Look at those stars; would you not like to roam amidst them? .Can you not trust in the love and justice of God? 'Do you not toelieve in the future persohal idenUty? Do you not long to be with those you h a Y® loved—with them where soul is to soul transparent—making known you lovea them?” ~ “By and toy, toy and by,” he would say. “Guess I know what this world ts like; yes, sir. Donlt the ever came back to tell me; no, sir. My endiiß not come yet, I shall do something yet to guns. His eyes closed and he fell musing. Not yet,” he rejoined, brightening up;: a for tune-teller told me so- Here, come olose! _ We were alone; yet be about as if Afraid or aßhamed that somfibody should, liftfli* us* “An old woman told me my fortune once, and everythinglias come about that she told me.

At his last moments I was not present; but they have been described to me. Sud denly his right hand was seen to point to his tongue. He could not Bpeak; that tongue waß paralysed, “Then,” said his friend, Mr. dark, “he raised his eyes upwards for a moment with the moßt imploring gaze I ever saw.” It might have seemed as though the spirit of love and tenderness that moved him, making him lovable and beloved, was gazing upwards to the fountain source from which it had outsprung, vouchsafed toactu ate in life the yellow clay of that piece of common crockery God-fashioned — Jacob gnider, Junior. ’ . _ To many minds the question will now dawn, why it should have been, how it should have happened,that the Government should have so, completely deserted in his need an inventor who had behaved so hon orably, and in behalf of whom the public feeling was so strong? That question sug gests another, viz. who and What is the Government in such a matter ? Of English heads of departments I have heard poor Snider speak in the most eulogistic terms. To the last he was impressed with the be lief that all would be settled to his liking, if he could only get on his legs and speak to the Duke of Cambridge and General Peel. Perhaps, I maybe induced to write a pen dant to this article, if the public do not ob ject; meantime the War Office will do well to clear itself from a statement recently made,' that a sy stem there prevails of giving to solicitors’ clerks, <fco., a commission on differences effected between claims of in ventors and the bounties actually paid.

