Loss ©t the Independence.
Bv the arrival of the V ■ iled SktUs at New Orleans*
we have San Francisco papers to the Ist inst.
The most important news is that of the loss of the
steamship In<l-ptnd’ rx-', of the Nicaragua line, on her
■onward trip from San Juan de Sud to San Frauci-co.
p will be recollected ays the Picay-.nf, that on the
s aval of the Falcon on her last trip, and also on the arri
val of the .Du *1 l r on the 6th inst., we suued
mat great anxiety was felt at San Francisco for the
iafety of the Irulrp k.. t, which was ovci-dtte. end
was last seen by the steamship Gold * Gate off the
Gulf of California. We also state! that the steamer
&< Bird had been chartered to go in search of her.
We learn from the Sau Francisco papers, that up to I
the Elst of March nothing was heard ol the Ir.Je/-n-1-
t ice, and of course the anxiety for the saietv of tbo>e
on board had become intense. On that aay. Cap*.
Sampson, who c.-mmanded the ImUpendtnx, arrived
and communicated the dreadful intelligence that .-he
was totally lost, and that ISO of her crew and passen
gers had perished.
The following account of this terrible accident is
from the S&a Francisco I Vhig of the Ist inst. The
particulars were obtained from Dr. Corbett, the ship’s
surgeon:
The island upon which the ill-fated steamer was
wrecked, is situated on the coast of Lower California,
one hundred and sixty-seven miles north ot the point
known as the Cape St. I.ttcas. The coast in this re
gion, bold and rock bound, is in many places inaccessi
ble for vessals or boats, and presents an iron barrier to
the luckless ship c •a-.tiug its rocky projections. The
spot where the steamer struck, was a point of sand
L-ach, extending seaward from the coast of the island,
but covered at high water.
The steamer was going tinder a fine head of steam j
on the 16th of February, when at day break, though .
before the light was perfectly clear, she suddenly struck
&nd stopped. The uud could be sen towards the j
coast, but verv indistinctly. At the moment the vessel
•tract, an indescribable scene of confusion occurred on f
board. A ru-h was made by the passengers to the j
va'ioas hatchwavs, and the upper deck was soon en- j
t rely crowded wilb human beings. Captain t.tnp-.,n j
r ?.s on the wheel boose, and at once ordered the eng;- ;
r-er to back her, which was done, the steamer backing
off with apparent e.se. The laud at this time appeared
c j the lcrooari bow, and made out in a narrow point
cr cape; the sea was smooth, and the steamer drawing ;
c"en ieet of water; no breakers were visible horn any
o-.ari.er. The concussion was not violent, but of such j
fo.ee as to arouse the whole ship, and in a few mo- .
manta every soul on beard wa- on the upper deck. Aa j
t en as the vessel was backed into deep water, Capt. j
Lampron gave secret orders that the pumps should r.c t
scuaded, when it was discovered that there were eight
feet of water in the hole. It was of importance that j
1 * —■ - -* lie Vent fnun the DOSSemrer- ,
to prevent contusion, white instant measures were I
looted to beach the ship at the nearest available spot. I
The news, however, quickly flew from mouth to mouth,
sad then ensued a scene of w hich no idea can be given, ;
save to those who hare been similarly situated. Here j
was the population of a small town, with many women i
*:d children, death staring them in the face, and no j
visible means of succor at hand. A rush was at once j
n ade for the most valuable articles of private property, i
Many were thus trampled and bruised. But it was j
scon fi>und that the shin could be kept afloat, and her j
Lead was pointed up the coast with the intention of j
beaching her in some convenient and safe place. To i
facilitate this, an immense amount of dry wood was |
heaped into the furnaces, and a heavy head of steam was [
kept up. Out informant thinks that they must have J
ran up the oust nearlv five miles before a suitable place |
was found. During this time quiet hod been somewhat
restored on board, and the greatest anxiety wa- tnani- j
tested in the progress of the vessel. Daylight had now
dawned, and they found themselves running along a 1
reek bound coast surmounted by stupendous moan- i
tains, entirely destitute of verdtte, and apparently unin- i
habited. At length a large gully or ravine was tire- j
covered, which appeared to make out into a sand beach, j
and into this nook the bows of the steamer were turned. J
The crowd was now so great around the stern to avoid j
the anticipated dunger of the concu-Mou, that the j
heims-man could with difficulty steer the ship. She ,
was, however, beached handsomely and with consider*- j
tie force.
