/
WASHINGTON, March l9
The case of Avery aud others, indict
| ed uuder ther enforcement Act for the
killing OF one jim Williams, while ut
tempting to prevent colored people from
voting iu South Carolina, now came up
before the Supreme Court, and was
argued on u,otioh made by the Govern
ment to dismiss the Writ of Error be
cause 1t is from motion to quash which
was wholly Within the discretion OF the
Court below, the Government insisting
that us the matter was within the dis.
cretion Of the Court, this Court has not
jurisdictiuu TO review it The case in
wolves the constitu,ionality OF the En-
f"rcement or Ku.kl lux Act, of May.
1870. On the question whether the
Fifteenth Amendment authorizes the
legislation, or in other words, whether
the Act is appropriate Legislation to
carry into etcee, the provisions of the
amendment, the Government takes the
affirmative of the question, and the de-
fence the negative, insisting that the
amendment authorizes no legislation ON
the subject of suffrage, but leaves that
matter Wholly with tho States, except to
provide that they shall make no law
dcbarring any citizen from the right, ON
account Of race, color or previous condi-
tion of servitedc.
II is also contcnded by the defence,
that the Act makes no provision Tor
proceeding against individuals, except
when attempting to do the prohibited
acts by authority OF the statutes of II
State. The case is conducted by the
Attorney General and Assistant Attur
ncy General Hill for the Government,
and by Henry Stnnberry and Rcverdy

|. Mile Raehel's father died recently at the
age of seventy-fve. He long considered
his gifted daughter as a milk COW who was
to supply him and family with all they
wanted. He acquired in time an extraor-
binary sense of the exigencies of the stage,
and gave lessons, not only to his children,
Sarah, Rebecca, Liza and Raphael, but to
strangers who were considered profitable,
although he himself was unable to talk
French clearly. d His Alsatian or Swiss
German accent he could never discard. He
was originally a Jew peddler, tramping
from village to village, making money in
any way he could discover. His children
strummed the guitar, seraped the fiddle,
ground the hurdy- gurdy, accompanying the
instrument with their voice, until some
body discovered the sparkle of RachePs
genius, and pointed out the path which
leads to fame and fortune. He rose with
her.

A correspondent writes to the MankatO,
Mimi, Union of a widow, who resides in
certain town in Winona county, who had
been wO0ing two young striplings, the one
ten and the other eleven years her junior.
Both the lads happened to meet the lady at
the same time, and both were on the errand
of deciding upon the day for celebrating
the nuptials, as each had the encourage
ment to believe himself the famous sutton.
The widow herself was undecided, and a
scene of tears gave a momentary relief to
the heart-throbbings of the two young
lovers. Finally she chose the younger Of
the two, and they parted for the night In
the morning the discarded lover bethought
himself of his photograph and ring, still in
the possession of the lady. He went to the
lady to obtain them, and again sought
favor in her eyes. She yielded, and prom
ised if he should get his license first she
would marry him. He left on the after
noon train for Winona to procure the Ii
cense, and noticed his rival on board, who
was on the same errand, but evidently
knew nothing of the new bargain As soon
as the train arrived the lover who held the
latest promise pushed for the clerks Office
and obtained his license, and just as he
was retiring the rival entered and applied
for license to marry the same woman.
Our hero who had obtained the license was
bound to press his advantage, and, instead
Of waiting for the morning train, which
would bear his rival home, he footed it
home through the mud the same night, and
secured his prize the next morning by mar
rying the "grass wilder"

The Homer Iiad, Jasper Blackburn's
journal, seldom has a more sensible edi-
tOIial than the following:
1t would seem that Governor Warmoth
is thoroughly committed to the Liberal Re
publican movement and will support
Greeley This may be best for all Of us;
but in Governor WarmOth's case, certainly
no fair or reasonable man can blame him.
As to Greeley, he certainly has as good
Republican record as Grant; and as to
WarmOth he certainly has as good a Re
publican record as many in this State, and
at Washington city, who have persistently
sought to rule him out of what is by them
termed the regular Republican party OF
Louisiana. Our prediction is that War
moth viii Win-WhateYer the national re-
suit may be. We certainly want a Repub-
publican elected to the Presidency, without
any entangling alliances with the 'POssum
Democracy; but if we can not have this
without the sacrifice of personal honor,
and without sanctioning glaring personal
and political injustice to a man like Gov
ernOr WarmOth, who helped so manfully
and efficiently to build up the Republican
party in the South, and especially in Lou
isiana, and who has done so much and en-
dured so much sacrifice to lift up the black
man from his former degradatiOn-why, we
must say, rather than submit TO and in
dorse such conduct and such a programme
as this, we, as a Republican, Gin whom
there is no guile" would be willing to take
old Horace Greeley on trust, with even his
present alliances, for we know the old man,
personally and intimately; and If he is not,
in a personal and individual sense, honest
and good Republican, we certainly have
no such character in all the land. But we
shall see what we shall see, when the
waters are a little more troubled.

be regarded as a model craft for the grain

Grace Greenwood has been on visit to
San Francisco, and, writing about the news
papers there, she refers to the famous and
audacious S-letter-half jester and half
bandit-feared and denounced by every
body sit has, hear, lately lost its wittiest
and wickedest editor. When he flung dirt
there was always little gold dust mixed
with it. The English he used was terrible,
but it was English-chOice even in its
venom. 1t was pitiless, but it was pure. In
satire this writer seems to be a Dean Swift,
ungoverned and utterly BOhemianized. On
the whole, though, Mr.. Bearse, late Town
Crier,' is a better man and humaner being
than he thinks himself"

great fire, which cost FROM 100000 to

minor burnings and, if there had been any

The Shreveport Times saws:

The irregularity with which the mail ser

Quoted has justly given rise to much COM
plaint we are pleased, however, to learn
from the postmaster of Shreveport that or
ders have been issued from the department
that promise an Improvement. HencefOrth
it is expected that we will have mails
through to this city from New York in five
days. Mail matter is to be expressed south
ward from Louisville, and the mails for this
country will stop at Vicksburg instead of
gong to New Orleans and returning before
dehvery. In addition to this, the depart
ment has issued orders that the mails be
sent by steamers three times per week from
New Orleans to this city and all intervening
offices on Red river, and from this city to
New Orleans: These mails are to be sent
on any boat the pOstmasters at New Orleans
and this place may designate, and the ser
vice is to be paid for at the end of the trip
by the postmaster at the end Of the line.
We earnestly hope this arrangement NAV
result IN better mail facilities for this re-

The Boston Advertiser states that Massa-
ehusetts is paying $4,000 day for its foreign
paupers, while it receives from the "head
money" only about $4,000 year. 1t con-
siders the State, under present laws, vast
insurance company against alien pauperism,
which is receiving premiums amounting to
$87 a day, and paying $1,000 a day in losses.
From 1854 to 1872 says the Advertiser, the
@head money" collected has been about
100000, the sum paid from the State treas
ury for foreign paupers has been about
$4,000 the additional sum paid by the
cities and towns for foreign paupers has
been at least 81, 100000, and the cost of the
foreign criminal class has been at least
$4,000 600 more, making total of 81, 900, 000
which the people of the State have been
taxed to pay, while they have only received
from immigrants themselves about six per
cent of that sum.
