the judicial system of the United States was
t&tSCQ op.
Mr Drake offered-a substitute for the bill pro
viding for a Chief Justice and fourteen Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court, and making an
entirely new arrangement of circuits. Rejected.
Mr Howe offered on amendment, but at the
suggestion of Mr. Trnmbnll withdrew It, and
the bill was then passed, as tollo we:
Be it enacted, <J-e., That the Supreme Court of
tho United States shall hereafter consist of tbo
Chief Juetice.of the United Stales, and eight as
sociate justices, any six of whom shall constitute
a quorum, and for this purpose there shall be ap
pointed an additional aeoociate justice of tho said
BeC.’2. And is it further enacted. That for each
of the nine existing judicial circuits there shall
be appointed a circuit judge, who shall reside in
his circuit and shall possess the same power and
jurisdiction therein as the Justice of ihe Supreme
court allotted to that circuit. Tue circuit courts
in each circuit shall he held by tho Justice of the
Supreme Court allotted to the circuit, or by tho
Circuit Judge of the circuit, or by tho District
Judge ol the district, sitting alone, or by any two
of them coming together, and such courts may
be held at the same time in different districts of
the same circuit, and more than one such court
may be held at thb same .time in the same district.
The Circuit Judges shall receive an annuel salary
of five thousand dollars
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted , That nothing

ted from the Judiciary Committee. It provides

tion of the Fourteenth Amendment shall be held
guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment
for a period not exceeding five years, and a fine
not less than $l,OOO nor more than $lO,OOO.
Mr. Bttckalew thought that the proper remedy
for the evil which the bill was designed to meet
would bo to contest the seat of tbe disqualified
candidate If elected, or to institute a prosecution
by the Attorney-General of the State, or some
legal officer representing the United States.
Mr. Trnmbnll said the proposed legislation was
necessary to prevent persons disqualified under
the Fourteenth Amendment from bolding or
attempting to hold office in tho Southern States.

tmifED SIATES SCPBBME COIJBT,
Preemption In the 'West—Mob law-
Pofllv of ttto settlers*
Washington, Feb. 2.-I— Boswell G. Pierce, ot
al vb John W. Brown. This case la of interest
as showing how the Western Territories are Set
tled. The' appellee,_ plaintiff below,_ajloggjL _}g
hlB bill of complaint, and shows Tfy iestloKmyTn
the case, that in the spring of 1867 he settled
noon and Improved certain lands near the
citv of Omaha, in the Territory of Ne
braska, built a house upon .the tract and
occnpied it until August, of the same year, when
he entered upon it under the pre-emption laws,
ot the United States; but upon that day
Pierce, one 'BY the appellants, claiming the land
by virtue of certain regulations of an organize
tiort there known as “The Omaha Club* com
pcllcd him, under threats of personal violence,
and even death, to convey the land to him, with
out consideration. It appeared from the evi
dence that the “Omaha Club” consisted of from
ISO to 200 armed men. among whom were the
Mayor of tbe City of Omaha, and most of the
other Influential residents of the place; and that
it to a great extent, controlled the disposition of
the public lands In ibe vicinity of Omaha, in de
fiance of law, frequently resorting to personal
violence to enforce Its decrees. As soon
as Brown had acquired title by pre-omp
tlon, Pierce, together with several other mem
ber*. of the club, went to his bouse on the land,
demanded a deed, and threatened death to him
bv hanging or drowning, if be did not comply.
Handbills had been posted calling tho members
together to take action in Brown’s case, and he
became so frightened and intimidated that ho did
convey bis title to Pierce by deed, and without
iujv consideration whatever. One Alex. H.
Baker testified that many threats were made by
Pierce and others that toey would serve Brown
as others had been served for jumping claims;
they would throw him into or put him
over tbe Missouri river. He heard these
threats of violence on tbe day Brown made
Ibc pre-emotion. Mr; Gloss said if he did not
i eed the land to Pierce they would have the club
after him before night. He heard Pierce tell
Brown that Gov. Cummings had bound himself
to protect him (Pierce) until he could get a title
from the Government, and that Cummings had
more Influence than any member of the club,
brown consulted counsel, and was advised that
it was safest to make tbe deed to Pierce, and
subsequently sue to recover It, as no title could
be conveyed under snch circumstances. This
witness testified that from what ho knew of the
parlies at tho club, ho believed that Brown
would have been thrown in the river if he had
not complied with their unlawful demand.
Tiie defendants below did not answer, except
one Morion, an attaching creditor of Pierce. The
decree was for Brown, the Court holding that
there had been no valid conveyance, and that
the title remained in him. Appeal was taken
from that decree by Morton, he contending that
be had a valid attachment lien perfected bv
judgment, and is in the possession of a bona fide
purchaser.
The judgment below is now affirmed.
The following cases were considered in the
Supreme Court to-day: No. 91, The Town of
Beloit, appellant,vs. Samuel C. Morgan; and No.
820, The Town of Beloit, plaintiff in error, vs.
Samuel C. Morgan. Argument concluded.
No 108, Samuel C. Morgan vb. The Town of
Beloit; and No. 118, The United States, ex rel.
Samuel C. Morgan, plaintiff in error, vs. Elbert
Gates. Causes argued.
No. 92, E. L. Mead, plaintiff In error,vs. Anson
Bakark. Cause argued.

