The CASPBELL ABDUCTION CAse.-The
particulars were given in this paper some
days since Of the mysterious disappearance
of q girl thirteen years Of age named Mat
tie C. Wood, daughter Of MIR. James Wood,
near Pigeon run, in Campbell county. It
was strongly suspected that the girl had
been outraged and murdered by 8 negro
named Henry Toler, who disappeared on
the same day. We learned on yesterday,
however, that after most active and en-
ergetic search the black scoundrel was
found about forty miles from the place of
the abduction, and the girl with him. He
was arrested and brought back to Camp
bell for trial, and the girl restored to her
parents. The negro claims, we learn, that
she went with him voluntarily; but this
the girl denies, and says she was forced to
accompany her abductor under the most
fearful threats of instant death should she
refuse or give any alarm which would lead
to his discovery. ..-:s.-..,.-...-~

IHE GREAT TEXAS CAsE.-A Washing
ton letter in the Baltimore Gazette says:
1.-THE Supreme Court will be occupied
Tomorrow with the discussion on the great
Texas case, involving the question as to the
validity Of an assignment made by the
State OF Texas during the war of 1857, 900
Of United States bonds held by that State.
the State authorities are now endeavoring
to recover these bonds on the ground that
Icxas ceased 10 be State when she joined
III the rebellion, and therefore could not
have assigned away what belonged to Texas
az a State organization. The defendants
deny this proposition, but claim that if
Texas ceased to be q State on the break
ing out of the rebellion she is still no State,
and therefore cannot sue in the United
States Supreme Court, which has original
Jurisdiction only when State" brings
the action. The case is one which excites
the deepest interest, as it clearly involves
the political status of Texas with reference
10 the Federal Union, and the court cannot
avoid the ISSUE"

GRANT AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE NORTH
Washington, February 2.-General Grant,
IN conversation this morning, took square
ground in favor of impartial suffrage. He
seemed 10 have some doubt about the power
Of Congress to regulate suffrage by law, but
said that there could be no sound objection
to submitting constitutional amendment
10 the people. He spoke Of the one passed
by the House on Saturday as embodying
the right idea, but expressed no opinion on
the language therein chosen. he said ex-
plicitly that the principle Of impsrtial suf-
frage is right in itself, and added, that as
We have, through the reconstruction acts,
imposed negro suffrage on the southern
States, it is only fair that the northern
States should give the ballot to their OWN
colored citizens. He thought the question
ct issue had better be disposed Of as soon
as possible, SO as to take disturbing ele-
ment out Of our affairs and indicated a
hope that the amendment would be passed
by Congress before the end Of the present
session.-Boston Advertiser.
