DmCGvERY OF A HUMAN SKELETON Cor
Nsx OF CANAL AND CHARITIES SrREErs.--
For several days past laborers have been
engaged in digging a fosse for the founda-
ton OF . building to be erected at the corner
of Chartres and Canal streets, after having
cleaned away the debris Of a ruined build
ing, which was twice or thrice destroyed by
locality Yesterday one of the diggers found
hard substance impeding his spade, which,
as the sell in that particular spot is of old
formation, and wet, surprised him. Care
fully showing the clay awaya human skull
was discovered, and finally all the bones of
full grown person. The skull was partly
covered with cloth, and appeared to have
been buried for years, although quite
sound, except in one place, which seemed
to have been shattered as if by heavy
stroke The laborers threw the remains un-
concernedly into the heaps of mud, scarce
giving the subject a second thought.
How and when were those bones Of a
once sensible being placed theres What
was the reason for depositing them there. in
such an unusual place Naturally the sup
position intrudes itself that they belonged to
murdered body, deposited there to avoid
exposure Of some terrible crime. If not
that, then why make a sepulchre out of a
locality only one square from the Custom
house, in the very centre of our city!
For years, thousands and thousands of
people have busted themselves in barter and
pleasure directly over the remains OF a
skeleton, once endowed with life. and were
unconscious of the terrible history buried
beneath their feet-a history never to be
written, although, in all probability, there
are persons still dwelling in our midst who
know Of the circumstance. Now that change
and time have brought this grinning, CHASTITY
skull to the light of day, let the one who
hid it there do penance until death shall
bring him unto the like of it-dry bones,
lying in unconsecrated ground.

The Three Remedies. "ScHEyCH's PUH.-

"schenck's Sea- Weed Tonic" for the
cure Of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and ali
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
invigorates the digestive organs, supplies

sovereign remedy for all cases OF indiges-

Committee.
WAsHINGroN, February 8

WASHINGTON, February 8.
The National Executive Commit
tee, George z. Downing, President,
and +. G.. Borbodes, Secretary, have
issued the following address to the
coIored people of the United States:
Your National Executive Com
mittee, created by you in the Nation
al Convention, assembled January Ii,
1869. to urge legislation looking to
the educational, material and political
interests of colored people of the
nation, deem that they have at length
arrived. in the progress of their eff
forts. at probable political consum-
nation of their hopes, in so far as the
organic law of the Republic is con-
cerned. They recognize that desired
result in the anticipated announce
ment of the ratification OF the Fiji
teenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, which forblds any
abridgements of the right of suffrage
on account of race, color, or previous
condition of any citizen OF the United
States. They feel that this amend
| ment should, in the estimation OF the
colored men, transcend in importance
even the revered Declaration OF our
| National independence, inasmuch as
it is a practical affirmation of the
rights of men, while the other was
but theoretical enunciation thereof.
Therefore has it been determined that
it Is fitting for your Committee to ad-
wise the general assembling of colored
| people of every State and Territory
through the length and breadth of the
land whenever said Fifteenth Amend
ment shall have been officially an
nounced as ratified in order to offer
ND PRAYER and thanksk- ing to Al
mighty God, and in proper ways to
assure the world of our realization
and appreciation of the righteous act
of our fellow countrymen IN constl'
tutionally securing to us that which
has always been our just due, but IN
justly withheld.
Your Committee does hereby
thus advise, and takes occasion, a.
the same time, to declare, IN your
name, that this Just act of The Amerl.
can people will be held at its full esti'
nation by those whom it enfran.
chiseS; that they will make such use
of these rights as will add to the
honor aud material interests of the
country, aud that in the possession ol
this right, along with others previ.
ously secured, they will really have {
country to respect and defend, as wei
as fellow countrymen toward whom
they can cherish most affectionate
regard.

A SHORT time since we noticed the
fact that an iron master, of Roehes-
ter, New York, has stated to public
meeting of the citizens of Albany,
that pig iron could be made at the
latter place for $24 60 per ton. A
movement was Immediately started,
looking toward the erection of a blast
furnace. and we now have the news
that $4,000 have been subscribed,
more than enough to build the fur
mace and put it In working order. We
commend this fact to the Terre Haute
Erpress, which is in the laudable en-
terprise OF crippling its own State, by
the publication of such monstrously
ridiculous stories as that iron cannot
be manufactured in Indiana for less
than $50 to $32 per ton. There Is no
reason why iron can be made In Al
bany any cheaper than in Brazil or
indianapolis, and while $4,000 is
subscribed as an experiment in one
place, the effect of the Terre Haute
Express, if it has any effect at all. is
to keep capital from investing a dol
lar in a State where iron can be made
to better profit than in almost any
other in the Union.-IndtGnGpottS

THE validity of Indiana divorces is
on trial before the Supreme Court of
the United States. The parties were
married at Washington some years
ago. The wife obtained a divorce in
Indiana, after due publication, the
husband putting in an appearance.
The divorce thus obtained was held
void in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, from which it
was taken on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is given
out that the decision Of the District
Court will be reversed, and full force
and effect be given to Indiana di-
VOrces.
