DELAWARE AND SLAvERy.--W

DELAWARE AND SLAVERY I'VE gave a
paragraph dav or two since from the
Wilmington (Del.) Republican, to the
effect that slave owners there, were sell
ling otf'their slaves as fast as they could
first into Maryland thonce to the
South, to prevent loss from their running
away. Now this, it seems, is not SO.
The Moth American says:
Slaves are not sold 10 the South in
Delaware. for the simple reason that the
laws forbid 1t; nor do they often run a.
way-a circumstance which we might
almost ascribe to the fact, that there are
scarcely any there to do SO. In reality,
they have, and they have long had in
operation, in Delaware, a system of laws
the wisest and most efectual, perhaps,
ever devised for the gradual and ST.
lent extinction Of slavery; the basis OF
which is statute rendering 1t a INSIDE
meanor, punishable by heavy fine, to
sell slave out OF the State, while the
snpelslructure consists of acts giving the
strongest encouragement to the prac-
tice of manunissIon. The number of
slaves in Delaware, in 1910, was 2,6O5,
and these were slaves only in name, the
vast majority probably three-fourths or
rine tenhs as estimated by different in
telllsent Delawarians-being manumit-
ted, and therefore not slaves at all, and
the remainder nearly all old people
whose masters would be delighted to
have them runaway, since they would
thus relieve the former from the legal
obligation OF supporting them"

AN lNCoRRIGlBLE Locoroco. Our
friend Harker of the Independent Della
warian still will not acknowledge the
corn" Well, it will be all right, if he
will openly avow his paper as partlzan
print; that will be sufficient acknowl-
edsement. "The leopard cannot change
his spots, nor the Ethiopian his
skim" therefore we We're not surprised
that he could not print paper indepen-
dent of party bias. We suggest that he
come out locofoco and be done with in
consistency. This we always supposed
he would do, and we know it would be
more consonant with his feelings.
About the term slocofoco," there is no
use Of farther quibbling. When the party
to which that name is applied, threw of
"Jacksonism" as a name, and laid clam
to the title sDemocrat," il was natural for
the Democrats in the opposite party to re-
fuse to award it, especially as it was noto-
rioos that very many in their ranks We're
of the other original school Of politics. The
term locofoco having arisen among them
selves, it was applied 10 them by the
wings, and SO far as we can tell, it dcs;g-
mates them as well as they could be deslg-
mated by any other title.

TREASURY ESTIMATES FOR THE YEAR 1851
from The Secretary ofhe Treasury
we received Tuesday night from Wash
lngton document comprising $50 pages,
being letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury, transmitting to Congress his es-
Inmates of additional appropriations re-
qulred Tor the service OF the fiscal wear
ending June 80, 1880, and for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1851. The volume
contains an immense mass of statistical
matter, which will doubtless be summed
up in the annual report OF the Secretary.
From the recapitulation of the estimate OF
appropriations required for the support of
Government for the year ending June 80,
1851, we make up the following table:

The brief announcement by telegraph Of the re
ceipt of intelligence from Sir John franklin was re-
ceived with unusual qualification. The particulars
are not stated, but the form Of the statement suf
GENTLY indicates that he has been heard Of insafey
and is consequently within reach of help if he
needs it. The fate Of this intrepid navigator has
created profound interest, which was heightened
blythe spirit and energy with which Lady Frank
lin has forwarded and urged enterprises for his re-
lief on both sides Of the Atlantic We doubt not
that over all the Spplauses and welcomes he will
receive on bis return, the dearest to his heart viii
be the knowledge Of the courageous, persevering
and afectonate exertons of his wife for his rescue.
We have only conjecture by which to form any
opinion Of his course, but it is evident thaG he
must have been far on his return when caught in
the Prince Regents Inlet, where he is said to be
now. That Inlet is soon made in voyages Of dis,
covery, being within very accessible distance
nom the sea, and not in a very high latitude. The
most northerly point where it enters into Barrow
Strait is notabove73o Of north latitude, The Inlet
was discovered by Parry on his. first voyage in
1919 and was called Prince Regents Inlet BECAUSE
it was entered on the 18th of August, which was
the Princes birthday. He first entered Davis's
Straits about the LIST of July Il was in this Inlet

