Ramey Holland before the Mayor.
The following is well gotten up by our
friend Barrow of the Visitor :
Barney Holland is an honest openliearted
Hibernian, who differs trom the majority
of the representatives of the Emerald Isle
only in one peculiarity— he sometimes
communicates rather freely with the spirits
of corn. ‘J bis infirmity sometimes intro
duces him into society where black ‘eyes
are dealt, and matter for police courts is
manufactured. Ho always takes the weak
side, and joins the oppressed against the
oppressor, without estimating the chances
of coming out second best.
Having recently been present at a row
which was brought to the notice of our
Municipal Board, Barney was introduced
as witness. After having the oatli ad
ministered to -him by Mayor Reese, he
began to make his statement, and being
slightly exhilerated by a communication
received just before, he soon got fully into
the merits of the case, and seemed to re
experience all of the incidents of the af
fray. He took sides, as the impulses of
his generous nature dictated, and began to
swear prodigiously. Whereupon, Mayor
Reese stopped him telling him that swear
ing could not be tolerated before the Court
and that lie must go to the calaboose until
sober enough to testify - .
•‘Cant allow swearing in Court ?’ says
Barney, ‘why, may it plase your honor I
thought that was what Courts were made
for, to sweflr in, and, by Jasus, I can prove
it to ye. for you made me swear when I
came in before I opened me, month.’
Wit, however, availed nothing. Barney
had to obey the mandate, much to the
regret of those who were enjoying the
wordy altercation between Barney and the
Mayor, on so important a technicality.
Slave Trade Casein Mobile.
In the District Court of the United
Statos, Wednesday, Jude Jones delivered
auelaborate and carefully prepared opinion
sustaining tlie demurrers to the indictments
against Gould and others, for violating the
acts ofCongress prohibittig the importation
of negroes —in other‘Words, for being cn
gaged in the. African slave trade.
We give a very brief synopsis of the ar
gument of His Honor, which was as fol
lows :
One of the principal objects of the for
mation of the general government was the
regulation of foreign commerce. Before
the adoption of the Constitution, each State
possessed sovereign power as to its own
foreign commerce. Some of the States
legalized the African slave trade, others pro
hibited it. The 6th section of the first ar
ticle of the Constitution declaring that the
foreign slave” trade “shall not be prohibit
ed by Congress prior to the year 1808”
is a grant of the power to prohibit after
that date. Consequently the acts passed
in pursuance of that authority are consti
tutional. And in the opinion of the judge,
the prohibiting acts are founded in sound
public policy and ought to be enforced.—
Those acts apply - to all persons, directly or
indirectly concerned iu the importation of
African slaves, either in manning or navi
gating slave vessels, or furnishing funds,
provisions or equipments for such vessels.
But when tliß negroes have passed into
other hands after importation, then they
come under State jurisdiction, and are sub
ject to the same rights and disabilities as
other free negroes in the respective States
in which they hiay be found. He who
holds one of them, claiminghim as a slave,
can be proceeded against, under State law,
in the same wanner as if he claimed any
other free negro as his slave. This argu
ment ives sustained by the citation of many
authorities involving analogous principles
—as in the case ot merchandise, w'ben the
importation has been completed, and the
goods have passed into other hands and
become subject to taxation—also of persons
who have emigrated into the country under
tiie passenger laws, and have passed iuto
the masses of our population.
As it was not pretended by the District
Attorney, that the Africans who were the
“subjects of these indications, w - ere held by
the importers, but, on the contrary, as-that
officer admitted that the defendants were
in no way concerned in their importation,
his Honor held they were guilty of no of
fence under the prohibitory acts of Con
gress, and. therefore, the demurrer to the
indictments must be sustained.— Advertiser.
The Register says: We deem it neces
sary to direct attention to the many new
and interesting points of law in which it
abounds, and content ourselves with a brief
mention of the point upon which chiefly
tLe counsel for the defence gained their
case. This point is not only quite new
but of the highest importance to the future.!
Slaves being by the Constitution placed I
on precisely the same footing as all other
property, the federal jurisdiction extends I
over them in precisely the same manner |
and to the same extent, hut uo more than j
over all other property. Thus, so long as
unbroken merchandise arrives iu unbroken j
hulk, the federal jurisdiction extends over |
, it; hut so soon as the cargo is broken and j
the merchandize dispersed among the sev-!
eral purchasers, it can only be reached by
firocess of State Courts, lienee whatever
•wsCongiesa may enact against the orig
ins 1 importer of African slaves, they can
not ba made to apply to the purchaser
who acquired the property within the lim
it* nnd tv the taws of no Indivldyrl Strife.’
Eclipse of (he Plaucts Venus, Mars and
Jupiler by (he Moon.
An occultation of a planet at any partic
ular place, under favorable circumstauccs
for observation, is an event of such rare
occurence, that it cannot be expected of
tener than once in four or five years. In
deed, at tbe obsorvatory at Cambridge
only one, (tbat of Jupiter, in August, 1556)
has been seen since tbe beginning of 1852
The happening thereof, of four of these
phenomena in a large part of this country
in a single month, between the 24th of the
present April and the 25th of May ntaxt,
is very remarkable
r I he first of the four, and the most beau
tifel and interesting of the whole, is that of
\enus, which took place last evening,
when the planet was quite high, and near
ly at the position of its greatest brilliancy.
It. was visible in the British provinces, ami
in that part c.f the United States situated