Had this been the only danger, there is no doubt that I
every soul on board would have been saved : but in j
the exertions to get up steam to hurry the vessels pro- |
gress, a tremendous heat had been made in the furnaces;
the water, now fast increasing iu the vessels hold, stop
ped the flues and obstructed the draught into the
chimneys; the turnace doors were of course burst open,
sad a vivid volume of flame twenty feet in length, shot
into the fire room, driving every body before it with
the intense hear, and instantly setting the woodwork
into a blare. All efforts to control the dames were
utterly ineffectual, and from this moment the fire ran
rip; tfy over the vessel But in de-cribing the origin |
cf the fire, we have gone beyond the story ot our i
informant:
1 When the steamer had beached with her bows on. 1
f"d before the flames had broken out, a rush was made
for the bows; but the sea, though smooth off the shore,
n in heavy surf on the beach, and there was a distance
of some 300 yards between the vessel and the land.—
Capt. Sampson now gave the order to lower awav a
boat and tfie chief mate, with the other, undertook to
‘"any a fine to the shore. The progress of the boat was
v -itched with eager eves by the assembled mulutudy
on board the ship; but as some of the sailors on board
i bredicted, she was swamped by the surf, the line
was If o. S nd the venturers w>;b tbeir boat were thrown
upon the beach, the two men barely escaping with
foeir fives. A second boat was now lowered, manned

Dreadful cries and screams proceeded from the ship,
which, mingled with the roaring of the sea, the crack
ling of the flames and shouting of those on shore, who
could only gaze helplessly on the sight, must have been
an era ot tvrror in the lives of those who beheld it from
the beach. As the flames advanced forward the unhap
py victims were forced into the sea, and every surf came
l/eighied with corpses or exhausted half drowned men,
women and children. Such u scene has never before
b- >:n witnessed on ihe Pacific coast. To add to the ex
i itement, the flames had now communicated to the pow
der magazine, which exploded, testing liie run and
stern to peices, ami splintering all that portion of the
ship: the two guns, surrounded by the flames, also sent
their solemn booming over the scene. Those who were
fortunate enough to get w ithin reach of their friends on
shore, were dragged, half dead, out of the reach of t lie
surf, while others were swept around the stern of the
steamer oi out to sea, there being a strong current mak
ing sow aid f ..tn ihe ship. At one moment not less
| than thirty coqises and bodies of the dying were in the
i edge of the surf, some of them divested of clothing

j ried oft’numbers of per.-ons who were good swimmers
I or floated, who would otherwise have been saved; seve-
I rat women thus floating, were swept away; the bag
gage, such as would float, also went out with the
; ebb; none of it was saved by drifting to the shore.
We have spoken above of the manly conduct of the
j sailors, firemen and coal passers. Some of these noble
i follows, disregarding their own danger, seized little ehil
i dim in their arms or la-hod them to themselves and at
{ tempted to gain the shore; several are known to have
j thus sacrificed t hern selvas. We have no space or heart
S to insert the numerous affecting instances of courage
and self-sacrifice of which we have received accounts.
Among iheat most con picuous is that of Mr. farr, ol
Kicr.imeiiin, who lost his hie in attempting to save a
son of Mr. Watson ; they came ashore together, both
drowned. One of tbc firemen, whose name we did not
learn, brought on shore two children whose parents
were both unowned. Another fireman brought a beau
tiful ’toy a-hore to his mother who just been vva-.h
ed t. the beach; her husband and two children were
I drouned and she .■-iipjed this child had shared toe
I same kite; the meeting may be imagined.
