I4enanao Slave Cnse.

Governor JOHNSON, in special Message to the
Virginia Legislature, has communicated an official
copy of the record and proceedings in the case re-
Gently decidedsin New York before Judge PAINE,
declaring the freedom of the slaves which Mr..
LENNON, of Virginia, was removing to Texas,
through New York City.
The message states that an appeal has been ia
ken from the decision Of Judge PAINE, to the Su-
preme Court of New York, but from the fact that
Mr.. LENNON received full remuneration for the
loss Of his slaves by the contributions Of citizens Of
New York, and bound himself to set them frss
oven if the Supreme Court reversed the decision,
it appears that there is no one Immediately inter
ested in prosecuting this appeal, and Gov. JOHN
SON thereupon recommends that the Legislature
make provision for that purpose, and for the eff
cient prosecution of such other judicial proceeding
as may be necessary for satisfactory adjudication
of the questions involved, so important to alsave-
holders.
In the Senate, on Wednesday last the Message
and accompanying documents relating to the sub
joct were referred by resolution to the COMMITTEES
for Courts of Justice fer report thereon.

PUBLIC CoNrRAcTs.-A rumor having obtained
currency, through some of the correspondents Of
distant newspapers, that the Secretary of the lnts-
rior had declined letting out contracts for work to
be done under his supervision, and had referred
applicants to the two committees of Congress, we
have inquired in the proper quarters as to the truth
of the report and have ascerained that it is with
out the slightest foundation, The Secretary has
not only made no such decision, but he has not e.
ven had occasion to consider the question. He
will continue to discharge every duty imposed on
him by law 50 long as he remains in office

GENERAL PIERcE's CABINET.-The Concord
New Hampshire Patriot, published in the i'm

and edited bya gentleman on whom he has re-
Gently conferred mark of personal favor and con-
fidence, has an article on the construction of the
new Cabinet which bears internal evidence of au-

tcular parties upon General Piorco's attention,
will provo i2etfoctual; the President elect having
it says-a full sense of his responsibility, and
a full determination to judge for himself in regard
to the men who shall be called to his council.
The States are reminded that all cannot be repre-
sented in the Cabinet, and that the supposed
claims OF sections or persons must yield to other
considerations. On two other important points
the Patriot speaks with great explicitness. tide
clares that no man will be prescribed because he
has in past times belonged to particular sections Of
the Democratic party and that the circumstance
Of having belonged to a previous Democratic Ad-
ministratian will not be reason for accepting or

CUBA AND FILLIBUsrERING.-It appears from
the proceedings of the Senate, (says the Richmond
Wig that we are to have tho views of the
Democracy on these points Mr.. Mason and Gen.
Cass have opened the ball. After all the denun-
Citations of Mr.. Fillmore, these Democratic lions
roar very gently. We had supposed from what
the Locofoco press said, that urgent cause of war
existed, and that if the Locos had their way, they
would fall upon Cuba in a twinkling. If we I'M
derstand these big guns, they do not propose war,
and there is nothing in Mr. Fillmore's course they
can condemn. They both denounce Fillbustering,
and declare that good faith must be preserved to-
wards Spain. This is what Mr. Fillmore has
done-neither more nor less. He has enforced
the law, as it was his sworn duty to do, against
expeditions from our territories, and he has acted
in good faith towards Spain.
But, says Mr.. Mason, she has delayed the ac-
QUESTION Of Cuba" How? He has only done
what Mr. Mason says he should have done. The
mere expression of the opinion, that the acquis-
ton at this time would be injurious, could have no
such effect
We rather think that after all the buster me
Fire eaters have made, their present exhibit is
decidedly shabby. When, consistent with ma
onal honor and good faith annexation shall become
necessary, then we will annex says Mr.. Mason.
OF course, we will. Nobody ever doubted that |!
