ssPETERs NoE.''-Amoag the foreign
news brought by the Asia is the statement
that the Pope is claiming s'Peter's pence"
from all the faithful, having already expended
the l 100000 crowns, contributed by the faith
full throughout the world. The sPeter's PENCE
is not voluntary contribution, but direct
tax levied on every household throughout the
country placed under contribution. 1t is sup
posed to have first originated in England, and
was for centuries paid as tribute money from
subject province to the Central Roman
Catholic power at Rome. At one time it a.
mounted to penny every house and at a.
mother to penny on every twenty pence own
ed by the family. 1t was recognized by the
Norman laws of William the Conqueror, was
discontinued by Edward Ill, but afterwards
revived, and only terminated by the rupture
of Henry VIII with the See of Rome. s.Pe-
ter's pence'' were paid by France, Poland,
and other realms, but for long period the
the tribute has not been claimed. Its at
tempted renewal at the present time is the
assertion of claims that were disputed even
during the medieval ages, and it will be curl
Gus to see how the Roman Catholics in this
country will act in the matter. Will they
virtually renounce their citizenship in the
United States, by paying tax imposed on
them by foreign potentate or will they meet
this arrogant demand with the answer of Lew
is of France cam Rome's slave ?''

A horrible discovery has been made recent
ly, at the church of the village of Boulogne,
between Paris and st. Cloud, which is now
under repair. Underneath the altar of the
Virgin there has been found the body OF
young girl of IA, who disappeared three years
ago, and of whom her parents, inhabitants of
the place, have never since had any news.
The neighborhood is in state of great ex-
citement on the subject, but the Paris journals
will not be allowed to speak of it. The girl is
described as having been very beautiful and
precociousy developed. She had been to her
first confession shortly before her disappear
ance.
The census takers are catching it on all
hands. In 1850, Columbus polled 1853 votes,
and had population of IL $50. In 1860, the
city polled 3245 votes, and has population of
1868. Increase in votes 1892; increase in
population 756. During the ten years, no
new buildings have been erected. This dis
crepency is easy enough accounted for: all
the boys of 1850 have grown up to be voters,
got married and moved into their own houses,
while nobody has been born there since

HOME GUARDS AND HOME PROTECTION.

In The event the militsrs companies Of our town
be called of, tho question has been nsked, what
shall wo do with the negroes. 10 order to secure
protection to cur homes aud familiesi Believing
the greatest danger to be from this quarter, we
would suggest this simple mode
Let there be q company Of Hons Guards organ
iteG, composed Of married men, armed with duub-
le.barrel gune, and let them turn the Court House
Into n barracks, for their use. Let II committee
be formed TO visit every house within Tho corpota-
'ion, to ascertain If they have a regro fellow OI
doubtful or suspicious character. Let all such be
gathered together and form II chain gang TO be
led out TO work, chained twO-aud-two. by QUO OF
more overseers, and ut night to he safely secured
in our Jail and guarded Ly sentinels. The women
ana children living in remote poiats to be brought
within the limits of the squire and the protection
OF tie company, their homes being left with negro
women and children. A military guard to be
placed day and night adjacent to tho square, and
at points occupied by the women a,eo, a pickle
guard Of any sufficient number be stationed at va
Fious parts Of the town, to overlook tie vacated
homes. and see that nono without the limits uf the
corporation, white or black, be allowed to pass.
by this simple means we will be enabled to pro.
tect our homes aud families with d very small
loree from the dangerous negroes in our midst, and
at the same time make their services valuable ia
raising provisions for home consumption. X

ANOTHER INDICTMENT.

The Grand Jury Of tho u. S Court tyr the
Northern District Of Ohio has found bills against
Rev, George Gordon, james Hammond, Ashbuty
Parker, Calvin Rowland, Joseph I. Baldwin. T..
D. Asbury, Jonathan McLaTCn. The charge is
for obstructing service Of process by U. S.. Marshal
S. W. Clifford, Of the Southern District Of Ohio,
and hie deputies at Iberia, Morrow county, on the
27,h Of September last, in their attempt to atrest
q fugitive slave. They are alto indicted for pros
e%cuting the owners Of the negro ard their as, ist-
ants. with q view to obstruct them in the reclama-
ton Of the negro under the Fugitive Slave Law.
In both cases The defendants arc charged with
committing the alledged offences in company with
= large number ot persons unknown to the Grand
Jury,
Were not these men aware of the fact that the
ancient law, which commanded Thou shalt not
deliver Unto tho master the servant which has
escaped from his master unto thee" had been re-
pealed by the United States C~ongrcssi in 1850, aud
that Compromise measures, between Satan and
Jehovah were then adopted with the express un-
derstanding that hencefurih the law shall read
Thou shaH deliver unto the master tho servant
which has escaped from his master rhtO thee? Tt

