THE DOG CAsE--The case (referred
to in our last issue) of Mr.. Jos. ]. Oar
lington, of Herndon, who sued out @
writ of prohibition to test the constitu'
tionality of the act authorizing the kill
ing of dogs suspected of sheep killing,
&C., was argued before Judge G.. p,
Nicol, at Manassas last week, who de-
cides the section OF the code unconsti-
tutional which authorizes Justice of
the peace to direct the killing of dog
without notice to its owner, upon COM
plant that it has worried or destroyed
sheep. The statute is held to conflict
with that part of the constitution of the
United States which declares that no
nerson shall be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process OF law.
The order is without costs to the de-
fendants, and without prejudice to the
right of the defendant Poole to take
such action as he may be advised is
proper to recover damages for any loss
or injury to his sheep attributable to
said dog Fairfax Herald.

The Floods.


NEW ORLEANS, April 16.-The rail
roads are elevating their tracks and
platforms have been built at depots.
The entire wharf front will probably
have to be rebuilt and raised. The
Louisiana line is still holding, though
rises of three inches and more day
are quite common. A much higher
river will wash over many of the banks
and in their present softened condition
they will be so badly soaked that it is
question of their ability to bear the
weight against them. There is now a
crevasse on each side of Bayou La
Fourche and the water is now running
off into swamp lands. 1t has reduced
the height of the bayou and if the
planters can hold the rest of the line
many valuable plantations will be
saved.

In THE speech Mr.. Vest made in the
q. s. Senate yesterday, on the Indian
appropriation bill, he said:
"He was brought up Protestant
and had no connection with the Roman
Catholic Church. He had been reared
to believe the Jesuites were opposed to
republican institutions. But he had
travelled through the Indian country,
visiting the schools, and had found
them a travesty on education, except
where conducted by the Jesuits. Broken
down preachers and defunct politicians
were sent to the western country to
teach the Indian children. He had
found that the only Indian schools
accomplishing any good were those
conducted by the Jesuits. II had con-
troll of these schools I would give
them to those who have studied the In
dams from the tepee, segregated them
from their fathers and mothers, and
taught them the religion ofChrist, even
if the cross is the emblem OF their re-
ligion. I would infinitely rather see
them Catholics than savages. do not
belong to that sect who would rather
see an Indian damned than see him Ill
the Catholic Church"

but it is good American civilization and

MORTALITY statistics show that
while consumption among the negroes
in the South was rare disease before
the war between the States, it has now
become a very common one, and In
proportion to population is vastly more
prevalent than it is among white peo-
pie. Freedom has not only greatly
increased consumption, but another in
durable disease among the negroes, and
both being hereditary, they will soon be
decimating that race.
