manslaughter in causing the death OF Pat
rick Bennett on the 18th of November last by

From the evidence offered by the prosecution
IL appeared that the accused had taken a pig
TAIL rom a colored man aud that, some dispute
occurring over Ii, Mahoney caught hold OF BEN

tense represented Bennett as the aggressor.

The defendant took the stand, and testified
that he had always been friendly with the Ben
netts; that on the day of the occurrence he had
peen drinking; that when the quarrel arose
Sennett pressed him against the fence. SO
nicted the blow at all IL must have been with
his knee. Witness went TO see Bennett when
he heard that he was hurt, and Bennett stated
that he thought he had been poisoned.
This closed the testimony OF defence and the
government called IS witnesses in rebuttal the
BROTHERS OF deceased, Mr.. McArdle and Others.
The case was argued and at l:3o clock Judge

Question.
The following letter explains ITSELF
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. II, 1856.
Mr.. John H. Brooks:
Dear Sir: You ask If I am correctly represent
ed before a committee of Congress by the Com
ing that the Office of superintendent Of colored
schools be abolished and merged into that OF
the superintendent of the white schools i an
swer that am not correctly represented. In a
minutes conversation with Commissioner Ed
making one superintendent over all the schools,
l said thought that might tie a good arrange
ment, but IL was hasty expression on my part,
and not intended TO be used either publicly OF
privately, and when asked if / would Write a
letter to the Commissioners recommending the
so-partly because I did not feel that I had
given sufficient consideration to the subject 70
give an Intelligent opinion in respect thereto.
My general views of the desirableness OF doing
away with all class distinctions, on account OF
race and color, are we'll known TO you aud 10
the public generally. am for mixed schools,
mixed teachers and for mixing. IL such a word
is admissible, i'm all that concerns a common
country, common liberty, common citizenship,
and q common civilization. But whether IL is
better at this time to have one or two superin-
tendents of public schools is question upon
which I have authorized no one TO represent
me either TO Congress or to the public.
Always truly yours, FREpk. DOUGLASS.

The Knights of Labor of Pittsburg will
shortly establish an employment bureau for
union workmen. Nothing of this kind has

its success is assured, even before it has

positions, and at the same time will keep
listed all mills or employers employing union
men.
The boycott against the PIttsburg Evening
Leader and Sunday Leader, which was begun

So. The house then went {, into
committee of the whole ON the
postofiiee appropriation bill. Mr..
Blount explained the bill. and
the committee rose. Mr.. Blount's motion
to limit debate to six hours was carried.
The committee resumed its session. Mr..
Burrows criticised the postmaster general
for refusing to pay postal clerks SS1, 900, ap-
proprlated for them, and also for refusing
TO execute the will of congress in paying
American ships 1915, 900 for mail services.
He had not only nullified the law touching
the postal service, but, with uncommon
effrontry, defied not only the spirit but the
letter of the civil service law. From the
beginning of his administration to this
hour the head of the postoffice department
had sought every opportunity not how he
might execute the law. but how he might
defy it, He said the people were sick of
the boasts of civil service principles by
Democrats. Their methods were neither
honorable nor manly. This Democratic
reform administration would have to an
swer for It's Justification of citizens at the
bar OF public opinion, where it would re-
ceive swift and merited condemnation.
Applause on the Republican side. The
committee then arose and the house adj
jOurned.
