Protection of Shareholders,
The following. from the Correspondents Of thesi
Courier, gives some indication that the recent ocss
currences in Washington city, may result in some
good. This bill at all events will demonstrate
how far Congress is disposed 10 sustain the Com
sttution, and will moreover prove who are our

Mr.. Butler made an important report TO day;
from the Senate Committee ON the .Judiciary,z
on the resolutions Of the Kentucky Legislatures
relative 10 difficulties of recovering fugitive.
slaves in the free States. The Legislature ,of
Ky. represented some facts that had occurred
lately in Michigan. The owners of the slaves
who had fed into Michigan followed them, but
were mobbed by the populace, and fined hum
dred dollars apiece for creating ri'. ln,near-s
ly all the free States, it is represent' hat laws
exist prohibiting any state Judge i-''n issuing
process for the arrest of fugitive SIX; land pro.
hibitng any State Sheriff or Constable from
aiding in the arrest of slave, or c''nlining him
in any Jail. With all these obstacles, and the
tide Of popular opinion to contend with, the
slave owner cannot recover his property. The
clause ofthe Act of 1893, which was intended
to secure slave owners in their property, and
to require that fugitive slave he ''deliveredup"
to the owner, is dead letter. 1t has been
nulli6ed by the legislation of the free States.
Mr.. Butler goes into an elaborate argument on
the subject. and reports bill 10 meet the case.
This bill makes the United States officers in
the several States the means of securing the
constitutional rights ofthe slave owner. The
difficulty presented by the Act ofl793 is, there.
fore, avoidcd-lor it has been contended that
Congress cannot require State officers 10
execute federal law. The Post. Masters, Col
lectors, &C., and all other United officers, are
required by the Act to grant a certificate to the
slave owner, or his agent on proper proof, up.
on which the United States Marshal is hound
10 arrest and deliver the fugitive. The bill
provides penalties for the hindrance. of an ar
resi-, or for the rescue and concealment Of slave
arrested. i i,4+

safe and speedy communication with Charleston.
He brought up good freight last trip, and if we
should Judge by portion OF her CARGO trade is
brisker in the interior, than it is in our towns-she
having brought up ffy-one hhds. Of sugar, for
merchant in North Carolina. More cotton was Of
fering as down freight than she could carry. We
wish her long continued success.
