Grand Enteriainnient.
PANAILk, March 15.—Rather a grand entertain
ment was given by the Panama Railroad Com
pany on the 10th inst. The occasion was the
transfer of lands from this republic to the com
pany. •Under contract with the United States of
Colombia, the railroad company was entitled to
several thousand acres of land not previously
delivered. The company had the right of selec
tion. The lauds along the line were chosen, and
President Correosei, as the agent of the federal
government, made the transfer. He had all his
officials with him; the several foreign consuls
wdre also present, and the members of the press.
The company left by a special train from Panama
at half-past 10 A. M., having previously taken
breakfast at the Grand Hotel. At Matachin,about
17 miles hence, a luncheon was provided, and la
the ciening, at Colon, a dinner was given at the
Washington House, the premises of
the railway company. It is not
to record the fact that Colombians
'had for once in their lives a decent feed that I oc
cupy your space on this subject; but ft is to
quote some very significant words which Presl
cent Correoso employed on the occasion. His
health was propot•ed, and In his reply, alluding
to the railroad and the proposed canal, he said :
"True, the Isthmus is on Colombian territory,
but, geographically, nature has made the Isth
mus, not for Colombia alone, but for the world"
These words are important, and may one day be
inconveniently , quoted for officials here who,
there can be no doubt, detest foreigners and
foreign enterprises "most cordially." '

LFront the Burliagton (Vt.) Free Prem. Match 23.1
The case of Walker vs. Crane, which has been
frequently alluded to in our columns,has recently
reached a final conclusion In the court of last re
sort. The plaintiff is our worthy townsman,
Hiram Walker. The defendant was, In 1864,
United States Provost Marshal, stationed at Rut
land. Mr. Walker, as some of our readers may
remember, was in Rutland attend
ing to some business in reference to procuring a
substitute for a man in his employ, was taken for
b6unty.jumper by Provost Marshal Crane, and
rudely ordered from his office. For resenting this
in not very carefully chosen language, Mr.
Walker was arrested by the Provost . Marshal and
matched to Jail in charge of a file of soldiers. For
this unlawful imprisonment Mr, Walker brought
stilt, obtained a verdict of $l,OOO damages in the
County.;and Slate Courts, and the Provost
Marshal , (or the Government, which • was
understood to be backing its officers)
still appealing.' . the case it Was carried to
the • United States &cult , Court with
the same result, and was finally carried to the
United States Supreme Court upon a writ of
error. :The United States Attorney-General, Mr.
Everts, being,satisflea that defence of the case
could not be maintained, gave it up without ar
gument,. •The writ of error was dismissed, and
the judgment,of the Circuit Court, giving Mr.
Walker $1;000' damages and his costs, was af
firmed._ The point of law involved was the right
of the Provost Marshal to arrest a citizen in Ver-
Ment, who was resenting' the rudeness of the
officer, and the decision is that he had no such
right and that no act of Congress , , could, under
the eireumstances, give such right.

(Correepondeace of the Pblh. Evening Bulletin
WAIIIINOTON, March 24, 1869. —The anxiety of
the office-seekers reached its climax this morn
ing, when it was announced that the Judiciary
Committee had been long in consultation lass
evening, and had arrived at a basis of settlement
upon the vexed question of the Civil Tenure bill-
It was eagerly asked, "Suppose the Senate passes
the bill in the shape reported by the Judiciary
Committee, what assurance is there that the
louse will concur? And then there will be more
wrangling for three or four days, and perhaps a
week, before the question is finally. settled." -
Atter the amended bill was reported to the
Senate by Sr. Trumbull, everybody expected
that a vote would be taken without any delay. so
as to send the bill over to the Home before it ad
journed. But no. One Senator after another
launched forth in debate, and when Senator
Sprague began to read the history of Jeffreys, the
unrighteous judge, I never witnessed such impa
tience as was manifested both on the floor and in
the galleries. One Senator abtuptly moved
to adjourn. but a chorus of other
Senators broke forth in a decided "No !"
which clearly indicated their Intention to all
the debate out, and have n vote before. adjourn
ment. So universal woe the desire to get rid of
this unpleasant and perplexing question, that a
Senator assured me he and a number of others
had determined to "sit it out and come to a vote,
if they bad to stay all night!' When I left the
chamber, there seemed little prospect of a vote
being taiten soon. There was little doubt, how
ever, that the Senate would pass the bill in the
same form as reported by the committee.
The batch of nominations sent to the Senate to
day by the Prek Went, among which were several
nominatlonaaemoving parties now in office, was
hailed as an earnest of his desire to meet the
Senate half way, and even to make concessions in
regard to the Civil Tenure bill. This pacific policy
will hasten the restoration of harmony and con
cord between the Executive and legislative
branches.
HIIRRYING UP THE WORK
To-day was a busy day in the several Depart
ments in preparing nominations to forward to
the President so as to be in readiness to send
them to the Senate as soon as the dead-lock is
broken, after which there will be a perfect ava
lanche for a few days, if accounts are true, as
Congress is very anxious to adjourn, and wants
to see the political guillotine put in operation as
rapidly as possible. There to good reason to be-
Ilene that most of the Philadelphia appointments
were decided upon today, but the precise aetton
in the different eases has not transpired. It will
not vary much from what has been foreshadowed
In this correspondence.

