OnUieeomeday, IbcLMlhuf Mamh, ihn Genital Pacific Company had reached Lucca, coming eastward, loiving a gap of about ono hundred and twcutyflvo mdos to be completed. Of this tho Union Pacific Company willcomplote at leant one-half, being an extension of their lino some Hirly miles beyond Ogden, which on the east aide of Groat Sail Like, and north of the Mormon capital. Ono of the groat incentives to tho speedy construction of thbiroad has been tho rivalry of tho to extend the points of connection far into tho territory of tho other ns possible, tho law authorizing them to build eastward and westward respectively, until they idiould meet They will, in all probability, form a junction, within a few weeks, at a point sixty or seventy miles west of Ogden, and to that point each company Is entitled to tho credit and profit of tho onterprwe. -But there is an effort making at to overturn disregard the existing law and the farts, and to have Ogden doclhrod, athritarily, to bo the place of mooting, thereby defrauding tho Union Pacific Company of sixty or seventy miles of libnr actually performed and of the woU-camo glory of tho achievement. Such an act would viokto the entire spirit and tho letter of all tho laws on this subject It mikes no difference which company bos performed its work in tho moat slovenly manner (and wo imagine there not much to cbooso between them in (his behalf); as among themselves the law ought to -be atricily enforced and rigidly construed.

The law upon this point is to bo found us follows in the several HtituUw. The act of Jnly 1, 1852, incorporated the Union Pacific Railway, with lay out locate, construct, furnish, maintain and enjoy a continuous railroad and telegraph with the from a point on the one hundredth meridian of longltode from to iho wstvrn boundary of the Kctada Territory. Section 9 of tho snmo act that Pacific Railroad Company of California are hereby authorized to construct a railroad and telegraph line from the Pacific coast, at or near San Francisco, or the navigable waters of the Sacramento River, to the eastern boundary cf California, upon the same turns, and to meet and connect with the Orst-mentloncd rail- Toad and telegraph line on the eastern boundary of California. Pacific Railroad Company ahull complete thoir line to the eastern boundary of Jifornia before it is completed across the State by the Pacific Rulroad Comp my, the first-nnmed unpany in authorized to continue its lino through C.Jifomia until roads shall meet and connect." It also provides that if the lino through iliforau be completed first, the Conlr.U Ptcifis Company is nnthorizod to oontinuo its construction eostwardly through the tomturioi of tho United 4 4 until raids shall 4 meet and connect." The net of July section 8, provides that tho purpose of facilitating tho work on said railroad and of enabling tho company oariy ns practicable to commonco tho 44 grading of said railroad in tho region of tho between tho boon of tho Rocky and the western base of the Nevada tho Secretary of tho Troosnryis authorized, upon a cortlficate that suck grading has been done, to issue to the company ccrtuin proportion of therefor; and no such bonds issue to tho Union Pacific Railroad Comp my for work done west of Salt ike City under section, moro th-'ui throe hundred miles in advance of tho completed con-41 tlnuoua lino of said roilro uL" Section IT. of the some act provides that, should tho Central Pacific Eulrc.ul pany complete their lino to the d.wtom boundary of California before tho Union Pacific Company shall have reached that point, said Central Pacific Company may extend of road eastward one hundred CAy miles on thoostal dished route, ho os to meet and connect with tho lino uf Un Union Pacific oi Jniy iwkC, SocUon if, is in these words: the Union Pacific Railroad Compinr, with the consent and approval of the Sc-crotexy bf the Ictwlor, an hereby authorised to bvealc, and continue their road from la TcnttnrT, weirward, according to the iwst and practicable route, and irtthout Beferenco to the Initial point on the one hundredth meridian of writ longitude now prodded bylaw, in a famous completed Una, until they Bull owl' andoenneef with tho Central Pacific tuilroad Company of California; and the Central Pacific BaUroad Company are hcruiiy authorized to locate, and continue the road eastward In a cootmuoua completed line, until theyihall MMfMfauwl with the Union Katiroadr zvoriiaf, That each of the abjrc-aamcd Sbtx Uiu rlghi, when the nature iso work to be done, by reason of deep and tunnels, Bull, for the of the Pacific Railroad require it, to wurt for an extent of sot to exceed throe nandrod nmos in advance of their commuoua completed Thoro is no mudokiug tho intention of these statutes.

