Fugitive Slave Case.

The recent decision of the United States
Commissioner at Cincinnati, by which a ne
gro woman and her husband who had been
indicted under the law of Ohio for the muir
der of their own child, were remanded to
Slavery in Kentucky, is justly exciting the
indignation of the press of the former State.
We find the following in late number of
the Cleveland Herald:
This case has been decided at Cincinnati,
and the slaves remanded to Slavery. The
Commissioner refuses to deliver up the ne
groes, who are indicted for murder, to the
Sheriff; thus of course holding that the right
of Kentuckian to his property is "higher
law" than the right of the State of Ohio for
redress for the crime of murder.
If it shall stand as law, that Shareholders
can bring their slaves into Ohio and not for
felt their claim to them as such slaves, (even
if the bringing is merely for temporary
purpose) then the last plast plank has given
way upon which the rights of the Free States
hope to rest. What is temporary purpose?
Is it for an hour, day, or a year? Where
is the line between temporary residence and
permanent residence? 1t will result in this,
that, whenever STAKEHOLDER shall bring his
negroes into Ohio, with the intention some
time or other, Of going back to Slave State,
however indefinite and remote the time of
return may be, that, will be held as a tempo
rary purpose, and residence Of months, or
years on Free Soil will not even permit the
chains of human bondage to rust off: Not a
house in Ohio would be safe from the curse
of involuntary servitude, for the quo amino
as the lawyers say-would control. When
window shall be put in every mans breast,
so that the secrets of the heart can be laid
bare, then, and not till then, can mans act
ual intentions be judged of, and righteous
li;;..stice melted out accordingly. There is but
one way to judge of men; that is, by their
actions; End hence, when STAKEHOLDER shall
voluntarily Ii;ring his slave into Free State,
even for a moment of time, that one breath
of free air should work that bondman's
emancipation.

Col. Fremont, says the New York Evening
Post, has at length got his great Mariposa
estate fully confirmed to him, and if he can
succeed in taking possession of it, may be
regarded as one of the richest men living
The Patent was signed by the President last
week, and delivered by him at the White
House to Col. Fremont in person. Patents
are now generally signed by the Private Sec
rotary of the President, who is thereunto
authorized by an act of Congress; but Gen.
Pierce signed that one with his own hand
The instrument is engrossed upon parchment
and covers twelve sheets, including, on a
large sheet of parchment, finely executed
map of Las Mariposas, as surveyed by the
United States Surveyor General.
The tract is upward of seventy square
miles in extent, and is situated about 225
miles from San Francisco, in an easterly d.
rection. 1t embraces the town of Mariposas,
containing from three to four thousand in
habitants, and a number of other small towns
and settlements; and it is estimated that
there arc upward of 1900 people now on
the estate.
Col. Fremont bought this land on the 10th
of May, 1916, of Alvarado, Ex-Governor of
California, for $4,000 in cash, and at the
time the old Californians laughed at it as
very extravagant price. After long litiga-
ton, his title has been fully confirmed by
the Supreme Court of Washington.
Of the value of Col. Fremont's grant it is
impossible to s, eak with defniteness, as it is
apparently, almost beyond calculation
Messrs. Palmer, Cooke & Co., bankers Of
San Francisco, who have advanced heavily
to pay the taxes upon it, and to defray the
enormous expenses of the suit, own one un-
divided half interest in the property. Col.
Fremont alone owns the other half.
Already about $35 GOO, 900 worth of gold
dust have been taken from the tract, and the
per centage of earth which has yet been
worked, even imperfectly, is exceedingly
small. This is owing to the scanty supply
of water to be found on the tract, and can
al is proposed, at cost of 100000, to sup
ply the deficiency. When this is completed,
the revenue to be derived from the estate
will amount to many millions of dollars per
annum:

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Barnum'S Bankruptcy.

For the parties who suffered by the failure
of this prince of humbugs, we are bound, in
christian kindness, to feel proper commits
seratiOn; but all the tears lie in an onion
that will be shed over the pecuniary ruin of
Barnum himself. The collapse of this enor-
nous bubble which glittered in the gorgeous
rays it derived from the summers sun, seems
like an interposition of Providence. The in
tense worship of wealth, which turns the
heads of our people, led them to overlook or
palliate the dishonorable means by which
this man had to be nabob, and scarcely
village bar-room could be found in the coun-
try, in which the mention of Barnum's name
did not excite feeling akin to admiration.
When, last year, he published his scandalous
autobiography, in which he confessed his
swindling tricks, recounting them as if they
were excellent jokes, which reflected credit
on his ingenuity, and in seeming unconscious
ness of their turpitude, lie found thousands
of sympathizing readers. We are glad of
his failure, and hope it's moral may not pass
UNDECIDED.
Our foolish admiration of overerown wealth
is rapidly obliterating all sense Of moral dis
tinctions. We overlook vulgaritX we pardon
dishonesty, we are almost ready to bestow
our appreciation on fraud when we see it in
possession of tie tawdry splendor of Iranis
tan, or inhabiting gorgeously furnished pal
ace in Fifth Avenue. We have number of
times seen Barnum's name mentioned in tie
papers, as suitable candidate for Governor
of Connecticut, and had the Maine Law par
ty seen fit to nominate him, we doubt not
that fools would have been found to throw
up their hats in the air and give nine cheers
for this embodiment Of the esprit of the
age"
The eager pursuit of wealth is passion
which in this country needs no additional
stimulus. Its tendency to absorb all other
feelings, is the worst symptom of the times.
1t extinguishes the passion for excellence; it
blights all elevated ambition; it chills the
generous aspirations of our youth to distin-
guish themselves by high achievements in
art, or lofty speculations in science; it de-
grades all the nobler energies of the soul in
to a mere dung hill, in which vulgar and ig
noble avarice may bury its roots and thrive.
When we consider how blunted the popular
mind in this country has become to the dis
reputable means by which Barnum rose to
supposed wealth, we have reason to be alarm
ed forthe country. We repeat, we are glad,
for the sake of the country, that this huge
humbug has exploded. Now that the gid
ing has been removed, we hope the public
conscience may be awakened to full sense
of the moral depravity of his fraudulent ca
reer, and that we may abate something of
that admiration for mere wealth which excu-
ses the disreputable means by which it has
been acquired.

washing ton and Kansas Affairs.

The Herald's correspondent telegraphs !:
Dispatches brought by the America were
received by the State Department yester-
day. There was nothing decisive in them,
Notwithstanding that there are rumors that
they are belligerent In tone.
An effort is being made by the Southern
Americans to start new candidate fot Pres
ident.
The Tribune's correspondent says the
Stephens minority report on the Kansas
election is skilfuliy drawn. 1t is demurrer,
insisting that Congress has no right to look
below the surface of the Kansas Legislature
but must regard the Territorial Legislature
as rightfully constituted, and it's acts as valid
laws. This being established, Whitfield il
the legal delegate, no matter how many lille.
gal votes were polled, and Reeder cannot
even contest.