A PHILADELPHIA PIANO FOP. THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mr. Henry W. Gray, agent of the Schomacker
Plano Forte Company, of Philadelphia, was here
yesterday, and made a contrail with Gan. Mich
ler, Superintendent of Public Buildings, to supply
one of the finest pianos of their make for the use
of the White House, which will be delivered im
mediately. This is a great triumph for 'Philadel
phia mechanics and shows that Mrs. Grant, who
made the selection, appreciates the superiority of
sour artisans. . 8118QUICITANNA.
The Chinese in an Francisco.
It is evident that the antagonism which has
been growing up between the native and Chinese
population in California will before long culmi
nate in bloedy collision. The Ban Francisco
Herald, speaking of the Chinese, says that not
withstanding their former submission and peace
ful spirit, they have ' suddenly changed their
conauct, and for months past the courts have
been burthened with investigations of their"
crimes—investigations that have come to naught,
fop these people have no regard for the sanctity
of an oath, and perjure themselves by whole
sale." The Herald continues :
They have Introduced Into our Christian city
all the barbarous practices of their native land—
they do, not hesitate to hatch conspiracies, abduct
and assassinate, and, what is women, they employ
an organized gang of bravos to slay. their enemies
or rivals, and gangs the reward according to the
punishment that may be inflicted upon them. A
Chinaman can be paid to assassinate, even with
the death penalty staring him in the face, and
can coolly atipulate for the price of his neck
to be paid to his relatives in ease
he is hung. It Is said they
have carried their barbarous practices to such an
extent in this city as to offer large rewards for
the beads of their enemies. What can be done
with such a people? They are soulless, con
scienceless, devilish. Their vile passions, long
kept in ret3truint from isubnaission to the moral
influence of the white man, are now breaking
forth in barbaric tnry—they openly defy our laws,
and with brazen insolence basalt bur civilization.
Let us exhaust all the resources of the law to re
strain them, and if they fail, let us advise them to
return.

