THE JAMAICA REyoLT-Considerab
difference of opinion exists In the Eng
lish press and amongst the public res
pecting the course which has been pursued
in Jamaica toward the blacks. On the one
hand. it is asserted that the Governor and
authorities had no alternative but to act
with the severity with which they did, for
any show Of clemency, any faltering, timid
policy in the hour Of danger, would have
involved the whole island in general con-
fagration. On the other hand it is main
tanned that the shedding of blood was need
lesSly seycre-that there was no premedita-
ted scheme of rising, and that the outbreak
might have been safely put down without
having recourse to measures OF cruelty
which are a disgrace to British soldiers and
to the civil representatives Of the British
Crown. The execution Of Mr. Gordon,
more especially, is condemned, and his for
chile removal from Jamaica, which was not
under martial law to the eastern part OF
the island, where martial law existed, in
order to have him tried and instantly exc
cuted, was m act of atrocious barbarity,
and in every sense and phase Illegal and
unconstitutional. The religious bodies
the hethodists, Baptists, and others-arc
strongly moved by sympathy with the
blacks, and the subject will certainly occupy
much consideration in Parliament when it
meets. Meetings in most fthe large towns
in England are about to be organized.

MISSISSIPPI on NEGROES. The Legisla-
ture has passed law defining the legal
status of the negro and securing to him his
rights in the courts. The first section, in
good and smooth terms. .enacts that the ne
gro shall have the rights aud privileges of
white men, may sue and be sued give testi
mony, buy and sell, and do a thousand 9TH
er things that other men do. So much for
the first section. The section which follows
ces with provided and by the exceptions
il makes re-enacts virtually the old slave
code. The law is an outrageous deception
aud fraud, and so far from securing to the
negro a single right denies to him every
right known to freedom 1t is now the law
of the State but we are informed that Gen
eral HOWARD has directed that it must be
disregarded, and has instructed his subordi-
mates to pay no attention to it.

The TEST OATH AND PARDoNs-Two
very important cases are pending in the Su-
preme Court of the United States One of
them involves the constitutionality of the
act OF Congress prescribing a test oath to
certain persons in the late rebel States, and
the other the important question whether
the pardon of the President RENTS decree
of forfeiture of rebel property, and rein
states in the pardoned man his rights to
said property. 1t is well that these ques-
tlons are taken to the Supreme Court for
final adjudication, for there is a great deal

cessity for making this uniform Before
the judges OF that venerated tribunal the
questions referred to will receive full. and

questered from the strife and passions excl
ted by partisan conflicts, and hence their de-
cisions on quasi political subjects not only
settle the law, but are received with pro-

From JAMAIcA-The late news from ia
maica, alleging that several thousand ne
groes accused of being implicated in the re-
cent riots have been hung, seems almost too
horrible for belief, and if it had not been
foreshadowed by previous intelligence would
scarcely gain credence anywhere. The au-
thorities of Great Britain country whose
writer's continually boast of her humanity
and denounce the slightest acts of severity
in other lands have for comparatively slight
provocation, ,perpetrated the most fearfulle
galized butchery that has disgraced the age.

of subduing a rebellion treat insurgents with

trast their example, at which the world shud-
ders, affords to their advice and 20 our policy
