Judge BIoLahe on the Fugitive Law. The decision of Judge MoLanh in the caso of the Blavo McQuerry, in Cincinnati, recently rendered, '\ r appears in our columns this morning. In it we - have an additional guarantee that the laws are to ' be faithfully administered; and an additional evi- aence of the soundness and constitutionality of the Fugitive Law 1n particular. This decision also de rives peculiar importance,’says the New York Com mercial, from tho tact that it Is the first decision un der the fagitlve slave law of 1850, that has been ren dered by a Judge of the 8uprerae Court of the United Btates. We hope that the question is now Bottled, and that the time of our courts of justice will no Ion- ’ ger be wasted in hearing discussions of the constitu tionality of this law. Judge McLanb shows that In .tho case of Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court of the United State deoided unani- - mouslythat Congress had tho power to legislate for tho rendition of fugitives from labor, and he shows that the Supreme Court of every 8tate in the Union, before which the question has been raised, has recog nized the same power. We commend the decision to the perusal of the reader as able, enlightened and just—as fully appre ciating the compromises that exist, and the true spirit ■ of the government under which we live. • Judge op the Eastern District.—In speaking of the appointment of the Hon. Joseph W. Jackson to the judgeship of the Eastern District, by Gov. Cobb, the Madison Visitor, ol a recent date, says: "We know hot if Judge J. desires to serve for a full term, - but from our own knowledge of the man, and his es tablished reputation for probity and talents, the East- to" ireatow* tTiei r s nflrages^r tion, better capacitated to wear the ermine with hon or to himself and benefit to the State.” Tri-Weekly Steamers North, We shall soon have six steamships running between Savannah and the North—two between Savannah and Philadelphia, and four between Savannah and New York. We yesterday Baw a memorial, signed by a large number of the merebauis and business men of onr city, asking of the agents of the two lines so to arrange the time of tho sidling of their vessels as to give us a tri-weekly Btearaship connection northward. This, wo hope, the respective agents will find it to tho interest of their companies to do. The conve nience of such an arrangement to the business men of our city, and to tho travelling pnblio, generally, is Buch as we doubt not will insure its adoption. f New Oblrans Relief Fund.—Up to yesterday af ternoon, the total amount raised in this city for tho relief of New Orleans was 13,435 98. The funds re maining in hand will be remitted this day, and in the meantime we would remind such as have not added their offering that to-day is the time. To urge this matter upon any one would be doing violence to hu- man nature—and beside, Bhoqld we attempt to do so, It would.be impossible for the pen to put forth such strong appeals to the charitable as are constantly coming to them in the moans of the sick and the wails of the dying. Money may be handed to a mem- bsr of any of the collecting committees or to the Mayor. __ Tho Next Congress.

Much has been said in commendation of the insur gent leaders for having declined to bo CAlled "su preme,” Ao. The fallowing is the decree and the reader can lodge whether it is deserving of all that has been said in its praise: On tho 25th day of the 10th month, of tho Sink’hce year. (Nov. 30th, 1851). while at Yung-gung, the ce lestial king issued a proclamation, emoining on all the officers and soldies throughout the host, both ? treat and small, to know well the true doctrine aud ollow it, namely this: our Heavenly Father, the Great God and Supreme Lord, is one true Spirit (Ood); besides our Heavenly Father tho Great God, and Su preme Lord there is no spirit (god.) The Great Gpd, our Hoavenly Father aud Supreme Lord is omniscient, omnipotent and omnlpreseut, the Supreme over all. There is not an individual who is not produced and nourished. He is Slicing Supreme. He is the TV, Ruler. Besides the great Gqd our Heav enly Father and Supreme Lord, there is no one who can be called Sluing, and no one can be called TV. Therefore from henceforth, all you soldiers aud offi cers may designate Us os your Lord, and that is all; you must not call me Supreme, lest you should en croach upon the designation of onr Heavenly Father. Onr heavenly Father is our holy Father, end our celestial elder Brother is our holy Lord the Saviour of the world. Henco our heavenly Father and celestial elder Brother alone are holy: and from henceforth, all you soldiersand officers may designate us as your lord and that is all, but you must nut cqll me holy, lest you encroach upon the designation of our heavenly Father and celestial elder Brother. The great God our heavenly Father and Supreme Lord, is our spiritu al Father, our ghostly Father. ..Formerly