sHISGToN HEIGHTs-THE LAYING Our or
THE GRovND.-We perceive that a committee of
the Assembly has reported in favor Of the secoud
pro! ositiOn of the property owners on Washing
Ton Heights, which We had supposed was abau-
doncd, though better one than the first propo-
sition, which did not name the Commissioners.
The second ought 10 be rejected as we'll as the
first and the principal owners of the land are Of
that opinion. The plan which ia considered the
best, and which ought to be adopted, is that the
proprietors meet and agree among themselves as
to the mode Of la ing out the avenues anu
streets and then submit that for approval to the
Legislature. This would prevent expense and
an unsatisfactory result, and render commits
sion totally unnecessary. The owners of the
land are the best judges Of their own interests,
and nothing ought to be done without consulting
them. We hope, therefore, the Assembly will
arrest the further progress of the bill. But If it
should pass that branch Of the Legislature, we
trust the Senate, which rejected the first bill, will
also reject the second, and that this important
matter viii be left to the judgment of those to
whom il properly belongs.

We publish in another column a communication
from Amelia Jenny Dods disciple OF spiritualism
in which she severely castgates B. F. Hatch, an
ex-apostie of the same faith, for placing her in
what she calls "falsc position and in which she
also lays down her platform with regard TO the
matrimonial question. Amelia evidently has a
very poor opinion of Hatch, as she compares him
with the amorous Jupiter and the treacherous
Judas Iscariot. Miss Dods and Mr.. Hatch have each
had an opportunity OF presenting their peculiar
views TO the public through the columns of the
HERALD, and we now, therefore, bring the contro

The NIGGER AGITATION STARTED IN New
MEUCo-A STRONG BILL FOR THE PROTECTION OF
SIAyERY-The special intelligence which we
publish to-day from our correspondent al Santa
Fe New Mexico, is very curious, suggestive and
nteresting-especially the act passed by the
Territorial House Of Representatives, almost
unanimously, Ito provide for the protection Of
property in slaves in this Territory
This act, which we presume is now the law Of
the Territory, is particularly minute, comprehen-
sive and stringent, as slave property protecting
statute. sSecion %, for example, declares that
+" The emancipation of slaves within this Territory
is totally prohibited" provision which will suf
flee to show the spirit and drift Of the law. 1t is
simply the first movement in the political expert
ment Of making New Mexico slave S.atc-a
country for which Mr.. Webster. in 1850, declared
IN reference to the exclusion of slavery, that il
was not necessary to re-enact the will of Cod
Our correspondent says that the amount of
property in slaves in the Territory at this time
docs not exceed 0,OOO-equivalcnt to a
hundred slaves or so-and that he believes that
the census Of 1860 will show the number Of in
habitants in New Mexico TO exceed n bundred
thousand souls. There lie prospect, then, that
this out Of the-way Territory Of New Mexico will
before long stir up among our politicians another
Kansas hurricane of excitement agitation and
all sorts Of discords and border troubles. or
course, the object Of the politicians concerned in
this slave law Of New Mexico is Official slave
