The tierce struggle had been going on but a short time when the strain at each end of the boat caused the head e-ap to cive way, when the thief easily pull.sl the craft out into deep water leaving the head cap in the hands of the otheer. and jumping in was a.toit on the other tode of the creek where he halloed across warning the ollicer not to make any further attempt to arrest hiui on the eril of his lite.

Stltuii(- r Lumh, , - THE BONAPARTES. VEXEAHMiY OF THE .AIOl.f.O.V uoiat: or Surviving: Member of the Family I'rlnce Victor .Napoleon the heir to the Imperial Title. Tho death of the titular Prince Im perial of France and the attention nat urally directed to the Prince who now Iwonips the head of the Napoleonic succession, w ill give interest to a sum mary review of the Ilonapurte geneal ogy. The Philadelphia Times furnishes the following transcript of the family trwe, by w hich it will be seen that Na loleon Bonaparte had four brothers and three sisters, named as below in the order of their birth : 1. Joseph, born 17tS. died is.44. He was made King of Naples and after wards King of Spain, and on the fall of the empire came to the United States, under the name of Count de Survilliers, and lived for a long time at Borden town. He married Mile. Clary, by whom he had two daughters, Zeloaide, married to her cousin, the Prince of Canino, and who died in lfv4, and Char lotte, married to Najoleon Louis, the brother of the late emperor. She died in ll'-t. '1. Lucien, Prince of Canino, born in 177."), died IM0. He opjKwed the Kni peror's plans of conquest, refused a a crown ami devoted himself to lite rary and arcl.u'ological pursuits, for which reason the Kmperor excluded him from the succession, though he was devoted to Napoleon after his fall and to the claims of Napoleon II. His first wife was Christine Boyer, an inn keeper's daughter, who bore him two children, Charlotte, who was married to Prince Mario (iabrielli and afterward to Ir. Ceutaniori, and died in ISoo, and Christine, who was the wife succes sively of the Swedish Count Posse and of lrd Dudley Coutts Stuart, and died in ls47. By Ins second wife, Marie do Blest-hump, Lucien had four daughters and four sons. Jeanne was married to Count Ilonorati; Marie to Count Val entini ; Constance beciune Abbess of the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Home, and I.a-titm was married to Sir Thomas Wyse. The sons were: u. Charlvs Lucien, Prince of Canino, bom isu.t, died l"v"7. He married his cousin .enaide, daughter of Joseph, and joined his father-in-law in Ameri ca, w here he gained a great reputation as a naturalist. It was he who com pleted Wilson's ornithology. In later life he was director of the Jardin ties Plantes, at Paris. He had three sons, Joseph Lucien, who wa-s lorn in Phila delphia in 1-M and died in Home in l;yi.'; Lucien Louia, lorn in Home in lS's, ordained a priest in 1V$ and made a Cardinal by Pius IX. in lsiiSf and Napoleon i regoire, born in ls.'W. Tho live daughters ot Charles Lucien be came the wives of the Marquis Hocca gioyine. Count Primoli, Count Campel lo and Prince Placido tJabrielli. Louis Lucien, born in England in lsT3. He ha.s devoted himself to phil ology, and is chiefly known by his studies in Knglisltaud French dialects. r. Pierre Naimleon, born in Home in ld"'. a wild hut, who wandvred all over the w orld and was in quarrels every where. I Ie served w ith Santander in South America; fought with jiolicemaii 111 Italy: was tried lor murder in Paris: twice lied for refuge to the United States, and finally settled down in London, where his wife opvned a mil linery shoo under her princely title. . Anionic, Imuii in lMt;. Sjhmu his early life in Italy. Was a member of the Assembly from 1SI'. to K'iI, tiheu he retired from p.liti'-s. He was one of the f.imdy who kept aloof from his cousin, the Kmperor. ". Marie Anna Klisa. born 1777. died 1-jn. Married to Baej-eochi, a Corsican ollicer, in 17'.'7. Hemovod to Paris and w as made Princess of Piombina and Lucca and t rand lUichessof Tuscany. Their daughter, Najioleone Klisa, born ls', married Count Camerata and wa-s a prominent person for many years. She died in l"st'., leaving her fortune to the late Prince Imperial. They hail also two sons, the eldest of whom. Count Felice Bacchioch, transmitted his title and estates to his son of the same name, who was the friend and First Chamberlain of Napoleon III., and died in lsiiii. 