Important Decision Of the Supreme
Court.

The Supreme Court of this State have
made and filed their decision in the case OF
MARsroN Us. TALcoTT, argued at the late
term, and which involves the question OF the
rate of interest recoverable upon a note
after its maturity. That decision is in sub.
stance, that no matter how the note is
worded, no more than sevea per cent. per
annum can be recovered after its maturity.
The case before the court was upon three
notes, two of which called for five per cent
per month after date until paid, and the
other was for two. and-a-halt per cent. per
month until due, and three per cent. per
month after due until paid. The Court is
unanimous in holding that in all the cases
the n ote after maturity is but seven per
cent. per annum, and in connection with the
former decision of the same court, it estab-
lishes the doctrine that the parties
cannot by any stipulation or agreement
provide rate of interest after maturity
that is matter of damages, and settled by
the law.

The Free Negro Question.

This appears to be a living issue in Ohio.
A large emigration of free negroes from
the South, is now pouring into that State,
on account Of the precautionary laws re-
Gently adopted in tie Slave States. The
Cincinnati Enquirer in noticing the arrival
of considerable number of negro emigrants
from Arkansas, says they are probably but
the advanced guard Of thousands from the
same quarter that Ohio may expect to re-
ceive before long, and incorporate into her
population. Arkansas passed law COM
pelling all free negroes to leave the State
before the LIST of January, 1860, on pain of
being sold into slavery if they did not COM
ply. This caused a general exodus. Other
slave States-Louisiana Mississippi, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia and
Maryland-are on the point of enacting
similar statutes. A very large part of this
expelled negro population will come to Ohio,
as they are not allowed to settle in Illinois
or Indiana, and they are adverse to going
to the State north of US, or to Canada, on
account Of the severity of the climate.

Instructions in Ohio.

We hear great deal said in some quar-
tiers, in opposition to our State Convention
expressing preference for Judge DOUGLAS
for the Presidency, on the ground that such
expression of opinion is unusual. The
Democracy of the great State of Ohio
numbering upwards of $50 900 voters-did
not seem to think such expression uncalled
for, or unwise, for in their State Conven-
ton they adopted the following resolutions {:
Resolved, That Stephen A. Douglas is the
choice of the Ohio Democracy for President of
the United States. His eminent public services
rendered to the Government and the country,
his signal triumph in the Senate and before the
people, his admitted ability, his sound and just
views of public policy, his devotion to the Con.
stitution and the Union, render his name
tower of strength, and give assurance to the
conviction that if nominated at Charleston he
will most certainly receive the electoral vote
of Ohio therefore, as in union their is strength,
Resolued, As the sense of this Convention,
that the entire vote of Ohio be cast for him at
Charlestown.
Resolved. That upon all other questions arts.
ing in the Convention at Charleston, the vote
of Ohio be cast as unit and as majority of
the delegates may direct

At meeting of Democratic delegates,
from the several precincts in Hennepin
West, held at Woodlands Hall, Minneapo-
lis, January 9th, CHARLES HoAG wss called
to the Chair, and JOHN MURRAY, ir., ap.
pointed Secretary.
After the completion Of its organization,
the Convention proceeded to the selection
of delegates to represent the district in the
State Convention, to be held at st. Paul on
the 18th inst, for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the National Convention at
Charleston, which resulted in the election
of the following gentlemen Col. E. CASE,
E. M. WILSON, GEO. E. HUY, R. P. RUSSELL,
CHARLES HoAG, and E. T. ALL1NG.
Judge AMEs offered the following resolu-
ton which was adopted, with but one dis
senting voice:
Resolued, That Stephen A. Douglas is the
choice of this Convention. as the Democratic
candidate for President in 1860 and our dele
gates to the State Convention are hereby in
structed to vote for no delegates to Charleston
but those pledged to vote for, and use all hon.
orable means to secure his nomination for that
office. G. HOAG, President.

COlOred Militia In Massachusetts,.