The put set- of the ship, Mr. Janies Freborn remained
, upon th< deck until driven off by the fire, when spt ing
i in-g overboad he clung to a floating spar and was wash
j ed ashore in-ensible; he was resuscitated, but barely
eseajied with liis life, being attacked with a violent
1 fever. There is one liroman, known as Tom Sawyer, a
wild reckless scamp, bin whose faults, be they what
( they may, should henceforth be forgotten; this brave
! fellow, entirely siripiied. went to and from the wreck
i four times; lie is only nineteen years of age. After the
• third time, and when nearly exluiasted with his exer
i Ikui', he learned that the chief engineer, Mr. Collins,
i was unable to swim and likely to drown; he imme
diately st.iried off again through the surf with a lift -
preserver. fasicncd it around tile helpless man and ac
• companlcd him to ti. beach ; he was also instrumental
jin preserving the lives of several others. Most of those
! ashore w ere too exhausted to render assistance to those
j beating about in the surf. People ran about the bench
j perfectly frantic; one parly attempted to launch a boat
| to reach the steamer- but it was overwhelmed by the
j surf, and this accident intimidated others so that U was
impossible to muster the requisite force to launch a
I second. Meantime the -Lip had become a living mass
‘ of tire: the heat was intense, even on the shore, and
Ii vei ■ moment the beach received new accessions to the
list of dead and dv ing. The &cenc was truly harrowing,
ond when at last the ‘teamer was a charred ar.d smok
ing hulk, her stern lifted, and she swung heavily round
i and vvent up broadside on the beach.
Some few provisions were saved from the wreck, such
as salt beef pork, molasazs, vinegar, a few tin cans of
preserved meats arid some cheese, but no water, nor
1 was there a drop of water on tlm i.-land, which we have
! before observed was utterly barren and uninhabited. —
The usual amount of suffering, particularly among the
, women and children, was experienced. During ihe
first day, attempts were made by the survivors, after
; burying the dead, to procure water by condensing
: steam, but the experiment failed. There were now
I sotne 270 souls congregated on the beach, and they all
v.ent without tasting water for fifty-six hours; the salt
: provisions only aegravated their sufferings. Shortly
i after the scene we have described above, a party started
for the neighboring mountains, and on reaching their
Mimmii, they were enabled to descry Magdalena Bay,
; on the mainland opposite, from which the island of
! Margarita is removed some fifteen miles; here they
obv-ived four ships at anchor; they proved to be
whalers, busily engaged in trying out oil, while beyond
in the vast panorama they discovered several small
i boats in fill chase after a whale, for Magdalena Bay is
resorted to by whales in the winter season. Ob-erring
l this, the party descended to the wreck, and the chiet
mate, the engineers, and a few others, slung one of the
cannons of the hulfpendenct, dragged and lugged it
j with great toil to the top of the hill, and with whm
’ little [Murder the}’ had, tired twice to attract the atten
tion of the whalers; the boats, in their pursuit of the
whale, had insensibly neared the eastern shore of the
j island, and were at once attracted bv the discharge and
the smoke against the clear sky. _ The sound was also
j heard bv those on board the ships, and signals were
j ob'orved to go up to each masthead recalling the boats
While this system of telegraphing was going on be
i tween the shipwrecked and the whaling fleet, another
party had taken an irou boat belonging to the steamer
i and carried it bodily across to the lee side ol the inland,
and there launched ii, to pull for the fleet; on their way
they fell in with the returning whaling boats, who were
! obi ving the signal to return. The news of the wreck
1 of the steamer, and the dreadful suffering of the pas
sengers, aroued all the natural instincts of sailor hospi
tality in the crews of the ships. Every boat wa -at
j once called into requisition. They were loaded down
with provision-;, and despatched ‘to the scene of the
i wreck ; the assistance did not arrive & moment ti-o
soon; the women and children were completely ex
hausted by abstinence, and their sufferings bv the de
I privation of water were most acute. Purser Freeborn
went on board the ship Khriegn,C apt. Fisher, where
1 everv a’tention was shown him and nis companions.—
I Capt. l’isher also sent directions that the sufferers
: should cross over to the lee side ot the island, where j

Among the incidents of the day after the wreck, a
! child wa- born on the beach, and is now healthy and
. thriving; the mother wa? carried across the mountains
i in a hammock, and even walked part of the way to the
boats. Many of the passengers, especially among the
i females, suffered much for want of clothing. The dead!
were buried near the wreck. Holes were dug in the]
i sand with boards, and each corpse received a separate
grave. The number known to have perished is one
1 hundred and forty, and as the graves number sixty,
1 there were, of course, eighty who were drowned or
j burned, and whose bodies were not recovered. We
! have not yet completed our list ot those who were
buried on the iland. but notice among the names,
i thore of Mrs. Marv Ann Carnes, of England; Otis
| Hale, of Mass.; Rufus Mosier, of Newport, N. Y.; Mr.
j Cliancey, San Jose, Mich.; John Baum, Newark, N.

