Prince Alfred of England rivals his elder
brother. the Prince of Wales, in depraved
tastes and low dcbauchery. The latest
folly reported of him took place at Homo
lula, where, at his particular request, dis
graceful and obscene dance called the
"Hula-H Hula was performed. To this nc
white people, aside from the officers of tho
Princes ship, but many half-caste ladies
married to Europeans, without their hus,
bands, were invited. The English residents
were so disgusted with the transaction that
they lowered the British flag to give ex'
preston to their feelings. A little more OF
this sort of thing will end in setting all the
Princes adrift to shift for themselves.

On Friday last the Supreme Court of
West Virginia, sitting at Wheeling, reversed
the decision of Judge Harrison, of the
Grcenhricr circuit, by which four regularly
elected officers Of the county were removed
from Office.
These four officers were Colonel Joel
Mcpherson, Clerk Of the Circuit Court :
George II. Lewis, Recorder; Wallace
Robinson, Sheriff; and Alexander Walker.
Supervisor. The Board of Registration
had arbitrarily stricken the names of these
gentlemen from the books of registration,
and Judge Harrison decided that as they
were not voters they could not hold office,
and turned them out, filling their places
with new appointments.
The Supreme Court decided that the
cxpunging of an of1icc-hol&cr's name from
the registry is not cause for his removal
from Office, and therefore the decision Of
Judge Harrison is reversed.
Each of the mon stricken off by the
registrars and removed from Office were
