The Equal Right to Murder.

MILE GAINES, saddle-colored sister,
on trial in Washington for the murder
of her white paramour a few months
ago, has been acquitted. The facts of
the trial, as we gather them, are about
as follows:
The evidence disclosed the fact that
the culprit was prostitute long before
her acquaintance with the deceased,
The defence ostensibly rested upon the
progressive" immoral procliyities of
the murdered man; the deception and
injustice practiced by him upon his i'm
maculate victim, and her consequent
insanity. 1t was not forgotten, how
ever, to offer proof which was admitied)
that many years ago (when the prisoner
was slave) she was seduced by rela-
tive of her owner. This evidence was
(however singular it may seem) conclu-
sive of her acquittal, the jury consisting
of six black aud six white specimens OF
the genus homo. The murder was com
mitted III u respectable boarding house,
where the prisoner was servant and
her victim u border. She crushed his
skull with an axe while he was reelin-
ing upon a sofa.
Insanity" was the plea upon which
MARY HARRIS, of Washington, gay
and gushing white damsel, was acquit-
ted of the murder of her lover, BUR-
RoUGHS, some time ago. To allow a
white woman TO kill her sweetheart by
reason of her extemporized craziness,
and to deny black woman the same
high privilege before the law, would be
TO maintain an unpardonable and dis
graceful distinction on account of race
OF color There was no escaping this
verdict of acquittal. The right of
GAINES, black, to do what HARRIS
white, had done must be vindicated.
1t Is the legitimate result of the war;"

Union heroes are made of no avail. All

Turn-The PesItien OF Presfden'
Grast-Chief Jasiice Chase and ti1s
Yerger Case.
WASHINGTON, July 16, 1860.
1t may be said, in q word, and with
truth, that the Administration has no
"policy." foreign or domestic. The
President has none. Every question,
as it arises, is disposed of according to
its immediate personal or partizan sur
roundings, without the slightest refer
ence to other cases of analogous bearing.
There cannot be the least doubt that
the President was fully committed to
the principle so called) which tri-
umphed in Virginia, and that he and
several members of his Cabinet express
ed themselves fully and plainly in favor
of their prevalence inTennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Texas. But it may now
well be feared that (beyond an effort to
elect Dent Governor of Mississippi and
Sharpe Senator from Yirginia) not a
finger will be lifted in defence of the
emancipation of the whites of the South,
or even for the admission of Virginia
under her recently adopted Constitu-
ton, in case of the defeat of DR.. Sharpe.
General Grant desires the aggrandize-
mept of his family and connections, and
an easy time with the Radical party. He
will do nothing inconsistent with these
two prime objects. But l still think
that the "Jordoh" he has chosen sis
hard road to travel" His two objects
are totally Incompatible with Radical
ideas. He must meet the issue ahead.
Neither of the great parties of the coun-
Try conceive that their interests har-
monize with his "otiam cum digni,
tate" A year hence, instead OF
enjoying his cigar and whiskey in
a "drsam of love fading away"
he will be in a mood to wish the
Presidency in Dante's Bottomless Pit,
preceded by those who, in an evil hour,
inveigled him into its occupancy. The
Head Of a Government to be successful must
necessarily be conservative.
1t is altogether a mistake to suppose
that Judge Chase failed to decide the
Yerger hdbeas corpus case" Much less is
.ita matter of regret that decision was
not reached. / have already adverted

was seen by the counsel for the appli-
cant, and sccedQd to by the Attorney
General, that the question at issue was
of momentous consequence, and should
be stripped of legal quibbles, without
setriment to the parry to the proceed
ing, and others placed in the same pre-.
dicament. Judge Chase's agency in the
matter was simply to give effect to the
agreement of counsel on both sides, en-
dorsed by the President. He could not
do otherwise.

obstacle in Secretary Boutwell,. The
Secretary won't 60 in for making Dent
Governor of the reconstructed State, be-

4 STRANGE SrnRY.-The London Herald
tells the following singular and touching
story:
Not many years since certain miners.
working far underground. came upon the
body of poor fellow who had perished in
the suff,cating pit forty years before Some
chemical agent to which the body had been
subiected-an agent prepared in the labora-
tory of nature-had effectually arrested the
progress of decay. They rought it up to
the surface, and for awhile. till it crumbed
through exposure to the atmosphere it lay
there, the image of fine, sturdy young man.
No convulsion passed over the face of death
the features were tranquil. the hair was
black as jet. No one recognized the face-a
generation had grown since the day on which
the miner went down his shaft for the last
time. But a lettering old woman. who had
hurried from her cottage at hearing the
news. came up. and she knew again the face
which through all these long years she had
not quite forgotten. The poor miner WAS to
have been her husband on the day after that
on which he died. They were young people,
of course, who were looking on; liberal
education and refined feelings are not deemed
essential to the man whose work is to get uu
Goals, or even tin; but there were no dry
eyes when the gray headed old pilgrim cast
herself upon the youthful corpse and poured
into its deaf ear many words of endearment
unused for forty years. 1t was touching
contrasts the one so old, the other so young
They had both been young these long years,
but time had gone on with the living and
stood still with the dead.

Hon. GEo. C. GoRHAM.-A distinguished
writer, now in Washington, bestows the fol-
lowing deserved praise on Hon. George c.
Gorham
This gentleman stands in the highest esti.
nation with all the members Of the United
States Senate. The position he holds is one
of the most exalted in the Government, and
in point of influence NAV be said to equal
that of a Cabinet officer. He is already
looked upon as the young giant OF the Pacihc,
and when it is taken into consideration that
he has been the recipient of Gubernatorlal
nomination-is at present in possession OF a
life-lasting position (Secretary OF the Senate)
possessed of the confidence of the magnates
of the government-a decidedly practical
man, and only thirty four years of age-who
will not say it is within his reach to grasp
the very highest honors in the gift OF the
people.
While we are glad to know that the high
est intellects of the nation recognize ard ap-
preciate the patriotism and genius of the
noble young giant of the Pacific, we cannot
refrain from entertaining feelings of indig
nation when we remember the course of
certain persons hereabouts, who, calling
themselves Union men, heaped SANDER and
abuse upon the name and reputation of the
fairly chosen standard bearer of our party
These canting hypocrtes were too honest and
pure to vote for the man whom distinguished
Senators and men of exalted reputation de-
light to honor. Let the vampires bag their
heads. The true Union men of Shasta re-
member them.

JUST ESTIMATE OF HORACE GREELEY.

Greeley for Congress, in opposition to
Morrisscy, the pugilist, the Irish Republic

" Why is the name of Horace Greeley

nection with the first Congressional Dis
trict, and with the position of member of
Congress! We do not believe in throw
ing pearls before swine,' to be trampled

litical dodge There is no man in this Re-
public to whom the people owe more than
Horace Greeley. Others have burst into
notoriety and dazzled the multitude with
their brilliant actions. But if Horace
Greeley, and men such as he, had not pre-
pared the way for the mighty events of the
past few'years, where would all your mighty
