ssTbe Inhuman BILL,

Under this appropriate head the Missouri
Democrat publishes the bill concerning free ne
groes and mulattoes introduced into the House
raf Representatives of that State, and which
sssed the House by pro-slavery vote of IS
2e. The bill, to the honor of Missouri and
z Common humanity, has been postponed by the
Senate. It's provisions would delight such of
our Ohio Democratic Solons as introduce in-
human black laws at Columbus. 1t forbids,
under severe fines and imprisonments, any
emancipation of slaves in Missouri, and that
free negroes and mulattoes, between Is and 90
years of age, residing in the State after the
irst Monday in June, 1860, ''shall be reduced
to slaveryl' They are to be seized and sold by
the Sherifs of the counties, to the highest bid
der, for ready money, the purchaser to acquire
the same rights over the before free negro as
though he had been born slave. The ''ready
money shall become a part of the common
school fund of said county.
Free negroes oE mulattOes, under Is, after
June, 1860, are to be bound as apprentices, and
if found in the State year after the expiration
of apprenticeship, they are to be seized and
sold into life slavery. The property of the free
negroes, real and personal, is also to be seized
and sold to the highest bidder for cash, and af
ter defaying costs, is to be paid into the county
treasury, and shall constitute part of the pau
per fund.
With humanity also quite helish, the bill
permits free negroes between Is and 55, to
''select some white man or woman as his or her
master, mistress, or owner" and thus go into
voluntary slavery instead of being sold by force
and arms into that blessed condition of free
born native Americans.
No provision is made for dispOsing of free
negroes or mulattoes over 55-either by selling
or hanging.
Considering that Missouri is Slave and Ohio
Free State, the legislation proposed by Dem
ocratic Lawmakers in both touching colored
men, women, and children, is just about on a
par; and is in keeping with the spirit and pro
visions of the Fugitive Slave Act and the Dred
Scott decision.
The st. Louis Democrat says of the Missouri
bill, that "its inhuman provisions will cause
many men to reflect whether system of slave
labor that obtains partially in some counties in
this State is worth such unchristian Legislation
to keep it in existence If it cannot survive by
any other mode in Missouri, it is not likely to
last here very long"

netroit Custom House.

Among the items passed at the last moment
in the Appropriation Bills, was one of $4,000
for the completion Of the new Custom House
and Post Office in Detroit. This makes about
sl5O,OOO for the building-nearly double the
estimated cost in the first place. MIR. Howard,
the member from Detroit, got the item through,
and in doing so remarked that former aPProPr-
atiOns would probably have been sufficient to
complete the Custom House if some of the
money had not been put to the purpose of de-
feating his election. 9--@
The Detroit Custom House is precisely the
same size, shape and material as the Cleveland
Custom House, and yet the latter cost only
s1Os, 900, against Sl50,OO0 appropriated for the
Detroit In point of workmanship and finish
the Cleveland is fully equal to the Detroit, and
the marked difference in cost rebounds greatly
to the credit of the Cleveland Superintendent,
Major WEBB, and the Contractor, Mr.. W. j.
WARNER.

Pence or War in Europe.

The war cloud still lowers over Europe,
though it seems to be lifting from the horizon.
The n. Y, Tribune of Monday says:
The latest and most precise intelligence re-
lating to the war question in Europe is found
in the report of the debate in the House OF
Commons on the night of the 25th ult. Lord
Palmerston asked the Ministers if they could
give any assurance that the peace would not be
broken; and Mr. Disraeli replied that he could
state tha the Papal Territories would be evaeu-
ated by both the French and Austrian forces.
This announcement was naturally received with
cheers, for 1t removes one of the great points S
of difficulty between the Cabinets of Paris and
Vienna But those who read the report of this
debate, will perceive hat Mr. Disraeli Is exceed
ingly cautious in his statement, and does not
go beyond the single announcement in ques-
ton He does not express anything like 3
conviction that the danger is over, and yet,
had he entertained such conviction, had he
been able to furnish the public with any good
ground for such hope, he certainly could not
have withheld it.
The military occupancy of the States of the
Church is only one of the points at issue be-
tween the two Powers. France requires Aus
tria also to withdraw her forces from Florence
Parma, Modena, in short from every part ofIta-
ly which she now garrisons, outside of her own
recognized possessions. Then there is the ques
ton of the Danubian PrinciPalities where
France and Russia together support the author
ity of Couza. the newly elected Hespodar of
both Moldavia and Wallachia, whose union he
has proclaimed in defiance of the decision of the
last Paris Conference, of the interest and digni-
ty of Austria, and, what is more, of that notable
treasure of diplomacy, the integrity of the Tur-
ksh empire. In regard to SerTia and MonteDe-
gro, too, there is trouble between the two En-
pires; and on none of these subjects has Mr..
DisraeIi word of consolation to offer to the
anxious audience of commercial men in whose
behalf especially Lord Palmerston interrogated
him. Still less could he make any allusion to
what is believed to be the greatest cause of war
of alive mean the ambition aud the political
necessities of Louis Napoleon. Nor will our
readers fail to notice that the very London jour-
mails which contain the report of this debate also
publish telegram from Vienna stating that or
ders have been issned to put the Austrian army
in Italy on perfect war footing. The cloud
has not yet blown over; the preservation of
peace is still matter of the greatest uncertain
itv

rhe Proposed Canadian Tarif:

