Fugitive Slave Case in California.

I! appears that MIR. G. A. Stovall, Of Missis,
sippi, went to California some time since for
the benefit Of his health, taking with him his
servant Archey. Archey, having left his mas,
ter, was brought before Judge Robinson, at
Sacramento, whose questions ne answered by
saying that he did not want to return to Mis-
sissippi After hearing testimony proving the
fact Of ownership, and the purpose for which
his master had Visited California, Judge Rob-
inson decided that Archey should be discharged,
on the ground that he was voluntarily brought
into the State by his master, and that his mas:
ter was citizen or St. ourner of the State.
Comfy would never be extended to the citizens
of another State when it would clash with the
laws CT a State or the rights of citizens, and
comfy could never be extended to strangers
beyond the rights and privileges allowed to it's
own citizens. Archey was re-arrested imme-
diatey, and the case will be carried up to the
Supreme Court of California.

porting the bill, and dissents from the majority,
reporting in favor Of an addition of five regi-

solved itself into Committee Of the Whole on

the floor, spoke upon the Kansas question. Ile
took bold ground for Lscompton, arguing that
a minority may rightfully establish Constitu-

speech was inpassioned in style, and attracted
the universal attention of the House.
Mr.. English, of Indiana, next obtained tie
floor, and, as Democrat proceeded to condemn

at times eloquent, manner. Mr. Phillips, OF
