The KAILOCH CAsE-WHO CONES NExT?-
The results of the late trial of the Rev. Mr.. Kali
loch at Boston present some of the sublimest
features Of cool and daring impudence and pitiful
delusion that we have read or heard of since the
wonderful times of old Cotton Mather. Here
we have three or four credible witnesses testify
ing directly to the criminal proceedings which
they witnessed between this reverend shepherd
ard one of the pet lambs of the fold; and yet he
finds a jury to whitewash him, and faithful
flock who rush to his rescue and resolve that he
is as innocent as child, and as clean in his high
Office as the Apostle Paul.
This is ahead of the grand glorifcatiou at
Ninety-Six, in South Carolina, last summer, in
honor of Chevalier Brooks aud his savage assault
upon Senator Sumner; for in that jubilee 1t was
only an act of fierce ruianism that was glorified
as an act of patriotism, but in this disgusting
business at Boston the reverend drinker of whis-
key sings and the adulterer is exalted by his
church as a model Of temperance and as perse
cuted angel of purity. Well, II is only in Massa-
chusetts, South Carolina, Old Virginia and Utah
that the sublime effrontery of their chivalry and
their saints can astonish the rest of the world.
What q prophet! what shining light in
the tabernacle would Brother Kalloch be
at the Great Salt Lake! A handsome
man, shrewd and learned man, young man,
a bold man, a dashing ladies' man, he might as
pire among the Mormons to the sceptre, the
harem and the gift of tongues of the terrible
Brigham Young. Have not the Mormous mis-
sionary or 30 among the Gentiles of Massachu-
settss Hot whiskey. too in spite ofthe liquor law

Wonderful people, those Boston puritans of the
Baptist persuasion. Can't we have a sermon

THE HARBoR ENCOURAGEMENT BIL.-As this
measure has passed the Senate, and is iu q fair
way Of being adopted by the other branch Of our
State Legislature, it may be expected saOa to be-
come law Should it pass in its present form
It win put fna! stop to those encroachmsnts
which have been going on for many years past
and which, if not prevented By legislative enact
ments, would have seriously interfered with the
commerce and navigation of our harbor.
The Legislature some years ago conferred GER
tain powers upon the Common Council of New
York, authorizing them to make grants of water
privileges to the ripsrians or owners of water
lots on the East and North rivers, wherever and
whenever the interests of commerce might be
benefited by the granting of such privileges
These grants were somewhat loosely worded, and
the riparisns took advantage of this fact to ex-
tend tbeir piers beyond the limits to which they
were prescribed Not satisfied with their privi-
leges, they ran out piers far beyond the boundary
line, and one owner filled in over three thousand
square yards, the land thus made being convert
ed into city lots and sold for his owa especial be-
neft- There is also large spsce--between four
and five acres-which was taken off the North
river, at the end Of Washington market, and on
which market sheds have been erected. In both
these cases the State will undoubtedly claim the
property thus made, and IL is confidently EXPECT
cd will be able TO recover it,
The riparians persuaded the Comm mon Council
to pass an ordinance which would have the effect
of narrowing the channel opposite the reef off the
south end of Blackwell's Island to four hundred
and fifty feet. and extending their water privi-
lege to the same length beyond the Commission
eIs' boundary line. By this extension the bulk
heads would be run out into fifty feet water, ren-
dering it utterly impossible to construct piers
But this was not ALL for as large vessels require
at least three thousand feet to turn iu they would
be prevented by this encroachment from passing
this point in the East river. If this should not
be checked the large area of water known as
Kpp's Bay will be, in course of time, completely
filed in, and thus one of the most secure harbors
for the coasters bound up the Sound will be lost
to the port.
In their report the Commissioners recommend
the construction of basins similar to those of Lou
don and Liverpool, instead of piers and docks
such as now line our rivers.

The New CONSTITUTION oY MExIcO-AN Ex-
TRAoRDrNARr PSovIsIoN.-The Mexican republic
has solemnly adopted q new constitution. We
give q summary Of some of It's most remarkable
provisions elsewhere in our columns. Il declares
in its second article that all persons born in the
republic of the Mexican United States are born
free, and that all slaves touching the Mexican
territory regain by that act their liberty, aud
have right to the protection of the laws So
far as this article goes we cannot aud do not
question the right of the people to declare this
principle in their constitution. But the fifteenth
article contains an extraordinary provision. It
is that NO treaty shall be celebrated by the re-
public for the extradition of political Offenders
or of those delinquents of the common order who
have held, in the country where the crime was
committed, the condition of slaves. 1t is the lat
ter part of this clause which strikes us as extra
ordinary. The constitution Of Mexico, solemnly
and deliberately adopted, thus makes an excep-
ton in favor of slave criminals over free crimi-
mails. 1t holds out an inducement to the slaves
of the contiguous slaves States to rob, pillage,
massacre and commit the most horrible offences,
by assuring them that if they only flee to the
Mexican territory they shall never be delivered
up to justice ,1f
While we do not question the right of every
people to form their own constitutions and e.
tablish their own laws, still there must he rar
tional limit to the exercise of that right. We
cannot recognise the extension of the principle
to the length of warranting one people to pro.
claim to the dsaffected classes of neighboring
people impunity for crimes of the highest order.
And that is virtually what Mexico has done. 1t
is not only an extraordinary provision, but it is
one fraught with immense danger to Mexico.

This cause came before the Jury on Monday last
The plaintiff claimed damages from the defendant for
the publication of n card published by the defendant
in September, 1855, IN the Martinsburg Republican,
Spirit OF Jefferson, aud Lynchburg Republican,
This card warned the public that the plaintiff WAS
mn imposter, and pronounced him, among other
terms, n liar, coward aud slanderer. The defendant
put in plea OF Justification
The case was argued before the Jury by Andrew
Hunter and And h Kennedy, for the Plaintiff and
by Hon. q. J. Faulkner, Robert Y Conrad and Henry
Hunter, for the defendant. The Jury were adjourned
I'll Tuesday morning, when, after few minutes con-
suaton, they returned into Coart with verdict for

character OF the palutn.
n. Il. During the session of Tuesday afternoon, n
motion WAS made by the defendants counsel for n.
new trial on this case, upon the ground OF the
slye damages named in the verdict and, upon tho
amdatits of several persons, that the defendant was
not worth $500. Upon this motion being made, tho
counsel for the plaintiff stated to the Court that they
were willing to abalc the verdict half but upon
the express understanding that they did concedc
th0t the verdict was IN any way excessive. Their
client desired nothing in the form OF money lie was
only anxious TO have his character fully sustained

decided manner, the reduction of the OF tho
