PnKJUDICE OF CASTE AND Colon

PnKJUOICE OF CAST Il AND COLON
The prejudice of caste in this coun-
try, notwithstanding the liberasity OF
our form OF government and laws,
has deep root among the Anne 'ican
people. 1t is in direct conflict with
our free institutions, but so proie is
human nature to indulge in it, that
narrow minds viii show it. This
balefnl characteristic of the mind is
generally the most uncomproni sing
with those who, by turn ia the
wheel of fortune obtain sudden wealth
or power, coming up from compara-
tive poverty and humble position in
life. Take the individual who has hsi
his birth in humble life in the South
among the "poor trash" as they used
to be termed, and let him come north
aud gain wealth and place, and often
you find b i'm with a never dying hate
for the co lored race. Take another
individual, who, born in the South, in
that grade OF society where he may
hare had tho privilege of drawing his
snstenance from the breast OF colored
woman as = nurse, and let him immi-
CRATE to the North, and often he vivid

Summaries Decisions-Trial, Convictions and
Sentences in the General Sessions.

The hearing of the case of George W. Bowen VS..
Nelson Chase was resumed yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court, before Judge Shipman and
the special jury. The examination OF Mr.. Chase
the defendant, occupied nearly the whole of the
day, and had not concluded when the Court rose
The testimony Of Mr.. Chase was mainly directed
TO showing the terms of intimacy upon which his
family were with Mr.. and Madame Jumel The
trial will be resumed to-day. .
Yesterday Judge Blatchford rendered decision
In the case Of William E. Brockway, bankrupt.
The discharge Of Brockway was opposed by q
creditor, on the ground that he did not keep
proper books of account, and that check book
which was shown to be his had the words on the
stubb, paid, 1851 49," the check being appa-
renty torn OFF at the stubb. Counsel for the
creditor urged that such q check was not shown TO
be part OF the check book. Judge Blatchford de-
cided to admit the check as having been torn from
the book.
Yesterday Thomas Donohoe was discharged on
his own recognizance by Commissioner Shields, to
answer charge of having INSTRUCTED Deputy
Marshal Turney while making a seizure under
bankruptcy process in Westchester county,
The oldsuit OF William Hildebrand against Wm b.
Ogden was called up for trial yesterday before
Judge Van Brunt holding Supreme Court Circuit
but was dismissed, on the ground that the action
was not properly brought. The suit was brought
on an agreement to pay $4,000 in money. Plain
tirs counsel stated, in opening the case, that
former lawyer Of the plaintiff had been given bonds
In settlement OF the agreement, but returned them
subsequently to the plaintiff. Judge Van Brunt
held that this was q satisfaction of the agreement
and that to recover possession of the bonds the ac
ton must be brought in another form.
The long protracted trial or the People OF the
State of New York against william M. Tweed is
nearing close. Yesterday counsel for the defence
said they would net put further testimony in. Mr.
Field at the same time moved that all the secon-
dairy evidence put in, and previously objected to-
be struck out This the Court overruled. Mr.
Fullerton then proceeded with one branch of the
summing up TOR the defence. He was followed by
Mr.. Peckham, for the prosecution. To-day two
counsel will conclude the summing up-one on
each side; this will consume the day. Tomorrow
Judge Davis will charge the jury, and with that
body the result will then rest.