We had ordered you to designate the first and second ministers of state together with the gon- erals-in-chiefor the van and rear of tho army, royal fathers, which was a temporary indulgence, in con- fortuity with the corrut t oustoms of the present slight encroachment’on the prerogative of our hea venly Father, for our heavenly Father Is alone enti tled to tho designation of Father. We have now appointed the chief minister of state and general-in-chief to be designated the Eastern king,having charge of all tho states in the Eastern region ; we havo also appointed the second minister of state and assistant general-in-chief to be designat ed the Western king, having charge of alt the states In the Western region; we have further appointed the general of the advance guard to bo designated the Southern king, having charge of all the states in the Southern region; and we have likewise appoint ed tho general of the rear guard to be designated the Northern king, having charge of all the states in the Northern region; we nave furthermore appointed our brother Shlh-tah-k’hae to be assistant king, to aid in sustaining our celestial court. All tho kings above referred to, are to be under tho superintendence of tiie Eastern king. We have also issued a proclama tion designating our queen as the lady of all ladies, (empress) and our concubines as royal ladles. Re spect this. On the 10th day of the 8th month of the Jintzse year, (November 15th, 1852,) at Chang-sha, the Ce lestial King issued a proclamation to all the officers and soldiers throughout the host, both great and small, enjoining on them from henceforth not again to secrete for private uso gold or silver, but pay it all into the holy treasury of our celestial court; should any offend in this respect, as soon as it is found out, they will be beheaded as a warning to all, Respect this. The Celestial King appends the following procla mation : We hereby command yon, ministers and people, to make a distinction between males and femules: men are to manage outside affairs and not to listen to what goes on within; women are to manage domestic con cerns, and not to trouble themselves about external matters. We, therefore, especially command, that henceforth outside affairs are not to be reported in side, and internal affairs are not to be reported out side. As to tho inmates of the harem, they aro to be gen erally termed ladles, and ministers must be especial ly careful not to speak of tho names and surnames, rank, and station of the inmates of the harem ; these must on no account bo talked about or discussed : should any offend in this particular they shall be be- *■•*■■* J ~fthr headed without mercy. No subject is ever to look upon the face of any of the inmates of the harem: let every one hang down bis bead, and cost down his eyes, not daring to lift them up from the ground, for whomsoever glances at the faces of the inmates of the harem shall bo behead ed without mercy. What ia said in the harem must never be reported outside. Should any subjects or female oflicera dare to report outside, what is said in the harem, thoy shall be beheaded without morcy. What ia said by any subject must not be reported inside; if tho speech of any subject is reported inside, then the person re porting it shall be beheaded without raeroy, and the Bublect who uttered thoBpeech shall also be beheaded without mercy. We sincerely announce this to you. To keep the harem distinct is the foundation or good government, and honest raoTals: it is not that toe are desirous of making severe restrictions, but we wish to carry out the holy will of our heavenly Father, and celestial elder brother, in beheading the lewd and sparing the correct. Should there be the least de parture from this rule it would not do at all. Now that We havo issued this decree, not only must our subjects in tho present day obey, but throughout oar celestial dynasty and celestial empire, for myriads and myriads of years, generation after generation, whoever becomes a subject of this state must comply with this role. Theso are our words.— Respect this. Given on the 28th day of tho 1st month, of the 3d year ot our reign, [March 3d. 1853.] Surely we have given evidence enough that there is no genuine Christianity in this movement. Yet we have before ns a slip from a yet unpublished,religious newspaper which says : "As the leaders of the revolution not only teach but alro observe the above 1 precepts,’ and ns unvary ing success has thus far attended them, may we not hope that • the good timo ’ for China is not far dis tant 7 Let all wbo would speedily see this vast em pire brought beneath the away ofklngTmmannel.Ilft up their hearts and voices in earnest'ptayer to God ; and the prayer of faith will be beard, ana the present contest will result in the downfall idolatry, and the es- fie I, In the first cofpite.onnn affida- may bo .called, was Ills* The object was to in- imprlsomelit.

