Important Decision by Chief Justice Cbnsc-
The statute OF Limitation Admitted in suits
Against Former United states Officers.
RICHMOND, May 10, 1869.
In the United States Court to-day, in the proceed
ings against the United states Marshal OF this Dis
trct in 1861 for funds turned over to the Confede
rate government, the defendant plead the United
states statute OF limitations ana the plea ad-
mitted by Chief Justice Chase. VINO was presiding,
and the United States was non-suited. This Is an
important decision the plea put forward being the
same that VIII be plead by all postmasters In the

recognized footing with the whites" She
lamented that this was not now the case,
''although the slaves chains have been
broken" and she said 'this fact went to show
what remained of the trail of the serpent that
they still had to remove" Fred Douglass
could not flatter her with the hope that it
would all be removed in the twinkling of an
eye. Emancipation by the war he evidently
regards as kind Of Casarean operation,
equally dangerous and doubtful "a moment
may snatch the chance, but it will take centu-
ries to oblterate the evils it leaves behind.
The selfshness and arrogance of the master
and the servility and ignorance of the
black remain, and 30 long as they remain
he cannot regard slavery as ''out of the
field"
If 1T will take centuries" to remove ''the
trail of the serpent" there is but dim prospect
that the ultimatum of Fred Douglass will be
speedily accepted. Swarms of colored ''pri-
vate citizens" will not at once, like colored
governors" break ''their way into hotels,
churches, lecture rooms and other resorts of
men," The faces of dancers of "the German"
in fashionable Fifth avenue parlors will not
for some time to come exhibit as great
variety of colors as their toilets. Wedding
cards and marriage advertisements will not
yet need to specify, parentheticaly, like lists of
political candidates, the respective complexion,
whether white, black or mulatto, Of bride and
bridegroom, bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Church pews and boxes at the opera or the
theatre will not yet be Unfortunately thrown
open to whites and blacks. So obstinate is
the .''senseless prejudice of caste" that no
black man has yet been elected stockholder
Of the Academy Of Music Nor has any sable
imitator of Fisk, Jr., yet aspIred to his triple
crown of empire over railways, operas and
steamboats,, and invested himself with the
gorgeous uniform Of the Swiss admiral in ''La
Vie Parisienne" But, as Fred Douglass
says, ''the times are advancing" 1t may take
forty centuries, to use his Napoleonic express
sion, for woolly hair to lose its kink, for long
heels to shorten, for thick lips to become thin,
for everybody to learn to like musk, for black
blondes and white blackbirds to be possible,
for the leopard to change his spots and for
rivers to run up hill. Meanwhile amalgama-
tion will probably continue to be the excep-
ton and not the rule in American society,

trary Notwithstanding.

they had been negligent In their dues, yet during the

Here are a few statistics given in

Being in the following proportions
per cent: Legitimate, London 4;
Paris As; Brussels So; Monaco 81;
Vienna lis; Rome 243. As to crimes
of Observation-Disclosures, |

Spain l in every lib; Naples l in
every 2,750; Roman States, l in ev-
cry $50. As to the religious aspect
of the place, from the same authority
we learn that troops of monks and
priests, or boys training for such, are
to be seen at all hours in the streets
of Rome. The shops are closed on
fiesta days, much to the disgust of
their owners; and the churches are
crowded with women, whilst the male
portion of the population of the low
er order spend their time in lounging
about the different osterias both with
in and without the walls. 1t has been
often remarked, that of all the long
train of cardinals, bishops, ecclesias-
tical dignitaries, and other worship
pers who attend the great ceremonies
of the Church, the venerable Pontiff
alone manitests reverence and devo-
tion; while it is proverbial that the
purity of his life forms striking con-
trast to that of many of his court"
Infdelity and beggary, the grossest
superstition and ignorance, fostered
by those whose duty it should be to
dispel it, secret spies, treason by the
hearth of the poor man, misery and
slavery-these are the results of that
@religious atmosphere of which Arch
bishop Manning boasts.
