OCCUPYING CLAIMANT LAWS.

we have received from Louisville pam.

Court OF the United States in petition for
reconsideration Of the case of Green vs. Bid
die, by John Rowan aud Henry Clay, Esqrs
II IS understood to be from the pen of MIR
Rowan. We have not had time to give il
that thorough examination which is necessary
to form decisive opinion Of IFS merits hut
on mere perusal il appears TO he an able ar
Sument. In Mr.. Rowan's letter TO the Co
vernon some facts are mentioned which deserve
notice. Three ont of Seven Judges cOnsttu
ting the Court declared our laws unconstiilI-
tional. Marshall refused to sit, johnson ex-
pressly dissented, Todd was prevented by i'll
health from leaving home, and Livingston was
sick. Thus three men, minority of the
Judges, have Frustrated system of Laws
which has been thought essential 10 their pros

vereign power left. The Court would not
hear the petition read. Judges Washington
and Duval agreed with great reluctance to
take and read ii in their Chambers but Sto-
ry would not even assent TO that. Nor would
they permit Messrs Rowan and Clay 10 have
copy of the Opinion, unless they wonld
pledge themselves not to publish it! In read
ing this account, we could not help thinking
ofthe Roman iyrant who posted his laws so
high, that no man could read them and then
punished his people for violating them. If
the Supreme court is to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever it is certainly but Just, that
they should publish their laws as soon as they
are enacted. five are obliged to submit, we
then shall know to what extent and to- hat
authority, end. at least have the satisfaction of
complaining.

FRUIT TREES.

Mr. WILsoN-Notwithstan the many re-
cipes published In newspapers and almanacs, yet it
is to be regretted that but very few in the COM
munty think it worth while to take the trouble to
try the experiments thus recommended by persons
who have taken pains and spent much time in test
ing the reality Of the experiments they recommend
for the benefit of the community at large For a
proof Of what have stated above would obsc rye,
that rec. pt was published in Crsmer's Magazine
Almanac, for 1915, recommending, from actual
experiment, the use OF Tobacco, to be applied by
wrapping from to leaves round each tree close
10 the root, where the worms or insects usually
work in the tender bark Of the trees
Some time in the present month, (Sept 1881 |

me that having noticed the above mentioned recipe
he accordingly made trial of the tobacco leaves on
ten twelve Of his peach trees, and the result was
that those trees from somewhat Of decayed state
in few weeks began 10 thrive and flourish.
This induced him to make further trial on all
the remaining trees around his orchard which
answered the desired end These trials were made
in August and September Of 8l5, and that he hsc
applied no more tobacco leaves to the roots of hi,
peach trees, until August or September Of 1919
and without any further assistance the trees hac

JAMAICA.

The Information that il is the intention Of the
British Minister to introduce some regulations, ten
ding to meoratc the condition Of the negroes in the
West India Islands, has caused considerable excite
ment al Jamaica. An advertisement had been is
sued signed by the Major, calling public meeting
for the purpose of taking lnts consideration the
present state Of the Island" This says the Vega
Gazette Of the 9th Sept. published at ST Jago, is
j" an example which we think ought to be generally
followed. II is not enough for the people Of this
colony to wait for the deberaton of their rep
resenatves at time when their destruction has
been threatened. When The officers OF the Crown
have broken thro' the mo solemn duty OF the
Crown to the people, the projection Of their proper.
ty and for which they ought to be impeached at such
a time the people are called upon to express their
opinion boldly it will tend to remove doubt and to
confirm resolution If we have nothing to expect
from the justice Of our country our only hope rests
in her fears for her interest in the dreadful
sponsbility to which Ministers will be exposed in
the event OF our ruin"
This is certainly very strong language, and doubt
less. will not be overlooked by the Ministers Of
his BIitanic Majesly.-.N L, T.. Post.
