The FrG1TWE SLAVE LAw.-The Nerport Ar
gas says it is curious fact that not solitary fu-
gitve" has been returned to slavery under the new
law, and only three arrests have been made. One
would suppose by reading some Of the papers,
that there was three "saYe-oatchers' TO every
negro in the free states,
II The above "curious fact happens
to be no fact at all. James Hamlet was
returned to Slavery" from this city under
that same law. He was afterwards bought
out of Slavery, but that had nothing to do
with the law. Several have been returned
to slavery from Harrisburg, Pa. and are still
in slavery; and so, we presume, in other
cases.

conds most of our suggestions respecting News.
paper Postage dssents from one Of them as fol-
lows
There is one suggestion of Tie Tribune which
we are sorry to see for it seems to be aimed at
the country press, and that is TO charge newspa-
per exchanges with postage. 1t would amount
to direct tax upon the publisher, which he could
not afford. A publisher is expected, and for the
benefit of bis readers he ought to, exchange with
papers which would bring the current news from
oil parts Of the country. He cannot DO this If he
must pay postage on them
We really cannot see why, il this argument
is good at ALL it is not as good for Tavern Keep
ers as for Editors. Tavern Keepers are expected
to take newspapers for public use-a good Hotel
must take large number-and we suspect many
others agree with is in esteeming files of several
leading journals, well kept and full and fresh
possible, among the most unequiyocaI signs Of
good Hotel Now if you will abolish the postage
and let all papers to Hotels go free through the
Mails, we have no doubt that they would take a
great many more than they now do, and thus &C
commodate the public far better than al present
Why not
-Letus be understood. We desire no abolition
of the present system of Free Exchanges between
Journals, but we do want to see the end of the ut
terly abominable system Of Congressional Frank
ing, which now chokes the Mails aud beggars the
Post Office Revenue. Well when we put in
word for this some pettifogger for inequality and
injustice is apt to reply, " no you don't receive
a cart oad per month of Exchange Papers free
of Postage, do you Yes, Sir, we do; but we
shall very gladly pay Postage on all we receive il
we may thereby secure the Abolition Of Frauking
and consequent Reduction Of Postage in Mail
