A SINGULAR TRIAL.-A case is pend.
ing in one Of the New York courts, in
which the plaintiff sues for $4,000 worth

SLAVE TRADE CUBA,

The slave trade in Cuba, instead Of
being on the decline, appears to be in .
fourishing condition. 1t is now propos-
ed to introduce steamships into the trade,
and one is already preparing for voy.
age to the coast ofAfrica. 1t is supposed
that from the quick run she will make,
all the negroes will be landed in good
health, and sell readily for $3.50 each.
The New York Herald thinks that if the
French Emperor's Niger speculation for
Martinique turns out well, we may see
more slave steamers running between
Havana and the Gulf OF Guinea than now
run between New York and Liverpool,
and carrying more "emigrants" than are
now crossing the Northern ATTITUDES oil
the Atlantic.

PREslDENT,s MESSAGE.

Our telegraphic reports this morning
contain a synopsis of the Message, which
will give our readers clear idea of its
tone and views on the leading subjects.
1t is as full report as most readers
will be Induced to read. The Message
was received at Cincinnati and Louis
vile last night at nine o'clock. No copy
was forwarded to this city, in advance o.
its delivery.
p On the subject of the Kansas consti'
tuition, the Message goes the full length
of endorsing the doings Of the Lecomp
ton Convention. In this matter, it ha
taken a bold stand.

A CHANGE OF ToSE.-The Philadelphia
Press says u wonderful change has ''come
over the spirit of the dream" Of politicians
in Washington Only three days ago those
who bitterly denounced Democrats for differ
ence Of opinion on the Kansas question, and
formerly read them Out of the party organ
ization, now change front, and in dulcet
tones wonder that any objection could have
been made to fair and honest expression OF
opinion. This hopeful turn of the current
toward moderate views is no doubt due
mainly to indications from high quarters
that the course heretofore pursued was not
exactly squared with the ground held by the
Administration. 1t is found the expressions
Of opinion against the proceedings of the
Kansas Convention are too general and toe
strong to be resisted, and change of tone is
found necessary. rfrs.-r- 1tr

CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING.

Among the gross corruptions that have
crept into all departments Of the govern
ment, OF late years, none is more outra-
geous than the mode in which the Con-
gressional printing is done. Its costs
have been run up to the enormous sum
of a million and half of dollars. 1t is
too rich spoil to be absorbed by one
party, and a combination is made to share
it among the profigate adherents Of all
the factions. 1t has been given hereto
fore to the Union, which is joint stock
concern, said to belong to men who are
Democrats, Republicans and Know
Nothings, held together by the adhesive
power of rich spoils. The printing OF
the House OF Representatives for the last
session amounted to the enormous sum
of Sl,450,OOO. This is the item over
which the conflict at the present session
is to be most ravenous. A dozen partl-
zans are looking to share in It as for
tune. A correspondent from Washing
ton says Harris, Of the Washington
Union, supposes himself certain OF the
Senate printing, which may be worth q
beggarly 100000 per annum. But he
is also a candidate for the House, which
yields better profit. Wendell. his bus.
mess partner, is also candidate for the
House. and thinks himself sure to win

{ SENATOR BRIeuT's PosiTIoN.-The Madi-
son Courier says: at is understood that Sem
ator Bright faces his great rival, the small
giant-Bright sustaining the policy of Mr..
Buchanan IN regard to the submission Of the
Calhoun constitution to vote of the people
Of Kansas. Mr.. Douglas, with much the
largest portion of the party in the free States,
is IN opposition to this policy"
We think the Madison Courier is in error
in its statements; for the papers in this
State that give Mr.. Bright indiscriminate
support, are most decided in their condem-
nation Of the Kansas Convention. They
would not express opinions so decidedly in
opposition to the views of their chief Mr.
Bright is too shrewd to adopt opinions so I'M
popular ut home and avow them openly.

HELP FROM THE EAsT.-Efforts are
making at Henderson, Mt. Vernon and
other places, to procure domestic help
from the East. The principal objection
to all the engagements proposed, is to
advancing the passage money by the en-
ployers without any guarantee OF its re-
payment in case the help do not fulfil
their part Of the engagement, or are not
fitted for the service which they are to
perform. The Rev. Mr.. Cole Of this
city, and other gentlemen have received
propositions to furnish the help and at
tend to taeir transpoi tation West, on
condition that twelve dollars per head
should be RENTED to some person in
New York. Mr.. GEORGE FLOWERS in a
communication to the Mt. Vernon Advo-
cate, proposes to form an association in
that town, and appoint an agent to at
tend to the business. He says Posey
county alone, would take one thousand
persons, for male and female help. He
says almost every family in town are
complaining of want of help. and almost
all the farmers say they want man or
boy. The risk is so small and the adj
vantage so great, if there is any real
want, the opportunity think will be
embraced. have had some experience
in the matter, by paying the passage of a
great many laborers, male and female,
from England-where the expense and
risk was much greater than here. They
almost all paid me faithfully-the loss
was about one in twenty-five"

trial by Court Marshal at Fort Lea

RENTED the penalty. The nature of the
