Brown, was taken sick in the
same way, and after much suffering,
died on the following Wednesday. In
the early part of last week young
Charles Coffee and a young son Of Ka-
lep Trapp were taken sick in the same
way, and died and were buried about
the middle of the week. Three in all
are dead. The first one taken sick is
reported better 1t turns out that the
teacher, Miss Brown, and some of her
pupils, had gathered and ate what they
supposed to be @'sweet sicily" but in
reality either wild parsnip or some 9TH
er poisonous root found in the woods
near the school house. The Victims
were mostly unconscious after taken,
and suffered terribly while sick. We
learn these facts from Mr.. J. s..
Sprague, of this place. Marietta Regis

5. General Pelaise, whose life was
threatened by the volunteers, went to
Cienfugos, but the volunteers there re-
fused to allow him to land. He was
compelled to return to Havana. On
his arrival here they demanded his
life because he had sold hiscountry, as
Eserting that he had received $4,000
to allow some rebels to escape. Mar
cisse Escusore, Chief of Administra-
ton, and Senor Diarr, Secretary of
Captain General Dulce, succeeded in
compromising the affair with the volun-
teers, and further outrages were pre-
vented. D5t.l.
Yesterday evening, the volunteers,
greatly excited, assembled before the
Captain Generals palace and shouted,
death 10 Dulcel Death to Pelaise!"
This morning a commission from the
volunteers entered the palace and de-
manded General Dulce's immediate
resignation, declaring that he was al
lied with traitors. The resignation of
the Captain General was soon afterward
announced. No act of violence was
committed.

E Of the intent and meaning of
the new visible admixture" law, as it
is termed, the editor of the Ports
mouth Times, (democratic) who was
member Of the Legislature from Scioto
county, says:-"The law merely pro-
vides punishment for voting by per-
sons who are not white male citizens,
leaving the questions as to who may be
deemed 4eAite, where it was before-in
the Courts" In other words, the law
does not legislate against that class of
persons, who, by our Supreme Court,
because of their preponderance of
white blood, have been declared voters,
but only against those where the pre-
ponderance of blood is black. That
was the understanding we had of the
law, and in that view there is nothing
in it very Objectionable. Still it was
unnecessary, and the time and money
it cost to pass it might have been saw
ed for more important legislation. The
Times apologises for its passage in this
sentence, to-wit:
Heretofore there has been no statute
providing penalty for illegal voting
by negro, no matter how black he
might have been. There was no pun
ishment prescribed either for the negro
for voting or for the Judges of election
for receiving his vote, though he might
be three-fourths black or a pure black,
and not qualified even under the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court, which held
that a man more than half white was
in the meaning of the Constitution, a
"white man."
The statute, providing againstillegal
voting, is general in its terms, speak
ing of such as persons, ">and applies
to all, whether white or black, and pro-
vides penalty for all, of whatever col
or, who illegally put a ballot into the
ballot-box So that this excuse is a
frivilous one-of no force. 1t was sim
ply piece of demagoguery and nothing
else, intended to deceive and mislead
the ignorant and uniformed.

vicinity of Decatur, few days since,
gave birth to one hundred and sac
coloes at one calving, and that another
COW belonging to Mr.. Edward Francis,
in the same vicinity. about the same
time, brought forth sirty. In each in
stance, there was one large developed
calf, while the others were about the
size of large Norway rats. The small
er ones were perfect specimens of min
iature calves in every respect.
The neighbors. denomin ated this
freak as "wild calving,'' The parties
are all well known here, and as there
can be no doubt of the truth of this

E The editor of the Dispatch, is

establishing the present form of
jury trial-and would have it abol-
ished, and have '.jury men elected to

Elective Jurymen! What beau
tiful system that would be, to be
sure! IfJurymen are as corrupt as
the editor of the Dispatch asserts
they are--giving "verdicts without a
shadow of Justice or law"-under
his system money, in every case,
would win the day, and the poor
would be without redress for any of
their grievances. Under our present
system there is but little time for
tampering with Jnry-but little
time for bribery and corruption--but
under this new system the Jurymen
are known for a year perhaps prior
to the trial Of a cause, and, if men
are as corrupt as the editor charges
they are, the party that had the most
money would be sure to be success
ful. TheE, again, we should have

went to the Government palace, and en-
tered, unopposed by the guard, and
