THE KIDNAPPING CAsE.-Thomas n. Da-
Wis, charged with carrying off two free ne gro
boys, and offering them for sale at Memphis,
Tennessee, having returned 10 this city with
the negroes, was arrested a few days sgo and
examined on that charge before Justice
Smith. The District Attorney attended the
investigation on the part Of the United States,
which resulted in the commitment of Davis

On Thursday three worthy, hard working

Brooks were arrested at Mount Holly, West
Jersey by a person from Maryland, who
claims them as fugitive slaves. They we're
taken before Judges Haywood, McHenry

was postponed till to-day. The Judges de-.

to conflict with the acts Of Congress.
To-day the case was called IN; Strattpn

celebrated David Paul Brown, OF Philadel.

Black Laws in Washington.

delphia Sun, says -
For several days past there has been an
extraordinary commotion among the colored
people of our city. Some tveanty years ago
a law was passed requiring every free colored
person resid ent in the city, that he should
produce his certificate of freedom, and three
freeholders who should give security IN hve
hundred dollars each, for the good behavior
of such colored person. In 1886 a new law
required that the number of freeholders should
be increased to five, and the amount Of the
bonds to one thousand dollars. From 1880
to 1910, the increase Of our free colored pop
ulation was 1000; and since the last named
period, owing to the stringency Of the late
laws Of the states Of Maryland and Virginia.
crowds OF this class Of residents have hocked
annually into the city. 1t is computed that
the aggregate number at present, is some
5000 or 7000-or nearly one-fourth of our
whole population.
ga considerable portion of this colored
community, consists Of very worthless, law
less persons, who prey on the white citizens
in every possible mode, and introduce scenes
of nightly disorder in our streets. 1t has
therefore been deemed by the corporation. a
duty which it owes TO the city, to adopt some
mode Of regulating and purifying our color
ed population. For this purpose a law was
passed last week, requiring every free color

G-Dr. Lemoyne had an appointment to
speak at New Lisbon, Ohio, on his way
home from Buffalo. When he had conclud-
ed his address, it fell to our lot to tell the au.
diencG what had been done at Buffalo. AS
soon as we had announced the nomination of
Hale, up jumped VIM. b. Irish a promin-
ent man among the Garrisonians of those
parts-and exclaimed, 81 am glad Of il!-
John p. Hale is a great man! He stood up
manfully for the slave, and when his party
discard ed him for it, he maintained his indie
~pendence, and the people nobly sustained
him. | am glad he has been nominated, and
hope men OF all parties will sustain him.
An anti-slavery whig here asked, "Wil your
party support him, Mr.. lrish," "Well,"
said Mr.. Irish, 'we are the non-voting party;
il is our rule not TO vote at ALL" "Pefhaps
Mr.. Irish will be an exception to the rulel"-
said DR.. Lemoyne. "Well," said he, ~
don't knoto but What RI hare 10 do it,
Washington Patriot.
If we supposed the above was given, sim
ply to show what one man thought of John
p. Hale's nomination, we should not think
it worth while to notice il; but it is evidently
designed to make The impression that even
Disunionists may be brought to vote for Hale.
Our friend, VIM. B. Irish, for the last two
years has co-operated with the Disunionists,
& contributed quite largely to. the funds ofthe
Western Society, but so far from having full
ly adopted the non-voting theory himself, we
have a number Of times heard him refuse to
declare that he would not again vote. II he
is a Disunionist, he will not swear to support
a pro-slavery constitution, or vote for another
to do tiff he is not, he may cast his ballot
for Hale. We thirk there is no danger how
ever.

or We have received the FIRST No. Of
THE OCEAN WAvK,'' the new Temperance
paper Just started at New Lisbon. II aPpears
to be well got up, and from The character OF
some Of the articles, we suppose 1t will be
the organ Of the Sons of Temperance. The
editors, by the way, have a singular idea OF
what constitutes a secret society-in their es-
timation the Masons, Odd Fellows and other
secret societies, are not secret societies after
all. So broad a declaration we should think
was hardly called for in defence of the Sons
Of Temperance, but we suppose the editors
understand their own business best.

