THURSDAY, NOVEMBER i, 1880.
| In several of tho- cotemparary journal? of
the day, a very natural and preper effort has
Been made to minister to tho curiosity recebtly
awakened in regard to tho origin and history
of the title and dignities borne by one who hnA
for a few weeks past been rogdtded, as it tVefe,
the gnest of the peßpio of the .United Statos.
The teadets of The Press may not- find alto
gether commonplace a few notes on this Sub
ject whioh wo are about to offer them, although
very little that is strictly new could be ex
pected in a Sold which has been so thoroughly
gleaned. , , \
A well-written sketch of tho several Princes
of Wales, that 1 appeared a fow days since hx
the Now York Herald, terms the pro3ent PrlnoU
the 11 twentieth” of the order; but tile sdrud;
Writer, in Bnbsecjuontly presenting theiii, does:
not describe so many. Unless have misJ.
apprehended tho anlhorities in this regard,;
Prince Albeet Edward is the eighteenth whoj
has been duly installed in this dignity. The
Herald enumerates in its list the wiso and dis
tinguished Prince Edwahd (afterwards EdiVauD
III) as the “ second Prince of Wales.” It
Will bo seen, hereafter, thfit this is an error, 1
Edward the “ Black Prince,” of world-wido
ianio as tho hero of Crocy and PoictieTS, ,was
tho second possessor of the title in the English
lino of sncoossion. His’ father was never in
vested with it.
In regard to tho origin of his title, while
Huhe sconts it as “ a vulgar story,” the Welsh
historians, and many of the early English wri
ters, concur substantially in this relation:
Upon the death of Llytyellih Ap Grupstd,
King Edward I of England insisted that the
people of Wales should submit themselves to
his rule. Their reply was, that they were un
der a solemn national pledge to accopt no one
as their prince who was not of good repute,
and 'was unable to speak a word ,of English.
Tho astute Edward then tendered them his
infant son, recently born at Caernarvon dastlo,
on the borders of Wales, where Queen Elea
nor was at that time sojourning. Ho was re
luctantly accepted by tho Welsh chieftains j
and the King established the titlo in April;
1284. Coke sjys, in regard to It: '
(( Tn the limitation of his estate in this prlnoi
pility, there is n crest mystery; for less then a
Btate of inheritanoo.no should not have, therefore a
qualified fee he had therein in this form ; ‘ Sibi et
Haredibus sms Regibus Anglia.’ That by hli
decease or attaining to the crown, this dignity
might be extinguished, to the end that the King,
for tho time being, should have the privilege to
create his hoir apparentPrinoe of Woles, as he',
himself had been, by his progenitor.”— Cite 4,
Inst. f. 143-4.
Such is generally admitted to bo tbo origin
of the title; as connected with the cldest'aorf
of the sovereign of England. Some writo(s4-:
Sjeldbn for instance—placo the of
this title irrtho "heir apparent in XXXIX'M
Hbhhy 111. In tho year 1804, the additional
title of the “ Earl of Chester” was conferred
npon the first Prince of Wales, who threo
years afterwards succeeded his father, under
tho title of EnwABD 11.
It is npon the authority of Nicolas, in his
“ Synopsis of the Peerage of England,” con
purred in by Bubke and others, that we have said
