tFrom the y. 7. Tribune, June y.
To those Hho believe that slavery Is dead,
Its total exttrpatlon, We commend u consid-
Grafton Of the following Incident which re.
Gently took place In Delaware:
The Rcy. Thomas r. Einnard, Of the Brit
ish Methodist Episcopal Church Of Cxtada,
aud . delegate from Eanat.a TO the General
pal Church, which this year held its quad
rennial session In Philadelphia, visited his
birth pl4ce in Delaware recently. While ut
Camden he Was arrested early in the uaorn-
Ing under one of the laws which still disgrace
the statute books Of Delaware, prohibiting
fined $50 and costs. Not having the money
to pay, he WAS sold, and purchased BY
brother of the man who had eInancfpatcd
him come yeats ago. This man took az.
kfnn.rd's due bill for the amount he paid,
and gaye $50 security that MI. Kinnard would
lenyc the State in Ave days.
A[r. kinnard Immediately went to WASH
tngton TO seek redress, bringing with him
transcript from the record Of legal proceed
ines, duly certified, AMI copies Of due bills,
&Sc.; also letters to the representative Of
I Delaware In the House.

/ Vow that the enlistment Of colored soldiers
In Kentucky In large numbers Is fixed TACT,

! Copperhead editors who are always nshing
for contracts with the army, and pocketlng
the money Of the administration which they
so unsparirgly abuse. An ex-S1emher ol
Congress from Kentucky informed us last