It was to cnouurage both companies to pash on their lines, and offering to ench an absolute possession and title to every foot of tho distance it might complete and occupy with its ro.vl. For Congress to step in arhltr.mly fix the point of junction at Ogdon, when tho Union Pacific has long since piumd that point, is snch rank injaslice that we cannot believe it will meet tho Approval of either house. 'With as much propriety, if tho actual point of meeting is to be disregarded. Congress might select Cheyenne, or Laramie, or any other station on the line of tho completed road, and declare that to be tho point of meeting and connection. It is urged thoro axo ports of the Unioolino which have been very hastily constructed, and this true; but it is equally true with regard to tho Central.

Neither is entitled to any consideration on this point as Against its rival. plain dnty of Congress is to keep hands off, and remit both parties to their remedy in the courts if they cannot agree. A CHEAP GOSPEL. We congratulate the of Chioagd on the advent of an infant among their pulpits. The Chicago Errning a very promising babe' la cctting its toelh in theology, and the process, though unpleasant, is interesting.

Have they any mysteries connected with their ritual, faith or' church iroveroment, let them lay them at the foot of this cradle. Spooking for its Master with an authority which no lay member would dispute, its decisions upon tender and delicate questions of faith and practice will oddroos themselves to the conedencea of the elect with a fulness of conviction that could, not be conveyed by the ditit of an ordinary Bishop, Tbs Post will doubtless agree that the world has, in all ages, been chiefly indebted for Its physical health to the miraculous cures wrought by'those travelling ccccntridties, who, without having been confused by contact with the various and conflicting -schools of medicine, were bom with supernatural powers of healing, being the seventh sons of seventh sons, or who have obtained those powers by diligent cultivation of their, beards and hair, or bv assiduous advertising. If this is true in tho physical world, we fail-to see why tho' xnay sot prove it to bo equally true in the' spiritual. We shall look for a heavy business in curing souls now that one not of the regular faculty has entered tho field. baa directed (and wo ask thb faithful to obponreQ that the good people of Grace Church sweep pew-rents and sales out of it os the iron troopers swept out the YTq are not informed when or where tho iron troopers swept out the idols, and the illustration strikes our mind with a sense of anachronism, as if we should say: the boys in blue, under the brave General Putnam, overran But our theological infant suggests an inscription for Grace Church, which, if painted in sufficiently large letters, as it ought to be, would certainly attract the attention ofmoet people of taste and refinement Says our ecclesiastical prodigy in Israel; wide the on the front, This is the House of those who come Originalbatins 1 a precedent wiH bo found for it In the Temple of the artist who, after painting, as a tavern sign, a faithful imago of the beast fox whom entertainment was provided, thinking it doubtful whothcr the likeness be recognized, wrote orer them, faspectivsly This iatnuo- Thia is a those who will, Game in." Doubtless the architect of Qraco.djnrch sopposos, in his simplicity, that people can distinguish a chords from enj other edifice, farther than they could read any inscription thereon, howoror ologant and appropriate.

We know that many people atumhlo into the lager bebr aalooij on Sunday.for cannot be designated as works of -necessity but it nexor occurred to our imagination that it was for want of a sign to help them to recognise a church when they saw one. Indeed, wo hare the highest authority for saying that It is only a wicked and perrorso generation that soeketh after a sign. Our ecclesiastical brother of the Pott remarks that the bid when a church waa built for the honor of our Maker, it was for honor indeed. It acknowledged no ownership in Wo confess, with all humility, that our rocoUection does not data book beyond the fourth century, though wo aro anxiously looking forward to the period when it will, Bui tho careful study of church history does not reveal to ns any instance in which a church built by men disputed its ownership by men. In apostolic times Doaoona and Trustees were appointed expressly church might bo owned by men.

Under tho Church of Como, tho Bishops and clergy own tho church property on behalf of thoio who contribute it. There would, doubtless, be advantages worthy of profound consideration in vesting tho title tojjchurch property directly in tho Deity. The Pott no doubt, hope that tho Deity would acquire a stronger influence over the consciences of worshippers if the title to tho church, property were vested pn knowledgod ho ownershipjin While we profoundly admire tho piety which moves tho Pott thus to make known its yet thorn are inconveniences oocmeoted with this plan which, in the opinion of some, Some little time has elapsed ainco the prophets procured their broad fromravena, and since, by tho discontinuance "of tho sacrifices of rams and goats, compelled to buy their Lmc.it There are where the gospel £hrj jhupporkd by ono -communicant bringing a bushel another a pound of wax, another a nlub of last pork, or, a bed-quilt, for tho comfort and consolation pastor and sexton.

