'Minister Senor Lemus was found at
his residence in Brooklyn at a late hour,
but declined to recognize the character
of the officers who presen'ed the order,
and refused to be arrested.. He gAve his
parole to appear in the morning at court
and answer the oharge. The officers ac?
knowledged that they had been well paid
to make the arrest at that late hour. It
is presumed that it was intended to sub?
ject bim to the personal indignity of im?
prisonment at an hour when no court
was in, session to take cognizance of bail.
The verbrsge of tbe bond to keep the
peaoe is to be of good behavior towards I
the United States, aud refrain from any
violation of the neutrality laws or from
any breach of the peaoe of the United
States for the term of one year. The
whole proceeding was-characterized by a
degree of ruffianism and brutality un?
worthy of the fame that New Yorkers
nod Americana hold so dear. These Cu?
bans may have violated the international
law .of the country, yet, nevertheless,
they were entitled to the common privi?
leges accorded from time immemorial to
the refugees of tyranny from every clime.

THE VAIJIDITY OP OBLIGATIONS FOR
SLAVES-AN IMPORTANT DECISION.-It is
well known that tho Supreme Court of
Louisiana, iu an elaborately-reasoned
judgment, more than a year ago, decreed
that obligations founded upon property
iu slaves were invalid, in consequence of
the abolition of the institution of slavery
by the Government of the United States.
The Court, therefore, refused to enforce
the payment of such obligations. They
asserted in their decree Unit slav?ry had
never existed by law in tho United
States, but that it had been tolerated
only.
Judge Darell, of the United States
Court in this State, thinks differently,
and we do not seo how any lawyer could
como to the conclusion that a contract,
lawful when entered Into, could possibly
become nnlawfnl by any subsequent net
of the Government. Judgo Durell de?
cided, lost week, in favor of the plaintiff
in the casu of Walter L. Campbell vs. L.
F. Generes, wherein the defendant was
sued as indorser on a promissory note,
the consideration of which was for the
purchase of slaves. Tho defendant
pleaded the destruction of tho property
by act of the Government. The sum
claimed was $6,800, with 8 per cent, in?
terest from April 4, 1860, until paid.

EDITOR Jeto Bimi: I ??ad jem herewith
?n:jaxtriiQ> from, a letter lately *eo?i*?jl
from a friend residing in tho Muthera
yart of Virginia, thinking it may be in?
teresting, as showing briefly how matters
are progressing vOld Dominion?
and the views entertained of the present
political interests. The' writer is a gen?
tleman of education and wealth, and but
expresses the views and sentiments of the
whole white community-carpet-baggers
excepted. He says:
? * * For myself, I am laboring
and slaving away as usual;' uot altogether
with as much annoyance as, last year, for
I have thiugs better systematized.
Though I have my reward iu a grand
wheat crop und in continually improving
plantations, yet I pay a dear price for it
ull. I do not complain, and as new diffl
colli?!? present themselves I put forth
only thc greater effort to overcome them.
With my bauds more than full I am now
superintendent of this district, in the
conservative interest, organizing my lit?
tle band of white men to try and elect
Walker for Governor, instead of Wells,
and ulso to expurgate the odious and
diabolical constitution which is to be
subinitttcd to ns on the Cth of July.
Both of our candidates for Governor aro
Republicans. 'Tis a sacrifice of feelings,
and almost of self-respect, to vote for
either. It is a choice of evils, however,
and to defeat Wells we vote for .Walker,
aud drop our choice. Withers. Wo aro
in great danger of having negro supre?
macy in Virgiuia, and aro struggling
manfully against all kinds of odds to
avert tho dire calamity of having carpet?
baggers aud negro officers. Congress
aud tho Executive of the United States
have done all in thoir power to strengthen
their hands, to create a War of the races,
to widen the breach already existing be?
tween the North and tho South, hud to
drive us to separation. On the South
side of Virgiuia there is scarcely any
hope that wo shall in our local elections
have aoy but carpet-baggers and negroes
in office. This will be a heavy blow tc
all our interests, and though I know ic
theeud white men must, rule, it will re?
tard immigration, and, consequently,
our material interests.
We have, you see, a severe ordeal tc
pass through. It will iu the end be tin
worst thing for tho negioos that could
happen. Wo have all the land-they
have tho labor. To be prosperous, copi
tal and labor must harmonize. If t hey
do not, one or the other must give way
Capital can do without labor longer that
labor without capital; which will gi vt
way it is easy to see. Tho negroes wil
bo replaced by white laborers, and tuei
will como the dawn of our prosperity
For myself, believing that present negri
supremacy is inevitable, I am shapini
my plans to weather the storm as best
may. I give now employment to abou
forty negro men. I hope, by giving u]
the tobacco crop, and by the aid o
sheep and all of the improved labor-sav
ing implements, to get along by-and-b
with about ten, and make more money
Those ten I want as far as possible to b
white, either reliable home whites o
skilled foreigners. I may keep a few c
my quietest and moat reliable negr
hands. I havo bought about 400 of pur
Merino sheep at a very reasonable price
say $3 per head, said to be the fine:
flock in Virginia.