I England: a lame man, name unknown, hail a wife and
j child near Elizabeth, 111.; Robert Taylor, Boston;
i Chas. A Ward, No. 361, Broome-st., N. Y. All the
j above had money on their persons, which is in the
j keeping of Mr. Brigham, at tiie office of the Yanderbiit
i line. The fox lies of Mr. Tarr, of Sacramento, Mr.
; Knox, of ft. 1., and of Senor Larco, of Valparaiso,
j were not recovered. The lasi named was a gentleman
iof wealth and standing in Valparaiso. Finding hiur
j self driven into the waves by the flames, he turned to
| a few who were about him, and offered RoO/xKI to any
j [icr-on who would assist him to save bis life; but in
such a moment none could think of the offer. Seeing
that his end was near, Senor Larco said “ Farewell 1
It is only once!” and plunged into the water. He was’
quickly drowned.
The*body of Martin O'Mera. au Irishman, was also!
lo>d. He had many friends in New Orleans. Dr. Shaw ,
who was among the rei'sen jers, went back to Mexico
;by the way of La Paz and Mazatluu. He was carried
; by the under tovv of the smf beyond lire steamer, but
I eventually reached the shore by incredible exertions. —
i When he had landed, he threw himself upon the beach i
and went like a child. After the - swung j
round broad.>ide to the beach, her coal took lire, and.
the sight will long he remembered by those who saw ]
it. The mass of oul became thoroughly ignited, and ■
seen through the blackened riba of the ship, it gave
her the appearance of a gigantic grate of coal-fire.
The CrvsT.vL Palace.—Public interest has been
very generally enlisted in favor of the Crystal Palace,
and consequently the rumor that its completion would
be delayed much longer than to the lime on which it
was to hare been opened, has caused much regret. We
are assured, however, by the Consulting Engineers of
the Association, that it will certainly be ready to open
on the first of June. The delay of one month has been
caused bv the difficulty they have ext>erieiiced in get
ting the iron work, which is of peculiar construction,
requiring great care; and the founders generally hav
ing an abundance of ordinary work on band fcr regular
customers, w ould not set it aside for an isolated case.-
Nevertheless, all that is acquired for the Palace is now
nearly completed, the workmen are raising the dome,
uttd the whole will probably be finished, so as to he rea
dy for the reception of goods before the time specified
above.
?STF rom a work recently published, it appears thai
the number ot printing offices in Paris, including the
Imperial office, those of tbe Ministry of Justice, the
Mint (for the postsoflice stamp,) the Bank, and the
principal journals, is 94, in which are employed 9,526
compositors, 743 pressmen, 152 machine men, and 16“
correctors. There numbers would be considerably aug
niented if ihere were added the workmen which are in
a manner dej*-udent on printing, such as letter founders
steieotypers, press and machine makers, paper makers,
ink makers, Ac. The Imperial printing office alone em
ploys 144 compositors, 173 pressmen, 12 correctors, and
4 machine men. There is only one other office which
employs more than 100 compositors.

Heroic Conduct of a Girl. — In the night ofrm,
11th of August last, during a violent thunders to the j
cries of distress were heard under the walls ot the
ruined chateau of Gailiac,. Lot,; then inhabited by three ,
rustic families. The cries were, “Help, help', my wife
is murdered! lam a lost man ; it is Albarel that is kilt- ;
in.r us.” Albarel was one of the inhabitants of the j
chaieau, and was the terror of the district. The vo:.ce |
of distress was that of another of the inmates, named ,
iau, who with his wife, had been prevented from ]
coming home till late by the violence ot the storm, j
The tb.rd family living in the chateau, consisting of a j
man and his wife named Barthe, and their daughter
Victorine, a girl scarcely turned thirteen years of age.
At the sound ot the dreaded name of Albarel, who that
morning onlv had threatened to strike \ iclorine moth
er Barthe and his wife were struck dumb with terror,
but little Victorine jumped out of the bed, rushed to
her parent’s chamber, and exclaimed, “Oh, lather! take
a gun and go out.”
Seeing that he liesiiatcd, she added, ‘ it you will not,
I will go myself, it shail never be said that a man was
killed at our door for want of help.”—Stimulated by ,
this appeal, the lather vvent out, but it was too late.