Whflo wo tho ardent generosity of ono who would build bo elegant a church as Church in order that he might bo excluded from it by the presence of the people lo get spiritual instruction without paying for it, wo notice that the churches ore not built by that doss. Indeed, were wo to wait for our churches until tho apostles of ft grata, itous gospel erected thcirtcmplos, we should indeed have nano that acknowledged ownership in bat those that God had made. SPECIAL LEGISLATION. TVo could not aver that tho Legislature of Illinois luw ever been called upon to in porato a sowing society, to mond an oxyoke, to exempt a hotel from bodbags, or to authorize a tender mother, in tho depth of her fondness, to spank her awn baby.

But these exceptions only prove tho rule that tho Illinois Legislature has been called upon to do everything except that which the highest coarts of tlngjunfl have decided that'parliament itself cannot do, Make man woman. In looking over a list of forty-six bills on which tho Governor is preparing vetoes, it is evident that in many oases the special relief sought could have been obtained by merely look, ing over tho Slate Constitution in advance and drawing tho charter or act in harmony with it In sumo coses, however, tho relief is provided for by laws already in existence. But out of the entire 1,000 acts which have become laws, probably eight hnndrod come under tho class which could bo belter provided for 'by general than' by special laws, And they would bo ho provided for did not tho lobby make money by withholding genera! laws and affording tho same relief through special enactments. All Uws for incorporating Mttns, titiea, or badness Companies cf whatever kind, or names of or counties, or'to; provide' for by to public poses of whatever kind, should bo 'general. Under, a general law, public notice can bo given to the parties affected, adverse parties can bo board cither 'before proper officers; the vole of all interested, if jt concern a largo population, can' bo taken, and the' matter is considered judicially and without the assistance'of ft' lobby.

But tho System of special logialo- Uon invites parties to smuggle laws through tho Legislature without the knowledge of pnrtiesinterested, and to Iho detriment and disgrace of legislation. It loaves no time -for general legislation, and maintains tho standard of tha general laws of IHidoiaadvanood and progrosaivo than that of tho loss populous States around us. THETKETTCH ELECTIONS. Ob the 31st of May next there will bo held in France the general elections for members of the Corps Legislatlf. All "Europe is looking forward fo those elections with a degree of onriofeity ninl suspense ftilly Justified by their groat importance.

Thofoct is that "Franco, nl. though tho powera'of the Corps Legislatif which is to be renewed at those elections, exceedingly limited, will in reality solve tho momentous problem whether tho empire, aa At present constituted, shall bo permanent, or whether, at no distant day, same ether form of government shall bo substituted for It AH parties in France arc fully alivo to the greai importance of those elections, mid evvfi.the-most ardent and sanguine Bonapertists, including the Imperial family, are looking forward to tho 31st of May with no hltlo agitation and uneasiness. For some time past tho government been 6training every nerve to wnaiwltota (he discontented elements of the almost every measure which it has adopted of lato has been solely dictated by the desire to win over to its side those which are triown tribe ip Tho have boon instructed to send to the Emperor, weekly reports concerning the state of 'public among the people of their departmenth. Tho lists oflhb cahclidatoi who'wfll bo supported by the government are constantly being revised with tho utmost core. Such of tho members of the in the Corps Logialasf aa ore known to have booozno obnoxious to their constituents ore thrown overboard, more popular men, even if less ardent BonapattsU, are nominated in their Peaces.

The various wings of the Opposition, on the other band, are likewise leaving riowtemetarttmiod to secure tho election of os many adversaries of tho present regime asposihle. Steps have been token to bring Eb-nyit a dorian of all opposition elements in those districts Where their dissan- Eians hare heretofore resulted in the triumph of the government In short, both sides will dispute every inch of ground with one another with extraordinary obstinacy and vigor, and theoontest is oartain to became by far the most viglent end bitter ever known in the history of French elections. XHiat will Be the result? Of the flvamill-- ion voters who, op the 20th of December. 18-51, eighteen days after the coup rfVfdf, approved of what Lotus Napoleon had done on the 2d of Deoember, large proportion arenow in tholr graves; bat. in their places bare arisen young voters, one-half of whom will cast-their first on the Slsiof May next.

