CAS SLAVERY GO INTO A FREE STATE =
The third question Mr.. Lincoln presents is
this: If the Supreme Court of the United
States shall decide that State of this
Union cannot exclude slavery from its own
limits, will I submit to il. Now I am
amused that Mr.. Lincoln should ask such n
question. IA school boy would know
better As a school boy would know
better, gentlemen, the object OF that ques-
ton is to cast an imput;ltion on the Su-
preme Court. Mr.. Lincoln knows there
was never but one man in America claim
ing any degree of intelligence or decency,
who ever for momen, pretondsd tn that
doctrine. 1t is true that the Washington
Union, in an article published on the l7th
of last December, did put forth that doc
trine, and it was in reply to that article
in the Union that denounced the Washing
ton UiHon in the Senate last year in the
speech which Mr.. Lincoln now pretends was
against the President. The Union had put
forth the doctrine that slavery had q right
to GO into the free States, and that any pro-
vision in the Constitution or laws OF the
free States of the country was null and void.
| denounced it on the Senate floor. was
the first man that did denounce it. .f

IL WILLIAM STREET,
New York, March, 1857.
At the request Of the President and BoaId of Di-
rectors Of the knickerbocker Life Insurance Com
pany, certify that the mode Of computing present
value of the Policies employed by the Secretary Of
the Company is scientifically correct, and in ac-
cOrdance with the prescriptions Of the charter. I
also certify, that have compared the list of poll
cis furnished me by the President as ON the books
Of the Company with valuation tables sufficiently to
test the uracy Of the results given by the Secrc-
tary. and find the values stated within to be
merically correct That l. to say, the present val
Of the future risk of the Office ON all outstanding
policies, the difference between the present value
Of future premiums to be paid them is a67 l9
The total value Of policies, the holders of which
are entitled to dividends, Is SIS, ,227 02.
And IL the surplus Is correctly stated at 71 l2 Il,
the difference between this and the present value Of
the future risk Of the Company existing policies,
after deducting 10 per cent of il for the relief fund.-
Is the proper amount for dividend to-wt: S246l091.
The true principle Of dividend is to assign to each
policy holder who has insured on the mutual plan
share proportionsd to the present value of his poll
cy, which il the true value of his interest stock
holder of the Company. This share amounts to 10
per cent of the present value Of the policy.

A NOBLE WFE.-Mr Walsh, in his Paris let
ter of Aug. %, to the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce, writes as follows: " In 1919 benevo-
lent gentleman, NJ. de Montyon, bequeathed an
annual sum of 10000 francs as premium at
the disposal of the Academy, for the poor
French individual who had in the year perform
ed the act most vrtuous or morally creditable.
1t was adjudged last week to peasant, Mime
Durand, of the Department OF Vaucluse, for
this exemplary conduct. Her husband was ac-
cused of capital crime and arraigned at the
Assizes; he was acquitted with difficulty, and
by small majority Of the jury. The wife sus.
tanned him devotedly during the trial and in
sisted on his innocence; she resolved to find the
real culprit or culprits; she persevered in her
search for seven years; she discovered them,
aud had them brought to justice. Their con-
viction fulfilled her purpose, which was to re-
establish the character Of her husbard-the
true amende for an honest man. The good
woman will be passing rich with 10000 francs.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-12-15
Txe New Aan,.ssen Mines.

