THE Charleston Mercury prOmulgates the
following new scheme of slavery: "The laws
Of Congress carrying ont the power given
to Congress by the Constitution, prohibits
the African Slave Trade, and makes that
trade piracy. But if importing negroes as
emigrants from Africa is not the Slave Trade,
then the laws of Congress do not apply to it
We suppose emlgrants from Africa may Just
as legltimately be brought to the United
States as emigrants from Germany or Ireland
Nor will the circumstances of an agreement
being previously made for employment and
wages, at all affect the legality of the impor-
tatiOn. Hundreds, thousands arc beng i'm
ported daily from Europe under agreements
with the manufacturers of New England to
carry on their factories. If the Government
of the United States shall, therefore determ-
inc that the importation of negroes from the
African coast, by England and France, as en-
igrants in the West India Islands, is not the
African Slave Trade, then the whole trade of
bringing negroes from Africa is also open to
the Southern States. What becomes of the
negroes after they are imported into State,
will be an affair of the State The General
Government can have nothing to do with it.
The enforcement of any contract for wages
will be entirely within the jurisdiction of the
Courts of the States: And if public opinion,
or the real understanding of the migrants,
establishes practically that they shall be
slaves, there is no address by any other au-
thority than that Of the States in which they
are located, who, Under the decision of the
Dred Scott Case, will never recognize the
rights of the black man.

LANGDoN CHEvEs-We have announced
the death of this distinguished gentleman, at
Charleston S. G. He was born in 1776, any
was consequently in the 8lst year of his
age. He served in Congress from 1911 to
1916, and bore conspicuous and creditable
part in the important and difficult legislation
of that period. On the eve of the last war
with Great Britain, he, with Calhoun and
Lowndes advocated the creation of a navy,
which others discouraged on the plea that it
would be impossible to meet with success
the immense naval force of England. Mr..
Cheves was twice chosen Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, and in that capa-
city gave the casting vote in the negative on
the question of re e-chartering the old United
States Bank. When that bank was finally
re-chartered, he was called TO its presidency
where his conduct demonstrated his sound
judgment and eminent fiscal ability. The
Charleston .News concludes a notice of his
life as follows:
He was impatient of contradiction, and
was, therefore, in association with others,
deemed in some degree impracticable. In
the moral qualities that constitute firmDess
and decision Of character, Mr.. Cheves had no
superior among his contemporaries. He never
sacrificed the true to the expedient-right to
policy. 1t was his unbending rectitude and
love of truth that created as large measure
of confidence as was ever enjoyed by any
citizen of South Carolina who has adorned
public career, while the lustre of his private
virtues made that career still more resplen-
dent.

A Scene In Pittsburgh, va.---MO bbing
Scducer.
(From the Pittsburgh Express.)

Several dispatches received Saturday even
ing, gave notice of the expected arrival Of
the runaway seducer, James NJ. Lee, alias
Banton, and his unfortunate paramous, Miss
Stewart. An immense crowd Immediately
repaired to the Richmond depot, fully pre-
pared to meet the scoundrel, and, after Civ
ing him duck in the Appomattox, inten-
ded to march him through the public streets,
and at night gave him the benefit of thor
ough tarring, feathering, splintering and burn
ing. When the cars arrived every door was
surrounded. A brother of Miss Stewards
was present, pressing close, with his hand
upon a well-charged pistol, ready to shoot
the villain down the moment of his appear
ance. The passengers in the train became
very much excited at the conduct of the
mob, and it was with difficulty that pas
sage could be made through to the convey.
ances, along the depot. Finally Miss S. ap-
peared upon the platform, forcing her way
through the crowd, the observed of all OBJ
servers, with veil aside, and moving with the
grace and dignity of a queen. When ap-
preached by her brother, tears diffused her
eyes, and drawing the veil over her face, he
conducted her to carriage. Lee, it seems,
had intended returning with her to Pitts
burg, and, for that purpose, had engaged tick

concerning him, he left ihe train 10 minutes
before the time of starting, taking off his
baggage, and returning to the St. Charles
Hotel, leaving his pseudo bride in charge of
an unknoping gentleman Of this city. Upon
the announcement of this intelligence from
the conductor of the train, the crowd in
waiting left the depot in perfect stew of
chagrin, not however, until satisfying their
curiosity upon the good looks and stately
form of the fair inamorata of the cunning
seducer.
