VOL. IX.--NO. 99.THE DAILY DISPATCH.

Wed?day M«r«Hw, April 36, 1886.AHad Cum ofSlarmNlni,,Tb» Worcestershire (EngUah) Chronicle con-

tain* the particular* of a aad ea*e, to which amother and her children endeavored to eacapefrom bom* and follow the Mormon* to the UnitedState*, bat were pnrnued aadbrought back. It ap-pears that the ftigttive* bad joton board the tm-»*i when thia scene occured:

F-.r an hoar and a half did the officers and thecaptain and the Mormon loader* wrangle, the tm-sal all this time going farther and farther ont toa*a, and it waa only by thejineuttand firmness ofdeclared that rather than fail in hi*mission be woold accompany the vessel to Bostonand denounce the whole party to the British antboritie* there, that the Mormon slave-driver* con-sented to produce the woman, and let her have aninterview with her bnsband.

The upshot of themattter was that the wife andand youngest child were first ofall handed into thetug, and when the husband still knelt on the bul-warks, tbe very picture of parental distress, pray-ing that yet more ot bis offspring mightbe restor-ed to him, even the emigrants themselves began tomurmur,and say that it waa a shame to part afather and his children. TheMormon elder* there-upon peremptorily ordered their insubordinatevictims to go below ; but the captal n, findingnowthat he could do so safely, ordered the other twochildren, girls,about seven year* of age, to behanded to their delightedparent, and th* tug thencast herself loose to return to Liverpool

The two oldest daughters, aged sixteen andeighteen tbe latter a very fine yonng woman, ob-stinatelyrefused to go back, and we shudder tothink of the fate that is In store for them. The er-rand of tbe Great Conqutst had got wind In Liver-pooland numbers of people were anxiously wait-ing her return upon the quays to learn the upshotof the chase. Mr. Hodgetts once more is safelyboused at home with bis wife, but we understandthat she still positively declares tbat she will go iothe Salt Lake some time or other. She has broughtback with her a great part of tbe money xhe took,but not the whole. To show the state of agitationin which the poor man was thrown, we may statefrom the time when he discovered his loss to themoment when he first caught sight of the vesselbearing away bis treasures, he refused to taste amorsel of food, and he repeatedly told Mr. Chippthat if he did not recover his wife and bairns heshould throw himself Into the sea. Tbe tact, firm-ness and promptitude of Superintendent Chippthroughout the whole affair cannot be too highlyspoken of.It appears that Mrs. Hodgetts took her depar-ture while her husband was absent, and not onlyinduced all her children to accompany her, buthad provided herself with all tbe money belong-ing to her husband, that she could lay her handsupon. The infatuation of Mormonlsm is indeedextraordinary.

Registration of Letters between theUnited States and Great Britain.?We areauthorized to state that in arrangement has justbeen concluded between Mr. Campbell, Post-master General, and the British Postmaster Gene-ral, the Duke of Argvle, providingfer the registra-tion of valuable letters toand from Great BritainThe registration fee on letters for Great Britainwill be five cents, the same on domestic letters,thus making the rate on a single letter, when re-gistered, twenty-ninecents. The English regis-tration fee u twelve cents. On all registered let-ters in each country, pre-payment is required.?The arrangement goes into opeiationon the firstof May.?Nat. Intel.

An Ancient Land Patent.?We have beenshown aland patent, drawn up in the year 1714, inthe reign of Queen Anne, and at the time of thegovernorship of Alexander Spottswood over Vir-ginia. The patent settles npon one Stephen Chas-teane, the sole right and proprietorship ot a cer-tain two hundred andfifty acres of land, situated inthe good county of Henrico, and for which thesaid Stephen Chasteane paid the enormous sumof thirty shillingorabout six dollars.

[Petersburg Express.

"Crushed Out" by Free Soil.?The dwellinghouse of Charles Ferry, in Brattleboro', Vt., wancrushed last week by the fall of a large cake offrozen earth, estimated to weigh six tons, whichrolled down a steep embankment back of thebuild*ing. No onewas seriously injured.

