SOUTH BosToN LANDS.

We publish below notice for further proposals
for these lands. The Solicitor of the Treasury adj
vertsed2 O2 lots in Boston, and has received nu-
merous bids for separate lots, and a large number
Tor the whole in gross. These bids were mostly
transmitted from Boston and other places, and re-
ceived before the 18th instant, at IL o'clock at noon
just before that time, the Solicitor received notice
that the President, on representation made to him
on mat day that they were necessary for public
purposes, had directed that certain of said lots
should be exempted from sale, and be appropriated
ior pubic use. The bidders present were at once
informed OF this reservation, and several of them
are SAID to have amended their bids in consequence
OF It, The absent bidders had no opportunity OF
doing SO. Those who bid only for the reserved
lots have had no opportunity since the reservation
to bid for others if they wished to do so. Under
these circumstances. the Solicitor, upon ADJUSTMENT.
has concluded to extend the time of receiving bids
for the South Boston lands until the l lth Noyem-
Der; prior to which, former bids for this property
will not be made public. This will afford an op-
portunity for new bids, or revision of old ones
This is deemed but simple act of Justice towards
those who made their offers without knowing of the
reservation. Ii is the only course open to the So
hcor, promising entire justice to all and it is but
reasonable to expect that it will meet the approval
of those interested and the public.

already received will be treated valid bids unless withdrawn
where they do not include these excepted lots.

Judicial Decision-a Runaway Slave.

In The United States Circuit Court. at
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. penalty Of $500
has been awarded against DR.. Mitchell, of
Indiana county, for entring slave from
his master. The case was tried under
the act Of Congress Of 1893, and for the
penalty imposed by that act. The deci-,
sion in this case goes somewhat further
than the famous Van Zandt case of Ohio.
In the case decided at Pittsburg there was
no proof of any attempts ON the part Of
Dr. Nj. 10 entice the slaves away from
their master. Nor was there any proved
interference 10 prevent their return to their
owners. He gave them employment,
however, knowing them TO be slaves, and,
according 10 the charge of the Judge, and
the inference of the jury from the charge,
there was room for tile verdict rendered.
In Judge McI.ean's charge, the act of en-
ployment simply was not deemed an of.
fence under the act Of Congress. The
case occupied the Court, the Pittsburg
Gazette says, four days. Judge Grier's
charge was pointedly against the defend
ant. ~ '@ e
