! Jennings Estate.

From developments recently made, and
evidence lately obtained, there remains no
boubt that the heir to this immense estate
Of $30,000,00O is Hector Jennings, of
Ohio, and measures are now being taken
to substantiate his claim, and put him in
possession of the money. His agents on
both sides Of the Atlantic have been untir-
ing in their efforts to obtain the requisite
proof of his heirship.
1t appears that William Jennings, who
diedin 1898, intestate, leaving this proper
ty, was bachelor, and the only child Of
Robetr and Ann Jennings He having
neither borther nor sister, no descendants
Of his father Robert could course be found
to inherit his estate; consequently the
agents of Hector rcsorted to the descend
ants ofRobert's brother and sisters for the
heirs. They found, upon examination Of
the records, that John Jennings, a brother
of Robert, was married to Elizabeth Fisher
in 1905; that among the issue of that mar
riage, was one Jonathan Jennings, who
married Mary Gardiner in 1928; that their
eldest child, Jonathan, jr., married Ann
Plume in 1854; that their son William,
born in 1859, came to America in 1880,
and settled in Carlisle, Cumberland coun-
ty, Pa, where he lost his first wife, and in
1901 he married Lucy Loop, the only issue
of that union being Jesse Jennings, who
died in 1845, and the present heir, Hector
Jennings, who now resides at Sandusky,
Ohio, and with the children OF Jesse is the.
only known heir to the large fortune
The Courts of England, under late Parli-
amentary enaetments, are compelled to
decide and settle these claims within one
year; consequently, it seems that this vast
estate must pass to the heirs within a few
months, unless some unforeseen occurrence
should transpire to prevent.
John B. Bacon, Of Penn Yam, New
York. is the efficient agent on this side the
water, to whose'indefatigable exertions the
heirs are Indebted for the present favor
able position of their claim. 1t is said
there are other claimants in Virginia, who
are descended from another brother of the
intestate's father, but OF this we have no
personal knowledge. Itwill be seen from
the above statemant that William, the in
testate, was never married, and conse-
quentlv the claims of the Corbins, john
sons, Balls, and others, through his wife,
vanish into air
We congratulate Mr.. Jennings upon his
hope of success, as he is said to be very
worthy and deserving man.

The siaye TFade.

nc U AsFE10es
Experience has demonstrated the utter
liability Of the squadron GA the coast Of
Africa to suppress the slave trade. The
statistics show an increase ef the traffic
since the three powers, England, France,
and the United States, under the treaty
for the purpose, commenced their united
efforts to ssslish i. The matter has been
ia.syy u2der INVESTIGATION in the British
Haass os ComnoSs, beforea special com
mlfeee. Sir CrsAaEs HoLruAM, a. dist
guished British naval officer, who com
manded several yearsin the Africaa squad
ron, gave very decided testimony against
the efficiency of the present system, and
declared that the extent of the slave trade
was regulated, even now, by the com
tnercial demand, rather than by the pow
eT Of the African squadron. It's, accor-
dingly, contemplated by our own goyern-
Inent, to Withdraw our portion Of the
squadron, and place it in a mere adFan-
tageous field Of operations,
Now, when it is borne in mind, that
since l643 the exploration of slaves has
steadily increased from Africa and that
Cuba has been the destination Of large
portion of this trade, what shall we say Of
the policy Of England, that prefers the ex-
istence Of the traffic to its total destruc-
ton, By the annexation of the island to
the United States Could there be a
more palpable display Of ofinsincerity?
It IS to be hoped that cur Government
viii turn its attention to abolishirg the
slave trade, by destroying the market
If there is ne port iato which slaves can
enter, there will be no person found to en-
gage III the trade. And if England pre-
fers the continuation Of such ports on the
island Of Cuba, to their total annihilation
by being purchased by our Government,
it is time her duplicity should be fully un-
derstood,
We have at homea great many persons
who look at this same Cuban question
through English spectacles. They care
little whether slavery exists on the island
or not, and just as little whether it still
continues to afford market for the slave
trade. But propose the annexation oi
Cuba, and the consequent annihilation Of
the traffic and these jealous philanthropy
lists are incensed at the aggressive spiri
Of the South. There is nothing nationa
about such men, No wonder they wisl
to dispense with celebrations on the 4tl

The rreaty--s.oI. Benton.

A letter fFom Washington to the Balti.
mere ,S4n saks ofthe debate on the
bill to appropriate $4,000, 900 to carry
out the new treaty With Mexico:
Col. Benton opead his artillery On the
Mexican treaty, trying to show thas;t was
unconstitutional, that the privileges Of the
Houseshad been invaded, and that the ap-
preparation Of ten millions asked by the
R4kident should be withheld.
Ss @ai NEE points Of order we're raised,
Sich chweesdsposed of with remarkable
clearhsss and perspicuity Mr, Disney, who
was very iudiciously selected to ocupy
the chair during this highly interesting
and important debate,
Col. Benton weakened his argument by
Juggling in has own railroad 10 the Pacific,
showing its superiority oser that which was
afforded by the territory newly acquired
lrom M&ico, He, at least, pelnaitted the
House to question the soundness of his
logic in a matter in which personal feelings
we're 50 powerfully enlisted
Judge Bayly answered Col Benton in
mastery, statesnanlike argument on the
constitutionality ofthe treaty; showing that
the Presidentapd the Senate had eaee act
ed within the limits of their constitutional
authority, aud that though the House has
right to refuse the appropriation, it is
only qualified to do SO wnen a case of
reasonable neglect or national wrong on
the part of the treaty-making power is
clearly made out and established. No
such Charge can be broughtin this instance,
and none, indeed is intended to be estab-
lished,
Judge Bayly paid high compliment to
the talent and energy Of the .'.Senotor,' .
butalluded inIthe kindest and most gentle
manly manner to the possibility of his
Judgment being warped in matters in which
his heart bears SO conspicuous part as in
his own dear bantling-the middle route
to the Pacific. He even limited at the
possibility of Col, Benton's finding the ap-
preparation quite constitutional were it
made for any other route than the South
ern one.
