THE FUGITIVE SLAVE Opinion
of Mr.. Criuenden.-We learn from the
Washington Republic that, while this bill
was before the President for his signature,
the question arose in his mind-"Did the
bill take away the benefit of the habeas
corpus gu If it did it was unconstitutional,
and the President would have been bound,
says the Republic, to return it to Congress
with his objections. The President conse-
quentIy referred the bill to the Attorney
General for his opinion upon this point; and
an elaborate and able opinion was given by
that officer, to the effect that s.there is no.
thing in the bill in question which conflicts
with the Constitution, or suspends, or was
intended to suspend, the privilege Of the
writ Of habeas corpus.'' This opinion is
published a. length in the Republic, the
conc luding portion of which, containing the
girls, of his argument, we copy as follows :
The condition Of one in custody as fu-
gtive slave, under this law, SO far as respects
the writ Of habeas corpus, is precisely the
same as that of all other prisoners under
the laws Of the United States. The prvi-
lege of that writ remains alike to all of them
but to be Judged of-granted or refused
discharged or enforced-by the proper ,ri-
bunal, according TO the circumstances Of
each case, and as the commitment and de-
,ention may appear to be legal or illegal.
The whole effect Of the law may be thus
briefly stated. Congress has constituted a
tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction, to de-
,ermine summarily, and without appeal, who
are fugi,ives from service or labor, under
the second section of the fourth article OF
the Constitution, and to whom such service
or labor is due. The judgment of every
tribunal of exclusive jurisdiction, where no
appeal lies, is, of necessity, conclusive upon
every other tribunal, and therefore the
| judgment Of the tribunal created by this act
is conclusive upon all tribunals. Wherever
this judgment is made to appear i, is con-
elusive of the right Of the owner TO retain
in his custody the fugitive from his service,
and to remove him back to the place or State
from which he escaped. If it is shown, up
on the application Of the fugitive for writ
of habeos corpus, ii prevents the issuing Of
the wri,-if upon the return, it discharges
the writ and restores or maintains the Gus
tcdy.
This view Of the law Of this case is fully
sustained by The decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the case OF
Tobias Watkins, where the Court refused
to discharge, upon the ground that he was
in custody under the sentence of a court of
competent jurisdiction, and that judgment
was conclusive upon them. g Pet, 202. }
The expressions used in the last clause
Of the 9Th section, that the certificate there
in alluded to "shaIl prevent all molestalion"
Of the persons TO whom granted, Shy any
process issued" Sc, probably mean only
what the act of 1898 meant, by declaring q
certificate under that act sufficient warrant
for the removal of a fugitive, and certainly
do not mean suspension Of the habeas
corpus,

The editors of the Times and GazeUe
anticipate fine displays Of Agricultural pro-
ducts a, their respective Fairs TO be held
during the ensuing week. Well, we have
40 Shows or Society down this way, but
should The good folks of Charles and Prince
Georges have any doubts as to our sgricul-
,ursl prosperity in consequence, just lei
them send down committee, and We'll
readily satisfy them that the ''big potatoes
can be grown in quiet way.-St. .Mary's
Beacon.
The farmers Of ST. Msry's may be able
30 raise "big potatoes sin quiet way )
but our word for it, if they don's hustle a.
bou! and get up an Agricultural Society
they will soon find "big potatoes but lit
lie evidence Of prosperity. The car OF
improvement is rushing forward. It's pro-
PEELED by the power Of steam, and moves
With the velocity of lightning. So, friend
Beacon, If you dom. intend to ''couple on
stand aside, and you'll certainly be behind

the luxury Of having our hair clipped and

attentive Barber the world can produce
Having fitted up new establishment at
considerable cost, he would be pleased, no
doubt, TO serve his old friends from Charles

tween his article for cleasing the hair and

To the Editor Of The Times.


DEAR SIR: l saw your paper Of the 22d inst.
yesterday, and | see error into which you have
fallen, which needs correction. You say at the
time of the fire the wind was blowing at the South
East which Fortunate &c. Now that is not
the fact. The wind had been blowing at the South
East all day, and at least until ii O'Clock that
night, and had the wind continued there, in all
human probability every house l have would have
been burned, as the Barn was on the South East
side of my other buildings. But when discovered
the fire. which was before 2 o'clock, and some mi
nutes before the roof tell in, the wind sprung out
from the North West, and took the blast from the
houses, and then could scarcely keep the corn
house and stables from catching. 1t twas fortunate
the wind changed and blew from the North. The
Goals from the fire blew more than 3 hundred yards
into a woods, and had it not been fer slight rain
which fell that evening the whole woods would
have been on fire. Respectfully, &c,
