from that considered when your husband

to be incompetent as a witness for or

to the exclusion of all others, provided
the other passengers are furnished with
other cars with all necessary facilities
for traveling, would, he says, be to stab
social rights, privileges and immunities.
Therefore, my view of tho act is that
it was not intended to affect social rights
through civil rightsj; and, in conclusion,
the judge said that if it should be made
to appear that any inn keepers, manager
of a theatre or transportation, had refused
proper facilities to any one on account of

Washington, May 4.—Mr. Justice
Field’s dissent in No. 202—Mechanics
and Traders’ Bank vs. the Union Bank of
Louisiana—from the Louisiana Circuit
Court, in which tho opinion of the Court
was stated yesterday, is of such interest-
as to require notice.
In the opening he said, that, if the de-
cisioh had been placed on the ground that
the plaintiff bank owed money which it
was compelled to pay by decree of the
Provost Court, and therefore could not
retover it hack, however illegal the ac
tion of that tribunal, ha would have
made no objection to tho judgment; but
as that ground was passed, and not only
the legality of the establishment of the
Provost Court by the commanding gen
eral was affirmed, but the constitutional
validity of the jurisdiction in civil cases
also, he could find no warrant for
the doctrine thus asserted in tho action
of tho Government during the war or in
the decisions of this court. Tne estab
lishment of the Provost Court by the
commanding general, is not seriously
controverted; but it is denied that its
civil jurisdiction can be upheld on the
assumption that it had the assent of the
President, because it was necessary that
specific instructions from the proper de
partment should be issued to that effect
before civil jurisdiction could be con
ferred by the commanding general, and
because the President, as is declared,
hod refused to permit the exercise of any
such jurisdiction upon the presumed as
sent of the President, it is said. It is
uncalled for and indefensible. Provost
Coarts are military courts, having a well
known jurisdiction which is limited ex
clusively to minor offences, tending to
disorder and to breaches of the peace by
soldicre and citizens within the lines of
the army and to occupy, with reference
to such offence, a similar position with
that of police courts in our cities.
The dissent then proceeds to review
tho practice during tho war, and asserts,
upon the authority of the record, that-,
after much deliberation on the part of
the Government,it was not to enlarge the
petty jurisdiction of such limits, and that
the graver violations of law should be re
ferred to military commissions, which
course was followed. Many instances
are cited showing that, as emanating
from the Department of Military Jus
tice, the decisions of the Government
were uniformly in harmony with this
view of the jurisdiction of Provost
Courts, and, it is asked, how in the face
of these facts tho assent of tho President
can bo presumed as authority for the
acts of the commanding general in refer
ence to these courts ? But it is said fur
ther that the assent of the Executive
can only bo presumed in support of
such acts of a subordinate officer
legitimately fall within tho sphere of
that officer's duties, and with tho exercise
of which he is usually charged. The acts
here sustained, on this theory, are wholly
inconsistent with the duty of the officer
in command. Tho former instance of the
establishment of such court in the cases of
New Mexico and California, referred to in
theopinionof the Court as precedents, are
adverse, and it is said, on tho documentary
authority, that in no one instance wa3 the
authority here presumed or exercised
without tho direct order of tho Execu
tive Department; and it is declared that
none of the decisions of this Court show
any authority or semblance of authority
for the doctrines announced by tho ma
jority of the Court, on their opinion that
it is furnished precedent in the dis
sent that even supposing the Pro
vost Conrt wo3 rightly invested
with civil jurisdiction, there is nothing
in its action which justifies its judgment
in the case before the Court. The Court
had already given its judgment that the
suit of the Union Bsnk should be dis
missed. There its powers ended. Its
action in the second trial under the dic
tation of its military superior was
bitter sarcasm and a mockery of jus
tice. In the proceeding the provost judge
said to tho counsel, no law need be read
to him; that the commanding general had
ordered a new trial, and that the case
would be decided under orders. A judg
ment thus rendered wants all the ele
ments of a judicial determination and is
entitled to no respect in any tribunal
where justice is justly administered. Tho
commanding general was a man compe
tent to sit in judgment on abstruse and
difficult questions; but he was not a
judge, but only a military chieftain, and
his order had nothing in it which relieved
its character as an arbitrary edict of des
potic power.
Tho position that tho judgment was
validated by tho new Constitution of
Louisiana, is not regarded as meriting
consideration. That instrument requires,
for the validation of a judgment, that it
must have been rendered in accordance
with the State law existing at the tine,
and that any laws of the State at the
time authorized the establishment of a
Provost Court, or that such Coort should
rehear a case, upon the mandate of a
short allowance of rain. Unless there is
more of the latter forage will be scarce.

