The Richmond South is in great glee because,
as it states, an advertisement of one Raglan at
Mobile of q runaway slave, copied into Mrs.
Stoves Key to Uncle Toms Cabin, has been the
means of the capture and return of the negro to
slavery. The Joke seems to be all the more keenly
enjoyed by THE South because the negro is so near
iy white as to be mistaken for q white man, and
has left a white wife in Pennsylvania. The salts
S1uth, is very much enhanced if white blood
predominates in him, and we conclude the en-.
s%lavement of free white men would give Tile
South the most unalloyed qualification Kentucky

REFoRM IN CRIMINAL LAw.-L0rd Campbell is
about to introduce into the British Parliament a
bill dispensing with the practice of requiring
unanimous verdict from a jury. lie does not pro-
pose the majority principle, but he wishes to get
rid of the tampering with a jury by placing one
man upon it to hold out against all the others.
lie desires that if, after certain deiiberation by
the jury, they all agree except one or two, the
verdict shall be ,as binding as of the whole
twelve, subject, however, to be reviewed,
and il necessary set aside. This would tend
completely to break up the practice OF
packing juries, or increase the risks. by making
it necessary to bride moro than one of the jurors.
