"Wbile all the applicants present showed by their

Der Of the class has shown instructed

that il il well nigh impossible for any person however

the eXartiOns Of the law in the comparatively short
space Of time which the candidates appear to have de-
voted TO that purpose. Under recent system seven

KIDsAPrIsG IN KEsTUcSY.-Considerab excite
ment has lately been raised in Cincinnati and the
neighboripg City of Newport, in Kentucky. IT Is
about a case of kidnapping, the victim being boy
named Wsggoner, and the facts can easily than
in any other way be gathered from the following quo
aiion which ia made from The Cincinnati Enquirer,
q Democratic paper: Az
"Tbe case is hard one-indeed, il 90 unjust as 10
shock every vf right. colored boy, under the
charge that he slave aud had escaped from his
owner is taken to Kentucky and imprisoned until his
owner calls for and takes him away. No owner can
be found for him. none calls TO claim him. at the
end Of mouths Of Imprisonment. Every presumption
IN fvr OF his Innocence Indeed he II proved TO
have been born free. Instead Of being released, how
ever Ga he should have been and returned " Ohio, he
s still longer detained in prison until he pays the cost
of his keeping i0r lie previous months. He had no
means when he was taken TO prison on the charge OF
being runaway slave, and while In confinement ne
had DO opportunity of earning what would pay his
board in jail, or court and jail fees In ine he
was worse off, pecuniary, at the end Of SIX months
than he was at the commencement. lie had not been
imprisoned and kept in confinement for any violation
of tie law of Kentucky, not even for yagrancy. lie
was taken into the State against his WILL and inprs
ontd suspicion that be the slave OF some person
or persons in Virginia. The laws Of Kentucky, in:
stead of making the party who had the boy imprisoned
pay all the expenses attending the imprisonment as
light and Justice would plainly dictate, they re-
qHire the innocent party not only TO undergo the I'M
prsonment but TO pay the costs OF his unjust near
ceraob and, if he fails TO pay, he is sold into perpe-
ual slavery Can any case be harder than that"
The Cincinnati Gazette states tba. the sale of the
boy disgseefuly hurried on, that the Sheriff lied
in connection with it, and that the Mayor, Hawk
by name, before whom writ Of habeas corpus was
made returnable, would not allow the freedom of the
boy to he proved-wOuld not allow any evidence to be
