THE DAILY COURIER" COMMERCIAL. Town Trifles. Uflumphrey Marshall, whose penchant for Another Blow. Our friend Joe Scott, msil agen! on the No. 3 Telegraph furnishes H3 with the following memorandum of the trip, from Cincin AMUSEMENTS THEATEE, George Mbu.us XXXIVTH SESSION Monday's Proceedings.

Washington, Dec. 15. Senate A motion ot Mr. Jores, of Iowa, the Committee of Commerce were directed to inquire into the-expediency ot making a further appropriation of $30,000 for the enlargement of the Custom House, Post Office, at Dubuque. On motion nf Mr.

Jones, of Iowa, the creden talk vox tt prtzterca nihil we all know, took after the Democracy in a speech in the House on the 11th inst. He had spoken for a long while, when the Hon. J. L. Orr gave him a thrust from whichHumphrey never recovered as he opened not his mouth again.

The rebuke was administered after this fashion: Mr. Orr asked Mr. Marshall whether, if he had been here, he would have voted for the Kansas-Nebraska bill. Mr. Ma; shall replied that, with a Southern construction, he would have voted for it, but with; a Northern construction, against it.

Mr. Orr did not consider the answer satisfactary. He did not believe in Squatter Sovereignty, nofdid he believe that doctrine contained in ihe Nebraska bill. He saw no authority in the Constitution to pass the Wilmot Proviso, and could not see how Congress, not having that power, can create the authority and invest the creature with greater power than it possesses itself. Oiher gentleman, however, think the Territorial Legislature is invested with ttie authority t3 prohibit or introduce slaver in tue Territory.

1 lie geutieman ien-nessee struck the true point, and took the wind out of Mr. Marshall's sails, aud left him high and dry on laud. Alihouirh Mr. Orr denieii that Squat ter Sovereignty exists by virtue of the Nebraska Dill, it was practiealiy 01 little cousequecce whether it does or not. If the people do not want slavery they can decline to pass laws for its protection, and tbat would be just as effectual as a law passed to exclude it.

liOsers were privileged to be grumbling, and he congratulated tke count'nt that Kentucky had placed herself in a rorrect position by giving her etectorat voce to tne candidates Of tncucmocracy. Let the gentleman (Marshall) from the Commonwealth take this home with hiin. There is a dfferi. ence of the opinion amon? Democrats as to Squat ter Sovereignty, and let him make the most of it. Eseapc of a Notorious CninriE from the Mays- vine an -luminous t.iirciessin-ss-owsmau a Hole a Biff Man can Crawl Through.

The caBe of- the Commonwealth arrainst William Brcokover, forstealiog 600 in gold, about three years occupied trom six to nine days 01 tue Mason circuit court, at three different trials ereat- ly to the cost, disappointment, and in some suits the positive injustice and serious pecuniary loss of some litigants. The extraordinarily determined defense made by able lawyers for him uud the strenuous efforts of bis family aud a few friends, prevented the final issue of the master until the recent October court. He was then committed to the penitentiary for three years but by similar extraordinary efforts, got a hearing before the Court of Appeals, where the case was heard by counsel last week, and on Wednesday last was affirmed. The news reached here on Friday morning. Between ten and two o'clock on Friday (last night he effected his escape.

There are various opinions as to how ho effected his escape; the common opiniun is this: The door of his cell (in which he was not ironed, as he should have been, after final sentence and all hope of escape bv any quirk of the law,) was ualocked and open doubtless a false key beina used, as such an one used by a prisoner named Gunsaul, some months ago. On reaching the or ectry, it is supposed he got through a Httla hole made by sawing an iron bar before the window, which sawing was doae more than a year ao, aud the bar has never been seeurely fastened since. A blanket in strips was hanging from the window, and foot 5 racks indicated tint the prisoner had slipped down the Wanketrope and jnmped to the ground. Brookover, the prisoner, was a man about five feet eijrht inches high, and weighed probably one hundred and sixty pounds, and was a broad shouldered man. Yet he squeezed himself through a space which by actual measurement is 12J -ipcbes loner and inches wide.

Some persons think he could not have gotton through that ijole; but they are wrong, for that oonld be easily done. There are others a good many too who believe he (lid not get out of tbat hole and that opinion is traiiiirjg ground. Great activity shown among some of his friends last nierht, aud the Diisoner it is reported wa3 seen early this morn inr in Ohio. The jailor was requested to have r-- guard em-1 ed last night, and was assured bv a very re-1 sponsible man that he would pay the expense. The jailor engaged somebody, but somebodv didn't come, and so there was no guaru.

