JAIL.BREAKING.

News OF them mt Last Accounts.
The Louisville Journal of the 18th instant
says:-
The escape of Smith and Mickey and the
other less important prisoners from the county
Jail on Monday evening was the main topic OF
conversation throughout the city yesterday.
How they escaped was the great wonder, and
many were the comments in reference to it. In
point of skilfulness and daring it was classed
with the greatest of the exploits OF the famous
Jack Sheppard. The affair was well planned
and well executed, or else luck was on their
side, and each of them happened to pass out
Just at the very moment when no one was look
ing, and came down a ladder in full view of the
street, which is always crowded with passers.
The account of their escape, as published
yesterday was incorrect in some particulars,
being taken while the excitement was at Its
height and before the real manner of their
escape had been discovered. From an examina-
ton of the premises yesterday 1t was evident
that the principals, at least had long thought
over the matter and had fixed upon this particu-
lar time and manner in which to make the
attempt. When the guards were all called
away to aid in preparing the new jail for
occupation, the prisoners went to cell No.
6, in the third tier, cell which was long
ago cast aside as not fit for use, and in the
ceiling of which there was a narrow and
soft fag-stone. This, by some means or other,
they broke in two, and, one half holding firmly
in its place. the other half was pushed up
into the garrett which is just over this tier of
cells. This made an aperture just about big
enough for a mans head to go through. Through
this they crawled and found themselves in the
garret, or Just under the sbingle roof Nothing
was left but to crawl through the portfolios,
and they were upon the walls of the old prison,
which almost touch the new. Against the wall
of the new prison stood tall ladder, which
| had been used by the workmen and very care
| lessly left standing there. Down this the whole
nine came in broad daylight, with persons pass
| ing to and fro, and were not discovered. They
either then, went back and climbed over plank
fence into the ailey, or walked boldly ont into
Jefferson street and strolled away to be seen nc
more, perhaps forever.
1t was currently reported yesterday that Smith
had been sean at his father-in-law's house, in
suburban California, but the report is moi
authenticated. AS to the seven negroes who
escaped little has been done so far the two mur
derers being considered the main chance. Large
rewards will be offered, and they will be az
sharp in getting away as they were in getting
out II they escape for good.

The Pittsburg Chronicle of last evening SAYS
A guest at the Merchants Hotel came very near
committing careless suicide on Wednesday
morning. His name is ID. j. Martin, and he
came from Brandonville, West Virginia. He is
in the glass business, we believe, and came here
yesterday on business. He took room at the
Merchants, and then went out. He did not
return until about 2 o'clock in the morning, when
he proceeded to his room, one of the smallest,
by the way, in the hotel, and locked the

o'clock this morning. Renovation is going on

tion showed that the gas had been
left turned, on about three-fourths
been either blown out or turned off and the
thumb screw turned partly back in careless haste
or unsteadness. DIR. Rogers was sent for and
promptly attended the patient. By the use of
proper restoratives he was at length brought
back to consciousness, but at last accounts still
lay in o very feeble condition and suffering
very greatly. 1t is thought that he will recover,
but his condition Is somewhat critical. He says
that according to the best of his recollection he

Justice "Shallows" of Ireland. Publicly and
openly, without the least reserve or scruple,
these carry their partisanshlp to such
an extent that the people have come to regard
the tribunals over which they preside as instru-
ments of oppression. Orangeman is as much
opposed to Fenian and Fenian to Orangeman,
as If they were arrayed against each other on
the field of battle. The one does not expect
nor does he get justice from the other. Should
a magistrate have any pique or grudge against
a neghbor he is not, as \ general rule, back
ward In availing himself of his position on the
bench to revenge 1t. Instances of this kind are
of daily occurrence, and have contributed in no
small degree to degrade the Irish bench in the

j u b IL OF
he Colored People of WILMINGTON Celebrate
the PRONUNCIATION of the FIfteeutb amend
ment-Their Gratitude 10 n Veteran Aboii-
tionfst. H H ..

From an Occasional Correspondent r tf.-
.... . .I WILMINGTON, Del April 10.
Happening to visit this city yesterday on business,
was speedily made aware that something OF uu-
usual Importance to the colored folks was going on.
Without exaggeraton, the streets were literally
black with people. A train OF twenty cars left the
depot at Broad and Washington avenue, Phiadel-
phia, and seventeen cars came up from Baltimore,
besides large trains from Dover and Delaware City.
In fact it seemed as If the whole colored population
OF the State was turned loose in Wilmington TO cele
brate the PRONUNCIATION OF the fifteenth amend
ment Among the features Of the day was
procession, which was both large and imposing.
After few preliminary marchings the line pro-
ceeded to the residence OF Thomas Garrett, Esq,
and with many demonstrations OF sincere love and
respect placed him in their midst In an open ba-
rouche. He had wreath OF natural flowers thrown
over his shoulders and looked the very picture OF
content. No man In the country has done more for
the poor and oppressed both black and white, than
Thomas Garrett, and it would have strengthened
your faith IN human nature to have heard the many
expressions OF heartfelt gratitude towards him ut
tered by these slmpe-mlnded creatures.
could fill book with anecdotes related Of him
and the early days of tue Anti-Slavery Society. He
was once robbed Of all his property by the laws Of
Delaware, for his devotion to his principles. AS
showing the affection the poor blacks felt for one
who had suffered 80 much for them, will relate an
incident as told me by an old woman Of eighty
years. She id:-"Did you ever hear of the time
he lost all his money? Well he did lose it ALL ana
we poor darkeys couldn't give him any of it back ;
but tell you what we could do for him--we could
pray, and we had prayer meetings in four OF our
churches every day; and bress de Lord
he got it nearly all back, and then
we thought we had helped him
some" The old man is game" too, as another
said when relating this story:A young colored girl,
who had been much abused by her master, escaped,
and came to Thomas Garrett for the protection he
never refused fugitive from oppression. Her
master, prototype OF his class, demanded her with
pistol in hand, but the old man didn't give her up,
and she eventually escaped. ...
The ceremonies OF the day were concluded by
speech-making at Institute Hall. i fully i'm
pressed with the events OF the day, and at last
clearly understood the meaning Of the sixteenth
amendment. ] wished many times that had been