Fau was mortally wounded, and his wife dead. Mean- ■
while Victorine hid herself in .he corner of a doorway i
through which Albarel, supposing him to be the nnti- j
ducr, must pass to gain his own lodgings. She pre- j
south heard the asassin approach with stealthy step, i
The slightest movement, aiul her life would have been
sacrificed to the fury of a desperate ruffian, armed and
recking with blood. She remained firm, assured her
self of the identity of Albarel, saw him creep into Ins
chamber, and instantly went in search of the officers of
justice. Dpon her evidence, Albarel was sentenced u>
hard labor for life. The Emperor, on hearing of Vio
toiine K courageous action, sent a watch to the Minister
of Justice, aud wrote with his own hand upon the en
velope inclosing it, “For Victorine Bar;he, to be pre
i.rnU-d to her in a solemn suiing of the Court of Assi
zes.” .
Pursuant to the Emperor’s desire, a solemn sitting ot
the Imperial Court of Labors was held on February
27th last. Victorine was conducted by the usher to the
witness seat in the centre of the court; nud these, iu
the of the prefect of the department, full bench
of judges, the assize jury and a large assemblage of the
department, the watch was presented to her by M. Joly,
the piesiding judge M. Joly, in the course of a long
sjieech. t-uid that heroism had in all time been the natu
aA production of the department ot’ the Lot, and enu
merated a long list of worthies born in the province
from the time of tbe Romans downward. At.er the de
livery of this speech the prefect presented Victorine
with a medal of honor of the first class, and a purse of
17, 0f. on the part of the Minister of Justice; at the
conclusion of the ceremony the jury requested that
the spechc-s of the president Joly and the prefect might
be printed, and that each of them might be allowed to
have a copy. —Fruicii
A Veteran Politician. —lion. Henry Shaw, th e
ret resentativc of our 12th and 13th wards in the As’
sernbly, is probably the oldest member of that body,
vet siili alert and vigorous iu mind and body. He \vt.s
in Congress ( from Berkshire county, Massachusetts)
more than thirty years ago, and t foed for the Missouri
Compromise of 1 -20, which cost him hfo seat. In a re
cent pas .age with his colleague, Mr. D. B. Taylor, Mr.
Shavv give his following good-natured account of his
own political experience.—A. }'. T> dune.
“In politics he had been everything. He had been
a member of every party he had ever heard of. (Laugh
ter.) lie was at this time a member ot the Democratic
party —of that faction known as ‘Hunker’ —a moderate
ono—rather tofily. i Renewed laughter.) Before the
time of Andrew Jackson he had be; n a Democrat. But
when lie was talked of as a candidate for the Presiden
cy, and Crawtiird was mentioned too, he > Mr. S. be
came a Clay man. lie remoined a Clay man during
the whole of that despotic Democratic rule and the one
tthat followed. He clung fast to Mr. Clay asking as
there was any hope of placing him in tho Presidential
chair, and was present at the Harrisburg Convention
and witnessed his (Mr. C’s) political death. And a sor
ry death it was. too! After that he left iho party and
again sailed under the Democratic banner. He had
been a Democrat, and left them when opposition to the
old United states Bank was made a test of the party.
He had been a Democrat, when on the other hana they
were the advocates of such a measure, and he expected
to find them returning to it again some dnv. (Shouts
of laughter.) He had been always consistent! (Laugh
ter.) He had made it point to belong to all parties in
turn ! Renewed laughter.) He was just now a Dem
ocrat, but how long he should remain so was quite un
certain ! It depended on the course pursued by Mr.
Pierce—a man who hud been elected President lately.
(Laughter.)
A dor-e. —How about übout John Tyler?
Mr. ShMo. —I was the personal friend of Mr. Tyler,
but I found to my sorrow that high honors turned his
brain and unsettled his inteliect, and made him a poor
vain fool! (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Shaw said he had now stated hi* position, and
given, he believed, a clear ntsterrornts political ftrr.
Living ef.vond out: means.— For the sake of ap
pearance, to keep up a display end make r. figure in the
world, multitudes adopt the vicious habit of spending
more than they earn. Pride and fashion exercise a
merciless despotism over their purses. Tho rich in
their abundance do net feel the burden; but when the
same thing is attempted by those m moderate circum
stances, then “comes the tug of war.” In order to ape
the altitudes of wealth, they exhaust all their resources
and even strain their credit till it i* perfectly thread
bare.
