Great Excitement in Cincinnati Demonstration
against the Pope's Numcio.
CINCINNATI, Monday, Dec. 81, 1853. Our city is
the scenG OF a terrible excitement, caused by
threatened demonstration by an organized body of
Germans, against MIR. Bedni, who is new the guest
OF Archbishop Purcell and oficiated in the Cathe-
dral yesterday morning. A most violent anmosity
it seems is entertained toward Bedini by body of
Germans IN this city, called the Socicty of Free
men, and last evening about 500 members of this
society assembled at their hail. and, having organ
lied, marched in body 10 the vicinity of the Arch
bishops residence, with the supposed intention of
doing personal violence to the Nuncio. The Chief
OF Police, however having received an ntimation of
the movement retained the entire police force at the
watch house, which is situated opposite the Arch
bishops residence. AS the Frecmen approached
they set up dismal groan, accompanied with shout
ing and dlscordant music. When the procession was
passing the Watch-houSe, the Police at the word of
command. rushed upon it. and each arrested man.
\ general melee followed and scene ensued which
babies description. Many shots were fired and
finally fled, but were pursued by the Police and up
ward OF sixty OF their number captured and placed
in the cells of the watch-house.
The bitter animosty against the Nuncio which
led to this outbreak Is the consequence of that ndi-
viduas betrayal of the of liberty in Italy du-
ring the Revolution of 1913 Several int1amnlatory
articles have recently appeared in the German pa
pers touching that matter, in of which the fol-
lowngsentence occurs: If the Hungarian butcher,
Haynau, met with warm a reception in monarchi-
cal England, what ought the Pope's Nuncio to expect
in Republican America
The excitement is continued this morning in the
neighborhood of the watch-house, where large
crowd is collected.

LEGISLATION on SLAVERY. The Governor of Ala
bama in message to the Legislature, suggests the
enactment of law to prevent the separation OF hus-
band from wife, and parent from children, in the
sale of slaves This recommendation strikes us as
being most unwise and impolitic If slaves pro-
pcrtY then should they be at the absolute disposal
of the MASTER be subject only to such Legal
visions designed for the protection of life and
limb If the relation of master and slave be infiing
ed for one purpose, it would be difficult to fix any
limit to the enroachment. IF the STAKEHOLDER yield
one point to the demands of abolition fanaticsm he
will but emboldcn the spirit which he aims to cor
cilate and will be driven to more substantial
concession
Now, there is necessity for any such law in re-
srant of the right of the master, is suggested by
the Governor of Alabama. The suggestion implies
the prevalence of evil which does not exist to any
extent and thus does injustice to the moral senti-
ment of the slayeholding community. The proper
remedy for this for every other evil incident to-
the condition of slavery, is notto be found in COM
pnlsory legislation, butn the voluntary action ofan
enlightened sentiment Excessive cruelty to slaves.
is as rare in the South as crime of far more helm
Gus eharacter and is fatal to the social position
of the master And, in few years, the violent dis
regard of the family relations of the slave will be
quite as uncommon as the more outrageous occur
rences of physica1 cruelty and oppression. It is
unnecessary as it is perous, to tamper with the re-
laton of master and slave Riehmoad Enquirer.

Judge Clayton, of Mississippi, it is said, has left
Havana, with the view of resigning his Consulshp
though actually but few days in office. He visited
Cuba in the spring, but remained there but one day
came homo, and returned late last month for his
post (Nr. Robertson, who was left by Judge Shark
ey having been the Consul al isterim.) During
the few days of his recent residence at Havana he
lost his secretary and nephew bearing his own name
and now comes Nome with the body, and with a wish
not to return. Judge c. has discovered, no doubt,
like his predecessors, that the Consular revenue, in
stead of being 500 600 por annu, often reported,
is hardly worth $4,000, and that Havana also is
very expensive place of living. He has found out,
too, that a Consul in Cuba is recognized only
Commercial Agent, and without any diplomatic
functions whatsoever and that it is idle to complain
of this state of fact for the that the Consus
of all nations are put upon the same footing. The
custom, when complaints made to the Captain
General is to transfer them to Madrid and the short
est way to redress for Cuban outrages is via
Washington and Madrid, as all other ways all tend
to delay The Presdcntin his annual message, sug
gests remedy for this and proposes negotiations
with Spain to effect it, by having the Consus recog-
nized as Diplomatic Agents as well as Commercial
Agents The Spanish Government can very easily
clothe the Viceroy with power thus to settle all
grievances if it is disposed and it may be that
