ANOTHER FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE.

-
Cincinnati was the theatre of another bloody
and successful slave hunt on Saturday last. The
representatives of the United States Government
who figured in this affair, were in part tho same
whose case is now on trial before Judge Leaviat in
that city. The Gazette Of the 18th gives the fol-
lowing particulars:
Week before last, two slaves, man and wife,
named irwin and Angelina Broaddus, the proper
ty OF Col. CA. Withers, a we'll known resident of
Covington, ~, and the superintendent of the Gov
ington and Lexington Railway, escaped from their
master, and were not heard of until intelligence
was received last Friday that they were hidden
somewhere in this city. United States Deputy
Marshals Churchill, Anderson, Woodward, Elliott,
Lowe and Carly, were ON the alert, and on Satur.
day morning learned that the slaves were conceal
ed in room No.l8,in the fifth story of Judge Taft's
building, on Vine street, just above Fourth. The
FIRST story of this building is occupied by Bly's
chronological Bookstore, aud Duncan and Inne's
periodical establishment;the second by Judge Piatt
and others as law offices, in one of which, rented
ed and used by YIN. NJ. Connolly for some months
past a local reporter for the Daily Commercial Of
this city, the negroes were secreted.
"To this apartment the U. S. Marshal proceeded
anu lOunu NO.. 10 lOCReu. AIter KNOCKING at tne
door and obtaining no answer, one of the posse, Jno.
c. Elliott, climod up and peeped through the tran.
som, and said the negroes must be inside, for he
saw their dinner, Ia number Of dishes containing
food were on a table in the apartment). lie then
crept partly through the aperture over tie door
and exclaimed. "Iere they are!" (the negroes it
seems were in a small apartment adjoining the
main one, )and Immediately after half fell and half
leaped back, saying he was stabbed.
SAT this moment the door was burst open reveal
ing the negro armed with a sword cane, and q piss
tol was fired by one of the party, wounding the
slave, who fell to the floor. He was Immediately
leaped upon by the Marshals, and though he made
a stout resistance, was disarmed and bound.
1.-The wound of the Marshal is in the left breast
Just above the heart, and Of the negro in the abdo
men. Both of them are seriously injured, and it
was thought. on Saturday they would die, but at
a late hour last night, they were improving, and
the probability was they would recover.
"The Slaves were taken back to Coyington with
out the least opposition after a satisfactory hearing
of the case before u. S. Commissioner Newkirk,
by whom o warrant was issued for the arrest of
Connelly, who has NOT been seen in the city since
Friday night. Several u. s. Marhals went in pur-
suit of him on Saturday evsning-with what sue
cess has not yet been learned"
The two last cases of fugitive slave.hunting in
Ohio exhibit a new zeal on the part of the Govern
7 ment officers. Heretofore with one or two excep-
) tons they have been content with seizing or har.
RAISING the poor ~fugitives. Now with a detemina-
ton to crush out their friends, they are prosecuting
them with legal penalties. Mr.. Connolly is pursu-
: eG like q felon for his act of humanity in giving
shelter to this husband and wife in their efforts to
, secure their liberty. Well let it 60 on. The exc
. cution of the fugitive law upon the whites, is the
s~peediest method of arousing them to the true rem.
