ard ,IaveAolding-a connection % natural that
even church-pembership does not seem to shord
any safeguard against it.
Thi. pious Presbyterian, Notwithstanding his
pronise made in Cincinnati, had, it seems,
shipped this WOMAN and her surviving children on
board steamer for Gainess Landing, Arkansas
the residence, we may reasonably suppose, of some
member of the Gaines family, who makes no pre-
fences to piety, but who there administers the
patriarchal system after the Simon Legree fashion.
But this steamer, il seems. on the passage down the
Ohio, had collision with another steamer. IN con-
sequence Of which several lives were lost and
among them that of one of the children OF this
very woman. The woman herself and her two
other children were saved with difficulty, and
were brought on shore from the wreck; but
they were at once reshipped and carried of to
their original destination. Thus, when warrant
for their arrest wss granted upon the Ohio requisi
ton they were not to be found, Notwithstanding
the interruption and delay caused by this acct
dent. 1t is now stated that when the Governor Of
Kentucky Was informed Of this he expressed great
Indignation, and that he has declared that the
woman shall be brought back and surrendered. 1t
remains to be seen whether the Governors deca-a-
ton will prove any more trustworthy than Games
promise. Gov. Chsses requisiton is not merely
for the woman but for the men also, all the adults
having been indicted as participating in the
murder.
Judge Burgoyne Of Cincinnati, who had issued
the writ of babeus corpus in the case of the three
colored children is taking steps to call the Mar
shall to sccoun. for not having obeyed that writ.
The Marshal had returned, that as the production
Of tie persons before the Court would serve no
practical purpose, he, the Marshal, had taken the
responsibility of disobeying the writ and delivering
the children over to the claimant Here is new
development Of the beauties of the Fugitive Slave
act The Marshals too, claim, it would seem, I'M
der that act, hardly less extensive Judicial pre-
rogatiye of deciding whether process issued from
the State Courts "can serve any practical pur-
pose" and whether therefore, it is to be obeyed or
not.
Judge Burgoyne, not exactly satisfied at being
thus ousted from his seat by United States Mar
shall, and not being terrified at the gang of Ken
lucky rufisns and lOafers hired by the United
States at SO day to back that functionary, has
directed the prosecuting Attorney to file specfica-
tons upon which q rule should issue to the Mar
shall to show cause why he should not be attached
as for a contempt. This same Marshal has once
already been in jail by order of the Supreme Court
of Ohio for similar contempt in resisting their
process. On that occasion he was set free by
Judge Mclean. We shall see whether that ex-
pertinent will be tried a second time.

KANSAS IN CONGRESS.

Editorial Core spondencs OF the n. Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, March %, 1856
The official transcript for Congress OF the State
Constitution of Kansas having been received here
by Col. Delahay, Member of Congress elect from
the State of Kansas, he yesterday committed it to
Gen. Cass for presentation to the Senate and in 30
doing made speech strongly complimentary to the
General for his past services to the West and tho
cause of Squatter Sovereignty. Gen. Cass briefly
and cautiously replied, not pedging himsefto sup
port the application of Kansas: but he will present
the Constitution tomorrow.
1t is now reported that Mr.. Banks will probably
make up the Kansas Commission entirely from
members who are not on the Committee Of Elec-
tons and have not participated in the debate 80
that each may enter upon the investigation wholly
unembarrassed by past committals or avowals. In
such case it is believed that Mr.. Howard Of Mchi-
gan will DO the Chairman, with Gov. Aiken or
Warren Winslow of North Carolina as the South
ern member.
Mr. Dowdell of Alabama is to be overhauled in
the House tomorrow by the Missourians because
of his glance at Mississippi reputation in his late
speech. trust he will be ready for them. H.s

THE CINCINNATI SLAVE CASE.

At the time of the transfer Of the slave mother,
with her three surviving children, from Cincinnati
to KeDtucky under the certificate of saye-catchng
Commissioner, but in open contempt of the Judicial
process and the courts of Ohio, it was given out
BY several of the Cincinnati papers, anxious to ap-
pease the excitement which that outrage occasioned
that Gaines, the claimant had solemnly declared
that after conveying the woman to Kentucky b.
should hold her in readiness to be surrendered upon
any executive demand that the Governor of Ohio
might make upon the Governor of Kentucky.
That Gaines made these prOtestations We have
not the least doubt. A slavecatcher, even if he be
member Of the Presbyterian Church, IS this Eel.
low Gaines is said to be- while attempting to entrap
or to get back runaway negro, hesitates at no
lie whatever that may serve his purpose; and this
Mr.. Gaine, might very Well believe that, in
such a case as bis, lying to white people
was not whit worse than lying to negroes. That
he made the promise to hold the woman to abide
the demand Of the Governor of Ohio, there is no
doubt; but the moment we read the statement, We
entertained also not the slightest doubt that he had
made il intending to break if. Indeed, nOtwith-
standing his religious professions, he evidently hes
an uncommoIly glib tongue even for a slave
catcher. He promised Mrs. Lucy Stone Black
well that upon removing the woman TO Kentucky
he would release her; but no sooner was that pro.
mise made public than it was repuditaed by his at
toTDeys. So he made this other promise to hold
the woman to await the Ohio requisitiOn, with the
same fraudulent intent Perhaps he fattered him.

public notice; that the woman might be pr-

cratic Press says:
The extreme severity of the Winter has led to a
very general impression that the Straits would open
unusually late this year. 1t would seem, however,
from late advices from Msckinaw and from Lake
Superior that the Winter has not been in
those ATTITUDES il has been here and that the proba

than usual. An extract from a private letter from
Maokinaw, dated Feb. 90, published in The Detroit

says: we have never had so mid Winter so little
snow and ice. For several days back far as the
