THE RESULT.

Although the general result of the late
election is conceded, we do not know, as
yet, by VIVA, najori.ies, precisely, the re-
spec,ive candidates have carried their re-
speclive States. Enough is known TO
warran. us in saying thai the Wing cause
and their candidates have succeeded.
The next Congress will be Wing by a
largely increased majority over that oil
the present. This is telling reouke up
on the arrogant assumptions Of Locofoco-
ism. Had the Wings only succeeded in
elec,ing Taylor and Fillmore. the Locos
might, with some show of reason, have
said that i. was Gen. Taylor's popularity
tina. did the work. But as the Wing
cause has gained strength generally, they
will be bound to concede that it is popu-
lar with the grea. mass Of the voters OF
the country.
The truth is, that Gen. Taylor was
stronger in some States than the Wings,
and weaker in others.
We shall have more TO say about this
in future number of the Herald at pres>
ent we wish 10 remind our readers that
the Locos have gained nothing by underta-
king to stamp the Wing party with the
infamy of being enemies 10 their country.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
In the matter of the petition Of
"JIM," a colortd man,

In the matter of the petition Of
"JIM," colortd man, lH,b.os co-ous
HoRACE NJ. FREEMAN.
The petitioner was brought before his Honor, s.
G. HASTINGS, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the State of Iowa, at his chamber on Tuesday,
the 18th inst, by writ of habeas corpus.
In order that the matter may be understood, it Is
proper to state: that the petitioner was, en- the 25h
day of October last, seized as fugitive slave, and
taken before D. C. CLouD, Justice Of the Peace Of
Muscatine county, and upon full hearing of the
cause, adjudged TO be free man, and dischar yed
from custody. From this judgment, or order, no
appeal had been taken; but Freeman, who was the
agent of one Thomas r. Hughes, of st. Louis, went
TO the Hon. J. j. DYER, Judge of the D trict Court
of the United States for the District of Iowa, and
obtained warrant, commanding him, the said Free
man, to arrest the co!ored man, "Jin,," and bring
him before the said Judge. On Monday evening,
the 18th the said Freeman arrested Jim, with the
intention of taking him before Judge Dyer. After
the arrest Jim filed his petition for writ Of habeas
hearing on the 18th inst The petition stated the
facts in relation to the prior adjudication of the mat
ter all Of which were admitted by the return to the
writ.
After hearing the cause. His Honor, Judge Hast
ings, decided the following points:
lst. That Judge of the District Court of the
United States, has no authority TO issue precept
commanding the owner Cor his agent or Attorney
Of fugitive slave, seize such slave and bring him
before him for examination.
I'd. That the owner, or his agent or attorney, may
arrest fugitive slave without process, and take him
before the Judge of the District Court of the United
States, or any Justice Of the Peace of the proper
county.
Sd. That the statute Of Iowa in relation to blacks
and mulattoes, was designed TO aid the owner in the
speedy arrest Of his slave and is constitutional but

e. RI will be observed, by reference to the last
column Of o-lay's paper, that we have revised our
terms OF subscription in accordance with the wish
Of our partner, who, from his acquaintance with
most Of the patrons Of the establishment. confides
in their disposition to pay the advanced rates.
Advertisers also, are requested to notice the obi
cation under which we rest to charge, invariably,
according to regular bill of prices. The rates are
not as high as are the charges in mos, other sec
tons Of the West; but somewhat in advance of the
rates taxed by the late firm. We assure all inter-
ested, that we charge no more than living rates, ana
friends to the establishment, who wish 10 see the
paper occupying a credable standing among its
fellows, are entreaed to consider well before asking
US to deviate from wholesome purpose We have
on our exchange list number of papers well calcu-
lated to Illustrate the evil effects Of too low a grade
OF advertising rates In order to derive any
from their advertising columns, they are compelled
TO take in everything offered at Just such prices as
they are granted Consequently, they are over.run
by patent medicine agents-their subscriptions are
"Ofihless-ther type worn OUT and their establish
ments continually on the eve Of failure.
Our rates are not up to the average, but we hope
through personal industry and economy, to make a
little more than our expenses by living up to them.
We have now in the paper some three or four col
umns of advertisements more than we expect to re.
tain. The s,eamboating season is about over, and
n umhcr of advertisements hpppndinu unon II will
soon be discontinued. Others expire BY limitation.

for the businea lrst rate order. The
main building is iffyby fifty six feet. The
s!augh,erng pen is elevated upon platform
above the level Of the scalding vat, so that the

ease, from whence they can be taken 10 the

with rapidity truly surprising. TO those who

the saugh,ering line. Four hundred hogs can
be slaughtered and hung tip to Dry" in a
day, with the labor Of ten men. Everything,
almost, is done by steam. Steam heats the
water for scalding, and steam tries out the
lard from the otfaI, heads, shoulders aud sides.
The refuse portions are lie, through the bot
tom of The tubs by lifting q trap door-raised

which are destined TO take the place Of those

This concern is. decidedly, an advantage 10
the town and surrounding country. Farmers
can here have their hogs dressed in better or

ordinary circumstances.