1 tie jailor watched the jail until his bedtime at 10 o'clock, and at 2 o'clock, when he rose to go To market, the "bird had flown!" He offers -5100 for his apprehension, it is suppose'! the Governor of the State will offer from S300 to S500 more.

TUESDAY Theater. Miss Inco appeared last night a fter a prolonged absenoo from our boards. Sho has measurably improved, as must be the case with every lady pos.essing her intelleotual caliber. The play of the Hunchback wa rendered with great ability. The after piaoe was one of those eomioal, humorous things with which we always like to night-cap an evening's entertainment.

Speaking of theatrical matters we regret to say tnat our friend Mr. Melius, the manager, i 3 eonuned to his room by serious indisposition. Per List of Letters see Fourth Page. Fiee at the Post Office. Last evening aDoutH 0 clock an intense excitement was created at the Post Office by large volumes of smoke issuing from the cellar gratings.

It was soon ascertained hat the wasta paper and rubbish had taken fire from coals that had accidentally fallen through the flooring. Happily, no alarm was given, and the fire was readily extinguished by the employees, without the aid of the engines. This is the second aceident of the kind Uiat has occurred at the Post Offlce within a fewyear Robbery. The residence Mr. Henry Cart- well, on the corner of Floyd and Lafayette was robbed durtaj Sunday night, of $265.

It is supposed by Mr. that the robbers were se creted in the house wher-. he retired to bed. After obtaining their plunder they heaped chairs, tables and other impediments on the stairs so thai had Mr. C.

been aroused and given chase, he would have been apt to have broken his Heck As it was he narrowly escaped when he arose in the morning, and started to go below from his i bed chamber. Add ess To-Night on Revision of the Bible. President Shannon, late of Missouri University, will deliver an address tu-night in the Christian Church, eornerof Fourth and Walnut streets, on "The Revision of the Bible." President Shannon is esteemed by many eminent scholars in this eountry as one of the first Greek scholars living, and among the best biblical critics of the age. An able and interesting lecture any therefore be expected. EPWe are requested to call the attention of the ladies and buyers to the great French china sale by Mr.

J. T. Burton, this mornag at 10 o'clock, at the store No. 518 Market street, between Firsi and Breok streets. Every article will surely be sold to the highest bidder.

He will also continue his sale of fine gold watches and diamend rings at 6 o'clock this evening at his Auction Rooms, No. 80, Fourth street. Here is a good chance to get Christmas presents cheap. 33" We see a flaming advertisement in the papers of every section of the country, concerning a new, able and elegant weekly literary paper entitled "The Nation," and published at Philadelphia. Among the stated contributors as advertised, are Park Benjamin, Alice Carey, Mrs.

Southworth, Henry Wm. Herbert, Ben Casseday, VV. P. Brannan, and Chas. A.

Page-The names of the three last will be recognized as those of our townsmen. It is not often that a city the size of Louisville can boast of a trio of sach literary celebrities as these. FJ: Hundred Dollars Peward! A gentleman living near Neetsville in Adair county, authorizes us to say that he will give 3500 reward to any one who will guess the name rf the new party that will rise upon (or frjTn) the ruins of the Know Nothing pary and the Black Republican party, "and be responsible for the obnoxious acts and violated pledges of either." Another fair correspondent in Pewee Valley enters the lists this morning in defence of that favored locality from some insinuations that appeared in a letter we published a few days ago. If "Marie" is a gentleman, as ad, arid there is any probability that he will be found out, wa advisehim if he has any regard for his comfort and safety to leave the country forthwith. Steam Engines fob Sale.

It will be seen by the advertisement in another column that the engines of the steamboat Cityjof Wheeling are offered for sale on very favorable terms. They are fine pieces of machinery, and are in good order. Capt. I. S.

Moorhead, of this city, can give all desired information in regard to them. ET We are requested by S. G.

ID Among the visitors to our city, we had tke pleasure of meeting yesterday our old friend Mr. Wolf Samuels, now of New York. He is looking remarkably well, and is in fine spirits in regard to his business prospects in Gotham. A man with his energy and enterprise could not fail of success anywhere. are requ- sted by Mr.

15. The Supreme Court met to-day. All the judq-es were present and many distinguished jurists and members of Congr-ss. Th case of Scott, plaintiff, vs. John P.

