National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-10-19
TUESDAY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 10. 1876.

A SPECIAL from jackson, Mississippi,
says that at a banquet in that city day or
two since, attended by prominent Southern
Republicans, the most signifcauttoast was :
"The political unity of the South" 1t
was responded to by the assertion that the
Southern States still retain an important
power in the affiirs of the nation, which
should be unitedly expressed in the next
National Republican convention. These
sentiments, which do honor to the foresight
of Southern Republicans, have repeatedly
been enforced in these columns, and we are
gratifed to know that they were unani-
mously and enthusiastically approved upon
the occasion referred to, and that it was re-
solved TO take immediate measures to carry
them into effect.

a White Man Tried for Marrying a
COlOred Woman
[Fron the Courier Journa

lc tuc NOuT1eT journal
There is law in Indiana prohibit
ing the intermarriage of white and col
ored persons, under penalty of impris-
onment in the State penitentiary for
not less than one year nor more than
ten years, and fine of not less than
81 900 nor more than $1,000. Another
section of the penal code makes it the
same crime with the same punishment,
for any person to aid or abet in the
commission of the act. Some weeks
since, German named John Angel
Miller, residing in Mooresfell, Floyd
county, Indiana, was married to
a negro woman named Mary Sims.
Rev. Jesse Bass, pastor of the Bethel
Baptist Church, the leading coIored
church of New Albany. License was
issued to the parties by the Clarke
County Clerk, it is not stated on what
representations.
Yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury
of Floyd county found true bill for
the crime named against Miller and
Bass. The Sheriff and Chief of Police
went out to Mooresville and found Mil
Ter at his home, in the company with
his wife, and placed him under arrest.
The woman was much alarmed, and
bt gged the officer not to take her hus-
band away from her. Miller was then
brought into New Albany and placed
in the county jail. At the instance of
the prosecuting attorney, Judge Smith
fixed Miller's bail at 81, 500, which
being unable to give. he was still in
Jail at late hour last night.
Afterwards the Rev Mr. Bass was ar
rested on the;street by the Deputy Sher-
was made $500. which he had not OBJ
tanned up to o'clock last night.

LONDON, July 28.-Freeman won
the Goodwood stakes.
In the House of Commons this
evening Sir Charles A lderly, presi-
dent of the board of trade, introduced
bill to empower the board of trade
to prevent nnseaworthy vessels from
sailing. In presenting the measure
he stated that Plimsoll's bill was not
acceptable to the government, be-
cause it was based on wrong princi-
Piles. Here he was interrupted by
cries of No. Continuing his remarks
he said the bill also was Objectionable
because besides Furnishing offenders
it actually takes upon itself
the conduct of marine service.
The Act of 1872, already empowers
the Government to stop unsea-
worthy ships, and since then
958 vessels had been stopped of which
515 were found to be unseaworthy
The present bill was intended to
strengthen the executive facilities of
more rapid and direct action, and to
provide sufficient number of officers
to effectually detain unseaworthy ships.
1t also allows fourth part of the crew
to demand a survey. Finally it was
merely an earnest of fuller legislation,
of the next session. Mr.. SULLIVAN
thought the load line provision fo
storing grain should be engrafted in
the bill. Mr.. Roebuck denied that the
bill would satisfy the country. He so
continuing the consideration
of Plimisoll's bill, that various other

suring the bill, while wishing to ex-
tricate the Government from its diff
Guilty. Finally the bill passed its first
and the second reading was
fixed for Friday morning.

the melancholy distinction of being the
last Lord Chief Justice of England,
The jurisdiction of the Court, it is true,
is preserved by the Judicature act. and
is vested in division of the High
Court of Judicature. And its peculiar
jurisdiction is vested in that division
exclusively. But as that great court,
which has existed ever since the con-
quest as a distinct and separate
tribunal, with that high and lofty jn-
risdiction which could originally only
be exercised b. the King in person,
and was SO exercised ever since the
time of Alfred, as that great court of
the King. Inferior only to Parliament

has closed. 1t has, however, great

Love at Home.