4. Louis, born 177s, died ISP",. Mar ried Hortense Beau Imrnais, Josephine's daughter. Made King of Holland in I500. Though he was continually quar rMinir with the Kmperor, the latter in lo will, gave precedence to his child rcn over those of Joseph and Lucien in tho right of succession. There were two sons: a. Napoleon Ixuiis, born 104. died 1VJ1. His father abdicated in his favor in llo. and after the overthrow of the Kmperor the father and son lired to gether in IToienco until the hitter's deal h. Louis, Najxiloon, born 1S0S, died 1S7:J. It is well known that the pater nity of tho late Kmperor was ques tioned, but as Louis officially acknowl edged it, the matter need not be dis ciisHod here. Napoleon married Ku genia Marie de Montijo in 1SVI, ami had by her one child, Napoleon Kugene Louis Jean Joseph, who has just been killed in South Africa. o. Marie Pauline, lorii 17s0, died lsjii. Married first to Jcneral Leelere, and afterw ards to Prince Camillo Bor gheso. Created by the Kmperor Duchess of iua-stalla. Caroline, born 172, died 1839. Mar ried in lfSKi to Murat, afterward King of Naples, to w hom she lore two sons and two daughters. Lietitia Josephine became Countess Popoli, and Louise, Countess Hasponi. The sons were: 11. Naoleon Achille, born 181, died lsi7. Settled in Florida; married a grandniece of Washington, and died 011 his estate near Tallahassee. b. Napoleon Lucien, lorn lo8. Came to the I nited States and married Miss lernsur. Returned to Frauce in 14S; became Senator; received the title of Prim e of the Imperial Family in 18.3, and was with Bazaino at the capitula tion of Metz, His oldest son, Joseph Joachim Naoloon, is a colonel in the French army. 7. Jerome, born 174, died 1S60. Vis ited tho United States in 1H03, where he married Elizabeth Patterson, of Balti more, lately deceased. By her he had one cnild. a. Jerome Napoleon, born in Eng land, lNi, diexl in Baltimore, 170. (Graduated at Harvard, and married Miss Williams, of Hoxbury, Mass. His oldest son, Jerome Najoleon, born in 1-S3-, grail uated at West Point in lSo'g; served as colonel in the French army in the Crimea and Italy; married a Boeton lady and is now living in New York, lle'h as two children. The second son, Charles Jerome, lorn 1851, is a lawyer in Baltimore. Jerome separated from his wife and beenine an admiral in the French ser vice, and subsequently a general, and in the Senate made him the succes sor to the throne in the event of Napo lcan's leaving no male issue. In the following year he was made king of Westphalia, and his marriage with Miss Patterson teing annulled, he married the Princess Catherine, daugh ter of the King of Wurtemburg, by w bom he had two nons and a daughter: 6. Jerome Napoleon, born 1814, died 1847. He was an officer in the army of Wurtemburg. ; r. Mathilde LetitiV Wilhelmine, born 183). Married, 1841, to rrinee Anatole Demidoli', of San Donato, who died in 1870, when his widow was re married to the painter Paupelinv J. Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul, commonly known as Prince Napoleon, born in a talented man whose er ratic life cannot be compressed into a paragraph. He married in 1S59 the Princess CTotilde, daughter of King Victor Emmanuel, by : whom he has two sons and a daughter. Napoleon Victor, born 1862; Napoleon Louis, born 1864, and Marie, born 1866. It will be seen from the above list that the direct male line not only of Napoleon Bonaparte, but his brotfiers Joseph and Louis is now extinct, the surviving Bonapartes being the descen dants of Jerome. Of the former branch of the family, Prince Louis Lucien, the philologist, and his nephew, Cardi nal Bonaparte, are the chief representa tives, but the Napoleonic decree having excluded this scholarly line from the succession, Prince Napoleon, as the son of the younger brother, Jerome, comes to the front as the official head of the family of Bonaparte. Had the marriage with Miss Patterson been ac knowledged by the political law of France, as it was by the laws of Jod and man elsewhere, apparently empty honor would fall upon Colonel Bonaparte, of Baltimore. Prince Napoleon, who has become the head of the line, is a democrat in his