Michael Scott, a thick Tipped retreat
ing browed son of Ham, untinctured by
the faintest trace Of white blood, who
killed Cotton on the boat last summer.
and who was found guilty by the jury
a week or more ago Of murder in the
second degree, came up for sentence
yesterday. No one would accuse him,
from his looks, as he stood there be
fore them, of being second Fred
Douglass, and yet that poor negro,
when the formal question was asked,
whether the prisoner at the bar had any
thing to say why judgment should not
be passed on him, pleaded with such
eloquence as to knock two years off his
sentence. He commenced his adore s
with eff Your Honor please, and went
on III ready, eloquent manner to de
fend himself, maintaining with no small
degree of fairness that he had given
the fatal blow only after repeat
ed insults and assaults by the
deceased, and that there was no one on
the boav that really knew what amount of
provocation he had had. He finished
by saying: 81 know of no law that com
pels men to sacrifie their lives for an

that on the pages of sacred history.

Judge Wilson then stated that it was his
to sentence him for term of
fifteen years, but that he would in view
OF the facts as set forth by him, reduce
the time to thirteen years, and that If,
after a reasonable time, the officers of
the Penitentiary gave favorable re-
port of his conduct, he would take steps
with Wow to his pardon.

1t is said that all practical difficulties
have .been.removed. The carriages, OF
course, labor under the very slightest

say. they mustgo on rails Also they
should be as light as possible, and cars

suspect that my moods IF outpouring

Der her saying more than once some
thing like this: / was saying that it

she, "You and Frank and Theodore
are all going to die. First Tilton is 60
ing to die, and then Frank comes home
and he is going to die, and then you
come in and say you are going to die,
but l notice you all like to live well
enough" and little things like that
which, when persons are testing back
and forward, don't amount to anything,
when a man has been pouring out very
strongly his sentiments, and woman
cody, or rather sharply, takes him up
fhesitating a moment)-it don't feel
good. Sensation and laughter. E.
The publication of the tripartite
agreement is then explained: how wit

stop it, and then up to Sam. Wilkeson's,
who was the man who was going to pub

midnight He woke Sam up and told
him what he come for. Sam got up in
his red night-shirt, right up in bed, sat
in the middle of the bed and swore until
everything was blue in the room and
told them to go about their business.

derstood what he was about and didn't

OF Immigration Agent in this district. The in

to town At irregular lnterga q, and can mover be
found. HIS assistant might as we'll have no
Office, for any benefit the people derive from it.
He ia ueyer there. Nobody knows where he is
to be found. There is d pleasing fiction to the
effect that the assistant passes great part of Lis
time at the depots receiving and caring for poor
and iguorant immigrants. II that il 80, it Is
angular so many immigrants are to
be met walking about asking. information.
No doubt somebody or other attends to
the incoming trains and steamboats,, but unless
greatly err, they ara no better than runners for
vas7ons boardipg-houses- It is perfectly shame
full to see the way thess immigrants are some
times hustled about by runners and expressmen,
apparently left to the mercy Of all the sw1ndlers
fthe city who care to fleece them. Let this
sinecurist rise and explain when and where he is
to be found and what he has been doing for his
monev. He is Reform officer. and ought to
