BOBO LAB OB BLONDE?-OU Tuesday
evening, about dark, a bright-eyed girl
of eighteen, handsome and appaiently
intelligent, a topped at one af oar second
olaas hotels. She told the landlord that
she had bat little money, and wished to
stop with bim a few days. The good
natured landlord told her that that waa
all right-that he would hold her trank
as security for all deficiency in hin rega?
lar Charge? for his board.' Nothing more
was said until this morning, wheo the
girl informed him that ehe wished to go
to St. Louis, and asked, with tears in
her eyes, for her trunk, and the loan of
$10. This the laudlord refused, at the
time, to comply with, but demanded
about $4 due him on boord. She said
that she had no money; that ber trunk
contained valuables that she could not
dispose of iii Decatur, and promised
him a quick remittance as noun as she
arrived in St. Louis. Everything was
arranged for her departure-the 810 fur?
nished her; but, as abe was getting upon
tiie St. Louis train, an officer from
Cairo, with documents in his pocket,
laid, his hand upon her shoulder and
said: liXou aro arrested-my prisoner."
Before she could make things satisfac?
tory to tho officers, the truin left the
depot with the yoong lady in charge of
tho Cairo officer. She was brought be?
fore one of tho Justices of tho Peace,
her trunk broken open and contouts ex?
amined. It was foaod to cou tain a lot
of burglar tools, four changos of suits
and masks, and about $500 in counter?
feit money. Upon a more full investi?
gation, and upon a close examination iu
a private room, 'it wus ascertained be?
yond a doubt that the woman was a mao,
and that, too, of a very respectable fa?
mily of Memphis, Tenuesaeo. H h.\d
SO. dinguisod himself with false our
chignon, paint, ?co., as rendered it al?
most impossible to tell him from the fe?
minine sex. He waa handed over to
Marshal Wilson, of Cairo, and will go
hence to Memphis, where a full investi?
gation of crimes preferred against him
will bo made.-Decatur (Ul.) Magnet.
THS OUTLAWS.-The latest news from
Robeson County, N. C., may be found io
tho following paragraphs, whioh we clip
from tho Robesonian:
"Tho excitement at Sen flin town pro?
duced by tho many rumors and reports
that havo been in circulation here for
the past ten or twelvo days having in u
measure subsided, the public mind now
accepts the following as probably the
true state of things in Souffietowo:
"Henry Berry Lowrey was not drown?
ed or killed by himself or his brother,
but has quietly left the Couuty, taking
with him the largest share of the pro?
ceeds of the robbery of Mr. McLeod's
safe; Boss Strong is not dead, bat badly
wounded, and as soon as he is able to
travel, the rest of the band will follow
their chief."
In an editorial on the state of affairs
in Robeson County, the Robesonian
mentions that Henderson, the corres?
pondent of the New York Herald, had
been outlawed by a board of magistrates
of the County, and that a posse had
been sent iu pursuit of him. Ia another
part of the paper, howover, tho Robeso?
nian publishes tho following contradic?
tory paragraph:
"We stop the press to say that the re?
port notioed elsewhere in this paper that
Henderson, the so-called Herald corres?
pondent, had been outlawed and was
being pursued by the constable's posse,
seems to havo been untrue. Henderson
came down to this place yesterday, and
returned by tho next train witho it mo?
lestation, no was entirely unarmed."
DEATH OF AGED CITIZENS.-It ia with
sincero regret that we announce the
death of Capt. Wm. Saunders, ono of
our oldest and most esteemed citizens.
He died at the residence of his son-in
law, Capt. P. K. Norris, and was buried
on last Sabbath at Bethesda Church.
Capt. Saunders was a patriotic and ho?
norable citizen, and served his country
in tho war of 1812 as a captain of volun?
teers.
We regrot to loam, also, that Andrew
Todd, Esq., died at his residence in this
County ou last Monday morning. Mr.
Todd had boon u sufforer from dropsy
for the past year, and his death was not
unexpected. Ho was ?ixty-eight years
of ago, and had been a m agis trat o i ti his
neighborhood for the last thirty-seven
years.-Anderson Intelligencer.
