MrIfSGIHlraANW,

Judge Joiinson's Op1aiOn.-The New York
Daily Advertiser contains the opinion of
Judge Johnson on motion for writ Of Ha-
beas Corpus in the case Of British seaman,
a coloured man, arrested at Charleston, IN
der tue section Of the act Of South Carolina
for the better regulation Of her negroes and
persons Of colour. This section provides that
If any vessel shall come into any part of the
state, from any other state or foreign port,
having on board any free negroes or persons
of colour, as cooks, stewards or mariners,
such negroes shall be liable to be seized and
confined in gaol until the departure Of the
vessel, aud the captain shall then be bound to
carry them away and pay the expenses of
their detention, under penalty of one thous-
and dollars fine and two months imprison-
ment, and in case Of neglect the free negroes,
or persons of colour shall be deemed and TAX
en- as slaves and sold. Henry Elzison, a
British subject, born in Jamaica, and shipped
in Liverpool as seaman on board the Brit
Ish ship Homer, had been arrested under the
act By the sheriff, on the prosecution Of a
society of gentlemen formed for the purpose
| Of carrying the law into effect 1t appears
from statements made by the Hon. Judge,
that in January last seizures were made un-
der the act both on board British and Amer
lean vessels-that applications were immedi-
ateIy made to the Judge for the interpositon
of the authority of the United States-that
on his interference the state authorities had
been induced to suspend proceedings, and
The British consul and northern captains to
suppress their complaints. A representation
was however made to Mr.. Canning, the Brit
ish Minister, and correspondence took place
between him and Mr.. Adams, the secretary
of State, and letter from the latter appeared
10 the case, in which he informs Mr.. Canning
that Immediately after the receipt Of his let

From me Boston DAILY 9iuevfiser-
"A Hydrostatic presshas recently been cree
ted in Gardiner, (Maine) for the purpose Of
pressing hay for market. Ii was constructed
by Mr.. Kendall; and the forcing pump, which
Is Of bell metal, was cast hy MIR. Wing, both
Of Gardiner. Mr. X. had 10 other inforna-
ton respecting the proper construction, but
what was obtained from Rees' CyclopRdia-
But his ingenuity has enabled him not only TO
construct so nice machine, but to improve
and greatly to simplify III. The operation and
advantages OF the press are thus described 10
the Halowell Gazette:
I" The size of the press when the hay Is first
put into II is q inches wide, by 40 inches and
IA feet high. In this the hay is first trodden
down by foot, as close as possible; the follow
er is then forced down feet inches by
powerful lever, moved BY double pully, and
is firmly secured; the piston is then raised BY
the forcing pump feet 2 inches, which re-
duces the capacity Of the box containing the
hay to about 90 cubic feet. The hay Is then
bound with iron bands, made Of nail rods and
is driven out Of the press by perpetual lever,
working with google joint, and moved bY
The water wheel. Wooden hoops OF the best
quality were tried at first for binding the hay,
instead Of nail rods; but they Instantly broke
Only few bundles have yet been pressed.
They have weighed from 6l3 to 854 lbs. ac-
cordIng to the kind or hay that was used. An
attempt was made to repress one bundle ia
order to get il more compact, but an soon AZ
the piston was lowered, Il burst the iron
bands, and proved that it was pressed sufi-
ciently for practical purposes. III pressed
more, II would require much stronger bands
the expence Of which would more than coun-
terbalance the advantage gained BY Tie great
er compactness of the hay. When the bum
dies are taken out Of the press they gradually
expand and stretch the bands, so that the next
day, they will measure from % to 26 cubic
feet, according to the drvness and elasticity
of the hay. From several experiments il is
found, that the white pine timber Of this
country, partly seasoned, weighs about 28 y
pounds TO the cubic foot. The heaviest bum
die Of bay when in the press weighed 42 IL
lbs. TO the cubic foot, or so per cent. heavier
than pine timber, and when expanded, "a
us. TO the cubic foot, or 20 per cent. heavier
than pine timber The safety valve has vet
been loaded 50 a. only % give purchase 0f
225 tons, which is not two thirds Of the power
Of the press. It's therefore apparent how
much closer they might be pressed, if it would
pay the additional expense.
The expense Of the press, including The
barn in which it is placed, has exceeded 5000
dollars. The iron, Of which great quantities
we're necessary to enable the press ID resist
the enormous pressure, forms the principal
item IN the expense"

