John b. Syphax is colored politi
clan, hailing from Virginia. He told
the Senate exodus committee the Other
day that he would appear on Thursday
and charge Senator Window, who is a
member of the coiumittee, with origina,
ting the negro movement towards the
West. He appeared, and so did a crowd
OF spectators. The only thing he could
find to base his charge on was WINDOWS
resolution introduced year ago, pro
posing committee to consider the plan
of settiug off a territory for colored
men who wished to emigrate from any
State where they were not allowed their
rights. When Syphax got through
Senator Voorhees, declined to question
him, and turned him over TO Window,
who asked abruptly: "Have you got
a lunatic asylum in Virginia ?" "Yes,"
said the witness. "Tben how did you
ever escape from III" The crowd
laughed and the negro's accusations
fell fiat.

ings on the charge of murder, lectured
this evening. He wants to raise mon
ey to defray the cost OF his defence.
His lecture was attended by small au.
dience, owing to the storm. Mr.. Hayden
was introduced by one of his counsel,
Mr.. Jones. His Appearances unchang-
ed, except that his face has lostits care
worn expression. The subject was
"Circumstantial Evidence"
He cited several cases Of conviction
upon circumstantia evidence, where
death or imprisonment had followed,
ard where the facts hao eventually
come to light. He referred to the Chas-
tine Cox case in New York and read an
editorial printed on the day following
the reporters discovery of Cox in BIS
ton. lie characterized circumstantial
evidence a. resembling an anaconda
tightening its folds upon victim so
plausibly than it seems safe to rely
upon to send man to the gallOws. In
protesting against too great reliance
upon circumstantial evidence, he said
that because of IT he had been SO near
the grave that he could almost feel the
icy touch of death. On this account, he
felt that he owed a duty to the men and
women of the country to present the
danger in its true light.

Baltimore, has eloped with Benjamin
NJ. Payne, a wood and coal dealer of
Annapolis, though formerly engaged
in business at Williamspoyt, Pa. Mr..

pities the man rather than blames him
for the act, but expresses condeinna-
ton of his wife, and says he will never
receive her into his household again.
Proceedings are being instituted against
Payne by his creditors, no less than
fifty persons having already attached
moneys in the hands of those indebted
to him. Payne left about $4,000 of

Effects OF Mans Misd emea0ors.

Two cases of drunkenness were sum
marily disposed of at the police cour
last evening.
At the hearings this morning color
ed man named Crocus was arraigHsC
for disorderly conduct. While Officer
Jones was passing along Seventh street
last evening his attention was attracted
by a man asking him to lock the delin.
quent up, as he had come to his house
and kicked the door and drew a razor.
The officer heard Crocus swearing, and
found a razor case on his person. The
prisoner was fined 81 and costs,
James O'Donnell applied at the city
Lall last night for lodging, and as he
was very drunk he was looked up and
fined fifty cents and costs.
Joseph Armstrong was arrested in
the neighborhood Of Front street in an
intoxicated condition last evening.
When arrested he laid down on the
sidewalk, and push cart was procured
and the luckless man was deposited
therein, but hs proved very trouble
some. A gentleman endeavoring to
hold him in it recsvod kick beneath
the chin. The prisoner was then tied
and another man tried to hold him but
his efforts were rewarded by kick in
the breast. The officer clubbed the Of
fender considerably upon the legs be-
fore he became quiet. He was fined
two dollars and costs.
A boy named James Hannah was
charged with stealing what is known
as a fish plate from the p, W. & b. R.
R. Co. The article weighs twenty two
pounds and similar articles are indis-
criminately strewn along the road. The
company possess an immense number
of them, and when they are stolen they
are scarcely missed. The one in par
ticular was offered by Hannah for sale
at a junk shop kept by Joseph Miller
as old iron. Miller had refused to buy
it and called an officers attention to
the matter. The officer saw three men
in an alley in that ueighborhood, but
as he approached two of them left. The
third enc proved to be Hannah, and
the iron was found in the alley he had
Just vacated. Hannah was arrested
and the junk dealer said it was the iron
brought to him by that individual.
The prisoner was held in 5000 bail for
Court.
James chatham, for being drunk and
lying upon the sidewalk at Fifth and
Tatnall streets was fined iifty cents aud
costs.

A Testator,s Wishes Defeated

Nicholas Meirs, of Pittsburg, possess.
ed Of large means, died last week, and
it was found when his will was register.
ed that after leaving his son $40 and
making small provision forsome friends,
that the balance of his property was to
be- divided between Catholic church
and number of charitable institutions.
The law of the State requires that
where q testator wishes to bequeath pro.
perty to charity or religion that the
will must be made thirty days before
death. Mr.. Meirs died nine days after
his will was made, and his son, as next
of kin, gets his share of the property.
