MISCELLANEOUS.
Judge Busteed, of the United. States Dis
trict Court at Mobile, has rendered an impor
tant decision: A young man, a minor, while
a pas4enger on board one of the Mobile and.
New Orleans steamers, engaged in cards and
lost a considerable sum of money,, really the
property of his mother. A suit was institutt
ed for the recovery of the money, not against
the gambler, but the captain of the boat; and
decided in favor of the, plaintiff.
Nitro-Glycerine.—The recent explosion
at San •Francisco is believed to have been
caused by " nitro-glycerine," the new explo
sive material invented in Germany, a box of
which, it will be remembered, some time ago
caused such havoc at the Wyoming Hotel in
New York Two hundred pounds of it ex.-
ploded at - San Francisco, having been shipped
from New York for use in mining operations
on the Pacific coast. The,mail steamers car
rying it froth New York to the Isthmus, and
thence to San Francisco, had a narrow es
cape.---r--Another terrible explosion of-nitro
glycerine took plebe at Aspinwall on the morn
ing of the 3d inst. The oil had been brought
to that port on the British steamer European,
and while the vessel was being unloaded an
explosion took place, setting the ship on fire,
demolishing the wharf and warehouses, kill
ing twenty-six men, seVerely wounding seven
teen others, besides leaving twenty who re
main unaccounted for and: are supposed to
have been, blown to, atoms. The ship ' was
then towed out into the harbor, when another
and still more terrible explosion occurred,
tearing the ship to pieces, so that she sunk
immediately, but doing no further damage.
The total loss to property is estimated at one
million dollars.---Several hundred pounds
of nitro-glycerine have been discovered stowed
away in New York.
The First Case under the 'Civil Rights
Law.--A telegram from Lafayette, Indiana,
reports that on the 11th instant, a Colered
man named Barnes, of th-t city, brought a
suit against a prominent citizen to enforce a
contract. The defendant, for answer, sets up
that the negro came into the State in viola-
Lion of the Thirteenth article of the constitu
tion of the Stith of Indiana, which, under
pains and penalties, prohibits negroes from
coming into the State, and debars them from
all rights to enforce contracts, etc. The
plaintiff demurs to the answer, maintaing that
the Thirteenth article is void and of no ef
fect. because
First. It is in contravention of the letter
and spirit, of the Constitution of the United
,States.
Second. It • is in direct conflict . with the
constitutional amendment abolishing slavery.

ordinance, regulation, or custom to the con
trary notwithstanding.
The court sustained the demurrer, and the
defendent appealed to the Circuit Court,
which is now in session. The ease was sub
mitted on Wednesday, and after argument of
counsel, Colonel R. P. Dehart for appellee,
and Colonel W. C. Wilson for appellant, the
case was taken under advisement.
Cholera.—The new steamship Virginia
arrived April 17th in New York Bay, fbur
teen days from Liverpool, with 1080 passen
gers on her list. Another very unwelcome
passenger Was the cholera, of which the
pagers speak as follows : "It did not appear
that there was cholera on board until the 12th
instant, when the vessel was eight days out
from Liverpool. On that day a man, who
had had diarrhoea, suddenly grew worse and
died. It is said the diarrhoea had existed,
without any symptoms that were regarded as
alarming, from the day of the departure of
the vessel. When the man died, the ship's
surgeon doubted whether the disease was
cholera: but on the,same day two other pas
sengers were attacked. Afterwards the epi
demic extended; and on the passage the
number of sick was over one hundred—ex
actly how many', however, is not reported by
the ship's officers. They say the whole num
ber is certainly less than two hundred.- It is
mentioned as a singular circumstance, that
the cholera broke out on the Virginia in
about the same place on the ocean at which:
the passengers of the steamship England,
another of the National Steam Navigation
Company's vessels (afterwards detained at
Halifax), were attacked. There were 28
deaths on board the Virginia.
