hard for the present offenders, but Will be fortunate
for shipmasters generally. If these men are
acquitted. the next offenders will be likely to
receive treatment which will make them wish,
on the whole, that they had been snugly
lodged in prison. The feelirg against slave
catching has had no opportunity to manifest
itself since o54 but believe it is deeper and more
intense than ever, and that desperate remedies will
be applied whenever they seem TO be called for.
The trial will take place in September, at term
of the new Superior Court. That Court is not so
well constituted it ought to be for trials involving
the question of personal liberty. Chief Justice
Allen will be tower Of strength on the Freedom
side of all such questions. Messrs. Morton Rock
well and Russell will also prove Trustworthy men.
1t will not be safe to try any such questions before

Jefreys a slow coach in the days of the Bloody
Assizes. IL has been seriously proposed in the
Committee on the Revision of the Statutes to enact
law that no person shall be delivered up as fagi.
tive slave under law Of Congress, and to make
statutory provision by which they may be delivered
up by the State. If the State should in good faith
undertake this business of returning fugitives (Of
which there is no great danger), Wilkinson should
be set apart to preside at the trials. He would
enter into the work con amore. Mr.. Lord, Mr..
VOse, Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Brigham are cODserva-
tive men, who would be apt to follow precedent, as
our Supreme Court did in the Sims case, and as
the Supreme Court of Ohio have done in the Ober-
lin case. Mr.. Putnam, who takes the place which
Mr.. Andrew declined is a liberal man, believe,
but do not know much about him.
Mr.. Geo D. Wells of CreennG,ia1 mas received the
appointment of Justice of the Police Court in Dos
ton. An active, energetic and working man Is thus
taken out of the Legislature, but not necessarily
out of politics. Judge RUSSELL his predecessor
was, during his whole term of service very active
and very successful political manager, and do not
suppose that elevating him to the bench of the
Superior Court will change his tastes in this respect
1t is one of the popular delusons that the judges
even of the Supreme Court are above meddng with
politics.
The President and Professors of Harvard Col

mired Mr.. Morphy considerably and themselves
great deal. / think the Chess champion must have
been entertained with the exhibition to which he
was invited.
There is, by the way, great revival Of Mutual
ism in this neiRhbOrh0od. The Courier took occa.
sion the other day to rebuke what it considered to
be an evidence OF it in Mr.. Dana's book on Cuba.
Mr. d. speaks once or twice in fattering terms Of
DR.. S. G. Howe, and is rebuked therefor. Isqp-
pose this is the cropping out" of the old grudge
which Mr. Hard has against Mr.. Dana for the
memorable reply which Mr.. Dana made to him in
the Constitutional Convention of 1853. much
more offensive specimen of mutual admiration has
been passed by unnoticed by the same critic. |

learn that Mr. John Fos.er Kirk, who was
Private Secretary TO Mr. Prescott, the historian,
for many years, has abandoned his intention of
completing the Life of Philip H., which Prescott
did not live to complete. The opposition Of Mr.
George Ticknor is said to be the reason for his
coming to a conclusion which must be q matter OF
sincere regret to those who know Mr. Kinks abil-
ity as a writer and his ,capacity for historical
research.