There is much in the habits and customs of societv
furnishing a strong temptation to this course ; yet it is
a serious evil. It is no! right as between man and man;
it is an extravagance that carries in its train a pecuniary
injustice. He who lives beyond his means must sup
ply the deficiency from the pockets of his neighbors,
very often upon the strenetn of his deceptive credit.—
His very display gives him an appearance of affluence
that misguides the judgment of others. He knowingly
passes lorn.sell off for more than he is worth, and what
is this but a species of B aud ?
There is ot course an end to this habit, somewhere;
the commercial reputation of the individual must tiual-
Iv be swamped by the number of his unpaid indebted
ness ; yet the whole process is one of dishonesty, even
tiii.-j iAUotrov'lso il. No chriMaill oUtfht
to be guilty of it. He not only disgraces himself there
by, but also jeopards the reputation of religion among
men.
It is moreover a very uncomfortable habit. He who
lives above his means, generally owes more than he can
pay ; and the farther he goes, the worse lie makes his
condition. lie becomes a stereotyped borrower; pays
one debt by contracting another; has a great many
debts to pay— little, petty, annoying bills scattered in
all diiectmns, which he does not know how to meet.—
They are constantly haunting him wiih their unpleas
ant clamors; they sacrifice his reputation, and give the
community the just impression that he is a poor pay
master. All this must be a source of great inconveni
ence and perplexity, far too great to find an adequate
compensation in a little meaningless arade. It would
be far wiser, involve much less friction of the nerves, to
shine less and enjoy more.
The temptations of the habit are both numerous and
dangerous. It tempts a man to sacrifice his sense of
honor; to [dace a lightestima'e on his word, to be easy
in promising, and very alow in fulfilling. His moral
principles become loose, and pass into a state of decay,
liis wants bribe him ; and lie is likely, under the plea
of necessity, to do what under other circotnstances, he
would not think of doing. Sometimes he is led to con
tract debts and then move’away, leaving them unsettled
and unpaid. Perhaps he tuns his credit iu one place
till he runs it out; and then does the same thing in
another, till he finally runs himself out.
He is tempted to ad sos meanness, not to sav dishon
esty, such as dodging his creditors, and making promi
.res which he dues not seriously expect to fulfil. Ilia
virtue is always taxed aud strained by his pride on the
one hand, and the inconveniences of his extravagance on
the other; and between the two the path of plain and
simple honesty is made very difficult, bins seldom go
alone; one form of wrong generally leads to auotLer;
and hence he whose proud heart requires what his lax
conscience permits, is on the highway of temptation.—
What he may be led to do iu certain crises made bv his
folly, he cannot tell. lie may be so severely chafed and
pinched, as even to be guilty of the crime of murder.
And then again, he who consumes all and more than
all, tor the purpose of display, of course has not a penny
for the offices of charity ; he can give nothing to aid the
roor, to promote tho public good, or disseminate the
knowledge of the gospel, lie is always himself too
poor for this work; and quite likely soothes hisconscicnce
and corrupts his heart with the plea of his own poverty.
He would be glad to do something, but he cannot —he
is so poor. Very true; but let hint inquire into the rea
son of his poverty, lie lives too fast; he spends too
much on himself and family ; he keeps up more parade
than he can support; and ihi3 is the chief reason why
he is unable to contribute to the interests of charity and
benevolence.
How much more commendable in the sight of ear.h
and Heaven is that man who is economical and frugal
that he may be liberal; who restrains his own passions
from excessive indulgence, that he may devote at
least a portion of his substance to the cause ofGod and
the interests of philanthropy. His is a rare and valua
ble virtue, and when it shall be more common in the
Church of Christ, it w ill be less difficult to find the
means for sustaining and enlarging all her institutions
of Jove.— EcanfftliM.
A Craiova Case.— James B. Barnett, a colored man,
has applied for a m in Jumrs, to compel the Trustees of
the New York College to admit him to the profession
of a physician. The affidavits f< r the plantin’ set forth
that Barnett is a Baccrlauteate of New York Universi
ty; that he studied medicine with eminent physicians
in that city, and that he was regularly matriculated and
admitted to the medical and surgical cliniques of the
College, and attended one regular course of lec
tures At the next term he was disiranchiscd and ex
pelled, because he was a person of color. The Trustees
admit the facts, but justify their course of conduct on
the ground, that by the course and usage of that insti
tution, persons of color are not candidates for tbe de
grees of doctor of medicine. The Court has reserved
its decision for their further deliberation.