ANOTHER INCENDIARY. Finn.-Tho new
Methodist parsonage of the Walterboro
Circuit, at Ron uti O, Colleton County,
occupied by Kev. B. G. Joues, was fired
by au incendiary a few nights ago and
bumed to tho ground, with its contents.
Tho firo was kiudled against the door of
the kitchen, whioh adjoined the dwell?
ing, and had proceeded so fur when dis?
covered that it was found impossible to
extinguish it. Tho parsouago was built
last year at a cost to the oirouit of
$1,800.

Th?^aiV^ the KuKmx\$als
that.was attempted to be brought before
the Supremo Court for* ffhal disposition,
is entitled the United Staten vs. Avery
et al, and came to the .Supreme Court
upon a certificate of division from tba
Circuit Court for- District of Sooth
Carolina. The defendants in this case
were iudieted for conspiracy nnder the
Aots of May 87, 1870, known as the En?
forcement Or Kn Klux Aot. The parti?
cular act charged was the murder of one
Jim Williams, while attempting to pre?
vent oolored citizens voting, and to hin?
der and prevent their exeroise of the
right to keep and bear arms.
Motion having been made to quash
the indictment, the court were divided
in opinion on the question whether it
had jurisdiction of the crime of morder
charged, and whether tho right to keep
and bear arms is a right granted and se?
cured by thc Constitution of the United
States so as to support the charge in the
indictment, and render the offunoo cog?
nizable by the court.
The Government submits that the
questions haviug arisen upon a motion
to quash, this court cannot take cogni?
zance of them, the motion being pre?
liminary in its character, and determin?
able by tho court below us a matter of
pure discretion.
It is then contended that the Act was
intended merely to visit with increased
punishment offenders against the laws
of the United States, who, iu tho act of
violating those laws, shall also commit
offenoos against the laws of the States,
and this it bas power to do; and it ne?
cessarily follows that the courts of the
United States have jurisdiction to in?
quire into this additional fact. Nor is
it any answer to say that in so doing
they take jurisdiction of an offence
against State laws, and of which Con?
gress cannot give thom jurisdiction. The
court merely admits evidence of a fact,
as matter of aggravation of another of?
fence. The criminal laws of several of
the States are cited to show that in
those States whore any person is con?
victed of a criminal offence, who has
before been punished by the United
States or other .States for a like offence,
such person is sentenced to an additional
penalty; and it is said that the difference
between taking into account the convic?
tion of a first offence, with n view to fix
th,e punishment of a subsequent one, ae
in those eases, and taking into account
the commission of au offeuoe with a view
to fix the punishment of another offence
contemporaneously committed, consid?
ered merely as facts constituting mattet
of aggravation, us in this case, is only a
difference in time, and is wholly imma?
terial. In neither case is the punish?
ment, in contemplation of law, applied
to tho offence, which is regarded os an
aggravating circinus tun o o merely.
In respect of the right to bear arms,
it is said that tho United States, by rea?
son of the power given to Congress tc
provide for organizing, arming and dis?
ciplining tho militia, bau a direct inter?
est in soeing that tho right which the
Constitution itself declures to be essen?
tial to a well-ordered militia is not in?
fringed by unlawful authority, aud, ic
the absence of Stafo legislation, to pun?
ish violations of tho right, and it is bul
a reasonable construction of the Act tr
construe it as applying to this Act at
well as to any other.
For the defence, it is urged, after con
troverting the theory of the Govern
mont, that tho fifteenth amendment tc
the Constitution contains no grant oj
power over the right of suffrage, but ii
in the nature of a restriction or abridge
ment of such power in ono respect only
and that iu in the powor to discrimin?t!
