DACOTAH TCKKllUKV, In a lato issua wo had a pamsmph in relation to tho opening up of this prospective Territory, its boundarioii, and thu ruso of speculators to seizo upon its broad fertilo acres as soon as oirered for salo, Tho Philadelphia Korth Amrrican, of Vednoaday,contains an article on tho same subject, incorporating some facts which may bo interesting to our readers. Wo quote as follows : In repeating an item of news relative to the passage of tho first steamboat up tho Big Sioux river, wo were lately led into an error by tho loose wording of a paragraph in an Iowa paper. Tho river in question constitutes the boundary between the State of Iowa and the inchoato territory of Dacliotah as far north as tho parallel of latitude which forms the southern boundary of Minnesota. But tho western limit fixed by the enabling act of Congress for tho new Stale of Minnesota is not the Big Si oux river, being formed by a line dropped south from tho termination of Lake T ravers to tho Iowa line. This leaves the river entirely within tho new territory of Dacotah, with a considerable strip of territory between it and the Minnesota lino. That strip is as yet included within tho land districts of Minnesota. Taking advantage of this fact, a number of the keon land speculators at St. Paul havo entered for pre emption largo tracts of land lying along- tho river, and there they havo laid out seven unbuilt towns to form tho nucleus of settlement as soon as the gov ernment organization takes placo. 'With the Pembina district at tho north, and these new efforts at tho south, thcro are thus two re gions already opened at Dacotah. A statement still moro important appears in a St. Paul paper, in reference to this wild re gion. It is published by a Democratic organ on what it considers reliable authority, and is to tho cfl'ect that it is vory probable a treaty w'M bo negotiated this summer between the government and tho Yankton Sioux, for the purchase of tho extensive country lying bo-tivcan tho Missouri and Big Sioux rivers, and tho forty-fifth parallel of latitude This is thu southernmost portion of Dacotah, and is in tho same latitudo with southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and Nebraska. The rivr at Jaqucs, which flows through tho centre ol this district, is much larger than tho Big Sioux, and twico as long. Its valley will be sought for purposes of settlement as soon as an opportunity shall bo airordod. But the greatest benclit to ariso from the proposed purchase will be tho opening of tho valley ol tho Missouri river. No ono acquainted with tho peculiar enterprise of tho western pioneers can doubt that this great valley will swarm with adventurers and towns, and population beforo many years shall elapse. Eo President Pierce's Sccnml Failure. It is well known thai Mr. Pierce's Presidential career was a failure, and i; seems a second failure has overtakon him in a less important matter, howevor, than tho former. It is an humorous incident related by the Salem (Mass.) Register, and is too good to be lost. It is as follows : Tho qiiUimno havo been qtiito merry fora few days, over a funny incident which happened to Ex-President Pierce, in this city, last week. When tho distinguished gentle-man c.itno here to call upon his friend Dr. Loring, ho went to ono of tho livery stable, to procuro a team to take him over to the Doctor's farm. He was accordingly furnished with ono of tho best animals in tho stable, and jumping into the vehicle, gathered up thu reins for a fair start. The mare, howover, as tho story goes, which had never beforo manifested any obstinacy or viciousncss, orill turn-por, happening to look around, on getting into i ho street, and to see that Frank Piorce was in tho vehicle, determined that theEx-Prcsi-dent was too great a load for her to carry, and stubbornly refused to budgo an inch. No persuasion or forco could induco her to stmt, and she was actually taken beck to the stable and another animal substituted. By a singu lar coincidence, tho maro has always been known by tho name of Topsy. But this is not the end of Tonsy's perform ances, bhortl v after this rvc nrrcnrn a vnnnir Republican wanted a horse for a short tour around tho city, and, the an mo maro being given to him, she started oft kindly, without any show of repugnance. But on her return, being delivered to a Custom-House officer, waouesirea to ioiiow in me track or the Ex-President to tho Doctor's farm, she strain atul,. bornly refused to go, but made Dot tha lonat objection to the Republican, who nee more tried her toniptr. Topgy'g sagacity is now established beyond all question. ftjT Col. Preston, late democratic member of Congress from Louisville, Ky., is on trial for brawling and rioting at tho polls, and drawing a loaded ravoltor opon certain nn- jtlcmcn oppotcJ to b'.m in politic How tii ii' tii-iiiiui i:i ii)ii vn IR-cidud by l uio lu Flitla-tlHplilu.Tho Now York Tn'mne, of Monday, says : Tho lato Presidential Election was virtually decided, and tho election of Buchanan so-cured, by tho result of the State Election in Pennsylvania on the second Tuesday in October lust. That result was produced by money contributed in this City and expended in Pennsylvania just before tho election. Had tho vote been tttkon two weeks earlier Buchanan would have lost the State by