COMMANDER MCCLURE.

This enterprising British officer has immor-
talzed himself by his successful efforts to prove
that there is a northwest passage to the East
Indies, by way of the Arctic Seas and Behring's
Straits. IL he should continue fortunate, and
in due time return safely to England, he will
undoubtedly find honors and rewards showered
thckiy upon him.
This bold navigator is comparatively young
man, but has prosecuted his labors with de-
gree Of enthusiasm seldom surpassed He war
the first lieutenant of Sir James Ross's ship
Enterprise, in the first searching expedition for
Sir John Franklin, and was promoted for that
service. He then volunteered for the second
expedition, by way of Behring's Straits, and
proceeded thither in company with Capt Col
l'nson, OF the Enterprise, at the beginning Of
1880. Capt Collinson, however, parted com
pany with Commander Mcclure, and bore up
fox Hong Kong for the first winter; but Mr..
Mcclure stood on towards the northwest FIR
winter quarters and the last we heard of him,
before the present season, WAS in Behring's
Straits whore Capt. Kelett in the Herald, ar
rived just in time to see him dashing on towards
the ice. Capt KelIett then deemed it advisable
to recall the Commander, and made the signal
accordingly; but Mcclure parted from his senior
officer with the Nelsonian reply also by signal:
Cant stay! Own responsibility That was
the last communication that took place with
the Investigator on the Behring's Straits side
Of the North Pole.
In connection with this subject perhaps the
most singular fact is, that having parted with
Capt Kellett in this manner and in such q To-
cality, this very Commander Mcclure and this
very Captain ReiIstt should meet on the next
occasion on the other side ef, <he pole in fact,
that Captain Kellet should be the very man to
rescue Mcclure and his brave fellows from
starvation, and give him the helping hand TO
accomplish that almost superhumsn enterprise
which he forbade him from undertaking. Cap
tain Kellett became aware Of tho position Of the

That its existence is greatly detrimental to

them. We therefore earnestly invite our brcth-

The Last Dodge.

The business of interfering against the
due execution Of the fugitive slave law
seems at length to have been resigned by
both Wings and Democrats of the North,
into the hands ofthe Aboltionists proper
and their northern colored brethren only.
The consequence is, that though terri
bic hubbub will arise as each alleged fu-
gitive slave may hereafter be arrested,
unless there be sound legal objections to
his surrender, he will surely be returned
to his owner, Notwithstanding the adroit
trick to which the Abolitionists now en-
deavor to resort, to defeat the operation
of the law. That is: OH getting wind of
the fact that parties are preparing to ar
rest the runaway, they cause him to COM
init some petty offence against the State
laws, and forthwith proceed to have him
arrested by State officers for it, so that
the United States may find him in the
custody of the rival jurisdiction. This
game was last essayed to be played in the
recent NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. As
usual with parties endeayoring to over
reach others in a very great hurry, in this
case they overreached themselves not
making their arrest On such testimony
and in such manner as to justify the State
authorities in refusing to giveupthc pris-
Oner to the United States authorities. We
take it for granted that, in future, no such
bogus transaction will triumph before
any State court for it is only when pop
ular opinion oyerrides the law, that it
can be thus defeated-and popular opin-
ion has now apparently, everywhere set
tied down by an iIimcilsc MATURITY I'll ID
vor Of the due and strict enforcement of
this particular statute, as of all others.
