A SLAVE HUNTER FoHED.--About two years
since, stout stalwart negro, who, for several
years previous had been claimed by resident
of certain town in Virginia as his property, es-
capped from his master, and came to this city,
He stated his case to several colored citizens,
and had no trouble in finding true friends. A
day or two since, the Virginian who claimed the
runaway, flesh and blood, as his property, arrived
in this city in pursuit of the negro, and the fact
soon became known to one or two of those who
are determined to stay away or die" they CON-
municated the circumstance to certain members
of the ''viglance committee" appointed at the
late meeting in Faneuil Hall. Measures were
promptly taken, first to see that the property
was safe, and secondly, to ascertain the truth Of
the rumor that the ''hunter" was in the CITY,
The facts Of his presence among US, and his mis-
sion being ascertained beyond doubt, the negro
was quietly conreyed out of the city, and more
than twenty -four hours have now elapsed since
he was beyond the reach of his former master.
Thus has quietly ended the first Fugitive slave
case" in Boston

We have seen letter from an intelligent

in which the writer gives the most cheering ac-
counts of the cause of Southern Rights in that
region. The writer, who has been in public
life for many years, is a very competent judge

The Havana correspondent Of the New York
Sun says that, as he has'see in several papers
published in the North, that Americans enjoy
the same privileges as heretofore, he feels bound
to correct the mistake. An American, if he is
known as such, cannot pass through the streets
who threatened his life with a drawn SABRE

unanimously that the soldier first insulted the
Californian, and that the latter drew the pistol
only in self-defence.

From the Mobile Herald and Tribune

TO show how a demagogue can appeal to the
passions of the public when he requires SERVICE
we copy the following from our Free-so neigh
Dor. 1t would be STOPPING too low to reply to
such baseness:
For WHOM WAS THE SNEER INTENDED F.
The organ which grinds out disunion tunes in
this city, gave notice of the Barbecue and Chow
der dinner, in which occurs the following sem
tences:
"There werc good many people at the
tables, who mainly looked as if they had no reco-
lection Of having eaten II good meal any time
these twelve months. J" :
Working men, do you hear that! This is the
sneering kind Of notice the organ of the
C,hirahy gives Of the personal appearance Of
those who make their living by honest labor.
Unless IL man wears suit of black clcth, stand
up collar, gold shirt-studs and fob.chain, white
kids, with boots and hat to suit, he is not enti.
tied to respectable notice even from the aris
tocralic Chivalry party in the city; particularly
if he don't follow their lead in politics. There
uas a right smart sprinkling OF the check-shir
boys present atthc Barbecue and Chowdcr din
ner-they thought MS freeInen they had right
to be there and they think so still. Whore the
stars and stripes" float in the breeze, they may
always be looked for. But because they wear
check-shirts, and some of them appeared in their
shirt sleeves, they are sneeringly told by the
organ of all the Chiualry hereab Juts, that they
" looked us if they had no recollection of having
eaten Il good meal any time these twelve
months" Wonder if one of the editors ever
looked in glass! But the "Heralt" may be
assured that the check shirt boys work for their
living and the support of their families and that
they have eaten good many good meals during
the past year-and, also, that they will recolect
their friends. A LABoRER."
This is published fortnight after the occa-
sion. Is any man among the check shirts" boys
so stupid as not to see its motives and are they
so fit to be the dupes and tools as to allow it to
control them! We trust not. We have too
much respect for their independence and virtue

Agitators.

The New York Tribune calls the party in that
city for upholding the Fugitive law--agitators.
This is almost as bad as for those who have by

