THE iATE JUDGE GASTON, ;
We know fall well that the voicrof praise and
coinmeodatioaa of Headship, hare no power to
recall the breath that hae gone ; nor can the re
eiul of claims;; to pablie honors and distinction
proroke the silent dust of soothe he dull, cold
ear" of tbe dead.' And yet it afford us a melan
choly MtisfjtfUon, to chronicle from pape to pal
per, the testimonials of respect and affection
which have, every where, beea manifested for the
memory of the .great and good man whose name
eads this paragraph. Perhaps, no tribute to his
public and private worth baa been elicited, more
sincere in feeling, more classical and chaste in
style, and more graphically true, thaa that which
graces our colamae this day, from the pea of the
Rev. Dr. Hoorciu of Soath-Carolina; one oi the
most accomplished scholars of the South.
' ROBBERS DETECTED.
On the 15th; January last, Mr: P. Dicxjksok, of
EnoxvHle, Tennessee, had his trunk cut from
the Hiilsboro Stage near this City, containing a
considerable amount of clothing and other valaa
ble articleai tito clue to ; the ' robbery could be
got, until within a day or two, aince when by
ftht sagacious plane of Mr. Jaaxs H. Murjlst.
City Constablelbe robbera hive not only been
detected, but most of the valuables recovered. t
Foor free persons of colour, arrested on suspic
ion of beiog Concerned' in the robbery, have been
examined, and fully committed for trial.
j EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
This body, having failed to form a quorum, have
idjouraed, to meet again, in this City, on the 18th
of March. The only members in attendance.
were Messrs. Cameroic of CureberiantLTrrrs,
of Warren, and Waxsox, of Chatham, all of
whom have 1eenf detained here a week, waiting
for the return of the messenger despatched after
Mr. Watt, efL Rockingham the nearest absent
Councillor. When the messenger arrived, with
the iBforsaatioa, hat Mr. Watt declined coming,
the Council adjourned ap above. It m dee. to
ur. Mpui ts, of New, juanover. to say, that he
apprized the Governor; of hut Inability to attend,
owing te. ill hlth; but what excose Maj. Coxi
xoE, of Lincoln, and Dr. Mebaxz, of Bertie, (to
iy nothing of Mr. Watt, who waa sent for and
oald not come,) have to render Tor this neglect
f an importantpuhlie dntVr we are yet to learn.
We know however, if the Council waa a Whig
body, instead of the opposite, the Lbc'e Foco Press
would teem with complaints Ion? and loud, of

The State Tkials. On Thuredij, Mr.
Moore. Q. C-, applied to the Court of Queen's
Bench on the part of the traversers, that the pan
nel of special; jurors be quashed and set aside, or
cancelled, and that a mandamus, or order in the
nature of a mandamus, should be issued, directed
to the Right Honorable the Recorder of the city
of Dublin, commanding him to place on the list of
jurors for the year 1844, in the county of tbe city
of Dublin, in their proper order, the names of di
vers persons, to wit, of twenty-seven persons,
whose quahticatious respectively, to be placed on
the list, was legally proved before, and allowed
by the Recorder as special jurors. After a length
ened argument, the Chief Justice proceeded to
give judgment. Viewing the question in all its
bearing fully and fairly, the Court could not but
arrive at the conclusion that the present applica
tion was a very unprecedented one, and at vari
ance with reason and principle ; and it wat there
fore refused. j
On Saturday the Attorney General moved, on

that a petition praying the Legislature for an
amendment of this La; so that no man shall be
seized with a Ca Sa, dnleai tbe creditor Wilt make
oath that he believes hie debtor hasTradulently
concealed his effects; or is endeavoring sd to do,
nas been started m ttowam and has received the
signatures of many most respectable citizens and
is urged by them with great zeal. The power of
ouo man iu seize me ooay oi anoiner, simpiy oe
cuiiw ii5 vww lum money, is a remnant or oaroar-
ism : and unless the creditor believes it is the
design bf tbe debtor to defraud him, a Ca Sa should
not in our opinion, be tolerated. As the law now
I stands, it ia often a trap to catch a poor mans
fnends, by meana of some slip of if is own, or his
w.uCJr, w uiucer who serves notice, ana
often causes the greatest oppression and
ships upon innocent persons.
We WI8h UCCess to the petUion, and we hope
other counties will take the matter in hand, and 1
speak to their law-makers in a tone worthy of
rreemen. aaiisoury watchman.
Diabolical On the night of the 13th inst a
most diabolical outrage was perpetrated at Clin
ton, Miss upon the person of Mrs M 'E- Black-
man, a respectable Dutch lady, about 45 years of'
age, by a negro man, who, having ascertained that
Mrs. If. s husband was from home, entered the
house, knocked down Mrs.B , and while ahe was
insensible from the effects of his blows, commit
ted the outrage. He was apprehended the next
day, fully identified by his victim, and after an
examination before 'the Mavor of tbe town; was
thm constable, from whom he made his escape on
Saturday night, although heavily ironed.
