a NEGRO ABDUCTs A WHITE GIRL
Superintendent WalliDg yesterday morning
received dispatch from the police author
tiles OF Kingston, n. Y. informing him that
a cOlored man, named w .lliam III. Lake, had
left there on Monday, taking with him a
white girl, fourteen years of age, wnOm he
had induced, either by threats or persuasion
TO accompany him. The matter was placed
in the hands of the Central Office detectives
who on inquiry learned from the conductor
of the train on board of which it was sup
posed the fugItives would take passage, that
negro answering to the description of the
abductor got on board the milk train. at
Dobbs Ferry alone, and left the train at
GOnkerS. The conductor OF the Harlem train
which arrived at the Grand Central Depot at
10 o'clock last night, informed the police that
a colored man. in company with a young
girl closely yelled, got OFF his train at Tarry-
town, and 1t was probable that they took the
milk train at Tarrytown for the 30th- street
depot. IL Is considered very probable that
The abducted and his victim are in this city,
and the police are making an active search
for them.-IN. Y. Times 18th

couRTs OF CANCELLATION.

Aletter from California to the Balti-
more Sun In reference to the Courts OF
Consolidation to which the writer says
settle large per ceutaee of the legal
business in Paris: Ia Z, NJ ~
For Courts of Cancellation Judges are
appointed FOR life. They are selected
from the class OF retired business men OF
matured age and experience, and es-
peciaffy from persons OF even temper
and conciliatory manners. Lawyers are
excluded, because litigation and not con-
ciliation has been their way OF life.
Professed politicians and sectarians,
being one-sided and impatient by we'll
nursed prejudices, are not acceptable.
One Judge sits alone at each court He
keeps book Of verbal contracts and
| record OF all decisions. The latter are
legal judgements. The former saves
cost of written agreements when pre-
ferred. 1t is usual for two parties to
state the terms, which the judge notes.
Often when differences arise the Judge
interprets and official process is avoided.
On trial no one but the parties inter
ested can appear. Each party tells his
story alone. No oath is administered.
As a general thing the Judge quickly
discovers who is off the track. That
person is called from the ante and
| counseled to settle the matter. he
usually says, Well you please settle it
for me. Then the other party is called.
The judge kindly advises that some con-
cession is always better than quarellng,
&c. If your neighbor is willing to yield
and make friends, can you refuse &c.
Judge, don't want to be unreason-
able. l want it settled as much as he.
How do you propose?" Like oil on
trou bled waters, angry passion being
stilled by the magic of gentleness, both
parties agree, express Joy that 1t Is all
over, shake hands, and all is peace and
fraternity as of yore. Two enemies have
impressed with the folly of quarrel
among neighbors, and the blessings OF
courts of Cancellation.
1t is proposed in San Francisco, land
why not in Baltimore y to establish
courts of this character, to abate the
costly nuisance of courts of justice as at
present administered.
1t would be difficult to conjure up a
single objection, while score Of undeni-
able advantages present themselves to
every thoughtful investigator.
Official reports show that not one case
| in fifty is ever appealed from the Judge
ment of such courts, and 80 admirable is
their justice, that courts of law very sell
lawyers is intended as derogating from
| the reputation of their class
| On the contrary We proclaim that law
yers and doctors are of all classes mos
conscientiously devoted to the interest
\ of their clients. But it would be expect
ing too much of human weakness, thai
lawyers, doctors and ministers shoult
favor any system that would abolish lit
igation and disease. Even the extin
guishment of Satan and inauguratlng thu
reign of universal goodness; dispensint
with priesthood, would not be kindl.
greeted by those whose interest it oppo
ses.
The latter clause contains a fair que
tion for the Young Mems Christian Asso
Citations to discuss.

The people of this country have not
yet fully realized the fact that the votes
Of the negroes of the South have been
made use of by the Republicans to
govern the entire nation. By the use Of
government troops and the appointment
Of U. S. Marshals and secret detectives,
the Southern States have been carried
by Grant and his eo-laborers in corrup-
ton and fraud for the last seven or eight
years. During all this time a greater
amount of fraud has been committed,
and the States and the government rob-
bed and plundered than was ever heard
or dreamed of in the Republic. The
same process is to be tried for carrying
the Southern States again, and we do
hope that the people will rise in their
might and resist any troops that Grant
may send, if they should attempt to in.
terfere with the elections. 1t is time
that this oppression was stopped. By il
the people Of the north are made to pay
burdensome tax to keep in power over
100000 oficeholders, whose salaries are
fully 100 per cent. higher than the wages
of the working men and mechanics
while they do not perform half duty, OF
work more than five or six hours day
while the working people labor ter
hours. The latter have also the risk oi
losing their pay, from the various con
tingencies inseparable from trade.
The thieves and robbers at Washing
ton are turning the Republic into an in
strument for their personal aggrandize
nent. Cabinet officers and many of the
Senators are believed to have beer
guilty of practices which are little lesi
than robbery.