politics, and is distasteful to the entire Bonaparte party. Removing this from the order of paity choice to the order of Imperial law we find it plainly laid down in the senatus consultum of 170, which lixed the succession, that in de fault of a male heir or the adoption of an heir by Napoleon III. from the heirs male and legitimate of the brothers of Napoleon I., the succession is provided as follows: In default of a legitimate or adopted heir, are called to the throne Prince Napoleon Bonaparte and his direct heirs, natural and legitimate, from male to male by order of primogeniture, and to the perpetual exclusion of women and their descendants. It is on this that Prince Napoleon can at will take his stand. HOIST THE OLD FLAtl. The City of Rome Presented witlt n United State Banner. Home, Ga., June 19. At a meeting of the city council yesterday the following letter, accompanied by a 'beautiful Uni ted States Hag, was received from Lieu tenant Marshall, of the United States army. The size of the flag is 12x20 feet: Rome, fJa., June 14, 187!. Hon. M. A. Xevin, mayor city of Home, Home, (fa.: Dear Sir: I have the honor to send, herewith, and to request its acceptance by the city of Home, through its mayor ami council, a national flag of the Uni ted States, to be used as may seem fit to them. To cultivate a pride in our country is a duty which wo all owe to the rising generation. In no better way can it be done than to obliterate from memory the scenes associated with this emblem for the past eighteen years, and I have no doubt but that the patriotic citizens of Rome ate now rcadv airain to take to their hearts the old lfag and to teach their children to reverence it, ever as they were taught in their early childhood. I am, sir, very respectfully, j-our obedient ser vant. W. L. Marshall. First lieutei. ant of Kngineers, U. S. A. In responding to the above, the fol lowing was adopted unanimously: Resolved, 1. That the city council of Home, in behalf of her citizens, tender to Lieutenant W. L. Marshall their heartfelt thanks for the handsome United States flag presented to the city. Resolved, 2. That this body respond most hearily to the patriotic sentiments expressed in the letter of the galla it soldier presenting the flag, and would assure him of our fervent desire to see our people united again under its broad foids, and enjoying, free and untrain meled, that liberty, equality and fra ternity once the proud boast of our people north, south, east and west. Resolved, 3. That the mayor is here by instructed to make necessary ar rangement for having the flag pre sented by Lieutenant Marshall hoisted over the city on the Fourth day of July proximo, with appropriate ceremonies. Tlie "ly nching" in Spartanburg-. Charleston News and Courier. We have no liking for lynch law, under any circumstances. There is always danger that punishment will bo inflicted without such proof as would convict the accused in court, and that a procedure which, in grave emergencies, is almost a necessity may be perverted into a means of gratifying passion or satisfying vengeance. 'Such objections have "unusual weight where, as in South Carolina, the operation of the courts is unimpeded, and every crimi nal, high or low, is sure to be brought to justice quickly. Nevertheless, we soe good reasons for the summary hanging in Spartanburg on Tuesday. It is a deed that we cannot condemn, w hatever its abstract impropriety and manifest unlawfulness. There was no doubt of the guilt of the suspected person. His character was bad, and a chain of circumstantial evidence was woven around him. It cannot be questioned that he would have been convicted of outrage and murder by any fair and impartial jury. Why then was it requisite that the peo ple themselves should take the law into their own hands? A ruffian who was capable of the double crime for which Moore was hanged is not likely to be deterred bv the prospect of a remote renalty. TTie only consideration like y to move him is the certainty that the punishment is to be mortal and imme diate. Moreover, the crime is against society itself, ana, in a State where there is a large population of ignorant and passionate persons, it cannot with safety be treated like an ordinary of fence against person or property. We answer for it that, when