"SLAvE CASE IN CLEvELAND-Miss Minor, a
resident of Louisiana, is travelling east, accom-
panied by her slave Mary. While in Cleveland
asst week, writ of habeas corpus granted by
Judge Atkins, directing her to show cause why she
detained or restrained the liberty of her servant.
She refused to appear or answer, and the court
discharged Mary, saying she was at liberty to go
where she pleased. The servant said she had
oeen kindly treated, and returned to her mistress
This did not please the colored people, who were
determined to force freedom upon her, whether she
willing or not, and for that purpose caught
hold of her clothing she went on board the
boat. An officer in,erposed, and she was permitted
to accompany her mistress without further molesta-
ton. Miss Minor, it is said, is willing to free her
servant whenever the latter chooses to leave her
The above we find in the New York Tribune,
without credit comment. The acting Editor OF
the Tribune has not the manliness to denounce
these outrages on Southern lady, from whom the
black hearted villains of Cleveland tried to steal
a devotedy attached servant, whose only happi.
ness to administer to the comforts of her mis-.
tress. The Tribune Editors attachment to the
negro race is strong, that even white lady, al
a distance from home, may be mobbed by abolition
thieves, and his sense of decency has not keenness
enough to be offended. Shame

SANTA FE MAIL.--The Occidental Messenger,

val there of the Santa Fe mail of LIST May, pays
compliment to the present admirable management
of the mail on that route For year, it has no,

scribed time. The Messenger says that when the
frequent inclemency of the weather, the country
through which the mail passes, and the regularity
of its arrivals are considered striking contrast
with the mails to and from 81 Louis, which fail
every few days, is presented.

FALL OF BUILDINGS IN ST. LoUIs.-The ST..
Louis Inegencer of the 9th instant, says that, on
the previous night, the stone columns in the cellar
of the four story fire proof building No. % Levee,
between Olive and Pine streets, gave way, precip,
itatng the floors from the roof TO the basement
into the cellar, and rendering the interior of the
building perfect wreck. The columns support
ing the first floor, which were but poorly con-
sirueted, had been weakened by the water in the
cellar, and even as early yesterday gave signs OF
giving way under the weight they supported. The
building was occupied by Messrs. Squires & Reed,
iron merchants, and Carson Il Duane, produce
dealers, in the second story. At the time of the
accident, Mr.. Carson was seated in his office, and
barely escaped by the front door, when the whole
interior of the building came down with a fearful
crash Peyton Randolph, young man in the
employ of Squires g. Reed, had even a more mar.
row escape. He was engaged with customer on
the first floor, and being warned of his perilous
situation by the rafting of the iron overhead he
first started for the front door, but the front part of
the floors falling first, he fled to the back of the
store, and after some time was taken from the
basement on Commercial street, covered with dust,
but fortunately only slightly injured The Gus.
toner made the front door safely, under shower
of tmbers and bar iron.

A London paper notices exceedingly curious
groups of stuffed animals exhibited at the Worlds
Fair by a German. They consist of series of
tableaux, in which the animals either portray
scene from nature, illustrate some well-known
fable. There is a learned pundt of fox reading
book, and looking wise lord chancellor ;
there is love scene on sofa, at which one can

PENNSYLVANIA. - The nominations for Gov
and Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania,
never before caused such widespread and violent
excitement, during the preparations for the con-
vention at Reading in that State, in the beginning
of this month. The editor Of the Pennsylvania
Statesman, in letter to his paper, says that some
idea of the influx of people into Reading may be
gathered from the fact that, notwithstanding the
unbounded hospitality of the citizens, and that
every hotel was crowded, from cellar to ceiling,
hundreds of ardent politicians had to wander about
the streets all night for want of lodging. These
night wanderers, perhaps, had elbow room in their
peregrnations which would be something new to
them, as the editor of the Statesman says that the
immense crowds rendered the streets totally i'm
passabs during the day

SENATORIAL ELECTION IN CoNNECTIcUT.-
We furnished, some days ago, the balotings as
ceived by telegraph and the adjournment of farther
balotngs till yesterday, 18th inst. We now have
some particulars. The number of wings who
voted in the ballotings of the h inst. was larger
than the number of democrats, yet Seymour, the
democratic candidate. had larger vote than Roger
Baldwin, the free.soiler, who opposed him as a
wing. The wings generally voted with their party
candidate, although, we trust that ere this, they
have repented of it; but dozen or fifteen wings
refused to vote for an abolition free soil candi
date. They cannot be influenced to vote for Bald
win, and the wings now talk of another cand-
date. James Dixon is named, and also Judge
Storrs whose opinions on free-soil are not known.
The wings have the Senate, and the democrats
cannot elect any one 1t is probable there will be
no choice this year.
