WE publish II letter from SAMUEL
tlUARLB directed to the Governor of
the Stae Of Massachusetts,, in relation
to thosethree negroes who were detect
ed in tlp act of abducting slaves from
their owners. The Legislature of Mas
sachusets has appointed a committee
to inquire what it would be necessary
to take for the purpose of restoring
the thrP thiels to freedom, in order to
assist this business committee in the
benevolent purpose, Mr.. QuARLEs
has informed them of the whereabouts
OF the OBJECTS Of Northern sympathy,
and PROPOSES to the committee to sell
them tolas much money as it has cost
to reclaim fugitive slave in Boston.
IL remains to be seen whether they arc
as full of sympathy for their poor
black brethren as they pretend to be,
or with dollars and cents even prove
their natural kindness for their brethren
who are in unlawful bondage.

A telegraphic despatch from Wash

A telegraphic despatch from Wash
ington, says:
The Florida interest case has been
decided by the Supreme Court. The
claimants were anxious to get the
opinion Of the Court in their favor on
the subject Of interest, and also as to
the legal authority Of tho Treasury
to pay it without all act of Congress in
addition to the acts heretofore passed:
but the Court refused, and dismissed
the appeal for want Of jurisdiction.
The Court avoided expressing any
opinion or any other question. 1t is
said the investigations have resulted in
the discovery that the claims were
never allowed as being within the
treaty Of 1910, but were given as
a gratuity, and that it will be shown TO
De so by the report of the congresson-
al committee aud the laws, and that
the Treasury will not pay the claims
without further legislation.
