Death Of q Free Government.

The following Is from IA speech delivered by
Hon. ID. W. Voorhees,, of Indiana
1t is melancholy spectacle To behold a
free government die. The world, il is true, is
filled with evidences of decay All nature
speaks the Voice Of dissolution, aud the high
way Of history and OF life is strevn with the
wrecks which time. the great despoiler, has
made. But the hopes Of the future. bright
visions Of reViTing glory, are nowhere denied
10 the heart Of man, save as he gazes on the
downfall Of legal liberty. He listens sOrrow-
fully To the Autumn winds as they sigh
through diSnIntlcd forests, but he knows that
their breath will be soft and vernal in the
Spring, and that the dead flowers and with
cred foliage will blossom and bloom again
He the sky overcast with the angry frown
of the tempest, but he knows the sun will re-
appear, and the cmblazonry OF God cannot
perish. Man himself this strange connecting
link between dust and Deity totters wcarily,
wearily onward under the weight of years
and pain. towards the tomb, but how briefly
his life fingers around the dismal spot II is
filled with tears and grief, and the willow and
the cypress gather around it with their loving
but monrnful embrace. And ~ this all! Not
30 IL nian die shall he not live again ?
beyond the grave, in the distant Aidenn, hope
provides an elyslum uf the soul, where the
mortal assumes immortality, aud life becomes
an endless splcndnr. But where, sir, in all
vulsions, wars and crimes, can you point your
anger To the tomb Of free commonW Wealih ON
which the angels Of resurrection have ever de-
scended, or from whose sepulchre the stone of
despotism has been rolled away? Where, in
what age, and in what cline, have the reius
of constitutional freedom renewed their youth
and gained their lost estate? BY whose strong
grip has the dead corpse of the republic once
fallen, ever been rsised2 The merciful Ma
ker, who walked upon the waters and bade the
winds be still left no ordained apostle with
power to wrench apart the jaws Of national
death, and release the victim Of despOtsm
The vail Of the heart-broken over the dead Is
not so sad as the realization OF this fact
But all history, with loud, unbrokon voice,
proclans il, and the evidence Of what the
past has been is conclusive To my mind of
what the future will be. Wherever in the do
main of human conduct people once pos
sessed OF liberty have surrendered those great
gifts OF God at the command of the usurper,
they have never Afterwards proven themselves
worthy to regain their forfeited treasure.

THE OUsrED CRY OFF1oERs-THE1R CASE BE-
FORE CHIEF JUSTICE NOSES case Of
Messrs. W. N. Hughes, G. P. Frazer, p. c.
Query and O., N. Averll, who were recently
elected from Office, was called before Chief JUS
tice Moses yesterday morning in the equity
courtroom. The parties were represented by
their counsel, Messrs. Lesesne & Miles.
Afidavits were read by Mr.. Miles from the
ousted officers, giving an account OF the elec-
ton, terms Of Office, &C.. and he gave notice
that he would ask. on the first three cases.
that rule against the Mayor aud the officers
who had been forclbly put into Office be grant
ed for them to show cause why q naandansus
should not be issued to compel them to res
tore the Offices.
Assistant District Attorney, on the part OF
the respondents, denied that there was suffi-
cient cause shown as would warrant the court
to award the rule.
Mr.. Miles contended that the afidavits did
make out case which would warrant the is
suing of the rule, 10 which the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney replied that he did not wish to
go into an argument at this term, and desired
that rule should be issued returnable within
six weeks time, by which time the City Attor-
ney would have returned. ft
After some further discussion, the Chief
Justice stated that he would grant continu-
ance for fortnight to oblige the City Attor-
ney, but would hear Mr.. Miles now on the
question whether or not a ,nanddnaus was the
proper remedy. and would give the Assistant
District Attorney time to answer.
Mr.. Miles then. commenced an argument ON
the question as agreed upon. taking the ground
that If the aDpJiCanta were eptif1e6 to tho
Offices claimed by them~hey were entitled to
the remedy of n,andamus.
At the conclusion Of the argument, the
Chief Justice announced that he would allow
two weeks time for the Assistant District At
torney to prepare his argument.
The court then adjourned.

The CATERPILLAR ON THE SEA ISLANDS. -
While strong fears were entertained by many
planters, from the experience Of the past two
years, In reference to the return of the cotton
caterpillar during the present season, OF hers
we're hopeful that the causes that produced
this destructive insect would. for time at
least, cease to operate, and, with favorable
weather, that successful year might be look
ed for. The season has been unusually suit
able, according to previous theories. to prevent
an insect visitation, much of the spring having
been cold, while NAY and June were unusually
dry, and The latter very hot. This state of the
weather. with the general good appearance OF
the CROP caused planters to be hopeful that
they had passed the worst, and that thei. ef-
forts would be rewarded with good crop year;
but, yesterday, information was received in
the city. from several of the islands, that the
caterpillar had been discovered in the fields,
and specimen Of the insect on cotton leaf,
which it had partly destroyed, was to be seen,
yesterday, Mt the Office Of Messrs. g. l.. How
ard & Bro, Boyce Co.'s wharves, which had
been taken from the crop Of Mr.. Lawton, on
James Island. The insect is also reported at
several plantations on that island. 1t is as yet
impossible to say what these appearances in
dicate; out if the visit is to be as destructive
as the past two seasons, tn Gre is every reason
to fear that full half the crop will be des-
trOyed.