Mammoth CourLE.?There have arrived in St.Louis two extraordinary children in the personsof Preston Huddlestonr, aged 15, and his sister Ju-liana aged 10years?the one weighing four hun-dred pounds and the other over three hundred.?They are from Goodman county, 111., and are notabove the usual height.

Forced TO Leave ?TheLeesburg Wasbingto-nian, speaking of the departure of Francis 11. Rayfrom that county, says : "It was not a voluntaryact upon his part; ajjdit is due to the citizens ofthe (Goose Creek)neighborhoodto state, that theyrequired Mr. Ray to leave, as they were determin-ed not to retain in their midst an individual whoseAbolition discussions were obnoxious to the pub-lic, and of mischevious tendency.'

A[Medal Presented.?A silver medal has beenreceived from the Emporor Napoleon's Palace ofIndustry at Paris, as an award to General Steuart,late Engineer-in-ChiefU. S. Navy, for his contri-bution of a model of the Dry Dock at New York.

Acquittal.?The trial of Spencer Slwyer, forthe murder of Mr. William Charles, in Pasquotankcounty, N. C., about a year ago, came on at thelast term of the Superior Court of that eounty,Judge Manly presiding, and resulted in the ac-qittal ot the prisoner.

Emigrants for Kansas.?The St. Louis Demo-ocrat of the 23d instant says :

"Within tne presentmouth from one thousandto twelve hundred emigrantsfor Kansas have arriv-ed in our city. The great majority of these havebeen from the South. Day before yesterday thesteamer Oceana brought half ot the company ofAlabamians, under the conduct of Col. Buford;and yesterday the residue arrived in th e America.They will leave for their destination on the Key-atone this morning."

Case Decided.?At the recent session of theCourt of Appeals of Virginia, the long contestedcase ef Moses Hempburnagainst the heirs of Ag-nes Dnndas, for certain valuable property, inAlexandria, on King street, was decided in favorof Hempburn, the Court awarded him theproper-ty, and eighteen hundred and thirty dollars dam-ages and interest from the 10th of August 1838,until paid.

Railroad Telegraph.?The Michigan Cen-tral Railroad are now engaged fa. erecting sub-stantial telegraph connexion between Detroit andChicago. The coat of maintainingthis line will beabout \u26662,000 per month, which of coarse they in-tend to fare, in freedom from accidcnt, delays, &c.Every train will carry an instrument, which canbe connected with the line at a moment's notice,by which the situation and direction of every trackupon the whole road can be known at once. ThisImprovementwill be equal to a double track forconvenience, safety anil dispatch^?Dttroit Adrtr.

Thegrowingcrop all over Prance present themost cheering appearance. The doficienry in theprodnce of last year?officially oitimated at 7,000,-000 hectolitre!??has been In a great measure madeup by foreign Importation.

DEtF.OATKS ?The Hon. Senator Bayard and theHon. George Reed Riddle have been elected dele-gates to the Democrat National Convention fromShe New Castle district, Delaware. They wereiwtrncted to vote for Mr. Buchanan, so long a*

they may think it proper to do so.

A Bioodt Year ?There were seventy-threebattles fought daring the year 1893, wttiM aver-age losa of ft thousand meo in each;mono soldiers ire estimated to bsve perished bydisease and battles, the battles average more thanonea week. Iti* one of tho bloodiest yean Inmodern history.

iNTKRKATIJtO FROM SOUTH AMERICA.?A let-ter ill th* New York Herald (totes that oa th* Istof March, cholera waa very rif* at Pernamboco,and one hundred person* died dally from ita at-tack*, Of the African* wised lately on board th*Bo*ton brig Mary Smith, off Bahia, by order ofthe Brazilian government, sixty died of hnagerand thlrat before reachingBahia, aadoaa hnndrodand forty-one have ainee part*bed. At Callao, oathe 12th of March, It waa reported that tbe BritishAdmiral badreceived order* to aelsa tbe ChinebaIslands, and hold them aa security for the pay-ment of the debt due to Great Britaia by Peru ?

