THE PARKERsBURGH PRISONERS

Are prisoners no longer. They have left
the house of their captivity, and their feet a.
gain press the soil of Ohio. They are re-
stored to their families and friends, and he
whose child sickened and died while he Law
in a Virginia Jail, can now look upon the
snow that covers the grave of his little one.
and listen to the tale of sorrow from the
heart of the mother who watched by its sick
bed in loneliness and desolation.
The authority of Virginia has been cstab-
lished, and her right to kidnap Ohioans fully
maintained. True, her c~iptives are not con-
vlcted' for no judgment has been passed up
on their case. This will perhaps suit Virgin
ia quite as well as if they had been brouuht
to trial. She has kept them in her prison
house from July to January, refusing to liber-
ate them on any other than Va. bail of $500
each, an unusual and vexatious demand with
which the Court had reason to believe the
prisoners could not comply. And mind YOU
too, how paltry was the pretext upon which
their trial was postponed-the prosecuting
attorney had a headache, a sick stomach. or

some other trihing ailmont, and so. as the
prisoners were nothing but Ohio abolition
lists for whom nobody cared, they might as
well lie in Jail a few months longer. 1t now

McComas, held a special court in Parkers-

negro stealing now, as they were in July

siders that five months illegal Imprisonment

eXpiatlon for the insult to the dignity of tho
Ancient Dominion of which these men wcro

SHAREHOLDERS CONVENTION

Inc SHAREHOLDERS of Maryland have lately
suffered SO great aloss by the abscondinp Of
those who ''would not take their freedom IL
they could get it," that they held a meet
ing on the 9th inst, at Centreville in tina.
State for the purpose of d~evising some,
means to check the too frequent emigration,
OF their slaves. With all the formalitv
ls'omlng SO momentous an occasion, thew
adopted a series of resolutions, declaring
that thor slave property is secured 10 them
by the State and National Constitutions.
and therefore that the people of Delaware
VINO babe God speed to their fugitive slaves,

| find that the Legislature Of Ohio is, as
respects the subject of Slavery and abolition
much like the Congress of the United States,
and the State, on these questions, similar to

respectively, and the National road is Nilsson
and NirOn's line. The Governors and U. S..
Senators have, with very few exceptions,
been selected from the Southern part of the
State. Appropriations for internal improve
monts have, | believe, generally been bestow-
ed on tho same s%ection; and although | make
no invidious distinctions, except as the Mar
shdlrs returns Of 1910 point out by figures,
the northern part has the intelligence. 1t is
much more disgraceful South, too, to drive
oxen or trundlc the wheelbarrow, while it is,
generally, very popular there to despise a
"nigger." The supporters of the Black laws
are from that section, though some 'southern
Wings as well as some ''norrhern Demo-
Gratis" will probably vote for their repeal.
This comparison might DO carried out still
further which leave to the readers imari-
nltior.
The proceedings of the lower House were
quite interesting yesterday. The bill to es-
tablish the county of Mahoning Changed
from "Cass") passed the lower House after a
most animated debate. Vallandigham and
Williams of Columbiana were the principal
opposors of the bill. The former was most
ardent as well as eloquent and persey ering in
endeavoring to defeat it. b. Barnes of
Trumbull was the chief advocate of the mea.
sure. The bill passed Yeas 80, Nays 60
A few Wings in the negative and a few De.
mocrats In the affirmative, but nearly a party
vote, as most matters are now carried.
The bill to change the license law was dis
cussed and after several amendments was re.
committed.
In the afternoon both branches met in the
Hall of the House and elected by ballot, O..
Toilet of Columbus, President of the Board
OF public works. Superintendent of the Pen
itentiary, and Judges of sundry courts.

are more anti-pacifc than the retiring cabi-
net-but the circumstances of the two coun-
tries will be less likely to tend to war. A
repeal in the corn laws in England it is sup
posed will be followed by a corresponding
modification of the tariff of this country, and
that the matters at issue between the two
governments will probably be adjusted by a
comprehensive commercial treaty. This
doubtless is the object of Mr.. Calhoun and
his associates of the Southern free trade
school. Whether heir Northern and Wes-
tern allies, who go for 'the whole of OREGON
or none," will consent to a compromise
which will give England all the dispu-
ted territory north of the 10Th DECREE in
exchange for Il commercial treaty; admit
ting the products OF each country into the
others ports free, or partially free of duty,
remains to be seen. Those of the West,
most probably will, as a repeal of the corn
laws will operate benefcially upon the apri-
cultural interests of that section of country.
a commercial treaty, therefore, based on a
repeal of the British corn laws, will tend
strongly 10 an amicablo settlement of the
difficulties now existing between the two
countries.
But nothing has yet transpired upon which
an opinion as to the ultimate settlement of
tio pending controversy can be predicted with
any degree of confidence. Every body is on
tip-toe, waiting for the arrival of the Steam
cr iIibernia, now due and hourly looked for,
which is expected to bring out Intelligence,
that will probably be decisive on this point.

IMPORTANT FROM ENG.
LAND

The Liverpool packet, Liverpool, which
sailed on the 18th ult., brings news 4
days later. Her advices state that the Con-
servative Ministry of Peel and WELLINGTON
had resigned, and that the Wings had re.
turned to power, with Lord John Russell at
their head. This revolution, as it is consid-
cred, Is attributable wholly to the corn law
agitation. The now ministry will be formed
with the view of carrying out the Free Trade
policy. 1t is expected that Lord John Rus
sell will bring the question directly before
the people for their action, by calling for A
new election Of members of Parliament. At
present there is a majority of one hundred a
gainst free trade in the House of Commons.
and, of course, without a new election and n
differently constituted House, it will be diff
cult for the new administration - carry ont
the policy for which they have been call
ed to take the reins of government. 1t is
possible, however and expected by some. that
there will be a coalition between the Wbigs
and Free Trade Tories in the lower house,
and thus a majority secured in favor of the
new administration In either case, howev-
er,-it is conceded on all hands-the corn
laws are doomed to repeal.
The London Times gives the following
list as likely to constitute the new govern
ment.