A bill passed by the legislature authoriz-
ing colored persons to join military organi-
cations, has been vetoed by Governor BANKS.
Governor BANKS veto message was on the
ground that he believed the chapter in the
bill relating to the militia, in which the
word white" was stricken out, to be uncon-
stitutional. In this opinion he is sustained
by the Supreme Court and by the Attorney
General. The matter was discussed in the
House at some length, and the veto sus-
tanned by vote of LAG to 6. A new chap
ter was then introduced on leave, and it be-
ing precisely the same as the other, except
that the word "white" was restored, it
passed.

Caucus Tyranny.

The Senate Committee, appointed to in.
vestigate the right of Messrs. O'FARRELL
and BRYANT to their seats as members of
the Senate, consisted as originally constltu..
ted, of Messrs. HEAToN, CowAN and BALD
WIN, of Scott. After investigation, Mr..
BALDWIN and Mr.. CowAN united in report,
setting forth that the gentlemen in question
were legally elected Senators from Fillmore
county, and that the proceedings in the
Supreme Court, resulting in the issue of a
mandamus to the County Auditor of Fill
more county, were right and proper. But
Mr.. BALDWIN was not placed on the Com
mittee to follow the dictates of his judgment
or the behests of his solemn oath of office.
His duty was to obey the edicts of Black
Republican caucus and as soon as it was
ascertained that he intended to report in
favor of the right of Messrs O'FARRELL
and BRYANT to their seats in the Senate,
he was peremptorily directed to resign his
place on the Committee, in order that
mere facile instrument could be substituted.
Accordingly, at IL A. NJ, on Friday last,
Mr.. BALDWIN asked to be excused from
further service on the Committee. This was
granted, and Mr.. Wilma bitter partizan
substituted in his stead. Of course he
placed his name to the budget of legal alb.
surdities collected by Mr. HEAToN, and pre-
scented to the Senate a short time after
BALDWIN was excused from the Committee
And this was the way a majority report was
secured in favor of the claim of the bogus
Senators, HoLLEY and WELLS.
Nor is this all. Mr.. BALDWIN, after
having cowardly deserted his post of duty,
on the Committee, at the dictation of
caucus, had not the courage to vote on the
resolution BUSTING O'FARRELL and BRYANT
from the Senate. He asked to be, and aUaS
accused from voting. Could subserviency
60 farther? We hope to hear no more of
black slaves, when we boast 10 our State
Legislature, of such white slaves as Senator
BALDWIN, of Scott county.

The Cost.

The Virginia Legislature having inquired
of Gov. WISE the cost of suppressing the late
invasion, and hanging of the prisoners, he
answers that the accounts are not in, and
will not be until his time expires, but the
expenses will be very large, on account of
the disorganized condition of the militia
making it necessary for him to improvise a
force for the occasion. A portion Of the
military guard, he says, will be retained till
after the two remaining prisoners, whom he
pronounces the worst of the lot, are tried and
executed.

Fillmore County All Right.

The Democracy of Fillmore County, 10
Convention, at Preston, on Wednesday last,
selected eight delegates to the State Con-
vention. The following resolution also
passed the Convention, which may be taken
as an indication of the sentiments of the
delegates elect:
RESOLVED, That Stephen A. Douglas is the
first choice of the Democracy Of Fillmore
county for the Presidency; and that the dele.
gates this day appointed be and they are hereby
instructed to vote only for such delegates to
the Charleston Convention, as will use all hon.
orahle means to procure his nomination.

European News.

