Mr.. Ericon expressed Willingness to
obey the writ, and promised to be at the
court house the next morning, at 10
o'clock. with his two servants. At the
appointed hour he appeared. accompanied
as he proposed. The servants were ques.
toned. They stated that their master
(Mr. Ericon) had manumitied them at
New Orleans some time since-that they
were now on their way with him to Eu.
rope-that they had no desire to leave
him. and wished to be permitted to 90
on without interruption. Ofcourse Mr..
Ericon was Immediately discharged.
The abolitionisis were incensed that the
Sheriff should have left him upon his pa

fearful were they that he might escape
with his servants that they watched the
hotel all through the dark hours.

The New Liquor Law.

The following is published in the papers OF
the interior, as the opinion of Attorney Gener-
al FRANKLIN, in reference to the operation of
the recently enacted liquor law. 1t conflicts
with the Interpretation of the law by many of
the Courts, but is nevertheless worthy of atten-
ton as coming from the legal adviser of the
Executive =
" Although the l4th Section of the act of
April 18th, 1855, entitled I" An Act to restrain
the sale of Intoxicating liquors." declares that
no license granted between the date of the act
and the first of July next, shall authorize the
retailing of liquors by inukeepers after the first
day of October next, yet the act does not pro-
vide for any apportionment of the price of Ii
cense for less period than one year and inn
keepers whose license have been granted since
the date of the act, must therefore pay the
price of whole years license, to enable them
to continue their business until the first day
Of October next, at which time all such IL
cense will expire by the express terms of the
law
After the first day of July next, no licenses
for the sale of liquors can be granted or issued
in any other manner than that provided by the
act. Until the first of July next, | am of
opinion that the County Treasurer may issue
licenses as heretofore. The applicants in such
cases must pay the prices now fixed by law for
the whole year; and the mercantile appraisers
must must make their returns for the present
year as usual !; there being no cange made in
their duties by the act, nor any provision for
an appointment by them.

Decision by the State Superintendent.

We are obliged to Mr. HICKoK for his kind
ness in forwarding to US copy of the School
Journal, containing the following recent deciS-
ions from the State Superintendent =
NoN-REsIDENrs NOT TO BE DIRECTORS
person can serve as Director who does no re-
side in the District for which he was elected
VACANCIES BY REMOVAL FROM THE DISTRICT
TO BE FILLED BY APP0INTMENT.-Whcn Direc-
tor has removed from the District, it is the du-
ty of the Board to fill the vacancy by appoint
ment, until the next regular election.
LAST ADJUSTED VALUATION NOT TO BE MODIFIED
OR ENLARGED.-In levying school tax, Directors
are limited, in their assessment under the twen-
ty-ninth section of the school law to the " last
adjusted valuation" furnished by the County
Commissioners, and cannot modify it, to make
up for either real or supposed omission and mis-
takes on the part of assessors.
ORDINARY SCHOOL TAX NOT TO BE APPLIED To
BUIIDING.-The tax levied under the thirtieth
section of the school law should be appropria-
ted solely to the support and maintenance of
the schools, and to defray their ordinary ex-
penSes, including repairs, and Directors cannot
legally use any proportion of it as a building
fund
BUILDING TAX LIMITED AND TO BE KEPT SEPA-
RArE.-The special tax for building purposes
under the thirty-third section of the law, can
not exceed the "amount of the regular annual
tax" for the current school year, levied under
the 30th section A careful account should be
kept of each fund separately.
TREASURER NOT TO GET ANY PER cENTAGE ON
BALANcE.-An outgoing School Treasurer, is
not entitled to per centage on the uuexpended
balance in tho District Treasury, handed over
to his successor in Office.
NUMBER OF DAYS IN TEACHERS MONTH";
To ascertain the exact number of DAYS in
teachers month, first deduct all the Sabbaths
from each calender month taught then deduct
every alternate Saturday, or the latter half of
every Saturday, and the remaining time, but
no more should be exacted of the teacher
The better policy would be to have no school
on Saturday and whenever this is done, the
days thus vacated should not be charged to the
teacher
TEACHERS CERTIFICATE NOT IN FORCE OUT OF
THE corSTY.-County Superintendents' certif-
Gates to teachers are of no authority out of
the county for which they were issued. A
change of location to another county would
require re-examination by the Superinten-
dent of the proper county, and fresh certi-
fcate.

THE CASE OF Col. K1NNEY.-The case of
Col. Kinney came up before Judge Kane. at
Philadelphia, on Monday morning, the 2lst
instant. Mr.. Dallas, his counsel, argued for
a reduction of bail and demanded speedy trial.
He read number of affidavits one that of
the owner of the steamer which states that
that there was no armament of powder on
board and that the intended expedition was for
colonizing only also stating that the steamer
had been ready for sea since the 7th inst. and
that the delay renders Col. Kinney liable for
twelve hundard dollars day demurrage Mr.
Dallas also submitted an account for the hear
ing in NewYork and closed repeating the de-
mand for an early trial. The case was inter-
ruptcd by the calling of Jurics for the regular
Term of the Court but the case will be resum-
ed about 4 this afternoon.
Mr. Van Dyke. the District Attorney. stated
his inability to bring up the case before two
weeks, on account of the absence of witnesses
Mr.. Dallas said that the delay would be
fatal to the expedition, and might as well be
delayed two months as two weeks.
After further conversation the case was
postponed until the next Term, two months
hence, with the understanding that the sailing
of the expedition need not be delayed. The
defendant renewed his bail in the same amount
as previously given.

GOVERNOR GARDNER's VETo OF THE PERSON
AL LIBERTY BILL-Gov GARDNER, of Massa-
chusetts in giving his reasons for vetoing the
bill which imposes penalties for returning fu-
gitive slave, says =
" L have taken solemn oath to support the
Constitution of Massachusetts and the Consti-
tuition of the United States No earthly pow
er or influence should induce me to be know
ingly disloyal to that sacred obligation Those
oaths of office, the sober convictions of duty,
and the fealty of an American citizen, conspre
to forbid it,
Unconstitutional enactments tending to an
armed conflict between our State and Nation
al systems of government which must result in
the submission of one, alike fatal whichever it
is, should be equally stunned by judicious
craftsmanship, as we'll as patriotic duty. In
such delicatcly balanced organizations, the in
tegrity of the one should be preserved as zeal
Ously as the humiliation of the other should be
avoided
"The legal adviser given me by the statutes
of the Commonwealth pronounces the bill now
before me unconstitutional in some of its pro-
visions. The Supreme Judicial Court, also, in
opinion signed by all its justices, in reply to
a question propounded to them by myself, state
as follows :-"W When any person, either citizen
or stranger, has rendered himself amenable to
the legal process of both governments" (the
Federal and State } "the one which, by its
process and its officers, first obtains the lawful
custody of such person, acquires priority of
jurisdiction which cannot be rightfully or legal,
ly defeated by the other, until the process first
attaching shall have been satisfied or discharg-
ed"
"But these opinions are clear and unmistaka-
ble, and there are no higher authorities known
to our laws or to our judgments Being un
willing, therefore, to lead Massachusetts into
position hostile to the harmony of the con-
federacy, which is essential to the permanent
interests of the Commonwealth and the Re
public, no course is left me but to withhold nv
sanction from this bill"
The Legislature has since passed the law,
over the Governors head. 1t will very likely
place Massachusetts iu the same position South
Carolina found herself, in Gen. JAcKsoN's ad-
minstration