fromJivo to ten thousand majority. His leading supporters knew it was against them when they camo hero and pressed our Pro-Slavery bunkers, brokers and olllco holders into giving mem tno requisite nuincy wherewith to reverse the popular verdict. And thoy know now that Mr. Buchauan was made President by that levy. At that election, Philadelphia was made to give a Buchanan majority of 3,435 tho vote lorutnni uoinniissioiier standing, Scott (IJuch) 30.038; I'ochriiiio (Union Opp) 32.UU3. And this Buchanan majority in the city was more than thu ticket obtained in tho State', tho total vote standing Scott, 212.880'; Cochrane, 210,111; Scott's majority, 2775. Thus outside of Philadelphia, in spile of the universality of the frauds whereof that city was the focus, Cochrane had a clear majority of 060 votes. The frauds in Philadelphia were so gross that William B. Mann, tho Opposition candidate for District Attorney, who was beaten in tho vote polled by Lewis C. Cassidy, tho Buchanan candidate, resolved to contest the return beforo tho higher Courts of Unit city. The case has at length lieen brought to issue, and on Saturday Julgc Tlumton delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court, ousting Mr. Casiidy an I affirming the e'erfion of Mr. Mann. The investigation on which ilia decision was based was extended to but eight of the hundred or moro polls held throughout the city, these sulliuiiig to prove Mr. Mann's election, but the defense were at perfect liberty to extend tho scrutiny to any orall other polls These polls returned 2,620 for Cassidy to C05 for Maim, while tho whole nnmborol taxable (.synonymous with legal voters) in the districts in which these polls were held was but 1,717, or 0O3 less than Cassidy's vote alone! Of the illegal vote, it was proved on (he trial that at least 1,108 must havo been cast for Cassidy, reducing his returned vote from 34,-475 to 33,307. and electing Mr. Mann by 518 majority. This being practically as good us ten thousand, Mr. Mann had no inutivu for in creasing tho expense of the contest by gi ing lurtlier, or no miglit Uoublless havo proved thousands moro of his opponent's votes as bad as these 1,108. Aim's Joi' of Dir. uituirr. raynrd Taylor, writing from London, by the Asia, relates the following incident in his last letter to tho Ti ih'ine: Mr. Sumner is here, at Maurigy's hotel, in Regent street. I have not seen him, but some friends tell mo he is looking very well. No American has ever been more popular in England than Mr. Stimnur, and he is at present floating on the top wave of London soe'ety. 1 heard the other day n good story of Ins arrival hero. He entered his namcon thu books as simply Mr. Sumner, Boston, and was accordingly set down by tho host and his llun-kies as an ordinary traveler. The next morning one of the latter cumo to Mr. Sumner's room in soino excitement, and said : ' Lord Brougham is down stitirs, sir, asking for you." To the waiter's amazement, Mr. S. quietly said, without exhibiting tho least surprise : " Very well, show him up 1 " Not long afterward the former came, still moro excited : "Sir, the Lord Chief Justice has called, and ho nsks for you ! " " Show him up." was again tho cool reply. After his Lordship had departed tho waiter came once more, bewil dered and a little aggravated: "Sir, Sir, the Lord Chancellor ol Lngland has called to see you!" "bnow linn up," ropcatud Jlr. Sum ner, lheso astonishing facts were no doubt at once communicated to the landlord, for the next day's Mining J'oit announced tho arrival of "His Excellency tho Honorable Mr. Sumner," at Maurigy's Hotel. The luteal lrgnl Dodge. Tho law has always been notod for its quirks and quibbles, professionally termed "technicalities," but additional cause is given for this reputation in the turning of a very sharp corner in a recent criminal caso in Chi cago, a mnn namcu ueorgo lieeu was arrest-od for passing counterfeiting money. It was proven ly Lueu lialihvin, a cigar vender m tho Brkiis House, that Uued gave him a $10 counterfeit, City Bank of New Haven, ft $10 counterfeit, Seneca County Hank, and a So counterfeit. Unadilla Bank, in exchango for genuino western bills, as Mr. Baldwin wished eastern money. It was apparently a close case for ltecd, but ho proved himself to havo io V 11 tho bills from a comrade, thus showing that ho supinscd them to bo good, and it was no larceny at all, as the law docs not consider counterfeit bills in tho light of property. So the thief got frco after refunding to Mr. Baldwin his money, while Matthews, his comrade, is held for having the bills in the first instance. Dili ii is AIKii'k Sword. Col. Eilnn Allen's grnndaughter resides at Toint, Ottawa county, Michigan. She has in her possession tho identical sword with which tho Colonel backed up his demand for tho stirrcndcr of Ticonderoga " in tho name of tho Great Jehovah and tho Continental Congress." Tho sword is an old fashioned ono. Tho plato is twenty-seven inches in length and slightly curved ; length of handle seven inches, making ho entire length of the weapon thirty-lour inches. Tho handle is of bone or horn. The mounting is of silver, but was washed with gold whilo worn by Captain Allen to match his uniform. Tho gold is now partially worn oir. A dog's head of silvor forms tho end of tho handle, and Irom this to tho