Rstter from me COD pigriuru.

The Leayenworth Ledger of the 18th men.
tions the return of VIM. s. Walsh, Esq, direct
from Denver City, bound to st. Louis to pur-
chase supplies for the miners. He made the
trip from Denver City to Leavenworth in %
days, by the Smoky Hill route, to which he
gives the preference. 1t is nearer than the old
Santa Fe route, and plenty of wood and water
the whole way. The Ledger says the state
ments of Mr.. Walsh can be relied upon with
implicit confidence, and adds:
Mr. Walsh brings with him four hundred dol
lars worth of gold dust, which he dug in twenty
days with very Indifferent mining tools. He
says that the country is very healthy, and that
the miners arc in high glee, with the most bril-
liant prospects for the future.
He says, "That the road to within one hun
dred miles of Denver City is lined with emf
grants travelling in all sorts of ways-on horse
back, mule-back, ox-back, in wagons, with
hand-carts, and on foot; but they all seemed to
be in excellent spirits, and were getting along
finely

The NeapoIiran Exiles.

Peorio and his sixty or seventy companions
in exile did not fancy the idea of banishmeni
to the United States, although they had been
provided with an American ship for the voyage
The David Stewart, which sailed from Calais
for New York with the exiles,was accompanied
to sea some 200 miles by NeapOlitan war
steamer, but no sooner had the war steamer left
them than they compelled Capt Prentiss to
steer for Cork. The Captain at first fatty re-
fused, but as the refugees greatly out numbered
the crew, he was soon foreibly deprived of com
mand, and the second mate appointed in his
place pro tenn. In the mutiny they were as
sisted BY young sailor, son of one of the ex-
lies, who had shipped on the Stewart at Cadiz,
and signed the articles as one of the crew.
The exiles landed at Queenstown on the 6th,
and the enthusiasm of some rose TO such pitch
that they actually kissed the soil on which they
fiist planted foot as freemen. The landing of the
exiles had been mentioned in Parliament, but
without apparent feeling.

The Journal says there are other Democrats
who voted against this manner Of kicking the
bill out of the Senate, who would have voted
against it on the question of passage.
There is bill now before the Senate, intro
duced by Mr.. schleich, to let the repairing of
the canals by contract for two years to the low

The Statesman mourns the result, and re-
fuses to be comforted. It says:
The excitement produced by this result was
very great, and general dissatisfaction was
manifested toward the Democratic Senators
who voted to postpone the bill.

Ths mother VINO Loved Too Dearly.

The tender mercies of slavehclding are cruel
its punishments fend.like. An instance OF
the latter has just occurred in Kentucky which
makes the gorge rise to recount In October,
1883. eoIored woman named Juliet, who some
twelve years ago was purchased by the Rev.
John G. Fee, of his father, was arrested and
thrown into jail in Bracken county. Juliet had
often Graded the Rev. Mr. Fee in her arms
when he was an infant, and he bought her to
make her free Four years since she removed
t. Ohio, and made new home sixteen miles
from her old one. Her youngest children, four
in number, born after her liberation, she took
with her to Ohio. The mother left ten children
and grand children still in bondage, whom, with
mothers undying affection she loved, and by
whom she had hoped to be surrounded in her
declining years, in a land where the mother can
call her offspring her own.
Juliet learned that young son of her former
master was about to return to his home in New
Orleans, and take number of her Save child
ren with MIN. With mothers love and daring
she made desperate effort to procure their de-
liverance She visited them, and under the in
human slave laws of Kentucky was seized and
thrown into prison, charged with enticing or
attempting TO entice away ten slaves. the prop
erty of John Fee and others. The arrest was
made October 18th, 1858. Bail in the sum of
$500 was at first demanded. A citizen of
Braeken county gave the bail required. No
sooner was Juliet released than she was rear
rested, and other warrants were obtained, the
bail in each case being fixed at $500. No one
being willing to meet such an accumulation OF
bail, the unhappy mother was returned to jail,
thus cut off from all her children, free and bond,
The trial of Juliet came on on the Sd of
March, and jury of twelve chiyalrous Ken
tuckians found the poor old black mother guilty
of loving her own offspring too dearly, and
humane Kentucky judge sentence that humble
Christian mother, member in good standing
in the Presbyterian Church in the village in
which she resided, who had been guilty of ma
ture's great crime of risking her own liberty TO
secure that of her children, to the cells of
Kentucky penitenliary for three long years.
Well might Jefferson exeIaim upon contem-
plating an institution so accused as human
slavery-"I 1 tremble for my country when 1
reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot
sleep forever" u

Municipal EIectiop---Primnry Meetings.

