?e hhT8 been informed that a sheet
published in this wty?which maintains
? proc&rious living?on ThnrscUylaat,
made riae of very.harsh terns against
the Ph<khix, relative to the publication
ol & short article in it* columns the pre?
vious day. . Whether Or not the article
was stolen, is a very insignificant affair,
as matter ie daily copied in papers with?
out credit, 'as the author of the paragraph
well knows; and we only refer to it, to
bbow how desirous the so-called ?'ron
ners" of the slanderous sheet aro to dia
coyer inAgiunry flaws in the oolum,ne of
the Phcenix. How these parties obtain
copies of the paper, We really cannot
say, except by borrowing or tiekiling?(the
oarriers t aia. instructed hot to nail on
credU)? ior, owing to the epali?bed mla
statemenU and ^a^'deroaB remarks of
?she unmeiwonable journal, an exchange
"With tho pHamDrJwaa discontinued,'and
all personal relations usually observed
betwe^oiooroaJlaUsnnderod. 1 The least
said about stealing?taken in the broad
sense of the term?the better; as it eomei
with bad. graca from a Pharisaical con
-Cern, which, it is well known, takes
whatevep is obtainable^ by/a.aystemakin
nonpayment; of jugt debts Vjobtraoted
ander feithf?l promise? to p?y?
.the boy-carriers of the sheet, rip to the
rparlles who were so unfortunate as to
furnish the paper for its publication?
not omitting the rental of its office.
If the oap: fits too closely, it must be
borne in mind that it was shaped upon
the block vfuraished. If it ia desired
thai fiomb of the names of the defrauded
-parties be furnished, the Phcbnix will
not hesitate to bring them forward.
Tcie O^bobadatioH of Hatti.?At a
r mission meeting last Thursday night in
St Ann's Church, in Brooklyn, Bishop
tCoxe, of' Western! New York, delivered
an address on the condition of Hayti,
from which he has lately returned. The
faots he presented in regard to the popu?
lation were very remarkable indeed.
Bayti, jthb' Western part ojt the island,
lias 600,000 inhabitants, and St. Do?
mingo.^? Eastern part, but 200,060.
Olf%i&P00 people, i^ fia-yti; Btehop
Coxo-saya that but 100,000 are nominal?
ly Christians, while 000,000 are savages
and barbarians. For ? ^wely*-sprite*jbaok
of Por? an-princo is b'nVruibrcjpeji tloao
Jatiou. ^ The mud houses and hblr naked
savages greeting Bishop Ooxe every?
where made him think he was traveling
with Lriviagstone in the heart of Afrioa.
/As .to thojr religion,(he Bajs that they
^worship the spirit of evil, not beoanse
they love him, but to propitiate him;
that tbey are mild and inoffensive, and
receive the preachers kindly, but merely
?v because they think that by doing this
they will propitiate the white man's
devil. There are even men in authority
who, when they enter the Christian Ca?
thedral, mumble their barbarous prayers
toihoir own evil spirit. Bishop Ooxe
adds:
"Their superstition lesdB them to the
moat horrid rites?tbe most fearful or?
gies. 'At least onoe a year, they make a
saorinoe to this evil spirit* whiob they
worship, and humun life is the saarlfloe.
Between Christmas and Epiphany, they
make this sacrifice, and they prepare
?children for it, and they feed upon them.
Cannibals within a few days' sail of yonr
own shores! Think of itl I ahould
not dare repeat it, unless I was sure it
was literally true."
The Haytien Government has tried to
suppress this, but the custom is too
.deeply rooted in tbe hearts of the bar
barons people. At the olose of Bishop
rCoxe'a address, Bishop Littlejohn, of
Long Island, characterized it as the most
-extraordinary statement he had ever
'heard. Certainly, few people could im?
agine the existence of such a state of
things in an island so near our shores,
mnoh as had been said of its deoadenoe
in a material point of view, sinoe all the
influence and authority of a superior
race have been banished from it. The
.contrast to the oivilized condition of tbe
blacks ia our Southern States is very
? marked? The race in our own oountry
has, however, had advantage of example
?and instruction, always valuable to men
ignorant and unaccustomed to se\/-de
pendenoe, but which, from the nature of
tbe case, oonld not have been aoquired by
-the blacks of Hayti, who have, conse?
quently, left to themselves, made another
Afrioa of that island.
The oolored voters of Philadelphia are
"on.the rampage,"and insist upon a fair
representation in official circles. They
objeot to do all the voting without having
some of tb,e pleasant places voted for,
and hence they demand a recognition of
their services in a more substantial man?
ner than the mere words of approval that
have hitherto groeted their labors. This
the white Badioals objeot to, because they
want all tho public plunder themselves.
A seventeenth amendment is required.

ference. From this negligence came
death' to hundreds of, men, women and

Fne?matio BajjjBoad.?The Governor
of New York baa signed the bill for a
' pueumatio railroad i in the city of New
York, after an amendment limiting the
passenger charges for morning and even?
ing, when laboring people would bej
likely to travel over it. The road al?
ready runs a few hundred feet under]
Broadway, Sonth of Warren street, and
has been running at a charge, for exhibi?
tion for two or three years past. It will J
be continued ander Broadway from that
point to Twenty-third street, thence
brancbJn^off to Budison avenue,** ander
which' it will continue.to Harlem'Biver. j
A brjard of commissioners is to be up
pointed within -thirty days by the Go?
vernor, a lid j tuey ?will decide w bother the
road is to be carried on upon pueumatio
principles or by eleara. If (be former
should be seleoted, the cost will be about
$1,000,000 a mile; if for'steam purposes,
the expense will bo considerably greater.

The Presbyterian Ohuroh at Winns

A OoNOn&sSHAN in TnouuLfc.?Con?
gressman B. H. Cain (colored) was ar?
rested, yesterday, on a benih warrant
issued from the Inferior Court, to com?
pel him to answer to an indictment for
obtaining money nnder false pretences.
The suhstanoe of tbe charge is that Cain
sold a tract of lond to a colored man
several years ago. for which he received
the stipulated price. Sinoe then the
bnyer has not been able to get posession
of either land or money. The oasa was
nol. pros, by Solicitor Bnttz in Novem?
ber last, upon the pledge that Cain
would return the purchase money. This
pledge, it seems, has not bean kept, and
the case has since been reinstated.

We regret to state that Mr. D. A.
Thomas, residing near Santuo, met with
another severe loss, by fire, on Sunday

but whether for purposed .of at tuck, or
reoonnoissanoe, is not yet developed.

Several prisoners were brought in daring

Accidents,?Mr. R. C. Shiver met

started off suddenly, when he was thrown
to the ground. A short distance further,
and Charles, the colored driver, was
brought to the ground, but only slightly
hurt. The horses then ran into a fence
and smashed the buggy.