guard runs a silver chain. On ono of tho silver bands of the scabbaid the naino Ethan Allen is engraved in largo letters, on another, E. Brasher, makor, New York, and nn still another, in script, " Martin Vosburg, 1755. The Verdict of Scotch Juries. The law of Scotland permits tho jury to render one of thrco verdicts "Guilty," "Not Guilty" and "Not Proven." Tho latter is a sort of compromise between the former j it means that the ugh the jury may believe or suspect the prisoner to be guilty of tho offense charged, they do not And the offence so fully proven as to warrant a verdict of guilty. It is generally supposed that a prisoner who has been set at large on a verdict of " not provan," may bo tried again, if new fots are diseovored; but we believe this is erroneous. Tbo object of thia verdict U merely to relieve a eonneien-tioua jury from being obliged to say under oath that the prisoner is " not guilty," particularly when a conviction has been ectptd enljr through a reasonable doubt. A SOLEMN QUESTION. In tho Independent of April 10, Dr. Chccv or speaking of tho denial, by tho Judges of tho Stipreiiii' Jourt, to the colored man, of tho possession t.'any rights that white men are bound to respect, says : A solemn question, indeed, it is, whether there is virtue enough, regard to God enough, experienced power of his word enough, bo-ncvolenco enough, justice enough, an indignation at an outraged justice, to purge oil' this iniquity, to repel, rebuke, and annihilate this mighty wrong. Was ever tho sacred seat of justice so polluted ? All tho unjust decisions in the wholo history of Great Brituin are feo-bio, inell'ectual, evanescent, contracted, compared with this, which concentrates such deliberate impiety against both God nml man, Now that this monstrous crimo has been, if the pcoplo permit it, naturalized, now that it has been judicially baptized with the sacred ness of the Constitution, as l he lirst-born child of freedom, and so our freedom itself baptized as a pirato, what remains for us but to throw ourselves upon tho word of God ? Here wo stand. This is our last citadel. The blood rushes to thu heart. If there bo strength enough to send it back with new life through tho system, we are safe. If not, wo are lost, and we go down moro ingloriously, moro basely, than over any nation under heaven did. Tho Judge has occupied tho Constitution as a Border llullian, with the decision that tho African race omong us aro to bo regarded only as property ; that they are (it for nothing but slaves, a' d havo no rights that white men are bound to respect. Let now the insulted Christianity of our churches rise in its majesty, and in the name of Ood condemn and repudi ate this di cadlul r ing. l.H the churches hde the position that the claim of property in man is sin, and consequently that no sluvehnl.ler, per sisting in it, can projy-rlj bi a lmittel to the Christian Chunk. Let (Jo t's word he applied. Lrt the ministry everywhirs speak out. If they had tlone this fr 7ii the beginning, this tnvicii- aous in iquity rt judgment never could have been perpetrated. And the" ministry would have spoken, if tho chinches had encouraged and permitted it, if conservative Christians had not kept them bound. But they havo followed the lend of (heir people instead of leading them. They have trembled beforo their people, and when they havo ventured a stealthy word of admonition, it has been in such a partial, pitiful, apologizing way, as if they had been stealing sheep instead of feeding them. They have been muzzled by their con gregations, nnd forsooth have asked theircon-grogiUions how tiuieh nnd what thoy should say, instead of telling their congregations from irou wnat no commands them, both pastor and peoplo, to think and do. BfitiiliTiil Scjitiiiti-iit. Shortly after tho departure of the lamented Ileber for India, ho preached a sermon which contained this beautiful illustration : -'Life bears us on liko tho stream of a mighty river. Our boat at first elides down tlio narrow channel through tho playful murmuring of this littlo brook, and thu winding of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads, the llowers on the brink seem to oiler themselves to our young hands ; we are in hope, and wo grasp eagerly at thu beauties around us but the stream hurries us on, and still our hands aro empty. Our courso in youth and manhood is along a wilder and deeper flood, and amid objects more striking and magnificent. Wo aro animated at the moving pictures of enjoyment and industry passing us; we aro excited at some short-lived disappointment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us. Wo may be shipwrecked, but wo cannot bo delayed ; whether rough or smooth, tho river hastens to its home, till tho roar of tho ocean is in our ears, and tho tossing of tho waves is beneath our feet, and the floods aro lifted up all around us, and wo tko our leave from earth and its inhabitants, until of our further voyago thero is no witness, save tho Inlinito and" tho Eternal ! " American Slavery. Could tho "simple annals" of American slaves bo given to tho world, tho record would astonish Christendom. Tho Now York Times recontly published a two column history of a slave's struggles for freedom, struggles that would immortalizo an Anglo-Saxon. We have only room for an epitomo. Tlio