Ibe fines lion of Colored Men in Passenger v :«arsi;; : Nisi Friub —Judge Thompson.—Butler Williams vs. GerMantown Passenger Rail way Company, ' This was an action brought by a colored man to recover damages for an alleged illegal expulsion frond one Of the cars of defendants. The evidence was as follows: , Lewis Wagner, sworn—ln the early part of May, 1865, the plaintiff entered a car of the defendant; the conductor attempted to put him off; he took a seat in spite of the conductor; the car was stopped; the people got out of it; another oar came along; Williams attempted to get on it, but was prevented by the conductor; witness got on the car at Jefferson street; the plaintiff got on at Fourth and Girard avenue; he is a light mulatto man,.there were ten people in the first car; they'lifted'the car off the track; we goKoff: conductor - said it was contrary to the regulation of the company to allow black men to ride in the cars; this was the only reason he gave. E. M. Davis, sworn—l was present in a Fourth street car when Williams attempted to get in the car ; conductor wanted to put him out; Colonel Wagner pushed the other; conductor pushed him out; he£rd nothing else Bald; I was in front part w 'the car; know plaintiff; knew him at Camp William Penn; he was a soldier; he carried a bag said to be a mail bag; don’t know whether he had it on the morning of the occurrence; don’t know that the conductor knew it; I was living in Montgomery county and was coming into the city; am accustomed to coming down Fourth street; never saw Elaintiff in a city passenger car before; I saw im prevented from getting into the car,and went fora policeman. ~ ; Colonel Wagner, recalled—l was post commander at Camp William Penn; plain* tiff was there ten months or a year; he was detailed as orderly for the purpose of car* rying letters to Philadelphia and despatohels; on the morning in question he had a tri monthly report to General Cadwalader; he had the letter-bag marked United States mail; I was present when the occurrence took place; I told the conductor that he was the orderly carrying despatches, and he had to ride; he Baid he had instructions from the company to keep black men of the car; I told the conductor he must ride; told con ductor the proper tribunal haddecided such regulations to be illegal; I referred to the decision of Judge Allison; I did not say' he should not ride on the front platform. George E. Wagner testified that he got on the car at Jefferson street; at Fourth and Girard avenue plaintiff ran to the car to get on; conductor attempted to prevent him; he got on; the car was stopped, andtheconduc tor attempted to put, the car off the track; another car came, and he attempted to get on; Ore conductor put his hands on him and pushed him off, when he was on the lower step of the near platform; there was a notice up that passengers should not ride on the platform.. In defence, Wm. D. Frishmuth testified that he saw noregulation forbidding persons to ride on the front platform. Joseph A, Beach testified that he was riding on the front platform of the car at the time of the occurrence; heard the distur bance at the rear of the car and went to see what it was about. The witness herqcorro borated the testimony of the preceding wit nesses. The crowd said-the colored man must ride inside'the car; the conductor said the colored man could ride on the front plat form; it was against the rules for' colored men to ride inside; other passengers said don’t let him get in, make nim ride on the front if he wants to ride; the car was so full of passengers that I didn’t care to get inside. ; John Haney, the driver of the car testified that the car,after the passengers got out was driven by him at a moderate rate down Fourth street. Samuell Hoffman testified that he was conductor of the second car; the blaok man attempted to get on the car, but witness prohibited. Mr. Phillips then propounded a questibn to witness. Mr. Goforth objected to the question, which was whether he (witness) had any instructions from the companynot to carry colored passengers. The objection was made on the ground that the company had no right to give such instructions. The 00- jection was overruled. Witness examined—He said he received instructions from Mi. Evans, not to allow any colored persons in the cars unless ac companied by a white child; the instruc tions weie verbal; he said they were to ride oh the front platform; witness was also in structed not to use any force in putting a ! colored man out; he could put the car off the track and run the car around, and take no fare from the black man; witness said he neverokjeoted to a negro man riding on the baok platform. Mr. Goforth—Why did yeu not leave complainant ride on the back platform? Witness—Because Mr. Wagner and others said the black man was to ride in the inside of the car. * Silas Gordon testified that he was driver of thp second car on the day of the occur rence ; saw the colored man come from the other car and attempt to get on mine; had seen the same colored man on the front platform of his car. William A. Mullen testified that in May, 1865, at the time of the occurrence,’ he was timekeeper on the Fourth and Eighth Street Passenger Hallway; have seen Williams riding on the front platform of some of the cars; never saw him undertake to get in the inside; Williams was dressed in soldier’s clothes. lewis Wagner, recalled, and examined by Mr. Goforth—Witness said Williams never said 1 he wanted to get inside of the car; Beeicb, one of the witnesses examined, took hold of Williams around the waist and endeavored to keep him off; witness said he did not endeavor to get Williams on the second car. ; This concluded the evidence, and the Judge charged the Jury. He said that there was no evidence produced to Bhow that the company refused to carry the colored man; at the time the transaction took,place, as the law then stood,-the company had a right to make rules as to who should ride or not in ,their carß. If it is shown that the action of the employes of the road was not to carry out the regulations of the company, then the jury can render a'verdict in favor of complainant. Again, if the colored man got in the car, and intended to pay his fare, and they refused to oarry him,'then he was entitled to damages: There is no doubt but that the Colored man was told to get on the car. The jmy then rendered a verdict in favor, of defendant. Mr. Goforth; previous to the charge of the Judge, submitted, in writing, that the company have no right to make regnlations for the exclusion of colored people from their cars, and ..that they can msfke no difference between riding on the platform and in the body of the car. TheCabeof Conoveb.— Yesterday Judge Fisher, in the Criminal Court, at Washing ton, gave his opinion on the demurrer in the case of, Sanfoid Conover, indicted for per jury respecting the assassination of Presi dent Din coin. The Judge over-ruled the : demurrer, giving his reasons in an elaborate opinion, in which he discussed the powers of Congress in taking the testimony of wit nesses, and paid a high compliment to Judge Advocate-General ■ Holt, whose character hid been assailed because of his official ac tion in relation to this case. The counsel for the prosecution, took exceptions; to ■ the ruling.pf the Court, and prayed an appeal to the. .CoUrt in general term, whioh. was granted. ..If that iCourt sustains Judge .Fisher, as is probable, Conover will doubt less be brought to trial at. the" next ensuing term of the Criminal Court for the District. ..Conover was removed to jail.

Jndge Underwood, in his charge to the jury, said their labors this term would-be brief, and the only crimes that would, oc cupy their attention would be several offenses against the revenue and postal laws, and a case of-counterfeiting. A case arising under the Confiscation act, United States vs. two brothers named Daw son, residents of London county, Va., was dismissed this morning by Judge Under wood, by erder of the Attorney-General. It is uncertain when the United States Circuit Court will meet, as Chief Justice Chase has not as yet made known his in tentions respecting a special session. The arrival of Surratt may materially alter the complexion of Davis’s case, and others supposed to have been engaged in the assassination plot. It is authoritatively stated that the judicial authorities at Washington are awaiting the arrival of Surratt, and upon his revelations will entirely depend the fdture action of the Government.
