The Temple of .Justice for tin
past week has been without in
cident,[dn a state of "innocuou
disquietude,"' save the sum nan,
trial and conviction of one, Ran
som Brown, of ebony hue. Ran
sim's otTence was petit larceny
having appropriated a brass rin<
to his own use, the .property of i
peddler woman, kittling from tlx
cimie or distant Italy. While
tl peddleress was vending hei
w ires, Ransom transgressed the
eighth commandment. The (lis
covery of the theft, conatderabl}
excited tho peddleress. However,
hor excitement was ?juickly transfigured
to u soene more tranquil,
when a valiant knight of knowr
chivalry appeared and vociferously
championed her cause,?approached
tho thief -recovered tht
brass. Ransom under the ser-viellanee
of this knight, was,
without hindrance, or delay conducted
to tho Temple of .Justice,
charges preferred,- arrangement
had and trial entered into. Ransom
pleaded in bar to tho offense,
his reputation, as one of unimjieachablo
rectitude. Tho valiant
knight, acting solicitor, replied
that. Ransom TVuu i-r?rmta<l a m.n
stitutional thief witb a hankering
for the goods and chatties of
others, and that moral philosophy
was an unknown science in the
affairs of Ransom, and thnt Ran~
som was not an ordinary thfef,
but had acquired a scientific proticiehcy-?could
with all certainty
^ and ease steal the soul oht of ' a
J
dead mule and never puncture the ?
hide. Ilis Honor, with com w
mcnsurate dignity, pronounced the *
fatal word "Guilty" whereupon ^
a radiance sublime electrified the J
countenance of the valiant knight, ^
-i
while gay and festive smiles in '
profusion and leap frog fashion
cajiered o'er the "face illumined" y
from ear to ear. Ransom got five
dollars, or thirty days. Lancas- ^

Washington, Aug 11 ?An order I
forbidding the delivery of all *'
mail matter was today issued .
against Isaac L Welton, the ex- ia
slave assembly, Madison, Ark., m
4 I
on the charge of operating
through the mails a scheme devised
for obtaining money under *>c
false and fraudulent pretenses. ^
r\f
The department states that
"Welton is an ex-slave who is at
the head of an alleged imaginary
organization having for its pans a
law granting ex-slaves pension*.
rho first remittance required of he
the members of this organization *r'
w I
was 25 cents, and it apjienra that
12,381 negroes, from the southern y{
States principally, have remitted Rn
that amount. Although this N<
money was to start a fund for the ev
object above noted, not one cent
of it can now be accounted for by
the managers of the scheme." ^
