Fugitive slave Case ia Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 4.-About eight DAYS
since, the agents of Dr. Vahlaudigham of
Frankfort, Ky. captured fugitive slave at
Naples, Ill When en- route to Kentucky the
negro was taken, under writ Of ha6eas cor
pus, before Judge Wallace, who liberated
him. He was Immediately re-arrested and
taken before U. S. Commissioner Rea, who.
after hearing the case, decided that the negro
should go back again into slavery. He was
again re-arrested on writ issued by Judge
Wallace, before whom some questions of State
sovereignty are now being discussed. 1t is
claimed by the negro's counsel that he is free
under the fugitive slave law and bred Scott

Meanwhile, DR.. Vahlandigham has been ar
rested, on the affidavit OF the negro, for kid

lucky as, Miller and others, has been closed.
The several prisoners accused by Miller of the
murder of Craddock have been discharged.
Miller's testimony occupied two days. The
defendants, save Miller, severally introduced
testimony proving an alihi and good charac-

as unworthy of belief. District Attorney Craig
moved for the commitment of Miller on the
charge of perjury, but the Justice replied that
he was already held on the charge of murder,

PROPOSED Revival OF TIE AFRICAN SLAVE
TRADR.-The committee of the aSouth Carolina
Legislature have submitted their report upon that
portion Of the Governors message which relates
to slavery, in which they strongly urge the poll
cy of re-opening the slave trade The resolu-
tons adopted in support of their views, are:
l. That the chief and almost entire produce
tive industry Of the slayeholding States is agri-
culture F; to the successful prosecution of which
che labor Of negro slaves is indispensably neces-
sary.
2. That there is great and growing deficiency
ofagrcuitural labor in the sad States, which the
natural increase Of the slave population is made
quaie to supply.
8. That the effect of prohibiting the impoIta-
ton Of slaves from abroad is to limit the expan-
sion Of the productive industry of the said States
aud of the population which that industry sus-
tains to the ratio Of the natural increase Of the
slave population.
4. That the importation of slaves from abroad
would accelerate the development Of the agricul-
tural resources Of the slayeholdinC States and
promote their progress in wealth. population, and
general improvement, and that such importation
carried on under proper regulations, would not
De inconsistent with the principles of justice and
humanity.
.. That the effect of an entire suppression of
the African slave trade would be, to confne the
negroes 20 their own country, and preclude them
from such means Of relief from the pressure Of a
redundant population as might be afforded by en-
igration in the only form ia which its benefits
can be extended to them.
The concluding resolution argues that the Act
of Congress declaring the African slave trade to
be piracy if it be understood as affirming that it
is piracy, 10 the nature Of things and in the
OF the constitution, affirms what is untrue and
inasmuch as it purports and intends to convert
into piracy what is not so in the nature of things
and in the sense Of the Constitution, the said act
is unconstitutional and void"
As the national administration sides with South
Carolina on the Kanzas matter, it is natural to
suppose it will side with her on this project to
reopen the foreign slave trade.

AN INCIDENT IN THE CAREER OF TUCKER.
MANI was fact often noticed BY those
who came in contact with Mr.. Tuckerman,
before the discovery of his great fraud upon
the stockholders ofthe Eastern Railroad, that
1t was almost impossible for HIM to keep still
for any great length OF time. If he arrived at
a depot before the starting time of the cars,
he wandered TO and fro about the platform,
hardly ever giving himself moments rest,
The sting Of guilty conscience was evidently
at work, and had taken away his peace of
MUD forever. So it was in the train he
would wander from one car to another, sitting
down for moment. and then jumping up, as
if the stiffness which brought reflection was
intoerable. Upon one occasion this was es-
pecielly remarkable. 1t was the day that
brought TO light the operation of Mr. Smith
Robinson, an officer of the Eastern road, who
took bag Of gold from the car of the Express
Messenger, and was afterwards caught in the
act Of counting the money.
Mr.. Tuckerman was in one of the suburban
towns when the public became acquainted
with the facts, and in a state of evident ex-
element, made some inquiries of friend in
regard to the arrest and subsequent develop.
ments. His informant finished his statement
with some reflections upon the act. That a
man llhe'Vht' IloDuSoh, nolulng 1als posi-
ton in society, in the receipt of salary suf-
tcent to meet all his wants, and also, in ad-
dition thereto, in the possession of moderate
competency, should risk all-reputation Of
fee, friends,-for the sake of that bag of gold,
seemed to him incomprehensible. Little did
the speaker imagine that at his side was one
who had thrown away even brighter pros.
poets and higher position, to plunge in
crime almost to the bottom. 1t was apparent
to him, even then, that Mr.. Tuckerman was
greatly excited, but it vas supposed that it
was owing to feeling of regret that one who
had held a position Of trust on the road,
should so demean himself The disclosures
which followed gave different explanation of
the matter.-Boston Trareler.