Howard 111 was tievotmado Prince of Wales
but as tho point Seems to bo apprehended
otherwise, (probably because Holldkibiikd
carelessly so stated in his “ Chronicles,”) wo
copy at length tho evidence Of Nicolas :
“It IS worthy of observation, that Edward 111
never bore the title of Prinoe of Woles. Tho ear
liest writ of summons to Parliament, in whioh his
name ooeurs, Is that of sth August, 9 Ed. 11, 1329
—then being about oight years of age—wherein he
is styled 1 Edwardo Comitt Cestrensi fiho nos.
tro cJuirtsrimo and by the some designation he
wae summoned in the 15, IS, 17, and 18 of Ed. 11.
Some writers assert he wds orc&ted Priaoo .of
Wales and Hoke of Acqultaihe, in' a Parliament
held at York, 15 Ed. II; but sot only is no
notioe of such an occurrence to be found in the
Bolls of Parliament, but it is seareoly credible, if
sooh a oroatlon roaliy took place, he should have
been summoned to the next and subsequent Parlia
ment, as Earl ofChestsr simply; when his fathor,
in oonseqnenee ef his oreation to that prinoipality,
was regularly summoned 4th of July, 30. Ed. I,
1322, (when he booamo eighteen years or age,) and
until he ascended the throne, as ‘ Edwardo Prin
cipt Wcdhos et Comitt filio suo eharissimo.’ ”
Nicolas , vol. 1, p. 5.
Tha second Prince of Waloß, the ronowned
“Black Princo,” wag created thus, and, at
the same time, Earl of Chestor, in ,1338; and
in 1387 was made Duke of Cornwall, limiting'
this latter title, also, to tho « first begotten
son.” Ho' was invested with tho Garter (an
order founded by his father) tho next year
after ho became Prince of Wales. It was
this Prince who first adopted tho distinctive
badge and motto, which has been so long tho
subject of discussion in England—continued
there down,,almost to this day, and now, it
would seem, transferred to tins country. Tho
version of this motto and tho account, per
haps more generally received than any other
of its origin, is that briefly stated in The
Press on Wednesday, in reply to an inquiry
of a correspondent. A writer in the New
York Mm, however, about the same date,
gives a widely different signification to the
words “ Jch Dien.” Tho Mias very plausi
bly (and, we may add, very positively) asserts
that the motto was, or is, “ Kith Dyn,”
which, renjlerod from tho Welsh, signifies tho
same as «icce homo” —“behold tho man.”
This is supposed to bo the pertinacious re
sponse of King Edward to tho objections,
sot up by the Welsh chieftains wlion ho pre
sented his infant son. Dyn is the Welsh term
for man, as Data is in tho kindred Irish lan
guage, we bolieve. Tho plume of ostrich
leathers is ascribed to the same origin by the
New York Mias, as that given in The Press
—a trophy won from the King of Bohemia by
the “ Black Prince,” in tho battle of Crecy.
We recur agaiu to that acute and assiduous
antiquarian, Sir Harris Nicolas, as having
added even to the researches of tho learned
Olmoeh on this controverted subject, and
quote from Mchxologia, volume xxi., p.
850-84.
“ The popular aooount of tho adoption of tho
Ostrich feather, by Edward, the ( Biaok Prince,’
has been well stated by Sanford in apoaking of tho
battle of Greoy: 1 Among many eminent persons
who died on that day, on tho Frenoh part, was,