done. was an act as silly as CHE :Oohshness Of

PERSONAL LIBBRTY a W

SO far as the laws referred to are concerned it
10 entirely ciear that the States enacting them are
the aggressurs. They have been The pioneers III
the work Of disunion and secession. They have
deliberately repudiated one Of the plain and ex-
plici, articles Of the constitutions, and the laws Of
Congress founded thereon, and, 10y state action.
have as far as possible, rejected and nuIli6ed both.
Atlas and Argus.
The Fugitive Slave Law was not only ~"aggress-
i've" but vindic,ive- so vindictive that il defeats
its executions; for the popular sentiment was
aroused lees by the principle Involved in the Law
than by it's obnoxious and hostile details. The
bill was framed moro with y view to degrade and
outrage fIeemen than 20 restore slaves. We rails
ed this objection 20 it while pending in the United
States Senate, and have kaowu ever since that il
the law is n nulliiy. it has been rendered void
more On account Of it's yindictivtucss than Of its
principles.
That The constitution calls for q Congressional
Flu gitiye Slave law we have never denied. Non
do we hesitate in yielding obedience to AL the re-
quirements of the constitutior. But there is Il
decent and a Lruta! way Of enforcing every right
Senator Mason, of Virginia. in framing the Fugi-
tive Slave Law. mnde it odious and insulting. lls
speech in is favor was bitter and imperative. IT,
short. it was a bill better calculated tif, indeed,
that was not its intent to cause strife and discord
than to carry out a hard provision 6f the constitu-
lion. And to their shame be it spoken, northern
duughfaces voted for and passed it.
New York has enacted no Personal Liberty law
Though pressed frequently upon the legislature.
in retaliation for the ri.dictics provisions Ct the
Fugitive Slave law, we have never felt that Their
was any practical necessity for it. We have not,
and are not likely TO softer any aLridgment Of per
soual liberty.
We cannot speak for other states farther than
be awakened ali around, this question might be ad.
iusted. The South. in the language OF Mr.. Lin
coin, is "enlitled to an efficient Fugitive Slave
law" Let such a law be enacted promptly, when
Congress meets, and we venture to cxpress the
opinion that Personal Liberty laws would be re-
pea'ed.
The federal officers should he armed with oil
she authority and power needCnl in executing the
Fugitive Slave law. Il should punish all who re-
sist it's execution. But when it irhicts pains and
penalties, in the iorm Of fine and imprisonment
upon private citizens who refuse to hetome either
sheriff, consraLles or policemen, it goes too far
and exScts too much.
There is, however, but faint hope of awakening
in South Carolina, anything like justice, reason or
common sense. That state has no interest in, and
dares nothing for the Fugitive Slave law. The
trsason rife there has been seeking prctexts for
years. 1t has only a pretexs now-a lame and
himsy presest.

Ma. LLScoLS's PosITIoN.-We publish, on our
FIRST page the ,rhole Of Senator Trumtull's speech
at 81 ringftld, Ill. Those which have heretofore
appeared in the papers Of this vicinity, having
been but q part of it. The papers are making
various on the fact that il is conserva-
tive, and IOreshadows Mr.. Lincoln's policy. A.
to the policy Of the Ptesiden. elect, We do moi
know; but We do know that The position taken by
Mr.. Trumbull is the position Of tho Republican
party. 1t is in accordance with the policy of that
party rs laid down at Chicago, and as It was adj
voca,ed by all Republican s~peakors and the Re-
publican press Of the country. None but fools OF
knaves pretend that the Republicans ever contem.
plated interference with slavety in tho States.
or proposed to violate the letter or spirit of the
Constitution in any respect. At the tine the par
~ was formed, il made no such declarations, Dor
mas il ever given reason for such a suspicion. II
Mr.. Lincoln did not carry out essentially, the
views expressed by Mr.. Trumbuil, we repeat, he
would not carry out the views Of the Republican,
party aud would have no claim to it's support.

We repeat that the Governor Of 0hiu was wrong
in refusing to surrender a fugitive charged with
negro stealing. but the wrong, it must be comics.
sed, was not que which Kentucky and Kentuckians
have any peculiar right 20 condemn. GOV. MagOf-
fin knows very we'll that Que Of his predecessors, a
Governor Of :his State, q good many years age,
refused, upon aIequisition from the Governor oil
Indiana, ~ surrender a fugitive charged with kid.
nnuping a negro from that State, the ground us
sumed being that II WAS no crime by Kentucky
law. The offender in that case was, We under
stand. a member Of the Kentucky Legislature. and
he was demanded as n fugitive from Justice by the
Governor ct Indiana tor having gone over to that
State aud torclbly seized and brought u negro to
Kentucky without legal process, and the Cover
nor ut henturky, sustained by the Kentucky Lee