subject of this history, whose original name was Tal-len, was taken from Africa by a Spanish slavor, when only twelvo years old. Tho slaver was captured by n British brig-of-war, when Tab len was sent on lioard tho British brig Poacnck, to servo as n cabin boy during tho war of 181,1. When tho Peacock was sunk by tho American schooner Hornet, in 1815, 'fallen was sent a prisoner of war to Savannah, Ga., where a party got control of him, forwarded n report to Washington that he was dead, and sold him into slavery. After upwards of forty years' servitude, during which timo ho purchased his freedom thrice, ho at last has escaped from bondage, and now, claiming to bo British subject, seeks indemnity at tho hands of tlioso held him who have so long and so unjustly in servitude Cleveland JcraU. Momky Hoarded. According to tho Treasury estimates, (hero aro in this country ubout $250,W,COO in gold of which little more than a fifth is in the banks leaving little short of $200,aiO,000 to bo found elsewhere. 1 ho 1 rcasury hoards very commonly from twenty to twenty-five millions leaving prob ably $175,000,000 to Iss sought among tho pcoplo. Allowing uO,O0O,000 ahberal estimate to bo in actual iiso, thcro remains 125,000,000, which is hoarded by tho people. in imitation of the Government, and to an ex- tont six times exceeding tho Treasury. The Egyptians on the Declaration. The New doctrine of tho Slavo Democracy regarding tho Declaration of Independence, is popular among tho Egyptians of Illinois. Tho Charleston (IU.( Courier says : " On the 4th of Julv. ten or a Aman mnn collected in a group, when Mr. Harr read tho Usclaration of independence. When ho camo to that passago which speaks of all men as having been created equal, they anid it was a damned abolition document, and that Stophon A.

Both praco and glory have been left by will, to tho Christian by his elder Brother ; and yet few so well know where to find his will, nnd how to read it, as did a little Irish boy, who, one day going to school witlt a Bible undor his arm, was mut by a priest, who asked him whut book ho had there. " It is a will, sir," said tho boy. " What will ?" asked tho priest. n,,.i V T n ' , :, ' , , T- Christ left to mo, and to all who wish to chum a titlo to the property theroiu left," said the boy. "A kingdom, sir." " Where does that kingdom lie ? " " It is tho kingduin of heaven, sir." "And doyou expect to reign as king there?'' " Yes, sir, as a joint heir with Christ." " And will not overy person get thero as well as you ? " " No, sir ; nono can get there but those that claim their title to that kingdom upon the ground of the will." J ho priest who spoko to tho boy was one who daily read the liiblo himself, and wished children to go to schools whore it is read, which most ol tlio priests opposo ; ho wns so much pleased with the boy's answer, that ho said : " Indeed, you are a uood little boy : take care of that Book in which Ood gives you such ...,..! . : i .i: ...i ... i. -i ?; .a "": E " ' " "r .. .,.UJUu m uo nappy ncre uuu jiereaiicr."

"Aunty," said a littlo girl, " I belivo I havo found a new key to unlock people's hearts, and inako thun so willing; for you know, aunty, God took my father and my mother nnd they want people to bo kind to their poor little daughter." " What is tho koy ? " asked aunty. " It is only ono little word guess what ?" But aunty was no guesser. "It is please," said tho littlo child, "Aunty it is please. If I ask ono of the great girls in school, " please show mo my lesson ? " slio says, "Oh yes," and helps me.

" Oh yon look and smile just like mother, and that is tho best of all." cried tho litllu girl, throwing her arms around her aunty's neck, neck, with a tear in her oyo. Perhaps other children would like to know about this key ; and I hope they will use it also, for thero is a great power in the small kind of courtesies of life. Moro I'S'iirls. The Buckeye State, published at Now Lis bon, Ohio, says: "Messrs. 1!. A. and J. W. Britton have for several weeks been engaged in looking for pearls in our creek, and they seem to havo inado a lucky hit more than a hundred of theso valuable gems being now in tho possession of thosa gontlemen. Oncol theso pearls, though not of largo size, possesses extraordinary brilliancy and beauty, and has been pronounced by Cleveland jewellers to bo worth from four to five hundred dollars.

A ResignationA ChallengeA Noble Chmnnion. Judgo Wilmot has resigned his Judgeship and challenged General Packer to meet him on tho rostrum, there to discuss before the people tho various political topics of tho day. Let Gen. Packer accept this challenge, nnd our word for it, if ho has the intelligence it is said ho has and tho honesty which a candidate for Governorship ought to havo, ho will admit that ho has no business to bo a candidate at all in Pennsylvania, but might make a very suitablo one in another latitude. l'hih. Sun. Reaping Sermons. At tho recent session of tho Troy Conference, n controversy arose upon granting a minister a superannuated relation. Father Spicer aroso, and said that he was in favor of granting his request. Ho believed tho brother wns superannuated. Ho had learned that tho brothor had fallen into the practico of reading his sermons in tliep ilpit, and this ho regarded as good evidonco of superannuation.