John of Luxemburg, King of Bohemia, who fell by
the oonqnerlng hand of the Prinoo, who deplnmod
his oasqno of those Ostriok foathers, whioh, in me
mory ot thisviotory, bcoamo his oognizanoe—some
times ueing one feather, and sometimes three, (as
appeareth in his seals and on hiß tomb,) whioh
scrolls containing this motto ICH DlEN—that .is,
I serve: John, King of Bohemia, meaning there
by, he served the Fronoh' King in his wars, and
was his stipendiary.’
“ Others make the motto tho Prince’s own device,
alluding to tho words of the Apostle that * the heir
white he is a child dijfereth nothing from a ser
vant ;’ and this is the more probable conjecture,
seela&that this motto and tho foathers have ever
beaiMbce borne by our Prinocs of Wales, heirs ap
parreW to the ktnga of this realm, with the addl
tionroy the more modern, of a ooronot within whioh
they are enolroled.”
Sir Harris Nicolas, alter giving from Cad
dish a passage very similar in tho conclusion,
goes on to notico tho varions collateral ovi
denco upon this point. An inventory was
made of all the Queen’s plate, by the keeper,
in 1869, (48 Ed. Ill,) which showed that all
her plate that was marked bore her consort’s
arms, qnarterod or impaled with her own, or
tho initial of her name PiHLLirA— except an
alms dish, which was marked with « a sable
escutcheon (that of tho Black Pnnco,) charged
with ostrich feathers.” He continues:
11 The piece of plate on which tho foathers ore
for. the first timo found, is not stated to have been
given her by the Prinoeof Wales, as would have
been the ease had it been thus dorived; and the
inference is, that, like the arms of Halnault, and
like the Initial letter P, the OBtrleh leathers in the
sable shield belonged to Queen Philippa, either
ae a badge of her family, or as arms borne in right
of some territories belonging to her hooso.”
Th» will of the “ Black Prince ” is next re
viewed, dated 13th June, 1876, by which i
appears the feathers wore a badge, and not ar
morial ensigns, as he twice calls them “ our
badge ;” and It is also manifest they were
never used as his crest. Another inference
drawn from the language of the will is, that
the badge was wholly unconnected with war,
inasmuch as in tho directions ho gives for his
funeral, he orders that the man and horse to
precede his corpse, “for peace,” shall wear
his “ badge ” of oßtrioh feathers. In farther
refutation ol the tradition which assigns this
LABELS
MECHANICS, BANKS,
The Ptinccß ol Wales,
plume to. the battle Crocy, Sir’ Harris Nico
las remarks:
_ “ It is material ta observe that tha oreat of King
John of Bohemia, who felt at Oreoy, was two
jringg of a vtlllufe, semte of linden leaves. of gold
ditdhot a jplu&a 6f ostrich, featJUrs. t
An ostrich is said to havq-boon the badge ofEm
peror Charlea the Fourth, King of Bohemia, son of
the King John of Bohemia,'Who was slain at Oreoy;
ahd It was undoubtedly the badgeof his daughter
Anne, oonsorfc of King ’Riohard tho ‘Second.
Queen PhllHpa’s grandmother was the sister of Hen*
Sr, Count of Lu3£ambßr2, great-grandfati\or of the
mperor Charles, the.Foarth; and if, as there is
reason to suppoab', an ostrich was the ancient badge
of that houqo, tho dstHon feathers borne by (jdeon
PiiUlijia and her sons ihaV been derived from

