to the case OF WinSlow, reached the Foreign

1t is certain that the Government will not
again ask for Winslow'S remand unless it be
decided to have the whole matter argued
before full bench, OF which there is some
probability. Failing in this, Winslow on

An OHIO CONVICT FALLS HEIR TO SEVENTY
THOUSAND DoLLARs.-[From the Toledo
Commercial -There arc instances recorded
OF men in affliction being killed with sudden
delight at happy reverse OF fortune, while
time-worn proverb sententiously lays it
down that "joy never kills." 1t is very
likely that were great Joy attended by any
such disastrous effect, Richard " Lawrence"
4 man now confined in the county Jail await
ing sentence for the commission OF the
Young burglary, would ere this have met
his Maker. On Saturday morning he re-
ceived through his attorney letter from his
sister apprSing him OF the fact that he is
entitled to an amount somewhat in access OF
100000, being 1-24th share OF the great
Jennings estate in England.
This property has been in litigation for
several years, and some time ago the cele-
brated lawyer, Judah P. Benjamin, former
Iy Secretary Of State in the Confederate Cab
met, went over to England in the interest
of the American heirs. The case just been
decided in their favor, and one OF the heirs,
an aunt OF the prisoner, living i'll Paris, has
already, the letter states, received her owl
dcnd.
Lawrence, whose name, by the by, Ii not
Lawrence, is Il scion OF good Kentucky
stock-in younger days was veritable blue
grass "blood." His father is a prominent
lawyer of that State; one OF his brothers a
well-known editor: and the remainder OF
the family emincntly respectable people
Richard was the "bad boy "a fast young
man at first, then Il hard case, and finally, in
downward succession, criminal. He is Il
large, good-looking man, and is known
among his fellows as Big Dick, his real name
being in possession of no one in this city
except himself and his attorney. The cir
cllmstanccs OF his recent trial are well
known. His supposed companion in the
Young robbery had been acquitted OF the
charge. and there was Il fair prospect that he
also would be released. lie became fearful
OF conviction, however, and in the hope OF
securing mitigation OF sentence, pleaded
guilty, contrary to the urgent advice OF his
attorney, who was confident OF success.
What the penalty may be none can tell.
1t is pretty hard on a man, after leading
an impecunous life for years, to be commit
ted to the penitentiary for a considerable
term Just as he comes into Il fortune. I'm
earned fortunes sometimes prove mems
ruin, and Mark Twain says ii such is the
case he wants to be ruined that way. 1t is
unlikely, however, that "Big Dick will
reach lower stage Of ruination than he has
already attained, and highly probable that
when he again trcads the earth free man
his progress, under fortunes smiles, will
take quite another direction.

THE WRONG MAN IN THE WRONG SEAT
Especial dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette. ]
Washington, June 9.-Yesterday Mr.. Lam
ders, Of Indiana, occupied the seat OF the
colored member from Alabama, Jere Haral-
son, during which time couple Of ladies
in the members gallery were intently en-
gagged in studying diagram of the MEM
bers' seats and looking for the location OF
prominent members. HARRISON il put down
as OF some consequence, having once been
slave, and on finding his seat one OF the
ladies was surprised to think that so white
a man could have ever been in bondage,
and remarked: "That was one OF the evils
OF the defunct institutions" The other
lady, levelling her glasses upon Landers, re-
versation having been reported to Mr.. Lam
ders he has taken an oath never again to
occupy the seat of colored member.
