A VIRGINIA SLAVE CANNOT ELECT TO BE
FREE.-A Virginia gentleman, John l.. Poin-
dexter, left in his will provision giving to GER
tain slaves the option of being emancipated or
publicly sold, as they might choose. The legal
ity of this clause in the will was contested, and
at the last term of the Supreme Court of APP
peais, the Court decided that the provisions Of
Will giving to slaves the option, at the death
OF life tenant, of being emancipated or sold,
are void the slaves having no legal capacity to
make such election; that slaves have no social
or civil rights; no legal capacity to make, dis
charge or assent 10 contracts.

JUDGE DoUGLAs.-Thc Washington Star
says that Judge Douglas has recently Invested
his family of the palpabe interest in " the pc
culiar institution" and the star sees in this fact
unerring evidence that the Little Giant" is
getting ready to be the Republican candidate
for the Presidency in 1850. The Star virtually
confesses that if Douglas were looking to the
Democracy for favor, he would have held on to
the ringers" Democracy and niggers" sre
indissolubly united.

Sound PRoPHEsy.-The New Orleans Bee.
in glancing at the elections which have taken
place this spring, says
Truly, the Kansas measure has proved a
disastrous blow to the South. Intended, as its
advocates proclaimed, to settle the question of
slavery, and quiet agitation, it has generated re-
newed discord, strengthened freesoi, and hope
lessiy divided the only party that claimed an
odor of nationality
We are afraid that these spring elections are
portents of gloomicr tidings hereafter Weap-
prehend that Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and In
diana, which by unrivalled tact and unwearied
eNertion were saved in 1856 from falling into
freesoil quagmire will return to their wallow,
and that before the expiration of the present
year every non,slaveholding State in the Union,
with the possible exception of California, will
rally under the victorious standard of black Re-
publicanism."

nably corrupt system Of governing the city now
in use may be reformed There were present
besides his Honor, City Inspector Morton,
Street Commissioner Cooper, Comptroller Flsgg
ana Myndert Van Schaick, President Of the Gro
ton Department; the Corporation Counsel being
absent. The session lasted about half an hour,
and no details were entered upon and
no reporter admitted. IL was agreed
that similar meeting should be held
every Wednesday in future In order to talk
over the affairs Of their several departments,
put their heads together, compare notes, and
devise various plans whereby harmony of
action may be preserved in the different
branches Of the city government. Whether
these cogitations will result In improving the
present method Of governing us, or whether
they will merely enable these gentlemen to
study each others character, find out the weak
points, and thus facilitate them in lodging each
other and evading their several responsibilities,
time will tell. There lie no doubt that the idea
of frequent consultation is very good one, di
vided as the city government is into so many

THE MAYOR AND THE GAMBLING DENs-OB-
sTRUcTioSs TO REFoRM.-Gieat complaints are
made against the police for inefiicency, aud no
doubt in many cases these complaints are well
founded. The fact must not, however, blind US
to the causes to which this lsdty Of discipline
Il but too often to be attributed. II is but lit.
tie use, for instance, that policemen should ia.
dividually exhibit activity when their efforts, so
far from meeting approval, are certain to bring
upon them the censure of their supcriors. The
circumstances attending the descent Of the
Mayors squad on the gambling houses on Tues
day night show how difficult tits for policeman
TO p form his duty with any degree of satisfae-
ton. After forcing their way into, and arresting
a number Of the professional gamblers Assem-.
bled in these haunts Of vice. the whole proceed
ing was defeated by the interference Of Police
Justice and Police Commissioner, who without
any examination, ordered the release Of num-
Der Of the delinquents. 1t 10 to the credit of one
of the police captains that be resisted as long as
be could this Wholesale disposal of cases which
should have been subjected TO the forms of
preliminary inquiry. II Is obvious that the ex-
ertions made by the Mayor to break up all
these gambling haunts will be attended with but
little success II they are to he neutralized by
the authority of officials who are Influenced
by their personal sympathies. Police Justices
and Aldermen should be cautious how they
nterpose hastily in cases which are under the
INN date supervision of the chief magistrate,
and for the proper disposal of which he is re-
sponsible. The Police Commissioners have no
magisterial power at all to dismiss complaint
of this character. Under the ninth section Of
the Metropolitan Police act they are empower
ed to instruct the General Superintendent to
enter and, If necessary, to force his way into
gaming houses, and to arrest the parties found
assembled there; but this done, the act directs
that the delinquents shall be brought before
magistrate and dealt with according to the
usual forms of law. In the recent proceedings
these forms seem to have been oiiciously and
enormously interpreted by Police Justice, and
altogether dispensed with by one of the Police
Commissioners. Whatever may be the motives
that have influenced these functionaries, the re-
suit is that the parties arrested have escaped
punishment, and that the law has been rendered
completely nugstory. Under such circum-