At the Presidential election on the 10th of December, 1848, Louis Napoleon Dongparte reeved 5,434,220 votes. Oniho 20th pf December, 1851, 5,175,000 votes worn east for the approval of the coup tTcfof, and -a few hundred thousand votes against it, Elena months afterward, on the 20th of Noromber, 1852, rotes declared in favor re-eetabliahoent 2M.501 against 2,072,798 registered voters kept sway from the polls. At the elections for members of the Corps Legislate in 1852, the aggregate vote cast for tho government candidates waa their liberal opponents received votes. At the next general tiohs for tho Legislature, in tho year 1857 the aggregate rota obtained by the government candidates was tho candidates of the Opposition received 646 votes, so that the Literal party had gained in six yearn only about 30,090 votes. But a still larger number of citizens abstained from voting than in 1852 and 1857, In tho year 18C3, at tho third general tions for the Legislature, the number of registered voters waa larger than ever before, and, owing to a few oandessons made by the Emjieror to tho Liberal party, a portion of those who had hitherto stubbornly refused to participate in tho elections appeared again at tho polls.

The result was that 7,283,028 citizens voted. Tho government candidates received 5,302,320 votes and the Liberal candidates The press was still completely musded; the right of meeting was still withheld from the people, and tho Opposition candidates in many districts were unable oven to inform the electors that they were journals in most of the deportments botngwholly under the control of the Prefects, who would not allow any announcements of Liberal candidates to be made in their columns. In spite of all these obstacles, tho Opposition achieved a sweeping triumph In most of the large cities, and gained overja million of now adherents since 1857. Tho profound sensation which tho magnificent victory -of the Opposition in -oil of the Parisian districts created throughout France, showed very, -clearly' -that, if tho elections in tho. provinces had place week afterward, tho result in many country districts would have been widely different Since tho year 18C3 elections for members of tho Corps Legislatif have been held in sixty districts, all of which, with tho exception of a single one; were formerly represented by BonaportistSjJwho, in 1853, been elected by heavy majorities.

JNow, in seventeen of these districts Liberals were elected, generally by handsome majorities, and tho who were elected in tho other districts, succeeded' mostly only by the skin of their teeth." In view of tho results of these special elections, and tho evident state ofj public opinion in France, tho most experienced politicians of tho French Opposition predict that, under no circumstances, will tho government bo able to more (than twothirds of all tho districts; and that, inasmuch as the Liberals Lave a Hurojrprospoct of electing all their candidates Jin the first and second-class cities, the government majority will in all probability reduced. But, even the fgovorncxnmcnt should succeed in getting thirds of its candidates elected, tho victory would bo equivalent to a dofo.it. fn order to understand this, it should bo borne in mind that this majority of tho Corps Legislalif would consist, not of 'ardontjand trustworthy Imperialists, hut, in groat part, of time-servers and who, owing tho frequent political Jfchanges! that place in Franco, have been greatly demoralized, worship success, and who are only too ready abandon a cause so soon as they believe it to bo sinking, no matter how slavishly they may have served it before. In consequence -of tho growing -discontent in the country, tho-Second Empire has already lost, in the last few yean, a groat many of its adherents who, worship success, and another striking of the, growing unjKipnlarity of tho Kmperor and as the election of on unsually largo number of Opposition mmVdaWai would drive not a few Jmembers, elected us Bonnpartists, into tho ranks of tho Liberals. At the same time, tho Opposition, greatly elated aa it would an endorsement on tho part of the people, would take a far bolder stand against tho government than heretofore, and demand concessions in a tone which would find millions of echoes and produce intense excitement in aD ports of France.

The bolder tho attitude of tho Lilmrals, tho more timid the government members would grow. Descr tions would become aa frequent as they were in 1814, IS3O and 18(8, and the gov. ernment might ono morning, at a time of critical importance, be confronted by a hostile majority that would no't shrink from enlarging tho powers of the Legislature-and undoing tho work of Deccmlier 2, 1851. tub yonrummr.

In support of this protest some thirty propositions are submitted, tne principal of which are as follows: That both the Established and Presbyterian Churches are Scriptural Churches, and among tho strongest bulwarks in Ireland of the principles asserted at the lie-formation. That tbe Church established In Ireland Is an Integral part of the United Church of England and Ireland, and Identical in faith, doctrine and discipline with that part of the same Church csfablNTicd In England.

Two or three strokes of the engine brought them In collision with the water, which was high up the shaft.

They immediately cried ont that it was water and not fire; but before the engine could be reversed they were plunged ten ox eleven feet into the water. When the men returned to tho surface, messengers were sent out for the Eart of Dudley's agents in the iiutcet, and a very abort time saw them standing round the shaft, dix-mmng what had boot be done. The great water engine was set to work at the rate of ntneatrolces a minute. Instead of five or six; the trough pomptng engine gut Into gear and at once commenced to work, and a barrel, instead of a akin, was attached to the end of tho pit rope. The whole of these arrangements were made, and water at the rate of 230 tons per hour raised from the pit: but such was the force of the element that at la o'clock, noon, the water bad only sunk about sixteen inches down the shaft.