James Kelly, a brother of the last witness, corrobo rates tho testimony previously givon.

Now, so far as theafaiiw of this individual is con cerned, it would be difficult to present a case which would more clearly establish the claim of Henry Mil ler—this is so particular aud circumstantial—so en tirely uticontradicted—it is impossible to resist the re sult of the examination ; the clearest and most deci ded conviction that this person waa in the condition or a servant in Kentucky. I have never, in any case that I have investigated—cases where damages are claimed, which presents similar points—known claim more clearly made out. It has been urged that it has not been proven that Kentucky was a slaveholding State. Judges of the Supreme Court of the United 8tate« recognize the laws of all tiie States,as do tho State Courts the laws of each county. The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the united Btates extends throughout the Union and Into the Territories. Its Judges aro pre sumed to know the lawB of each State, and the ex tent of State Jurisdiction. I do not say that such would bo the rale were this examination before a State Judge ora Commissioner of the United States. In many of the States a special law has been pass ed recognizing tho statute laws of other States. In snob coses nothing more than an examination of the atutute laws would be necessary. But where a trial necessary. like this is hai? in a State where no such provision exists, the State Judge, and perhaps the Comtnis- siener, might require legal proof of the existence of slavery in the State where the claimant resided. But this ia not necessary before a Judgo of the court whose jurisdiction is commensurate with the whole country. Kentucky is known to be a Slave State. The declaration of a Senator from Virginia is al luded to in support of the argument that Slavery does not exist by law in the alaveholding States. I am rcall v sorry to hear this argument. The distinguish ed Senator was speaking of territories into which our friends of the south desired to tako their slave property, and declared that slaveholders had the right to tako slaves where there was no legal recog nition of the relation. This was an error. The great S rinoiple is this—Slavery is local, and can only exist y tho authority ot law. I may remark that I was the means of bringing out this decision, which was made in the case from Mississippi. It has been claimed that the slaveholder bad tbo right to take Ids sluve Into the tetritories where it was not legalized, and where long usage had not sanctioned tiie institution. Usage constitutes law. after a sufficient lapse of time. Bnt the Supremo Court has decided the claim to be without founda tion. Slavery exists only by local law. In the slavebolding States the laws provide for the legislation with re; never been doubtei lutvn refused to ' but tbo refusal to fugitives from Justloe has The Governors of some Btates give tip “ fugitives fromjustlco”— was upon tho ground of insufficient " cause,” nover on that of *' nnoonstltutlonality.’’-- No court has ever doubted tiie constitutionality of legislation providing-far the return of fugitives from justice. It is stated of that provision in the Constitution which says that full faith and credit shall be givon to the publlo acts and records of other Btates, that no power la conferred on tho federal government to en force it? Is this so ? Tho fundamental law declares that citi zens of caoh State shall bo entitled to all tho rights and immunities of tho citizens of tho several States. Undoubtedly Congress may logisiate upon theso pro visions. There are various other provisions of this descrip tion. No tonnage duties shall be laid on articles im ported from one 8tato into another. The States can conclude no treaties, coin no money, can not make anything but gold and silvern " legal tender,’’ oau pass no ex post facto laws, or laws imuairiug tho ob ligations of contracts. w These nro nil prohibitions of power to tho States. Does it follow that because there is no express pro vision in tho organic law for the exercise of powor on these subjects, none exists? Iu nil these cases a remedy is provided. In cose of infraction by the States, a writ of error may be taken from the State Court to tho Supremo Court of tiie United States, where laws conflicting with tho constitution will Iks declared void. It Would be singular, if there was no sanction to tbo provision upon this most difficult of all questions—a question so ably nnd extensively dis cussed at the timo tho constitution was framed, for slavery thon existed in about one-half tho States.— Before the adoption of that instrument slavery had been reclaimed iu various ways, in many instances by comity, in others by unobstructed force. There exis ted a virtual, practical compromise before the written compromise of tho constitution. But difficulties had arisen, and therefore this provision.