A. Sand ford cam-; un for argument on qupstions of law. The plaintiff, a man of color, brought suit to try his right to freedom. He claims to have beeti tmancipatedby his master having taken him to reside in lilioois, which act, as is declared by the Constitution of that State, operated to emancipate. The Circuit Court decided against the plaintiff on the ground that by his return to Missouri his-mas era right, dormant whilst in Illinois, was revived that the Constitution of Illinois was a penal law.

which the Courts of other States were notboundto enforce. The case was argued at the last sesjion, bnt the decision reserved to alldw anroAntS- on certain points af law. Montgomery Brair for he plaintiff, Reverdy Johnson, H. S. Grier for the claimant.

Mr, Blair opened the case bysrating that nothing wns aid at last session upon ona qneslinn on which the Conn invited hrument, namely, wheth-eraplfiain abatement of the jarisdiciiiQ of the Conrt is waived by pleai'jg the rner its of the case He quoted th1 of Judge Daniel to that effect that the act ol''39 did not change the rule of common law requiring a p'eain abatement. Unless tinal judgment wae made nn that plea it waived. The Conrt cannot take notice of eviden when trying the law on the subject. Another question is, whether the applicant is a citizen of Missouri. Mr.

Blair contended that the plaintiff is legally a free man of Missouri, within the eleventh section ofthe acr of '99. has been objected that he is not entitled to all the immunities of other citizens, but if that is the test of citizenship three-fourths of he whites of the United Stages are not because the ceusos shows there is not more than voter in every live ff the inhabitants, therefore hypothesis due? not hold good. The allegation that the plaint iff is not a citizen because he does not belong ton particular class, such as are eligible to the Senate for instance, fulls to the ground like the ot'ier, because there are many citizens ot' the United Stages, foreigners by birth, who ire nut eligible to the Presidency. 3 He referred to tbe decision of Judge Gaston, of "that all person? born in the realm are citizens slaves are citizens under disabilities, and foreigners are citizens under disabilities which are removed by naturalization. He instanced the Constitutions of rarious States, which declare every white iftale citizen shall vote," showing by the language that there are other citizens, and that it is necessary to deny (hsm certain privileges by positive enactments and express law.

Mr. Blair thought this social law was not law for courts of justice and contended, on the erronnd of former ruling of courts, the party need not be entitled to all the privileges of citizenship. Judge Gaston there has been no law repealing the general principle of common law "that birth makes citizenship, indeed." An act of the Missouri Legislature of 1845 expressly recognizes free negroes as citizens, and declares that none come there who are not declared by other States as citizens. The next question was the constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise whether it is so or not, the Constitution of Illinois, and under it the plaintiff is entitled tofreedom.nnle- forfeited by his return to Missouri, and the Declaration of Independence declares liberty on those Jrihts which are inalienable, and are we told that the negro, by any act of can abrogate this act? He cited many cases bearing on this subject, and said tlu.t Judge Scott, of Missouri, was the first man in this continent to find out that the plaintiff alienated his liberty and was made a slave asain. It was a settled point of law in Missouri, even before her but it was not law.

but passion and politics that invaded Judge Scott mind. It was a point of common law, woich thecoattwas called npon to decide. It was not bound to consider Judge Scott's opinion more than that of any other, except for wcisrbt and learning. He alluded to tbe point of his opponent in brief, that Dr. Emerson must be regarded as a person in trausitn, and said 'here is no evidence that he had a residence other than the nlace where he was found residing.

He quoted an act 0f Illinois on the the subject of slavery, any violation of which confers emancipation. "The man took the negro to Illinois under the knowledge that he thereby became free and cannot be held. He intended to violate a law which prohibits slavery or involuntary servitude. As to the the Missouri Compromise, he with the oonntry had entire confidence in the decision of tMs Court, whichever side of the line it might decide, was indifferent to him. A proposition was made by Congress in 17S0 to tbe States for a general cession of lands for the purpose of leceral administration of them for ctramon use and benefit the first to be sold the second for the ap-nointm-mt of r.cmporary governments tbe third for admission as States.

Urtaer that actunder that act, cessions were made by Virginia and other Ststes. In resolution was offered by Jefferscn, excluding slavery from ihe land ceded some of the States being unrepresented it didn't pass. Ia T85 Mr. King, when renewing Jgfferson's motion, said Congress had all needful power to pass rules and rcsolations for the government of ihe Territory. This would authorise the enactment of a law prohibiting slavery.

The Conrt hud affirmed tbat act of '35, re-ancted that of '37, and by tbe 8th section of the Missouri Act slaver was forever prohibited North of 36 deg. 30 sec. There was no doubt upon the subject till the fh-ventio of squatter sovereignty, which he thought was tbe father of many anomalies. The Vigilance t'ommittee of San Francisco, for instance, was an illegitimate exercise of sqatter sovereignty. The Compromise Act of '50, iii spirit, if not language, re-affirms the act of '45, prohibiting slavery in Texas, North of that line, for it says nothing shall be implied to invalidate, etc.