Wo observe in tho Missouri Demioc'rat soma of tho first fruits of thu emancipation movo nient in that S.atc : The sales of public lands in this district, within thu last sixty days, have reached iOU, 000 acres entered almost exclusively by persons from tho free states Ohioi and FeimsvU wania being largely rcpresetitcpj njtiontf tho pirrchasers. I ho amount ol entries .exceeds1 that of tho three previous years at ilw Springfield iilfico. Our readers will recollect that tho land register at Warsaw, published in thispm per some weeks ago, that 500,000 acres had been entered in that listrict within about tho same length of time, and that the offlco was in consequence closed until further notice. About two thousand acre pordav are buinir eniorml in tho Jackson district. At Palmyra (hera aro only, wo uro informed, alxut 50,000 acres of government land now subject to entry. In thu northwestern part of the State, em igrants are crowding in from Iowa, whors tho lands havo become too high for actual settlers to purchase. Thoy havo consequently turned their attention to Missouri, whoro lands at reduced prices can bo had, and n Wilder climnto, and a more fertilo soil olfor greater inducements to farmers. Tho prospect of Missouri becoming ft free state is a settled conviction in the minds of the people of the north, and to this significant fact wo owe the unpar-1 alieled activity in our land market." These facts, says the Now York Evming Poit are eloquent. Thoy show how promptly emigration responds to the call for free labor in tho slavo states, and how simple" fa the romody for the decaying tendencies of south-cm society. While their demagogue .aro quarreling with' every ono who will not make tho propagation of slavery the chief e ;d ef government, their lands are wearing out under a wretched and impoverishing system of culture, labor U becoino moro scurco with then, their property is depreciating, their en-terpriso is discouraged, their schools are do sorted, their newspapers stop, and finally, private and public bankruptcy is hanging like a black cloud over all tho states- imiW h m. "trot of this class of men. How suddenly is tho prospect changed in Missouri within tha short period of two years, or less, by tbo ftoa labor movements of tho rndqientlent and vie- orous band of vounir statesmen, in rehn. hands, fortunately, the future destines nftku noble stato seem about to b.' comuiittod. How to t'tliicHii! our Uti-ta, Instead of educating every girl as though sho wero born to be an independent, solf-siip. porting member of society, wa educate her to becoino a dependent, a hangr-Mi, or, as ih law delicately phrases it, a chattel. In soma respects, indeed, we err moro barbarously than those nations among w hom a plurality of wives is porniitted, and who regard women purely as so much lire stock ; for among such people women are, at all evojita providud with shelter, with food, and clothing they aro " cared "l lor, as cattle aro. There is a completeness in meh a systen. Rut among ourselves Wo treat women is eaitle, without providing for them as cattle. Wo tako the woist part of barbarism, and tho worst part of civilization, and work them into a heterogeneous whule. We bring up our women to bu dependant, ond then kav them without any one to depend on. Therfl is no one, there is nothing !br theirt fo lean upon, and they fall to tho ground. Now, what every woman, no less than every man. ahould have to depnd trpod, is un ability, af- ier some lasiuon or other, to turn labor into money, Sho way or may not bo compelled to exercise it; if to tho poorer, sho assuredly will.

From the Sandusky Rcgistor. DACOTAH TCKKllUKV, In a lato issua wo had a pamsmph in relation to tho opening up of this prospective Territory, its boundarioii, and thu ruso of speculators to seizo upon its broad fertilo acres as soon as oirered for salo, Tho Philadelphia Korth Amrrican, of Vednoaday,contains an article on tho same subject, incorporating some facts which may bo interesting to our readers. Wo quote as follows : In repeating an item of news relative to the passage of tho first steamboat up tho Big Sioux river, wo were lately led into an error by tho loose wording of a paragraph in an Iowa paper. Tho river in question constitutes the boundary between the State of Iowa and the inchoato territory of Dacliotah as far north as tho parallel of latitude which forms the southern boundary of Minnesota. But tho western limit fixed by the enabling act of Congress for tho new Stale of Minnesota is not the Big Si oux river, being formed by a line dropped south from tho termination of Lake T ravers to tho Iowa line. This leaves the river entirely within tho new territory of Dacotah, with a considerable strip of territory between it and the Minnesota lino. That strip is as yet included within tho land districts of Minnesota. Taking advantage of this fact, a number of the keon land speculators at St. Paul havo entered for pre emption largo tracts of land lying along- tho river, and there they havo laid out seven unbuilt towns to form tho nucleus of settlement as soon as the gov ernment organization takes placo. 