The Freedmen.--President Johnson has
subscribed twenty-five dollars towards the
Tennesseean, a paper published in Nashville,
in the interest of the Freedmen. Senator
Sumner subscribed five dollars.
Lenses.—lt is stated that, in the production
of glass for achromatic lenses, the American
glass makers beat the world.

The Democrats begin to scold President
Johnson audibly. - • '
Aniong °tiler places where a small commu
nity of Evangelical Christians had sprung up
was Barletta, a handsome town, and some
times busy port, not far from 'Bari.. The
church was placed in charge . of Giannini, an
Evangelist ; the worship ' was conducted
without offence ; and the number of wor
shippers increased. During the winter the
priests thundered against these " pests and
plagues of heaven." It was, perhaps, natu
ral : Italian priests are neither very sparing
in their censures nor enlightened in their
ideas. Even when the Lenten preachers
commenced an organized wordy assault upon
the little congregation, people neither remonl
strated nor cared: They began, however; to"
run a race in reckless speed: they represented'
the extirpation of the Protestants as a necea
sary duty and Southern
to God ; and ai:rigno
rant crowd in Southern Italy may be worked
into mischief by a heated friar. Mysterious•
hints were also dropped, and on. Sunday, the
18th of March, the authorities were informed
that something would . happen. Although
the sermons were fiercer on that day than
usual, no one seems to have dreaded a riot.'
But on Monday, the Feast of St. Joseph, a
certain: Canon Postiglione roused the excite
ment to a pitch beyond restraint, and rushing
from the church at the head of a wild mob,
found his foes in the meeting-place of the
Evangelical fratelli. Two of these brethren
Were murdered in cold blood, the proprietor
of the house and Giannini escaping by the
roof ; the furniture was smashed, and one of
the dead bodies flung from the balcony into
the street, and when the house was set on
fire it was tossed back into the flames. All
this was seen by' the •National Guard, whose
barracks were not ten yards away. The colo
nel had run off and hid himself,; his men
mysteriously disappeared ; and it was amhour
before the soldiers showed themselves to the
imposing rainaber of three. Meanwhile the
riot widenafil ; brawny priests left their altars
to join in the holy work; twoore houses
were burnt; three more person were mur
dered ; the shout of "Death to the accursed
ones!'; rang through the streets; the prefect
was attacked to the . cry of "Dorm with
taxes!" while cheers were givin for Jesus,
the Pope, and. Garibaldi ; the sub-prefect
with difficulty saved his life, a parliamentary
delegate was badly wounded, and for some
hours there was an absolute reign of terror.
At last the military interfered,• and a detach
ment of twenty or thirty carbineers was nth'
cient to restore order.
FINANCIAL.
FOREIGN,
THE MASSACRE AT BARLETTA,
ITALY.
It is quite plain that a more timely, action
of the authorities would have prevented
much of these excesses. So soon as it went
vigorously to work the riot melted away.
Postiglione, and some other priests, and about
two hundred laymen, have been arrested, and
the battalion of soldiers which was sent for
was scarcely necessary to quell any disturb
ance. The truth seems to be that there was
a mixture of treachery, incapacity, and cow
ardice. One of the first persons arrested
was a banker, a member of the town council,
and an officer of the National Guard, and a
list was found upon him with upwards of one
hundred houses and two hundred citizens
marked for destruction.
_The clerical reaction has been gaining
strength, and seems inclined to testt it. Now,
though Enrope will have no fear for the
issue, we must expect a struggle of great in
tensity, and of no little danger to the infant
Evangelical Churches: The first feeling
throughltaly will be one of shame, and the
Protestants of Barletta are now certain of
sympathy and security. Mr. Meyer,• (of the
Scotch Free Church at Ancona), preached
there to seventy people on the Sunday after
the tumult, and nothing seems to be more
admirable than the courage, firmness, and'
prudence with which he has acted through
the whole affair. But we fear that Barletta
is only a skirmishing ground ; that the battle
is not yet begun ; and that as ecclesiastical
toleration and Christian life advance in Italy,
they will encounter the most determined hos
tility.— Piece* Review.