shalpdeclde when such bold writers as Jaiies

Edward, tho Black Prince, died in 1376, in
the lifetime of bis fatlior, and the next pos
sessor of the title of Prince of Wales was bis
son, Richard, who, in -1377, was so created,
and the additional title oi'Earl of Chester-con
ferred upon him. It was in this same year
that Edward 111 removed Staple, Lord
Mayor of London, and appointed Sir Richard
Wmttikgton (of wbose cat tho nursery sto
ries are told) in bis place., Richard II proved
every--way unw.orthy his bravo and accom
, plished father, and died miserably.'
The fourth Prince of Wales. was Henry
Plabtagenet, the son and heir apparent of
Hzkrt IY. He succeeded to the crown as
in 1418. Shakspoore has immor
tal&edldm as the <s mad-cap Harry”* .and re

is made memorable by his deeds, of arms. ‘- 1

the title the same year by Edward, eldest
spn and heir apparent of Edward IV. This
Prince succeeded to the throne, and became
afterwards, With his brother, a victim of as
sassins in tho Tower of London, who wore in
the pay of the bldody Richard.
The sevonth Prince of Wales was another
Edward Plantaoenet, son and heir apparent
•of Richard 111. Ho was installed in 1488.
The first Prince of Woles of tho house of
Tudor, Arthur, con and heit apparent bf
Henry YII, was the next in succession, and
in 1608 he was succeeded by his brother
Henry, Duke of Tork, who reigned afterwards
as the famous Hjsnry VIII. Edward, jbod of
Henry YIII, was the next Pri^je 1 of Wales,
and became afterwards, in 1547, Edward YI.
Mary and Elizabeth were the succeeding
sovereigns'of England; and, if we were to
bellevo a note in BlaOksfcone’s Commentaries,
Vol. 1., p. 228', which states, on the authority
of Hume, who in tarn cites Burnet, Mary
and Elizabeth were created by their father,
llbnry VIII., Princesses of Wales; both of
them (Elizabeth after tho illegitimation of
Mary) being heirs apparent to the crown.
It appears, however, upon carefhl examination,
this statement is unfounded.
Stuart, son and heir
apparent of James I, was made the eleventh
Prince of Wales in 1600. 'Being heir to
tho Scottish crown also, ho took the addi
tional of, Duke of Bothsay, Earl ,of
Garrick, utid *Baron Renfrew, in Scotland.
His Quarles Stuart, succeeded him
in those ‘dignities in 1016, and ascended the
throne, unfortunately for himself and the
country, *in 1626. His son, Charles 11,
Was Duke of Cornwall, and inherited the
'’Scottish titles; but, although declared, was
never actually and formally created Prince of
Wftles.
We now como to tbo house of Hanover,
wlro have had,, since thoir accession to tho
crown of England, five Princes of "Wales of
their lino. Tho first was George Augustus
afterwards George 11. His son, Frederiok
Louis, was, in 1729, made Prince of Wales;
and, dying in tho life-time of his father, was
succeeded hy his son, George William
Frederick, who came to the crown in 1760,
as George 111. His eldest son, George, was
made Prince of Wales, 1762 became subse-
quently Prince Regent, and finally King
George IV, on the decease of his father in
1820. Tho eighteenth Prince of Wales is the
present one, and ho was duly installed 4th of
December, 1841.
A correspondent of tho JSvening (Phila.)
Bulletin,. Wo .perceive, has stated that tho
family name of tho Princo Consort of Eng
land is Busicni. Upon what authority tho
statement is made we have not seen. It is
perhaps hot generally known, that Princo
Albert comes in an almost direct line, through
his German ancestry, from the Great Alvred
of England. It is in this wiso: the son o
AltrEd—EdwAbd tho elder,. King of Eng
land—was father of Editha, Empress Otiio of
Germany, who was mother of Luitoaede, who
became tbo consort of Conrad, Duke of Lo
raino, by whom sho had a son, Otho, Duke of
Franconia, whose death occurred in 1005.
This Prince’s grandson, Conrad 11, Emperor
of Germany, loft at his docoaso a son and heir,
Emperor Henry 111. Tho daughter ot this
Princo, Itha, married Leopold ot Austria,
the direct ancestor ot Leopold VI, third
Duke of Austria, whoso ..granddaughter, Ger