Soch modifications of the Imperial constitution may take place. The Emperor is understood to desire a gradual advance towards the 014 parliamentary system, with its old liberties; such, in fact, ca Is now at wort in most continental States with mbro or less success. If Prance obtains liberty, wisely wears liberty and metises liberty, during the lifetime of Napoleon 11., there wQllic no question about the rights and heirship of Napoleon IV.

The world went well and smoothly with him previous to that unhappy erect bouse was famished with all-the comforts of a country gentleman's residence. He bad bU horses and bounds, and, In the sporting season, was foremast at every fox bant and at everv manly outdoor sport. He had robast health ana vigorous, athletic frame In those days, bat It Is very different with now. Above the middle height, with a reddish moustache and.

He says be was bom wtthln a few miles of boose, and has lived all his life in the country. Ills whole desire now uto Ui allowed to spend the balance of his days quietly In. the bosom of bis family. In his sunken, lustre leas eye, pallid Ups and cold, ashy complexion, one could read the words, with a terrible significance.

In the prime of his years, looking prematurely old and careworn, there arc few indeed who could gaze on the wreck and ravage In the lace of this man before them without feeling a sentiment of sympathy and commiseration. have come sold the Doctor, sorrowfully, 'to And nothing left mo bat my house and family. No money, no provisions, no crops in the ground, and no clear way before me where to derive the means of support in my present enfeebled There was no deception here. In the scanty furniture of the hoase and in the pale, sad countenance of the speaker there was evidence enough of poor add altered fortune. It was now evening and growing rapidly dark.

A big fire blazed on the ample nearth, and Mrs. Mudd, an Intelligent and handsome lady, with, one of her children, joined the Doctor and ourselves in the conversation over the events of that memorable April morning after the assassination. you njo Booth, Mrs. Mudd we Inquired, with a feeling of Intense Interest to hear her reply. she replied, I uaw himself and Harold after they entered this parlor.

Booth stretched himself out on that sofa there and Harold stooped down to whisper something to did Booth Very bad. He seemed as though he had been drinking very hard; hts eyes were red and swollen, and halrm disorder. Hid he apsear to suffer after he laid down, on rho sofa. In fact. It seemed as If hardly anything was wrong with him 'TVhat kind of a fracture did Booth we Inquired, addressing the Doctor.

said he, after ho wasjalddownon that sofa, and having told mo that his leg was fractured by bis horse falling oa him during his Journey up from Richmond. I took a knife and split the leg of his boot down to the Instep, slipped It off and the sock with It; I then fell carefully with both hands down along his leg, but at first could discover nothing like crepitation, till, after a second investigation, I found, on the outside, near the ankle, something felt like Indurated flesh, and then for the flrst time I concluded it was a direct and dean fracture of the bone. I then Improvised out of pasteboard a eort of boot that adhered close enough to the leg ro keep It rigidly straight below toe knee, without at all Interfering with the flexure of the leg. A low cut shoe was substituted fur the leather boot, and between and fl o'clock ta the morning Booth awfl his companions started off for a point on the river did horse look after hla Inquired. boy, after putting him up tn the Doctor replied, reported that bis beck underneath the forward pan of the saddle was raw and bloody.

Thu circumstance tallied with Booth's, account that he had been riding all day previous from Richmond, and no suspicion arose tn my for one Instant that the man whose leg I was attending to waaaything more than what he represented You knew Booth before. Doctor. was first introdated to Booth tn November, 1664, at the church Kder, spoke a few to him and never saw afterwards until a mtic while before Christmas, when I happened to be tn Washington making a few purchases and walling for some friends from Baltimore- who promised to meet me at the Pennsylvania Hoase and come out hereto spend the holidays. I was walking past the National Hotel the time, when a person tapped me on the shoulder, and, on turning round. I discovered was the gentleman 1 was introduced to at the church about six weeks previously.

He asked me aside lor a moment, and sold ho desired an Introduction to John U. Surratt, with whom he presumed 1 was acquainted. I said that 1 was. Surratt! and 1 became almost necessarily acquainted, from the fact of hla living on the road 1 travelled so often on my way to Washington, and having the only tavern on the wsy that 1 cared to visit. Booth and I walked along the avenue three or four blocks, when we suddenly came across Surratt and Welchman, and all four having become acquainted, we adjourned to tho National Hotel and had a round of'drinks.