When six o'clock struck, tho Senate had ar
rived within four bills of tho consideration of the
Metropolitan Police bill. Fourteen Democrats
were present, and they were In favor of con
tlnuleg the session until the bill was reached,
with the evident hope that they would be able,
by the assistance ot one or two Republican Sena
tors to defeat It. Filibustering then commenced,
and various motions of a dilatory character were
made. The Republicans finally united upon a
inoijon to adjourn, which was carried.
Tho votes give no Indication of tho fate of the
Police bill, bnt there is reason to believe that at
least two of the Republican Senators are opposed
to the principles of the bill, and Its success Is !
doubtful.
Senator Henezey desires to state In regard to
the weighing bills Introduced by him Into tho
Senate, in presenting it he merely executed
the request of some inilucntial constituents.

Aldermen to justify the sureties of parties apply

emption of 8500 to married men, and prohibits a
waiver of tho exemption.)
A bill was introduced authorizing the Second
Baptist Church, in New Market street, to sell its
burial ground. Adjourned.

early In tho day, sod tho officers went among tho

new and to obey the authorities; but the lnnu
jsneo of the officers was not' strong enough, and
it Is certain that the resolute conduct of Oulco,

J lstices’ CouitTS. — ln Now Jersey, Justices’
Courts are very limited in their powers and ju
risdiction. Thty do not possess authority to
hear and determine criminal matlors, and in civil
caFes they are limited to the adjudication of do
suit beyond one hundred dollars. For the pur
pose of Increasing these powers, a permanent
organization of the Justices of the Peace of New
Jersey has been effected. Its object is to cen
tralize their efforts, to impart useful information,
and by social intercourse and interchange of
views, l o harmonize and systematize the now some
what discrepant official action; in judicial pro
ceedings. This Association has petitioned the
Legislation to pass an act which will remedy the
evil existing in the laws an d rules governing the
Courts for the trial of small causes, and to meet
the requirements of society and to increaso the
sphere of usefulness of Justices’ Courts, conse
quent npon the increased population and malti
tarions litigation. For this reason they ask an
extension of jurisdiction in the sum of two hun
dred dollars. This would relievo the overburdened
Circuit Courts, and save litigants vexatious
delays and ruinous expenditures to that extent of
their claimß. The petition sets forth that Jus
tices’ Courts are second to no other judiolal body.
They are the initiative courts, through which, iu
n great measure, the jurisprudence of the State
flows into the highorconrts. Emanating directly,
as they do, from the people, their mandates
ought to be respected. They also ask that the
lees in criminal, as in civil snits, shall be paid
in advance. A bill has also been pre
pared, providing for the required changes, and
a strong pressure is being made to secure its pas
sage.
Interesting Ceremonies.— The County Court
Houso in Camden was crowded last evening with I
a large concourse of people to listen to the inter
esting ceremonies incident to the dedication of
the new Hall belonging to lonic Lodge, No. 94,
Order of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. I
The services were of a very impressive character, I
and were participated in by several of the high
dignitaries of the Masonie Fraternity. I
This Lodge is in a flourishing condition, I
and has jnst received its charier. Its membership I
consists of many of the most active and promt- I
nept citizens Of Camden, who have taken a deep I
interest in its advancement. An excellent coils- I
lion was served np after the dedicatory services I
bad been completed, in which the members of I
the Lodge and their iDvlted friends participated. I
Their new Hall is located at the corner of Fourlh I
and Plum streets, and the rooms have been ele- 1
gantly and conveniently fitted up. I
t>Ki,KGAThs Elected. —Last evening the Re- I
publicans of Middle Ward held a caucus, and
elected the following gentlemen as delegates to ,
the city convention,which meets on Friday even
ing: B. H. Shivers, Charles Zimmorman, Geo.
Vernon, Robert S. Bender, Edward Dallas. The
following wero nominated for candidates for city j
Council, from whom two are to be selected on
Monday evening next, at which time the entire
Word nominations will be made: John Am
brußter, Samuel Iszard, Jopathan Klrkbride, Jr.,
William Groves, Daniel Curtis, Leonard Repshnr.
Democratic Candidates.— There are quite ft
number ot gcntlemon In Camden who are anxious
to :ehow their patriotism by accepting Demo
cratic nominations, cither for city or ward offi
cers. These are working hard to secure the dele
gates at the primary meetings. It is quite evi
dent, however, judging from the lost election re
turns, that few who belong to that party will be
able to realize the consummation of their desires.
City Council. —A stated meeting of the City
Connell will be held on Thursday ovening, and it
is expected that the consideration of the new city
charter will be resumed from the point left at the
last meeting. It is important that U should be,
if the Council expect to finish it in time to have
it pass the Legislature this winter.

