SELLING A MAN AT AUCTION IN ILLINOIs.-The
Sheriff Of St. Clair county advertises a negro man
for sale at public auction, he being guilty of the
"high misdemeanor" Of having come into the State
Of Illinois and remaining there for ten days, for
which offence he was fined $50, as provided by the
Black Law of 1858, and in default of paying which
fine, the Sheriff of the county in which he was found
is directed to sell him to any body willing to pay
the $50 This is practical abolition philanthropy
they desire the liberation of the slaves in the
South and that the South shall them support them.

The Projected REMOVAL OF CORONER Con-
NERY.-t 1t will be remembered that On lhe. close
Of the Burdell inquest, Mr.. Clinton, Mrs. Gun
ningham's counsel, preferred charges against
Coroner Conpery, and transmitted them to the
Governor, soliciting that he be removed from the
Office he holds Coroner Counery followed the
charges to Albany to make his defence; and We
are given to understand that, on hearing what be
had to say, Governor King inclined to the belief
that the charges against Nm were frivolous, and
apparently got up by the counsel of the parties
accused Of murder in order to divert public n
ton from the great question Of their guilt or in
nocence by introducing new collateral issue into
the pablo mind Still, as the charges were
formally made. and as the party accused was
rather anxious for fun and complete acquittal,
Governor King thought il best to direct tnat the
matter should be made the subject Of legal and
public inquiry. The papers were therefore trans
mitted to the District Attorney Of this city, by
whom proceedings will shortly be taken TO try
before one Of the Judges, in the usual and legal
form, whether Coroner Counery was or was moi
guilty Of illegal acts In the inquest he held on thu
body Of Harvey Burdell Thus In few days
this all absorbing Burdell case will again come
before the public in q new shape. It is to be
hoped that the public will not be diverted from
the main question Of the discovery Of the foul
murderer Of Budell by any side questions of
trivial Importance.
