a decision has recently been made by
Judge DAILY, in New York, in which all
persons who are dissatisfied with their pre-
sent names and desire interest John
Shook applied for an order from the court
to change his name to John Pike, alleging
that Shook" was word of German
origin, signifving 8 Pike" that be had for
some years past adopted the name Pike,
and had become known BY that name
and that wishing to enter into a new
copartnership, his contemplated associates
objected to the name % Shook" and he ac
cordingiy desired to have legal and unaues-
tionabIe authority for adopting thai of
''Pike.' We certainly cannot v onder at
the desire Of Mr.. Shook 30 secure this
change ior there is ome.hing in a name,
after all, and it is decidedly disagreeabie
to possess one which excites merriment and
ridicuie. Let all those who are in the pre-
dicament of Shook, therefore, rejoice to
learn how easily he was relieved of his dis
tressing patronymic.
The learned Judge enterd into a lengthy
and interesting review of the whole subject
A law of New York, passed in 1S47, au-
thorizes the judges of that State to change
names upon proper application, where it is
clearly shown that direct pecuniary ben
eft Will result to the petitioner from the
proposed change. But, as III the case of
Shook, the pecuniary benefit was merely
contingent, and not positive, the judge did
not feel warranted in authorizing change
under the statute referred to. AS he evil
IDENTITY sympathised, however. with the di-
lemma of Shook, he entered into a full ex-
animation Of the legal lore relating to this
subject, and arrived at the conclusion that
the petitioner had a perfect right to con-
tinue to use the name of Pike, and that all
obligations he entered into under that
name would be valid and binding several
decisions in the English courts fully Justify
the opiuion of Judge DAILY, which concludes
as follows:
| have gone into the examination of
this question so infinitely, because it has
never, so far as | am aware of, been pre-
viously investigated; and into the origin Of
the usage that now prevails in respect to
names, because the works commonly re-
ferred to in matters OF general knowledge
are exceedingly barren Of information upon
| the subject of personal nomenclature. The
result Of the examination will show, [ think,
there is nothing in the law to prevent the
petitioner from continuing to call himself
John Pike. If, as stated in his petition
he adopted it some years ago, engaged in
business by that name, and is known among
his business acquaintance and customers
by that designation, there is no reason why
| he shall not continue to use it. Any contract
or obligation he may enter into, or which
others may enter into with him, by thai
name, or any grant or devise he may here
after make be it, would by valid and bind
ing; for, as an acquired and known des
ignation, it has become as effectuaIly hi
name as the one which he previously bore
| have no hesitation, therefore, in saying
that | think lie nay lawfully use it here
after in all transactions as his name or des

New England Slave Traders.

The following which We take from the
Detroit Free Press shows pretty plain
which party is concerned in the Slave
trade:
"The only well authenticated evidence
Of the revival of the African slave trade
which comes to us duplicates New Eng
land in the business. 1t is stated conf
IDENTITY by newspapers in that section that
two slavers are fitting out at Salem, Mass,
and another at Portland, Maine. We
would wager something that, if the truth
be known, it would turn out that the par
ties who are fitting out these vessels do not
profess to belong to the democratic party.
We would wager something, indeed, that
they belong to the black republican party.
The fact is, New England, while the slave
traffic was permitted, always did more Of
it than any other part of the country. The
South was never much engaged IN the
trade, and was the first to move for its
prohibition, which movement New Eng
land resisted, and it is historically true
that the day of the final legal suppression
of the trade was deferred for the special
accommodation of New England. lfthese
slavers at Salem and Portland shall make
good their departure for the coast of Africa
and shall succeed in landingupon the coasts
of southern States cargoes Of slaves, what
> ho--iing shall we hear from all abolition
dom, How the changes will be rung up
on the ssreopening Of the slave trade by the
South! What denunciations will be
hurled at theanefarious southern traffic.
And we have no doubt that these slavers
at Salem and Portland will make good
their departure for the coast OF Africa, If
it depends upon the aboitionists and black
republicans in those quarters to deta'n
them. If they are detaiued, the govern
ment at Washington will have done 1t.
Neither aboEtionists nor black republicans
trouble themselves about slavery or slayerS
Immediately under their noses. 1t Is
slavery afar off that they hate. They have
a world of commiseraton for the mis- cradle
Greeks elsewhere, but for the miserable
Greeks at their own doors they have no
more care than for so many dogs What
beautiful specimens of christians and phil
anthropists these aboitionists and BLACK,
republicans are, to be sure.
If the South does not wish to be over
run with African savages thrown upon her
shores BY these northern slave Traders
and we know she does not,-she must
make an anti-slave trade movement. She
must stimulate public sentiment all over
the country against the traffic, and call up
on the Federal government to redoub!e its
vigilance to suppress it.
We should not be at all surprised If
politics had something to do with the fit
TING out Of the Salem and Portland vessels,
1t is Of great importance to the black re-
publican leaders that the slave trade should
be revived, and if no body else will revive
| it, they will"

Settlement Of the County.

-Four years ago we came through the
woods from Menasha here, with a delega-
ton of her citizens who were bent on hav-
ing railroad there within twelve months,
connecting the two villages We had a
hard ride, and met with short commons,
but were much pleased with the Country
through which we passed, and highly de-
lighted with the prospect of passing over
the same route in first class passenger
car upon the Railroad, within the next
twelve months.
We didn't do it, and are now here urg-
ing upon the people the great necessity of
having this Railroad completed. We know
the thing can be done within the next
twelve months, if the people will only take
hold of the thing right end first, in the true
Young America style. We want none of
your old fogies, or croakers at the cranks
But what we were going to say, when we
commenced this article, was that we had
recently passed over portion of the same
route lying within this County, and found
the country well improved, and many
splendid farms; a number of pleasant little
villages, and half dozen steam saw or
grist mills, but every man we met said
we came here, made our improvements
&c, expecting the Railroad before this.
Give them the road and theirimprovements
and population will increase two hundred
per cent. within twelve months, and Man
itowoc will derive more than a correspond
ing benefit.
