ILLrNoIs.-Several journals fall into great
mistake when they state an election Is to be held
IN this State on August 4. No election Will
take place IN Illinois before November 1897
when Presidential Electors, local and State Oh
fcers and Congressman are to be chosen. Upon
the members of the Legislature to be elected IN
1852, will devove the duty of appointing sue
cessor to Hon Stephen A. Douglass, whose term
expires in 1853
1t is now supposed that no special meeting OF
the Legislature will be held next WINTER nor
the Free Banking Law be submitted 10 the
people before the next regular State election

The CoSDEN MURDER.Rs-Pidce Of Ere

Times says
am now able to inform you where the execution
will take place. The Sheriff has obtained lot of
ground about "A mile from town on the Worton Road,
lust beyond Dr. Whaand's Mill, and the execution
will take place at lGi o'clock AN. There Is still no
change IN the prisoners for the better, and my own
impression Is that they will remain till the last
have learned that they have had "A conversation
with their counsel, and have asked the question
whether their punishment cannot be commuted to
imprsonment for life. Their counsel candlily an
swered that there was no hope for them. They still
persist III their innocence.
We learn rom gentleman, who was IN Chester
town, on Monday, and saw the criminals IN prison,
that Shelton exhibits the most callOus indifference
and utter TeckeSsness. III view OF the awful doom,
that was ever exhibited by any similarly situated

FrG,TIyr SLAVES IN CANADA AND Eng

FUGITIyE SLAVES IN CANADA AND Eng
IANp-Wm Wells Brown, formerly a slave In the
United States, addresses very sensible letter to the
London TraeS, on the condition of the Fugitive
slaves III England. He says very many of those HhO
have been compelled TO iy into Canada from perse-
cutions resulting from the late fugitive law, are
WITHOUT employment. lie estimates the number Of
fugItives III Canada at thirty thousand and As these
people, he says, are mostly without education, and
have but little knowledge OF the mechanical branch
es. they md many difficulties IN the way OF getting
EMPLOYMENT ana thereby earning for themselves an
honest living
eight months, gone TO England 10 seek employment
and encounter the same difficulties there as IN Can
ada and consequently soon become burden TO the
benevolent, or inmates of the unions" tie there
foie recommends that provision be made for sending
such of them as are willing to go 10 the West Indies
TO labor IN those Islands where slavery has been
abolished and where deficiency of labor is now ex
perlenced.
What Mr. Brown asserts IN regard TO the necess-
ties and dlstresses of his brethren in exile IS I'M
douttedly true. Their case must be the same as
that OF their masters would be, were they by harsh
and unexpected law compelled 10 take refuge on
foreign shores and in unaccuStomed chmes. But
whether the plan of sending them 10 the West Indies
promises anything efectua for their relief We doubt
The owners of estates IN the British islands Will
probaby soon learn If not yet convinced OF H. that II
is not mere hands they need so much as an improved
system OF management and asIicuiluIe, The rela-
tive density OF population IN all the West INDIA Is
lands Is tsr greater than IN any slave state anu none
of the numerous attempts TO colonZe them Win ID
borers have resulted beneicialy.
Wages, in all the British West Indies, are now
al the starving point, and would be madness for
colorod people TO go there IN quest OF labor. IT,
however they have, or can procure a little capital,
say from one TO five hundred dollars, which they can
afford 10 invest IN the soil then We should unhes-
tatingly advise them 10 seek home IN one of those
islands where the best OF land can be bought at from
fye To ten dollars an acre where five acres Will sup
,f- and where the
social and political privileges are within the reach
of all who merit them lEve. Post.