Brussels, May 4.—In the Chamber of
Bepresentatives, M. Asprement Linden,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, read a reply
of the Belgium Government to the Ger
man note of February 15th. It denies
that Belgium has declined to consider the
German demand. The question of ful
filling the obligation to Drevent subjects
from disturbing neighboring countries,
applies not to Belgium alone, bnt to all
States which regard it their duty to
watch over the peace.
When the Belgium government is ap
prised of the steps taken in Germany and
other countries to remedy the deficiencies
in their penal laws, it will examine them
in their bearing on tho customs, tradi
tions and liberties of Belgium With the
sincerest desire to oo-operato in the
maintenance of good relations, Belgium
is determined to fulfill the dutieB of a
neutral State, and to cultivate the friend
ship of Germany.
M. Asperment, after reading the note,
stated that tho investigation of the
Duchesne affair was in progress. He
closed with an appeal to the patriotism
of all parties.
London, May 5.—The House of Com
mons was engaged in a debate last night
on a motion made by the Marqnis of
Harrington that the House do not enter
tain any complaint with respect to the
publication of its proceedings, except in
cases of wilfull misrepresentation, or
when publication thereof is expressly
prohibited; and that strangers are not
to bo ordered to withdraw from the gal
leries unless they are disorderly, or by a
vote of the House.
Mr. Disraeli, opposed any curtail
ment of privilege. The House was able
to deal with tho inconvenience caused by
the present method of excluding stran
gers by suspending the rule permitting a
single member to order their withdrawal.
Mr. Lowe denounced the continuance of
the practice. At this stage of the debate
Mr. Sullivan called attention to the pres
ence of strangers and the galleries were
accordingly cleared.
The debate on the Marquis of Harring
ton’s morions wa3 adjourned until May
25th.
The Standard severely criticises a let
ter from Mr, Gladstone read at the cen
tennial celebration of the battle of Lex
ington. It remarks that the habit of
toadying to Americans is discretional in
English public men and journalists. The
results of the republican experiment in
the United States are corruption of pub
lic life—extinction of public spirit—op
position of the minority—disgust of tho
honorable men with political life and the
transfer of government into the hands of
corrupt, unscrupulous and ignorant men.
The Tima fully endorses Gladstone’s
letter, and says it wonld be melancholy
if the first great attempt to complete inde
pendence should result in social anarchy.
Although there is nothing at present to
justify such fears, grave evils exist in
som8 American institutions, which must
be remedied if progress is to be kept up.

Albany, N. Y., May 5.—The commit
tee of the State Senate, appointed to in

the charges too high ; and if Now York

these terminal charges must be materi
ally reduced.
Tho joint committee of tho Legislature
in relation to the canal frauds and their

designing men havo not hesitated to em
brace. In the brief time allowed it would
not probably be possible to make even a
catalogue in detail of the frauds which
the testimony indicates, in addition to
these which it seem3 to conclusively
prove.

