REQUIslTioN ON Ono FOR Persons AIDING SLAVES
TO ESCAPE we learn that fifteen citizens of this
State have been arrested on warrant issued by
justice OF Warren County, and held to bail in the
sum OF $1,000 piece, to await the answer of the
Governor of Ohio to the requistion ofthc Cover
nor of Kentucky for their presence at the Court of
Common Pleas OF Campbell County, Ky, to an
swer to the charge of stealing five slaves, the
property oictlzens Of that county. The affidavit
upon which this warrant was issued, was made by
Genera! Taylor, of Newport If we mistake not,
They cannot be compelled to appear IN Kentucky,
but upon his answer to the requlsitlon. Will he
deliver them up. They cannot be charged with
having committed the crime in Kentucky except
escape of the slaves The example ofCIov. Skunk
will recur TO every one. lie refused to comply
with the requisition ofthe Governor of Maryland,
founded on an indictment, for the reason that no
law We do not think that Gov. Bibb would de-
liver them up even il they really had been in Ken
lucky. We understand that Corwin and Giddings
have been retained to manage the suit. The ar
rested persons are residents in various parts OF the
State, on the line from here TO Sandusky City, and
are all of them of high responsibility. Since the
ABOVE was written, We learn that Gov. Bib has
t begged to De excused . from complying with the
ground that Ohio laws don't recognize properly in

ing in The Soldiers Circus Theatre and

We expect Il magnificent celebration on the oc-
caslon of the laying of the corner stone of the
Washington National Monument, tomorrow. 1t
is the monument to be built from the voluntary
contributions of the citizens of the United States,
and the society have about 10000 to start on.
The monument will require million. 1t will be

be reduced TO half the said height, according to
the prospect of the finances Volunteers from the
surrounding cities, Zone company from Boston)
have been coming in to-day by land and river, and
al midnight the city Is enlivened by music.
We had to-day the second edition of the cam
palgn debate In the Senate, on the respective doc
times OF General Taylor and General Cass, the
discussion as before, chiefly between Mr.. Mangum
and Mr.. Foote. Ii was much ado about nothing,
and wound up, leaving us as much enllg htened as
at first.
Both houses adjourned over, with view of par
tIcipat'Dg In the cornerstone celebration to-mor-
row. We expect fine day. We have never known
fourth OF July to be otherwise. IL has been, as
far as we remember, always as clear as the Deca
ration OF Independence.
There were two political out-of-door meetings
tonight
1. a Cass and Butler meeting.
Taylor and Fillmore meeting.
The former was held In the open square in front
OF the Union office. Ii was quite respectable ga
thering, in material and in numbers. John Boyle,
Esq, presided, with thirteen vicc-presidents and
three secretaries. The people were addressed by
Messrs. Greene, of Maine, Thompson, of Mlssis-
sippi, Clark, of kentucky, Sawyer of ONO who
promised the State to Cass and Butler by 10000
majority, (nous pGToas,) and we left Mr.. Sims, of
South Carolina, pledging the South to the Balli
more nominees.
The wing meeting was held IN Sixth street, OF:
poslie Colemans. There was very slim atten
dance; and after short speeches by Col WooIley,
Of Kentucky, Gen. Taylor, of Ohio, Mr. Dudley
Marvin, OF New York, and Mr.. Collins Lee, of
Maryland the meeting adjourned for an.
other effort on Wednesday evening. 1t closed
with three cheers for Gen Taylor; but the shouts
were faint, for the good Clay wings of Washington
were doubtless thinking of the old songs and
champion of ~ that great old chiefta,n whom
they cannot yet give up. The echoes from the
last campaign seemed to be present in the air.

LATER PROM CUBA-We are in receipt Of late

The BAIL REFoRM.-Our Judges have now, for
the most part their faces against the small bail
and straw bail business, which used TO prevail in
too many of our courts. This IS one thing which
promises well for the working of the new Judicial
~ regulations. II used TO be the first move of
counsel, for persons accused OF high off noes, TO
present themselves with proposed bondsmen, who
guaranteed the appearance Of the accused party
before the court at specified time. The quality
OF the bail was not scrutnized too closely; and so,
by rather transparent piece of chicanery, it not
connivance, rogues were allowed to escape. So
common had this quGSt balllng business become,
that class oi men, known as bailmasters, used To
make a good living 10y becoming the particular
trends and bondsrnen Of thieves, burglars and other
telons.
The process was very simple; the bail being
taken, the chances OF conviction were canvassed !;
end II counsel, or the accused'paIy thought IT too
close corner TO remain IN, the bailee had only to
pack his trunks and push tor the Tar west south or
east. The case being called for lrial, procIama-
ton was made In open court, announcing that
such such fecognIZaDces were forfeited; the
bsIlor was, perhaps, walled on, but to no effect,
ard thus ended the farce.
But now The thing Is altogether changed. Taught
by The past, the Judges at pese ut presiding IN
| rlous courts, demand al applicants ITO show the
solyency OF their proposed bail The oath of the
bailor Is demanded IN addition, and generally a
good round amount is placed upon the bond. tlt
