IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL QUESTION An important commercial question has been sub- mitted to the Supreme Court of the U. s., for adjudication. An act of Congress pro- vidcs that home manufactured articles which arc returned again in their original state, shall be free from duty. Under this net mil lions of barrels and hogsheads have been ex- ported to return again, filled with sugar or molasses. The Government in the suit in question, claim to recover duties upon large quantity of barrels sent to Cuba and return ed with sugar. The Government claim that these barrels are not returned in the original state, but became part and parcel of the package of molasses or sugar, or whatever the contents may be. As this is question affecting the commercial interests throughout the country, the federal judges have certified a division of opinion, and thus sent it to the full court. It is estimated that the result will affect the revenue to the extent of be- tween three and four millions of dollars an- nually.

 THE CHILDREN'S HOUSE.
 BY II. W. oNGFKILow. Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes pause in the days occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. hear in the chamber above me,
 The batter of little feet, The sound of door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and then silence:
 Yet l know by their merry eyes, They are plotting and planning together To take me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairway,
 A sudden raid from the hall :! By three doors left unguarded
 They enter my castle wall They climb up into my turret
 Der the arms and back of my chair; If try to escape, they surround me; They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till think of the Bishop of Bingen In his Moose-Tower on the Rhine! Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, Because you have seal d the wall, Such an old moustache as am Is not match for you all I have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down in the dungeons In the round-tower of my heart. And there will l keep you forever, Yes, forever and day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away!

ACCEPTED!

We are glad to be able to say that the
challenge of Geo. Crawford, Of this place,
to discuss the political issues Of the day.
has been accepted by the Rev.Mr. Glenn
ems. We have not learned what arrange.
ments have been made by the parties for
the prosecution Of the discussion.
George at first objected on the grounds
that Mr.. Clemens did not belong to any
party; he was reminded however, that
he left the Democratic party last spring,
and as the Republicans refused to receive
him. ho too, occupies the position of an
outsider, the only difference being that
Mr.. G. occupies the position from choice
and upon principle, while George has
been forced 10 it because no party will
admit him into its ranks.

If our readers should discover lack
of spirit or pi,n in our columns to-day, we
hope they will attribute it to the annihila

ing attack made upon the editor on last
Friday night at the meeting of the Dem.
ocratic Club, by the eloquent, able and
accomplished Ora wford, of this place.
In fact we have no heart for the fight
since the cruel and unmerciful manner in
which we were handled on that occasion
and shall have to patiently await the ar
rival of. N. who has consented to ente,
the.political arena and grapple this intel.
lectual giant.iu our defence. We tremble a,
the idea Of poor ]. N. cncountering this
modern Demosthenes, but have grea,

Douglas on the Drcd Scott Decision.
AS there are some men in this community
who claim that Mr.. Douglas does not en-
dorse the Dred Scott Decision. and others
who insist that the construction given to
that instrument by their opponents is in
correct, we propose not only to give little
Dug's endorsement Of the decision, but
also his own construction OF it, Here's an
extract from his New Orleans speech, de-
livered for Southern consumption exclu.
sively. He says:
"The Democracy Of Illinois. in the
first place, accepts the decision Of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, in the
case Of Dred Scott.as an authoritative inter-
probation Of the Constitution.
"In accordance with that decision, we
hold that SLAVES are PROPERTY, and hence
on an equality with all other kinds Of pro-
perty; and the owner Of slave has the
same right to move into Territory, and
carry his slave property with him, as the
owner Of any other property has to move
there and carry his property.
Now, if the Constitution of the United
States protects the slave owner and bis
property in the territories while they re.
main in their territorial condition, how,
in the name Of common sense can the
territorial legislature interfere with the
rights guaranteed by that Instrument
And yet they tell you that Mr.. Douglas
and his followers are in favor Of the peo.
pie deciding this question for themselves,
notwithstanding be has himself said tha,
under the Constitution of the United
States man has as much right to own
slave property in the territories as he has
to own horses or any other kind of pro.
perty. Now if the constitution Of the
United States guarantees this right tc
man, what power on earth has the rigbt
TO deprive him Of it? Is il the province
of territorial legislatures to pass law,
that conflict with the Constitution of the
United States? Certainly not. Then
where's your pop ular sovereignty hum
bug?