cess of the Fair for the benefit of Wildey Lodge,

The New York Tribune, of yesterday,
contains the following:
The two members of the American Lega
tion in Paraguay, Messrs. Porter C. Bliss
and Qborge F. Masterman, who were so
ci nelly imprisoned by the tyrant Lopeet, ar
rived here on board the Brasil mail steamer
Mississippi, on Sunday. After a short stay
in New York they will proceed to Washing
ton to report to the State Department tor
trial, on the charge of conspiracy against
Lopez. They were conveyed as prisoners
from Asuncion to Rio Janeiro on board one
of the United States vessels, and were there
requested by Rear-Admiral Davis 1 to take
passage on one of the regular mail steamers
for New York, and present themselves to the
Secretary of State for such disposition as he
might see fit to make of them. They arrive,
consequently, under charges, although they
have cot been treated as prisoners since leav
ing Rio, nor are they even under parole.
Mr. Porter C. Bliss is from Western New
York,and went to South America eight years
ago with Minister Webb. He has travelled a
great deal on the Eastern shore of the South
American continent, engaged partly in busi
ness pursuits, but chiefly in ethnologioal,
linguistic and geographical researches. He
is thirty years of age. Mr. Bliss bears evi
dences of the suffering which he has under
gone, and no one can look at him and hear
his story without seeing in gait, gesture,
countenance and expression abundant con
firmation of the narrative of cruelty and oat
rage.
Mr. Masterman is an Englishman who wont
to Paragnay seven years ago ;to join the
medical staff of the Paraguayan army. He is
about the same age as bis companion, of slight
figure and handsome features, and bears a
decided appearance of the gentleman. His
daikTiait Idriied half gray during bis im
prisonment. He suffered much less than Mr.
Bliss, however, and hia health doe 9 not ap
pear to have been much shattered. The fol
lowing succinct narratives of the imprison
ment and sufferings of Messrs. Masterman and
Bliss, for which wo are indebted to the gen
tlemen themselves, will be found highly inter
esting.
THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY AND THE AItHEST.
Messrß. Bliss and Masterman were arrested
by order of Lopez on a charge of complicity
iu a plot said to have been formed in Para
guay for the overthrow of President Lopez.
No such conspiracy, however,ever existed—at
least not to the knowledge of Mr. Bliss, and
ho emphatically declares that no member of
the American Legation in Asuncion ever had
anything whatever to do, either directly or
indirectly, with any movement against the
government of the Paraguayan President
The conspiracy story was concocted by Be
nigno Lopez, brother of President Lopez, un
der peculiar circumstances, to serve bis own
selfish ends. Benigno, it seems, having ac
cess to the National Treasury at Asuncion,
had abstracted therefrom-a—very large sum
of money, which fact, coming to the
know ledge of the President, he caused Bs
nigno to oe put on his trial for the robbery
he had committed. The offence having been
proved, the culprit was threatened with the
terrible vengeance of the tyrant; and
it was then that, in the hope of avert
ing the impending blow, he pretended
to divulge the secret of a conspiracy, in
furtherance of the end of which, he stated,
the money bad been taken from the Treasury.
To give plausibility to his invention, he
named as his accomplices United States Min
ister Washburn, the Paraguayan Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Berges, the Portuguese Con
sul, and several other gentlemen, among
them Mr. Masterman and Sir. Bliss, the for
mer of whom, be said, had a knowledge of
the plot, while the latter was secretary or the
onrsnization. Lopez believed the statements
of his brother; several of the parties against
whom Benigno had informed were arrested;
and on the loth of September last, as Messrs.
Bliss and Masterman, in company with Mr.
Washburn, were on their way from the Ame
rican Legation toembark in a U nited States
steamer with the intention of proceeding to
the United States, they too were arrested in
the streets of Asuncion, and forthwith taken
to the Paraguayan camp, about ;sn miles from
Asuncion. We shall let Mr. Bliss relate, in
bis own words, the story of the treatment he
experienced while in the hands of Lopez:
SCFFEIIIXGB Or TUB I'HI.SO.NKUd.
I was tuken in irons, Bays Mr. Bliss, to the
camp near Angostura, kept there under sentry
for p.rt of the time, wilh every precaution to
pn vent my escape. In the first place I was
rifled of my traveling bag, and even my comb
and brush and all the little conveniences a per
son always carries about with him when travel
ing. I was also robbed of almoßt every trifle on
my person. Everything was taken away; and I
was kept in the same snit of clothes for three
months with irons of 40 pounds weight on my
legs. One sentry kepi gnard over me by day,
and two by night I was brought np before the
Revolutionary Tribunal twenty different dsyß;
on one occasion I was fourteen hours on a stretch
before it; on another sixteen, and at other times
twelve hours. At first I was kept in an open
field for a number of days. We had absolutely
no shelter; afterwards branches were tied to
gether, and the grass in the field was cut and
