Massachusetts Personal Liberty Bill.
The bill modifying the provisions of what
is called the Personal Liberty Law" which
passed the Senate of Massachusetts,, was
ordered to third reading in the House of
Representatives of that State a few days
since by vote of 81 to As. The Boston
Journal, in referring to this new act, of the
final passage Of which it has no doubt,
says: a. a fla Il
The obnoxious features of the old act are
certainly done away with. The custody of
the United States Marshal of the fugitive
is unimpaired, the honest claimant is pro.
tected to the extent of the constitutional
rights, and the peace Of the community is
not deprived of that security which it al
ways ought to find in we'll regulated militia.
Thus has Massachusetts put herself into I'm.

and too often disturbing subject. She ac-

We have the pleasure of adding Still
water to the list Of the cities of Minnesota
that have repudiated Black Republicanism.
Saltwater was carried last fall for LINCOLN
by . clean majority of one hundred and
twenty-one votes-and at the Tuesday cleo
ton was carried by the Democratic eagle
ticket" with majorities ranging from twen>
ty to fifty votes, for their several candidates.
The following are the officers elect:
Mayor-Mahlon Black.
City Recorder-John j. Robertson.
Coanciimen-Capt. James Davis, Albert
Simpson, Capt. E. W. Durant.
Jisstice Of the Peace-I. Van Week.
The result Of this election is more re.
markable, because large majority Of the
lumbermen, who are generally Democratic,
were in the pineries or attending to their
logs " on the drive" Black Republication
on the st. Croix, has received its death
blow. Hurrah for Saltwater

National Humiliation..What the Al
mighty Negro has Brought MS to.

The telegraph announced few days
since, that large Spanish naval force had
been dispatched to Cuba, to take possession
fSan Domingo, and that, with the consent
of France, Hayti will likewise be seized by
the Spanish troops. Here would be chance
to apply the "MoNRoE doctrine" but even
Spain can afford to laugh our solemn decla-
rations of state policy to scorn. Is it not a
singular fact, that just as the American
Government, which has long considered
Spanish ruin almost inevitable, and which
has made so many efforts to acquire Cuba,
is in great danger of being broken up, Spain
should not only retain her old possessions
but make new conquest of an important
island contiguous to our own shores? Our
domestic discussions render vigorous for
eign policy almost impossible for the present,
and we must expect to see but little defer
ence paid to our wishes and interests by
the naughty countries of Europe, while our
Union is endangered. And all this national
humiliation and disgrace has been brought
about by the success of sectional party.

RHODE IsLAND ELECTION.
Another Glorious Union Victory.

At the election In Rhode Island, on Wed
nesday, for State officers and Congressman,
the conservative men carried the State tri,
umphantly, electing their entire State ticket,
and two congressman. The Black Repub-
licans were beaten out Of sight. Gov. WV.
SPRAauE was re elected over j. Y. Smith,
Republican 8. G. ARNOLD was elected
Lieut.. Governor; WIS. BURGESS, Attor-
ney General; j. r. BARTLETT, Secretary of
State; and s. A. PARKER, State Treasurer.
All these gentlemen were supported by the
Democratic and Constitutional Union par
ties and they went before the people on
the platform of compromise and Cancellation.
But the most gratifying feature of the Rhode
Island election, is the defeat of ROBINSON
and BRAYToN, candidates for Congress, and
two as radical Republicans as there were in
the last House. The successful candidates
are GEO. III. BROWNE, Democrat, in the
first district, and w. P. SHEFFIELD, Union,
in the second.
This is glorious victory, and it occurs
at the right time. 1t will cheer the hearts
of the gallant men in the Border Southern
States, who are waging fierce warfare
with the secessionists and by demonstrate
ing that even in New England, the sectional
Republicans are not omnipotent, incite to
renewed exertion, the conservative men of
the North.
In November last, the vote of Rhode
Island stood-L1NcoLN 1924 DOUGLAS,
etc., 1907. Gov. SPRAaUE's majority last

WEBSTER was elected Mayor, over WILL

in vote of 629. The Democrats carried
every candidate, except City Treasurer,
and by majorities ranging as high as 1O4.
We also elected every Alderman and School
Inspector. One of the defeated Republi-
can candidates is M. WHEELER SARaEANT,
a member of the last Legislature, and an
ultra Republican, who declared, when it
was proposed to send Commissioners to the
Peace Congress, that "men never compro-
mise" - 49,

tions, they went in for blood, strongly; and
were as brave as JACKSON, on paper. Those
at home, who ventured mild dissent from
extreme measures, were stigmatized as
traitors, and threatened with short shrift
and stout rope. We were told that the
only basis of settlement, to be tolerated by
Minnesota, would be "the Constitution as
expounded in the Chicago platforms" that
it was beneath the dignity of men to COM

discourteous, but they exhibited shack.

Republican press with demonstrations of joy.

ALTHOUGH Office hunting presents many
farcical phases, yet it has its tragic side.
On Tuesday of last week, F. D. Owen, of
Chicago, committed suicide, by taking
laudanum, because of the receipt of the fol-
lowing despatch:
WASHINGTON, March 26.
The Senate to-day confirmed o. J. Dryer,
Commissioner to the Sandwich Islands.
Mr.. Owen was an applicant for this of.
flee. He was man of education and
ability.
The court martial trial of Henry Walker
Commander of the storeship Supply, which
was for some time in progress at the Brook
Ign Navy Yard, has resulted in virtual
acquittal. He was found guilty on the
specification of disobedience to orders, in
not returning from Pensacola to Vera Cruz,
and in bringing the Supply to New York ;
but in consequence Of the extraordinary
circumstances, the Court imposed the mild
sentence Of admonition by the Secretary of
the Navy.

of Massachusetts,, died on Saturday, aged
eighty years. He was elevated to the Bench

period of thirty years, when be resigned
on account Of his advanced age. Judge
Shaw was one of the ablest lawyers in the
United States, and most estimable man.
His personal appearance was far from pre-
possessing, which rendered him at times the
subject of personal but always good natured
ridicule. Mr.. Choate once said of him !:
"We venerate the Chief Justice, not for
any beauty of form or feature, but for the
supposed hidden intelligence Within" This
remark was probably the basis for the ludi-
crous story that at law club Choate once
gave as a sentiment "The Chief Justice

officers elected

Lieut.. Governor-Benj. Douglas.
Secretary of State-Jas. H. Trumbull.
Controller-L. W. Cutter.
Treasurer-Ezra Dean.
Hon. JAMES G. LOOMS was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, but the con-
sentative element was not thoroughly united
on State candidates. The great struggle
was on Representatives in Congress. In
the first district, DWIGHT LOOMS, Rep, is
reelected over A. P. HYDE, Dem, by
about 100 majority L1NcoLN's majority in
the district was l, 440. In the second dis
trict, the Democrats have elected JAMES E.
ENGLISH, by 800 majority, over JOHN
WOODRUFF, Rep, the late member LIN.
COINS majority in the district, 1,030. In
the third district, A. A. BURNHAM, Rep,
is elected over r. L. BAKER, DEM
majority not reported; L1NcoLN's majority
in November, 3,l09. In the fourth dis
trict, the Democrats have also gained a
member, electing GEORGE g. WOODRUFF
over O.. S. FERRY-a radical Republican,
by 80 majority. LINCOLN, in this district
was beaten by the combined conservative
vote, in November, 335.
1t will be seen from this that we gain
two Democratic members of Congress, and
lose another, by about 100 votes.
