The New York World Of Sunday says:
This suit against Boston firm to recover
the value of il cargo of sugar from Manila
which has been on trial before Judge
Blatchford and a jury for nearly three
weeks, and which involved larger amount
of money than any similar proceeding ever
in this district, was ended on Saturday by
disagreement of the Jury, seven OF whom
were for the merchants and five for the
government. The questions of revenue law
and the Customhouse practices involved in
it are important to our commercial readers

SOLDIER RoBBED.-Wednesday night is
landmark in the memory of John Pire, Il
United States soldier, in this city on bust
ness. The fatcs. or bad whisky, led his I'M
pulsive body to an establishment kept by
Eliza Nicaud, whose reputation is not as
white as snow. John asserts that while in
the house Eliza and Etienne stood him up
and robbed him of three hundred dollars in
currency and New York draft for one
thousand dollars, payment of which was
stopped yesterday. Dumas and Foster,
of the third precinct police, took the ac-
cused to prison, and Recorder Staes will
look into the assertions.

sumner and seward.

The New York Commercial says:
In the course of the Senate debate ycstcr-
day Mr.. Schurz noted the remarkabl cir
c,lnstance that Mir. Sumner had been
'.struck down by men of his own party, i'll
the same seat he occupied when assaulted
by a Southern rutfian, and where he shed
his bloo,. for the liberation of the slave"
This expression Of sympathy was well
enough ia its way. and Mr.. Schuiz is a zeal
Gus advocate: bat the alluson suggests an
inquiry as to the amount of sympathy be-
slowed upon Mr.. Seward, when he. too. fell
under the assault OF "a Southern rufiian.'
Mr. Stewards blood was shed, like Mr. Sum
ners to crafty the passion OF hate; but Mr..
Seward, unlike Mr.. Sumner. was IL helpless
invalid when the assassin knife was struck
at HIM While public sympathy is in
fashion, let us acknowledge Mr. Stewards
claim to a share of it. lie is at least as
worthy of that regard as Mr.. Sumner.