fu, aad will prevent the recurrence or il IN
future" The prosecutions under the act
were discontinued until lately revived by the
society aforementioned.
After stating the case, and the history Of
the proceedings, The Judge proceeds to the
question of the constituiionalitiy Of the law.
lie considers it so obvious thatit will not Dear
argument. After presenting il with tie laws
and treaties of the United States for the reg
ulation Of commerce, he concludes this part
OF the case by declaring his decided opinion,
that the third section of the Stale act now
under consideration, is unconstitutional and
void, and that every arrest made under it sub
lects the parties making il to an action Of
tresPass." On the question Of the remedy,
however, he was of opinion that Congress had
not granted him the power of afordng re-
lief, by means Of the writ of Habeas Corpus,
the party being in custody under state au-
thority, and the Judiciary act expressly pro-
vidlng that writs Of Habeas Corpus shall in
no case extend to persons in gaol unless
where they are in custody under, or by col
our OF the authority Of the United States. III
the Counsel for the party should conclude 10

should have no right 70 refuse il, but lie ex-
pressed his doubts whether ii would avail a.
gainst the sheriff, though it went unquestion-
ably against Ais ve1dee.
1t appears that this case has produced
much excitement in Carolina, and Mr.
Holmes, one Of the counsel opposing the dis
charge Of the prisoner, contended that the
power claimed BY the law was one which the
state, ofnecessity, must exercise, and declar-
ed that if a dissolution of the union must be
NE alternative, he was ready to meet it.
COL Hunt also used similar language. He
argued that South Carolina was a sovereign
state when she adopted the constitutions
sovereign state cannot surrender a right Of
vital mportance-South Carolina therefore
either did not surrender this right or still
possesses the power TO resume it--and yheth-
er II Is necessary, or when it is necessary
to resume it, she IS herself tie sovereign

POPULATION.

Il appears from the late Census, that the
population of the United States increased 800 !.
per centum between 1910 and 1920. AT this
rate il will double il 25 years. The ratio VIZ
increase, however, seems TO be gradually dr.
minishing. Between 1890 aud 1900 it was
IS per centum, and between 1900 and 1910,
only "a /. Still there is every reason 70 be-
lieve, that the population viii continue 10 H.
crease with nearly the same rspidity as here
totore, for many years, perhaps for century
to come. The vast interior Of North-AmeTica
will accommodate, with ease, all the millions
which would be produced during that period
by such a rate of increase. The following
Statement will show the population Of the Uni
ted States for 100 years to come, supposing
the increase TO be in the same proportion Is
II was between 1910 and 1890:
In 1922 it was, ia round numbers 10000 600
In 1847 it will be 10000 600
In 1872 10000 600
In 1897 10000 600
Ia 1929 100000 600
If we deduct 10000 600 for losses by war
and other calamities, there viii still be left
100000 600 for the population Of the United
States, century hence. This number, scat
tered over a territory of 1000 600 square
miles would average so to each mile popu-
alton not SO dense as that of the southern half
|of New-England, or as the average III all
Europe.
This view ofour population should stimulate
All those who are engaged ia promoting the
moral and religious improvement of our coun-
trymen, to increased and unceasing effort.
Lett be remembered that this vast population
viii constitute one eighth or one tenth part Of
the whole human family that they will con-
sist Of the grand children or t-grand-child-
rem Of the generation now on the stage that
they will imbibe from rs moral and religious
principles; that their character win be mould
ed in our institutions, and receive ali the
impressions OF urvirtues and our vices.

WoMAN.-The good governmen or families
leads TO the comfort of communities and the
welfare Of states. Of every domestic circle
woman IS the centre. Home, that scene Of
purest and dearest joy, home is the empire Of
woman. There she plans, directs, performs,
the acknowledged source Of dignity and fe-
hcity. Where female virtue Is most pure, fe-
male sense most improved, female department
most correct there is most propriety Of social
manners. The early years Of childhood, those
most precious years Of life and opening reas.
on, are confined to woman's superintendance !;
she therefore may be presumed to Iav the
foundation of all the virtue, and all the wisdom
that enrich the world.--Literaly GAG