Letter from Delaware.
;Corroa&OQdenoo of The Press.!
Wiljungton, Del., Oct. 27, 1860.
The o&dv&sb in Delaware excites very little at*
tention outside of our own Btate, inasmuch as tho
oleotoral vote, to whomaoover gtvon, will affect the
result very little; bdt, like the frog iu the fable,
lt what may be fun to you is death to us.”
On last Monday evening, the‘‘Little Giant”
and “'Diamond State” olubs paraded for the first
’time, to the number of about three hundred. They
attended a meeting in the First ward, whioh was
addressed by John O’Byrne, your.city..
The meeting was very large, and his speech iwes
Well received. Do Wednesday evening our friends
had a torchlight procession. The Campaign Club,
and the Seventeenth and Nineteenth ward clubs of
your oify participated. I have no heßitatiPij in
saying*that it was one of the largest and best | ever
sawinouroity. About 1,000 came down in the
Warner from your city. They made a very. Cre
ditable display, and, considering that we have not
tho federal troosury at our back, ouf own people
turned out well.
On Thursday evening the Disunionists had also
a prooession/ Candor compels me to soy that it
was not only large, but everything passed off well.
-A few hundred, oame down from the city. Your
- delegation, was oomposed of elerks iu the Custom
Jlouse, Jtovy Yardf and .other. Federal offices, ! It
was hqt with them % jahor of love, but one of coni'
. pulsloaV ? ' 3 I < fim inftrmld l j3fiK% gentlwjjah went to
the Breoklnrrege beadquftrtewmyMfrcity, when'
they were making arrangements to visit our city,
and said, to the young men there ns*:
gambled that <s \uey"must go,.and if any refuied
to go ho would be out of employment in the morn*
ring;” if they had no money it would be provided
for them. He knew to whom ho was talking.
Every night this week we haye had meetings
.or processions. They are now the order of the
night. Last evening we enjoyed a rare treat
The eloquent son or Pennsylvania, your fellow
townsman* Daniol Dougherty, Esq:, addressed the
oitlsens of Wilmington. Mr. Dougherty addressed
himself particularly to those calling themselvos
Democrats, but who now support Breokinridge and
Lane. He demonstrated the regularity of the
nomination of Mr. Douglas, and asked for him;as
the nomineo of our party the support ef all men
who have hitherto acted with the Democratic
party. Ho showed the utter absurdity of tho
chargos that our platform is not sound, by stating
that Hunter, Davis, Guthrie, Breokinridge. and
Lano were balloted for, and urged by their friends
on that very platform in the Charleston Conven
tion. If any man othor than Douglas bad been
nominated tuo platform was good enough, but the
venerable and honorable Oldman In Washington
wab bent on the dostruotion of Mr. Douglas.
Mr. D. also paid his respects to Senotor Bayard,
and then he replied to a speech that Chevalier
Yanooy madohoro a fow weeks ago, iu which he
was for tho Union. Mr. D. proved from the record
that Yancey was a disanionist. When Breokln
ridge was nominated, Yancey addressed the mob
at toe Maryland Institute, and said he was neither
for nor against the Union. Mr. D. closed by an
appropriate quotation from Washington’s Farewell
Address.
Mr. Dougherty spoke for over two hours. It is
impossible to give a synopsis of his speeoh. But
to say that it was good is nothing. To say it was
the most oloquent, ohastn, and ontertaining speeoh
delivered in our town for eight years is saying
nothing more than the truth.
Mr. D.’s refutation of Yancey was so ele&r and
oonolustro that no one can gainsay it. He proved
all he said.
i* Our friends are proseoutiog thecanvaas vigorous
ly in our little State, with what result I oannot
say. I, howover, do believe that Benny Biggs,
the high-falutin orator and plougbboy, who has
boen nominated by the Know-Nothing-Disunion
lottery-grant party for Congress, will be defeated.
That ho will be should be the prayer of all honest
men.
After tho election you may again hear from

An Old Man’s Home in Philadelphia*
Not long since we spoke of the existence of an
institution of this class in Boston and another in