DRUNKENNESS IN FRANCE.
A work has just issued from the pen of M.
Jules Simon, a member of the French Insti
tute and of the Legislative Body, giving a
very different view of the state of things in
that country as regards sobriety from what we
have been accustomed to see presented in
speeches and publications in Great Britain.
The following_extract is a sad exhibition:—
"Even in France there are towns where
women rival men in habits of intoxication.
At Lille,. at Rouen, there are some so satur
ated with it that their infants refuse to take r
the breast of a sober Woman. In the moun
tains of the Vosges, infants , drink eau-de-vie.
On Sundayin the churches the air is literally
infected with the smell of eau-de-vie made
from potatoes. In those mountains there are
no more frequent causes of idiocy and imbe
cility, for in general the dwellings are healthy,
and the water is excellent. The great mis
fortune is, that the children of habitual
drunkards are idiots, so that the punishment
follows from generation to generation, from
the guilty and degraded father to the innocent
children. In the manufacturing towns the
mayors are obliged to take measures against
the cabarets that supply eau-de-vie to children,
for there are drunkards of fifteen as there are
laborers at eight ; and, morally and physi
cally, they present a melancholy spectacle.
Can it be this precocious debauchery and the
consequences of it which oblige the War
Department to lower the regulation height
for the service? What is done to combat the
evil ? A few sermons which are not listened
to; a few municipal ordinances that are not
carried out ; pathetic 'exhortations, which
nobody pays attention to, are not sufficient to
absolve society, which allows the pestilence
to spread, as If it were an inevitable come
quence of industry. Instead of preaching
and punishing, a cure should be applied, and
for, that the cause of the evil should be known.
No one can believe, no one will venture to
say, that the wretched people who haunt the
, publie-house to ruin and to poison themselves
12.2.ve-any exemse—foi-ea-doing: -- Yet'think of
the twelve hours that these men spend in
their workshops—twelve long and wearisome
hours, without any recreation, without even
the pleasure, of seeing their work finished
under their hands; for the artisan is a mere
piece of machinery, and feels no . interest, in
what he produces. After those twelve hours,
so exhausting, so monotonous, follow him, in
the snow and frost, when he quits his shop.
Mount the crazy and rotten staircase leading
to his room. Enter with him into the fright
ful doghole, where his meal is scarcely ever
ready, for his wife is at work like himself;
where he never tastes wine, because wine is
too dear ; where he cannot breathe, bedause
air fit for breathing is dearer still than wine;
where he has no furniture, for during illness
and stoppage of work his furniture it sent to
the _pawnbroker; • and where he finds neither
fire, nor covering, nor sleep! Do you know
many'men, even among those who are most
eloquent on drunkenness, who would resist
the attraction of the pleasant taproom, well
lighted, well warmed, with its glittering pots,
its dusty bottles, its' gay companions, and all
the , semblance •of happiness which hides
from him the want of real happiness ?"
M. Jules Simon notices the efforts made
by the co-operative associations, in England,
Germany, and France, for the improvement
of the habitations of the poor. London, he
says, is of all places in, the world the city
where most has 'been done in this wav :
" It, indeed, Wanted' it, and will want it
more for a long time to come; for in a city
so immense, containingu floating population
so numerous, many years will pass before any
thing like • complete reform can be effected."
In spite of many difficulties, he admits
that 'a great deal 'has been done in London;
and French architects and organizers of asso
ciations for the improvement of •lodging
houses would learn much' from it. One
thing in particular is deserving of imitation,
namely: that water is Carried into all the
rooms ; " and," he adds, "cleanliness becomes
gradually a habit, and very soon a necessity.
With us, on the contrary, water, and conse
quently, cleanlinese, is an object of luxury."