placed in bunches, making a sort of ludian tent
about four feel high, and in a eloping, inclined
form, not high enough to stand in erect, and
wilh nothing to eit upon. In these we passed
the days and nights, lying npou the
ground, having no intercourse with any
body, a sentry with each one keeping watch over
ns, and not allowing ns to commnnicato with
anybody. Tho only variation we had from thiß
horrible monotony was being bronght before the
Revolutionary Tribunal. After about a month I
was moved to another hut, in order to write a
pamphlet, putting In narrative form my state
ments before the tribunals. There wero some few
alleviations after the change. It was one great al
leviation to have a root that would shelter mo
better from the inclemency of the'weather. My
Irene, however, were kept on, and all that I had
to eat was a little boiled beef, bat without salt.
After a time they gavo me a hide to sleep on I
was not allowed any other food than the boiled
heel; but It was. a great relief for me to have
something to do. Having employment'was a
great relief, because I had nothing to do before
but lay on my back and’ break straws. Lopez
made these who Inquired for us believe that we
were perfectly contented and satisfied and get
ting plenty of money, and that we would not
leave Paraguay on, tiny condition. My irons
were removed on the 4th December, jnst before I
was given Up."
THE TOHTURE.
Messrs. Bliss and Masterman were sub
jected to torture of the most cruel kind, in
order to extort a confession from them of the
existence of a conspiracy against Lopes. Mr.
Bliss thus describes the. torture:
“We were tortured with a contrivance to
which Lopez gave the namo of Oepu Uruuuuyana.
I havo, been fisticuffed in the presence or the tri
bunal, and I have been.beaten over tho hoad with
a drawn sword in the presence of tho same tribu
nal. I was put to the torture of the Cepo Uru
guayana, something similar to what wo call buck
ings It.consists in placing a musket under tho
knees, and muskets over the neck, with thongs
reaeonig froni one to the other, which, on being
tightened, force the bead down between tho
Knees,until tho chin touches tho musket; the pro
ii*fin < in ll f£ r< i 8s!l ? B tbe belly,, and causing great
acd other.parts of the body. I
Even i ed '° l hiB tortnro for ovejr 20 minutes.
mlVl/T 11 ™"? 1 on board' tho Wasp I
stoop without having a strong
reminiscence of the torture. It mado me sick
undwlL” 1 day8 ' Mr> Masterman fainted away
THE BUSS PAMPHLET.
The pamphlet which Mr. Bliss wrote while
a prisoner consists, as already intimated, of
the substance of the statements made by him
before the Tribunal—a ®ourt composed of
three priests, two of whom were “fiscals," or
prosecuting attorneys, the third acting as
Secretary. The. accused were allowed no
counsel, and no opportunity whatever of de
fending themselves; and the charges made by
the prosecutors were put into just such forms
as suited the purposes of Lopez and his
myrmidons. The statements extorted from
Bliss before this Tribunal were so important,
that he was ordered to put them in writing,
in a connected form, with a view to thelr •pub
lication.
“Ol course,” ho says, “there was not a word
of truth in them. They consisted of only what I
waß to say, and what was extorted from
me. They were perfectly fictitious; and although
the language was mine, I was cross-questioned
on every point, and made to give statements in
Just such terms ois they wanted, the whole being,
of course, purely imaginary, and mode under
compulsion, load to give a statement of Mr.
Washburn’s book. I wrote the fictitious history
of Mr. Washburn's dealings with the conspira
tors In Paraguay, In Spanish. Every sheet was
narrowly scrutinized, and I wits' compelled to
alter and revise according to the directions of
the authorities over me. I had a sergeant stand
ing over me to compel me to write fourteen
boms a day, and sometimes at midnight I was
arpused to write, in order to get aemuch oat of
me as they could- I havo been 1 obliged to write
fourteen hours at a time.' Lopez made me a pre
sent of 40 copies. I owe my liie to the fact that
I snccceded in making Lopez accept every word
ot my statements as Gospel truth. Lopez be
lieved In the conspiracy. He was such a fool
that be believed all the professions : a,fid state
ments made by the'crlsoners while Under tor
ture.”
RELATIONS WITH MU. WASHBURN AND OTHER
FOREIGNERS.
Mr. Bliss, as will be seen, completely
exonerates ex-Mlnister Washburn from the
charge of being a party to a conspiracy for the
overthrow, of Lopez: 1 '
“I will lake my bathi” he Bays, “that, to the
very best of my knowledge and belief there never
was any conspiracy. Mr. Washburn and myself
hare lived on terms of the closest intimacy ever
since we went to Paraguay. Every step that he
~ took was very wcllkuotvu to me. Every step I
took was known to him as were his to me. we
lived on terms of the closest intimacy with
the most prominent families there. With Dr.
Masterman and the officials connected with Mr.
Washburn, and the other foreign ministers and
others. It would have been impossible that these
men should havo been connected
with the conspiracy without' our
knowingj and without our knowing
of ihc slightest indication of anything of the
kind. Okcourse 1 cannot say that I was present