The wUncases in my ease swore Unit Booth and I moved to a corner of the room and were engaged for an hour or so la secret consultation. That was barefaced lip- Tn? whole four of ns were tn ioud and open convereatiou sll the time wo were together, and when we separated never lokl the soldiers, Doctor, the coarse the fugitivespursued after leaving the Itdldthem the route that Booth told me he intended to take; but Booth, It seems, changed his mind after quitting here, and went another way. This was natural enough; yet I was straightway accused of seeking to set the soldiers astray, and it was urged against me as proof positive of Implication In the most have felt seriously agitated on being arrested In connection with this matter 7' was as self-possessedaa lam now.

Before a word of evidence was heard, my case waa prejudged and 1 was already condemned on the strength of wild rumor and misrepresentation. The witnesses perjured themselves, and while 1 was sitting there in that dock, listening to their monstrous falsehoods, I felt ashamed of my species and lost faith forever in That men could stand np In that conn and take an oath before Heaven to tell the truth, and the next moment set themselves to work to swear away by downright perjury the 1 fe of a fellow-man was a thing that £ln my Innocence of the world never thought possible. After 1 was convicted and sent away to the Dry Tortngaa a confession was gotten up by Secretary Sunton, purporting to have been made by me to Captain Dntton on the steamer, and was afterwards appended to the official report of my trial This was one of the most Infamous dodges practised against me, and was evidently intended as a Justification for the illegality of my conviction.

The dlff-rcnce between contagion and infection which 1 have discovered Is that one generates the poison from which the fever springs and the other does not. Contagion, such as small-pox. measles, generates the poison which spreads the complaint of yellow fever, typhoid fever and other such Infections diseases.

At half-past Ik o'clock everything waa tranquil In the magnificent- hlack-walnut-fonuabed tyfrusaf of the Union Pacific Railway Company, is Nassau street. A few gentlemen on business whisked briskly Into and oot of the and the clerks were leaning 00 closed books and holding In groups two or three In various pans of the 1 room.

Mr. Farrell has nude careful observations, and hU remarks are calculated to remove many of the wrong impressions which exist on this subject Mr. Farrell writes that he made these observations to satisfy himself, and In order to lons a correct opinion. Before emancipation we were told, be says, that the blacks were unfit for freedom, but we were never told when they would be Ot He the? are working the problem out, and that they are as Intelligent voters as the same of persons New Tart. Mr.

Faired is a recent convert to the belief that the negro most have a vote. He is satisfied that the franchise absolutely necessary for them, and that, in a republican government, It ts more necessary for the poor man than it is for the ncit It makes nnw respect himsetf, and makes others respect him. Dear Mb. It is very often dimcnlt todis- IU UOprove what is asserted boldly and in general terms to the disadvantage of others In such we can suspend our judgment until we obtain the information accessary to fonn a correct opinion. Such has been roy position in regard to the colored people of the South, and I resolved, on the drat opwrtunity that presented itself, to ml: them and udge for myself.

Experience taught me to disbelieve many things sohl- against them, both on account of the source whence they proceed-M, and tbo unworthy contempt and tmchrisUan hatred manifested toward that oppressed people. Before emancipation, we were told they were not fit tor freedom, rmt we were never told when they would be-flt. A person is not fit to read nutU he learns, nor to practice most callings tIU bo Is taught. 1 remember an aged clergyman who, in speaking against their freedom, used to say, with great, gravity and show of wisdom, A person had not ought to go Into the water till he fcnows how to It was sad to see his Juniors laughing at the obstinate stupidity and prejudice of age, and yet they were saobaUnatelr stupid that he was, or any one could be. And now.

after all the observations I cooM make and all the information 1 cjwid get, 1 have no hesitation In saying that they will use the Cnnchisejost as inteUtgently as the same class of persons In New I was once very well satisfied with freedom for the colored people without the right to vote. Hot an esteemed friend convinced roe that they conidnotwtthoutlt protect themselves in their rights. Now lam satisfied that the franchise is absolutely necessary lor them, and that. In a republican government, it is more necessary for the poor man than it is for the rich, it mates him respect himself, and mates others respect him Without it, that deference which soothes the bard lot of toil would not be paid him. The statesman, the lawyer, the divine, and the politician, would never erect their rostrums in too slums of oar cities, and become the schoolmasters of the laboring classes.

