a JUDICIAL CONFLICT.

The Cincinnati Slave Cases give promise of Il
new illustration of the folly Of attempting to unite
such antasonisms as Slavery and Freedom. There
seems a strorg probability that the State ana Fed
eral Judicial authorities will not be able to COM
piete this rendition without coming in conflict.
All the adult fugitives who were in the house Mt
the the time of the killing of The Child, have been
arrested for that offence. The Grand Jury have
found n bill against them and the Sheriff has
served the warrants upon them while in Jail. The
question now arises, which authority is prcdomi-
nant, that Of the COMMISSIONS and Marshal, ren.
resenting the Federal Government, or that of the
Sheriff, the representative Of the sovereignty of
Ohio. The Commissioner and Marshal seem desi-
rous II possible, Of avoiding n cohesion. The Mar
shall may well be so DESTROYS, as by a provision Of
the fugitive law he is executing, he is responsible
for the delivery Of the slaves to their master after
they have been 0djudged to the claimant, whate.
yer power may intervene to prevent. In the early
part Of the trial last week, the Commissioner sug.
Gested that to avoid collision, the Sheriff should
torbear to serve his warrants until the time inter.
ycning between the conclusion of the examination
Of the case and the decision Of the Commissioner
The Sheriff however did not see propcr to wait
thus long, but served the warrants upon the fugi.
tives while in Jail, under the authority of the Mar
shall, and forbid that officer to take them thence 10
appear in the Commissioners Court during the ar
gument of Col. Chambers. Finally however they
were brought into Court as a matter Of favor by
the Sheriff, who still claimed their custoday. On
adjournment, Commissioner Pendcry, after counsel
ling with the Marshal, ordered him to return them
to the Jail of Hamilton County and there to keen
them safely in his custody. This was a singular
order, AZ they were brought before the Commission.
on this occasion only by the. sunernnce Of the
Sheriff and were now to be returned to the Jail
which is entirely under the Sheriff control. to be
there held by the Marshal. 1t looks almost like
a surrender of authority by tie Commissioner.
The reporter Of The Cincinnati Gazette, saws, the
order was thus issued in order to save the Marshal
rom responsibility, in case the Sheriff should make
good his possession Of the prisoners. Thus the
natter stands according to the latest news, at the
line OF writing. What is to be the result if the
shall attempt to surrender them to
heir master-Iemains to be seen. All Of course
depend upon the frmress and decis sion Of tho
conflicting officials. We shall perhaps be able 10

Pennsylvania LEGISLATURE.

The minority of the Pennsy lvania Legislators
seem to stick at nothing which shall serve slavery.
however degrading it may be to the dignity Of tLs
State, or however it may ieopordise the liberty Of
her citizens. For example, they have fastened
upon the State, for six years to come, n terrible
incubus, BY electiag their cid fogy, pro-slavery
Governor, WilliaA Bigler, to the United States
Senate. es,a5
On the 24th ult., the House Of Representatives
by a vote Of G4 to sc, refused to instruct tho Jul
dietary Committee to Enquire if further lcgisla-
ton was not necessary to protect the personal lib.
critics of its citizens from the arbitrary proceedings
of Judges Of the United States Courts, exercising
jurisdiction in the State" Thus they submit with
due humility to Judge Kane's usurpatiuns, and be-
come his confederatcs in fastening slavery upon
the Commonwealth ..--
The Judiciary Committee have also had before
them tho question Of the right of Shareholders to
carry their slaves through the State underauthority
of the Federal Constitution. A majority of tho
committee reported that the right was so clear and
undeniable, ihat no legislation was necessary on
the subject. Judge KoRe's opinion is law to them.
They are marvellous sticklers for interstate COM
ity." The minority Of this committee have made
an able and manly report in opposition 70 this in
sidious plea Of the shareholders to introduce slayory
into Pennsylvania.

report inrtisr before cur paper goes to press. We
are deeply Interested in the question and Ohio
perhaps has il now in her power to assert her pre-
negatives against the usurpntion Of this fugitive
Slave Law, to which she has SO long tamely sub
nitted. 1t was tho purpose Of the law 10 deny to
tho State all authority 10 interfere in any manner
and in any form for the relief Of an alleged slave.
It yltccd the Commissioner decision and the Maj.
shals authority above all the power Of the State.
Iumblingi in affect submission ut tho feet Of the
General Government and furbidding alike the
to Interfere to protect tho personal liberty
of tho citizen, Unless there is submission or
evasion OH tho part Of the Commissioner
and Marshal, The judiciary of Ohio has it now in
ITS power to cast contempt upon this base usurpa-
tion. We wait to see whether Cincinnati has IA
judge who will be true to his duty, to his State and
to freedom.
The Mayor Of Cincinnati, James j. Tarran, has
issued instruction to tho Chief of Police, directing
him, in case Ct a conflict between the authorities
Of the State and General Government, in this case,
to give his aid to the sheriff Of the county, in case
he should be called on so to do. W
lie says, "If warrants should be issued on find.
ing OF the Grand Jury for the arrest Of one or moro
of said fugitive slaves, and you should be called
upon to aid the sheriff Of the county, | consider il
your duty to render MIN all the assistance in your
power in executing the process of the State"
This decision of the Mayor will increase the cnre
Of Commissioner and Marshal to prevent, if posi-.
bic, a collision of authority.