CUBA.
I he Revolution as Seen by an Eye Wit-
nese..
An American now in Cubs Benda the following
etter to the New York Herald:
The feeling of the natives of all classes is very
divided For. the revolution, and young and old,
rich and poor,have gone into it. General Dulce's
proclamations of amnesty and reform at first
produced some effect, and mina were in favor of
accepting them. Among these were one, if
not two, of the Arango's, and one of
them had begun negotiations to that of
tee'. For this purpose he had held con
munication with Colonel Mena, and appointed a
day when be would come in unharined under a
slag of trace. to confer with him. It was stated
.0 Principe that tktlonel Mena's orders to, the.
quad sent to meet Arango were to bring him the
corpse of that rebel. The fact was that he was
rhos as soon as he approached the suburbs of
the town, and the remains were liacked'and dis
figured after death. This event stopped entirely
the feeling in favor of accepting the amnesty and
reforms among the Cubans.
The insurgent force gathered round Puerto
Principe amounts to about seven thousand men,
~nd I was informed that eight thousand more
were bolding the line of railway between that
lty and Nuevitas. They are very enthusiastio in
the cause, but are badly armed, and ill supplied
with ammunition. Their only cannon are a few
pieces of iron pipe well plugged and bound round
With banded strips of the hard wood of the coon
ry. Every available instniment was applied to the
waking of a weapon for offensive purposes, and
a lance and machete—a short, heavy sword—were
,he general armament. A few had breech-loading
rifles captured from the Spaniards, but the want
of the proper ammunition rendered them of little
ervice. An old-fashioned flintlock muzzle
oading musket was the favorite arm, as it could
always do service whether there were
or
artridges, percussion caps, &a., in camp or not.
Whoever had one of these prized It above air the
patent arms to be had.
There are many negroesamong the insurgents,
most of them from the towns, or who were pre
viously free. The plantations have all stopped •
work, but the slaves have either gone into the
(Gyms to seek protection, or have fled into the
woods, where they remai n. Few or none of this
elate of the population Side with the Spaniards.
The war is carried on by the Cabana more as a
guerrilla war than by 'coder operations. When
ver a force of Spanish troops appears anywhere
the Cubans Scatter from its front, and seek by
.tobriscading behind trees and in the thick - woods
o annoy the troopa and diminish their numbers.
The great object among the insurgents in these
encounters is to get hold of the musket and
knapsack of every one they can wound or kill.
La this they will run extraordinary risks, three
or four running out from the bush at every
Spaniard who falls. The Spanish troops gene
rally behave well in these ambuscade encounters,
and whenever forced to halt or form during their
march, will roundly abuse their unseen foes,
styling them cowards, and calling upon them to
come out of their hiding places and show them
, Ives.
The feeling among the Spaniards is very bitter
indeed. They formed almost entirely the trading
, opulation of the country, and every crossroad
.nsl country village was occupied with their
• Lope. ,These are now abandoned wherever the
insurgents have appeared, and their owners have
withdrawn to points held by the troops. Taus
:he country Is bare of goods. At first a lenient
ollcy towards the prisoners prevailed, but the
Spanish volunteers have now become so violent
hat they ehoot nearly all they capture, calling
hem leaders. At the time I was with the !user-
rents they bad not executed any prisoners, but
he feeling In favor of retaliation was becoming
very strong.
No regular civil government exists in the die
data held by the insurgents. and no formal at
tempt has yet been made to organize one. In
the Central Department General Quesada's autho
rity is respected, while in the east Gen. Cespedes
looked upon as the leader. There is little com
iunnication between the several departments and
no concert of action. The only aim seems to be
war with the Spaniard. The insurgents in the
Villa Clara district hold their organization dis
inet from those of Cespedes and Qneeada.
From the insurgent; camp around t'uerto
eriecipe we rode through Cisizo de Avila. Es
iiirituean to, Villa Clara and Idacagua to C - oloa,
where we sold our horses,J and took the cars for
Havana. Wherever we stopped among the
country people the same feeling against the
aulards and confidence that their rule Is ap
proaching its end prevailed, while in
the towns the Spanish traders, :armed
,id organized by the government, enter
ain the most violent feelings against the
Cubans. No attempt to injure us was made by
ither party when we encountered them, although
both my companion and myself were searched
several occasions. The Spaniards were always
61BM/stint of us; but the insurgents in every in
-lance gave us good treatment because we were
Americans.
It is my belief that the insurrection cannot be
put down, and that it will continue to spread
until it involves the whole island; gut to take the
ortifled ports and towns the insurgents need
better arms and organization than they now
possess.
Murder in Connecticut
[From the New Haven Journal, March 31.1
The village of Barkhamsted, Litchfield county,
,was the scene of a moat horrible murder at about
,7 o'clock on Monday morning. The victim, Jae.
'Ellckorc, of Pine Meadow, a machinist by trade,
,being unable to obtain work at his regular em
ployment, went to Centre Hill, Barkttrasted,
'and engaged himself to a man named Evans,
as a wood-chopper. He had been
;boarding with Evans for some weeks, and it is
not known that there had been any difficulty be
tween them. At the time of the murder they
here sitting at breakfast together, when :Evans
suddenly Jumped up, seized tne carving-knife,
;and throwing Elielsox's head back, cut his throat
ifrom ear to ear. Ht ox warted up, with the
blood streaming from the wound, and ran ten
rods from the house, when he dropped dead. The
murderer fled to the woods, and up to the latest
accounts had escaped capture.

