ssNothing Gone Wrong"

Our Abolition contemporary remarks,
with an innocence quite enchanting, that
nothing has certainly been done to induce
any man to regret having voted for ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN" On account of L1NCoLN's
election, seven States, with population
of over 100000. have seeded from the
Union, and established an Independent gov
eminent, which will be recognized by the
leading European powers within year. In
every ordinance of secession which has been
framed at the South, the reason assigned for
secession, has been the triumph of the Sec
tional Republican party. The Press idea
that nothing has gone wrong" is borrowed
from L1NCoLN's speeches, on his way to the
Capital, and involuntarily reminds one of
the adventurous mariner who remarked to
Captain Noah, on being refused admission
into the ark, that "be might go to thunder
with his darned old tub, it wasn't going to
be such - of a storm, after ALL"
"Nothipg gone wrong" Oh no!

A CAPITAL REBUKE.-When Capt. Ing
RAHAx returned, few days since, from the
command of the Richmond steam sloop in
the Mediterranean, certain Senator from
Louisiana, though born and raised in New
York city, and late member of the Naval
Committee of the Senate, said to him sub.
stantially as follows:
"Sir, why did you not retain your com,
mand, and bring your ship into New Or
leans, or some other Southern port when
the States seeded ?" To which Captain
Ingraham replied" Sir, you are mistaken
in your man, and in Southern naval officers
if you suppose they or l could forget our
oaths Of Office, and become traitors, or be
guilty of contemplate theft !! When
South Carolina calls for her sons to leave
the general government, and return to the
bosom of the parent state, she expects them
to do 80 with honor untarnished and repu-
tations without the slightest spot on their
escutcheons thieves and traitors she will
never acknowledge"

Magic Power Of Peace.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York World telegraphs to that paper:
ID, Southern men state that the action Of the
administration. tending to the development of
q peace policy, has completely astonished the
secessionists by depriving them of great part
of the capital, on the strength of which they
carry on their movements.
! This is the general tenor of the advices
from Washington. The development of a
peace policy has, as we have believed it
would have, m1c effect upon secession.
How much to be lamented is it, that Mr..
LINCOLN could not be induced TO develop a
policy of peace, Cancellation and compro-
mise Immediately after his election in No.
vember. The development would have had
a still more magic effect than it has now.
Let us hope there will be no interruption
Of this peace policy. 1t has only to be
steadily pursued to work wonders. 47bau 4.

The Great Gaines Case

This important case, involving the title
to large amount of valuable property in
Louisiana, was decided by the Supreme
Court, on the 14th, in favor of Mrs. GAINES.
This decision is final and conclusive. Mrs.
GAINES pretensions. as heir-at-law of DAN
TEL CLARK, after long years of litigation,
were disposed of adversely to her in 1852,
by the decision reported in IL Howard.
Since then she has caused the last will of
CLARK to be probated in the Supreme
Court of Louisiana. By this will he &C.
knowledged her to be his "legitimate and
only daughter" constituted her his " uni-
versal legatee," and devised to her bis
whole estate. This will was made the ba-
sis of suit in the United States Circuit
Court at New Orleans, in which she claims
ed the real property belonging to CLARK's
succession. Associate Justice WAYNE,in an
nouncing the decision in the case, said it
was Of long standing and heretofore OF
doubtful result. The record covered three
thousand pages, and at least eight or ten
points had been ruled by the Court with
regard to it. At last it had been brought
to conclusion. The decision was, that
she was the only legitimate child of DANIEL
CLARK and his universal legatee under bis
last will, and, as such, entitled to all the
property, real and personal, of which Mr..
CLARK died possessed |; and the defendant,
HENN1Na, having purchased certain pro-
perty, with full notice of the nullity of the
title under which be held, she is entitled to
recover immediate possession of it, with its
rents and profits. The Court said measures
would be at once taken to enforce the de-
cree and Justice WAYNE said, in conclu'
sion, the future writer of the history of ju-
risprudence would be obliged to register
this celebrated case as one of the most re-
markable.

