PoYY EXPRESS s.-Mr. Geo. w. Browne
has sold out his Express business, and, we
regret to learn, contemplates removing from
the county-to San Francisco, we believe
Mr. Browne has been long and favorably
known in jackson and vicinity, and his nu-
merous friends will very much dislike to part
with him. As an Expressman, he has uni
formly conducted his business in straight
forward manner and with the quickest dis
ptcb and has deserved, as he has enjoyed,
the fall confidence of all. Success to him in
whatever pursuit he may engage.
Mr. Browne is succeeded by Mr.. J. G.
Shepard, an intelligent and industrious gen
tIeman, with whom we are well acquainted,
and whom we chcerfully and confidently rec
ommeud us in every way competent and
trustworthy. Mr.. S. will unquestionably be-
come popular with those who have Express
business to transact on his route.

Another bred Scott Case.

A case is about to be taken from the Su-
preme Court OF Illinois to, that of he Uni
ted STATES. which y Ill rive t!e latter bndy
a chance TO limit and define some OF The
loose points of the bred Scott d7cisiOn.-
The case is this. 4 mulatto man took
passage on the cars from Cairo to Chicago.
His Missouri master sued the road for the
full value Of the slave, for having aided his
escape. Tue decision of the Supreme
Cnult of Illinois, as delivered BY Jadge
Skinner, is: that the Constitution and laws
OF Illinois recognize all men within the
Site as free men; that slavery is an insti-
tuition OF mere local law in the States where
1t exists, which local law extends to no
other State; that the law of Miss"ur.under
winch the alleged slave is claimed by the
pl1iGtiff, has no force whatever in the State
of II inois, but IS .repugnant TO our laws"
and that. t .~erefore, the plaintiff "under the
law of Illinois, has no property in the tu-
gitive, and can here, under State authority.
assert no property in or authority over him"
The master, not being sat Sid by this de-
cisi n, and encouraged BY he extraordinary
privileges accorded TO slive property by the
Dred Scott decision, has appealed to the
United States Supr me Court. This will
give Judge Clifford an opportunity to pay
for his place, and display his legal inge-
nuity in the discovery of a defense for a
new application of the bred Scott decision.

a conferterance with the committees OF the
two Honses. by whom the bill had been re-
ported, | proposed to sign the bill, prOriGsd
they would insert in it a section authorizing

indicated. But they distinctly informed M
hat the bill met the appreciation Of their
f. iendS an the South that 1t ucQs mol tieir IN
tentiOn The Constitution should euer BE- submit
ted TO The people, and that 10 al! inients and
purposes il was like the laws of the VI de-
and Persians, and could not be altered. Upon
the vital principle OF submission alone the
bill was vetoed, and it row affords me DO

Mr.. EDITOR: Your people must be ex
ceedingly proud of the very respectful and
gentlemanly % notice given by one U: the
St. ClairsvilIe papers of the Address in favor
of moving the county seat TO Bellaire. Their
course mus, be very weak indeed if ii can
only cry CUT "liar"-"liar," to every argu
ment of an opponent.
Who does the paper in question charac-
rerize as falsifers, Some of the very best
men in our county-men who have not a
penny'4 worth ofinterest in he building up of
Rellaire. The men whose names are sp-
pended @ that address, ! presume, gave it
the sanction of their approval before their
nau es were fixed to it. Not SO, however,
with the address o! the St. Ciairsville Com
miitee. If an unscrupulOus paper can with
impunity Islander cur best citizens, merely
because they express an opinion on any
question, then are things coming 10 a great
pass That address is ably written, | think
ard is repleie with sound argument, and
iacls,-facts, too, that will not only be
believed, and remembered, bat which Will
put the stamp of lalsity on the silly but
effective charge which emanated from the
press alluded to above, that the eUunty
buildings will est Sl50.000.
How was the address Of your Committee
received by the Belllire press! 1t appeared
in the Era. inserted c0nspicuIously, and
without any previous Prejudicial remarks in
reference 10 It's truth or fal-ity. Observe
the contrast!
write OF this matter Mr.. Editor, not that
| feel directly interested in the building up
CI.irsviile, but because | desire the improve
melt Of the south eastern part of the county
We have long been far from the county
seat down here in little York, and | fee
considerable interest ia bringing her nearer
the centre. We are almost n unit here in
favor of the move, since we are satisfied
OF its actual cost. We did attach consid-
cradle importance 10 the Sl50 eco charge,
but we are now thoroughly convinced OF its
aksurditv. Another reason why desire lis
removal 10 Bellaire, is this: Bellaire is
destined-county seat, Or no County seat
to lie a .od business point. When our
people 90 to the county seat they would pre-
fer going to y point here t: ey can trans
act some other business, thus, to use a
familiar term, "kl:ing two birds vita enc

tion, 'almo>t, make periodical visits 10 Vince

articles, snd to dispose of their produce
now ii this business could be transacted