personally with any of the gentlemen all the
lime, and could not say that they did not do this,
that and the other, but i have very good reasons
for belieting that tberc was never any-conspiracy
on the port of the SOU;foreigners that hive bean
shot lor conspiracy. I havo fio means of know
ing how many were there imprisoned. , I can say
this, that all the foreigners of the coiralry of any
means were oerused in a mass—all the foreigners
In all of the official situations were accused in a
mass. There were tot five men left in the Trea
sury DcpartmenUall the others having been shot.
Almost ail the bouses ol the foreigners were
searched. Major Monlove, a member of
the legation, was arrested simultaneously
w.th mjself. It was only a constructive
oflencc. Lopt-e issued an order against anybody
bppearing on the street, and Major Manlove ap
peared on the street, and was arrested on that
chaige. He was kept In prison, and not allowed
to commnnlcate with Sir. Washbnrn on the
fcutjcct. Then, afterward, Maj. Manlove waa in
cluded in the charge of conspiracy, and exi ruled,
even before Mr. Washburn left the country.
Washbnrn had bis hands full with the case of
Ms6terman and mvself, and probably could
attend to bnt one thing at a time, and probably
supposed that the United States would send an
expedition to redress the grievances; and he sup
posed the commafider would have all means at
his disposal, and that all these grievances would
be redressed. Admiral Davis weDt up to
Paraguay, not to redress grievances, bat to prove
that Mr. Washburn was guilty of conspiracy.
“Mr. Washburn’s course was to all practical in
tents and purposes as good a one as he could
have pursued for protecting ns, and inducing
Uoptz to release us; in fact, Mr. Washbnrn has
really saved onr lives by trying to get us out of
tbe country, and by denouncing Lopez as a com
mon foe lo bamanlty as seon as possible. Tne
course of Admiral Davis is utterly irreconcilable
witd my ideas of wbat Is due to the Amirictn
flag. That is the opinion of the official repre
sentatlvteof the United Slates, the Cousuls, <kc.,
in all of the ports in which I touched, and such
Is certainly my opinion and the opinion of Mr.
Washburn and Gen. Webb."
BEI.EASE AND BETfUN TO TIIE UNITED STATE*.
On the «th ut December last the Cuitad
States Bteamer Wasp arrived at Angostura,
and the Admiral immediately opened com
munication with Lopez, demanding the sur
render of Messrs. Bliss and Mistermau.
Lopez promptly replied, and it was finally
arranged that the two gentlemen should be
given up on the condition that they were
received as prisoners of war, and not allowed
to have any communication with the territory
or the Allies. Mr. Bliss thus relates the cir
cumstances attending his return to this coun
try:
' I was put on board the United States vessel
Wasp without having had any communication
whatever with officers of the United Stales eqaad
ron; I was received as a prisoner, and not al
lowtd to commuLicato with the Admiral nor
with the Senior Captain; I was sent to the steer
age, nrd kept on hard tack, and with a sentry
over me; he was afterwards taken off, but In or
der to prevent rue communicating with anybody
be was put on again after 1 arrived at Monte
video; during the month that I was kept at the
River Platte X got no information from any one
In authority; I was left to collect my informa
tion from third parlies and unauthorized means,
and np to this time have had no authorized
cemmnnication. or from any person authorized
to make one. I learned from the Admiral that
he made the promise to Lopez that he was to re
ceive ns cn board ub prisoners, to be sent to the
United States for trial for the offence charged by
Lopez. We were taken up to Rio. I came on
board the Mississippi by request of Admiral Da
vis, who said that the United States would pay
my passage. Ho wrote me a note requesting me
to lake passage on the Mississippi, and report to
Mr. Seward on reaching hero. I had no inter
views with the Admiral whatever. They did not
allow me on the laßt day to communicate with
my friind6; did not allow me to receive any visits
or have any correspondence with' anybody at
Rio.
"Mr. Washburn Is going to Washington, to
make a formal complaint of the indignities ot
tered to the, members of the United States Lega
tion on board of the United. States Squadron. I
consider Admiral Davis’s conduct as insufferable
and inexplicable ineVery point of view. I am go
ing on to Washington in about.threo days. I am
delaying here only for the purpose of making
some communication to the gentlemen of the
Press. l.waDt to have fall and free communica
tion with Mr. Beward before bo goes out of of
fice. I fully indorse the policy of General Webb,
and I also fully subscribe to the view
of tho case that Mr. Washburn
could not possibly have assisted tho men in
getting out of the country. I think that Mr.
Washburn’s own fife was In danger. The honor
ot tbo United States is safe in tne hands of men
like General Webb. If he had tho ordering of
things Lopez would have been humiliated. If
Admiral Davie, when he was present In the Para
guay River with tho United Statos Squadron, had
demanded then an .ample apology from Lopoz
for tho insult, ho wouldhavo got It. Lopez him
self is personally a coward, hnd he would have
knuckled down.

