The WASHINGTON Speciai OF tho Louisville

The Washington special OF tho Louisville
Coure~-J0ur7,al mentions a proposed bill
abolishing the test oath, and adds:
1t appears that quite a large element in the
South, who are not distranchised by the four
tecnth amendment, are disqualified from
holging office by this iron-clad oath. Hun
drets of young men who entered the Con
fcleratc Sc ice under the age Of twenty
one. and who have now grown into man
hood, are debarred in a measure from polit-
ical preter'nent by this test oath. 1t has
only been modified heretofore in the cases
of members Of Congress, who have had their
disabilities removed by special act. Three
of the four new Georgia members, admitted
to seats to-day, took this qualified oath.

Governor Warmoth has commuted the
sentence Of Richard Farragut from death
to imprisonment for life at hard labor in the
State Penitentiary. Farragut was tried be-
fore Judge Pardee, in tho parish Of Jcffer-
son. FOR the murder Of one Nosay. con-
v:ctcd and sentenced to death. The mitga-
ton Of the sentence was based upon Pc
tition Of the counsel for the accused. sec
onded by the representation of the District
Attorney. Zuirslius Mckay, Esq, and the
following memorandum from Judge Pardce:
The verdict in this case was supported by
the law and the evidence, and l. therefore.
refused u new trial. At the same time it
was not Il verdict that l myself would have
rendered. had been Il juror in the case
There was some testimony which, il credited.
tended to show that within !. short time
twenty minutes to half an holr) previous
to the homicide. there had been an attempt
man Farragut; and it was shown on the
trial that two hours before the homicide
there was q quarrel between the two, i'll
which the deceased cut Farragut with Il
razor. These circumstances, while not
iustfyinS the homicide or excusing it-for
it appeared by the evidence to have been
committed in cold blood-wonld have in
duccd me to render a verdict OF equity OF
murder without capital punishment" l.
therefore, recommend that the sentence be
commuted from death to ,mpr!sonmen. for
life at hard labor.

The Van Eaton Case. i.

! The United States ex relatiOne l.. NJ. Van
! Eaton-A. A. Atocha and T. Mckay for
| relator. This case came up yesterday
morning. 1t viii be recoLected that when
Van Eaton was discharged in the case Of
habcas corpus before Judge Durell, on
Wednesday, he was immediately arrested
again by the New York officer, Sampson
assisted by some of the local police: he was
hurried away in u carriage toward the
Jackson railroad
When the caso was called return was
made by the United States Marshal of the
writ of habeas corpus, which had been di
rectcd to Thomas Sampson, and indOrsed
as follows:
''S;.me day, month and year, served copy
OF the within writ OF habeas corpus on the
within named Thomas Sampson by deliver
Ing the same to him personally on board the
New Orleans. jackson and Great Northern
Railroad train, at Kennerville, Louisiana,
lSigned) S. w. REED,
Deputy United States Marshal.
The counsel of Van Eaton said that such
was not a satisfactory return or sufficient in
the premises He then moved foran attach
ment to the Circuit ColU: Of the Southern
District of New York for a rule on Thomas
Sampson. returnable to this court, to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt. The motion was ordered to be
fled; the counsel remarkins that the ques-
ton was whether the jurisdiction of the
court could be trit1ed with. The court
thought that it could protect itself from
contempt, but that i: would be necessary
for the prisoner counsel to take duo pro-
cess before the prisoner could be held. Here
tho matter rests at present.

Progress or the James Raver I'm.

A party of gentlemen interested in river
navigation went down the James Yesterday
on the steamer Frank Somers, Capt. Cum
ningham, with q view to an examination of
the work Of Prof. Maillefert at DreWry.s
Bluff, ii having been stated that the result
of his operations was cbannel-Way OF 25O
feet wide and IS feet deep at that point.
The party consisted Of Capt. Bourne, of
the Old Dominion steamship Wyanoke !;
Captain Henson, pilot; Mr.. Null, of the
steamer George B. Upton Captain Law
renee, of the steamer Agnes; Mir. Curtis,
ship agent; Captain r. d. Minor, and sew
eral other practical persons.
On the way down the river the first inn
provements noted were those at Richmond
bar, two miles below the city, where they
found much had been accomplished, while
pile-driver and two dredging machines
were still steadily ut work. A good chan
mel has already been opened, with width
of twenty-five feet at the narrowest point,
and with.a depth of fourteen and half or
fifteen feet at mean low water. at the rate
at which the work is now progressing the
channel will be opened to a width OF fifty
feet by the 18th OF July. The crib-work
for retaining the dredaed material and pre-
f'venting its washing back into the channel
| is progressing with dispatch.

Awaiting themselves of the fine new chan

| friends steamed thence to Graveyard reach,
and found the channel there also clear.
Here Prof. Maillefert had found it necessary
| to remove the schooner Gallego, two pilot
boats, and the wreck of an unknown
schooner. At about o'clock the captains
and pilots returned to Richmond, express
| ing themselves as highly gratified at the
progress of the work of cleaning ouL the

LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT.-The disclosures
made in the annexed article, which we
COPY from the Richmond Dispatch, are
we'll calculated to produce asplrit Of de-
cided hostility to the North Carolina rail-
road, on account OF the mean, Diggardly
policy pursued by its direction.
We acknowledge that we were not aware
of the unjust and annoying eXactions en-
forced by the direction Of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Company, and therefore have
embraced every favorable opportunity to
decry the movement to construct u rival
the Airline road-and now We regard it
proper to take a new departure: ~.
The groundwork for the criticism pro-
duced by the Dispatch Is sufficient to pro-
duce thorough revolution in public senti-
ment against the North Carolina Railroad
Company, and elicit the God speed in be-
half of the air line. Let the Ranking pro-
cess be pushed forward, and the bull Zine

REVIVAL AT TEE FIRsT AFRICAN BAPTIST
CHURCH. - The religious revival ut this
church, OF which Rev. James II. Holmes is
pastor, continues with undated and, we
might say, unprecedented interest. On
Sunday, July Cd, the pastor baptized fifty
converts, and on last Sunday one hundred
and fifteen. At the communion in the af-
tcrnoon of the last-named day the right
hand of fellowship was. extended to one
hundred and sixty five newlv-baptized per-
sons. The total number of new converts
baptized during the past spring and present
summer is .eue hundred and fifteen. MIR.
Holmes reports, also. u Sunday school in
most flourishing condition. He has had to
borrow teachers from another church.