If they had not the right to vote. Be- fore ft was predicted that the negroes would come North and take a war the employment id the whites. But they did not come, ana yet the falsity of the prediction did not atop the months of the prophets of evU. They next foretold that they would not work, and that we would be taxed to eopport them In Idleness. Well, If they bad a little Idleness tor the rears of tod during which they supported and kept others In idleness, It would be only a compensation, and 1 would like to see a little of If only to show how it was enjoyed.

Bat the fact la, that most of the labor done here Is performed by them, and they arc just as willing other peopio to do an honest work for fair wages. if treated kindly and paid fairly, we thonld hear very Uttlo of those troubles between employer and employed which annoy us so much os tbe North, and which tend to disturb tho otherwise aspect of South. If living permanently at the Sooth, I would not wish for a more industrious, respectful and obedient laboring people. They are as capable as any other poor.pcople of learning any trade that may be taught them. There are even now, many rery good carpenters, brlcktayirr and blacksmiths among them.

Wc constantly bear people talking of their and yet I end them equally as Intelligent with the came class of pfbplc at the North, or as the laboring population of the Old World, it la true that most of them cannot either reader write. Dot could this be expected when It was so a crime to teach them, os it was for them to leant Thank Godl It Is so no longer. They ore now pretty well supplied with good schools, which ore well attended; and the testimony of their teachers, who are white, and many of them natives of the South, is. that the children ore as docile, smart and intelligent as the some class of white children. If the had been educated, the children, of coarse would have greater facilities and helps in learning 1 understand that the Freedmen's Bureau to be continued some time longer for educational purposes, and I am very glad of It; for then the education of the colored people will be placed bevond the possibility of a failure.

I spent a few days a town here of a popalaaon of more than 6,000 In which there is no school for white children. This shows bow education has been attended to in the past Who that lives his end, would not be glad common enemy education, morality and I dealt it some blows and helped to it. Bat is it not shameful for men to -caU the blacks Ignorant when they did they coold to- keep them ta Ignorance Would It not be cruel to degfOde a man, and then to upbraid, him with his degradation? Would It sot be heartless to rob a man, and then to reproach him with his povertv Would it not be shameful to strip a of everything, and then to Iscgh at nakedness The English prohibited by law the education of the Irtia. and then called them The Anglo- Saxon race in the slave States did the same totac negroes, and the Irish approved and sustained It. Uow strange! But oppression does not teach Justice and fair play even to the oppressed, and tyranny la the worst school that man was ever Disced In, to learn the virtues that onght to adorn manhood.

I waa told befo.el left home that the negroes were anxious to return to their masters. ami to get back again Into slavery.

Persons who predictions about the dying out of the colored people have, I suspect, very little confidences their theory of the superiority of Anglo-Saxon or icaalan blood; for, Jodglngfrotn their complexlons, the colored population hare a great deal of Anglo-Saxon blood tn their retort and, judging from their names. 1 would say tacj had a good deal of Celtic blood In them.

was found standing agatut tbe wad, with Wade and a portion of the handle covered witn blood. The kitchen contained a range, anil an examination revealed the fact that the tire had been newly laid but not lighted; both Uds and the centre pieces of the range were removed. A further examination of the back parlor or dining-room, adjoining the revealed a table spread for a meal that had evidently been partaken of. A lounge, stationed against the wall nearest the kitchen, pillow, the case of which was covered with blood, and a small counterpane lay on It which also contained hiLv-L On the carpet, near the head of the lounge, was a small pool of congealed blood, and It was evident of the children, probably the little girl, was lying on the lounge she was struck in the head with an axe, after her mother had slaughtered, and the body carried Into the km-tu-a and Uld near the mother, where It was foun by the policeman. A cWUdW high chair was standing against the table in the dlamg-rocxa, and on it was found tbe frock and petticoats of the girt, so pl.nv as to convey the Idea that she had been 1 there and slipped from the clothgs.

leaving tiicui on the seat of the chair. The general appearance of the dining-room was such as to convey the Impression supper had been partaken of, and tbe faailv reared to rett, leaving things to be cleared up before breakfast, tn the morning. Noihlnjrunuatl was observed in the front mom, or parlor adjoining the dining-room. The entire appearance of the premises gave evidence of coax. fort and domestic content tefore the terrible trage-Idy occurred.

