JUDGE BLACKS CASE.

Judge Jere s. Black has submitted to an
extended interview with staff correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press, In which Nc
takes occasion to make contribution 10
the history of the early days of the war, at
the close of Mr. Buchanan,s administra-
tion He himself has been persistehtiy
abused and accused of sympathy Win the
roh1lion not only in those early days. but
tbrouohout the conflict. He now shows
that he was not only in favor OF the Vlgor
Gus prosecutions of the war, by sendins
recruits to Major Anderson, at Fort
Sumpter but that he insisted upon the
| adoption of this policy, and threatened 10
leave the post of secretary OF state, Which
he held in Mr.. Buchanans cabinet
which he had taken after the res
ionation of General Cass, if his views
did not find ready adoption. Thus we
| find history rewritten even at this late day
Judge Black has lived patiently under the
odium which was placed upon him BY reck-
less men for purposes purely partisan.
/ Trusting to time and the truth OF history
for his vindication, and now with one
breath he blows down the cob-houses SO
carefully constructed by his enemies, ana
rehabilitates his own name so successfully
that no enemy, however bitterly partisan,
!, can truthfuIly saw that he had not misjudg-
ed him. It might, perhaps, have been
better If he had made this correction OF
received opinion during the life of Mr. Blu
, chanan and Mr. Stanton, but he has shown
characteristic modesty in any reference to
his own part in the administration OF Pres
! ident Buchanan, and the time for yindlcat
1 ing himself may safely be left to his discre
ton. His honesty and firmness OF purpose
have always been known to his friends; NJ

The question of a lady's age has always
been one that the ordinary man handles
with care. He would believe implicitly
az to her youthfulness, even when other
female companions gave different report
So these many years he has been duped
and imposed upon, until the law came TO
his aid, and in future females who tribe
with the truth regarding their ages VIII De
made to stand the consequences.
Some years ago the courts OF Pennsyi-
vania granted bill for divorce on the al
lepation of a man that he had been .deceFv-
ed and became husband through the "
ing and fraud of his wife. He charged that
she had lied about her age, verbally, and
by means of hair dye. false teeth, and the
iudicious use of more or less cotton Dat
ting, had made ner figure to become per
ambulating, snowy falsehood; and that ne
had been grossly deceived into matrlmony
thereby. This was a bold invasion OF long
established female rights Now, the Brit
ish courts have taken up the matter, and
Miss Mabel Wilberforce is to be prosecuted
for perjury, in swearing that she was born
in San Francisco in 1854, and was conse
quently 81 years old, whereas more thar
twenty-seven summers had cast their shad
ows upon her fair but elderly brow.
She may pass number OF seasons a
some fashionable prison.

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.

CORRESPONDENT of the Philadelphia
Bulletin writing from Carlsbad says; Ihe
Bohemian girl as she appears on her native
soil does not look as if she ever dreamt OF
marble halls. as did the girl of the late MI
Ra1fe's opera. She begins life swathed III
a stiff pillow to straighten and strengthen
her hack. Soon after she begins to walk
che takes lessons in bearing burdens on
this back, and by the time she reaches
womanhood can carry ten7gallon eask OF
water or a huge basket filled with firewood
or soiled clothes, up steep hill twenty on
thirty times without stopping to rest. Ad-
vancing in wears, she may be hltched Wlt1
a COW or big dog to pull market wagon
driven by her beloved and LOVING
husband IF she is very Sooa
wife she may be advanced TO the
dignity of being the off-horse, with ooS
for the near one, to haul a coai-caft 10 Il
customers door, and when she unhltches
herself she carries in pannler the rusty
loalyino coal of this country up one, two
or three pairs of stairs, while the man AM
doc ranose in the street. It is thus that
the native Bohemian girl often fulfflls hei
destiny in this historic and chivafric land
Woman is the drudge and the beast OF bur
den here, as in many other parts OF the
Continent. There are fine horses for driy
ing heavy vehicles, and there are donkey
that pull fat dowagers or lazy little boy
mn the hills. But there are no equestrian
displays. A riding horse is more rarei,
seen in Carlsbad than pretty Germai
woman, and yet there are scores OF cava
Tiers in cavalry uniforms and wearing spur
that ought to be pricking the sides OF tn
| hest blooded steers of the orient. Blu
| there is not much need of horses in coun
try where women are the laborers, and tn
| pleasure horse is an expensive luxury

The question of refusing two New YORK
senators admission to the United States
Senate on account of the intormality as wen
asillegality of their election, is attracting
general attention.
The New York San has this to say
concerning precedent for such refusal OF
admission:
John P. stockton of New Jersey. was
elected Senator of the United States from
the 4th of March, 1865. He took his seas
in the following December, at the first reg
ular session of the Thirty ninth Congress
A memorial was simultaneously presented
from the Republican minority OF the Leg
islature which had chosen him, protesting
against Mr.. Stockton's admission to the
Senate, upon the ground that he had not
received "a majority of the votes OF me
Joint meeting of the Legislature
This memorial was referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary
In the case of Mr. Stockton, the joint
convention rescinded then existing rule
recurring a majority to elect Senator by
substituting as follows: ANY candidate
receiving plurality of votes OF the mem
bers present shall be declared duly elected.
OF course, a majority made this change;
and as parties were closely balanced IL
passed by a single vote. After the first
ballot Mr. Stockton was declared TO DE
duly elected.
No objection of any kind was made
His opponents accepted their defeat - 81
lence. There was not the remotest sug
eestion of illegality or informality, inside
or outside the Legislature. After appoint
ing several State officers the joint meeting
rose. But Mr.. Stockton was Democrat
and that fact was then, as now, sin il
Republican eyes, for which there was NJ
political dissolution.
The memorial was reported back from
the Judiciary Committee. three months al
ter the reference unanimously, with th'
single exception of Mr.. Clark OF Nes
Hampshire. in favor of Mr.. Stockton
right to the seat. Mr.. Trumbull, then
Stalwart, made the report but he wa
more Judge than partisan, and this wa
a judicial question.
A sufficient number OF Republicans re
fused to 60 with the extremists, SO that III
Senate was almost equally divided ON Tn
question. When the vote was called o
the resolution of the Judiciary COMMITTEES
declaring Mr.. Stockton to have been dul
elected, it resulted 81 yeas and 20 nays

A Ladies' Silk Culture Association has
been established in San Francisco, on the
plan of an auxiliary to the one in Philadel-
phia. The Philadelphia Ledger, which has
given much study and cordial support to
the home association, expresses confidence
that soon the raising of cocoons will be en-
couraged by the establishment of mia
lures" or places where the winding OF the
fIaments from the cocoon may be taught.
The raising of silk works in California Is
entirely successful.

The subjoined statement shows how
protective tariff is draining this country;

Mr.. John Roach estimates that the TO-
tai amount paid annually to foreign ship
owners for carrying American products
abroad is $50, 600, 600. The amount paid
for passenger fares added to that spent by
Americans travelling in Europe he thinks
more than equals the surplus of trade in
our favor. If Mr.. Roach is correct, there
fore, we pay back to foreigners, in the
shape of freights, passengers fares, and
money spent by our people in Europe
many millions more than the account they
have to settle with US in balancing the
books of trade"

Such authority as the New York Graphic
makes the assertion that ''the split at Lynch
burg looks very much like the beginning
of the effacement of the republican party
in Virginia politics
The same split in the same party in New
York gives an impression that the efface-
ment of the republican party in national
politics is not far distant.

Sitting Bull is not taking kindly to life
on a reservation. if reports can be credited
It would not be surprising if he regained

nifty, and after his capture he is tenderly
cared for at a reservation.
