Ben Hardin, Of KY. arrived iL this city on
his way to Santiago de Chill, where he
was to reside as Secretary ofour legation
Being unavoidabIy detained here for near
two months, he received intelligencs Of the
revocation of-his appointment, which, to
ge,her with other causes, so preyed upon
his mind, that he attempted self destruction.
For time he was frustrated In the accom-.
plishment Of his misanthropic intention;
but The utmost care Of bis friends who were
many, was unable eventually to preserve
his Gfe He disappeared from the city,
suddenly, and until within few days

of that human frame, left but the bare

The Supreme Court and the Subject Of
Slavery,

We; have no, YET received copy of tho
decision Of the u. s.. Supreme Court in the
case 10 which we advefted the other day
relative to the ordinance Of 1881. The
W Washington Union gives the following
brief outlines Of the points determined:
81. was q case Instituted in one of the
Kentucky courts at Louisville, to recover
the value Of three slaves. alleged to have
been taken away by q steamboat from the
owner, living in Kentucky. The points
of fac, noticed by the court, MIR. Chief
Justice fancy delivered the opinion) as we
caught them from the reading Of a,were
/. That the ordinance Of 1887, establishing
a government for the Northwestern Terri.
tory, SO far prohibited the exis,ance Of sla.
very, as 10 furnish defence in the case;
and 2. Tha. if these negroes was slaves be.
fore, their owner had in fact liberated them
voluntarily into Ohio to perform ns musi.
clans, and could not sue for their recovery,
or for their value. ....--- -,
"1he court below decided in favor of
the plaintiff, and the Supreme Court sus.
tanned the decision. The court held that
the ordinance OF 1857 was repealed by the
adoption Of the federal constitution, and
ceased 10 be Of force from that event, SO
far as it was changed thereby, and, further,
it held that the question OF slavery, and the
rights respectively Of the owner and the
slaves was properly cognizable by the
Stale court Of Kentucky, under her laws.
and that II would not review or disturb its
decision. Three Of the judges, as we stat.
ed dissented, but only on the ground that
the ordinance Of 1857 was not repealed by
the adoption Of the constitution so absolute.
ly as the Chief Justice in his opinion had
declared. On the subject Of slavery and
the regulation thereof none of them ex-
pressed any dissatisfaction with the views
of the majority of the court. The opinion
itself is very. clear concise and able exam.
inatioa Of the subjects involved, and will