GEORGIA DIGNITY.

Tho Legislature Of Vermont passed a series OF
resolutions on the subject of Slavery, which tho
Green Mountain Governor has transmitted to his
brother Governors of the other States. These
resolutions Governo! johnson has sent to The Lo.
s%islaturc of Georgia. accompanied with q long
message full of sound and fury, though hc betrays
4 manifest effort to maintain his executive dignity.
The Legislature on the reception Of the message
found some difficulty in agreeing what disposition
to make Of the resolutions. The members indeed
seemed utterly unqualified to do anything but to
give expression to their curses and their contempt,
OF the authors Of the Resolutions. For example,
Mr.. Lewis Of Green moved to refer them to tho
Committee on the State Of the Republic.
Mr. Jones Of Morgan opposed, and offered a
resolution that the Governor transmit to the Cover
nor OF Vermont, with IL request 10 lay the same be-
tore the Legislature Of said State, the resolves of
the Georgia Convention Of 1850, and to inclvsv
withirfthe same a lcadeu bullet.
Mr:|Ierhuue said he would 90 for that if they
would send powder with it.
Mr.. Jones-And a coil Of rope.
Mr.. misunderstanding is too good for traitors
lie was opposed to referring these resolutions to
the Committee on the State of the Rcpublic.-
words were useless. The time for action had
hoped they would not be bound in the form of a
committee.
Mr.. Crook, Chairman of the Committee, assured
the gentleman from Floyd that the Committee, had
as much contempt for these things, as he, and that
some active indication of that would be commen
den 10y them.
Mr.. Smith Of Urion offered the following reso-
lutions, the reading Of which was received with
applause by the House:
Resolved By the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia, that his Excellency the Governor be,
and is hereby requested to transmit the Vermont
resolutions forthwith to the deep, dark a,sd fetid
sink Of social and political i~niquity from whence
they emanated, with the following uneauiyocal
declaration inscribed thereon:
Resolved, That Georgia, standing on her consti-
tutional palladium, hteds not the maniac rawlings
of het-born fanaticism, nor stoop, from her lofty
position to hold terms with her perjured traitors.
After some further discussion, the motion to 70.
fer prevailed. a molten was then made to print
800 copies Of the Governors Message, accompany.
ing these resolutions and Vermont resolves. Tho
House would not for a moment entertain the idea
of printing these insults, but after some further
debate 100 copies Of the Message were ordered 10
be printed.
In the Senate the following resolution was Of,
fcred:
Resolved, That his Excellency President Pierce
be requested to employ II sufficient number of able
bodied lrishmen to proceed to the State of Vermont
and to dig a ditch around the limits of the same.

FIRST DAY OF THE TRIAL OFTHE MOTUE-
AND HER CHILDREN.

Arehija2a K. Gaines, Claimant, rs. Margaret Car
ner and Ter three children.
Court met at 0 o'clock, on Saturday the 9th inst
but the %fugitives did not appear for some time.
A little after 10 o'clock, Margaret and her chill
dren were brought in. She is about FIVE feet three
inches in height, and rather stoutly than delicately
made, She is a mulatto, showing from one-fourth to
one third white blood. Her forehead is high, and has
Il protuberanco mot SO large, of course, but some.
thing like that which made Daniel Webster's so
striking. Her eyebrows are delicate lines finely
arched, and her eyes, though not remarkably large
are bright and intelligent. The African appears
in the lower part of her face-in the broad nose
and thick lips. Her ear is small; her wrist and
hand large, and she wears a plain gold Or brass
ring on the little finger of the left hand. She is
twenty-five or three years of age.
She was dressed in a dark calico, with Il small
handkerchief on her shoulders, pinned CLOSELY
about her neck, and a yellow cotton handkerchief
was wrapped turban-likc OF a Ia ole Virgisy around
her head.
The child in her arms is a little girl about nine
months old, and is much lighter in color than her
self-light enough to show a red tinge in its cheeks.
Her eyes during the trial were generally cast
down. She would look up occasionally for an in
slant with a timid, apprchensive glance at the
tIsnge faces around her. The babe, with lis lit
tie hands was continually ~fondling her face, but
she rarely noticed it, and her general expression
was one Of extreme sadness. Only once when il
put its hand to her mouth We observed her smile
upon it, and p~layfully bite IT'S little fingers with
her lips.
On the left side Of her f%oreheal, just above .he
outer extremity Of her eye brow il an old ,ar, and
on the cheek bone OF the same side, 0uother. We
asked her how those scars came there. She eaia
