The Dahomey massacre seems to have
been as bloody and revolving as it possibly
could be the victims were numbered by
thousands. In the London Times is the fol.
lowing extract from letter dated :" Cape
Coast Castle, Gold Coast, Sept. l6.-The
atrocities at Dahomey have far exceeded the
report of which you are awAre. Thousands
have been sacrificed. Latterly there came
a steamer on that coast and shipped
off 1900 slaves. A man-o f.war being on
the spot, saw the vessel, but suspected
nothing Of her design. We hear that
English people and other Europeans have
been Imprisoned there-most probably from
refusing to witness the human sacrifice, or
take part in the rites of diabolical supersti-
ton"

LtncOln...His Cabinet-.-Win he De.

In the New York Tribune of the 10th,
we find telegrapbic despatch from Spring
field, which states that Mr.. LINCOLN is
urged to declare his future policy but "al-
though he is not at all unmindful of the
uneasiness which may exist in many parts
of the country, nor Of the unfortunate COM
mercial troubles that may have been
threatened, be still does not discover any
cause for specially developing his policy, or
offering any public expression of his views"

pondent telegraphs:
Mr.. Lincoln laughs good naturally at the
various Cabinets made up for him by the
newspapers. His attention was directed to-
day to Mr.. Curtis Noyes' Wall street
speech, suggesting Rives, Bolts, Bell and
Winter Davis for Cabinet positions. He
laughed. and said he thought that was
enough for the South. He said that some
were not content with giving him one name,
but mentioned two or three for each Office.
He con tinues to receive applications for
office from Southern men.
The following Cabinet was made up for
him today by the Democracy OF this place:
Secretary of State-Wm. H. Seward.
Secretary of War-F. P. Blair, Jr.
Secretary of the Navy-H. W. Davis.
Secretary of the Treasury-Jo ohm Sherman.
Postmaster General-H. Etheridge
Attorney Generals. T. Logan.
Secretary of the lnteriOr--John Hickman.
A despatch from Washington dated No.

Ton CoRwIN, of Ohio, can, if he will, occu-
py a prominent position in Mr.. LINcoLN's
Cabinet, and in the event Of his declining to
do so, an invitation will be extended to MIR.

U. S. Marshal arrested fugitive slave. Az
he was about taking her before U. S

rescue was connived at and aided by the
police of Chicago.

Will Chief Justice fancy Resign.

As it is known that Judge fancy is now
quite old and very feeble, it is often inquired
whether he will not resign before the in
coming of new Administration may have
the appointment of successor. In the
absence of all direct information, the fol-
lowing anecdote is submitted as throwing
some light on the subject--from which We
should infer that he belongs to the race of
oficeholders who seldom die and never re-
sign:
"When the Library in the capitol was
in flames, and clouds Of smoke were rolling
out and enveloping the building, the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court appeared in
his seat at the usual hour, looking quite
tranquil and undisturbed. May it please
your Honor said an officer of the Court,
will the Court sit to-day?' The Chief
Justice looked up, and cody and signif-
cantly asked, Is the court room really on
fire p sOh no, not yet was the answer
Then aoeW SIT till 1t u.s. added the Chief.
And the Court did sit, and transacted
business as usual, amid all the confusion
about it"

The outrage offered to Mr.. Douglas at
Montgomery, was not as important mat
ter as we have been led to suppose. A sin
gle egg was thrown at him while he was
passing from his carriage to the hotel. The
egg was very bad one, indeed. 1t smelt
like the breath of the spirit Of dissolution
or rather decomposition. The Breckenridge
Club passed resolutions denouncing the in.
suit to Judge D., and sent a copy of the re-
solves to him. Montgomery is ahead o.

adopted by the House Of Delegates on the
26th of March, 1851
z RESOLVED, That Virginia earnestly and af.
fectionately appeals to her sister State Of South
Carolina to desist from any meditated seces-

the destruction of the Union, and the loss to all
of the States of the benefits that spring from

ministered, provides adequate protection to
the rights of all the States of this o0nfederacy,
and still looking to that instrument for defence
within the Union, warned by the experience
of the past, the dangers of the present, and the
hopes of the future, invokes all who live under

The London Journals TEEN with reports

The London journals TEEN with reports
of murder. The London Times proclaims
that murder is the principal topic Of the
day; its columns are literally filled with
stories of crime. Six instances have re-
Gently been brought before the English
public; in two of these, the murderers were
taken red-han6ed; in two Others, suspected
persons have been committed for trial; in
the remaining two, the assassins are still un-
discovered; justice has in the last cases been
absolutely baffled by the subtlety or fortune
of the criminals. The journals comment on
this state of affairs sadly, and speak of the
destruction of morals and the d-basement of
the national character.