Singular Affair in Boston*
Tho Boston Traveller , Ootober 30, says: Qaite
ft tragedy ccourred at a little before one o’clock to*'
day, at store No. 43 Hanover street, opposite the
American Houso, ocouplcdfor the aalo of boots and
shoes by Reynolds, Mollondv, &, 00., whose place
of manufaotnro is in the town of Randolph.
We have obtained the following fsots in regard
to tho matter, whioh oaused a groat sensation in
the neighborhood of its oocurronoe :
It appears that a young woman of tho name of
Fanny May, not mnoh over twonty years of age,
of good personal appearance and pleasing address,
has been for the last four or five years in the em
ploy of Mr. J. G. Hernandez, a German Jow in
tho wholesale peddling business, formorly of Law
renoe, but latoly removed to Washington street, of
this oity. Mr. Hernandez is a fine-appearing and
well-droßßod man of twenty-eight or-thirty years.
He is married, and has had three ohildron.
Miss May states that Mr. Hornandoz was desi
rous that she should continue iu bis employ, which,
for reasons of her own probably, she declined.
He was quito pertinacious, but finally made an
appointment to meet her this foronoon at the store
of hor brother-in law, a member of the boot and
shoe firm who keeps at No. 43, when she was to
furnish him with n copy of the aoconnt between
them.
They met at this atoro, according to appolnt
mentjmd aftor a little figuring, Miss May handed
Mr. Hernandez tho acoount. Up to this time
nothing unusual bad been noticed in his appear
ance, bat on reoeivitig the account be suddenly
drew a pistol, a six-barrelled revolver, and aiming
at Miss May’s bead, fired it. *
The screams of the woman and tbo discharge of
the pistol wore beardintheadjoining store, kept
by Messrs, "Wilson, Fairbanks & Go., and Mr.
Wilson at once went in to nsoertain the troublo.
Miss May, who was sitting in a chair when Her
nandea first fired, throw herself into the arms of
her brothor-ln-law, Mr. C. 11. llall, who had a nar
row escape, tho ball from the second discharge of
the pistol passing ovor and In close proximity to
his head and lodging in tho wall.'
It was at this moment that Mr. Wilson came-in,
when Hernandez, finding that he had failed in his
attcmpt, suddenly turned the pistol around, aiming
at bis abdomen, end fired, after which ho swallow
ed something, supposed to bo poißon, calmly di
vested himself of nis ooat and vest, and laid down
upon a box, remarking to some one who desired
him to go to a carriage which had boon procured to
oarry him home, “ Let mo die !u peace. ”
He was eventually convoyed to his homo, No 32
Levorott street, and is supposed to be in a dying
condition.
Miss May was takon home to Allaton street* In a
carriago, by Mr. Wilson, whon it was soon ascer
tained that she had fortunately osoaped alt se
rious injury. Tho ball probably, after striking
the forehead, glanced off without infliotlng any
wound of severo character.
It appears that thore has been some troublo in
regard to the settlement of accounts between
them, but Miss May had not the least reason to
antioip&to a deadly assault at the hands of her
former employor.
Tho pistol was taken charge of by Mr. Wilson.
Throe of the barrels havo been discharged, and
three &rd yet loadod with powder and ball.
Bo lid and Tax Question m Pittsburg,
[From the Pittsburg Chroniole, October 90 ]
It is not more gratifying than astonishing, the
ohango wrought within a Tew weeks in tho opinions
of some of our most prominent anti-tax men. Wo
do not pretend, to say that the stand taken by the
Supremo Court has hod anything to do with the
matter, but certain it is that a wonderful revolu
tion In the sentiments of some of the most noisy
of oar anti-tax lights.has taken place, and men
who spoko of nothing but resistance and rebellion
a short time since, are now coming forward, and
asking, as a favor, that they be permitted to re
cord their votes in support of the tax. Evory one
knows what an active part Captain Ward has
- taken in this anti-tax orusade. Not content with
proaohing opposition to the mandates of the Su
premo Oourt in his own ward, he went into other
districts, whonover an opportunity offered, and by
his spocohos, some of thorn exceedingly quaint
ones, by tbo way, and harangues, helped not a
littlo to increase that opposition to the tax vrblch
a few months sinoe manifested itself everywhere
. throughout the county. That so distinguished &
champion of tho cause would take tho back track,
and voto > for the vory levy which he had pledged
himsolf to resist, no one for a moment believed;
yot this thing hath the chivalrous Captain done.
Ho appeared in his Boat in tho Select Counoil last
night, and, in the prosenoe of thoso gentlemen
whom he so often and so roundly rated for their
anxiety to carry out tho order of the Supreme
Court, askod leave to ohango his vote on tho ordi
nauoo ordering a levy, from the negative to tbo
affirmative, or, to speak plainer, he desired to be
put on record os voting for tho taxi The ohaßge
was allowed to bo made, and Oaptain Ward stands
now on the reoord as good a pro-tax man a 9 the
most ardent abettor of the levy could desire.
Messrs. Thompson and Tomer pursued a'similar
oourso, and tho trio will now, doubtloss, be able to
answer the interrogatory to be propounded them
to-day, in n manner more satisfactory to the oourt
than if their votes had been permitted to stand as
first reoorded.

