FUGITIVE SLAVES.
From The Mem York American.

From the Nep York American.
The recent commotions in this city are very
naturally the subject of newspaper comment lar
and wide. while the discussion OF the various
motives of those engaged or connected with the
riots continually suggests the agitation OF a
question which, though OF vital consequence 10
our country, seems to be properly understood
by very few We mean the legal right OF the
southern STAKEHOLDER, as secured to him by the
constitution of the United States, to reclaim his
fugitive slave wherever he may find him through
out this Union.
On the subject of fugitive slaves, the const!tu-
ton of the United States provides Art. 4. sec
2.) that slaves escaping into another state than
that to which they belong, shall not De thereby
discharged from slavery, but shall be delivered
up on claim Of the owner.
The law Of Congress (passed Feb. II, 1889
made i'm pursuance of the constitutional provls-
ion. provides for the arrest of the slave by the
owner or his agent-that he may be taken be-
fore a magistrate, and upon proof to the salts
faction ofthe magistrate, that the person arrest
ed is fugitive slave the magistrate shall grant
a certificate authorizing the owner or agent TO
carry the slave back to the place from whence
he fled.
The Revised Statutes Of this state, however,
direct Vol. g. 57O-1.) that when fugitive Is
so arrested, he may issue his writ OF Homlne
Replegiando Ca process which for very many
wears has been obsolete, having peen suppressed
ed by the writ of Habeas Corpus, the effect OF
which is to withdraw the case from the cognl-
zance of the magistrate, and to suspend all pro-
ceedings by him, until the masters title has been
ascertained by a regular trial by jury, in
court of common law-thus substituting dlla-
tory and expensive proceeding for the summa-
ry measures contemplated by the act OF con-
gress.
In the case of John Lockley, alias Joe Branch
and others, claimed as fugitive slaves by Rufus
Haywood, of North Carolina, this writ of Hon.
Rep. was taken out on behalf of the slaves and
the counsel for the claimant, Thos. l.. Wells
and B. d. Silliman. moved the Superior Court
at the April term, to quash thewrit, on the ground
| that it was in violation Of the constitution OF
the United States and of the law of congress,
and consequently void. The motion was op-
posed by r. Sedgwick for the slaves.
The court were unanimously Of opinion that
the objections to the writ and to the statute I'M
der which it was issued, we're welltaken, but sus-
pended any final order on the motion at that
time. to the end that their decision might be re-
viewed by the Supreme Court. The question
was, therefore, argued last June before the Su-
preme Court, who took the same view OF the
subject with the judges of the Superior Court
though it is understood that the counsel for the
slaves will endeavor to bring the matter before
the Court of Errors for final determination.

DR.. John F. Declary, respectable physician
of Louisville, Kentucky, recently commltted
suicide in the following scientific manner. Edr-
ly on the morning of the 4th inst, he took the
lancet which he usually carried about his per-
son, and opened the carotid artery on each side
of his neck The missions were small-that on
the right side not larger than the puncture in
an ordinary case of blood letting The act was
evidently committed with singular composure.
A gentleman who was sleeping in the apart
ment with him, had been conversing with the
Doctor a few minutes before, and was awoke
by the gushing Of the blood. NO groan or eX-
clamation escaped the dying man. he quietly
composed himself upon his bed with gentie
smile upon his coun-enance as If he were lying
down to pleasant dream. That smile remain,
NAMED upon his lips after they were closed
forever.
The spirit Of improvement is every where ex-
tending ITSELF and we have seen in no instance
a more important indication OF its progress nan
in the proposed establishment OF land car
rage across the isthmus of Panama, by means
of railway; thus furnishing ready com
munication between the Atlantic and Paclhc
Oceans. The distance between Porto Bello
and Panama is only fourteen leagues, and the
expense Of putting the plan into active opera
ton will not exceed, it is supposed, hall mil,
lion of dollars. The project of railway VIII
supersede, we suppose, the making of canal,
which, it will be recollected, was some years
since talked Of to be located somewhere in that
neighborhood, one objection to which, was
founded on the great difference in the altitude
of the two great oceans.-U. s. Gag.
A curious incident, illustrative of the charac-
ter of BIRDS occurred last week at Quebec
The barn of Mr.. Stewart was stricken by llgnt-
ming, and was consumed. There were at the
time two breeding pigeons belonging to the
barn, which were outside, at the time OF the
striking The persons who arrived alarmed
them, and they flew away; but in short time,
and when the flames surrounded the pigeon
house. they both came dashing on, full wing, to
their nests through the flames, and soon fell VIC
tins to their temerity.

WILLIAM CoBBETT.

