Case of the Fugitive slave.

This statement in The Tribune OF yesterday that
the whole Police force of the city had turned slave
catchers by order Of the Mayor and that without
any pretcnce Of legal process or obligation created
universal astonishment and on all sides we've heard
expressions of shame and Indignation in view Of
such prostitution OF executive authority, Humane
aud candid men OF al parties, so far as we can
learn, regard the conduct of the Mayor highly
dsgraccful, and ask why. as the highest executive
officer Of the city, he should transcend his powers
for the sake of rveting the poor fugitive the
chains which had been broken by the righteous de
cision of a high judicial tribunal Is our city Con
go and arc our citizens savages that their agents
should thus enlist in the business OF slave hunting
not merely without Law but against it
Anticipating another defeat at the hands OF Jus
tee the prosecutors of this unfortunate negro have
trumpcd up against him "a criminal charge OF MS
sault and battery, and intending thereby to detain
him until his master can get him IN his power. Yes.
this boy who was chained, confined and otherwise
maltreated by his prosecutor, in the harbor of New
York is actually charged by them with the crime OF
assault and battery Could any thing be more out
rageous But this is no; the worst of the case.
The Mayor. Influenced no doubt by the same mo
tives which induced him to hunt the innocent negro
like felon demands bail on this sham charge IN
the sum of One Thousand Dollars A guilty man
arraigned similar charge could easily get bailed
for one tenth of the Is this the estimate which
the People of New York place the crime of low
ing Liberty This day at ! O'Clock, the counsel
of the Fugitive will have hearing before the
Mayor with a view to the reduction of this cxorbi
tant bail We shall see whether his desire to re
duce man to Slavery transcends his regard for his
own character and the reputation of the City.
The decision OF Judge Edmonds on the second
habeas corpus will probably be given this forenoon.
Much disappointment was felt that was not given

When JAMES CONNER was candidate for coun
ty Clerk in ls4a. although opposed to JosEPH
WED, most unexceptionable and everfaithtul
Wing, several hundred Wings voted for Conner
because OF his poverty and his msfortunes. Mr.
Weed was by no means rich man, but he was
deemed able to live without the emoluments OF of
fee, while Conner was understood to need it badly
so many Wings laid aside Politics and gave Con.
ner their votes. The Wing Printers especially
gave an almost unanimous vote for Conner.
Now Mr.. Conner has held that most lucrative Of

Tho Stnte md CITY.

Having been confined ou Jury for the most OF
the two last days and been obliged to devote our
evenings to duties connected with the Election, We
are utterly unable to answerthe letters which hive
reached rs from distant points requesting private
adyices as 10 the probable result in this State We
could only say privately. as we do publicly, that
we have most undoub;ng confidence III the election
of JoHS YoUNc as Governor by Eight TO Fifteen
thousand majority. If the strong Wing counties
arc as well polled out MS the doubtful and Loco
Foco Counties will be, Mr.. Young must have over
Ten Thousand majority; If they are permitted TO
fall oil ms Muskingum. Champaign and the Reserve
Counties of Ohio did, it may be something less
but not much. Silas Wright will lose more than
his majority of 1914 IN ten Counties, while we
know not one besides this City in which his friends
even expect to make gain. We arc confident
that Wright will lose in three tourths OF the Coun-
tics, and will not materially gam in half dozen.
We cannot make calculation which would elect
him
Our Lieutenant Governor Congress, and the AS
scmbly are in doubt, though we strongly hope for
complete triumph on all points
AS to our City ii the influence of Office and
Money were out of the way John Young would go
out OF it ahead But with all these against us, We
may be be aten somewhat, but we hope less than in
1874 1t may be good deal less it can hardly be
more Such are our convictions.
