A CAsr TO TEST THE President Proc.
t,wATIoN.-So much doubt and uncertainty
exists as to the permanent validity of the
Presidents Emancipation Proclamation
that decision by the Supreme Court is
highly desirable. A case has come up under
the proclamation at st. Louis, which may
possibly be carried to the Supr me Court
on the point most in question. A negro
woman from Alabama, an escaped slave, has
been sentenced to the pententiary by the
Cri ninll Court at St. Louis for vagrancy.-
b. State law she is liabl, to be whipped
and detained till her owner claims her, or
t. be sold after limited time to pay her
Jail fees. The Criminal Court took tht
freedom of the woman, under the proclama-
zion, for granted, and therefore sentenced
ner to the penitentary. Her council raise
the point before Judge Prm that she is
still legally slaye, and if the judge decide:
against him he will carry the case to tn,
Supreme Court on appeal.

A Useful Sort of Ballast.

Passing along Delaware avenue yesterday,
where vessel was unloading, We found
that her ballast was being conveyed into a
store. The ballast in quest On proved to be
an article mined in Russia, literal rock salt
The vessel was ballasted In Russia, made a
voyage to England, and thence to Phia
delphia, the ballast remaining unshifted.-
The salt sells here for $50 per ton. Itis
mined in blocks that TO the eye appear TO
be quartz 1t is sufficiently hard for build
ing purposes, but is, of course, soluble, and
woul l yield to this action of the elements
As we looked at it, Major Seybold, of
Delaware, came along and purchased a ton
of it for his cattle. Farmers buy it for this
purpose. A thirty pound block of it placed
in box, in field will supply a herd OF
cows for some weeks. 1t is as hard as stone.
Ordinary salt would dissolve in one fourth
the time. No other country yet known
yields this peculiar product. 1t is quarried
precisely as We quarry marble,-Philadel,

The Recent Arrests in New
York, Washington and Else
where.

The recent arrests in the New York Gus
tom House, in the departments at Washing
ton and elsewhere of certain financial agents
Of the government look very bad for the
management of Mr.. Chase, and will do him
considerable damage in public estimation.
If it is the duty of the head Of depart
ment to keep a strict surveillance over its
affairs in times of peace, how much more
imperative is that duty in time of war
These arrests only prove, however, what we
have before said, that in attending to the
business of the War Department Mr.. Chase
has been neglecting his own. We see now
the truth Of the remark and the dcplorable
result of the Secretary's course. The head
Of department is virtually responsible for
the shortcomings of his subordiuates, and it
is his business to see that frauds and NAL
feasance in office do not occur. Ii they do,
as in these late cases. the people Of course
hold the chief of the department to strict
accountability. Mr. Chase has one year
more of Office to run, and he ought to use
his time in making his department straight
Let him leave the War Department and the
generals alone, and give bis attention to the
fnsnces of the country, with which he is
entrusted. Then he will stand better in
the opinion Of the people as public officer

McClellan's removal from the command

the dangers which he only could ward off;
and after saving Washington, and winning

as citizens under even these depressing tx
hibitions of the mistaken influence wlch