General Henry Grey, of Bienville, wr
subpoenaed to give testimony before th
Congressional Committee now sitting i
this city to investigate the facts of tl:
last election. From what we hear, tl
General's testimony was of a very nns:
tisfnetory character. He was asked tl
causo of the small vote for Gen. Grat
in his parish, only two votes being r
oeived for tho radical electors.
The General answered that, as far i
he could learn from the negroes, tho re
son they would not come to tho polls nt
vote was because the Provost Marshr
who came to the parish as a radical o
gunizer, had promised, if they wou
vote for tho radical ticket in tho Sta
election, to give each ono of them for
aeres of good land, a mule, plow, ho
axe, and set them up in the world. Th
promise had not been kept, and, thet
fore, tho negroes would not turn out
voto for the nominees of the party in tl
November election.
Question-Who told you this was t
reason?
Answer-About 500 of the negro
themselves.
Question-Can you give tho names
any of these?
Answer-Yes; Jerry, Jim, Bob, I
Bill, Squint-eyed Joe, Bow-legged Toi
George
Mr. Stevenson-That will do. Pier
give us their surnames.
Answer-They never had any; utica
I never know them by such.
Question-Have you not been a pi
minent politician in this State?
Answer-No.
Question-Were you not a member
tho Legislature?
Answer-Yes; but was never proi
nent.
Question-Were you not nominal
for tho United States Sonnte in oppc
tiou to Mr. Benjamin?
Answer-Yes; I was voted for.
Question-Did not this show that y
wero a prominent politician?
Answer-No; it only showed thal
hud some popularity; not that I was I
proper man for the place, any more tl:
tho votes received by Gen. Grant proi
that ho was lit to bo President of I

How CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.
If common rumor and nlmost daily news?
paper reports can bo believed, it is a
warrantable conclusion that an expedi?
tion to Cuba leaves onr shores-and
often right under tho eyes of the United
States officials-on an average, at least,
once a week. Now, this may be all
right. We do not say it is not. But,
when fillibusters (naval) expeditions left
English ports to help Southern "rebs,"
we all know how bad we felt about it
and how wo are now insisting upon John
Bull, not only to pay, but to apologize
for it."
Again-it used to "rile" us whon tho
English papers spoke of Jeff. Davis as
"President Davis." But now-every
day we see journals that used to be most
indignant thereat, speaking of the Cuban
rebel General as "President" C?spedes
before the United States Government
i has recognized him as a "belligerent,"
j even.
We repent, these things may be all
right, we don't say they are not, yet one
! cannot help thinking, how, with some
folks, circumstances alter casos.

of money-somewhere in the neighbor?

for the purpose of paying out the week?

were drawn from the bank and on an

was found that $700 were missing, which
the financial sec re ta ry declares "disap?
peared around that table"-meaning a
table around which the striko committee
trausaet business. The members are very
indignant about tho matter, although
the President of tho society says ho will
be able to "settle it all right." Very few
of the men have obtained situations, and
after next week no further pecuniary aid
will be given them by the society.

fun there must bo in the tail of a fashion?
able coat-the Bpring style. We bad
hoped that the uncouth appearing "bob?
tail" and tight pants would give place to
a moro becoming style this Bpring; but
the decree bas gouo forth; aud every
fashionably dressed young man must re?
semble a crane or a pair of tongs, in
order to make a "respectable" appear?
ance in genteel society. There is no
accounting for the "follies and fobles"
of modern fashion mongers.
DEATH OF JOSEPH E. MCNIOUT.-The
Kiustrce Star, of tho 16th instant says:
We regret to learn that this gentleman
died at his residence in Marion District,
on Saturday last, of conoumption. Mr.
McKnight was formerly associated with
ns iu business, and was one* of the first
owners of this paper. ^ Our intercourse
with him was always pleasant and agree?
able, and memory reverts with melan?
choly .feelings to his early death. "To?
day wo live, movo, and have our being;
to-morrow, nothing knows us but the
mattock and the tomb".
The prizo-fight between "Mike" Mc
Coole and "Tom" Allen took placo on
the 15th on Fosters Island, about twenty
miles below St. Louis. A large number
of roughs were present. Nine rounds
were fought, in which Allen had the best
of it. The fighting was ended by a
"foul" on the part of Allen. The referee
was afraid to give bia decision, several
roughs pointing pistols at his head, and
demanding a decision to suit themselves.
He promised to give it when he reached
St. Louis, and the crowd dispersed.
CONFEDERATE DEAD.-The Chicamau
ga dead are being rapidly removed to
this plaoe for reinterment in the Con?
federate Cemetery. Two hundred bodies
arrived during the present week. Mr.
Tucker, the superintendent, displays
good taste in beautifying tue last resting
place of our noble dead.
