FROM ALFRED HENNEN, ESQ, OF THE
NEW ORLEANS BAR.

Nessrs LITTLE & BRowN: Gcntlemen-I am
much pleased to learn that you are engaged in
publishing a revised edition of Strahan's transla-
ton of DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW. No work in
the English language, on the same subject, is to be
compared with il, for the fulness and correctness
Of the doctrine conveyed throughout it.
Erom the time of its publication, up to the pre-
sent, it has received the appreciation of the most
learned men and lawyers in every country, and
very deservedly. The compilers of the Code Ma
poleon drew copiously from it for their work. Ma
poleon himself studied it most carefully in early
life which may account for the singular acutenesa
and wisdom of his observations and decisions, dur
ing the discussions on the adoption of his code.
Domat should, and hope will be, found in the Ii
brary of every American lawyer.
Your obedient servant, ALFRED HENNEN.

The neutrality-suspicious..

We invite the attention of our readers to the
significant summary:
GOVERNOR.
In 1913 towns, (all but Il in the Stato) the
vote for Governor is as foows
WILLIAMS, (whig) 20,O67, RedGcid, free
Soil 1896, Robinson Qoco) 5,43l. WILL
IAMS'S majority over all is THIRTEEN
II Z NDRED and EIGHTY, or about
200 less than it was in the same towns,
last year. If the remaining AZ towns do as
well as they did in 1850, Governor WILLIAMS
ma iority will be over ONE THOUSAND. 1t
can hardly be less, and we will wager a hat
with any dsconsoate Freesoilcr who may be
in want Of such an appcndage, that Governor
Williams clear majority is not less than 1000
LEGIsLATURE.
In 231 towns (all but 81 the REPRESENTA-
TIvEs elect are: Wings ia, Locos %, Free
Soiers 6l,-leaving clean wing majority Of
"a, which will be reduced to lS or 20 by the
remaining returns.
Wing SENATORS are elected in Bennington
(2( Windham, (3, Windsor, (4l, Rutland
! (3) Addison, ~, Chlttenden, (2( Franklin
81, Essex, y and Orleans, ~. The wing ma
Jority in Joint Ballot can not be less thar
rs in the House, l2 in the senate) THIRTY
which is enough ".tor all practical purposes .
The majority for Governor WILLIAMS
last year, was 1859, and it cannot be reduced
by General Apathy, nor by any other Militia
Officer, below 1000, this year. Considerin!
al things, this is doing GLoRIousLY WELL
If the Rutland Wing, the Middlebury Register
and the Windsor journal had let Mr. Uebs'c
alone,a and not unnecessarily agitated themsclve
; about the Habeas Corpus Act (Which is Ger
} tainy constitutional till decided to be uncon
stitutional, and as certainly credltable to Tn
Just and humane sentiment of the State Gov
ernor WILLIAMS would have been reelected
by 1850 majority. We feel no disposition t.
complain, however We arc too well salts
I fed with the result.

The FUGlrIvE SLAVE LAw.-The beau
ties of this humane statute, which, in the orln-
ion of many great and grave men, forms the
keystone of the American Union, are being
daily developed.
Some time since, JONI BoLDiNG was arrest
ed in Poughkecpsie, N. Y, as fugitive from
Kentucky. After long dalay on account Of
the illness of the Commissioner, a certificate
was granted to the claimant. But Boiling was
not destined to further slavery. A few phllan-
thropc mon in New York raised the sum Of
$4,000, and pictured his ransom. His rapa-
cious master first proposed to accept OF Sl,12O
in lieu of human being. But finding that
that amount would be ut once contributed, he
rasied the price Of body, mimi and soul to the
first named sum. BoLpiNG had carried on the
tailoring business i'll Poughkecpsie (where he
had married and lived respec ably for ioul
years.
Daniel DAVIS, arrested in Buffalo and con
signed to his master by the Commissioner
was brought before Judge Conklin Of the U
S. District Court, and discharged He left i'm
mediately for Canada, the grand Asylum TO
the oppressed of our own country.
This decision of Judge Conklin is justly ex
citing a good deal of interest in all quarters
The length of Judge C.'s opinion forblds it
publication in our columns. 1t is a very able
one, and is well fortified by argument and au
thorities. The points decided are: list, Tina
the provisions of the 10th Section of the Act
relative to the taking of erpurte testimony l
the State whence the fugitive has escaped, ar
not retro -actire, and, therefore, only apply t
, cases where the escape has been made sine
the passage Of the act, Sept 18th, 1850. y
; That the evidence in the present case was NJ
properly taken by the Kentucky Court, It ha
: ing omitted to require the personal attendanc
. of the witnesses, although they are describe
, as residents of the place where the court W;
, located.

The II. Y. Tribune contains long and de-
tailed account of the disastrous termination Of
the late piratical invasion Of Cuba, the whole
of which we should be glad to copy, if our lin
tied columns would permit. We give below,
however, the differences or "facts" which the
Tribune deduces from the authentic details of
"the progress and termination Of the Lopez in
vasion of Cuba" and unhesitatingly believe
that they present true synopsis of the whole
matter. We commend the Tribue's conclu-
sons to the consideration of our readers. They
are as follows:-
The Cuban Tragedy.
The full official accounts of the progress and
termination of the Lopez INVASION OF CUBA
which we publish to-day establish beyond cavll
the following facts:
l. That the bodies of the prisoners shot at
! Havana with Crlttcndcn and Kerr were not
mutilatcd nor otherwise maltreated, and the
ST, rv that they had been was fabricated to eX-
cite Indignation and procure relniorcements IN
this country;
=. That tue invaders achieved no important
success at any time, beyond the killing of Gen.
Emma and the consequent repulse Of the detach-
ment led by him;
3. That they killed no 1900, 1000, nor even
200 Of the Spanards:
| 4. That they at no time were able to act or
the offensive, but fought for their lives from the
first, and were at length surprised and utterly
l routed;
5. That though they were landed in the very
quarter of Cuba Where Lopez was most llkely
to obtain aid, yet they received none of am