A JUST VERD1cr.-At the election in
the State of Maryland, the question of en-
shaving the whole of the negro population
at present free within the State, was SUBJ
mitted to the popular vote. The result
reflects credit upon the people of Maryland.
The proposition seems to have been defeated
by an overwhelming majority; and the Bal
timore american, noticing the result, says:
" In all the counties in Maryland from which
we have received returns in which the act
for the enslavement sof free negroes was
submitted to the people, the voters have
emphatically and signally denounced that
unjust and unchristian law. The question
has been met and decided without any ref
erence to party politics, and the law is
defeated by majorities amounting almost to
ananimity. The result is greatly creditable
to the counties in which the vote was taken,
and honorable to the State at large" ~.

DIsFRANCHIsING THE PEoPLE-In the
city of New York, owing to the delay pro-
duced by the operation of the Registry Law,
from $4,000 to 10000 voters were prevented
from depositing their ballots, and eonse-
quently were virtually DISTINGUISHED. The
Herald says: In numerous cases persons
waited from one O'Clock till shutdown, and
could not get an opportunity of voting.
The same difficulty occurred in Brooklyn,
where the Republicans are III minority"

The Halifax papers contain advices from
Newfoundland, which state that serious
apprehensions are felt in st. Johns that
starvation must ensue during the winter in
several of the outlying districts, in consc-
quence of the almost total failure of the
fishery and the potato crop. The Legisla-
ture of the Island has been convened to
meet on the Sd of December, to devise
means to arrest the threatened calamity.

BEEcHER ON Rich MEN.--In the course
of his last Sabbath morning sermon, Henry
Ward Beecher pitched right and left into
the members of Christian churches who
shirk jury duty, militia duty, civic duty Of
all kinds, and the paying Of taxes in partic-
ular. He said: "As men grow rich they
grow mean. Why,I know men-pious
men-who actually perjure themselves about
their property, that they may save what is
justly due the city for taxes. They are as
mean-as-well- meanness has tunneled
them from end to end, and the biggest one
runs through the heart, and the Devil runs
his trains through and through" ''i y ~

The Triumph Of Douglas.

"For the triumph of DOUGLAS" says the
New York Freeean's Journal, sit is not in
the least important that, either now or at
any later period, he should be elected
President of the United States. His tri-
umph is this, that, no matter who may be
next President, and no matter what may
have been the avowed sentiments heretofore
of the man elected, he will be obliged to
take the principles and policy Of Judge
DOUGLAS on the vexed questions of the
Territories end slavery, and to carry them
out without the altering of q word. DoUG-
LAS has elucidated the true American theo-
ry, and has impressed his principles on the
mind and conscience of the whole people.
LINCOLN, if elected, must fulfill the predic-
lions of his more conservative supporters,
CoRw1N and EWING. and throw aside the
Republican party platform tor the platform
that DOUGLAS has created. Had it been
possible for Boiling Brock to have been
elected, that vain and foolish man must nave
done the same thing with his Southern Black
Republicanism. The policy of DOUGLAS
will be the perpetual policy of the country.
His Interpretation of the Constitution Of
the United States is already recognized as
the only true one. This is his triumph, and
it is enough for one man. We had almost
said that the triumph would be impaired
by the accident of his afterwards succeeding
to the chair which functionaries like TYLER
and BUCHANAN have occupied"

And Still Another Cabinet.

The N. Y. Herald correspondent tele-
graphs from Springfield, on the 18th, that
Mr.. LINCoLN's cabinet will be nearly as fol-
lows:
Secretary of State.-Judge Mclean, of Ohio.
Secretary of Treasury. L. Dayton, of NJ.
Postmaster Gen.-Fitz Henry Warren, of Iowa.
Secretary Of War.--Cassius NJ. Clay, of Ky.
Sec'y of Navy.--Emerson Etheridge of Tenn.
Secretary of Interor.--Galusha A. Grow, of Pa.
Attorney General.--H. Winter Davis, of Md.
Says the Herald "Mr. Grow is the
youngest and most radical man in the above
named list, and be is of the Banks school of
politics, an old Pennsylvania Democrat and
supporter of Polk and Dallas, and probably
no man knows more about the public land
question, in all its details, than he, which
fact makes him the more valuable for the
post of Secretary of the Interior"