ELECTION IN THE 8th DISTRICT.
Hill’s Election Considered Certain!
Two to Three Thousand Majority.
Special to tho Telegraph and Messenger.]
Atlanta, May 5,1875.
Dispatches received at the Herald office
up to 1 o’clock show that Mr; Hill is
largely ahead, and is pretty surely elect
ed—possibly by a majority over both his
opponents. Clarke county gives him 937
majority over both—Estes getting bnt
60 votes and Price but 4.
Morgan county, though the solid Badl
cal vote was organized and given to
Estes, gives Hill-at least 200 majority.
He carries Madison by 55 and Butledge
by 70.
Mr. Estes leads him 90 votes in Gaines
ville, controlling the full Badical vote,
though the Hill men think that they will
carry the connty.
Gwinnett connty gives him 300 ma
jority, in Dnlnth, Norcross and Buford.
Tho bulk of the vote of the county will
be cast at Lawrenceville, where Mr. Hill
speaks to-day, and will give him 800 ma
jority.
Hill, it is thought, will carry Hall
county. Ho gets 114 majority at Flow
ery Branch.
It is impossible to overthrow Mr. Hill’s
majority. * His election is certain by from
2,000 to 3,000 majority.
Later.—Mr. Hill has just returned
from Lawrenceville and is addressing a
crowd m tho Herald office. He is per
fectly confident, and is much gratified at
the tremendous verdict the people have
given him. The people are wild with
joy.

Federal dead attracted so much notice at
the North last year. Nearly half the
colored people voted tho Democratic tick
et straight for the first time since recon
struction. Tho city was illuminated last
night, and amid cannon firing, band play
ing and general jubilation, almost the
whole night passed. Men heretofore
leading white Republicans were serenaded
by bands, and many speeches made.
In the United District and Circuit

Bepublicans and three Democrats.
The weather is cool and crops backward.
J. S. PerriD, lato Eepublican member
of the Legislature for Wilcox county, tes
tified as follows before the Committee
now investigating tho means by which
Spencer secured his election to the United
States Senate:
Troops were retained in Alabama be
fore the election on the requisition of
myself and others, it having been under
stood that Spencer had arranged for
troop3 to he put at the disposal of the
mayor and other revenue officers wher
ever intimidation was necessary. These
troops, accompanied by United States
Marshals, who had fictitious warrants
with citizens’ names prominently dis
played and shown to persons who would
inform upon them, were paraded in va
rious counties, and I shot a hole in my
hat and reported that I had been at
tacked by Kuklur and sent troops to ar
rest th9 mythical assailants. I kept the
troops as long as I could use them as a
political machine. Our purpose wa3 to
secure the Legislature at all hazards and
elect Spencer. A number of witnesses
testify to the use of money to effect the
same purpose.
Washington, May 5.—The displace
ment of Commissioner of Internal Rev

tleman, 03 ho had no previous intimation
of it. Yesterday afternoon Secretary
Bristow called upon Douglass, 83ying he
did so at the request of the President,
and to perform tho disagreeable duty of
informing him that ex-Senator Pratt had
been tendered and accepted the position
of Commissioner of Internal Eevenue.
Douglass mado one inquiry only, follow
ing this verbal communication. It was
whether his integrity as a man and an
officer had been in any manner impugned.
To which the Secretary replied not in
tho slightest degree. With this Doug
lass expressed himself satisfied. Other
changes in office ore intimated.

to the customary toast in honor of the
President of the United States, in which
he made tho following statement respect
ing the present incumbent of the office:
For years past I have had opportunity
to observe and know him, and I havo
learned to love and admire him. I know
from his own lips that he looks with anx
iety for the speedy end of his service. la-
a recent conversation he said to me. il
had no rest during the war. I had none
under the succeeding administration—
only anxiety and responsibility; I have
had no rest during the past six years; I
have two more years of thi3 labor to en
dure, and shall be glad when the end
comes.’’
We don’t believe Grant ever told Sar
gent any such thing, and if he did, we
don’t believe he was telling the truth.
When all a man’s actions point one way
his words in the reverse direction don’t
amount to much. But why didn’t Sar
gent whisper this comforting assurance
into the ears of the faithful in New Hamp
shire and Connecticut ?
Cautious Piety.
From the Brunswickor.J
Last Sunday was a raw, blustering
day, but several converts to Christianity
were sufficiently warmed with faith to en
able them to enter the portals of the col
ored Baptist church through the turbid
waters of Grand river. Bnt tho scene
was too uninviting for one little fellow
who was to have been immersed on that
day. Ho dogged behind the crowd that
stood on the river bank, and hid until
the coremony was over. He afterwards
explains his strange conduct by saying:
Tsc got suah ’nnff ’ligion—I’se done
found Jesus—but dat .water did look too
cold. S’posen I catch my deff o’ cold,
and die ?”
It was suggested to him that, in such
au event, he would have gone straight to
heaven.
Dunno,” ho replied, slowly shaking
his head. “I feels pretty sartin in my
own mind dat I’se got ’ligion, but a fool
nigger’s liable to be mistaken. Don’t
want to take too many chances on it jist
yit.”