American Troubles In Europe.

In the English House Of Commons, on
the 10Th ult., an important debate took
place on the slave trade, in which the dis
position Of the English government to re-
cognize the Southern Confederacy, as soon
az possible. was incidentally developed.
Even Mr.. BUXTON, well known Abolition
list, had no objection to offer to its recogni-
ton, provided the Southern Oonfederacy
bound itself not to reopen the slave trade.
As this has been already done-not merely
BY clause in the Constitution, but by the
veto by President DAVIS of an act intro
duced into the Montgomery Congress ren>
dering the slave traffic misdemeanor in.
stead Of piracy-no further opposition is to
be anticipated in that quarter. The con-
viction expressed by Republican journals,
that the European governments, but partic.
ularly that of England, would hesitate long
before they acknowledged Power with
slavery as its basis, is therefore about to be
falsi6ed. The English are too sensible and
practical a people to sacrifice their material
interests to a philanthropical abstraction.
1t is only in this country that fanaticism is
pushed to such suicidal extremes.
Our government is in the receipt of vo-
luminous dispatches from our diplomatic
agents abroad. Affairs on this side of the
Atlantic were much discussed, and the pub
lie mind throughout Europe was conferred
and absorbed respecting the events which
were transporting in the Southern States.
The leading statesmen of Europe view with
the deepest interest the movements going
forward in this country to avert the ruin
which impends. "The crumbling to pieces
of the mightiest republican government
which history has ever recorded" writes
one of our Ministers, lis looked upon and
regarded as complete failure by the liber-
al minded people of Europe"

The kentucky and Ohio Mandarin
Case.

Chief Justice TANEY, on the l4th instant,
delivered an opinion in the matter of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky against the
Governor of Ohio, deciding it was case of
original jurisdiction, and in effect one State
against another, and, therefore, the court
has Jurisdiction under the Constitution. 1t
is a case to compel the Governor of Ohio,
BY mandamus. to surrender fugitive from
Justice from Kentucky. The mandamus is
refused; but the Court says that the de-
mandipg State has right to haveevery such
fugitive delivered up; that the State of Ohio
has no right to enter into the question as to
whether the act of which the fugitive stands
accused is criminal or not in Ohio, provided
that it was crime in Kentucky; and it is
the duty of the Governor of Ohio to deliver
up, upon any proper proofs that the act
charged is crime by the laws Of Ken
lucky; that the act Of Congress of 1893
determines what evidence is to be submit
ted to the State of Ohio; that the duty Of
the Governor is ministerial merely, like that
of Sheriff or Marshal, and appeals to bis
good faith, in the discharge of constitution.
al duty, for the reason that Congress cannot
impose any federal duty on the officers Of q
State: and that where such officers are called
upon by an act of Congress to perform such
duty, he conceives to be but good sense and
GOOD faith on their part to do 60. And or

The BEAUTIES OF THE TARIFF.-The New
York Evening Post, Republican, but strong
" opposed to the protective tariff recently
enacted by Congress, is engaged in pointing
ont few Of the beauties of that law. The
tariff imposed prohibitory duty on wooden
crews, in order that single screw mill,
down in New England, might make all the
wooden screws used in the United States.
This taxes every carpenter, cabinet-maker,
and joiner in the land, in order that single
manufacturer may grow enormously rich.

The Republican party is now. the only marty
organized upon principle in the county,
Press.
The Republican party was organized
upon the principle of prohibiting those
"twin relics of barbarism, slavery and poly
gamy," in the Territories of the United
States. In the last Congress, three new
Territories were organized, but not word
was said as to the prohibition of the "twin
relics" Will you please tell us then upon
what principle the party is organized? Is
it upon the enforcement of the laws, in the
seeding States; the re-capture of the forts;
the punishment Of traitors, and the collec-
ton of the revenues?