Many doubted the tenth of th* nuaors. Distin-guished Peruvian* advocated a union of the SoothAmerican Republic*with the United States. TheUnited Btote**bip Bt. Mary' 4 waa greatly admired,and had been viaited by the Preaidenta and head*of departments. Castilla- bad issued a decree,which will go Intoeffect on the fith of May, for tbesuppression of the Coolieand slave trad*. Therewas some yellowfever at Callao.

Irish Affairs.?A letter from Ireland speaksencouraginglyof the prosperity of tbe farmer* andthe decrease of crime. Thecounty of TipperaryAssizes, which heretofore lasted tor three weeks,thisspring occupied but a few hoars, in the trialof petty offences It it rumored that in conse-quence of peace 40,000 of the Irish militia will bedisbanded. Tbe Irish who have been receivinghigh prices for their crops during tbe war, are saidto be by no means rejoicing at peace. Concilia-tion Hall, in Dublin, where O'Coonellao often heldforth, it now an extenaive floor store, and theformer head-quarters of YoungIreland, in LowerAbbey street, is now used as a place of exhibitionof a diorama of tbe war.

Not a Defaulter?David C. Labatt, Esq.,lateAssistant Attorney for New Orleans, againstwhoma suit has been entered to recover some$205,000 of tbe city's funds, alleged to be nnaccounted for by bim, denies that be is in default?The amount claimed, be say*, consists of bills insuit and uncollected, all of whichhe turned over tohis successor.

The Season at Newport.?Preparations arealreadymaking at Newport, R. 1., for the summerseason. The Daily News of that place containsa list of thirty-eight persons from different sectionsot the country who have leased houses for tbesummer. Dr. Mercer and Wm. F. Mason, of NewOrleans; Lieut Hunt United Stales Army; J.J.Pringle and Thomas Higtram of South Carolina,and Mr. De Osma, the Pernviaa Minister at Wash-ington.

The "Confiscation" in Connecticut.?Theconfiscation of Catholic Church property in Con-necticut amounts to no "confiscation" at all, as welearn from the Hartford Conraat. By the lawof Conneeticnt, which vests property in the StateIn case ofthe death of the Bishop, it is made in-cumbent upon the State Treasurer to convey theproperty to thesociety or congregation who haveoccupied it,immediatelyupon their becoming incor-porated. It appears therefore that the Statemerely fills the gap temporarily and that the con-gregations who built the churches and paid forthem will soon get the nse of them. *

The Departure of theMerrimac.?The US. steam frigate Merrimac, which has been lyingoff Annapolis for some days, will sail about theclose of the present week. It is said that tbe Secre-tary of the Navy, Hon. J. C. Dobbin, will take pas-sage in her for Havana, where he goes for the'ben-efit of his health, which has been impaired forsome time.

Equestrian Statue of Washington.?AFlorence correspondentof the Providence Journalsays:

"I have been conversing with a young Englisharchitect who has recently returned from Munich,where, at the Royal Foundry, he saw the eques-trian statue of Washington for the Richmondmonument,which has been successfully cast. Itis in severalpieces, and is to be put together at.the foundry, then inclosed in a boxof timber, 25feet high, 27 feet long, and of proportionate width,and this placed upon a raft and floated down theDanube to the Black Sea. There a vessel will beprepared, by the removal of the decks, to receiveit and conveyit to America. This box, or ratherstructure, will be in size about equal to one of ourtwo-story wooden houses.

Desperation.?A correspondent of the NewOrleans Delta, writing from Matamoras, uyi:

?'Governor Vidaurri's forces bare punishedmostseverely the Lipan Indians who tome days agocommitted some depredations on the Texas side ofthe river, and the whole tribe has been nearlydestroyed. In bringing them to Monterey, thesquaws killed their young ones, and the Indianshaving attemptod to escape, were nearly all killed.One Indian alone' stood his ground against 175men, nutii the daring fellow was shot all to pieces.