with the Heela and Fury; the Fury was driven
ashore and wrecked there on attempting to get out,
| in July, when the ice broke up. The loss Of this
ship compelled Parry to abandon his enterprise
and return to England. He gave in his narrative
dreary account of the place. fall Arctic conn-
tries visited by him, he pronounced the two shores
of Prince Regents Inlet to be the most naked and
barren the most dreary and desolate that have ever
been seen, not excepting Mefville's Island-not
only desOlate of human beings, bat almost de-
| prived of all animal and vegetable life.

two ships-the :" Erebus" and the "Terror," and

FHE OHIO DIFFICULTY.-The result OF the
Ohio election will it is evident reproduce the con-
troversy in the State Legislature, which last year
nearly broke up the Government. The facts are
simply these; The apportonment law, passed in
1877, divided the county Of Hamilton, which con-
tains the city Of Cincinnati. The county and city
together uniformly give democratic majority
that party had, therefore, always had the two SEN
ators and five Representatives. The new law
made district Of the first eight wards of Cincin-
matt, giving to it one Senator and two Representa-
tives to the remainder Of the city and county were
assigned one Senator and three Representatives.
The Constitution Of the State, so say the demo.
Gratis, foTbids the division of counties for represent
alive districts. They accordingly refused to rsc5g
niEe the division, but nominated and elected their
full ticket foF the county last year. Three of their
candidates bad maorties in the second district as
well as the county, and were admitted by the Iegis-
ature, Of course; but t0o, having majority in the
county, were nevertheless in minority in the city
district. The two wings who received the highest
votes there, claimed their seats The House of
Representatives, last year, after stormy debate,
admitted the county representation, and decided
the division to be unconstitutional
On this precedent the democrats have nominated
and elected full ticket again for the county. The
wings adhere to the appointment, and voted in
districts The returning officers for the county
have made return of the whole democratic ticket
of five, The difficulty is in the first district, where
| the wings have given majority for two men; but
as we gather the returning officers disagree, and
two sets of returns have been made.
In this view Of the difficulty, the result of the
other elections is of much importance. We. see.it
stated that the wings have elected 80, the demo.
Gratis "a, (Which includes three of the Hamilton
members,) and the free sellers 6-total 70. The
| two disputed members from Cincinnati would make
up the whole number. of 10. Even if these two
| members are given to the democrats they would
have just half the House, and the free soilers
would hold the balance of power in any event. Il
is not stated what have been the relations of these
members to the old parties.

From THE UPPER MIssIssIPPI.-Th ST. Louis
ReveilIe of the 18th furnishes some items of news
from st, Anthony, brought by gentleman just
arrived.
The Commissioner from Washington had arrived
two weeks previously at St, Anthony, for the pur.
pose of treating with the Chippewas for lands. 1t
was the opinion of Mr.. Ramsey, Governor of Min
esota, that they could effect nothing for some time,
as most of the tribe were at their hunting grounds,
laying in provisions for the winter.
About the LIST inst deputatiOn Of fifteen Chip
pewa halEbreeds arrived at St. Anthony from Sell
kirk settlement, to lodge complaint with the Gov
ernor against their neghbors, the Indians and
whites on the British side. They complain that
these people were intruding upon their grounds
for the purpose of hunting, and were rapidly dri-
wing away or killing off their game. They were
too weak to redress themselves and claim the pro-
lection of our government. Governor Ramsey pa
Cited them by stating that new fort is shortly to
be erected above Fort Gaines, when the annoy
ances complained of would be guarded against.
The new fort is to be called Fort Scott
About the same time a party of Winnebagoes
arrived at the town of st. Anthony, above the
Falls, reporting, that in an engagement they had
had with the Sioux, they had killed and wounded
some thirty Of the enemy. The two nations had
been sncamped for some weeks at the Rice Lakes,
where they had been engaged in gathering rice.
The report Of the engagement was generally dis
believed al St. Anthony.