U. 8. Steamship Guerriuhk, First Rate, Rio

You remember I saw you for tho first time on

12 days after your releaso from the power of

that of a very unhealthy person. Y'our emaci

derangement of your system. * One of my medl-r
cal associates, Assistant-Surgeon Brown, was so
much impressed with the wildness of the eyes as;
to fear some disease of the'brain.. He also re
marked the unhealthy appearance of your‘
eouDienance, and . the -peculiarity in the gait
l will also state that I examined Mr.
Masterman, who bad been on duty as a
surgeon In the Paraguayan army, and I found on
one of his anlcleß the cicatrix of an nicer recently
healed, which he (old mo bad been produced by
the bcavv irons put upon him by Lopez, and ho
explained to me tbe stiffnessand pain in the back
still existing, produced' by that torturing process
known as the Cepo Uruguayana, tbe nature and
name ’of which has been devised by Lopez. You
remember, too, that you informed me that after
your arrival od board tbe Wasp you suffered in
the abdomen when bending your body, and that
your'unhealthy appearance at that time was no
ticed by tho medical officer of the Wasp, Dr.
Gale, who, 1 believe, prescribed soma remedies
for yon. With my warmest sympathy for your
sufferings when in the power of this miscreant
Lopez, and best wishes for your restoration to
sound health, and prosperity In your future ca
reer, I am very truly yours,
M. Duvall, Surgeon of tho Elect.
Porter C. Bliss, Esq., Present.
Mr- iraaby Is Almost Penmaded to Ad
vocate tbe Adoption of tbe Constitu.
tloual Amendment, seeing In tbe Snc
cess of lliut measure a Chance of
Gain to tbe Democracy.
Post Uffis, ConfkderitX Roads (Wieh Is in
tho State nv Kentucky), Eeb. 11, 1869 That
cnssld Gonstooshnel Amendment hex bin on my
mind nite and day for inor’n a week. I bev slept
onto it, dreamed onto U, and it hex monopolized
my wakln hours to tbe excloosion nv everythin
qUe.‘ ; Ez an evidence nv bow much it hez absorbed
me, I wood merely menshen that twice while
Blttin in Bascom’s thinkin it over, strangers in
the placfe hev askt the crowd up to take euthini
without my beerin uv em at ail, when in fact I
went there, and wnz eittin there, and waltin
there for the express purpose nv avallin myself
nv sich chances. I stay at Baecom’s solely to
accept invitasbnss to drink, for his benefit. Of
ten bev I sed to him “G. W., elch is my admira-
Shen for the stcrlin qualities in yoor h£d and
heart, that I will drink myself into dwlrum
tremens, for yoor sake, willinly. Yoose me in
this capareiiy ez you will, my stamick Is glass
- lined atd ken -stacd even your lifaker." Not-
Wilhstandin this eeif-sacrifis Bascom has never
perposed to give me a per cent, on wat I put
Into his drawer in this way. Shood be do so I
Cood easily earn enuff to pay my board; but
shood he do it there wood be no merit in the
cacrlfis. -■ ■ .■!; ;> . - , ■>. .
I bev more than half made up my mind to go
for the adept-hen nr the CoEBtooßhne] vAmead
jnent, and that for the benefit solely nv Ibe Bim
qcrisy. I more than- half beleevo that the adop
shtn uv that 1 Amendment jist ez it hez passed
both Houses of (Jongris, wood result after all to
Our advantage; that Is ef the posishen we bev
alluz taken that the nigget is an inferior race be
tbe troo one. The Dlmoerisy hez never failed to
git tossession uv the inferior classes; They bev
Sole and undivided control uv.sich people ez hi v
siumick alone, without brans—Dimocrisy
flourisbis best where school houses arc ndf.
Thus the patriots who Inhabit the lower wa-ds uv
Noo York: the denizens uv Mockrtlvllle and uv
the Five Pints; the Southern half uv Delaware