How the reported fa vor toward foreigners, so thoroughly anti-Chinese, may be proved by the result, should the insurgents be successful, we think Is also very qoubtful. Wectebn Phraseology.—It appears that some speculator has conceived the bold idea of building a city |n Wisconsin, endowing It all himself; an under taking which will oertalnly pay when it Is successful. Tho gentleman’s advertisement closed up with a par agraph like the following: "The town of and surrounding country is the most beantifnl the God of Nature ever made. The scenery Is celestlal-rdl vino; also, two wagons toseU,anda yoke ofateers.” About as rapid a desoent from the poetical to the practical .. by young eastern ^ |- married and ding and LltUe bita of gold coin, of the value of twenty-five condition of master and slavey they t limit the power To deny the'legalization of the* relation* in these States, is to shut our eyes to what is written, and to tho decisions of the courts. I am gratified that, in the examination and argu ment of the cose, there has been uniformly a gentle manly bearing—no abusive epithets were used, none were expected. This must draw the approbation of all sensible persons. There has been no evidence on the part of tho de fendant except the admissions by the plaintiff's attor ney, which were, that McQuerry had lived four years in the State of Ohio, during which time be had been recognized, treated, and considered as a free man, This was proper. This is the theory of our laws aud constitution. Every man in Ohio, without regard to color, is presumed to be a free man—her laws do not sanction tho tread of a slave. This treatment of McQuerry. therefore, in Ohio, is nothing more than the presumption of Hie law, which, in my judg ment, is counteracted by the conclusive proof of tho claimant, that he escaped into this State from " ser vice and labor due" in Kentucky. It is insisted that tho Fugitive Slave laws of ’93 and ’50 are not constitutional—that Congress has uo power to enact such a law—that the power of enforc ing the constitutional provision is with the States. This argument has been, frequently advanced by gentlemen who have discussed this great question, and 1 am not sure but that it has been advanced in some " platforms” that have been framed. 1 will refer to the judicial authority thut has recognized the power of Congress to enact laws -providing for the return of fugitives from labor. In the case of Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, the Judges of the Supreme Court decided, without dissent, that Congress had the power to legislutaon this subject. Some of tbo Judges thought that the State bad a right to legislate on the saino subject; blit there was uo dissout from the decision that Congreiis had the power to adopt the law of '1)3—the law of '50 was not theu enacted. Tho 8upremc Court of every State In the Union, before which the question has been raised, has recog nized the same power iu Congress. At an early pe riod in the history of Massachusetts, and possibly in other Btates—though it has not attracted my atten tion—tills doctrine may have been doubted ; but it has since been affirmed, and no court of respectable standing now doubts it. This is strong authority in regard to the power of Congress to legislate upon tho subject—authority, certainly, that should overbear individual opinion, uuless the number of individuals eutertaining an op- f iosite opinion is great enough to change the organic aw of tue land ; to such a chhnge the efforts of those who deny the power of Cougi ess to legislate on the subject of slavery within the States, might, and not improperly, be directed. Tho federal constitution was framed in 1787; it was discussed by the several States, who accepted it. Various essays were written by distinguished citi zens, and the instrument was very extensively dis cussed. Ab Boon after the adoption of the constitution as 1788, wo fiud an act of Congress providing for the rendition of " persous owing service or labor in one State, escaping Into another.” This-act was passed by a Congress, some of whose members, if I rightly remember, were delegates in the convention that framed tho federal constitution: all wore contempo raneous with the convention and the discussions that preceded aud attended its deliberations. Those who enacted the law of 1793 were not ignorant of any or tho provisions of the constitution, tor they Imd been scanned with grest ability, and especially in Virginia. There is a weight of authority on this point which cannot be centered on any otaer in the constitution. Independent of this