negroes seem to be snkin into Il barbarism as
heathenish and degraded as that Of their African
ancestors. Near Brown Marsh, a station on the
Carolina Central Railway, about forty miles from
Wilmington, lives colored woman named Te-
ma, who is worshipped 10y the negroes of the
neighoorhood as if she were deity. Her sane
tuary is rude log cabin, in which she sits in
Turkish tas hion, while her followers are pros
traie on the floor. Occasionally she steps or the
worshippers in order ''to mash out their sins ="
She INDUCES in very ungodlke language, and
is much feared. Tena is an ordinary looking
woman about fifty years of age, and was for

WARDEN TRACY'5 BILL CONTESTED ON THE GROUND
OF FRAUDULENT AND ExTRAvAGANT CHARGES.
Warden Tracy Of LudlOw-st. Jail applied
TO Judge Brady yesterday through his counsel stephen
Fullerton, for o mandamus to compel the County
Auditor, Mr.. Earle, to audit and the Controller to pay
his bill for 1870 for supplies TO prisoners Last Winter
the Legislature passed law providing for the raising
OF funds for the payment OF all such claims as
this, aud on the recent determination of the
General Term, that the decision OF the Super
yisors IN regard to o bill final, the Finance
authorities paid portion OF the b-sl O0O-which sum
remained in their hands from the appropriation on the
order of Judge Fancher Those interested In this ques

troller to show why the remainder OF the bill
should not be paid Mr. Carter appearing in tho laters

week which was for board and other privileges The
number OF prisoners confined in the County Jail unable
to pay their board Ia very small. All the FOOD
charged In the bill was reduced TO pounds
and compared with the United States navy rations.
when 1t was found that the Warden charges enough
to support prisoners Again, the auditing by the
Board OF Supervisors made on the affidavits OF
Tracy that tho supplies wero all furnished at
reasonable prices.
Mr.. Carter also claimed that they had established

POWERS OF THE DOCK COMMISSION.

Some time ago, Judge 1ngraham gave an
elaborate opinion in the Of The People against
the proprietors Of the Galveston Line Of Steamers,
Mallory g. Co., sustaining the power OF the Dock
Commissioners to authorize the erection OF Q
shed by the defendants on the pier used by
them. The was brought up. on appeal
before the General Term OF the Supreme Court
Judge Brady reversed tho decision saying that the acts
Of the Legislature conferred upon the Commission only
such powers as were previously possessed by the Cor
poration and were not intended to legaze what was
forbidden and against any judgments OF courts which
were Oh record. The mischief OF allowing Department
to ncumber the public highway street should not be
allowed sanctioned unless especially conferred and
the of it must DO for purposes OF navigation and
commerce only and subject to the right OF the people to
use surface pubic street highway. But none
OF the acts relied upon by the Commissioners convey
power authorize erection OF membranes ike
that intended by the defendants upon wharf or pier,
and therefore the decision SPECIAL Term must be- re-
yersed William Allan Butler appeared for tue people

taliated by throwing some water on Staples, who I'M
mediatey cinched hn, and scudie ensued, in which
stabbed him. and he died from the effects OF
the wound III about week.
Charles Padden and Andrews Clifford, sailors sup
ported the theory Of prosecution by testimony and
Mr. Purdy read the deposiuon OF several OF the of
the Helen Angler, which. with that of surgeon TO the
effect that staples died from the effects Of wound in
the stomach closed the evidence Mr.. Purdy then, of
his own accord Stapes's dying declaration that he
did not blame Warren for stabbing him, and that he
himself was the only one TO blame Mr. Russell offered
no evidence for the defense. and said that the
case was. according to the prosecutions own show
Ing 40 plain one OF sefdeense that he did not desire

TO the Jury in which he claimed that the evidence ad

He did not" said Mr. Purdy. "atempt to retreat from
Staples as he should done before stabDing him