it is found that outrages like that for which Moore died are punished instantly by the peo ple, without reference to either judge or jury, we shall hear no more of atrocities that make the blood run cold, and do, if anything can, change quiet and law-abiding citizens into resolute and merciless avengers of a woman's shame and blood. There was no concealment in Spar tanburg. To their honor the people went about their fearful work with quiet dignity, their faces exposed to the bright light of day. They were not ashamed of their purpose, and have no reason to blush for their a t. The tramp's last dodge is to ask your advice about going to the next town, and when you warmly advise him to go, he says he has much confidence in your good judgment, and will emigrate further on at once. "But he adds, 'would you advise me to borrow ten cents before I start?" At a Sunday-school picnic the other day, the superintendent threw one lemon and two strawberries in tbe creek, and then sold the water to the scholars as strawberry lemonade at live cents a glass. I hiladelphia Chronicle-Herald. THE NORMAL SCHOOL. 0K ni XDRED AXDFIITTTEAt ll. ER8 EXBOLLEU. The Beneficial Ellects or the School The Course of Ntudy List of Instructors. Com spondeiice of the Sew. Chapkl Hill, June 21. The Normal School is now an established f-tct. True there are not so many in attend ance, as wo hoped t have at the be ginning of the sessio 1, but I learn there are loO teachers enrolled, besides other distinguished teachers of the State who are visiting and attending the exercises with much interest. This does not in clude the mothers and fathers who are near enough to come occasionally. Of course we expect a great many more we expect THIS NUMBER TO BE DOUBI.EH, at least. But suppose no more come. We have a full corps of teachers in the Common School course, besides anutn ber who give instruction in special departments. There-is a course in Lat in, in Chemistry, in Drawing and Pen manship, English Analysis and higher Grammar, in Kindergarten. To attend this course one lady comes from New York, another from Pennsylvania. Then we have teachers from the far South from Mississippi. Such is the estimation in which the school is held abroad. All honor to the "reform Legislature," which, with all its notions of "retrenchment," was wise enough to see that North Carolina could not afford to do without her Normal School that the children of the State must not be allowed to starve for the want of mental food ! This was economy indeed a very wise economy. But is the Normal School doing any good? Let us see; one hundred and fifty teachers waked up, well instructed for six weeks in the best methods, new to the most of them one hundred and fifty teachers scattered all over the State, going home with new ideas, stimulated to make new efforts, carry ing with them a new and higher appre ciation of the dignity and importance of their, I might say holy calling. Car rying these live ideas into the swamps, the highlands, the mountain fastnesses, LOCKED UP WITH IGNORANCE more than by their natural barriers this is the work of this ses sion of the Normal school. Each one of these teachers is benefited to a cer tain degree, how much I cannot say. Multiply this one hundred and fifty by the number of parents and teachers (are not parents teachers, too? They ought to be, they are, whether they will or not). Multiply, this one hundred and fifty by the number of teachers with whom they come in contact and to whom they give new and higher ideas. Multiply this one hundred and fifty by the num ber of pupils each one instructs, and you have the first result a mag nificent work truly ! But it dees not stop here, this is only the beginning. A stone thrown into the water makes a wave which ever widens, till it reaches the most distant shores, followed in its turn by another, and another, and an other, with their never ceasing undula tions. So the work of the Normal School will roll over the State, a mighty tidal wave of education, carrying its enlightening and purifying and eleva ting influences on its ebb, as well as its flow, forever. Who can compute the results? Who foresee the end of one day's work. It is measured only by infinity; it is bounded only by the far away limits of eternity ! Not the least of the effects