on account of race, color or previom
oondition of servitude. It is to enforci
that section and prevent such discrimi
nation, that by tho second section Con
gross ia authorized to enact appropriait
laws. And this article contemplate
only legislative action, aud does not ex
pressly apply to individuals. Defore th'
Act iu question can tuko effect, then i
must appear that the Statu hus autln)
rized thu discrimination prohibited b;
thc amendment, and that such discrimi
cation is attempted to bo carried out l>
au individual. If tho State has nut vic
lated tho article, and hus passed no lui
to authorize such discrimination, th
unauthorized act of nu individual, or
combination of individuals, makes n
casu fo: Federal cognizance. Au iud
vidual cannot deny or abridge thu rigli
to voto in tho sense of this amendment
It is a right that can only bc given c
denied ur abridged hy law. South Curt
lina has not violated the amend nient ; sh
has passed no Act to discriminate on ni
count of nico, color or previous cond
lion of servitude, and admits citizens c
all color, rued und conditions, who huv
the qualifications of voters, to tho fu
enjoyment of the right of suffrage. Ill
if it be held that it would bo appropriai
legislation to enforce this umendtnot
against individuals, where tho Slate hu
passed no Act, then it is contended tin
thc conspiracies charged aro not withi
tho jurisdiction of thu court, becam
they are offences not within the purvie
of tho amend men t, nor appropriate legi
lation to enforce thu amendment, an
are, therefore, void, lt is, then, uubmi
todas too clear tor argument, that withi
the legitimate sphere of tho rights ri
served to tho States is included tl
right of exclusive legislation in the mn
tor of suffrage; tho very existence nf tl
States depends upon lt, and they ha?
nover surrendered thc jurisdiction.
it is declnrcd that not a singlo offene
defined in tho Act iu question com
within thu provisions of the amend men
Win n thu States, by tho atneudmou
surrendered tho right to discriminate
tho mutter of suffrage >>n tho ground
color, race, ito , and authorized Co
gross to enforce that amendment, tin
surrendered no other right touching tl
suffrage, aud gave Congress no hirth
power over the subject, aud heneo t
Enforcement Aot ia not -appropriate
? The cona tito tio n'ai provision in respect
to the right bi the people' to bear arm?
oontaius no grant ol power to the F?de?
ral Government over tho right to keep
and 'bear arma. On the, contrary, the
established constitution is, that it only
recognizes a pre-existing right in the
people of the States, and is merely a re?
striction on tba Federal Government
against any interference with that right,
and consequently *a oubjoct-matter ex?
clusively within the oognizanoe of the
Stater,
As to jurisdiction, it is contended that
the jurisdiction attempted to be given
by the Aot over another "felony," com?
mitted in tho attempt to do tba acts pro?
hibited, and in this case murder, be?
longs exclusively to the Courts of South
OaroliDa, and that consequently so
much of the Aot is unconstitutional and
void-, as an exeroisa of a legislative
power not in pursuance of the Constitu?
tion.
In carelessness, profligacy and osten?
tation, New York has been growing like
Paris ever sinoe the war. Up to the
present time, however, it lacked that
strong dramatio element, with whioh
every recurring event in Parisian his?
tory, political or social, is invariably
permeated. The leaven of staid practi?
cability inherited from tho Puritan, set?
tlers still served to interpose a barrier,
growing feebler every day, but now en?
tirely swept away. The dramatic art
was consulted when the glories of the
Tammany ring wore shivered by the
limes without note or warning, as if by
lightning Jrom a cloudless sky; and SO
every step of its downfall since reads, at
this distance, like the bill of a blue
blazes melo drama. The sadden appear?
ance of Garvey in court, as sudden as
though in the obaracter of a red demon
he had come up through a slar-trap, wus
the laut grand tableau attraction, we
suppose to be followed by others, until
the curtain finally rings down and the
lights of the wigwam are put out for?
ever. The grand coup d'etat of Erie,
made the other day, is another instance
of the growth of the dramatio element.
General Sickles, wo are told, seduced
enough old directors from their alle?
giance to i asure the overthrow of Goold
by ordinary legal process; but this did
not satisfy the popular sentiment. A
grand storming party, led by the one
legged hero, and supported by the great
Cuickuhominy engineer, was decided
upon; then came the siege, the parley,
the truce, hosts of deputy sheriffs in
garrison, sleeping on their arms; then
tho surrender, and the interchange of
compliments between victor and van?
quished. All this time, New York was
agitated to its centre; crowds of people,
who had no more interest in Erio thun
they have in the Bank of Eugland,
choked up all tba thoroughfares in tho