We have European news to the 22d De-
cember, but it is unimportant.
The meeting of the European Congress is
definitely fixed for the Goth of January.
Representatives of nearly all the powers
had been announced.
The London Times on the execution of
Brown, ridicules Northern sympathy when
too late, and predicts that the matter will
tend to strengthen the South.
The weather throughout England had
been very severe in some places the ther-
mometer is reported to have fallen within
three or four degrees of zero. The weather
in France corresponded with that in Eng
land. The temperature had not been so low
for seventeen years.
Letters from Naples state that during the
night between the 18th and 18th of De.
cember, numerous arrests were made, incu-
ding several eminent persons. The persons
arrested were accused with clandestiney
printing journals and of having supported
the subscription in behalf of GAR1BALD1,
several documents concerning which were
seized.
The London Times of December 18th,
contains significant article on Mexico, in
which it admits that the Intervention of the
United States, in the affairs of that distract
ed Republic, would be beneficial. The article
is as follows:
But thirteen years ago the Spanish
America Republic was thought by the two
most experienced statesmen in Europe, Sir
R. Peel and NJ. Guizot, to have in it the
elements of vitality and strength. The pro-
gress of the United States was at that time
looked upon with some degree of concern by
the statesmen of Europe, and the favorite
project was to build up in Mexico
fabric capable OF resisting the advance of
the Anglo-Saxon wave. This American
balance OF power may have been always a
chimera, but the fact that it could have en-
tered the brains of men of sense shows that
even in 1916 Mexico appeared to the world
as State of resources and strength. But
who would now think of opposing Ameri
can ambition by means Of any Mexican
organization So far from expecting that
Mexico will be able to keep single pro.
vince which the United States desire to
possess, the prevalent feeling is desire that
the Americans may bring matters to a close
by occupying the whole country. To put this
miserable bastard Republic out of it's misery,
to pr event the savage revolutionary leaders
from hanging, shooting, and torturing when

Ohio Speaks.

The State of Ohio elected delegates to
Charleston by Congressional districts, but
in every district in the State friends of
Judge DOUGLAS were chosen, and in most of
them the delegates were instructed. On the
5th, Democratic State Convention met at
Columbus to appoint four delegates at large
The Convention was fully attended, and very
enthusiastic resolutions were adopted, almost
unanimously, declaring STEPHEN A. Doua-
LAS the favorite of the Ohio Democracy for
the Presidency, and instructing the delegates
elected to cast the entire vote of the State
for him.
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana
will next speak, and we hope equally as de-
cided as the Buckeye Democracy.

SEWARD FOR PREs1DENT.-The New
York Tribune is down on Senator SEWARD
as the Black Republican nominee for the
Presidency. He isn't sufficiently available
for that philanthropic sheet. 1t is said that
scarcely one of the Republican members Of
the United States Senate is in favor of bis
nomination, and the Tribune thus stabs him
under his fifth rib: "While we should like
right well to elect President of his stamp.
we have never favored his nomination for
that post, because we have never been able
to figure up, with any confidence, the votes
wherewith he could be elected. We select
and nominate candidates to secure the
ascendency of our principles, and have never
been able to see how we evinced friendship
for favorite statesman by exposing him to
q morally certain defeat"

IT now seems that B. D. PECK, the State
Treasurer of Maine, was lately one of the
irrepressible conflict" preachers in Port
land. He was pastor of the Casco street

in the negro and old JOHN BROWN cause !;

The Hon. NEAL Dow, of Portland, Me.
had very narrow escape from a terrible
death, on Wednesday last. While walking
across a rafter in his steam tannery, he fell

hot water. He was picked up insensible,
but is now in fair way of recovery.
In its review of the year, the New York
Times says, d" two crowns have been taken,
one from the forehead villainous low of
the hated Ferdinand of Naples, and one
from the lovely brow of the gentle Stepha-

his bloody account in far India, and the
sweet voice of one of the worlds sweetest
singers, Madame Bos1o, was frozen into
silence among the SHOWS of st. Petersburg.

The largest emporium for furs in the
world is doubtless Moscow and apropos of
this last named city, we recently learned
from one who was present at the first worlds
fair in London, in 1851, when the furs from
Moscow for the exposition were being un-
rolled, he observed that each fur contained
swans quill. one end Of which was lightly
corked. On inquiring of the Russian gen.
tleman who had the furs in charge, he was
informed that the quilts contained liquid
quicksilver, and were certain preventive of
the attacks of moths. Next to Moscow as
fur emporium, comes st. Petersburgh,
then London, Leipsic, &c. In this country
New York is the great fur mart, and Maid
en- Lane the street where furriers most do
congregate.
