Boarding the Lion.

In the New York Tribune Of the 26th,
it is stated that bill aiming at the expul-
sion of the free colored population and to
prevent their return and further immigration
into the State-is now pending in the Ar
kansas Legislature, but we are glad to see
that of that committee that reported it
there was one man who had the courage
just becoming a very unusual thing at the
South-to express his opinion in plain and
decided terms, that free colored men are
still, in spite of their color, free men, and as
such entitled to the rights, privileges and
consideration due to men and free men not
only according to the dictates of ordinary
humanity, but under the express provisions
of our State constitution. Mr.. Abbott, the
gentleman to whom we allude-we wish we
had the pleasure of knowing his christian
name-in his brave but comprehensive re-
port which we give elsewhere, opposed the
bill reported by the majority of the com.
mittee, on two grounds. OF these the first
Is. L ldI IL Is III CONFLICT Will Jlle sScOuu Ut
ticle of the Constitution of Arkansas, which
provides in the words of Magma Charta
that "no freeman shall be taken, or disseiz
cd of his freehold, liberties or privilege, ol
outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner de
stroved of his life or property, but by tho
Judgment of his PIERS or the law of the
land"-a clause which, in Mr. Abbott's opin
ion, includes all freemen, no matter wha
their color. Secondly, he denies that tho
Legislature is vested with power to deprive
any human being Of his life, liberty or prop
erty, unless he forfeits his rights to tn
same by committing some crime. We ar
glad to find proofs that tho sentiments o
justice and humanity are not yet extinct a
the South. Mr.. Etheridge has spoken en-
phatically against the scandalous and horri
bic project of reviving the African slav
trade. Mr. Abbott has spoken with equs
emphasis-and under circumstances requil
ing more courage and spirit, against the pre-
iects entertained by the same sort of pee
pie for expatriating or enslaving the FIRE
colored population of the South. All hor
or to both.

CrenlntiOIl.

Our readers will remember the excitement
some months since, at Milwaukee, growing
out of the attempt of a husband to dispose
of the remains of his wife after the fashion
of the ancients by burning, instead of what
to him was the abhorrent modern method,
by burial.
1t may be that the subject of burning the
remains of friends, and the preservation of
the ashes, will yet be discussed in this coun-
try, as by Paris correspondent ofthc New
York Times we see it is attracting attention
in France. He says:
Nor should forget new and startling
proposition which is now under discussion
in the municipal government of the city in
regard to the disposition of the dead. This
is nothing less than proposition to revive
the ancient system of cremation or burning.
The oyergrown condition of the cemeteries
and the impracticabilty of the catacomb
system have given rise to this new propost-
ion. In the cemeteries of Paris, which are
now all extramural there are two kinds OF
concessions made TO the dead: concession
for ten years, and perpetual concession.
The first costs but little, the perpetual con-
cession is very dear. So that an immense
proportion of dead bodies are exhumed at
the end of ten years, by expiration of their
lease, and it is these who are carried and
laid away Oh the shelves in tho immense
catacombs which underlie nearly one half Of
the southern part of the city. But thi,
transfer is attended with expense, and is ,
disagreeable and repugnant operation tC
those concerned as well as TO the citizcn
who are made cognizant of the operation
In fact, the transfer at that period of inhu
nation is almost an impossiblity.-
SO that now We have the proposition, seri
ously discussed, of introducing the funera
, pile, and many leading men have pronounC
ed for it.

DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEAT.


So said the French of the English sol
diers during the long Bonapartest wars
The French declared that the English not
knowing when they were beat, continued to
fight after they wero conquered. So we
have no doubt the black democracy would
say of the Republicans. We were beaten
in the Presidential contest, but we fight with
as much courage and moro hope than ever.
The black democracy see that unless they
change their course on the slavery extension
question, the hemp is already growing that
will draw uncomfortably tight about their
weasands in 1860. Unless indeed they
take substantially the republican ground
that slavery shall go no further under the
flag of this Union, the political grave where
their mortal remains shall foster in their
own corruption, is already dug and waiting
for them. The republicans know this also.
Hence the democracy, though triumphant
in 1856, march to Washington with all the
gloom and silence of funeral procession.
Hence the republicans, though beaten, pre-
pare for new contest and certain victory,
with undagging zeal and unfailing hope.
"Truth crushed TO EARTH will rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error wounded writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers."

ES~ A few days since, one of the Wash
ington correspondents of the New York
Tribune received the appointment of Clerk
to one of the House Committees. Immedi-
ately on the announcement of the fact, the
Tribune proprietors notified him that his
connection with them must cease, as they
regard the position of stipendiary of a Com
mittee or of the House as incompatible with
that independence, both as respects men
and measures which it deems indispensable
in its correspondents.

FRIGHTENED DEMOCRACY.