'With the Pembina district at tho north, and these new efforts at tho south, thcro are thus two re gions already opened at Dacotah. A statement still moro important appears in a St. Paul paper, in reference to this wild re gion. It is published by a Democratic organ on what it considers reliable authority, and is to tho cfl'ect that it is vory probable a treaty w'M bo negotiated this summer between the government and tho Yankton Sioux, for the purchase of tho extensive country lying bo-tivcan tho Missouri and Big Sioux rivers, and tho forty-fifth parallel of latitude This is thu southernmost portion of Dacotah, and is in tho same latitudo with southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and Nebraska. The rivr at Jaqucs, which flows through tho centre ol this district, is much larger than tho Big Sioux, and twico as long. Its valley will be sought for purposes of settlement as soon as an opportunity shall bo airordod. But the greatest benclit to ariso from the proposed purchase will be tho opening of tho valley ol tho Missouri river. No ono acquainted with tho peculiar enterprise of tho western pioneers can doubt that this great valley will swarm with adventurers and towns, and population beforo many years shall elapse. Eo President Pierce's Sccnml Failure. It is well known thai Mr. Pierce's Presidential career was a failure, and i; seems a second failure has overtakon him in a less important matter, howevor, than tho former. It is an humorous incident related by the Salem (Mass.) Register, and is too good to be lost. It is as follows : Tho qiiUimno havo been qtiito merry fora few days, over a funny incident which happened to Ex-President Pierce, in this city, last week. When tho distinguished gentle-man c.itno here to call upon his friend Dr. Loring, ho went to ono of tho livery stable, to procuro a team to take him over to the Doctor's farm. He was accordingly furnished with ono of tho best animals in tho stable, and jumping into the vehicle, gathered up thu reins for a fair start. The mare, howover, as tho story goes, which had never beforo manifested any obstinacy or viciousncss, orill turn-por, happening to look around, on getting into i ho street, and to see that Frank Piorce was in tho vehicle, determined that theEx-Prcsi-dent was too great a load for her to carry, and stubbornly refused to budgo an inch. No persuasion or forco could induco her to stmt, and she was actually taken beck to the stable and another animal substituted. By a singu lar coincidence, tho maro has always been known by tho name of Topsy. But this is not the end of Tonsy's perform ances, bhortl v after this rvc nrrcnrn a vnnnir Republican wanted a horse for a short tour around tho city, and, the an mo maro being given to him, she started oft kindly, without any show of repugnance. But on her return, being delivered to a Custom-House officer, waouesirea to ioiiow in me track or the Ex-President to tho Doctor's farm, she strain atul,. bornly refused to go, but made Dot tha lonat objection to the Republican, who nee more tried her toniptr. Topgy'g sagacity is now established beyond all question. ftjT Col. Preston, late democratic member of Congress from Louisville, Ky., is on trial for brawling and rioting at tho polls, and drawing a loaded ravoltor opon certain nn- jtlcmcn oppotcJ to b'.m in politic How tii ii' tii-iiiiui i:i ii)ii vn IR-cidud by l uio lu Flitla-tlHplilu.Tho Now York Tn'mne, of Monday, says : Tho lato Presidential Election was virtually decided, and tho election of Buchanan so-cured, by tho result of the State Election in Pennsylvania on the second Tuesday in October lust. That result was produced by money contributed in this City and expended in Pennsylvania just before tho election. Had tho vote been tttkon two weeks earlier Buchanan would have lost the State by fromJivo to ten thousand majority. His leading supporters knew it was against them when they camo hero and pressed our Pro-Slavery bunkers, brokers and olllco holders into giving mem tno requisite nuincy wherewith to reverse the popular verdict. And thoy know now that Mr. Buchauan was made President by that levy. At that election, Philadelphia was made to give a Buchanan majority of 3,435 tho vote lorutnni uoinniissioiier standing, Scott (IJuch) 30.038; I'ochriiiio (Union Opp) 32.UU3. And this Buchanan majority in the city was more than thu ticket obtained in tho State', tho total vote standing Scott, 212.880'; Cochrane, 210,111; Scott's majority, 2775. Thus outside of Philadelphia, in spile of the universality of the frauds whereof that city was the focus, Cochrane had a clear majority of 060 votes. The frauds in Philadelphia were so gross that William B. Mann, tho Opposition candidate for District Attorney, who was beaten in tho vote polled by Lewis C. Cassidy, tho Buchanan candidate, resolved to contest the return beforo tho higher Courts of Unit city. The case has at length lieen brought to issue, and on Saturday Julgc Tlumton delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court, ousting Mr. Casiidy an I affirming the e'erfion of Mr. Mann. The investigation on which ilia decision was based was extended to but eight of the hundred or moro polls held throughout the city, these sulliuiiig to prove Mr. Mann's election, but the defense were at perfect liberty to extend tho scrutiny to any orall other polls These polls returned 2,620 for Cassidy to C05 for Maim, while tho whole nnmborol taxable (.synonymous with legal voters) in the districts in which these polls were held was but 1,717, or 0O3 less than Cassidy's vote alone! Of the illegal vote, it was proved on (he trial that at least 1,108 must havo been cast for Cassidy, reducing his returned vote from 34,-475 to 33,307. and electing Mr. Mann by 518 majority. This being practically as good us ten thousand, Mr. Mann had no inutivu for in creasing tho expense of the contest by gi ing lurtlier, or no miglit Uoublless havo proved thousands moro of his opponent's votes as bad as these 1,108. Aim's Joi' of Dir. uituirr. raynrd Taylor, writing from London, by the Asia, relates the following incident in his last letter to tho Ti ih'ine: Mr. Sumner is here, at Maurigy's hotel, in Regent street. I have not seen him, but some friends tell mo he is looking very well. No American has ever been more popular in England than Mr. Stimnur, and he is at present floating on the top wave of London soe'ety. 1 heard the other day n good story of Ins arrival hero. He entered his namcon thu books as simply Mr. Sumner, Boston, and was accordingly set down by tho host and his llun-kies as an ordinary traveler. The next morning one of the latter cumo to Mr. Sumner's room in soino excitement, and said : ' Lord Brougham is down stitirs, sir, asking for you." To the waiter's amazement, Mr. S. quietly said, without exhibiting tho least surprise : " Very well, show him up 1 " Not long afterward the former came, still moro excited : "Sir, the Lord Chief Justice has called, and ho nsks for you ! " " Show him up." was again tho cool reply. After his Lordship had departed tho waiter came once more, bewil dered and a little aggravated: "Sir, Sir, the Lord Chancellor ol Lngland has called to see you!" "bnow linn up," ropcatud Jlr.

The luteal lrgnl Dodge. Tho law has always been notod for its quirks and quibbles, professionally termed "technicalities," but additional cause is given for this reputation in the turning of a very sharp corner in a recent criminal caso in Chi cago, a mnn namcu ueorgo lieeu was arrest-od for passing counterfeiting money. It was proven ly Lueu lialihvin, a cigar vender m tho Brkiis House, that Uued gave him a $10 counterfeit, City Bank of New Haven, ft $10 counterfeit, Seneca County Hank, and a So counterfeit.

It was apparently a close case for ltecd, but ho proved himself to havo io V 11 tho bills from a comrade, thus showing that ho supinscd them to bo good, and it was no larceny at all, as the law docs not consider counterfeit bills in tho light of property. So the thief got frco after refunding to Mr. Baldwin his money, while Matthews, his comrade, is held for having the bills in the first instance. Dili ii is AIKii'k Sword. Col.

The Verdict of Scotch Juries. The law of Scotland permits tho jury to render one of thrco verdicts "Guilty," "Not Guilty" and "Not Proven." Tho latter is a sort of compromise between the former j it means that the ugh the jury may believe or suspect the prisoner to be guilty of tho offense charged, they do not And the offence so fully proven as to warrant a verdict of guilty. It is generally supposed that a prisoner who has been set at large on a verdict of " not provan," may bo tried again, if new fots are diseovored; but we believe this is erroneous. Tbo object of thia verdict U merely to relieve a eonneien-tioua jury from being obliged to say under oath that the prisoner is " not guilty," particularly when a conviction has been ectptd enljr through a reasonable doubt. A SOLEMN QUESTION. In tho Independent of April 10, Dr. Chccv or speaking of tho denial, by tho Judges of tho Stipreiiii' Jourt, to the colored man, of tho possession t.'any rights that white men are bound to respect, says : A solemn question, indeed, it is, whether there is virtue enough, regard to God enough, experienced power of his word enough, bo-ncvolenco enough, justice enough, an indignation at an outraged justice, to purge oil' this iniquity, to repel, rebuke, and annihilate this mighty wrong. Was ever tho sacred seat of justice so polluted ? All tho unjust decisions in the wholo history of Great Brituin are feo-bio, inell'ectual, evanescent, contracted, compared with this, which concentrates such deliberate impiety against both God nml man, Now that this monstrous crimo has been, if the pcoplo permit it, naturalized, now that it has been judicially baptized with the sacred ness of the Constitution, as l he lirst-born child of freedom, and so our freedom itself baptized as a pirato, what remains for us but to throw ourselves upon tho word of God ? Here wo stand. This is our last citadel. The blood rushes to thu heart. If there bo strength enough to send it back with new life through tho system, we are safe. If not, wo are lost, and we go down moro ingloriously, moro basely, than over any nation under heaven did. Tho Judge has occupied tho Constitution as a Border llullian, with the decision that tho African race omong us aro to bo regarded only as property ; that they are (it for nothing but slaves, a' d havo no rights that white men are bound to respect. Let now the insulted Christianity of our churches rise in its majesty, and in the name of Ood condemn and repudi ate this di cadlul r ing. l.H the churches hde the position that the claim of property in man