SLAVERY IN KESTTcKY.-A hIr. Need
ham of L'sville, Ky. attended the recent Anti
Slavery gathering at Cincinnati, and in an
aldrcss stated facts which 60 far TO show that
Slavery is becoming unpopular with the more
inteIligentportion ofthe People of Kentucky.
He proceeded:
alt is said that Slavery is represented to be
worse than it really is.
Sir, in 1874, a Methodist preacher, with
regular license and certificate, was placed in
the Louisville Jail as a slave on sale. He
preached in the Jail sermons which would have
lone creditto any white preacher of the town
He kept a little memorandum in his pocket
inverted under bis preaching. l represented
his case 10 leading Methodists in Louisville,
and show ed them a copy of his papers which
| had taken. Not one riSited him in his priS-
on
.'He said he forgave those who hadimpris-
oned him ard were about to sell him. He
was sold down the river, which was the last
saw of him.
"There is another incident illustrating the
character of our slavery, which | will men,
ton, which also occurred in Louisville, in
1874. the sexton wentto open a grave
yard for funeral one morning, he found a slave
mother digging a grave there for her little in
fant which lay by her side shrOudkss and coffin
less, absolutely a naked corpse uponthe ground
The mistress of that mother had sent hel
thus to bury her child, refusing to buy
grave clothes OF a coffin! Sir, this is Slavery
in Kentuckyi'
The Louisville Journal remarks that these
are not usual but unusual cases, and MIR
Needham in a note admits that they are SO.
Yet 1t is not disputed on any hand that they
are cases strictly accordent with the genius o
Slavery and sanctioned by lis laws.
Kentucky, like Virginia, begins to be deep
ly agitated bya popular movement for a Con-
stitutional Reform. These demands cannot
long be resisted; whenever a Convention
does assemble in either State, the monste, SIa-
very will be compelled to look daylight in
the face.

N. Y. COLLECTOR.


The resignation or removal of Mr.. Van
Ness from the Collectors office at n. York,
has been a fruitful topic of conversation for
isome days in ceatain quarters, and we have
lheard very contradictory statements made as
to real character of this transaction.-Ihe
following article seems 10 throw some light on
the subject; &jas it has been some days before
the public without Contradiction, we are al
liberty to presume that it is essentially orrect.
New YORK CoLLEcToR.-Exfract o flettel
dated Washington, June 10.
Ii has been represented that Gov Van Ness
resigned his Office as Collector, and parted
from it in harmony with the administration
How far this may be true, will judge from the
folding facts.
Governor Van Ness was assured by MI.
Polk that he would not be removed unless
for cause, nor unless charges should be pre-
ferred aginst him, which, after due notice to
him and after hearing, should be substantial
ted.
The Collector learning, however, that Mr..
Polk was embarrassed and bored by those
W no wished to GUST him, wrote a prlrate let
ter TO Mr. Sec'y Walker, saying he wa ready 10
resign whenever it should be found neces-
sary for the convenience of the President.
Subsequently. the Secretary informed the
Collector that his offer had been considered by
the President and WAS accepted, and that the
President would expectto receive the resig-
nation. The Collector semitic resignation TO
bis brother, Gen. Van Ness, of this city, with
directions TO present it or not, as he might
deem proper. The General would not pre-
sent il, and il was soon cOuntermanded by the
Collector himself. Mr.. Walker, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, learning that the letter
of resignation had been sent, applied TO Gen.
VanNess for it. aud insisted upon its being off
cred. He claimed it on the ground Of the
tender made by the Collector in his private
letter to him upon which ground the President
had acted.
The General maintained, on the other
hind. that the tender was unofficial and not
biniing. and that the letter of resignati on had
been withdrawn.
At this stage Of the business, Il friend Of
the Collectors, left this city for New York
aud Immediately returned with the r%esigna-
ton. The Collector, upon consultation with
his friends, was advised 10 resign, after what
had taken Place.
General Van Ness had an interview with
tbs President and demonstrated strongly
against the treatment cf his brother. He sub
sequently adore seed a letter, with copies TO
each head of Department, to the President,
on the subject, which is said 10 be very Sc
yere.

well relished by the Democrats. Mir. Law

LATER FROM MEXICO. Santa Anna Lib
Grated. The Mexican steamer Neptune ar
rived at Charleston, via Havana, brings intel
ligence that Santa Auna arrived at Havana,
in the British nail steamer from Vera Cruz,
on the 7lh, on his way to Venzuela, having
been banished b, the Mexican Government.
His lady & family werewith him. The time
OF his punishment are not stated. The cap
tain OF the Neptune, howevea. understood
that the decree prescribed an absence of ten
years only that Santa Ana's private property
was respected; and that he had with him a
large amount Of money.and was in good health
and spirits. Gen. Bustamente, former Pres
iien; of Mexico also arrived at Havana about
the same time, on his way TO Mexico.
The news from Mexico is, that the war fc-
yer had cooled down, and that all anticipation
of Il rupture between Mexico and the United
States subsidized: 1t may be regarded as a
confirmation on this, that the Neptune was 10

THE WOOL. TRADE.