whose people wood demonstrate the troolh uv
the theory that men wuz orijinellj oysters, waz
there any possibility nwmakin men nv etp; the
Southern port-hens uv Injlanny and lllinoy: all
these regions are strongholds uv Dimocrisy, and
agin these rocks the waves uv Ablishenism beat
)u vain.
Now the question wich agitates my mind is,
wood the niggers ef given the ballot rise above
us, or sink below us? They wouldn’t have fur
lo go either way. Ez a matter uv coarse, we
ebood cultivate em. Ez a matter nv course, the
minit they bev the ballot, they become to ns
Objects of Interest. The minit they hev
(he fate nv a member of Congris In
their bands, that minit the Democratic
Candidate for Congris goes for em. He
cannot avoid eatin with em, drinkln with em,
and eleepin with em. In the Sontb, the latter
operation wood be no Hew experience; the
prsetis bez bin more common with tnat portion
nv the race wich for eexual reasens, kin never
vote. Bnt the candidate, native and to the man
ner born, wood hev the advantage over the
Northi rn carpet bagger uv hevin long ago over
come his repugnance to color, wich is a great
pint gained.
Tralmdbyus and mlxin with us, how long
wood it t»ke to bring em down to ne? Kin
Pollock and Bigler hold them niggers otGarretts
tn»n in their tauds lorevet? I don’t believe it.
The polls is opened at Bascom’s, the caucasses is
hi Id at Baser m’s, and Bascom’s likker wood
fetch em in time. It hez made many nv ns loath
some objects, and why not them? At all events
1 know lhat amoDg em there’s any number
nv lazy cusses who won’t work and who
lake to new whiskey ez nateraliv ez I
do, and that porshen uvem we’re as certin to git
ez leaves is to fall. This class must gravitate to
us lor the eullishent reason that they hev no no
where else to go to find conjenvel assoseasbena.
Whether these fellows armed with tho ballot kin
contaminate enuff uv the others to give us a ma
jority, i.- tbe great moral question. At all events
ez the thing Is bound to go thro,l bleeve it is bet
ter for ns to make the most of It,and by yeeldin a
cbetrful assent to wbat we can’t help, make
thoor uv this class at least.
I feel lolerobly easy. Ef the ballot is given em
in Kentucky and we kin keep ont them cussid
missionaries with their primers and spellin books
and school-houses, I bev faith to bleeve that the
Abllshnists will, after all, hev acbeeved a barren
viet/y; this is for the present. Troo, we can’t
ttllez bold em. Tho Bible Societies, and the Cris
chen Assoseashens, and them other nachrel ene
mies nv our party, spellin books, will evenchoo
aliy git hold nv em, bnt they can’t do it for ten
years, and before that time passes, I shel
sleep in the valley. On good likker I eood only
hope to survive ten yeers—on Bascom’s a shorter
period will snfflse. I feel now a lack of phystkle
vigger. My hallln steps, and the IncapassUy to
take over three drinks per fifteen minits warn me
lhat my biler is meted, that therivits is weaknin,
and that ere long it must bu 6». After that wat
do I care who xools Kentucky? When I am
sletpin in the bnryin ground behind Penni
backer’s distillery, wat difference will it
make to me whether that bniidin is convertin
■oi n into sustenance, or whether it is bein
yoceed ez a Young Ladles’ Seminary, with teach
ers from Massacboosits with 1 their hair in intel
lectual ringllts? When this frail body is a mould
rin into dust, wat do I care wfieTOr Confederit
X Hoads is what it now is, or whether its name
is changed to Bumnervi]le, with a cotton factory,
and a nail factory and a roilin mill and sich; with
the Country cleared up around it, and all devoted