fiery red, as it will be quite near the Earth;
indeed, at Mars’ opposition to the sun, on
July 17th, next, it will be nearer to us
than for several years, with -a high South
ern declination, thus giving the astrono
mers at the Cape of Good Hope an excel
lent and rare opportunity for determining
its parrallax with greater precision.
The fourth of this extraordinary series
of occultations i3 that of Jupiter in the
forenoon of Thursday, May 24tli, which
also,will he visible in a large part of this
country, but which, taking place whilst
the sun is above the horizon, cannot be
seen except with the aid of a very good
telescope.
Case ferftdy of an Abolition Captain
and Crew —A Southern Lady Griev
ously W ronged.
Among the passengers from New York
on Saturday, by the steamship Roanoke,
were the young and interesting widow and
t wooliildren oftlieUon Beverly L. Clarke
United States Minister to Guatemala and
Honduras. Upon her voyage from As
pimvali, in the steam ship Ariel, Capt.
Minor, as we learn from several of the pas--
sengers of the Roanoke, to whom she re
lated the circumstances, her confidence in
the Captain and crew was basely betrayed.
The Ariel lbft Aspinwall on the 9th inst.,
and Mrs. Clarke having taken passage, ac
cepted the courtesies extended for her
protection by the Captain, and placed her
self, children and servant, in his care. He
treated her with marked respect during the
voyage ; the crew were also assiduous in
their atteutions, and the colored steward
especially’ seemed anxious to lessen the
monotony of the voyage by his kindness.
In the meantime, the colored servant girl
of Mrs. Clarke—a slave highly valued as
a maternal gift, and one with whom she had
been raised from early childhood—manifes
ted a remarkable disposition to carry the
baby to see the Captain several times per
diem, which gave rise to suspicions.
This, however, was overlooked, or at
least nothing was said of it at the time.—
But when the Ariel reached her wharf in
New York, on Wednesday morning last,
the servant girl, under the influence of
offers, which bad been made doling the
trip, was induced t> elope with the colored
slewaid, whose ■wife was with him in the
seerqt. for the purpose of stealing her
froig bondage ; and the steamer had scarce
ly reached the pier, when he and the misled
and deceived creature leaped on shoie and
disappeared. Mrs. Clarke, according to
design, had made arrangements for going
immediately from the Ariel to the Roanoke
which sailed the same evening.^ —But there
was an unexpected difficulty’ thrown in her
way, nor did the hitherto assiduous and
generous Captain show’ his treacherous face,
to offer her assistance towards the ancbt
of the refugees, nor even to procure tor
her the services ofa substitute for her slave
nor even to assist her from the steamer to
the shore. She managed, however, to pro
cure other assistance, and having hired a
white nurse, arrived at the Roanoke in
time, and reached this city, as above stated
on Saturday, morning. After partaking of
breakfast at the Bollingbrouk Hotel, sbe
took the eight o’clock train on the South
side Rail Road, en route for her home in
Tennessee’ She appeared very much
dejected and worn down with sorrow. Her
heart, already made desolate by death,
now freshly torn by tbe ungrateful conduct
ofa cherished servant, tlmmgh the perfidy
of those in whom she confided for protec
tion, could scarcely liave homo more, and
the baseness ot the perpetrators of this
outrage should he held’up to the scorn and
tbe reproach of every honorable citizen.—

Effect of the i'eusus of 1860.
The New York Times makes an elab
orate and candid showing of the effect of
the census of this year on the representa
tion of the several States in Congress. It
figures that the States which will lose rep
resentatives are: Alabama, 1; Connecti

3 ; Ohio, 1; Pennsylvania, 2; Rhode Is

which will gain representatives are : Illi

2; Missouri, 1; Texas, 3; Wiscbnsin, 2.
The other States will stand as they are.—
The Times sums up the remarkable facts
as follows:
1. All the old and large States of the
Union, without exception, lose ground re
latively, and most of them positively.
2. The South loses ground largely ; the
new State of Texas, having _fl.ee fold the

“Wanted—a Printer” says a cote.npora

A printer ! yot for all his dissipated and

thought is chained to his “copy.”
Yon know him by his works who read
the papers and are quick at typographical
errors—whose eye may rest on this mute
evidence of ceaseless toil; correspondents,
editors and authors, who scorn the simple

that he is indifferent to the gem of which
he is but the setter ; think not a subtle ray
