We learn hy the Minnosoiian that The su-
preme Court Of That State has decided that, af.
Ter the maturity Of promisory note, il contin-
nee, until Judgment, to bear only the same
rate of interest which, on It's face, t bore up 10
the time it became due; and That the agreement
Of the parties for higher rate Of interest after
the maturity, was not a contract for interest
within the meaning Of the law, but was to be
regarded only as a penalty, no moro of which
could be recoved than tho sum of Che damages
actually sustained.
One Of The cases decided by the Court wai
based on a note calling for "three per cent a
month until due. aud five per cent month
after due, on both principal and interest
until paid" and the other case arose also on 9
note calling for three per cent, month, and
"aiter maturity FIVE per cent" The parties
from whom the amount of the first note was due
offered to pay three and FIVE per cent month
interest, but refused to pay five per cent. on
the sum Of the three per cent. interest. The
Shylock claimed his "bond, /" and the court very
properly cut him off from the extra "pound Of
flesh" These cases illustrates very forcibly
the expansion and contracting system of Min
nesota. The Minnesotian supposes the points
decided by the Supreme Court, will be still
further tested before the u S. Courts

stnte Auditor.

Amongst the many names submitted TO the
consideration Of the Republicans Of Ohio for fn-
vOrable consideration in connection with the
Office Of Auditor Of State, none at present occupy
80 prominent position as that Of e. M. Cole
stock, of Columbiana County. This gentleman
s thorough accountant-has had large expe-
rience in his own county, as well as by h's con-
nection with various public interests, and it is
claimed by those who know him beet that his
qualifications eminently fit him for the duties OF
this office Aside from this is the fact that the
eastern portion of the State in which he resides
has not been favored with Republican candi-
date for any State office, and it would be only a
mark of Justice to grant to the citizens of that
region an act Of courtesy by the selection Of Mr..
OOlestock
Another important feature in the matter is
that Columbiana County, once so thoroughly
Democratic that the opposition were entirely
powerless, is now ono OF the most reliable Re-
publican counties in the State In effecting
THE revolution Mr. ColestOck has performed no
inconsiderable part. These reasons combined
will Justly render him strong man in the Con
vention, and if the expression of opinion which
we notice in our exchanges is an indication of
the popular voice he will undoubtedly be the
nominee. Should he be nominated we can and
will yield him hearty and cordial support

A slave woman was whipped. to death by one
of the Jennings tribe named Hatcher, at one oI
the New Orleans slave depots few months ago
The murderer fled to Missouri. A requisition
for him on the Governor of Missouri was made
by the Governor Of Louisiana. Col Perrault
of Louisiana, and an officer from St Louie
went to jefferson City, and requested Governor
Stewart TO make out the necessary papers to
enable them to obtain possession Of the iugi'
tive The Governor, with an oath, refused to dc
so, and Hatcher was permitted to leave the
State. The killer OF dog would have been
more severely dealt with than was the murder

The Mississippi Flood.

The food in the Lower Mississippi this
Spring is quite as disastrous as the great Ieshet
OF last year. In the vicinity and above New
Orleans a number of crevasses are reported
and in many places the banks aud evees are tuln
bling into the rushing waters. Large tracts OF
the lower country arc OverAOwed, and the de-
struetion of stock, crops, DC, are of an almost
incalcuable amount The Monarch has arrived
at Cincinnati from New Orleans, and the Ca
zette says ia.".s
From Memphis down. the river is described
as spreading out ON either hand like sea, and
the marks of desOlaton are everywhere visible.
Scores of plantations and villages are either
overiowed or rendered almost uninhabitable by
the mould with which the surrounding moist
ure has covered every dwelling. The houses
which are built on pillars, thus suffering the
water to run freely beneath, are still occupied.
Flat boats are usually mOOred to such habita-
tions, which serve the double purpose of sta
bes for the cattle and quarters for the negroes
who guard them.

The plot thiokens, doepene, Nidens. That
public meeting Of Oct IL, 1850, in Cleveland,
condemnatory the Fugitive Slave Law wiIlbo
henceforlh memorable era in the old N. W.
Territory Let il be hallowed in cong 70 the sir
Of Aud Lang Syne, or "Ths Hunters Of Ken-
lucky" (where's Dodge y and its memory drank
in that mingled cup Of "mint juleps and melted
lead which the Rev. Dr. Aiken rendered on chat
occasion Il would seem from the facts coming
to light that H. Y. Wilson acted very curious
parts as TO the resolutions Of that meeting -
District Attorney Belden in his plea on the
Bushnell case declared there was no authority
appointing Wilson on that committee and that
he did not act, moreover that he, Belden, had
been told by gentleman of the bar who pos
sessed memorandum to that effect that Wilson
did not act on the committee--wheroon comes in

occurring in 1852 and claiming 10 be heard
That is too rich and is after the Frenchman q
explanatory climax when he said Of certain
matter-''it is splendid It is magnifquel il
is pretty goOt J"
UaQuesiionably had Wilson been elected TO
Congress the Fugitive Slave Law would have
been repealed
Now il so transpired that about the same
time in Oct 1859, which the German paper
recites touching the then pending canvass for
Wilson for Congress, another Cleveland paper
played upon certain names, candidates for the
same elevation on this wise-"FOr the last year
il has been Will-soOn, (Willson) toade and i0ade,
and so much wading iCill-sOon kidnap man in
to the mire so deep that it will require requi-
sifion to find him in tho black muck. The ar
ehives in the office of Secretary Of State show
case in point which we trust the Plain Dealer
ibiil-soon publish" This must have been tho
battle Of the frogs waged with two edged
sword The Summit county Beacon some
months since served up dish from history
touching the adventures Of certain Cleveland
kidnappers to the city of neighboring State.
There Is an Ominous squirting in a certain di-
reotion. II is not stated in what part of the
country these archives Of State are situated,
but We protest against the disturbing of the
dusty papers, as the judicial robes which hang
from the shoulders of the first incumbent of the
office of Judge Of the U. s. Court for the North
ern District Of Ohio may be found TO cover up
and enshroud a fugitive from justice, and so q
more damning indignation be visited upon him
than has been evoked upon the boy Boynton
for his Judas work. With such antecedents
could anything different have resulted from
Wilson than has been developing since his
memorable charge to the Grand Jury last fall :

Democracy! Hypocrisy! Synonymous Terms
Bushnell is decoyed out of the hands of Sher-
III Wightman instead of being taken out by an
order Of the Court The latter would have
been the straightforward manly way. The for
mer was preferred because it would hArmonze
with the sne king Pro-Slavery way of doing
business. The Democrat, ashamed of this pro-
ceeding, ignores the underhanded doings of the
Marshal, and praises the prison in which the
"convict" is confined, and states that MIR. Bush
nell is his own jailor--that he had the key to
his own room-admitted whom he pleased
"The Marshal himself cannot go in without
poor Bushnel's permisslon," DC. During a
while on Saturday and Sunday, the Marshal
did not take the trouble 70 lock Mr. Bushnell's
door, but none could pass in or out, without
passing by the guards stationed in the building
Mr.. Bushnell is now and bis been with the ex.
ception of the time mentioned above, since he
was thus illegally and undeThandedly taken out
of the hands of the sheriff, kept close prisoner,
and no one can gain access to his room except
by special permission of the Marshal.
Queryl-Was Mr. q door left unlocked, but
not without a guard for lew hours, so that
laudatiOn could be bestowed upon the Marshal
to deceive the public by his own paid organ, the