is sin, and consequently that no sluvehnl.ler, per sisting in it, can projy-rlj bi a lmittel to the Christian Chunk. Let (Jo t's word he applied. Lrt the ministry everywhirs speak out. If they had tlone this fr 7ii the beginning, this tnvicii- aous in iquity rt judgment never could have been perpetrated. And the" ministry would have spoken, if tho chinches had encouraged and permitted it, if conservative Christians had not kept them bound. But they havo followed the lend of (heir people instead of leading them. They have trembled beforo their people, and when they havo ventured a stealthy word of admonition, it has been in such a partial, pitiful, apologizing way, as if they had been stealing sheep instead of feeding them. They have been muzzled by their con gregations, nnd forsooth have asked theircon-grogiUions how tiuieh nnd what thoy should say, instead of telling their congregations from irou wnat no commands them, both pastor and peoplo, to think and do. BfitiiliTiil Scjitiiiti-iit. Shortly after tho departure of the lamented Ileber for India, ho preached a sermon which contained this beautiful illustration : -'Life bears us on liko tho stream of a mighty river. Our boat at first elides down tlio narrow channel through tho playful murmuring of this littlo brook, and thu winding of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads, the llowers on the brink seem to oiler themselves to our young hands ; we are in hope, and wo grasp eagerly at thu beauties around us but the stream hurries us on, and still our hands aro empty. Our courso in youth and manhood is along a wilder and deeper flood, and amid objects more striking and magnificent. Wo aro animated at the moving pictures of enjoyment and industry passing us; we aro excited at some short-lived disappointment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and griefs are alike left behind us. Wo may be shipwrecked, but wo cannot bo delayed ; whether rough or smooth, tho river hastens to its home, till tho roar of tho ocean is in our ears, and tho tossing of tho waves is beneath our feet, and the floods aro lifted up all around us, and wo tko our leave from earth and its inhabitants, until of our further voyago thero is no witness, save tho Inlinito and" tho Eternal ! " American Slavery. Could tho "simple annals" of American slaves bo given to tho world, tho record would astonish Christendom. Tho Now York Times recontly published a two column history of a slave's struggles for freedom, struggles that would immortalizo an Anglo-Saxon. We have only room for an epitomo. Tlio subject of this history, whose original name was Tal-len, was taken from Africa by a Spanish slavor, when only twelvo years old. Tho slaver was captured by n British brig-of-war, when Tab len was sent on lioard tho British brig Poacnck, to servo as n cabin boy during tho war of 181,1. When tho Peacock was sunk by tho American schooner Hornet, in 1815, 'fallen was sent a prisoner of war to Savannah, Ga., where a party got control of him, forwarded n report to Washington that he was dead, and sold him into slavery. After upwards of forty years' servitude, during which timo ho purchased his freedom thrice, ho at last has escaped from bondage, and now, claiming to bo British subject, seeks indemnity at tho hands of tlioso held him who have so long and so unjustly in servitude Cleveland JcraU. Momky Hoarded.

The Egyptians on the Declaration. The New doctrine of tho Slavo Democracy regarding tho Declaration of Independence, is popular among tho Egyptians of Illinois. Tho Charleston (IU.( Courier says : " On the 4th of Julv. ten or a Aman mnn collected in a group, when Mr. Harr read tho Usclaration of independence.

Both praco and glory have been left by will, to tho Christian by his elder Brother ; and yet few so well know where to find his will, nnd how to read it, as did a little Irish boy, who, one day going to school witlt a Bible undor his arm, was mut by a priest, who asked him whut book ho had there. " It is a will, sir," said tho boy. " What will ?" asked tho priest. n,,.i V T n ' , :, ' , , T- Christ left to mo, and to all who wish to chum a titlo to the property theroiu left," said the boy.

" And will not overy person get thero as well as you ? " " No, sir ; nono can get there but those that claim their title to that kingdom upon the ground of the will." J ho priest who spoko to tho boy was one who daily read the liiblo himself, and wished children to go to schools whore it is read, which most ol tlio priests opposo ; ho wns so much pleased with the boy's answer, that ho said : " Indeed, you are a uood little boy : take care of that Book in which Ood gives you such ...,..! . : i .i: ...i ... i. -i ?; .a "": E " ' " "r .. .,.UJUu m uo nappy ncre uuu jiereaiicr."

Sun. Reaping Sermons. At tho recent session of tho Troy Conference, n controversy arose upon granting a minister a superannuated relation. Father Spicer aroso, and said that he was in favor of granting his request. Ho believed tho brother wns superannuated. Ho had learned that tho brothor had fallen into the practico of reading his sermons in tliep ilpit, and this ho regarded as good evidonco of superannuation. Perhaps, however, it was not the man, but the sermons, that wore superannuated. A'. Y. Independent. A Sham.