New Orleans, April 23,1875.
There is only one regular steamship
line running between Vera Cruz and
New Orleans, and it became necessary to
take the steamer leaving Vera Crnz on
the 16th, or await the vessel of the 7th
proximo. It ' was unanimously decided
to leave by the first steamer, and to this
end we prepared for out departure. The
time had passed pleasantly, our new
made friends vied .with each other in
courteous attention; enabling ns to pretty
well Bee the city and its environs, in the
short time allotted us. We should be
remiss and unjnsb to ourselves, did we
not- acknowledge our obligations and
return onr heartfelt thanks to Colonel
John W. Foster, United States Minis
ister, Julius A. Skelton, United States
Consul, and Luis G. Bossero, an intelli
gent official of the Mexican government,
for their uniform kindly offices.
To Col. Thomas Braniff, Superintend
ent of the Mexican Railway, we also owe
many thanks for his munificent courtesies
in furnishing extra trains, considerately
consulting our convenience, comfort and
pleasure. The road and its workings
bear unmistakable testimony “of the
right man being in the right place.” We
offer, also, the meagre tribute of apprecia
tion to Rev. Wm. Butler and lady—and
to their intelligent son and daughter for
the oft repeated self-sacrificing courte
sies of which we were the favored recipi
ents. •
DEPARTURE FOR HOME.
Col. Braniff prepared an extra train,
consisting of a baggage and two of his
best coaches, to leave at 9 p. k., or im
mediately after the arrival of the Vera
Cruz train. All were requested to be at
the depot at half past eight. There were
no laggards, as we were too far from
home to take a remote chance of having
to whittle back the train.
Every possible arrangement had been
made for onr comfort, and the best prac-
that their limited facilities woulJ" permit
of. All onr new made friends and ac
quaintances have gathered to bid a final
farewell. Time, inexorable time, rolled
on, and at 9 o’clock tho incoming train
heralded its approach—the farewells and
adios were given—a shrill whistle and
jerk, and we left Mexico, probably for
ever.
It was a lovely moonlight night as wo
whizzed around Gaudaloupe, out by the
nest of Lake Tezcnco, passing the spur
of a mountain which blotted from view a
city of fascinating memories and attrac
tions.
BOCHA-DEL MONTE AND THE FAIRLEB EN
GINE.
Nothing occurred until coming to a
long halt it was announced we had made
the run of the plains (156 miles) and
were at Bocha-del-Monte, and conld not
proceed until daylight, far the. mountain
massage is never made in the dark. We
javc dropped tho four driver wheeled en
gine and hitched to the monster Fairies,
twelve driver. For fear of getting my
mechanical friends in a muddle, I will
give the outlines of the Fairlee engine.
The boiler is about forty feet long, with
a smoke stack at each end, and furnace
in the centre. Tho cylinders are attach
ed to the truck of the driving wheels, the
truck frames being pivoted or swiveled to
the boiler—the steam pipe connecting
the boiler and cylinders having a ball
and socket joint to meet tho play of the
trucks—the long heavy four cylinder
engine is thereby enabled to readily meet
tho requirements of short curves, and
putting forth immense power.
A IUDS BEFORE THE MONSTER.
Mr. John Quinn, the intelligent super
intendent of this mountain division, be
ing present, I asked permission to ride
down on the engine. “ Would you like a
ride a little more exhilirating and dar
ing ?” he asked. “ I will take the best
you have,” was the answer.
Being keen for an adventure, a heavy
handcar was placed on the track in front
of the train—Charles P. Mackie and my
self taking the front seat—Quinn the
rear, with brake in hand.
The sun was now rising. Three stout
Indians pushed the car to tho summit,
and away we went through the gorge.
Turning to the left into the almost per
pendicular side of the mountain, we found
ourselves far ahovo the clouds, which
were dense and in heavy billows over the
whole Maltrata Valley.
No pen or brush could portray the
scene. It relieved our rapid, fearful ride
of much of its terror, for imagination pic
tured ns if thrown from tho track it would
be into a soft, pillewy bed below.
Winding around, and through cliffs,
over bridged chasms, through tunnels
along tho perpendicular side of the moun
tain at a rapid speed, on a hand car, com
pared with the surroundings, frailer than
a kite, is, to say the least, very exhilirat
ing.
Our descent is rapid. We are soon in
tho clouds and rapidly sinking. Contin
uing our sinuous course at Gilpin speed,
we soon emerge beneath them, and there
again lay spread out before us the lovely
valley of Maltrata. We spin on, zigzag-
ing and encircling the plain, and soon
broke up at the depot—having made tho
run of twelve miles down this fearful
mountain road in forty minutes.
The train left on our heels, yet there is
no appearance of it; but far in the clonds
above you hear a harsh grating, hissing
sound. It appears slowly crawling along
the mountain'side, and would frighten a
world uninitiated in its mysteries. We
listen—and follow tho cutting, grinding,
laborious sound with eager intent, until
at last away high up in tho mountain’s
side, wo see the train emerging from be
neath the clouds, and the black, fiery,
smoking, hissing head of tho monster,
slowly and laboriously its anacondian
body appears, and it requires bnt a little
stretch of tho imagination to'conceive
tho mountains not “bringing forth a
mouse,” but a huge living monster ser
pent proportioned to the magnificent sur
roundings. It is a sight worth travers
ing a continent to witness.
The great mountain barrier was passed,
the excitement over and a pleasant run
brought ns into Vera Cruz at 3 p. m. It
wo3 quite a disappointment to learn that
the steamer did not sail until the next
day at 5 f. m. Another day could have
been passed pleasantly in Mexico, hero it
was a bore.
We again unfortunately put up at the
Dilligenco Hotel. It is a dirty unaccom
modating establishment, with piratical
charges. The Vera Cruzano is • far su
perior.
PARTING.
It was Col. Scott’s intention to return
to Now Orleans, thence to Galveston and
up on the Texas Pacific road. An Eng
lish steamer wa3 in port to sail next
morning for Galveston via Tampico and
Brazos, and he was influenced to aban
don our party, hoping by tho English
steamer to shorten distance and facilitate
progress. Wo parted with tho Colonel
and hi3 excellent and accomplished lady
with much regret. He had been to 113 a
favored boon, and his cheerful, consider
ate, uniform courtesies had added much
to our comfort and pleasure.
Disintegration now reduced our party
to six, which went aboard the good steam
ship “City of Merida” on Saturday, sail
ing at 5 p. h. Finding our3elve3 at Tns-
pan next morning, the day was spent in
transferring passengers and freight.
Another moderate night’s run, and we
are off Tampico, with the English steam
er anchored in the roadstead. The same
monotonus routine of transfer was here
•repeated! _ •
About 3 p. M. a United States steamer
came slowly in and dropped anchor near
by, giving the unusual scene of three
steamers off this port. Late in the af
ternoon we raised anchor and headed for
New Orleans. Our steamer had light
freight and rolled splendidly the vessel
putting on an extra touch the second day*
Mr. Newbold, Col. Grant and myself,
made an exhibition of our aocompliah-
half
across
beta of that
ments by promenading with
doz^n.cbairs and seats,, h
the deck, bringing up In bo
position. At least tw* -
are yet laboring under the
indiscretion..
Early on Thursday morning we reached
the Southwest Pass,-and fining an insuf
ficient depth' of water, had to circle
around to Pass a l’Outre. A pleasant
run brought tho vessel to her wharf at 5
p. M.—and thus ends all of interest about
our trip to'Mexico. C. A. N.