The Wheat Crop.?A friend from the conn-try, whose information upon the subjectis reliable,informs usthat the young wheat, in Greenbrierconnty, as a general thing, looks much better thanusual at this season of the year, and thinks theprospects, at this time, for a good crop, are flatter-ing. He is of the opinion that the heavy snow,which fell during the month of January has produced a good effect?an opinion, too, entertainedby many others with whom we have recently con-versed.

Collision and Loss.?A most unfortunate ac-cident took place on the Potomac, inthe neighbor-hood ofBudd's Ferry last Saturday. The vesselsof Capt John Grey, and Henry Southard, cameIn collision with such force, as to aink the vesselof the latter In deep water. It it feared that thevessel and its cargo (30,000 fish,) may prove a to-tal loss.

Acquitted.?Browning, Smoote, and Tharp, whowere arrested and imprisoned two years ago, onthe charge of robbing and murdering a stranger,in Henrico county,andwhose trial has been pendingever sincc in theCircuit Court of that county, hasat length been discharged by JudgeClopton.?Thestranger alluded to, it will be remembered,robbed a gentleman on the packet boat, and wasmaking his escape through ihe country, wherethese men arrested him. He was seen in theircustody, on the day of the robbery, and they ac-knowledgedhe gave them some money, but, fromthat time to the present, he has never been heardo'? Conjecture wasrife at the time that he bad beenkilled and thrown into a deep coal pit, but we havealways thought it more than probable that he paidbis eaptors to let himgo, and then cut sticks forparts unknown.

Firemen's Trent?No. 7 Fire Company wereserved with a fine dinner last Monday, by Mr.Wm. N. Tinsley, at his bake house, and, after along parade, attended the theatre at night bytheinvitationof Miss L.

Thecompany made a grand " turn out," and all themembers conducted themselves with marked pro-priety.

Kidnapper Identified.?Mr. John A. McGHI,of Mis-sissippi, arrived in this cityyesterday, and on visit-ing the jail,identified his servant Warner and awhite man called George Hamilton, who werethere confined?the white man for kidnapping,and the negro for safe keeping. Hamilton, at tbetime heran the negro off from Mississippi, was inthe employ of Mr. McGill, and no doubt inducedthe slave to rob his master and ran off with him,under tbe promise of setting him free. Thecasewill come before the Mayor as soon as he returns,and Hamilton will probably be sent back to Mis-sissippi to answer for the crime with which he ischarged.

The CTN«NN.*Ti Slave Case.?Our readershave been informed of a recent instance of con-flict of authority, at Cincinnati, between the court*of the State of Ohio and of the United States, inthe case of H. H. Robinson, Esq, the UnitedStates Marshal, who was arraigned before theProbate Court of Hamilton county, and commit-ted for contempt of court in delivering the slavesin the Gaines case to the owner, instead of obey-ing the order of Judge Burgoyne, to brinf thembefore the Probate Court upon a writ of habeascorpus. The marshal applied to the UnitedStates Court to be liberated; tbat court has, aftera bearing, discharged him from custody on theground tbat he was acting under the authorityof the United States. JudgeLeavett. in review-ing the argument that the Fugitive Slave law-rras unconstitutional, said the act referred to wasboth valid and constitutional, and as such mast berespected and enforced. No Judge or other of-ficer in the State and national government, orany citizen of either, so Car as the rights of othersare concerned, has a right toact on bis private awlindividual viewsof the policy snd validityof lawspassed in conformity with the forms of the consti-tution. Until repealed or set aside by the adjudi-cation of theproper tribunal they must have theforce of laws, and be obeyed as such .Anyotherprincial must lead the anarchy in its worst form,and result invitbly in the speedy overthrow ofour institution.