The Inspector General or Finance Minister
has introduced in the Canadian House his new
Tariff of Custom Duties, which it is thought
will be carried through. The Canadian Tariff
has hitherto been mixed, specific and ad ualOreM
duties The new Tariff imposes Gd UGlOrem
duties on everything excepting whisky. As
the duties are charged on the value of the arti-
Gle at the place whence last imported, ad UalO'
rem duties hold out inducements to the mer-
chants of Montreal and Quebec to import tea
from China, Sugar from Cuba, &c, thus offer
ing advantages to those cities as against New
York and Boston The Toronto correspondent
of the N. Y. Times writes:
The principal merit of this new Tariff is that
it is an approximation to the scale Of duties in
vogue with you. 1t is therefore considered a
step in advance towards the realization of a
scheme which is attracting more and more at
tention here from year to year; viz, zOH verela
OF customs union between Canada and the
United States 1t is thought, by many of our
public men, that such union would be produc-
tive Of the greatest adv lntages to both countries
1t would be completion OF the work which the
negotiations of the Reciprocity Treaty COM
menced 1t would save great expense both to
Canada and the States, as all interior Custom
houses could be abolished. 1t would give a
wonderful impetus to the trade of the Lakes,
and Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee would all
virtually become seaports. This would add, at
once 20 per cent to the value of the millions OF
acres of land in the States tributary to the COM
merce of those cities 1t would secure to the
United States as well as Canada all the advan-
tages of political annexation, without the ex-
pense to the former, or degradation to the latter,
of purchase or conquest
The Government here have not yet taken up
this idea; they cannot well initiate any project
for carrying it out 1t involves Imperial in
terests and therefore English or American
Statesmen must advocate it, if it is to be advo-
Gated with any effect. But Mr.. Merritt, of We'll
land Canal notoriety, and Mr.. Buchanan, the
largest merchant in Canada, are in favor of it,
while Mr. Dubord, of Quebec, who says the
continent should be all American or all British,
would doubtless advocate it too, and these are
the three members of our Parliament who have
most influence in our commercial policy

Ten Years at Niagara

Messrs. FRANKENsTEIN, the Buckeyes whose
picture of Niagara Falls is challenging rivalry
with the master pieces of landscape art. gave
several exhibitions of their Panorama at Ober-
LIN. In note to US, Prof. PECK says:-"Their
work has received such appreciation as l have
meyer known our people to extend to any Other
work in the same line And it may well be ap-
proved, for it is certainly admirable. In draw
ing and coloring it evinces judgment, taste and
skill; while in the selection and distribution Of
subjects it shows at once genius and thorough
study"
please call me to account if your own OBJ
servation does not presently justify every title
of my statements.
Thursday evening our citizens will have an
opportunity to sec and judge of Niagara for
themselves.

Fermentation in Russia.

The great and good work goes steadily and
surely forward In ten of the Governments of
Russia, the Committee of Mobiles charged with
preparing plan of emancipation, have com
pleted their labors The movement is carefully
and methodically conducted, and TIE Emperor
constantly consults the interests of the mobiles as
well as the serfs. A general commission has
been raised, composed of one delegate named by
the Minister of the Interior, three named by
the Governor General of the Provinces Of Viii
na, GrodDo and Kovno, and six mobiles chosen
from amoug the Provinci / Committees, to re-
wise the projects before they are submitted to
the Central Committee.
The emancipation spirit finds warm place
in the hearts of some of the most noble of the
land The Grad Duchess Helen, widow of the
late Grand Duke Michel of Russia, liberated
all her serfs on New Years day. Each one was
allowed his cabin, garden. &c, with ten acres
of arabic land, for which he is to pay nomi-
nal rent yearly The serfs are also to receive
S25 to $40 per year as wages for the work they
are to do on the lands of the Grand Duchess.
Thus the freedom and the elevation of the
masses 90 on under the auspices of the
Russian Autocrat, while in our own bOasted
free Republic gives are being riveted tighter on
some five millions of people by the President,
Conrgess, and U. S. District and Supreme
Courts. In some of the States it is even pro-
posed to enslave free men. women and children,
because God has created them with black
skin. and in others to expatriate them by fines,
imprisonment, the deprivation of citizenship,
and of every right God-given and inalienable.
How humiliating is the contrast.

Murder and Bank Robbery at jackson,
Tennessee.

A clue seems to haYe been found to the bank
robber and murderer, whose Identification has
been so earnestly sought by the inhabitants of
jackson, Tenn. The Nashville Banner says:
ga strange horse had been left at a livery
stable at jackson, Immediately previous to the
murder and robbery, and the owner not calling
for him for several days, the circumstance excited
suspicion. The proprietor of the stable was
not at home when the horse was left, and, con-
sequently. knew nothing of the owner.
Having communicated with the vigilance
committee, the horse was saddled and paraded
about the country, for the purpose of identify
ing the owner if possible The effort was un-
availing until the persevering persons who had
it in hand had resched neighborhood near the
Hardeman county line, where individuals as
serted that they had often seen young man
named Irwin Tor Irvin) ride that horse.
Upon this hint the party returned Immediate
ly to jackson, where Irwin was known to have
been ever since the murder, stopping at his
fathers house, who is a resident of Jackson
The arrest was postponed until the morning
alter the night the party arrived, when it was
founl that Irwin had left on the morning train.
dispatches were Immediately sent to Boli-
var, and the Sheriff attached Irwin at that
place He denied his name, and politely assur-
ed the Sheriff he was mistaken. He was press
ed, however, to remain, and suspicion of his
guilt was strengthened by finding a large
amount of money in gold and Union Bank
bills on his person. Irwin was Immediately
taken back to jackson, and his prelimin AIRY
examination was to have commenced on Tues
day"