We extract the following from an article
which appeared in the San Jose Tribune, and
which was written by an old resident Of Santa
Clara county. 1t contains some very interest
ing facts not elsewhere published since the
commencement Of the quicksilver dIscussion,''
"There is no question of the day, in which
this city has more interest than in that of the
New Almaden mines not only on account of
the pecuniary loss caused by the stoppage Of
the works, where upwards of $4,000 were paid
out for wages every month, but also from the
sympathy for the present owners.
"The Almaden Company claim by title ae-
quired under the old Mexican Mining Ordnan-
ces. Andres Castillero discovered the niue in
the year 1915, and at once denounced or re-
gstOred it before the Alealde. Possession was
given to him by the Aloalde, and ever since,
he, and those claiming under him, have been
In possession. These facts are well known to
all the old inhabitants Of this vicinity; they
have been duly proved in court.
The Almaden Company also claim under o
grant of land to Castillero by the Supreme Go,
vernment of Mexico, given when the acts OF
the Alcalde were confirmed by them. This
grant was not acted on by the authorities of
Upper California, as the war with the United
States had broken out, and every thing was in
confusion. Whether, under the circumstances,
this grant will hold good, is question for the
courts.
1.-The charges of fraud, forgery, and ante
dating, brought against the titles to the mine,
are based upon the testimony Of James Alex
ander Forbes, of Santa Clara. His connexion
with the affair has been singular. He has
sworn, in the case of Forbes VS.. Walkinshaw,
that the titles are genuine; he has since declar-
ed the reverse.
81 am not versed in all the evidence given in
the case-the facts above stated are, however,
Of public notoriety here"
The writer also states " that upwards of
S360,O00 was spent by the Company in deve
oping the mine, before they realized q dOllar
in return"
The article from which the above is taken,
comes to the following conclusion:
"The fact Of the matter is that the richness
of the mine has aroused the cupidity of great
number of unprincpled men, who, by making
a camor here, by enllsting in their cause pro-
mnent men both here and in the East and by
the liberal use of those appliances which un-
scrupulous monied men are accustomed to EN-.
ploy, have so succeeded in mystifying and
befogging the subject as to induce the present
action of the court and the ruinous policy il
has adopted for their qualification; policy not
merely affecting the litigants in this case but
involving in its lamentable effects hundreds, If
not thousands of our citizens"
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-12-15

WORTHY OF NoTE.-The Supreme Court on
the 4th inst, all the. Judges concurring, decided
in the case of the People, on the relation Of
Raun and Plant, against the Supervisors Of El
Dorado county, that "county warrants acquire
no greater validity in the hands of third par
ties than they originally possessed in the hands
of the first holders, no matter for what consd-
GRAFTON they may have been transferred. or in
what faith they may have taken. If illegal
when issued they are illegal for all time. The
protection which attends the purchaser Of ne
gotiable paper before maturity, without notice
Of the ilegality of its consideration, does not
extend to like purchasers Of county warrants.
We're this otherwise it is easy to see that the
county would be entirely at the mercy of the
Board A transfer Of the warrant, no matter
how illegal the claim for which it was issued,
would leave the county remedess"

A PERuOus FEAr-A young man, about
eighteen years old, q workman on the repairs
at the Universalist Church, Cambridgeport,
exhibited, on Saturday last, a feat of the most
reckless daring The staging for the new
steeple has reached an altitude Of one hundred
and twenty-five feet, and is composed Of four
inch boards. The distance between these up
rights is about ten feet, and in going from one
to the other, the edge Of the board has to be
traversed. The workman referred TO, having
occasion to 90 from one post TO another, and
deliberately, without any assistance, walked
across on the narrow edge Of the board. The
least deviation would have caused him to fall,
and from that height the result can be antici-
pated.- -Ne,cbarypor (hass.) Herald.

A FORTUNE FOR AARON Burns DAUGHTER.--
An ilegitimate daughter Of Aaron Burr, and
residuary legatee, comes curiously into for
tune, in this way Burr held lease from
Trinity Church of the Riehmond Hill property,
three or four hundred lots in the center Of New
York, for sixty-six years. He released the
land for sixty three years to Astor and others,
and their lease expires in 1860. The lease for
three years then belongs to Burr's daughter,
and the claim is indisputable and the value of
the lease very great. Already several Of the
lessees have compounded the claim for from
81, 500 to So, 900 each. At this rate the lady
will realize some 100000.

A MARITAL QUEsToS.-At recent sitting OF

A NORTH POLE ExPEDTION.-At a late meet

eiety in behalf OF the object. The letter was
accompanied by the report Of the Academy
of Natural Sciences OF Philadelphia on the
same subject. The matter, on motion Of Prof.
