From the Chicago Journal, June Sd.
A Fugitive Slave Case.

The city, for the past twenty-four hours, has
been the scene of considerable excitement, occa-
stoned by the arrest Of a coored man claimed as
sla 70, by an agent for the alleged master, from
the State of Mississippi.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Marshal Barker
in the discharge Of his official duty, arrested the
man named Moses Johnson, upon State street,
and conveyed him to the United States court
room, in the Saloon Building; but in conse-
quence of the prisoners not being provided with
counsel Mr.. Barkervery properly postponed the
examination until this morning at 10 o'clock.
Meanwhile the rumor of the arrest took wings,
and large number of individuals, including
many coored persons, gathered about the en-
trance to the Saloon, and much excitement pre-
vailed, il being known that the marshal had de-
cided to retain the alleged fugitive in the Saloon
Building during the night and that suitable
guard had been set over him. That several Of
the friends of the prisoner were invited to re-
main with him, is sufficient evidence Of Mr..
Barker's disposition TO do whatever might be
desired in the case consistent with the discharge
of bis official duties.
As evening approached, the crowd at the cor
ner Of Lake and Clark streets increased until the
sidewalks and considerable portion of the street
were filed. About half-past eight o'clock the
lower doors leading to the Saloon were closed,
OPEN but the officers in charge prevented il, and
no violence ensued
The Mayor and the City Marshal, together
with number Of the police. rs well as volunteers,
were present to preserve order, and indeed, the
prevailing feeling, notwithstanding the strong
sympathy on the part of many, In the prisoners
favor, seemed TO be 10 await the result OF the
legal examination this morning.
Parties Of persons, ENGAGED in eargcr con-
versation, were in the vicinity OF the building,
during tho night, and at an early hour this morn
ing the entrance to the Saloon and the sidewalks
were again filed.
The trial commenced at 10 o'clocIoths MORN
ing in the u. s. Court room, Saloon buildings,
before the Commissioner. George w. Meeker,
ESQ., 80
The alleged fugitive was brought into Court
in charge Of Deputy Marshal Barker, and Special
assistants, among whom were Messrs. George
Rankin, John A. Bross, ]. L. Marsh, John DAILY,
Henry f. Seeley S. J. Matteson.
Messrs. Freshman, +. Peck, b. s. Morris, and
w a. Windett appeared for the claimant ofthe
fugitive, and Messrs. Manerre, Larned, Freer,
and Calvin De Wolf for the fugitive.
The court room was crowded to excess, hun
dreds were unable 10 obtain admittance
Mr. Manerre, on behalf Of the defendant,
raised the question Of the jurisdiction OF the
court, and Mr.. Peck was speaking when we LEFT
the court room ~
The finale Of the matter, we are unable "a
give, as the examination was not concluded
when we went TO press.

thus complains of an evil which is rapidly in
creasing in that city, and for which it is difficult
to devise remedy:

there--as there is fund provided for that pur-

deceived by this announcement, the poor
houses in England are disgorging their inmates
on our shores-ihousands have arrived, and
thousands are coming. We have, according to
reports published this week, 1900 indoor and

gars utterly helpless, hump-backs, club-footed,
one-armed, and one-legged, sore-eyed, and sore
headed beggars and incurables from the English
almshouses. The citizens cry shame-and look
to the common council to take measures TO stop
this gross and shameful imposition on the In

jenny LIND AND BARNuM--The contract
between Barnum and Jenny Lind terminated
rather suddenly with the concert in Philadelphia,
on Monday evening. The arrangement was
dissolved at the request Of Miss Lind, who has
agreed TO pay Mr. Barnum $1,000 for the seven
remaining concerts she engaged to give in Phila-
delphia and Boston, and which she will now give
on her own account, ut the reduced prices Of 81
and 50 ticket. Besides the $1,000 To Barnum,
Miss Lind also agreed to pay the salaries. ex-
penses, &c, Of all the agents, some 80 or 35 in
number, which will amount to about $4,000
more, so that she must realize nearly 100000
over other necessary expenses out Of the seven
concerts, TO pay the amount agreed upon for
release of the contract. The seven remaining
concerts will be given in Philadelphia and Bos-
ton, though tits not improbable one may be
given In this city; after which Miss Lind will
retire TO Newport or Saratoga for few weeks,
TO recruit her health, which has been much I'm
paired by her constant singing. On leaving her
temporary retirement she viii make tour Of
the Lakes end the Canadas, and give concerts
there. We are 'essed to learn she has retained
the services OF the Germsnia Musicd Society,
who have added 90 much to the popularity Of
her nnequalled concerts Baltimore Clipper.

ELEcTroSs IN NORTH CAROLINA. The Lin

nation concerning the congressional elections
in that State, and the various candidates, who
are for Congress II will be seen that Cling
man, venable, Daniel, and Ashe. who have served
their State and section with credit and abili-
ty, are candidates for reelection:
We learn, (says the Courer,) that Burgess
g. Gather, ESQ, the Eagle-eyed" as he has
been styled, is 80 short sighted as to oppose
Mr.. Clingman for Congress, in the Mountain
district. We would like to send our paper TO
800 responsible persons in that district to be
paid for when Mr. G. is elected, If that number
can be found 10 oppose him.
Mr.. Caldwell has no opposition in the second
district. lie is stnunch Wing, but NJ he can
do no great deal Of harm, we do not think IL
necessary to cry our eyes out If he should lie
elected without opposition.
In our own district, we will have regular

In the fourth, ]. NJ. Morehead, and Gen.
Leach, dispute the empty honor. Either of
these are good enough representatives Of Tory

In the sixth, we have Gen. Daniel; the
seventh, VIM. s. Ashe.
In the eighth, Stsnly has fled ingloriously,
and w. III. Washington, is now the candidate.
W.. hope a lane will be cut through the ranks
bf the Wing party this time, as the old farmer

In the ninth, Outlaw is a candidate but we are
Lfraid there is no chance to outlaw him--there-