Without concluding, Mr. Blair gave way for ad journment The case will last several days'. Stabbed. Boston, pec. 15.

It is designed to give no undue influence or preponderance to any sect, but to encourage morality anfi Bible Readies In Iho Marine Hospitals. With this in view, the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Guthrie, has issued a new set of regulations to the ottioers having in charge these useful and hu mane institutions. Among the rules is one direct ing each patient at the hospital to be provided with a Bible and other religious tracts, at the expense of tue government. The physician in charge is also directed to see that each patient reads the Bible morning and evening, and that twice on tha Sabbath some one of the number read3 aloud to the other patients, so that mutual profit and instruction may be had.

We understand that Dr. B. J. Breckinridge has made every necessary arrange, ment to carry iuto execution these orders of Secret tary Guthrie. He informs us that, atfirsS, there were soma symptoms of rebellion a number of the old boatmen who are-laid up in tbat rendezvous in order to refit their shatteredhulks, Aid not seeriuoh sense in Bible reading, and objected to that use of the time they might idle away.

But Dr. with his genial saavity of manner, these objections said orders must be obeyed, and now administers to his ailing patients soothing loiiojsard texts of Scripture, with the skill of the able physician which he is, and the theological adroitnesis that has made hia distinguished kinsmen famous ih the reSglous world.

There was a congregation disappoiBtetl by the absencs of its pastor at Madison on Sab bath, the reverend divine, one Anderson, whose arrest we mentioned in the Courier yesterday having been taken past the field of his minister ial labors to CarroIIton.

There he will doubtless find as hot a place as he ever described to th awe struck vision of his sinning auditors. Among the documents found in Anderson's possession was an abundance of the peculiar yellow paper used for free passes, by the fugitives recently captured at Bedford, Indiana. He also had letters and recommendations, commending him to the confidence and sympathy of all friends of human liberty. Of his special patrons the following appear to be prominent: J. W.

Donohue, Cincinnati. S. G. Stephens, Madison. W.

H. Thomas, a member of tho Wisconsin Conferjnce of the Methodist Church at Baraboo, Wis. E. H. Labin, Grrencastle, Ind.

J. W. Sullivan, Connersville, Ind. Sisoulak Exposition. Our readers will re member that the votes of the counties of Grant, Bracken and Letcher were not counted in the official vote of th.3 State, the reason assigned being thai they been returned in time to the office of the Secretary of the State.

We now learn by a letter from Judge Mason Brown, Secretary of State, published in the Frankfort Commonwealth o'f yesterday, that the returns from Bracken and Grant counties were received at his office by due course of mail, but by some unpardonable negligence or stupidity they 'were accidentally placed in the bundle of receipts for books from those counties," and were not discovered until a few days ago. The vote of Letcher county, which gave Buchanan upwards of 200 Majority, was mailed the 7th or 10th of November, hut did not arrive at Frankfort until December 2d. And such is the manner in Know Nothing ofBaials manage matters! 2,533 voters in the cou ities of Bracken and Crrant are dis franchised by the carelessness of the Secre tary of State. We no longer wonder that that official was not willing for an investiga tion to be made by the Committee of the College of Electors. We verily believe that if Buchanan's aaijority in Kentucky had been only two or three thousand certificates of election would by some jugglery, have been given to the Know Nothing candidates for Electors! Abscondjo.

John Snyder (red headed John) has made tracks from Maysville, in this State, with a fair "Helen of leaving his wife to look out for number one. John told his own wife he was going to Pennsylvania, to gone a few days," and we suppose considering the clemency of weather, and the uangeroi catching cold, judiciously concluded to take a befurcated comforter with hira. He magnanimously left his wife and children the sum of 85, for their comfortable support and maintenance. Inland Shipment of Coin. The Adams Ex- pjess Company have jeceivtd orders from the Treasury Department, for the transfor of 000 gold coin, from St.

Government eighty three millions of dollars, in coia, and never yet have sustained the loss tone dime in the operation on the contrary they have a credit for excess of weight on amounts delivered. ESIn Congress th9 other day Mr.

Keitt, of S. attempted to get the floor in order to ad dress the House, but Speaker Barks failed to recognize him in tho confusion. Thereupon Keitt threatened vengeance, and after the ad journment waited at the door armed with a heavy club in order to assail Mr. Banks. The latter, however, went out in another direction, and thus a collision was avoided.