In less than ayear the black democracy
will be claiming that they have always
been opposed to the extension of slavery.
The vote of the Northern States has made
them shake as Belshazzar did when he be-
held the mysterious hand on the wall. Al
ready Southern papers say that there is an
intention on the part of the incoming Ad-
ministration to "black republicanizo the
democracy of the North" The Northern
leaders saw that in the campaign of 1856,
their success depended on carrying the
whole South, and they made all the prom
ises to the slavery propagandists that they
required. They already see that in 1860,
they must carry the North, and that to do
this, they must adopt republican principles.
The honest masses of the democratic party
cannot again be deluded into voting an ap-
proval of slavery extension.

Joyce Family Murder.

The murder of the Joyce Family, per-
sons, at Brar Creek, KY, about fifteen
miles from Louisville, which was announced
in our telegraphic column, was committed
by three slaves, who are now in Jail in Lou
isville. They confess that they first muir
dered the inmates and then burned tho
house. on Thursday night of last week. A
neighbor first saw the building cnveloped
in flames too late to be extinguished. Amid
the ruins have been discovered the remains
of Mrs. Joyce, very old lady, her widowed
daughter, Mrs Welch, one of her sons, and
a child of Mrs. .Welch. They were burned
TO a crisp.
The negroes were detected by watch
and a coat belonging to Joyce, being found
in the bed of one of them. Much excite.
meut exists, and summary vengeance i,
threatened.

The st. Louis Republican, in noticing
the remedies prescribed for Scarlet Fever,
says:
We incline to the belief that the surcst
drophylaotic is in the watchful care of q
kind mother, and in proper safeguards
against undue exposure, and consequent
colds, sore throat and fevers. And if tho
fever comes, 'throw physic to the dogs"
and take to a riud of fat bacon and lubricate
the little ones from head to foot. We
have it from an experienced old lady that
well creased child never died of scarlet
fever.

A Columbus correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial writes:

A Columbus correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial writes:
The Supreme Court has decided that the
Banking Law of 1851 is in full force. 1t
was passed in the spring of 1851. Tho new
constitution took effect in the fall of 1851.
There was division of opinion whether
the constitution abrogsted the law or not.
The Steubenville Bank organized under the
now law, applied to auditor Morgan, after
the Constitution was in force, for notes of
issue. Tho auditor was disposed to grant
them, but thought best TO consult with At
torney General Pugh, who decided that the
Bank had no privileges except those it had
acquired under the law before tho constitu-
tion took effect; consequently, not having
applied for circulation, it could not now cx-
ercise that power. The present State Ad-
ministration did not agree with Attorney
General Pugh, but would not act against his
decision without judicial inquiry, and consc-
quently an amicable suit was brought be-
fore the Supreme Court. It was decided
yesterday. The decision is against Pugh
that tho constitution does not abrogate the
law, and that it is in full force. It is gen
eral law, and may be found in Swans stat
utes. The decision is unanimous The
Bench is good one FOR such decision.-
Bartley is an old line Democrat Brinker-
hoof and Swan arc free-soil Democrats, and
Scott and Bowen are Republicans, with
Wing antecedents. 1t is believed here that
the law given force by the Supreme Court,
will become the Banking Law of Ohio.
Tho following is the decision as reported {:
Citizens Bankof .Steubenvi7e, vs.. Fran
CTS L. Wright, AuditOr Of State.
BRrNKERHoFF, j., delivered the opinion
of the Court.
l. Where a bank organized under the
act of March 81, 1851, ''to regulate free
banking" has done and continues to do all
the acts necessary to perfect and maintain
its organization in pursuance of said act,
and has complied with the provisions there
of to entitle it to receive from the Auditor
of State notes of circulation, which the Au-
ditor of State refuses to furnish; and no
cause for such refusal being shown except
that he has doubts as to the constitutional
ty of said act, the writ of mandamus is the
proper remedy.
2. The second, third and seventh section
of the thirteenth article of the Constitution
of 1851 are prospective, and not RETROSPECT
tive, in their intent and application.
8. The act of March 81, 1851, 30 regu-
late free banking" is not inconsistent with
the Constitution of 1851, and is not there
fore, by implication, repealed by it.

THE SLAVE TRADE.


This accursed traffic is sought to be re-
vved. Already one Southern Governor
has urged it upon the attention of his State
Legislature. In the late Southern Com
mercial Convention, men were found to ad-
vocate this internal business. This would
be only another step for the black de-
mocracy in their slavery extension policy
A resolution was introduced into the House
of Representatives, condcmning the slave
trade as inhuman, immoral and execrable.
Agaiast tbs resolution majority of Mr.. Bu-
chanan's supporters, in the House, Voted
1t was however passed. Another resolution
was Immediately offered which pronounced
the project for re-opening the slave trade
" inexpedicnt! unwise and contrary to the
settled policy of the United States" Fol
this resolution the democracy could vote
They would not say the trade is immoral
inhuman and execrable," but they could say
it is inexpedient and unwisc." All yes
We know what that means; it may be in
expedient and unwise TO reopen the slav'
trade now, but it may be wise and expedi
ent in the opinion of these black Democrat
demagogues year or two hence. Howey
er, we have no fear of the re-opening of tn
slave trade. Douglas d Co. would be will
ing enough to do it to serve a political enc
but the late campaign has left wholesom
fear of the power of the republican part,
that will not be forgotten.