' Mexico, October 13(1800.
The heart sickens, and £ know not in wn&t lan

are daily being perpetrated by the Chnrah ftotion
in Mexico. The murders of Taoubaya, where 120
sick and wounded, inoluding'six medical men,
throe of whom were Americans, were deliberately
massacred in cold blood-; the tortures.applied by

and Mr. Mathew,iwho, *aa.you are aware, some
time since suspended all diplomatic relations with
1 the faotion at present ruling in the oity of Mexico,
has received orders to-demand his passports. The
reasons for this order, as detailed in the despatch,
are the constant imposition of forced loans, the
various outrages committed on Britbh'subjeots,
the utter .disregard of troaties and international
law, and the perpetration of horrors upon the per
sons of their own people, whioh render it impossi
ble for any nation, having a due regard to its own
character and dignity longer. to. hold diplomatic
intercourse with a party who have forfeited all
claim to be ranked amongst the civilised commu

,It is now that*the oharaoter of the Spanish Go

individual so lost to shame aa still to recognize and
support a faotion so debased by deeds of darkness
as to render even the residence of a British charge
d'affaires, among such company, a degradation
and dishonor to his country. It is pleasing tofind
that oveh amongst Spaniards there are BomVfew
honorable men who have dared to denounoe an aot
so injurious to the honor of thoir country—these
gentlemen, when, the Mon-Almonte treaty was
submitted to the Cortes for their approval, having
desoauted upon the loss of dignity necessarily bus-.
tained by Spain in accrediting an ambassador to
suoh a faction, and in endeavoring to smuggle
through a treaty based upon olaima which every
one.knows to be founded in perjury and.falsehood. l
That Miramon, General Almonte, and, for aught
weknow, Senor Pacheco himself, may be greatly
interested in thefate of this treaty, may be more
than probsblo;- bat.that foreign nations'will sab
mit to see the just claims of their citizens -post
poned to demands which, in their very inception,
are known to be a swindle, is not to be supposed.
October Id.—lt has just come to my knowledge
that a poor unfortunate woman, whose husband
had been taken as a soldier by the pressgang, was
seized whilst endeavoring to facilitate bis escape
from tho quartel in whiah be was confined, and was
ordered to receive three hundred lashes. Although
enceinte, these three hundred lashes were ad
ministered. She died-under the torturer giving
birth to a still-born child. The man received the
same number of lashes, but survived. A full ac
count of this will bo furnished in my next. I
simply give you the faots as they have been related

.Rumored Removal of - Howell Cobb
from ;the Cabinet*'
TFrom the'NSw Yoik'fiun, of yfjsterdaj.p " _
It reported from well-informed - sources in
Washington that -Mr. Buchanan is muoh dis
turbed in -mind "-by. the alleged treasonable
attitude of his Secretary s of the Treasury,
Mr. Cobb. Mr. Buchnnau, if the gossip among
his friends in thl3 oity may be-credited, de
clares that bo is opposed to disunion ; thaf he Will
do all in his power to preserve the 1 Confederacy,
and that it is his solemn wish to end his ; life in
peace, and close his eyes upon his. country. still
united-and 1 happy, very natural sentiments for
Mr. Buchanan, certainly. - Some of those to whom'
Mr. Buchanan has expressed these views and hopes,
have asked him “ Why be has allowed members
of his Cabinet and others holding office under him
to raise and sproad the disunion alarm?” His
reply is, that he does not wish to break up his
Cabinet so near the oloso of his term, but that M t,
Cobb, if for disunion, ought to retire.
There wore rumors afloat in the oity: yesterday
that Mr. Cobb’s resignation or removal had been
strongly urged, and that the President has the mat
ter undor consideration. It is' supposed that this
would l have a favorable influence on the eleotion.
It is not probable, however, that the President can
summon up courage enough to remove Mr. Cobb on
account of hi 3 disunionism. At any rate, he will
wait until after the election, and then he may turn
upon thoso who have so long had control of him.

the name of tho city to tho use of a contractor
ugainst a property owner who had refused to pay
the amount of tho assessment for a oalvart before
his promises, for purposes of drainage of the

culvert,was'‘worthless, &0., but the court would
not allow this, confining tho testimony entirely to
the question, as, to the value of the work,
whether 'it was Worth fho seventy-five cents per
foot charged by.tho contractor. But, at the same
time, tho judgo held that whilo property ownora
would bo required to pay the amount for culverts,
they could sue the city for damages arising out
of the defective construction of these culverts.
