The readers of the REGISTER are
familiar with the case of SEABRIGHT, q
butcher of this city, who was indicted,
.ried, convicted and sentenced to fine
and imprisonment, for selling diseased
meat at The Centre Wheeling Market.
After judgement was pronounced
against him, 'SEABRIGHT had proceed
ings sta yed, and attempted to have the
supreme Conrt interfere in his behalf.
In this he failed, the Court thinking, as
We are advised, that there was no
ground for its interposition in his case.
His next recourse was tn the Governor
of the State, person named FOREMAN.
who was implored to exercise his intel
ligent clemency to arrest the course OF
Justice. The result shows how little
dependence is t. be placed in the judg-
ments of Conrts and juries.


On yesterday, the counsel of SEA-
BRIGHT announced that the Governor
had agreed to remit the Imprisonment
portion of SKABRIGHT's penalty, provid-
I'd the fines aud costs in the case were
paid. As the confinement in Jail was
the only portion of the sentence about
which the defendant was concerned,
the action of the Governor has virtually
permitted the party to 60 unpunished.


1t is not our purpose to question the
correctness Of Mr.. BOREMiN's course
He probably thought he was right or
he would not have interfered. Indeed,
he must have been certain he was right,
IS he did not think,it necessary to ask
the counsel for the State to present any
facts or arguments in behalf of the peo-
pie. Had he been at all in doubt, he
would, of course, have inquired what
the prosecution had to say in the mat
ter. His failure to do this argues the
hrmness of his own conviction, as well
as the uselessness of SEABRIGHr's con-
viction.


Without doubling the propriety of
his action, We beg to suggest that our
Legislature make some provision for
referring criminal cases directly to his
Excellency, without the intermediate
folly Of trial by jury. Such trial,
together with an appeal to the Supreme
Court, seems to be but a preliminary
and unnecessary part of the process, the
Governors pardon being the usual con-
clusion. 1t would save time and trouble

IL is announced that Sterling Price has
leil MsKiee, and Is now In the United
States. We are informed by a gentleman
who conyersed with him within the last
week, that he announced himself anxious
to return to Missouri, and desires to make
himself useful in assisting to restore har-
mony TO the people Of his own State.


Il is quite certain that no man could be
more useful or influential in Missouri than
General Price. Save in very limited
number of cases, he enjoys more thor
0ugh respect among all parties than any
other man in Missouri. By these excep-
dons We do not mean that there are
men who possess the respect of
both parties to greater extent :;
but that the cases of men who re-
tain their animosity toward him are limited
to a few senseless fanatics whose respect or
hatred is a matter ofno consequence to any
man.


Barring the religious element, Price was
in some sort Stonewall jackson. That
is, he fought uninfuenced by selfish con
siderations, and his victories and defeats
commanded the respect of his enemies, and
the confidence and love of his friends.


He could not do better than to return to
Missouri and give his efforts to pouring oil
upon the troubled waters Of that State.
The President has pardoned many a man
possessed of less claims to grace than Gen
Price; and we are sure that were the same
faVor extended TO him, it would contribute
materially toward the allaying Of animosi-
ties and the good of the country.


The Southern element needs with it all
such men as Price, in order to teach it how
to accept the inevitable, and to advise it at
thif time when more than ever il needed
coc ness, resignation, and wise adaptation
to lnyielding events.

RAISING CALVES By HANp.-A Cali

calves from one to two days old to as many
weeks, and taught them first to drink milk
warm from the cow. When they are used

better still, oil meal and stir we'll while

withheld at perhaps three weeks old, by

meal will do perhaps better than corn
Tea is the best substitute for milk, and
should be made from good sweet hay, and

The correspondent of the Argus who rath-
er rashly denied that the Supreme Court ever
declared that negroes In this country have mo
rights which white man is bound to re-
spect," finding the words actually occurring in
the opinion delivered by Chief Justice Taney
in the Dred Scott case, undertakes to affirm
now that this was merely Statement of the
manner in which the negro had been regard
ed for hundred years prior to the Declara
tion of Independence. The words we
quoted Saturday show that Judge Taney
spoke of the prevailing opinions sat the time
of the Declaration of independence" Here
is the reason assigned by the court for con-
sidering the state of public opinion at that
time: f~.A.''.2I


No one, we presume, supposes that any
change in public opinion or feeling, in rela-
tion to this unfortunate race, in the civilized
nations Of Europe or in this country, should
induce the court to give to the words of the
Constitution a more liberal constr uction in
their favor than they were intended to bear
when the instrument was formed and adopted.
Still more explicitly, IN another passage,
| Judge fancy says: .s7as


! We think they are not included and were
not intended TO to be included under the word
"citizens" in the Constitution, and can there
fore claim none of the rights and privileges
| which that instrument provide for and secures
to citizens of the United States. On the con-
trary, they were at that time considered as a
| subordinate and inferior class of beings, who
had been subjugated by the dominant race,
and achether emdncipdted or not get remain
| OR PRIVILEGES BUT SUCH AS THOSE WHO HELD
THE POWER AND THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT
| CHOOSE TO GRANT THEM.


This is a mere euphemism for the more
striking assertion that they had by law "no
rights which the white man was bound to re-
spect." On these express grounds the de-
cision was announced as follows: ..
Upon full and careful consideration of the
| subject, the court is of opinion, that upon the
facts stated in the plea of abatement, Dred
| Scott was not a citizen of Missouri within the
meaning of the Constitution of the United
States, and not entitled as such to SUE i'm its
courts.


The facts stated in the plea of abate-
ment are simply that the plaintiff
was negro, of African descent,
| and that his ancestors were of pure
African blood and were brought into this
country and sold as slaves. 1t was on these
grounds that the Supreme Court decided that
his complaint could not be entertained. Yet
the correspondent of the Argus who raised
this question declares that the decision of the
court has been msrepresented by the Press.
We advise him to read the opinion OF the
court. He will learn something about thls
really important case by so doing. by refer
ence to the Proverbs Of Solomon he may also
learn that pride goeth before destruction
and a naughty spirit before fall" His last
communication to the Argus was not printed

"On Tuesday last, while the wind was
