How a New Yorker Became q South Car,
Oliua Soldier

A young gentleman connected with an
extensive business house in this city, which,
we believe, has branch house in Charleston,
espoused the cause Of secession with unsur-
passed zeal. BE was one of the frst to dis
play a disunion cockade in the streets of
Charleston. Not one of the nstive-born
chivalry could outdo this New Yorker in loud
denunciation of the North, and violent huz-
zas for Southern confederAcy.
He was one of the FIRST TO volunteer his
services to the Palmetto State and after the
forts were abandoned by Major Anderson, he
was among the brave soldiers who took pos
session. BE was so patriotic that he would
receive nothing from the State, and insisted
on defraying bis own expenses, in which de-
sire he encountered no opposition.
But this was not enough. The new re-
public was not satisfied with even all this
devotion, and the authorities recently taxed
him four thousand dollars for lhe aid of the
good cause.
Suddenly the patriotic ardor Of the New
Yorker cooled. he shouted no more for Sc
cession; he painted no more for the '.deadly
imminent breach )" but with all possible haste
packed up his things and came to New York,
where be now is, q wiser, If not better man.

TIE Ohio E.sGiaiaturo and the COmu,issIOu-
Il Is humiliEting that with Republican
majority Of $4,000 votes, Ohio has not . Re
publican majority in-her Legislature. The fact
isasiaftling one, as well as humilisting for
the people have rspOssd full confidence in their
legislators as rejecting the Republican sent,
ms1t Of the State; but It is evident fron the
setion Of the House Of Representatives on
Tuesday last taat there are some honorable
gentlemen who were elected IS Republic ms,
and VINO have been counted in, in the esti-
mates Of Republican strength, who are now
lsoEking with the Democrats, in The test
question which has come up. They were
ready to Be called Republicans while they
could conveniently do 50, ,butnow throw of the
mask and side withOur political enemies. The
test question was upon the appointment Of
Commissioners 70 meet the Virginia Commis-
sionsrs at Washington on the 4th ofFebruary.
The Virginia resolutions ofiustructions to her
COmmissiOners,are such as no Republican can
conBcieniously subscribe 70. Beside the pro-
lection Of slavery in q portion Of the terrific
risss they demand the right to transport slaves
intoand through non-slaveholdiuE States and
Territories The natural result Of this last
provision would be to make slave States Of
ell those now free; for, if STAKEHOLDER may
tzke bis slave through Ohio, he may stop
here with heE for day, and if for aday, fOz
q month, a year, or ten years. But these
propositions would, of course, be discussed il
Convention, and every State is expected to
iuStTuctits delegates as to The course Of action
fhsy should pursue q7 7z~sfD
Now what have the House done. In the
ffst plsse, they have taken he appointing
power out the hands of the Governor, where
it belongs according to the Constitution, snd
assumed it themselves secondly, they have
appointed Commission, majority of whom
DO not reject the views Of the people Of the
staisi and thirdly, they have given them no
instructions, further than for them to urge an
Appointment OF the Convention until April.
The assumption Of power, they excuse by
saying that such Commission would be less
partiEau than one appointed BY the Govern
OF, while in. the very act they have shown 8
paTtizau spirit unworthy the source from
which ii snanates.
This action was brought about by the De-
moeracy,Fith the aid Of the nominal Repub-
lieans Of whom we have spoken. We have
the consolation Of & frm belief that the Sen
ate viii not confirm the appointment, and in
that We rsss iof tbs present

In the Senate to day Mr. Douglas asked
and obtained leave to introduce bill amend
atory Of and supplemental 10 the acts of the
18th of February 1893, aud the 18th Of
September, 1880, in respect to the rendition
Of fugitives from justice and service.
Section ! provides that the demand by q
Governor Of a State or Territory for the
surrender of fugitive from justice shall be
made upon Judge Of any federal court in
the State or Territory where the fugitive has
taken refuge, instead of being made on the
Governor, as by the act Of 1898, which was
rendered nugatOry by the decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States in the
case of Prigg vs.. Pennsylvania It is also
provided that the words +" treason, felony and
other crimes" shall be construed to include
all offences committed within and against the
State or Territory making the demand, wheth-
er the acts charged were criminal or not in
the State where the fugitive was found.
Section two provides for giving the fugi-
tive slave jury trial in the State or Terrific
~ from which he fed.
Section three provides that when, through
violence or intimidation, fugitiveslave shall
not be recovered, the owner may bring suit
for and recover the value in the Court OF
Claims, the amount to be paid from the uni
ted States Treasury, the solicitor thereof to
bring suit, in the name of the United States,
against the county, ,Oity,or municipality, where
the recovery was prevented, for the amount
paid for such fugitive.
Section four repeals all offensive parts ofthe
act of 1850 in respect to hsrboring and pro-
tecting fugitives, and to the fees paid in case
of rendition, and other obnoxious features.
Section five repeals all laws inconsistent
with this enactment.
The bill was read twice by unanimous con-
sent and referred to the Judiciary Commit

The President stin inclines to nominate
Judge Black for the late Judge Daniels va
cancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court,
but the declining Democratic strength in the
Senate, and Southern opposition to the ap-
pointment do not afford much encouragement
tor bis confirmation. That place belongs
properly to the next Administration, and
will be so treated, sfter the examples Of
Messrs. Crittenden and Badger, who were
suspended by Democratic majorities when
nominated for this Court by Mr. a dams and
Mr.. Fillmore until Gen. Jackson and Mr..
Pierce came into Office. Their own medi-
cine, judiciously administered, viii do them

The Chicago Board Of Trade, on their way
to this city, were courteously received By the
Boards OF Trade of the different cities through
which they passed, except in Baltimore,
where the Board voted not to receive them,
on account Of their coming from the West at
this time, fearing that they would be taken
for Wide Awakes. Instead Of receiving any
courtesies, they were annoyed by policemen,
who tracked them wherever they went. This
aused MI ny of the Chicago gentlemen who
are Democrats TO express themselves in terms
of indignation. They have been busy to-day
visiting the different points Of interest.
