The SOUTHERN ORPHAN RELIEF ASso-
CITATION FAIR IN BALTIaoRE.-The lady
managers OF the fair to be opened at the
Maryland Institute Hall on Monday next
for the purpose Of raising funds to build
an orphan asylum in Richmond are busily
engaged in pcrtecting their arrangements.
1t is gratifying to know that donations arc
being daily received, and that some OF
them are y quite a substantial character.
This Association, it should be borne in
mind, is separate and distinct organiza-
tion from the Mary Southern Relief
Association, whose have been here

The lady managers Of the latter Asso-
citation, it is understood, whilst desirous OF
aiding in every possible way the Orphans
Association, have also projects Of their
own on foot looking to the further reliefoi
the needy and suffering women and chill
dren. The ladies of both Associations
merit all praise, and have the best wishes
of all parties not entirely void Of feeling
for their success. That success will crown
their efforts there can be little doubt, for
when the women of Baltimore and of the
State generally put their hearts and hands
TO good work "there is no such word as

THE CASE or YoUNG BRITTINGHAM.-
Mr. w. +. Brittingham, who was released
from confinement in the penitentiary on
Wednesday. and turned over to the Mayor
under a writ of haJcas corpus issued by
Judge Lyons, was brought before the
Mayor yesterday, and his cause heard.
General Wise, counsel for the defendant,
argued the case for some moments. He
contcuded that according to the finding Of
the military commission the accused was
not guilty of the charge Of homicide. In
the succification Of the charge it was put
forth that the accused did, on such day,
feloniously, uulawfully, and with malice
aforethought, shoot negro man. The
court could only agree that he was guilty
Of the specification in all except the words
fcloniorsly, unlawfully, and with malice
aforcttoucht. And upon this finding he
was sentenced to be punished as COM
mon fclon. lie continued to argue, and
concluded by asking the discharge Of his
client, putting forth that, in addition to the
Injustice that had been done him, there
was danger in his being sent to Elizabeth
City county.
His Honor said that in what he was about
to do with the case he would have no re-
ference to the condition Of another county.
He would act in this as he would in any
other where q man was brought before him
on suspicion. There was nothing in the
case to prove the young man guilty OF any
charge. He had examined the record, and
could find no evidence there. Had there
been any, Judge Lyons would never have
sent the case to him. He had no power TO
send him to another county, and he would
therefore discharge him.


Young Brttingham was then released,
and, thanks to the restoration of civil law,
is now where military commissions and
such like despotic institutions cannot
reach him.

CIvILIzATIoN-Th San Francisco corr

gives the following picture of progress on the
Pacific shore:


J. Walter Walsh was arrested yesterday
upon a complaint issued at the request of Mr.

dancing masters, charging him with libel
He was released on giving bail and promises
to rebut the complaint by proving that what
is charged to be libelOus is really nothing

Walsh did tell nothing but the naked truth,
but whether he will be able to prove it or
not is quite another matter The dancing
establishment referred to is situated on the
corner of Market and Second streets, and
Walsh called it free.love temple, and said
it was nothing but a rendezvous for married
women, and single ones, also inclined to
adulterous indulgence, and young men who
were willing to be of assistance to them in
the matter. know enough about these
public dancing schools here to be perfectly
satisfied that the most of that charge will
apply to all Of them. 1t is a shorter step
from San Francisco dancing school to the
assignation house than it is from the sublime
to the ridiculous-a considerably shorter
step. The oldest Of these establishments is
famous as place where scores OF young girls
have gone astray, and where the usual order
of thingsis reversed, and it is accepted ettir
quette for married women to freely make ad
vances to young men which ordinarily come
from the other direction in fear and tremb,
ling, and accompanied by visions of double
Ibarreled shot>guns and irate husbands.

It was wise law Of the ancient Jews

every young man should have sufficient
knowledge to properlynanagc his own

brought to the administration of the Office TO

found consultative policy was not adapted
to that part of the people who had returned

favored the reassembling of the Convention

admission of Louisiana Representatives. in
