The Slave Law.

We published the leading features of the
Fugitive Slave Bill, while it was passing
through Congress; but as it subsequently,
received som alterations and additions, we
will recapituiatc, in n concise form, some
o. rs nest stringent provisions. 1t provides
that any person having the power Of at.
torney, may pursue and reclaim the party
alleged to be a slave, either by procuring
n warrant from a Judge or Commissioner
OF the United States Court, or by arrest.
ing him, where the same can be done with
out process, and taking him before the
Judge or Commissioner. Persons who OBJ
struct tho arrest, or shall rescue, directly or
Indirectly, or aill tsasa.slave 10 escape, are
subjected to a Gaei not exceeding $1,000,
and imprisonment not excecding6 months;
and, IN the event of escape, compelled to
forfeit, on a civil process, 81 600 as the va
lIr OF the slave. The testimony of any
allcdgcd fugitive slave will not be admitted
a, any tria! The law also repenls the
llabcas Corpus Act with regard to fugitive
slaves. According to it .u,c certificates of
Judges or Comm lssloners arc conclusive
oi the right OF the person il, whose favor n
warran, is erantcd,1 to remove a fugitive
slave to the State or Territory from Which
he may have escaped; and prevent all mo
i~csta''on ny any process issued by any
court, Judge. magistrate, or any other per-
SON. The U. States Marshal, after the
arrest of the slave, is held responsible for
hs safe custody, IN the sun OF $1,000. He
is ais" responsible for his safe delivery, at
ter the owner apprchcnds al arrest. The
remuneration OF the various officers who
supcrintcnd the working OF the act, is am

Fugitive Slave Law.

In our last, we declared that we had lit.
tic, confidence, that the fugitive Slave Bill
would be allowed to remain long upon tho
Statute Book. We have now mono at all.
Every Northern paper that we have seen,
as well as the Abolition and free soil pa
pers, as those which profess to support the
South upon tho Slavery question, and at
first advocated the Bill, are now against it.
TO show the tone of Northern sentiment
upon this subject, we make the following
extracts, from two Of tho leading Journals
of New York-the first, a Wing and free
soil paper-thc second, hitherto, a profess.
ed supporter of the South upon the Slavery
question.
From the N. Y. Tribune.l
"Ihe F'ugitire Lam-Beau Brommel
was once asked to Indicate the best Joke
he had ever heard in his life. After con-
sldering 4 minute, he said he thought it
wao a bcqucst of five pounds left by a man
m his will towards paying off the British
National Debt.
The Beau lived in one Of the darker
ages. Had he been blessed with the day-
light Of 1850, he would have confessed that
the passage Of the Fugitive Slave bill
(among others) expressly to settle the
slave question: was a joke entirely ahead Of
his. And the vehement assertion Of Mcssry.
Ducr, Bush, &c, at Syracuse, that the en-.
tire slavery agitation, present and future,
had been settled, quoted, put to sleep, by
these measures, went even 10 a degree, be-
yond The other. 1t was carrying absurdity
tc the verge Of the sublime.
"!fop slavery agitation has been buried
ny The passage. among othera, of this fugi-
tive slave bill, the telegraph and the Jour
mails already begin to show; though as We,
only a very few of the thousands of stu
gItires from labor" in the FREQ States
have been reached for under it. Yet al
ready Massachusetts is deeply agita,cd
by the effects Of this bill, and our W
State begins to be convulsed by it. Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, will soon be ablaze
with it. Not many members Of the House
will benceforth be elected from the free
States unpledged to its repeal; while any
general or systematic attempt 10 enforce ;:s
provisions Will obviously be met by con.
certcd evasion, if not by over. resistance.
The law never can DC enforced, even to
the extent Of returning to slavery, one
tenth OF the fugitive slaves now living in
the free States. 1t will be difficult to en-.
force i, ut all fifty miles further cas-, or
north, than this city and OF the thousand
to fifteen hundred fugitive slaves living in
Massachusetts,, we don't believe twenty
could be re-enslaycd without costing as
many lives"

Change in our Election Law.

