An ImpOrannt LAW POlns.

A negro In escaping from slavery in
Missouri killed his master who pursued him.
He reached Canada, but was soon after de
manded under the extradition treaty As a
murderer The Canadian Court decided
that he was liable to surrender under the
treaty. His attorneys. through Edwin
James. a celebrated English Barris,er, ap-
Piled to the Court Of Queens Bench in Lon
don for habeas corpus to take the negro
out Of the hands of the Canada Court. The
Queens Bench granted the writ. and thus
removed the case to England. whence, judg
ing from the tone of the London papers. the
fugitive will never be returned The Times
holds that the English law. refusing to re,
cognize slavery, cannot hold any man gull
ty OF a crime in escaping from 1t The New
York World thus comments on this extraor-
binary proceeding;
The question of slavery in this country
has entered upon yet another new and most
important phase. The Court of Queens
Bench has issued q writ common enough in
itself, bat of singular moment in this partic-
ular instance aud at this particular time-a
writ Of habeas corpus for Anderson, the
slave who killed his pu'suer, and who is now
in Toron,o Jail and claimed by the United
States Government under the A-hburton
Extradition Treaty. The writ is issued on
the grounds that the jurisdiction of the
Queens Bench is limit, only by
the boundaries Of the British Empire. and
that it has vet to be made clear that the
homicide committed by Anderson was not
entirely justifable. and that therefore the
a 4 -, a. Va aS fDr
his extradition, must be subjected TO rcvis-
ion by the court of highest authority.
The issuing OF the writ of habeas corpus
into a remote colony is very unusual. and il
10 manifest that it was applied for and grant
ed in this case only on account of the great
interest which i, has excited in England
among the legal profession as in the more
intelligent part of the public. The Judges
retired to deliberate upon the motion ier
the writ. but were in consultation only
twenty minutes; and the Chief Justice, in
announcing the decision, used language
which showed that all the contingencies of!
the case had been taken into consideraiion.-D
The writ merely removes the proceed
ings, preliminary to the prison
sr's extradition or liberation. from Can ada
to England but the movement itself is a
most significant indication of Grea, Britain's
position in the present crisis OF the slavery |
question in this country; and the final de- !
cision will be an important declaration of the !
extent to which she is prepared to admit the
relations produced by local laws into the
Of the alleged criminality Of
affected by those relations. In
Missouri the killing by a slave OF his pursu-
er is an aggravated form of murder in the
British Empire i. is justihSble homicide.

DesatsusiSo - Kansas.

We met on the cars few days since two
families returning from Kansas: and their
looks told too plainly the suffering they had
endured. Their recital Of what they and
their less fortunate neighbors had endured
was painful to the heart Of every listener.
Kind friends in Ohio had furnished them
the means to return to their old homes, but
they said thousands were compiled to stay
there, and were actually starving; and that
some mus. die unless relief was sent TO
them. The personal appearance Of the
families We me,-their hsggard looks worn
out clothing and BUNDLED tone, spoke the
truth of their story.

Moody and HefIen.-These distinguished
beligerents have settled their difficulty. and
there was no fight. They met on the grounds
selected for the duel On Monday morning last
and by the Intervention Of f. lends the whole
matter was amicably settled. much TO the
discomfort of some 100 men who had gone
70 see the bloody contest. The following is
the terms of the settlement.
From an examination of the correspon-
d4nce between Hon Horace Hefffen and
Hon. Il. C. Moody, submitted TO US, and
from other sources Of information, we under
stand the grounds OF controversy TO be as
follows: In the course Of a debate. in the
Inliana House Of Representatives, Mr.
Moody was understood to reflect upon the
memory Of the alte Gov Willard, political
and warm personal friend Of Mr.. Heffren in
connection with the location of the County
Seat of Newton county; and that subsequen
rly, lie char sed Mr.. H-ffr-n, by implication,
with being traitor to his country land Ii at
Mr.. Heffren. in reply, used the language
which furnishes the ground Of the pending
affair.
A charge that Mr.. Moody was implicated
in certain fraudulent; land specula ions has
been withdrawn in the correspondence.
It is our opinion that Mr.. Moody SHOULD
first declare that he did not mean TO charge
the late Gov. Willard with corruption. and
if so und' rstood, he entirely di-claims it;
and tina, the charge of being traitor. which
Mr.. Hctfren conceived was applied to him.
by implication; was hastely spoken and not
seriousl y intended to convey the full force
OF that term, and that he has no hesitation
in Withdrawing it. And then Mr.. Heffren
should withdraw the offensive language
complained of. Taos L. JONES,

above proposition agreed to by US.