illrbeßfarchloneba de Ia Valette.
ll'eve'ol-the rising generation' would euspect
that the lady who has borne for some twenty-=
seven years the sounding title of a marchioness,
and who has figured brilliantly as an amilaatie
dress at various courts of Europe, and who •has
died at 'net at the head of the palatial residence
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France,
was once a simple — village maiden of the unpre
'ending State of Rhode Island, of the name
of. Fowle. Such, however, was the fact; but
it was her fortunate destiny to rise, lace the first
Catharine of Relish, far above the career
the was apparently born to fill. At an early age
rho went over to London to reside with an elder
sister, who was married to an opulent A.nierican
hanker, 'timothy Wiggins, whose house was
, iterwards Involved in the financial disasters of
1837. While mill in her teens, the beauty, intelli
gence and accomplishments of Miss Fowle at
tracted the admiration of Mr. Samuel Welles,
then the eole American banker in Paris, who
-übsequently married her. For sortie ten
years the presided with infinite grace, tact
Lind dignity over the elegant mansion of
Mr. Welles in the Place St. George, and her
dinners and balls were the envied resort not only
of the fashionable Americans residing in Paris at
that epoch. but equally so of all that were most
distinguished in the society, literature and art of
the French capital. In the calamitous year of
1857 the banking house of her husband was
seriously compromised and his failure was daily
xpe etc d. Mr. Welles made desperate efforts to
retist the pressure, but in vain, and his fortune
and position were trembling on the brink of
utter ruin. At this crisis his wife, with an
energy characteristic of her motherland, drove to
the bank of France, obtained an interview with
Corint d'Argo'ut, the Governor, submitted to
nim the ample, though depressed securities of her
husband's portefeutile, laid by her forcible and
moving statements effected a loan of several mil
lions of francs, which tided the house of Welles
At. Co. over the yawning gulf of bankruptcy. In
1841 Mr. Welles died at an advanced age, leaving
his large fortune to his widow and their only
son. then quite a youth. At the close of the fel-
lowing year Mme. Welles,then in the meridian of
life, a handsome and distittgue woman of the
world, married the Marquis de is Valette,already
a rising member of the diplomatic corps.
In . making this match Mme. Welles
displayed her habitual discernment, for while
others beheld in the Marquis only a brilliant man
of fashion, the recognized those commanding
traits which have raised him successively to the
highest posts in the State and .secured for him
the unbounded confidence of his Imperial master,
who; finally, has bestowed on him the crowning
guerdon of his satisfaction by exalting him to
the Premiership of France. From this lofty
position wide]] her rare esprit and varied expert
-
caw eminently fitted her to adorn, but which
tier declining health disabled her to enjoy, the
Marc.hioness de is Valette descends, full of ho
nors, to the grave. In the height of her pros•
parity, and surrounded by the glitter and pomp
of power, she was always gracious and hospitable
to her countrymen, and never indifferent to the
Welfare of her native land. Her son and heir, the
Count Welles do la Valette, married two years
since a daughter of M. Rouher. the Achilles of the
French Cabinet, and the most gifted orator ofthe
empire.—Herald.

THE COURTS.

meats were entered to the following eases r
Graham vs. Lane et al. Error to Oommon Pleas
of Susquehanna Co. Judgment reversed,. and
venire de novo awarded.
Crawford vs. Winner. Error to C. P. of Ly
coming Co. Judgment affirmed.

Wyckoff vs. Hughes. Error to C. P. of Wayne
county. Judgment affirmed with instructions.
William Brooks and Charles Orme vs. The
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Error to Oyer
and Terminer of Monroe county. This, is the
case involving the question of the right of a pri
vate citizen to arrest for felony without warrant,
and the farther question whether a killing in
1 - relating such an arrest Is more than man
slaughter.
Alter stating the facts of the robbery by Brooks
and Orme, and their pursuit and the killing of
Theodore Brodhead, Justice Agnew dlscusuid the
questions involved, holding that in the commis
sion of a felony, a private person making fresh
pursuit on reliable information may arrest the
felon is the law of the State, and applied Ude to
to the other question of the degree of guilt in
volved in the death of the pursuer, holding that
it was for a Jury to say whether it was mordsr of
the first or second degree. The Judge adds •
-It is argued that larceny is not such 'a felony
as justifies arrest. The force of this - distinction'
is not discernible. Though sometimes a slight
offence, it is often grave and important in its
consequences. A loss which wonld be grievous
to a poor man, and enlist alt i - energies in the
pursuit, might i scarcely felt by one who is
rich. To tell the former th his right to seize
the felon and bring him to justice depends on
the amount In value, would only mock his
earnestness and condemn the law.
"It is also said that arrest by a private person is
contrary to the genius of our institutions, and is
the relic of a barbarous age. But the reverse Is
the case in a republic, where the people them
selves represent its sovereignty and its security.
The felon is an enemy to that sovereignty and
security, forfeits his liberty, and cannot complain
that the hand of his fellow-man arrests his flight
and returns him justice. What title has he to
immunity from the law which he has violated,
and to be permitted to escape its penalty,because
the officer of justice is not at hand to seize him?
He has broken the bond of socletyl he has
dealt a blow at its welfare and security, and he
has placed himself in open hostility to all its
faithful members; whose duty it begrimes to bring
him to justice. We speak of the known felon. It
is a misapplication which applies the guards of
the constitution end •the sacred principles of a
just and well-regulated liberty to his case. The
harmless citizen stands. upon a different footing,
and a private person arresting him does
at his peril, and if killed, the crime is
only manslaughter. The distinction is founded ,
in nature, and its reason is clear. An innocent
man is unconscious of guilt, and may stand in his'
own defence. When assailed under a pretence
which is false, his natural passion rises and he
turns upon hia assailant with indignation and
anger. To be arrested without cause is to the in
nocent great provocation. If in the frenzy of
passion he loses his self-control and kills his as
sailant, the law so far regards his infirmity, that
me, acquits him of malicious homicide. But
this is not the conditiowof the felon. Conscious
of his crime, he has no just provocation—he
knows his violation of law, and that duty de
mands his capture. Then passion is wickedness
and resistance is crime. Neither reason nor law
awards to him that sense of outrage which
springs into a mind unconscious of offence, and
makes it stand in defence of personal liberty. On
the contrary,fear settles upon his heart,and when
he uplifts his hand the act is prompted by
wicked hate and the fear of punishment. It has
been said by an authority much older than our
law that the wicked fleeth when' no man pnr
sneth. A sense of guilt cannot arouse honest in
dignation in the breast, and therefore cannot ex
tenuate a cruel and wilful murckir to man
slaughter."
The sentence of the court is affirmed and the
record Is remitted for further proceedings accord
ing to law.