The annexed suggestion from the
Charleston Mercury is worthy of consider.
ton. The members of Congress, who have
just been elected, will not take their seats
(shou!d the union last) until December
1881, a year and two months from the time
of their election. We think this period
TOO long. II would he better if the election
were fixed for the October proceeding the
regular time for the assembling of Con
gross. The Governor might be authorised
should an extra session be called, TO an.
point, by proclamation, an earlier dav for
tho election.
"Ihc approach of the State election re.
minds us OF what we have long considered
Il grave defect IN our law. In the first
place, we elect members Of Congress more
than 4 year before the time when they
take their seats, and a whole session inter.
veneS bef"to The judgment Of the people at
the polls can take effect. The member OF
Congress is elected for two wears, and in
the middle Of his term his constituents arc
called on to choose his successor. Ii the
incumbent is defeated for recollection, he
yet continues to hold, for another session
Of Congress, an Office for which his cols,i.
tucnts have judged him not fit. II he is
reelected, he yet may do things before the
expiration OF lis existing term which would
deprive him of their confidence.
In the second place, the intcrming.ing
ri State and Federal elections is, in oar
opinion, a; the expense and integrity OF
both. They become lumblcd, and the in.
'crcsiS at the one swallows up the other
as they lead 10 infinite log-rolling. We
want good and fit men COR all public trusts,
ana IN" "niv way I" secure this end is to
Ill every Office by itself, and not to turn
them all lose !otakc the chances OF a scrub
race, where all the world is in the field and
general confusion reigns supreme. Ii we
could have oar Congressional election near
the ~bc@'nuin" OF April II would be a grca,

NEGRO EWDENCE-Thc Winchester

fugitive slaves in Harrisburg, free negroes
were introduced for the purpose OF prov.n.
an abb. The slaves left Virginia on The
20lh OF July, yet a coNnrcd "Mnls,cr,''
VIM. NJ. Jones, sworc that they were al his
house on the l7th o fJu!y, and a number OF
other negro witnesses sworc that they
were in Pennsylvania sixty days before The
1Oth Of the same month. The Republican
adds that no prosecution was c"ormcnccl
against these persons for perjury, although
ahuHdred persons can swear linl the slaves;
did not leave Virginia until July ooh.
WORTH kNoWiNG.-Thc correspondent
Of the London Times says: The lo!Iow-
ing method of dressing potatoes viii be
found of great use at this season of the
year, when the skins are tough and po,a-
toes are wa'cry. Score the skins OF the
potatoa viii. a knife, lengthwise and cross,
quite rou,.d, and then boil the poiatoc in
plenty of water and salt, with tho skin on.
The skin readily cracks when it is scored,
and lets out the moisture, which otherwise
renders The potatoe soapy and wet. The
Improvement TO bad potatoes by this method
of boiling them is very great; and all who
have tried it find a great advantage in is, now
that good potatoes are very dIiicnlt to BE-
Obtained.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF Costume
Some Of the leading artists of England, as
we'll az many amateurs and admirers Of the
fine arts, consider that the forthcoming cx-
position in Hyde Park would be a filing
opportunity for discussing the subject OF
contume. Artists. and all persons Of
true tnsto, have long complained OF the IL
elegance and ~inconrrnIly of English and
athor costumes. Painters and sculptors
frequently have recourse TO The costumes OF
the a%ncicnts, in order to avoid the difficult
Ties which that Of the present time throws
IN their way when de!inoating the human
figure. a declaration has been drawn up,
embodYing the above and many other col
lateral points, which has been numerously
signed by soma OF our leading Mt'sts
TheYexpress a hope that some general
European costume might be Indicated by
such a course.

We have prepared table showing the quantity
Of each article exported from this port to San
Francisco, during the year ls49. 1t is official,
having been compiled from returns made to the
Custom House. 1t is an important and interesting
extent Of the trade, and will be valuable to ship
pers in this country and to merchants IN California.
1t will be ssen by this table, that an immense
quantity of nearly every description of merchandise
has been shipped from this port and when we take
into consideration the fact that Boston Is much
more extensively engaged In this trade than New
York, and that the shipments from that port have
been nearly double those from this, we can form
pretty correct opinion of the aggregate extent OF
the trade during the year IS49.
