A CASE OF HABEAs CoRPUs.-A man by the
name of William Childs having been charged will
obtaining goods under false pretences severa
months since, in Baltimore, requiston was ISSUED
by the Governor of Maryland upon the Governor
of Ohio for the surrender OF Childs as a fugitive
from justice, the fugitive being in Cincinnati. The
AtiGs, of that city, says:
"The Governor of this State, in compliance with
the requisition directed the sheriff of this county
to arrest Childs and deliver him over to the au.
thoritics of Maryland. Sheriff Smith deputized
Alexander Dazell TO arrest Childs, which Dalzel
did, and Immediately gave him into the hands Of
John Zell and Edmund Wise, two officers from
Maryland This Saturday afternoon. APP
plication was Immediately made to Judge Key,
through counsel, for writ of habeas corpus, re-
curing Dalzell, Zel and Wise, to show cause for
OBTAINING Childs in their custody. The writ was
granted, and hearing set for yesterday morning
in the grand jury room. 1t was there and then
shown that Childs had been delivered to the Mary
land officers illegally, Dalzell had only power
TO deliver him into the hands of the sheriff, which
was not done. The court ordered that the defend.
ant be discharged"
Childs was rcarrested, but on application OF
counsel another writ of habeas corpus was issued
on technical grounds, upon which the judge was
to render his decision on the 81 instant.

The E.c1uslon OF Negroes from Now Yorl

The Exclusion of Negroes from New York.
xlrhe New York Express, in referring to the con-
duct of the abotionsts in Syracuse, on the occa
sion of the late riot, says
at now begins to be time to agitate another
question: and that ia, the exclusion on latc of the i'm
migration of blacks into the free States, as Indiana
has already done. il every runaway negro is to
bring with him Syracuse fight, let forbid ne
groes by law from coming here. We have in this
State already prohibited them from voting unless
doubt, majority TO prohibit their entry here could
be got just as large as that which prohibited them
from voting. We cannot afford to make the free
States battle ground for runaway negroes. We
cannot afford to have repetition Of Christana and
Syracuse outragcs. We cannot afford the ill will,
the bad blood, the manning and murder, the abo-
litioniss, through the means of these runaway
negroes, get up between the North and the South.
The true remedy ia to forbid the immigration of
negroes, and to stop the entry of any more of them
into the free States AS long as the white and the
black were permitted to live peaceably together,
no such law was necessary; but, as the abolition
lists are bent upon bringing us into constant COLI
sion, and the blacks especially into collision with
the law, we must remove all causes of such COLI
sion by refusing to have any more negroes come
among us.
1.-THE fret duty of society is to itself-o protect
itself; and If strangers come into it,, bringing
nothing but the seeds Of mischief, and, per-
haps, of civil war, it is not only just, but indspen-
sadly necessary, that their coming should be pro-
hibited Society is State family, and the family
turns from its doors the neighbor who would bring
disturbance and disorder into it, 30 ought the State
family to turn from the State like elements of disor
der discord. Thus if blacks can no longer come
among us but upon the repetition of Christana and
Syracuse ecenes, they must no longer come. They
must be prohibited from entering the State. OF
course, if there no fugitves there will be no
Fugitive act to be executed here and thus the abo-
itionists will be gratifed, and we all shall be saved
from the disgrace Of treason, mobs, murder and
MAIN No village permits powder magazine to
be in the midst of it. These runaway negroes, it
seems, in some villages powder magazines,
which blow otherwise peaceable people into that
state of combustibility which makes them burn the
statute laws, and even the Federal Constitution it,
self. The best way of getting along with such
combustible neighbors is to remove the powder
magazine
