COURTS MARTIAL.

The recent Courts Martial in Baltimore have
engrossed more of public attention than such
trials have been heretofore accustomed to re-
ceve, owing no doubt to the deep interest that
has recently been excited in every portion of the
country for the reorganization and increase of
that branch of the service, in view of the threat
ening aspect Of war from more than one coun-
try. The faithful reports of their proceedings,
which have been published in the Baltimore Sun,
have been sought after with the utmost avidity,
and public expectation is now on tiptoe, anxious
to hear the judgment of the court in those cases
which have been concluded. The ability and
,romptness in the despatch of business of the
present head of the Navy Department, are so
well known to the public, that the utmost conf
dence is entertained that the results of the trials
will be speedily promulged, and relieve the par
ties and their friends from the painful anxiety
which the delay in such cases, under previous
administrations, so unnecessarily inflicted.

ENGLISH CORN WIS.

The following observations on the English
Corn laws, and their effect on the commerce of
the United States, are from the pen of a we'll
informed gentleman in London:
"The Corn debates completely occupy public at
tcntion, to the exclusion Of every thing else
Whether we have sliding scale fixed duty, it APP
pears to me America stands but poor chance to
furnish direct supplies, for any arrangement that is
open and equal to all would inevitably bring the corn
from those countries that could sell cheapest and that
are nearest. This country, it is very well known, in
years of abundance, produces one third more than
the people consume, -four years ago we purchased
fine English wheat at 35s. per quarter) In case OF
short crop, so that prices rise, the depots at Ros-
took, Danzic, Magdeburg, &c., would first be drawn
over at prices far below the ordinary price in the
United States and the Black Sea would supply any
ouantty if owners could be sure Of obtaining 2Os. to
22s per quarter at Odessa. There is no saying how
cheap wheat would be supplied if there steady
demand but am convinced that it would be cheap
or in European countries than in the United States,
for many years to come. But the demand will only
be occasional therefore, except in very serious de-
fcency in the crop, the United States can hardly
pect to share in the direct supply But the supply
rou sh Canada increasing, and will increase every
year, for by the old Tariff it paid only S. per quar-
ter but the law required certificate of origin for
wheat which is not necessary for flour; therefore,
-four will increase as fast as they erect mills
in Canada to make it for while direct importation
of wheat to Great Britain would pay los. duty the
price per average being 58s, American -four from
Canada would only pay at the rate of 6s., viz: 3s
entering Canada and Is. on Importation here per
quarter of wheat The highest duty that -four from
American wheat coming into this country would pay,
under the proposed law, would be $751; say eight sh-
lings per quarters to Canada and IS. to Great
Brtain-the lowest would be As the medium would
most generally prevail 6s This will be steady
business when all the Continent is excluded and will
do much good to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and west
ern New York, and to the other wheatgrowine
States also, by abstracting so much from the home

enable and Necessary burdens, but they feel and
fear loss of business, loss of employment, and
loss of bread. 1t does not appear to them that
the greatest possible good, Isl to starve untaxed
Attached to just economy, they still know that
in the political Dispensatory, there is no head
under which quackery more often turks, than
that of retrenchment and reform. They wish
for revival of trade, manufactures, and gene
raj business. They wish TO hear again the axe
in the ship yards, the saws and hammers IN the
shops, the hum of busy men in the cities, and
the joyous outbreak of happy and well re-
warded agricultural labor Give them these
things, and they will cheerfully support Gov.
eminent; withhold these things and long
speeches, about retrenchment and reform, are
but applications of dust aud ashes to parched
threats and swollen tongues.

Considering The decision moi only important in ITSELF
but fully bearing us out in recommending appeal 10

briefly TO state the case above referred TO under

AT the Court of Oyer and Termincr for York
county PENNSYLVANIA April term, 1879, Edward Prlgg
with others was indicted under a statute al Pennsy
yania of The year 1896, for experimenting and carrying
10 the State Of Maryland negro woman, claimed as
slave with The intention 10 hold or to sell said person as
slave for life, which, by that statute made felony,
punishable by fine Of not less than live hundred nor
more than thousand dollars and moreover by lmpri-
sonment at hard labor for not less than seven nor more
than twenty.onc years. The statute abounds in
penal enactmenis for correlave offences.
Upon this indictment Prgg was tried, and special
verdict returned by the jury, finding the facts that the
person apprehended had into Pennsylvania some
time in ls59-that at that timr and long before she
had been slave for life under the laws Of Maryland 10

Judgment OF the Court below there affirmed
An appeal 10 The Supreme Court Of the u $. was
taken BY Jonathan Meredith and John Nelson, Eslrs
Commissioners and Councillors Of the State Of Mary

The judgment Of the Supreme Court of the u S.
is, that the act of the Common wealth of Pennsylva
