B6- Resolutions were introduced in.
To the South Carolina Senate on Satur-
day declaring that the Constitution OF
the United States contains no grant or
power to interfere with the commerce OF
foreign nations; therefore that all acts
of Congress purporting to prohibit the
slave trade between foreign countries
are unconstitutional, null, and void.--
Also, tina. the act Of Congress declaring
the slave trade piracy, inasmuch as it
proposes to convert into piracy that
which is not so in the very nature of
things, or in the sense of the Constitu-
ton, is unconstitutional, null, and void.

An Editor and others Indicted for Libel

We understand that Mr.. James Cor.
don Bennett has been indicted by the
Grand Jury Of Wcslchestor county for
a libel on the Hon. John b. IIaskin-
said libel consisting OF point. blank
charge in the columns Of the Herald
that Mr. Ilaskin had materially and
willfully altered the record of tho evi.
dencc taken before the Wiletls Point
Investigating Committee, whereof Mr..
ii. was Chairman. The charge was n
very gross one, and we think Mr.. Has
kin owed TO his own character and to
his constitucnts-whose good name
would also have been compromised by
his preparation of an act which was
in effect iorgery--to vndicate himself
from the broad accusation Of the Herald
and, MS he does not desire pccuna.
ry verdict, he has taken the only course
open to him. Should the charge DO
fully retractcd, even ut this late day, il
is not probable that the prosecution
would be pressed vindictively. Mr..
Heskin desires simply the complete vim
dication Of his own character, not the
injury even of one who has injured him.
We understand that Mr.. Bennett was
arrested in tho city yesterday and tn
ken To White Plains, where he was
doubtless liberated on bail.
Messrs. James J. Smalley, James ID.
Little and Edmund G. Sutherland, who
have made themselves busy, during the
late canvass, in assailing Mr.. Haskin's
personal integrity, have likewise re-
reived invitations to the captains office.
We arc not informed as TO the time at
which these indictments will DO tried.
but they will doubtless evoke a deep
and lively interest.--N y. Iribnne,