The room was well furnlaheil, and It was evident that the chlMren were well care-1 for, as plenty of toys lay scattered around; a hanilsotne child's coach was placed, in a corner In the and two or three children's chairs were the rooms. A number of handsome pictures decorated the walls of the parlor and dining-room, an I in the latter was an excellent book-case, containing a large number of religious, historical, and other works of a standard character, such only as would be used by a man of education and Christian principles. That the murdered woman wia well educated was apparent from the fact that a framed certificate in the parlor showed Her to be. a graduate of tho Young Ladles' Collegiate Institute at New Haven. sod that she bad merged the first tumora, forexcenence InscholorahliNlnthestuilyofEnghan cntni-osillna and algebra.

This certificate was dated Term of Au examination of tbe upper part of the bouse disclosed well-furnished bed-rooms and many valusl.lcs. Twoor three gold watches were fount, and a number of gold bracelets, Ac. one or the bracelets contained a photograph of fixe husband of lie murdered woman, on a mantel up-stairs, two half bricks were found, and on tbe wan near them was a handsome colored picture shattered to pieces. The supper-table, in the dining-room, was nicely set with napkins rolled in sliver napkinrings, and other things in accordance. It is entirely evident that the triple murder vu committed with the axe found In the kitchen, and that the murderer was Mr.

Blackhton, the hii-iami and father of the victims, and that immediately after the commission of tbe fiendish act he proceeded to street wharf and threw himself overboard and was drowned. The horrible hcry took place at an early bour on Hondo morning, and the next-door neighbors state ibr' trey beard Hr. Mm. biai ktston in convcrs-iMon, shortly after 6 on Monday morning, and a dull heaw sound was heard shortly afterwards, but it did not excite any suspicion at the ttme. After the murderer had finished his work he left tbe house, and nothing of him Is known unci about nine on Monday morning when he Jumped into the river at the locality mentioned, and put an end to his miserable existence.

Meu- Oon of this drowning case was made in TuesdsrM Jnnntrrr, and also tbe fact that the upon the wharf a handkerchief market Ilia body was gnbaoqnentlj recovered, and about six last evening it was conveyed to his late residence and placed in a coffin near his murdered remains. The name attached to the telegraph emt to Mr Fonslos, from Madison, is the father of the murdered woman. lt appears that directly after the fearful deed, or possibly while he had It lo contemplation, Hiacklston wrote a letter lo Mr. Lee. telling him that he had murdered his wife and children, and hence the telegraph, asking tafoonaflon la relation to the matter.

Both the murdered woman and her snlclds husband are very respectably connected la Connecticut, and were both In Rood circumstances as for as worldly goods were concerned. The theory of the murder la that Mrs. Blackiston rose on Monday morning early, and proceeded down to get breakfast, and while she waa in the act of mating a fire, her husband stepped quietly behind her and dealt her the fatal blow with the axe, which be had concealed for the purpose. lie then went Into the dining-room and mardered the little girl who was probably asleep at the lime on the kmnge, haring been placed there br her mother, and threw her body on the floor, near her mother. The boy Lee probably heard the noise, and came down stairs la his n'trhtclothea, to see what was the matter, when hewas struck in the head with the axe, and thrown alongside of his sister.

is stated that Blackiston was seen about eight o'clock on Monday morning, in the BtreetsTbr some policemen, acting tn a very suspicious manner. but hewas aoproached he ran off, shortly afterwards drowned himself. It Is also stated that he made a transfer of so mo property to a real estate agent on Monday morning. but the story needs cvafirmatloa. Blackiston was about purchasing a piece of property on Olranl avenue, and very recently told nS landlord, Mr.

Coalmen, that he Could not get the money necessary to make the purchase. He exported to receive It through his wife, bat failed, and he said he would have to take the house on Joason street on a lease for another year, which waa agreed to by Mr. Conlsoo, and he paid month rent tn advance. A family Bible was found In the bookcase In the dining-room, from which our reporter gleaned the Information that James Blackiston E. Lee were married August so, 1567.

Mr. iston, the murderer and suicide, was born on Sftb of August, 1531. Lee HlacklstDO, the murdered boy, was bom April ifi, 196 Catharine BUckiston, the murdered girt, waa bom, January 23. and Mrs. BlacklaCoo.

About fourteen months ago he sold a farm, tn Connecticut, and came to this ettv to enter Into the gliding business.

He was a correct m.tq tn every respect, a kind husband, and affectionate father. He waa born In Brantford, Conn. Mr.Fnnstonwas recently told by Mrs. Blackiston insanity was hereditary In her husband's familr, aai this loftnnatlon was brought out from the fact that the two bid some conversation about the depression JPUlta noticed in Mr. Blackiston recently, and which aroscauscd by some business troubles.