authority, which must silence ail objection, we shall arrive at the same conclusion by looking ut tbo act ob arising under the constitution. Is tho construction of that instrument, in some of its vital points, never to be settled? If no respect is paid to tho weight of concurrent authorities for half a century, the oasis of our social fabric will be shaken—there will ensue disorder aud confosioh, nor will there be protection to rights. The clause of the constitution alluded to is: No person held to service or labor in one State un der the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in conBequenco of any law or regulation therein, be dis charged from such service or labor; but shall be de livered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due. This constitution has been considered the funda mental law of tbe land; it is tbe foundation of all the glory of tho country; all our civil virtues have flourished under it; it secured the fruits of our rev olution. It is contended that this provision in the constitu tion is to depend on the States for its execution. I will ask the gentleman* who read the able aud inge nious argument in support of this proposition, if that is law which provides no penalty ior its infraction ?— He is too good a theologian to admit tbe conseqnencos or hla argument. There can bo no law without a sanction. This ap plies to human as it does to divine law. The legislatures of the several States are prohibit ed from passing a law obstructing tbe master In pur suit of his escaped servant who must be given up on proof by the claimnnt that service or labor is dne.— Suppose a State to pass a law directly opposed to this clause, and Inflicting a penalty. That was the case In Prigg vs. the State of Pennsylvania, and tbe Supreme Court of the United States declared it nuga tory; it was in opposition to the constitution and therefore void. _jcauso it expressed a thing repugnant to his senti ments ; ho did not wish the idea that one man could hold projierty in another recognized in tho organic law of his country. This has been termed an tx parte proceeding. It certainly is not. Had the counsel for McQuerry been able to state that they expected to prove his free dom, I should promptly havo granted a continuance, to afford ample time for the collection of such proof. Occupying tho sacred office of Judge, I have no right hero to indulge my sympathies. It would have been gratifying to nave found that this defendant was a free man, instead of a slave, because such a result is gratifying to those wiiose feelings aro opposed to slavery in tbe abstract. In such case it is the stern duty of the Judge to nse more tlmn ordinary caution. It was urged against tbe constitutionality of the laws of 1793 and 1850 that they denied the right of trial by jury. It is my opinion, based upon my ju dicial experience, that a irial by jury would not de crease the number of renditions of " persons escaped from service or labor.” In an Instance tbut I call to mind, a decided anti-slavery man was upon a Jury in a case involving tho liberty of escaped slaves. But he considered the solemnity of his oath to support the law and the constitution, nnd he agreed witn his brethren to give a verdict of damages against the persons through whoso instrumentality the slaves had escaped. This is not a final decision as to the liberty of the defendant. The question here is strictly whether ho owes service or labor to the claimant, but this de cision will be no bar to the question as to the liberty of tho man. Ho may be sold—his condition may bo wretched ; bnt tho fault is not with the judiciary. It is a principle universally admitted, that a law may be iu part constitutional, and in another part void, and that effect may be given to those parts which aro constitutional. I do not, by this, wish to intimate that any part of the laws of '93 and ’50 are iu conflict witii the organic law. It may not bo improper for me hero to suggest that there is one part of tho law of ’50 that does not seem to be rightly understood. The clause allowing $10 to tiie commissioner in ense the certificate is made ont to tho master, and $5 if no certificate is given, was, ns I think, intended merely to compensate that offi cer for the extra writing, which may be considerable, and even not covered by the srtm of $5, inconse quence of the statement of tiie case nnd the certifi cate. Sitting us a Judge of the Supreme Court, and not us a commissioner, I may properly make this re mark. V The laws of 1903 and of 1850', as regards this case, ore clearly withlu the provisions of the