The Law Of Slavery in the Old Times
- and in the New. ...

The source of the ceatral organ and
other pro.Slavery federal papers in sus-
tanning the doctrine now promul gated by
The federal courts, that the interests of
Slavery, and the immunity of slave catch
ers in running down their game transcen
ds and overrides the laws of our State,
and the great writ of liberty, the habeas
corpus, Is IN remarkable degree parallel
with the course pursued by the London
papers in the last century, which were in
the interest Of the Jamaica Merchants
and West indian planters. Up to the
time that lord Mansfield, in l772, made
his great decision, ithad been the practice
Of the English West Indian planters to
bring slaves with them to England as ser.
wants, and TO hold them in bondage.--
Several cases are on record where slaves,
escaping from their masters in London,
where afterwards caught, put in irons,
and placed on board vessels bound for
Jamaica and Barbados, and carried back
into slavery. Granville Sharpe, clerk
in the War Department, with heTOism
worthy of the best ages Of the world, was
the man by whose ability and frmness
the right to hold slaves in England, wa,
at length adjudicaled npon, and a judg
ment obtained from the highest Court II
the land, that property in man was no
acknowledged by the constitution an,
laws Of England, The case is an inter
esIing one and we propose to give brie
outline Of it. 1t is not without poin
here in Ohio, at the present day. i
"A negro named James Somerset wa
detained in irons on board a ship boun,

dropped the lozengcs while in a beaStly

We paid visit yesterday afternoon to

further inquiries relative 10 the poisining
Of the German children on Wednesday

Between twelve and one o'clock, yes.
terday, great excitement prevailed on
Buckeye street, by the announcement that
two Of the supposed poisoners had been
arrested. II appears that young Ger
man lad, who claimed to know the per-
son who distributed the arsenic lozenges,
pointed out man named Jacob SPACE,
who answered somewhat to the descrip-
ton given by Mrs. Geybaufer Of the man
whom she saw throwing the Lozenges
upon the sidewalk. SPACE was surroun-
ded, and fortunately, one Of the eleventh
ward policemen, came up and safely lodg-
eG him in the Bremen street Station
house. Shortly afterwards lad, named
John Wiley, about sixteen years old, was
pointed out as being the companion Of
SPACE and was also taken 10 the Station.

A large crowd Immediately gathered
in front of the Station-house, aud the
greatest excitement prevailed. Some two
hundred or more Germans gathered ant

ners and lynch them. But reinforce

were stationed in the house.
!. Upon an investigation Of the tnatte

ties having the lozenges being confronted
with the prisoners-it was discovered
that they were entirely innocent Of ih'
crime alleged against them. A portion
Of the crowd collected outside Of th,
Station.house, On being informed Of this
left the spot. but NJ mber remained, ev
identity believing the report ruse to dis
perse them. 1t was deemed advisable Il
retain the arrested parties Until night, il

and perhaps from being killed by tn
crowd that loitered about the station hous

Spage and Wiley were released and wer

a RRuTAL MnRnER.

A most shocking murder was commit
ed in our City on last Saturday, about
eleven o'clock. 1t appears that several
young men wen. down 10 the cofher OI
Market and High Streets, where part oI
them got into a fight with some lrishmen
who were al that place. In the meele.
Martin HalIorah one of the Irishmen was
struck on the head with a brick bat OF
stones the force of the blow fractured
his skull and from the effects of which he
died In about two hours. Coroner NJ I'm.
tyre was sent for on Sabbath morning. to
hold an inquest upon the body Of the de-
ceased, The jury were engaged until
Monday afternoon in taking testimony
and inVesligatingthe matter. They found
that the deceased came TO his death by a
blow inflicted by Henry Pratt. Pratt
was one of the men employed in the JEFF
ferson RolIing-mill. A warrant was is.
sued for his arrest on Sabbath morning,
but he has not yet been arrested. The
Sheriff has offered Reward of two hun
dred dollars for his arrest and conviction.
The deceased resided near Burgetstown
Pa, and was a man of ilreproachable
character. As an honest, upright and
peaceabe citizen no man could say aught
against him. He leaves wife and four
little daughters 10 mourn over his sad
fate. We hope that no effort will be
spared to bring the offenders 10 justice.
The exciting cause of this sad calamity
which has resulted in the murder of an
unofTcnding man and the bereavement
of helpless family is to be charged to
drunkenness, the fruitful source of nearly
all the misery and degradation with which
our city is cursed. We are not alone in
the impression that Pratt is not the only
man, who stands at least morally, il
not legally, implicated in this foul trans
action;

LIEUTENANT GovERENoR.--With all
due respect for the opinions and preferen-
ces of cotemporares Of the Republican
press, we have not heard Of the name of
any man mentioned in connection with
the office of Lieutenant Governor Of
Ohio, better adapted by nature and edu-
cation for that office, than our esteemed,
genllemanly and courteous fellow.towns-
man, General -Stokely. We should be
very much pleased, indeed, and we know
that The Republican voters of this section
Of the Stale would be-highly gratifed, if
the State Convention would place him in
nomination for that position. As Chair
man of the Senate, he would make dig
nifed and most excellent presiding off.
Ger. Should the Convention feel dispos-
ed TO nominate him, we hope it will not
be upon condition that he "sweat bar
rel" in the advocacy and defence Of the
Republican cause, during the campaign.
As anxious and much grati6ed as we
might be at the nomination Of General
Stokely, we have too much regard ior
him, personally, to consent to his noml-