of the gathering together of the teachers is the enthusiasm which is infused into all of them. Wrhat is it, that produces such a feeling? Is it the invigorating, health ful air? or the beautiful grounds, with their magnificent oaks and the splen did carpet of green grass? or the water of the campus well, from whose depths he who drinks thirsts till he drinks again? or is it yet the inspiring example and the inspiriting and encouraging words of the President of the Univer sity, tho Superintendent of the Normal School ami the noble corps of teachers w ho are putting their shoulders to the wheel, with untiring energy? Perhaps all of these conspire to produce the ef fect. There is enough glory for all to take a share. There is enough to make one proud that he is a North Carolinian. They were wise men who said "we will'make this school perpetual, each returning year will we sow this golden seed, each revolving harvest-time shall witness the gathering of this golden fruit all over our bright sunny land." The teachers are Professor Ladd, Superintendent, who delivers lectures daily on government, discipline, etc., of common schools. Professor Mclver, who teaches arith metic and geography. Professor Tomlinson, grammar. Professor Holt, penmanship ami drawing. Professor Noble, Latin. Professor W . Is. Phillips, chemistry. Professor S. W. Timand, physiology. Professor Tillett, English analysis and and higher grammar. Miss Coe, kindergarten. These are assisted by several others who have charge of sections. A great many lectures are expected by distinguished men of the State. Professor llotchkiss, who gave such brilliant lectures last year on geogra phy is expected next week. Besides, the Teachers' Convention will meet the 2d, 3d and 4th days 01 July, when many addresses will be made by distinguished educators. A splendid programme is it not? Anon. How the Kansas Exodus nejj ui- F. R. Guernsey to Boston Herald. How did this fever start? The an swer seems ready to hand: A year or two nso there came to Vicksburg a mu latto, some forty years of age, named Thomas V. Ray more. He opened an intelligence office, and made it his principal business to induce Alabama negroes to come to Mississippi. Some eight months ago, it is said that a rail road company, whose line runs from St. Louis into Kansas, (not the Missou ri Pacific) furnished Raymore with maps and gaudily colored circulars, giving eloquent descriptions of Kansas. These circulars were headed with these words: "Show this to no White Man." The negroes, who are Free Masons in their way, kept the circulars dark. The colored preachers got excited, and be gan to preach "Going to Kanzy." From this slignt flame came the confla gration. One of the circulars merits description. It gives a gaudy picture of the ''Colered Man's Home in Kan sas." The colored pater familias is seated in the rocking-chair on the ve randah of his exquisite stone cottage, reading the Tribune. The sun, huge and golden, is indolently pillowing it self on a rosy cloud in the western ho rizon. Through the lace curtains of the parlor windows may be seen the colored mater-familiae languidly re clining on a sofa, listening to the music elicited from the piano by a dusky maiden 'whose slender fingers sweep the key-board. To one side of the cot tage is a grove in which may be seen some fine deer. Turkeys fly by at easy range. The corn is growing high and luxuriant. It is the dream of an ideal ist, but to Southern Sambo it was "de truf fer sho." The exodus idea is not dead. All through the South, and es pecially in the Mississippi Valley, the colored people are quietly discussing a future and mightier exodus. The re turn of homesick and disgusted emi grants has an effect in their immediate neighborhood: but let a boat be sent down to the river to take away negroes, and the excitement would be renewed ten-fold. There is little reason In this exodus movement. The practical side is not looked at by the average negro. He is ready for a "skursion" at any time and to any place. If the genuine fright the employers of black labor have experienced leads to the formation of a public sentiment which will intimidate extortioners, lead to a fair adjustment of rents, and improve the political con dition of the negro, much goodwill fol low a temporary evil.