call us agitators---for attempting to restore it. 81

DEATH OF JUDGE GANTT-We learn with
regret; that this venerable and retired public SER
want died ut his farm, near Grcenville, in this
State, on. the 18th instant. The Honorable
Richard CAN'T was a native of Prince George,
Maryland, and migrated to this State, in early
life, shortly after he was admitted to the bar
He was distinguished for persuasive and pa
thetic eloquence, and was eminently successful
in defence of the accused or injured, especially
when victims Of calunlny or injustice; and he
won both the honors and emoluments of his
profession. In 1905, he was elected Clerk Of
the House Of Representatives of this State, and
held that Office until December Id, 1915, when
he was elevated to the superior law bench of
the State, and wore the judicial ermine unsuled,
for the protracted period Of 26 years. Under
the organization Of 1886, he became President
Of the law Court Of Appeals, and in November,
1871, increasing years and infirmities induced
him to resign his seat. His resignation was fol-
lowed by the most honorable tributes from the
Legislature and the Bar; and the former body
voted him a years salary of $4,000 in advance,
'as testimonial Of their regard for his person
and their estimate of his long and faithful ser
vices" Upon his retirement from office, he
lived like patriarch, on his farm, in the midst
of his progency Of the first, second and third
generation. He was born on the I'd August,
l767, and attained his 83d year on the I'd Au-
gust last. His life was one of virtue usefulness
and honor; and, like shock of corn, full ripe,
he has been gathered into the harvest Of the
Lord Charleston rs. o. Mercury.

ARRryAL OF THE CHEROKEE.

Tho Cherokee brings dates from San Francisco
to the LIST of May, and over ono million dollars
worth ofgold dust.
The Alta Californian states that since the first
Of March last the steamers have departed for the
Atlantic cities, with over three and halt million
dollars worth Of gold dust.
1t was estimated that about six thousand persons
were at the Middle Fork OF the American waiting
for the water to subside, SO that they could COM
mence operations
At Pleasureville the whole town was dug over
and il proved to be excellent dggngs, especially
along the creek near the town, the gold was very
plenty. On Gold run creek, one man sold his
claim to $50 feet along the stream, for the sum OF
$4,000, others sold at corresponding prices.
The Legislature had adjourned after passing
1873 acts and II joint resolutions. The whole
country is camorous for annexation.
Trade has assumed more lively aspect, though

Great excitement prevails at Panama. The
officers Of the Echo had colored boy arrested for
robbery the natives interfered and released the
boy. The next day he was e-arrested, when a
regular fight took place, in which Mr. Lempler of
New York was killed. Five of the natives were
shot. The Americans finally turned out in full
strength, and it was only by great exertons Of
the Governor and American Consul, that resu-
lar and bloody conflict was prevented.

BY Lieutenant of Artillery, with the purpose
Of assassination His arm is greatly swollen from

was so great that he had been unable to sleep for
several nights. It is feared that modification may

LATEST FROM HAVANA,

Captain TatnaIl and Purser Jones, of the
steamer-ot-war Saranac arrived in Washington
on Wednesday morning, via Baltimore from
Norfolk, where the Saranac arrived on Sunday
evennn-havng left Havana on Wednesday
last Captain I. Isays the Union brings des-
patches from onr consul Campbell. They con-
tradict many of the false runors which have
been SO rife for few days in this city. Neither
the Saranac nor the Albany, nor any other YES
sci of war of the United States, met the Spanish
fripate which had the Contoy prisoners on board.
These prisoners had been landed at Havana,
where the Governor General had promised to
treat them wel until a negotiation with our
own government would determine their desti-
nation 1t was expected that they would be re-
turned to the United States, for the purpose OF
undergoing an investigation in our own courts.
Evidence has been collected from the soldiers
at Kew West, that these Contoy men had not
faithfully performed their duty to the expedition
and We're preparing to return to the w. States
without landing in Cuba. As to the report that
the Saranac had offered ilset to the use and con-
troll of the Spanish Captain General, every officer
is indignant at its circulation. 1t Is without
shadow of foundation.
We understand that or Of the Cardenas
prisoners had been executed--the Spanish au-
thorities making broad distinction between
them and the prisoners taken at Contoy Capt.
Tratnall had an interview with the Captain Gen;
CONSUL Campbell being present. which ended
it is said; to the satisfaction of all parties Our
consul Of course, had not been ilnprisoned.-,-
The aptain General had not been civil enough
to open the letter which had been previously
addressed to him by the consul, as he did not
consider our consul to be charged with dlplo-
matte powers. The Count DAlvoy is repre-
sened to have the manners OF an old Cast!lian
gentleman, but stern and even cruel in the exc
cution of his duty. Present appearances do not
Justify any speculation of war, or perhaps serious
disturbances between the u States and Cuba,
e. The Washington Republic announces the
danger of a rupture between the two govern
ments as over--the prisoners taken at Contoy
would be released, while it appears that the
Consul had not been imprisoned, and he had
been permitted to visit the prisoners.
