A DECISION IN THE sICKLEs CASE:

Although tho Court of Washp eton has not yet
pronounced the guilt or innocence of the priso'
ner arraigued before it, IL has made one decision.
which, being promulgated at the National Capital.
lby Judge holding Office under Federal Law, is
especially noteworthy. II is given here:
Counsel then referred to the of the State
against John S. Iredell. He was much surprised
that the counsel who admouished him the other
day not to introduce Slavery into this matter, has
undertaken to denounce that decision because il
was made for slaves and the wives of slaves, not
for freemen or the wives of freemen. They knew
that no distinction was made in the rules of evil
dence as between slaves and freemen.
Mr.. Stanton In that case, how did Flora, the
WIFE come to be examined?
Mr.. Carlisle did not deny that there were some
peculiar laws in the State where Slavery existed.
la North Carolina the wife of slave might be exc
amned against her husband.
Judge 1t must be so, because Slares cannot con-
tract marriage.

have been allowed an undisputed monopoly of the

Kansas.

ha0S6Ss
We copy from the Kansas correspondence of the
Philadelphia Press, the following items of Kansas
news:
San act providing for the formation of Consti-
tuition and State Government for the State of Kansas
was passed and approved by the Governor.
The provisions of the law are as follows:
First An election the fourth Monday Of
March, at which the people shall vote for against
q Convention
Second. Should this question be decided affrma-
lively then the people elect on the first Tuesday of
June ffty-two delegates to Constitutional Conven-
ton.
Third. The Convention to meet at Wyandott
city on the first Tuesday of July.
Fourth. To submit the Constitution to vote of
the whole people, for their ratification or rejection
on the first Tuesday in October.
Fifth. Officers to be elected under said Constitu-
ton, if ratified by the people, on the first Tuesday
in December -
Sixth. The Governor elected under said Consti-
tuition, the receipt by him of official information
of the admission of Kansas into the Union shall call
the Legislature together and proceed to do all other
things necessary to complete State organization.
From this synopsis you will see that ample time
is given for full consideration of the questions in
volved in all the elections and the Convention has
ample time to get up a model Constitution for what
will soon be the model State of the Union.
Five new counties have been made, and an imme,
datc organization provided for in the gold fields Of

Tile Railroad Convention at Columbus.

1w hdHTOdU COHCeHttOH az COCuaHcu6
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Thursday, March a.
The Railroad Convention continued in session to-
day. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout,
with entire freedom from excitement or contention.
The Timetable Committee reported this evening
They propose starting from New York at A. N.
and P. NJ. by the Camden and Amboy and New
Jersey roads, and to reach Cincinnati at P. NJ and
11.30 P. NJ, and make about the same time to New
York.
The following resolutions were offered by the
President of the Baltimore and Ohio Road, and also
adopted:
Whereas, Moderate speed of passenger trains is
admitted to contribute largely to the economical
working and consequently the net results of railway
property;
Whereas The extraordinary cost of high speed
should command relative remuneration for passen-
ger service;
Whereas, The experience of the managers of the
railroad system in Europe has adopted this system
in their tariff of rates, the legitimate results of
their experience, therefore,
Resolred, In order to inaugurate this economical
and valuable principle in the American system, each
through line to competing points may at its option
charge one dollar less between New York and such
competing points on all trains using the schedule
time of not less than thirtysix hours between Gin
cinnati and New York, and forty hours between
Chicago and New York.
The time seems to be satisfactory to the various
western roads interested, and is said to be so ar
ranged to be better adapted to the general public
convenience by all lines than ever heretofore.