DIAMOND MINE EN OEM NEW YOIIIE.
An Enterprising Yankee Exploring the
Oily Sewers-1 he stews.* ft Bimini of
IVntehest Ittngr, anti niamonits.
An intelligent man, of the best address, was be
fore Recorder Pope, of Hoboken, yesterday
morning, under arrest as a suspicious character.
He stepped off the ferry boat at about o'clock
y este! day mornins, encased in rubber
top boots and a rubber overcoat and
cap, was besmeared with mud, and carried a well
tilted carpetbag. Officer Burke, who effected
his arrest as a suspicious character, took his
carpet-bag, and, on examination, found old
watches, saver spoons, knives, jewelry, bottles
of honor, a considerable quantity of old pennies,
some of an ancient date, ten-cent pieces sliver
pencil cases, finger rings (one of which is sup
posed to be a valuable diamond ring), and various
other articles. On being asked by the' Recorder
Bs to how he had obtained all that property, ho
said that about a year or more ago he read, a para
graph in the New York papers about a weaken
and a boy who had found considerable trea
sure in the sewers of that city. This thing
haunted his mind, and believing that a shrewd
Yankee could better find property than anybody
else, he determined on going treasure-seeking,
and for that purpose had provided himself with
a map showing the sewers of Now York, with a
compass, with a six-shooter to protect himself
trom rats or whatever might inipeae his progress.
with candles, &c. Donning his waterproof
apparel, he entered on Tuesday morning,
a sewer on Houston street, near the East
River, continued his explorations twenty-four
tours, and came out yesterday morning near the
Hoboken ferry, with his carpet-bag well stored
with property. He took the boat for Hoboken
for the purl.ose of washing and cleaning himself
in that city, preparatory to seeing his friends in
New York. Every thing indicating his story to
be true, the prisoner was discharged from cus
tody. His name is John W. Crave. He comes

The 'Reported Marriage of a Member
of the Chtlllollo znitmoop.
[From the Boater' Journal, March 23.1
An account has been published in the papers
regarding the marriage in Paris of Mrs. Parker,
of this cliv,to M. de Champs, of the Chinese Em
bassy. It' appears that for good and justifiable
reasons the marriagd did not take place.
Mrs. Parker is the widow of the sou of
Harvey D. Parker, of this city. An engage-
Went was made some months ago, and the mar
riage was to take place in Paris. Mrs. Parker,
accompanied by her father-in-law. went to Paris,
when the requirements of M. do Champs regard
ing. the Settlement of the dowry wore so maul
fectiViinjust, that even Mr. Parker's liberal pro
positions were at length withdrawn and she en
gagement terminated. The bearing of Mrs.
Parker and Mr. II D. Parker is represented as
having been highly creditable, and they were
fully sustained by the leading Americana in Paris.
