BLACK LAWS OF INDIANA.

Mn. EDIroR:-Through the columns of your
paper beg leave to invite public attention to a
subject of great Importance to the people of In
diana. and which, owing to some cause or othe r,
has hitherto been kept strangely out of sight
af1ude to what commonly called the BLACK
Laws" of our State. The greater part of these
enactments may be found nterspersed here and
there through the Revised Statutes of IS43; and
as believe much confusion of ideas prevails re-
speeding their character and particular provis-
ions, l shall endeayor to give the substance Of
them to your readers as follows:
They provide that every black or mulatto per-
SON who shall come into this State, shall give
bond, with sufficient security, payable to the
State of Indiana in the penal sum Of FIVE hun.
dred dollars, conditional that such person shall
not become county charge, as also for such per-
sons good behavior; and a conviction Of such
negro or mu atto of any crime or misdemeanor,
shall amount TO a forfeiture of the condition of
such bond; and should any negro or muIatto fail
to give such bond, the overseers Of the poor shall
hire him out for six months for the best price in
cash that can be had, or at their option remove
him without the jurisdiction Of the State, in the
manner pointed out by the regulations in force
respecting pauPers-
They provide that no negro mulatto shall
be witness, excep in pleas Of the State against
negroes and muiattoes, and in civil causes where
negroes and mulattoes alone are parties.
They provide that the right of Shareholders to
pass through our State with their slaves shall be
secured, thus violating the express and positive
prohibitions Of our c constitution.
They prohibit the intermarriage Of negroes or
mulattees with whites, by penalty ofimprison-
,nent at hard labor in the State Prison for not
less than one year, nor more than ten years, and
a fine of not less than one thousand dollars. nor
more than five thousand dollars.
They provide that any person who shall har-
Dor or employ any fugitive slave who may come
into this State, shall eRcouraR. and assist any
such fugitive TO desert his master, or By any
means preve Mt or hinder his aster from recover
ing such fugitive. shall be fined in any eur, not
exceeding five hundred dollars, and be liable for
damages to any person vino may be injured by
any Of said acts; thus making penal by State
enactments, IN offence cognizable and punish
able by laie of Congress, TACT o. 1881 as
matter affecting the government and laws Of the
Unson, with which be it remembered, the States
are not bound to have any thing 70 do.
They provide that no negro or muiatto shall
have any share Of the school fund belonging to
the State
Finally, they provide that il shall be the duty
of State officer, tueh a. justices Of the peace,

RECORDER OF THE SECOND MUNICIPALITY
Yesterday we missed the time-honored face of
Recorder Baldwin in the office of the Second Mu-
nicipality Police Court. His place was occupicI
by Alderman Golding, of the Second Ward, who
in all probability, will maintain his position To-
three months to come. Recorder Baldwin, whGas
name is a terror to all who are vicious, left New
Orleans on Saturday last, on board the steamboat
Marshal Ney He will, that is to say, not the Mar
shal, but the worthy Recorder proceed to Philadel-
pha, and from thence to New York and Boston,
and, in all probability will greet some OF his friends
at Saratoga Springs or the Falls of Niagara We
wish the absent Municipal officer health and hap
pness and are under the firm opinion that so long
as Alderman Golding sits magistrate upon the
g curule,' that justice will be duly administered
20 all Acting Recorder Golding did not, however,
appear TO be much " at home F" yesterday. He had
100 much of the milk of human kindness in his
heart to enact the part Of Rhadamanthus No
matter, he viii improve by practice, and when Re-
c0rder Baldwin comes back he will have no occa-
sion to complain of his wtilome successor.