The City Election will take place on Monday,
the 4th Of April next. The officers to be elect
ed from the city at large are Mayor, Police
Judge, City Attorney, Trustee of Water Works,
Director of Infrmary, City Commissioner, City
Marshal, Fire Engineer, City Sealer, City Treas
urer, Police Clerk, two Justices of the Peace,
and eight ConstabIes; also, one Trustee from
each Ward, By the voters of the Ward, and an
Assessor from each Ward. We have not seen
the new School Law since its passage, but as it
provides for a member of the Board Of Educa-
ton from each Ward to be elected by the voters
of the Ward, an election will also be held on
the 4th.
To-day the Democrats nominate their City
ticket The Republican Convention is to be
held on Wednesday, March SOth The Prima-
~ Ward meetings to appoint delegates to the
City Convention, and nominate Trustees and
Assessors, have been called on Tuesday eve
ming. It is 10 these that we would particular
" call the attention Of all classes of Republi
cans. Political parties in the city are so even
ly balanced that the Republicans must all pull
and pull all together to succeed. To secure the
necessary harmony and efficiency, the primary
meetings must be not only fully attended but
fairly conducted. There must be fair opportu-
nifty given for the Republicans of the several
Wards to select delegates aud to make Ward
nominations, and without Democratic aid
brought into the meetings to further the objects
ofindividuals or cIiques. Frequent complaints
sometimes no doubt with good reason-hase
been made by Republicans in some of tue Wards
of trickery, packing, and improper voting in
the selection of delegates and making nomina-
tions, and every occasion for such complaint
but disafeets and weakens the organization and
toe party. Let the popular voice be clearly and
hOnOrably expressed, and personal preferences
will be cheerfully yielded by all when the Sc
lection of nominees is made.
We repeat that the Ward meetings have
claims upon the attention and attendance of
every Republican voter. There the first steps
of successful contest are taken, if taken at all
Crowd the Ward meetings Tuesday evening Re-
publicans Of Cleveland, and shoulder 70 shoul-
der move forward to victory.

Geological survey Bill.

We are grasifed to record that the bill intro

has passed the Senate by the following vote;

We trust the House will not suffer the i'm
pOrtant bill to get the go by, few as are the re-
manning days of the session. The appropria-
ton asked for is but small, and the survey will
return an hundred fold to the State.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Tyler Canada.

A few days ago very interesting debate oc
Cured IN the Canadian Parliament which
brought out the views and position of the Cana.
dian Government on the case of Deputy United
States Marshal Tyler, now confined in the jail
In Detroit awaiting trial for the murder OF
Capt. Jones at Sarnia, last fall. We append the
debate which was had in the House of Assem-.
bly,, as an authoritative statement of what the
Canadian Government intend in the matter: /.
Mr. Walbridge (opposition) moved for copies
of all correspondence which had taken place be-
tween the Government and the United States or
Michigan authorities on the subject of the sur
render ofDeputy Marshal Tyler for trial on the
charge of murder of Captain Jones, at or near
Port Sarnia, some time last fall
Attorney General Macdonald replied that the
Ashb1Tton treaty, in this instance, would no
doubt be acted upon. This was a peculiar cause.
It was an offence alleged against the laws of the
United States; it was an offence alleged against
the laws of the State Michigan; and it was an
offence alleged against the laws of Canada. The
prisoner was in custody in Michigan for an of
fence against the laws Of the United States, and
also for an offence against the laws of Michigan,
and claim had been preferred by Canada for
his surrender under the provisions of the Ash
burton treaty. The whole subject was undergo
ing discussion between the authorities on both
sides of the line, and correspondence had like
wise been had with the Imperial governments in
the matter.
Mr. Brown said it was supposed that Tyler
would be brought to trial in Michigan for the
offence committed against the laws of the State
and many people were of the opinion that, if he
was acquitted, he would not be amenable to the
laws of Canada.
Attorney General MacdonaId-That would
not follow as consequence. There were grave
and important questions involved, and these
were engaging the attention of those having
authority to speak in the matter. He was hap
py to inform the House that there was a dispo-
sition on the part of the United States to carry
out the provisions of the Ashburton treaty
Mr.. Brown asked if the Attorney General
was of opinion that the crime had been commit
ted on Canadian watersl -4-s-f-s N4
Attorney General Macdonald said the shot
was fired in Canada, but the death took place in
Michigan, and it was believed that the prisoner
could be tried for murderin the country in which
the shot was fred which caused the death, al
though the death took place in foreign coun-
try. Then another question arose. The Ash
burton treaty provided for the return of fugi-
tives from justice; and the question which sug-
gested itself was this-was Tyler fugitive from
justicel ee E TTD2 eT
Mr.. J. s. Macdonald he not fugitive from
Canadian justice!
Attorney General Macdonald u Undoubtedly
he ran away to defeat the ends of justice
The motion was then withdrawn.
