slavery In New Jer.ey.

It having been stated, in connection with the
announcement of Mr.. PenningtOn's election as
Speaker, that New Jersey is "nominally q
Slave Ststs," the Boston Journal gives the fol-
lowing facts relative to Slavery in that State:
"Eew Jersey Professionally abolished slavery
in l7s4, by ordaining that all children born of q
slave after 1904 should be made free in 1920
This left those born prior to that period TO re-
main unaffected by the statute. In 1910 there
were 674 slaves in that State, while, while in
1850 there we're but 296 It is probable that a
few still remain. In 1910 there were ten other
Stairs which held slaves in about the same
manner, but which returned none in 1880, for
the reason, in some cases, perhaps, because the
slave schedules were net sent TO them in the
latter year Still, in ls40, we apprehend it
would hardly have given correct idea to have
spoken of Rhode Island, Connecticut and New
York as ''nOminelly slave States" though they
were then in the same position in this respect
that New Jersey is now"

The Public Works.

In noticing the passage Of the bill to repeal
the 9th section Of the act Of April IL, 1883,
"for the regulation Of the Public Works Of the
State Of Ohio" the Toledo Blade remarks:
The section repealed Is the one which con-
fers the appointment OfsubOrdinate officers on
the Baara. rhs effect of the new act, as we
understand it, Is TO suspend the appointing
power, TO await further legislative action 10
the premises. No one now has the power to
appoint new officers on the Public Works
This action on the part of the General As.
sembly is explained by the understanding that
Mr. Backus, Tor whose particular benefit and
that Of the Democratic party, the act OF 1898
was passed, was about TO re>appoint all the
officers on his Division for the coming year.
This purpose has now been defeated. and the
Legislature can 20 on and perfect measures fer
restoring the Public Works TO the control con.
templated BY the Constitution, and make such
provisions for their more economical and eti-
eient management as shall be deemed proper
What to do with the Public Works is a vexe1
question 10 settle. The House Of Representa-
tives has by resolution enquired Of the Board
Of Public Works for information touching the
following propositions:
First, An absolute sale of ths Public Works.
Second, The leasing Of the same for a num-
beT Of years.
Third, The continued care and cou.rOl Of the
same by the State under the present system Of
management.
The answers do not solve the difficulty
Mr. Waddle, the senior member, and whose
term Of Office expired on The 18th, is of opinion
that the best interests of the State require an
sbsOlute sale of the Public Works if one million
Of dollars can be obtained for them, and securi-
tv against all future liabilities on account Of
contracts and leases. He sees no prospect OF
their yielding revenue sufficient TO keep them
in repair.
Mr.. Backus is opposed to sale, and believes
the interests Of the State would be better sub
served By leasing the Public Works for term
of years, with proper restrictions and safe
guards. Hoagrees with Mr.. n. that under the
present system expenses cannot be paid from
the revenues.
Mr.. Martin differs with his colleagues, but of
the two projects prefers an absolute sale to
leasing for term of years, and is opposed 10
letting the repairs by contract. He thinks a
continuance Of State management on plan of
the most rigid economy, is preferable to either
a sale or lease Of the State Works.
Bills to sell and to lease the Public Works
are before the Legislature, and the Reports
briefly epitOmized viii leave members more in
the dark as to the best final action than ever

sympAhy for Italy.

The New York journals contain call for a
public meeting to express sympathy for the
people of Italy in their hopes and struggles for
freedom. It is signed BY distinguished citizens,
among them Gen. Scott, Gov. Fish, John A.
Dix, W F. Hsvemeysr, and W. G. Bryant
A letter from a distinguished gentleman in
Italy to friend in New York, dated Central
Italy, Jan Sd, states that the people are deter
mined not to accept the government of the
Pope, but are arming themselves with great
strength and preparing against coming events
They are determined to fight for freedom to the
last drop of blood.

The United states Troops in Utah

The grand army which has been kept SO long
in Utah to the advantage of the MOmOns and
at heavy drain on the public Treasury, is to
be in the main withdrawn next spring. Many
millions have been squandered in the worse
than useless expedition, for it is admitted on all
hands that Brigham Young end his Saints
have not improved materially in manners or
morals under Uncle Sans military rule. OF
the movement of troops a late Washington
dispatch says:
The main body of the troops in Utah will
not be moved till about April, when the grass
begins to sproute. Gen. Johnston will com
mSnd them until they reach their new destina-
ton in Texas and New Mexico, and may after
ward, unless relieved. One alleged object Of
lnis movement is to throw a large force on the
Rio Grande, TO check the collisions between
our people and the Mexicans, which are grow
ing more frequent and dangerous, and to re-
press the Indian outbreaks, which have occa-
stoned so much alarm and injury. The force
to remain in Utah will consist Of one company
of iying artillery, three of cavalry, and six OF
infantry, under the command of Col. Charles ?.
Smith, one of the best officers in the service.

LnI,e superIor In,eniaence.

The Lake Superior Journal of the lst speaks
of the weather as mild, and the great body Of
snow mostly melted away under south wind
and sunshine. The thaw commenced January
nth. On the 2sth, weather scarcely above the
freezing point Of mining matters the journal
says;
We learn by communication, direct from On
tonaeon, that several Of the mines in that dis
trict are opening richer than ever before. The
Minnesota, for several months, had no show Of
masses, but now abounds in them, Of all di-
mensions, some being of nammothproporti
in different parts of the mine. The National
too is disclosing masses in many parts of the
mine, and among them, mammoth one, e,whose
dimensions have not yet been aseertained. The
force at present, lie mainly employed in opening
the mine, and yet, the product is over fifty tons
per month In the Rockland too the force is
employed more in opening the mine, than in
stoPing and taking out copper. They have
passed through reh ground, ensuring rich
harvest when they come to stopping in earnest.
The Nebraska and 0gima are also presenting
better shows Of copper than ever before
We learn also by gentlemen direct from Port
age Lake, that the mines there are still becom-
ing more and more productive.

Dixon, the Roman Catholic Pri-

the Catholics of DrOgheda, in which he denOun-
ces Napoleon III, and his course towards the
Pope. He declares that the prison of Ham,
rather than the palace of the Tuilleries, is the
proper place for the Emperor, and concludes his
letter with these words:
But let US hope that a voice viii yet reach
him which, by the awe that it shall inspire, will
have the effect ofparalyzing the hand stretched
out against the Holy Father-I mean the voice
