1t has been ascertained that the occasion
of the special Cabinet meeting, on Wednes-
day last, was the consideration of the noto-
rious Yerger case. Attorney General Hnar
had expressed the opinion that, owing to
the well-known defects of those sections of
the reconstruction acts referring to the juris-
dction of the civil courts, the Supreme
Court will undoubtedly render an opinion
in the case adverse to the military tribunal
before which Yergcr was tried and c0nyic-
ted. The result Of the consultation was, Of
course, a decision to abide by the final action
of the court. 1t is generally understood
that this final action will not be promulga-
ted by the court until after Congress meets.

A Narrowing scenc-nIrs. Crane Pleads for
FTon the Natchez MISSY Democrat, June 21.
Through the Kindness of friend we are permitted
to make the following extracts from ady's private
bnity Of heart in the widow of the late Colonel Crane
as cannot but add il anything can be added, to the
profound sympathy felt for the bereayed lady by the
people OF Mississippi We quote:-
"When Rev. Dr. Crane got to Browns
store he found Colonel Crane living with his feet
the pavement, and his head and body in the store,
just weterng in his blood, and dead. On the floor,
clinging to the dead body of her husband and COW
cred with his blood, was his wife, calling him by
every endearing name, implonng him to speak once
more. She was surrounded by men and negroes;
no female near her While Rev. Dr. Crane knelt
by her. trying to do what he could the negro
preacher Lynch stopped over and said to her,
You shall be revenged.' DIR. Crane told him
there was no place for such language; If he could
say nothing to soothe her he must remain quiet.
Finally, Mrs Crane was induced to enter carriage,
where they were joined by Mrs. Judge Jeffords and
Mrs Major Eagan, and all went to DR. Cranes resi-
dence. Here the awful trial commenced-for the
seated in chair covered with her husbands blood.
She looked up at me and smiled, but oh! such a
smile She threw her arms around me- and asked
me II knew Joseph had been murdered, calling him
by every tender name. l almost shreked with
agony l got water and washed the blood
from her hands. l never witnessed such agony The
ladies wept. The tears streamed down the cheeks
of the officers. Mrs. Crane begged to go home at
once to her parents-to her two sons-to the home
where she had gone when first married, where her
husband had made her life one scene OF happiness,
etc. She sang; she raved; but suddenly she turned
you to hear my words Judge Jeffords, by all
the love you bore my husband and l know he
was your dearest friend-your partner in law for
seven long years-by all the love you bore him, l
beseech you TO use all the influence you have to
save the man who murdered him. Joseph is in the
hands of his God; let that God be his avenger
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord Let not Mr.
Yerger fall into the hands of man: let blood
be split; let my husbands blood be offered for peace
let 1t cry to heaven for peace for his country; let it
be the martys blood crying for peace.
this to all. l would go and see Mrs. Yerger II |
could, and tell her have no feeling OF revenge
"She then threw herself into the arms of Dr. Crane
and screamed looking perfectly demented"
The remainder of the letter is a narrative of in
tense grief, from the privacy OF which it would not
be proper to remove the veil.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Despatches received
at the Navy Department from Rear-Admiral
Rowan commanding the Asatic Squadron state
that there is prospect of the renewal of civil

operations having arrived, the Mikado's Govern
ment had determined to dislodge Enomato from
his defenses in the vicinity of Hakodadi. squad

equipped for sea in Yeddo bay.
During the inspection the flagship blew up
with much loss of life. There is n rumor of the

Enomato is said to hold strong position to