Tie New PAPER AT WAsmNGToN.-A
Washington correspondent Of the PhiIadel.
phia Sun, speaking of the pro-slavery paper
That it is proposed to establish at the Nation
al Capital, says:-
alt has been supposed that the Charleston
scheme for the establishment of "A newspaper
devoted to the interests of Shareholders, and
intended for the defence Of the peculiar insti-
tutions of the South, would be carried into
effect before the close Of this year. The con-
dition in which it stands is this il was esti-
mated that the amount Of capital necessary TO
the paper in that vigorous and i'm
posing form which would give it character
and effect, should not be less than $50, 900.
The sum subscribed is $50, 900: and the ques-
ton is, whether the paper shalt be started on
this amount, or whether it shall be delayed
until the subscription can be filled up to the
SUN originally proposed. Duff Green, whose
finger is ready for every mans pie, has been
very aSsiduous in his efforts 10 obtain the
management of the new journal, but | an
told that he cannot bring sufficient interest TO
operate in his favor. He will not therefore
be selected. As he is connected with Mr..
Calhoun's family, by the internarriage of a
daughter with Mr.. Calhoun's son, il may be
presumed that he was supported in his pre-
tensions by the Southern Senator Whether

Trial of Mrs. Ann Tanner.

On our first page will be found an account
of the trial of a Missouri STAKEHOLDER for the
murder of her slave, which resulted in the
ordinary way of such trials-a verdict of
'Not Guilty" being rendered by the jury.
We do not see how any one can indulge
the faintest hope of securing conviction in
such cases, for the law in at least one Of the
States, and public opinion in nearly all, have
so strange an idea of moderate correction as
applied to a slave as to admit that the sub
ject may die under it; and the killing of a
slave in such a case is not murder. 1t would
be impossible to find a jury Of frontier squat
tiers who would adjudge a man to be guilty
of murder for shooting a wolf; and the chiv-
alric squatters Of the South who have taken
possession of the persons Of the slaves, have
about as little regard for the life of negro,
as the others have for the life of an animal.
Public sentiment is, however, on the ad-
vance. A few years since, such criminals as
Mrs. Ann Tanner would not have consented
to be tried, it would have been considered
an insult to their dignity to ask it of them,
and not a Prosecuting Attorney could have
been found who would venture to send up
their case to the Grand Jury, or a Grand Ju-
~ SO impolite as to find a true bill, or a Judge
SO destitute OF chivalry as to try a Mrs. for
so insignificant a peccadilloas beating slave
TO death. But this is an age ofcompromlse,
and even shareholders have TO yield some
thing 10 public sentiment. When we re-
member that but a few years since, the trial
ofa STAKEHOLDER for the murder of a slave
would have been regarded somewhat in the
light of a moral miracle, an occurrence with
out the circle of the natural order Of events,
il is quite encouraging to find that in these
days the male and female Tanners, and scour
gers, and killers of the south have been forced
to consent to play at being tried-a few more
years, and public sentiment will compel the
Southern courts to do up the work in earnest
"ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REwARD!' has
been offered by Edward Bates, President OF
the great Chicago Convention, for 'my mu'
latto man Bennett" Bennett, we think,
must have been a little insane when he left
his kind master, for STAKEHOLDER Bates assures
the public 'there is no known cause for lea
wing when he did-no quarrel or apparent
dissatisfaction"
Unfortunate Bennett where can he be
wandering ! and who will be so philanthro
pic for a reward of one hundred dollars, to re-
store him TO his disconsolate master!

The RULE ApPLIGD.-It is one Of the IA
vorite positions of our Southern friends that
slavery is a civil and political institution,
and therefore not TO be meddled with by the
Church. They are fond Of quoting in this
connection Christ's saying: "Render unto
Cesar the things that are CGsar's, and unto
God the things that are Gods" We are
willing to take it so and 10 use. in irving
the case, the very illustration used by Christ
himself. "Amd they brought him a penny.
And he said unto them. Whose is this IMAGE
and superscripiion! They say unto him,
Cesar's." And then he laid down the rule.
So, when one man claims to hold another as
"a chattel personal to all i~ntents, construc-
tons, and purposes whatsoever" Edwards
Digest, Laws Of South Carolina,) let us APP
peal to our Masters maxim; let the one man
stand up beside the other; and as the claim
is announced, let us ask, "IThVse is this inn
age and supsrscription :" If the "chattel"
be a man, he bears Gods image and we
are TO render him 10 God and not to man.
Apply but this one rule of Christ's faithfully,
(and there are scores beside that will do as
WELL and slavery must cease TO exist.-Pref.