Sweet the memory is to me
O! a land beyond the sea, -
'Where the waves and mountains meet.
Where amid the mulberry trees
Sits Arnold in the heat. •-
Bathing ever her white feet
In tho tidelesa, summer seas.
In the middle of tho town,-
From its fountains in the hills,
Tumbling through the narrow gorge
The Canneto rushes down.
Turns the great wheels of the mill
Lifts the hammers of the forge.
’Tia a stairway, not a street.
That ascends the deep ravine.
Becky walla that almost meet.
Toiling up from stair to stair
Feasant girls them burdens hear;
Sunburnt daughters of the soil.
Stately figures tall and straight,
What inexorable fate
Dooms them to this life of toil ?
’ Lord of vineyards and of lands,
Far above the convent stands,
Onits terraced walk aloof
Leans & monk with folded hands.
Placid, satisfied, serene
Looking down upon the scen3
Over wall and red-tiled roof;
Wondrring unto what good end
All this toil and traffic tend.
And why all men cannot be
Free from care, and free from pain
And the sordid love of gun.
And as indolent as he.
Where are now tho freighted barks
From the marts of east and west ?
Where the knights in iron sarks
Journeying to the Holy Land,
Glove of steel upon the hand.
Cross of crimson on the breast ?
Where the pomp of camp and conrt ?
Where the pilgrims with their prayers ?
Where the merchants with their wares ?
And the gallant brigantines
Nailing safely into port,
Chased by corsair Algerines !
Vanished like a fleet of cloud.
Like a passing trumpet-blast.
Are those splendors of the past.
And the commerce and the crowd!
Fathoms deep beneath the seas
Lie the ancient wharves and quays.
Swallowed by the engulfing waves;
Silent streets, and vacant hails.
Ruined roofs and towers and walls ;
Hidden from all mortal eyes
Deep the sunken city lies;
Even cities have their graves 1
This is an enchanted land!
Bound the headlands far away
Sweeps tho blue Salemian bay -
With its si kla of white Sand-
Further still and furthermost
On the dim-discovered coast
Picstum with itB ruin lies.
And its roses all in bloom
Seem to tinge the fatal skies
Of that lonely land of doom.
On his terrace, high in air,
Nothing doth the good monk care
For such worldly themes aa these.
From the garden iust-below
Little puffs of perfume blow.
And a sound is in his ears
Of the murmur of tha bees
Nothing else he sees or hears.'
Ali the landscape seems to swoon
tetaabimyaneroeon;
Slowly o’er his senses creep
The encroaching wares of sleep,. 11
And he sinks as sank the town.
Unresisting fathoms down
Into caverns cool and deep!

