ConkIing said the ReDresentatlves had
been elected before iapedimenf, If there
was any, arose.
The debate was interrupted by the. .expi-
ration OF the morning hour, which brough {
up the Constitutional amendments
salisbury was entitled to the floor, but
Edrnunds appealed 10 him TO give waY for
a vote on the resolution with regard 10
counting the vote OF Georgia.
Salisbury declined, and procee ded to
address the Senate on the amendment. he
regarded it not as an amendment to the
Constitution, but as an Tempt at the
suppression of 1t and other state COnSt1tu-
lions. The fathers Of the Constitution had
sole mnIy voted down in convention the
proposal to make the Federal GoNernms
Il nominal one, but their descenditnIs Wno
had the advantage OF living IN an az i.,'P Vi
progress, and learning their pontlcfti PM
lusophy from ne newspapers, We're now uolns
that which the great men OF tue reyotu-
flonafv period had so carefully aVOldeu.
This amendment, however, was simply q
part of the programme of the kad1cal
party-a party already guilty OF such
tyranny that 1t would be well for g Om ng
generations, If fOrgetful of their ;itrocIous
acts, that tile historian's pen be pafislyzed
in recording them. He would then adYo-
cate the measure.

CANNIBALIsM IN ALGEkrA.-The Courier deB
Etats Unis gives an account OF a shocking ex-
hlbtion of cannibalism in French Algeria,
near tho little Town of Tiaret, on the border Of

were that O terrible famine was raging and
that the population was dying ut the rate OF

to hard labor for life. 1t appears that while
search was being made for some murderers,
the police officers came across tent which
they thought proper to search. An Arab was
seated in the middle OF the teht. Opposite
him was woman about thirty years OF age.
Between tho two was an earthen pot filled with

THE R1TUAIIsTs m ENaLAND.-An impor-
tant meeting of the English Church Union was
held in London on the 18th of January, at
which Archdeacon Denison presided. The late
Judgment of the judicial committee was dis
cussed at some length, and series OF resolu-
tions were adopted, the most important Of
which was to the effect that the meeting did
not recognize the existing court Of final appeal
as tribunal competent to declare the Law OF
the Church of England upon either doctrines
or ceremonial, and that the Judgment in the
case of ':Martin VS.. Mackonochie," Disregard
ed the Church Of highlands fundamen-
tai principle Of connexion with and refer
ence to the church primitive and catholic,
1t was further recognized that the court might
at some future time proceed to decide some
point of doctrine in a sense which would make
disobedience the highest duty. But to the ma;
jority the prohibition Of ceremony did not
appear to require the sacrifice Of opportuni-
ties Of usefulness, by acts which must end In
the separation Of those who committed them
from the church Of their fathers. The ag-
grieved clergy will remain in the church in
order, to use the language Of their resolution,
'sto spread in oil possible ways the doctrine of
the Real Presence" On that doctrine the Privy
Council must pronounce when MIR. Benefits
case comes before it, unless il be true that the
prosecution Of that gentleman for heresy has
been abandoned.

WOODEN CAR WHEELs.-Wood car wheels,
it is reported, have been introduced recently
on one of the New York railways. Though
these wheels cost three times the price of he
ordinary cast iron wheels, the expense, 1t is
contended, is Of little consequence when com
pared with the advantages gained. They
ride smoothly, making conversation, read
ms and writing an N easy task On
soued elm, or teak, with stee, tires; are
very durable, and will wear. by reason OF
thoir elasticity and durabili :, over four hun
dred thousand miles of railway, while the
average use Of the ordinary iron wheel is
but fifty thousand mI.s, after which 1t is ne.
cessary to break it IL. 1t Is also asserted that
this wheel is so con 'r cted that it is impossi-
pie for the tire to b,r' me displaced, and that
the wear to the track s much less than oy, the
cast iron wheel. Wooden wheels are used on
the Metropolitan Underground Railway, OF
London, where the frequent and sudden start;
ings and stoppages Of the trains are calculated
to rack and destroy the material of which they
are composed. No accident, tits asserted, has
vet occurred on that road.

LYNCH L4WI IN NORTH COROLLNA.
A dispatch dated Goldsboro', N. c.. Januar,

A dispatch dated Goldsboro', N. c.. January
2Sth, says:
Considerable excitement prevails at Kinston,
in regard to the lynohing OF five prisoners on
Saturday night, and other subsequent occur.
rences. From an eye witness, and old negro,
who lives near the bridge, learn that the
awful sentence Of Judge Lynch was certainly
and most horribly executed on the bridge. He
having been awakened by the firing OF pis-
tolls, &C., says he heard each splash as the
il-fated victims were cast into the seething
waters. I am informed by the iailor that,
according to the confession OF one OF
the negroes, whose name was John Miller,
these dupes OF ignorance desecrated the re-
mains OF MIR. Williams under the superstltlous
impression that by putting portion OF dust
obtnlned from his bones about their persons,
or, in other words, puncturlng 1t into their
Jaws, they would be under the influence OF q
kind of magic charm, by which they would be
enabled to commit all manner Of crimes with
out the possibility Of detection. This is the
substance OF the confession Of Miller, one Of
the gang OF desperadoes. Tho names OF the
men so summarily executed are as follows ::
Richard Mobiles, white; Robert Grady, John
Miller, Kader Hening and Daniel Smith, col
ored
Tho town is strictly guarded. the negroes Of
the vicinity having threatened to liberate the
prisoners now confined in Jail, burn tho town,
Sc. have elso been credibly informed OF the
enactment Of most horrible tragedy few
nights ago in the lower part of Duplin County.
The part culars. as far as ascertained, are as
follows: "a young man by the name OF
Duvanghan came upon party o. negroes VINO
wero endeavor,ng to violate the persons OF
somo young ladies. He fred upon them, upon
which they deslsted, making precpitaio re-
treat"
On the following night they went to the
house where Mr.. Duvaughan slept. under some
false pretence aud succeeded Ill getting him to
open the door, when he WAS struck heavy
blow upon the hoad with an axo by one of the
party, killing him, it is thought, instantly.
The rufians tncn split his body completely
open, and hung up each half separately IN his
room. No arrests have been made.
The party that were lynched here, it is said,
were guilty of humorous other depredations on
both whites and blacks, and were regularly
organized band.
