The Juiy ConFl- Shcrig's Tax,

The Justices were summoned for the Purpose
Of hearing the case aud all were in attend
anco on Monday last The case excited
much interest aud the Court House was
thronged with listeners during the discussion,
this was opened on the part of the Com

and able Prosecuting Attorney who, tho
labo!9as under great physical debility, yet
iuade mastery and powerful speech in OPP

at the request Of the Colonel, who stated
that lie desired Mr. NJ to do 50, for Two
reasons-hi his own indisposition and Mr.. Ms
connection With the office of Prosecuting
Attorney at the time Of The imposition Of
the tax. Mr. Niche argued the questions
involved with great ability. Col. Baldwin
and II. W. Shelley, Esq, appeared for the
securities, and managed the cause with great
ingenuity. The case, however, was decided
ia the negative. by an Overwhelming vote

disscntcd ~ this instance from his colleagues,

the propricty of the tax, yet he did think
there were circumstances attending the case
which would have justified an abatement of
a portion of the interest, and the shape in
which the question was presented for final
decision, compelled him to dissent.

ENGLAND Advocating Slavery,

4 remarkable proposition has recently
been discussed good deal in England. 1t
is "a project for the importation of native
Africans into the West India Islands to
supply, by an enforced servitude of 10 years,
that deficiency Of labor of which the landed
proprietors have 80 much reason to com
plain" This deficiency, it may be remark
ed, says The Baltimore Patriot, is result
Of the emancipation Of the slaves formerly
held in those islands They contain nu-
mcrous free negroes, but they arc a mass of
yagabonds-t lazy to work, and not too
proud 70 beg, nor too honest to steal AS
negroes without masters will not work, and
as the British West India Islands have con-
sequently become comparatively worthless,
the British are now trying to devise some
means of restoring to them the state ofpros-
pcrity which they enjoyed before the slaves
were set free.
The London Times the great exponent
Of public sentiment IN England thus out
lines the project
eve should rejoice, therefore, to see the
recent suggestion of certain active philan
thropsts carried into effect, and a legitimate
supply of labor established by proper COM
munications between Africa and the West
Indies BE it remembered that there is no

Horrible Murder in IIIin0is---A Mother

fgtrc INV, srate
70 WI INTO Eh0 W ater,,


A few days since VIC published an account
Of the discovery of several dead bodies float
ing III the Illinois river, near Meredosia =
Some particulars have since transpired, tend
ing TO relieve the affair of the mystery in
which it was involved, and to induce be-
lief that the mnrderers may yet be arrested
as the police at last accounts were on their
track, and but days journey behind them.
The Morgan (Illinois) Journal of July IS,
says:
~ fisherman on the river, below Boards
town, says that on the list of May, two men,
a woman, and three children came to his
house and stopped for the night. The men
hired to cut wood for Mr. Briggs, and the
whole party occupied shanty on the west
side of the river, in the lower edge of Schuy-
Ter county. On the evening of the murder,
the men purchased two jugs of liquor, say
ing that they were to have 'frolic.' On
the evening of the Goth, about / 1 o'clock,
two men, who were fishing in the vicinity of
this shanty, heard = cry of murder from a
woman, but it soon ceased They after
wards heard one of the children exclaim,
Pap, don't kill me- They seemed to have
made no effort to interfere or investigate the
affair, as they report that they soon heard a
splash in the river, and then all was still
No one was to be seen on the following day.
The body of the woman was found about
one mile above Mcredosia, and was brought
to that place for the purpose of holding an
inquest. She is described as being about
twenty-five years old, about five feet high,
with dark brown hair, and full set of teeth.
She bore marks of violence upon her breast
aud body; her neck was dislocated, and Il
cord was drawn three times around it, to
which was attached a heavy sad iron skillet
lid, weighing together about twelve pounds.
Sic WAS perfectly destitute of clothing,
sheet bcing wrapped around her, and tied at
the feet and around the neck. The verdict
Of the jury was. that she was murdered by
some person or persons unknown.
The children are described as lst, little
sirl about ten years old; ID, boy six, and
Sd, boy four years old. OF these the two
eldest only have been found, though it is
probable the youngest ch'ld shared the fate