Walled about with drifts of snow, X, .
Hearing the fierce north wind blow, •
Seeing all the landscape white.
And the river cased in ice.
Comes this memory of delight,
Comes this vision unto mo
Of a long-lost Paradise
In the land beyond the sea.

Dr. B. V. Pierce, Buffalo, R. Y.:
Dear Sir—Your medicines, Golden Med
ical Discovery, Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem
edy, have proved of the greatest service
to me. Six months ago no one thought
that I could possibly live long. I had a
complication of diseases—scrofula, man
ifesting itself in eruptions and" great
blotches cn my head that made such
sores that I could not have my hair
combed without causing me much suf
fering; also causing swollen glands, ton
sils enlarged, enlarged or “thick neck,”
and large and numerous "boils. I also
suffered from a terrible chronic catarrh,
and in fact I wo3 so diseased that life
was a burden to me. I had tried many
doctors with no benefit. I finally procured
one-half dozen bottles of your Golden
Medical Discovery and one dozen Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy, and commenced their
use. At first I was badly discouraged,
but after taking four "bottles of the Dis
covery I began to improve, when I had
taken the remaining I was well. In ad*
dition to the use of Discovery I applied a
solution of iodine to the goitre or thick
neck; as you advise in pamphlet wrap
ping, and it entirely disappeared. Your-
Discovery is certainly the most wonder
ful blood medicine ever invented. I
thank God and you, from the depths of
mv heart, for the great good it has done
me. Very gratefully,
Mbs. L. Chaffee.
Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines con
tain cither mercury, in some form, or po