constitution, mdslfir! tl ’ erelor0, bound to remand.the fugitive to his After this decision, Mr. Jollffa moved for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The Court said that there could be no appeal from tho decision of a Judgo of the Supremo Court of tho United States made at Chambers. The poiut hud, lie was quite certain, been decided by the Supreme Court. Ho was willing, however, to give any reason able timo for counsel to investigate the question. At the suggestion of tho court, it was finally ar ranged that tho claimant, Mr. Miller, should enter into a bond for two thousand dollars, conditioned upon ids returning McQuerry to this State in case it should bo decided that the case could bo taken to tbo Supremo Court. At the conclusion of his argument, Mr. Ware stated that Mr. Miller would emancipate his slave for the sum of $1200, and donate $o0 himself to a fund for thatpnrpo.se; or lie would tako the appraisement of disinterested parties ut Lexington. Mr. Miller remarked that ho was willing to give bonds in tho sum of lifty.thousaiid dollars that he would produce the slave in this State, in case a writ of certiorari was allowed by tho Supremo Court. Washington McQuerry was then delivered up to bis claimant by the U. S. Deputy Marshal, and, without hindrance or molestation .immediately conveyed across the Ohio river and lodged in the Covington juil, where lie will remain until his owner is ready to proceed to his home.

I Important Commercial Decision. At tho last term of the Supreme Court of this State, a case of novelty aud great commercial inter est was decided. A negotiable note was purchased in Mobile by Mr. Westfeldt. tiie makers of which lived ill Sumter and Mobile counties. Jt appears that prior to the purchase, certain persons who lived hi Sumter, and who claimed to be creditors of an insol vent bank in Mississippi, filed their bill iu tiie Chan cery Court of Sumter, to which tiie makers of the note and certain other persons who, it was charged, held tiie note in trust for the said Mississippi lmuk, were made parties, and upon which an injunction re straining the negotiation and payment of the note, was granted nguinst tho defendant. The evidence in tho case showed that Mr. Westfeldt nurebnsedthe note hefnm maturity.and fora valuable consideration, withr ‘ - lout any notice, in fact, of the pen dency of said bill, or that there was any claim out standing against said note. Hut tho proceedings in Chancery showed that tiie bill was filed nnd an in junction granted nnd served in Sumter before the purchase was made in Mobile. Tiie caso was tried before tiie Circuit Court at Mo bile. Tho counsel for Westfeldt contended that, while it may be admitted, as a general rule, tlmt the pen dency of a suit withdraws the subject matter, and prevents its snle or transfer, except subject to the operation of the decree to be rendered in tho cause, yet tlmt the safety of commercial transactions re quires that negotiable paper should be excluded from its operation. On tho other side it was contended that the rule ia of universal application. There was a judgment for the plaintiff below, and at tho late term tiie Supreme Court affirmed this judgment. Thus an important principle has l>cen decided in favor or commercial dealings, nnd it is somewhat re markable, ns we learn from the learned and lucid brief of Col. Phillips, which has been printed iu this city, that no express adjudication has heretofore been made on the subject, either in this country or Eue- land. The case was argued for tho plaintiff by P.

Wc had tho pleasure or spending some days recent ly in tiie country, when we took occasion to look over a number of farms in tiie upper part of our District, and amongst others tlmt of Major Samuel C.

This cotton is of an entirely new kind, differing from any we have ever seen, and certainly superior in appearance to any tiling of tho kind that has been heretofore cultivated in this country. Tiie weed ranges about two and a half to three feet in height, with remarkable long brandies and short joints, and wo think more than three times the usual quantity or forms and bolls, and the latter, as far «b matured, one-third over the common size. We count ed otic stalk with two hundred and thirty-two farms and bolls, nnd from its healthy appearance looks as though it might have ns many more before the end of tiie season. Maj. Scott tells us the seed was obtained in Mississippi, at tho rate of ten dollars the bushel, from all parts of our District, that seasons are favora ble and the di-ops of Corn and Cotton looking remark ably well.