HAMILToS, Butler CO., Ghio.-The de-
mand for wool increases daily, and the first
time since we have lived in Butler, our mer-
chants have engaged in the purchase of wool
in large quantities.
AKRON, Summit co.-There is still an ac-
tive demand for wool. We quote prime 35
cts; full-5lood SO cts; three-fourths blood %
cts; half-blood pc cts: one-fourth do % cts
common Is TO 20 cts.
LONDON, Madison cO.-Purchasers pay
from 20 to 25 and % per lb., according to
quality.
CHICAGO, June 14.-The free arrival OF
wool at this point relieves in a measure the
stagnation ofhusiness occasioned by the scan
ty supply of produce coming forward. The
past weeks receipts amount TO upwards of
$4,000 lbs. OF this, about $500 lbs have
been purchased here aud the balance has Ell
iher been placed in store or gone foI ward on
owners account. The quality, on an av-
erage is middling.
Prices remain firm, and judging from cas-
tern quotations there is no margin left for
shipping profits. so cts may be considered
the top OF the market, though a few extra
fine lots have been taken at 81 Ia. from
which it ranges down to 20 cts.
JACKSON, Mich, June I4-Tbere has been
but little lone during the past week in wool.
The receipts have been about 1000 lbs.
which have been taken at prices ranging from
% to 35 cts. There is probably in the hands
OF the merchants here 10, 700 lbs, which they
are last preparing for market. The principal
net OF The clips is in-some holding large
'ots back IN expectation of a rise.

THE RE-SURVEY.

The formidable objection urged by S. NJ.
FELTON, against our route, the numerous high
grades, will be swept away by The survey OF
Mr.. Gilbert. This is, indeed, so far, all we
nothing worse than 5, 10 or Is feet to the
mile is TO be encountered, except at Souther-
/ lands Falls where the worst is two grades of
40 feet in two miles and a half. From Mid
dlebury to Vergennes the gradients are from
10 TO 10 feet only to the mile, except perhaps,
one of about 30, by the new survey. The
distance, il is said, will be eventually reduced
l 1-2 miles. From Versennes to Burlington
the grades will turn out to be so Inconsistent
be that the road might well be reported as a
level. And yet the old survey makes out a
grade of 20 feet between these places and
about IA miles of between so and 60 feet
grade between Middlebury and Rutland. The
Mount HolIey gap will be re-surveyed and
the grades probably be reduced 20 feet to the
mile.
Should these anticipation be realized we
shall exhibit from Rutland 10 Burlington Ga
miles the easiest route in New England
From the Connecticut to the foot ofA1t. Hol-
ley the grades will be equally favorable, and
through the gap nothing more Objectionable
than on the Central route. The improve
meuts so far as the survey has been actually
made are so great as 10 be Incredible eXceDt
to those who have been in a situation to Judge
Of the treacherous course of FELTON,. This
man by directing Messrs. Tracy and Chase
to go as direct as was decent from Bellows
Falls to Burlington makes As miles OF grades
between 60 and 20 feet between those points.
Not one Of those grades probably need be
encountered, and between so and go not over
l3 miles at Mount Holley.

The French Mission in China,iti is thought

The French Mission in China, ii is thought
will obtain the abolition of the rigorous edicts
which forbid the Chinese 20 embrace and
practice Christianity. These edicts, after
having been revoked under the reign of the
Emperor Kan Hi, were brought into force
about a century ago, onthe advice OF the Tri-
bunals ofRiies; and, until these latter times
at least, have been put into execution by the
Chinese magistrates, with the Utmost rigor.
Thus Christianity has found Il double obsta-
Gle 10 lis introduction into the middle of the
empire. The Journal DIES Debats says that
''the first overtures came from the Chinese
negotiators themselves, from Keying. the
representative ofthe Emperor, and from the
treasurer, Hu Ad. Keying has a liberal and
philosophical mind. Far from having any
prejudice or a~ntipathy against Christianity,
he repeats, both in personal conference and
in his written correspondence, that a religion
that forSids evil and commends good. cannot
be 4 false one. In Il word, he offered his me-
diation with the Emperor and Tribunal of
Rites 10 obtain a revocation OF the anti Chris
tian edicts."
