We ind the following tribute to Chief Justice
fancy IN the Richmond Enquirer of the Sd instant
The RIGHT AND Duty OF CONGRESS TO PRorEcr
SLAVE PERSONS AND SLAVE PRoPERTY.-It is mat
ter OF sincere congratulaton among the conserva-
tive men OF the whole country, at this moment
when present authority the subject is so import
ant, that the most authoritative judicial voice in
the Union has spoken directly on the question of
Congressional protection to slave property.
In the case of the slave Amy. decided few DAYS
since, Chief Justice fancy has furnished written
decision, which repeats and confirms in all its force
the views previously set forth by Governor WISE
in his late letter to Mr.. Sanford.
From review of the decision, we discover the
assertion of the following great principles of doc
trine:
LIST. That slaves are recognized by the Constitu-
ton of the United States in the character of
persons
I'd. That slaves are represented in Congress as
persons.
Sd. That as persons, they are, in many instan-
ces, at least subject to certain liabilities, and in
vested with the rights corresponding to those liza
blhtes, In the same way that other persons are.
4th. That among these liabilities are those which
render them amenable to trial and punishment for
crimes and misdemeanors; and among these rights
is the right of legal protection against personal
jury.
9Th. That the Constitution of the United States
also recognises slaves as property.
9th. sAs property, the rights Of the are en-
titled to the protection of the tan" l. e. the laws of
the United States, enacted by Congress.
1t Is a matter of further congratuaton that both
these decisions are due to the sagacty, the legal
lore, and high integrity of man who wears not
less worthily than did his predecessor in office, the
ermine robe which he received Immediately from
the shoulders of John Marshall

UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL FAIR
We learn from General TENcH TnGHMAN, Presi-
dent OF the UNITED STATES Agricultural Society,
that arrangements of the most satisfactory
character have just been effected in Chicago,
for the purpose of holding the next National Fair
at that place on the 18th of September. So great
is the interest felt in the matter by the citizens of
Chicago, that every assurance was given, on
their part, that the exhibition should be the
largest and most imposing that has ever been
held in the country.
We are informed ais I, that the Executive Com
mittee of the Society will meet at their office in
Washington on the l4th inst. for the purpose of
completing the premium list, AMI transacting all
other necessary business. The premium list which
will be the most liberal scale will appear
in the Quarterly Journal Of Agriculture for
July, published by the Society at Washington and
will also be printed in pamphlet form

Judge CAMPBELL, of the UNITED STATES Supreme
Court, in his recent charge to the Grand Jury of
the Circuit Court at New Orleans, said:

Not only is this true but it is also unhappily
the fact that the evils arising from what Judge
CAMPBELL tenderly calls the 'eccentricity' of iu-
ries not confined in their effects to the persons
and characters of the delinquent jurors. 1t may
not matter, so far as they themselves are concerned

We mentioned yesterday, the demise of FERDI-
NAND H. by the grace of God, King of the Two
Sicilies, King of Jerusalem, Duke of Parma, &C.,
&C. Why is it, that amid the fierce excitement
which now convulses Europe, the departure of
man who was neither great nor good should be the
subject of more than passing thought? But so it
is. Just when the French bugles had begun to
sound charge upon the plains of Piedmont, and
old GAR1BALDI was calling upon his countrymen to
rise in revoluton-when the heart of Italy was big
with hopes or struggling with uncertainties, and
the sluggish Austrian preparing to defend his i'll

the nropress of events, and the clash of arms,
nv which the issue is to be determined, may be
heard an universal execration upon the name of
the dead King. That he was tyrannical and
bigoted ruler, whose narrow views, selfish motives,
and despotic courses have kept his country far in
the rear of the march of advancing nations, and
checked the growth of enlightened education
among his people, is unfortunately true. But this
the world might one day have forgiven, If not for

SLA VEHOLDERS' CONTENTION

The Shareholders Conve nton of the State of
Maryland will assemble in this city to-day. We
believe that most of the cou mites will be represent
ed, though think that all of them have not elect

The Constitution of yesterday, in reference to the
Overland California Mail, says that the Post
master General with view to reduce the expen-
ses of the Department was anxious to reduce the
service to a weekly instead of semi-weekly mail
The Attorney General has decided, however, that
the contract is irrevocabe for six years from the
10th of September, 1858. The annual expense is
100000, and the change proposed would have
effected saving of Sl50o00 per annum, but it APP
pears that the usual stipulation, giving the head Of
the Department revisory power over all con-
tracts for delivery of mails, was omitted in that
with Messrs. Butter6eld 4 Co., and the Govern
judging from its present receipts, after deductipg
the commissions to the postmasters, will yield to
the Government an annual revenue of, probably
not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars. So, under
this extraordinary action of Congress, the account
between this Overland Mail Company and the
Post-ofce Department will stand thus at the close
of the contract: Expenditures by the Department,
ceipts, ninety thousand dollars-showing clear
loss from the route of three millions five hundred
and ten thousand dollars II And yet, under the
crushing pressure of such system of legislation az
this, there those who denounce this Department
as mismanaged because it is no longer selfsustain
ing.