Mr. Beatty Matthews, of Lisbon, was walking in his plum-orchard, some days ago, looking up at the plums, when he came very near stepping on a very long, though not very large snake, which was evidently asleep in the sun. When Mr. Matthews jumped back it aroused the serpent, which in his fright ran up a tree near by, from w hich Mr. M. killed him with his gun. He measured seven feet and two inches in length but was not large. He be longed to the coachwhip species. 9f(l&lenbiirK. Charlotte Observer. Bathing in Phifer's pond has not been quite so popular since the alligator was put in there. t The fair next fall is beginning to be discussed. Charlotte wrill doubtless have a fair and a big one. Farmers say the cool weather has de layed cotton at least ten days. Mecklenburg county now has six military companies five white and one colored in good and regular standing. Charlotte will not do anything about the Fourth of July, now less than two weeks off ; never does ; exhausts her self on the 20th of May. Budding Roaes. This is a simple process by which amateur cultivators often increase their stock. A sharp penknife can do duty for a budding-knife, and the handle of a toothbrush, if ground down smooth, will aid iu lifting the bark. From the last of June to the last of August is the best time for this process, as the bark can be more easily raised from the wood. Take a smooth stalk and make a horizontal cut across the bark through to the wood, but not into it. From the center of this cross-cut make another cut straight down the stem an inch or more in length. . These two cuts should resemble a T. Slice off the bud you de sire to propagate with one cut of the penknife, cutting' it close to the main stalk. Now, with the edge of the spud turn back the bark on each side of the straight cut, and insert the bud on the wood of the branch to be budded, fit ting it tightly to the crossed cut; with a bit of soft yam bind down the bark, leaving a point of the bud exposed. A handful of dampened moss must then be bound round the .stem, taking care to leave the tiny point of the bud ex posed to the air. In six weeks the wrappings can be removed, but all other shoots must be kept from grow ing on the budded branch. By this means a rose bush can be made to bear half a dozen different colored roses. "Sampling" Cotton. Stealing cotton under the name of "sampling" has grown into a regular business in New York. It has been reduced to such a state of protection that the Cotton Exchange has been forced to make organized resistance thereto. A few days ago indictments for larceny and receiving stolen goods were found against two cotton brokers and a large number of licensed sam plers and cartmen. It appears that, in stead of limiting themselves to the small quantitity of cotton needed to exhibit the quality, these licensed sam plers take enough to make it an object, and sell it. The cartmen follow the samplers, and take a grab at the bales intrusted to them on their own account. The cotton dealers estimate their loss es through the system of pilfering at ?7",00 a year. The District Attorney has entered vigorously into the busi ness of prosecuting the thieves and the brokers who purchase from them, and it is thought some of the offenders will be sent to the penitentiary. COMICALITIES. A little five-year old was sitting with his mother a few days ago, playing at her feet, when suddenly he looked up into her face and said: "Mother, do you know what I want to be when I grow up?" She shook her head, "Well, when I grow up I want to be one of those men who cure corns and have their pictures in the paper." "What made you quit the East ?" said a man in Neyada to a new-comer. "I got into trouble by marrying two wives," was the response. "Well," said the othe", "I came out here because I got into trouble by marrying one wife." "And I," tidded a bystander, "came here because I got into trouble simply by promising to marry one." Two small but benevolent infants in the park': "Oh, dear, my beetle's only dot five legs." "Break anozzer one off, Johnny, so's he won't be lame." An English writer says that Beacons field, in speaking, was a perfect volca no. A sort of lava-tory, as it were. But he will not wash.