There is beauty all around,
When there's love at home,
There is joy in every sound,
When there's love at home.
Peace aud plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on every side,
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there's love at home.
In the cottage there is joy,
When there's love at home;
Hate and envy ne'er annoy,
When there's love at home.
Roses blossom meath our feet,
All the earth's a garden sweet,
Making life bliss complete,
When there's love at home.
Kindly heaven smiles above,
When there's love at home;
All the earth is filled with love,
When there's love at home.
Sweeter sings the broOkleG by,
Brighter beams the azure sky;
Oh. there's One who smiles Oh high
When there's love at home.
Jesus, show thy mercy mine,
Then there's love at home;
SWeetly whisper, l am thine,
Then there's love ac home.

Can dispel the gloom of night;

STATE NEWS.

The Ashville Pioneer says: Solon
Robinson, the venerable and venerated
author of "Hot Corn" and for many
years agricultural editor of the New
York Tribune, arrived here on Satur-
day, and stopped at the Bank Hotel.
He is charmed with our country, and
thinks it will ultimately become the
great sheep growing and cattle rails
ing section IF this country. An opln-
ion like this, from one who has travelled
over every State in the Union investi-
eating it's agricultural resources, will
do more to recommend it to the favor
of capitalists and immigrants than all
the newspaper articles that have ever
been written in its praise. 1t Is truly
a blast from the bugle Of Roderick
Dhu.
The Greenville Register says: A few
days ago We were Ill the country as
far as Farmville by the wav of Marlbo-
10. AS far as can be judged by an out
side looking over the fence. Pitt county
never had fairer prospect for large
corn and cotton yield. A great many
of the farmers have laid by their corn
and have turned their attention to
their cotton. We learn the wheat crop
was very good this year, and we hope
our farmers will plant more corn and
wheat and buy less flour aud pork, when
this is done our country will be pros
porous.
Says the the Grenville RegiStsr con-
cerning the crop prospects in Pitt
county: "a few days ago we were in
the country as far as Farmville by
the way of Marlboro. As far as can be
judged by an outsider looking over the
fence, Pitt county never had fuirer
prospect for large corn and cotton
yield. A great many of the farmers
have laid by their corn and have turn
ed their attention to their cotton. We
learn the wheat crop was very good
this year, and we hope our farmers will
plant more corn and wheat and buy
less -four and polk; when this is done
our country will be prosperous"
Says the Alamance Cleaner {:
''Throughout the county, where we
were last week, there are the finest
crops Wheat was everywhere good,
so were oats and If the seasons hold
out there will be more corn made
than for years. All this is highly en-
couraging and gratifying. Good
crops and a good constitution Co
nomlcal in its provisions, and suited
to the wants of our people, would be
a combination of blessings in one year
for which we should all acknowledge
our thankfulness."
Judge Pearson, of the Supreme Court,
on Monday says the Nea0s rendered an
opinion which is interesting under
certain circumstances. In this case
the parties having made contract of
marriage, and on the day previous to
marriage the woman executed q deed
OF gift of her real estate to the value
of $4,000 to her step-mother, without
the knowledge of the man. After the
marriage the husband sues for the re-
covery of the land back to the wife
upon the ground of frand. The court
held that the deed was fraudulent, in
tended to deceive man, and the step
mother is ordered to convey back the
land to the wife. The young men of
the present age will be governed by
this decision.

a Good Law

Our sister city, Raleigh. has recently
enacted law by which persons are
fined who treat numerically, or other
wise maltreat any horse, mule, OK or
any animal within the corporate limits.
Men have no right to msltreat the
dumb creatures which God has given
them for pleasure, convenience or use,
and especially SO during this heated
term. We would like to see just such
a law rigidly enforced in our own city
by the sea-
