The bred Scott Decision in the OHIO
Legislature

The Committee on Federal Relations in
the Ohio House made n very full report in
relation to the bred Scott case, on the lst
inst, accompanied with bill and resolu-
tiuus.
The bill is to prevent Slayeholding and
kidnapping in Ohio. 1t provides
|. lnat any person attempting to hold
another as 4 slave. directly or indirectly,
shall he fined and imprisoned.
. That il any person shall seize or arrest,
or use any force or fraud Tor the purpose OF
dctalning any other person upon pretence
that such person Isa fugitive from service,
he shall he punished by fine and imprlson-
mcut.
,. That any attempt to kidnap with in
tent to carry them out of the State, for the
purpose Of enslaying them, shall be punish-
ed hy Imprisonment in the penitentirry.
/, That the provisions of the bill shall
not apply to any act lawfully done by any
marshal in the execution Of any legal pro-
cess.
Among the resolutions reported are the
following
That the doctrine also announced in be-
half Of Il majority of the Court, that there
exists no power in the General Government
10 exclude Slavery from the Territories of
the United States, subyerts express provis-
ions of the Constitution, annuls the just
authority OF the people Of the United States
over their own Territories, and contradicts
the whole practice ol the Government under
every Administration, from that Of Wash
ington to that Of Polk.
That in the promulGatiOn of the doctrine
against which we now protest, We recognize
the natural effect of the ascendancY OF the
Slave power in the supreme Court OF the
United States, secured by the arrangement
Of the Circuits, which gives TO the Slave
States, with less than one-third of the free
population of this Union, five out OF nine
Judges, leaving to the Free States, with
more than two thirds of the free population,
only tour; and we hereby instruct our Sena-
tors, and request our Representatives in
Congress, to use their best endeavors to OBJ
tain such modification of existing laws as
will secure to the Free States their just
representation in that tribunal
In addition to this Senator Griswold has
reported to the Senate resolutions which,
| in view of Kansas outrages, propose SlOO,-
| 600 for the protection Of Ohio citizens, to
be employed bv the Governor AS his discre-
! tiun shall dictate.

MR., EDITOR:
What is the construction Of the law relative
to the taxation Of the stock Of monied or other
corporations out Of the State BY the listing law
of 1856 all public stocks securities, in monied
or other corporations whether incorporated in th.
state or not, except such stocks as may be owned
10 corporations out OF the state and tdred in the
itatewhere they are located to be set in the list
and taxed here By the act Of $50 it enacted that
the above act Of 1855 " shall be so construed that
stock in monied or other corporations out Of the
State shall be set in tho Grand List and taxed in
nualy assasel or held To make annual pa yoent, to
the state, county or town where situated" Now
it is generally understood AMI conceded, that the
members Of the Legislature dill not intend by the
of sc to repeal the act Of 81; and it must be
also conceded that they adopted very untortun-
ate phrI.eolOgy to express what they did mean
But the question is, what is the lsgl! ut,G Of the
act Of lsjG
As an independent enactment its terms would
seem to leave no room tor the escape OF foreign
stock from taxation here. for in either altern-
alive, that is, whether the corporation were an
nually assessed or not, such sto ks were to be
set in the list and taxsd--and giving the act Of sc
thi, fleet, it would be very awkward but sweep
ing repeal Of the act Of 80, which excepte such
sto *. when taxed in the foreign State. Had this
been the intent the act would have been In its
title and tsrms q repeating statute, as the most
pie and direct mode Of eaecting the object
But the title Is an act 10 aidiiio to act reat
| ing to the grand list. passed November Il, 1855
and by its terms merely giyes construction to that
act; and not purportng to repeal, not rep ealing
in terms, and only adding thereto n construc-
! tion, the act Of IS remains still in full
| force, being virtually re.enacted by the
act of SO ! with the construction added
! thereto that :" stocks in monied other corpora
tions out Of the State which is but descriptive Of
the stocks in the exception of the act Of 'j5 shall
be set in the list and taxed in this State, whether
such corporation is or is not annually assessed or
held to pay annual payments to the state, county
or town where situated making pllpable
distinction between those foreign stocks which
were tarei abroad, as other personal property,
and such as were subjected, through an annual
assessment on the corporation, to the payment OF
a jonuB-and thus placing those stocks on the same
! footing as those of own state. This, il is
believed is tn real and legal intent Of the act o
SO, and tho only construction which will give
consistent effect to both acts, T.

IHnpy NS Hneb,
The Albany Eyenirg journal, as the best
answer to Judge fancy in l-j1 brings up
u decision of the Judge in Il similar case
in lsl} 1t seems that in that year, james
Ash, a Maryland negro and slave, sued for
his freedom in the Circuit Court Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, ~ Drcl Scott ali in that
Of Missouri The case was in ike manner
carried up to the United States Supreme
Court. But it met with different rec0l-
ton and different decision.
Mr.. Chief Justice fancy delivered the
opinion Of the Court ltis found III Towards
Reports, Vol. !, pp. l2-ll.
This case, said his Honor, is brought
here by writ Of error from the Circuit
Court, and came before that Court upon "A
petition for freedom. 1t appeared upon the
trial that the petitioner was the property
of M.ry Ann Green1eld, Of Prince Georges
CO. in the State of Md, who died in 1874
having first duly made her last Will and tcs-
lament, whereby, among other things, she
bcqucathcd the petitioner, with suniry
other slaves, to her nephew. q. 7. Green.

the State of Maryland, or sell them to any
one. in either of which events, | will and
devise the said negroes 10 be free for life.
Upon the death Of the the testatrix, G.. +.
Greenfield took possession Of the petitioner
(Jamcs Ash) until December lo39, when
he sold the petitioner to the defendant
(Williams,) and the petition for freedom
was filed shortly after the sale.
Upon this evidence the Circuit Court
instructed the Jury, that by the fact Of
such sale of tho petitioner, the estate or
property of the petitioner 50 bcqueathed
to Greenfield ceased and determined, and he
therefore became entitled to his freedom
We think the bequest in the will was a CON
ditional limitation of freedom to the petit
TONER and that it took effect the moment
he was sold The judgment Of he circuit
Court is therefore dfirmed,'
So that this same Chief Justice then held
that negro might not only be party to a
suit before the L. S, Supreme Court, like
any other citizen, but that slave might 60
there and recover his freedom
Which is the law-that expoundcd by
fancy in 1913, or his Hat contradiction Of
himself in 1857

was out y hours. 1t is not considered
probable that there will be new trial,
The Boston journal corrects the
statement that Mr. Kalloch is about
to adopt the profession Of law. 1t
says he is expected to re sume his ministeria
duties next Sunday and to continue them
hereafter The members of his church
have passe series of resolutions with
much una nimity, entirely exonerating Mr..
Kalloch from all suspic ion of blame, and
earnestly inviting him to resume his duties
in the pulpit at once The recent attempt
to convict Mr. kalloch Of the crime alleged
against HIM wa. characterized in strong
terms OF condemnation, and as the expense
of the defence must have been large, the