this frail body uint monldrin into dust, nnd
ez it aint slecpinln the bnryin ground, baton tbe

—I am willin to embrace Afriky. Ef it is kickin
Afiiky, why then Afrilty shel find there’s vigger

be kept in that condlehen? Hero is whore doubt
comes in and beclouds an’ otherwise fair plkter.
Kin Jchn Morrieey control tho niggers in his
Dceetrik, ez ho does tho Irish, and
by the 6ame meaDs? How long
, will it take to git n nigger uv ordinary sensibili
ties down to tbe pint uv nssoshiatin with John
Alien and Kit Burns? And for the Bake uv their
vote cood our Irish fellow citizens of Noo York
: be persuaded to forego thor trooly nasnhel atnooz
rncut Inkillin a d—d nigger, now and then? I
wont aek whether they cood be indoost to occa
sionally give them an offls.for that question wood
, be lunatic!, there hot hein quite offises enough in
’ Noo York to pervido for the Irish alone, to say
nothin nv the others who want em. !
Upon tho unsor to ■ these Questions depends my
ft€EBhcD. I shall study It over for a day or two i
loeger bt fore 1 decide. In the meantime I shell
prepare myself. I shel shako "hands' with. sidEf' i
niggers ez I meet, when unobserved by white
men, and shel prevent, ef possible, the hangtn uv J
aDy more uv them till I bev solved theße doubts, i