Goblet as member of Parliament, illustrates
most admirably the qualities and character OF
demagogue, with the words liberty" "peo
pies rights" &c. always on his lips, yet, when
brought to the test, as in the proposition, on
which he delivered the annexed remarks in the
House of Commons for National System oil
Education for the Poor, he is found decrylng
the claim of the people to be educated, and de-
string to hold them down in the state of igno-
rance and servitude from which happier for
tune, and, it must be admitted, superior talents
have raised him.
HOUSE OF Commons 81 JuNE.
Mr.. RoEBucK having developed his PROPOSE
ton respecting National System Of Educa-
ton
Mr.. CoBpETr expressed himself satisfied that
the scheme suggested by the hon. and learned
member for Bath would not be productive OF
any good, and this he thought he could show
the House. On the subject Of education in this
country it was not philosophy or reasoning that
could guide, but recourse ought rather to be
had to experience Everybody knew that with
in the last thirty-five years Lancasteran and
other schools had been founded, and education
had increased twentyfold; but experience show
ed that the morals of the people had not mend
ed with the increase of education. It had even
been admitted that night that drunkenness had
increased wonderfully within latter years, so
that education did not even prevent drunken
ness (' Hear" and "laugh.") He repeate d
that all this increase of education had not been
productive Of any good, and he ventured to
say that there was not single country gentle,
man who would not say that the fathers Of the
last generation made better labOrers, better SER
wants, and better men than their sons OF the
present generation. This proved that the la
boring classes were much better without thai
intellectual enjoyment, which the hon. and
learned member for Bath was anxious to i'll
crease TO them, than they were with it,

Are the Planets of our System inhdbited?-
The analoges which display a family likeness
throughout all the system Of the universe, will,
perhaps. be more easily comprehended, if we
advert fol- moment to the other planets OF our
system which are more Immediately within the
sphere of our observation. Mercury and Venus
both have dtmoSphereS much loaded with clouds,
which are manifeStly a provision serving to mi
tgate the intense heat and glare Of the sun. We
shall see the intimate conneXion which suoslsts,
not only between the vegetation OF our earth,
but also the subsistence of animal lfe the trans
mission of sound and light, nay, all the arts
which tend to civiliZe society, and the existence
of the atmosphere which we possess. Where
yer atmosphere is found circulating round a
sphere, and supporting upon it clouds and va
pour, we may infer that upon such spheres there
are water and dry land, vegetation, animal life,
and intelligent beings. This inference becomes
the more evitable, when we find that, accord
ing to the best observations, both these planets
have their day and night of nearly the same
length as ours In Mars, the outlines of CONT
nents and seas have been discovered with dis
tinctness it has also its atmosphere and cloud,
and brilliant white spots at its poles, which are
supposed, with great deal probability, to be
snow The general fiery aspect of its appear
ance is conjectured to arise from the ochery
tinge in the soil, not unlike our red sandstone
districts Its day and night differs from ours by
little more than half an hour. These are all
analogies to the earth, which render the idea OF
those three planets being mere blanks in the So
lar system, altogether inconsistent with what we
actually know of the fecundity which teens
with life, wherever air, water heat and light are
combined.-QuarterlyR erielc.

The Mystery erplained-There has been
much conjecture respecting the manner by
which the memorable Figure Head was de-
capitated. We were inclined to think that the
statements in the N. Y. Mercantile and Gazette
were nearly Correct-but late number of the
Downing Gazette gives very full and satisfac-
tory explanation of the whole affair. 1t seems
that Jack Downing was the innocent cause OF
this much to- .lamented disaster The follow
ing is his story:
81 got into Boston that dayaforeIthis deadful
thing happened to the figger head, and had
to be in Portland the next day TO get out the
first number OF my paper. And so was kind
of worryn round to find the vessels and the
steamboats, and the stages to see which way |
could 90 the quickest, and went all round the
wharves, and just at night went over the bridge
TO Charleston, and went down into the Navy
Yard looking round to see if could find any
vessel going down to Portland. At last see
some thunderin great vessels by the wharf, and
thought Pd 60 and hail 'em and see if they
couldn't carry me.
So when got along pretty near 'em, look
ed up to the middle one, and, declare cum
pretty near jumping right out of my skin, for
there was my old friend the Gineral standing
right up on the forward end ont. You see ne
yer thought any thing about the hgger head,
but thought it was the real old Gineral that I
left at Washington, and how he could get there
afore | did couldn't guess called out to him,
and says 1, Gineral is that you; how are we;
how in mater did you come there? thought he
seemed to color little, buthe didn't answer me.
At last as stood looking at him his head kind
ofseemed to begin to move up and down, and
he looked as if he was trying with all his might
to make bow to me. And Pm pretty apt to
think that he gin his neck SIGH renching, that
it worked loose a little, and during the storm
that night it's a wonder to me if the wind didn't
blow his head off, So according to my way of
thinking, it isn't likely any body was TO blame