How General Stewart E. Woodford Planned to Prevent tbe Inau guration of Samuel J. Tilde. A Mr. John F. Mines, who may be remembered as the reporter to the New York World of a conversation some time ago with Senator Conkling, the most of which was repudiated by that gentleman, has turned up again in the same paper in another startling role. Obviously the laurels of the obelisk re porter will not lot hiui sleep, and uq he comes to the front with a prodigious story of how General Stewart L. Wood ford planned to nip in the bud TRKMENDOISCOXSPIRACV which never had any existence. Til den, as the tale runs, was to be inau gurated on March, 1877 in spite of the electoral tribunal ou the steps of the City Hall in New York. His parti sans where thereupon to seize the custom-house and would be able of course to run the government. This felonious intention was anticipated and frus trated bj the appointment of General Woodford as United States attorney for the southern district of New York. That worthy officer says that he thought the danger real and took his precautions accordingly. His orders and his intention was to arrest secretly the President-elect for high treason, convey him privately ou board a fed eral gunboat and ship him to Fort Ad ams or some other serene point where he would undergo trial. "The flrit thing that anybody knew of it," said General Woodford, "he would have disappeared, and the suddenness of the blow would have either disbearted 'his followers or taught them a salutary LKSSON OF BESPKCT FOB THE LAW. "I believe that we were in more dan ger of bloodshed then than In the mouth that preceded the fall of Sum ter. I am sure that if there had been another dotard like James Buchanan in the President's chair, rebellion would have been inevitable. But everybody knew that Grant was not a man to be trifled with, but one who would Use more grape-shot than words and had a firm reliance on artillery to put down a mob." TIIK FURTHER PHKI A RATIONS. included gun boats in New York har bor and marines and regulars in the custom-house and sub-treasury. All this has very much the appearance ofa cock-and-bull story, which Mr. Mines is quite capable to invent, but at the same time, it is well known that Presi dent Grant would have acted in the way set forth if he had been persuaded such a so-called conspiracy existed. SOME OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT. New Haven Journal (Rep.) John F. Mines wiitesto the New York World an interesting account of a con versation with General Stewart L. Woodford, during which Mines says General Woodford explained his ac ceptance of the appointment of United States District Attorney at the close of Grant's Administration. The danger of an uprising was felt to be so real that troops were quietly brought from the West and South and massed at Wash ington, Fort McHenry and in New York Harbor. Many will sneer now, as they did then, at the need for taking such precautions, but they were cer tainly wise ones. This scrap of history adds to the evidence that the people were right iu depending upon General Grant. Boston Post (Dein.) It has often been sjtid in disparage ment of Governor Tilden that ho did not exhibit sufficient pluck and energy in asserting his rights after the election. He knew then as well as now t tat had he taken the oath of office and assumed to act as President another war was a dead certainty, and one that wouli deluge the whole land with blood, the end of which no man could foresee. A man of his shrewdness also must have been advised of the contemplated move ments of Grant, and that an attempt to enforce his right with no organized military force to support him would necessarily prove abortive, more espec ially since the friends of liayes were in possession of the Government and their leaders willing if not anxious to involve the nation in another war. The country can hardly estimate truly the danger from which the wisdom of Til den delivered us or the debt of gratitude dueliim. A Iawsiiit Extraordinary. Uanjor (Me.) Whig. ' ' While Mr. Seward was a member; of the New York bar in active practice, in 1848, the postmaster of Syracuse re fused to deliver a newspaper to a Miss Felton, to whom it was addressed, with out the payment of letter postage, the sender having placed upon it the initial letter of his name. Miss Felton there upon sued the postmaster In trover for the value of the paper, and the case waa tried before a J ustice of the Peace, who held the postal instructions illegal, and consequently gave six cents damages and costs ?2.88 for plaintiff. The case was carried by the postmaster to the Court of Common Pleas, which affirm ed the judgment, with additional costs of 122.85. From there it was carried to the Supreme Court of the State, which added $37.05 to the judgment before rendered, and the pestmaster then ap pealed the case to the Court of Appeals, where the judgment was affirmed with the additional sum of $75.64, making $136.19 in all. Not satisfied with this measure ofjustice in the State courts, the postmaster went with the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, where it was elaborately argued by Mr. Seward and decided by a very labored opinion of the court, affirming the findings of the other courts and ren dering judgment accordingly, but with what costs the record does not show. The case, as decided by the Court of Appeals of New York, Is reported In 1 Comstock, 637, and as decided by the Supreme Court of the United States In 12th Howard, 284, in which volume it occupies nine pages.
