It earl : " We do not overstate the Menhir . in an
teeming that an average of trio vessels each week
clear out of etti • harbok bound - for Africa and a
human cargo, and, the price for the Clearance of a
slaver Is as well known to those in the trade as the
price, of a barrel of pork."
. The exports from this port for the week ending
on Saturday last, again presented aVerygratifying
result, amounting to $1,717,631, against $875,265
in' the corresponding week last year. The total ,
exports for, the year now reach ; $33,944,853—an
inerease of over eight millions above the same pe
riod in .1859., The chief items exported wore
breadstuffe, of ;Oda the shipment to Liverpool
was large, , and cotton, whioh, has been freely
'shipped to England and France. •
Tho enemies of the ferry monopoly between this
city and. Brooklyn achieved quite a triumph yes
terday, in a small way, by running up the bids for
the leases for the next ten years to nearly double
'the prices paid. for ten years past. This was
accomplished by the pluck of Mr. Benjamin
Wood, brother of the Mayor, who was deter
mined, that franchises so valuable should be
made of some, value either to New Yorkers or
New York, rather than enure, as herettifore, to the
exclusive benefit of the burghers of Brooklyn.
The bidding was started at $50,000, and advanced
by thousand dollar strides, up to $BO,OOO, at which
figures George, Law withdraw. Mr. Wood, how
ever, nothing daunted, resolved to carry on the
war, and topped the Brooklyn men a thousand on
each bid, until he touched $103,000, and as there
were evident signs that Brooklyn couldn't go
lunch higher; Mr. Wood, with a benignity as
charming as it was self-denying,, concluded, at
that price, to let them take the property. Mr.
Law found a bolder adventurer than himself, and
the ferry company were made to feel the power of
nerve and money. The people are satisfied at the
result.
- Our Pennsylvania Yancey&
The - Democratio papere of this State, in their
general condemnation of the course of the dis.
union bolters at Charleston, appear to forget that
we had some Yanceyltes in our own delegation
'who should not be lost sight of. Those are they
who; under the lead of Senatir Bigler, were will
ing to leave the Convention and join the cas
eating faetioaiste of the South, and even offered
inducements to get delegates from other States to
to out also. Row shall etch men be. viewed by
Democrats? They Certainly cannot be considered
friends of the party,-for'they were willing to
break it up by joining the seoessionlsts, whom
they encouraged in their treasonable designs.
'When Yancey and other avowed disunion men
Made their most ultra npeeobes in the Convention,
denouncing the Democratic Convention a false to
its pledges among other things, Bigler and friends
were the first to congratulate them, and otherwise
out7lferoded Herod in catering to their extreme
views. They were willing to break up the Demo•
outfit); the only national party in the country, in
order to carry out, 'to the bitter end, their hostility
to Mr..Doaghus. Their subserviency was so marked
as to be contemptible in the right of all honorable
men.
The course of Mr. Bigler does not much surprise
ue, for his policy, during the ,past two years, hap
been in keeping with it He has shOwn a willing
nese .to accede to the most extreme views of the
, Sofithern fire-eaters; and, in all things, wee but
too happy to serve them. The cherished prinei.
pies of the Deineoratio party have snob 'slight hold
arton his political oonsalence that be is entirely
willing to give theist the go-by,. and take to his
bosom the rankiat heresy. This easy virtue of his
is most beautifully exemplified - in his late vote
upon the resolutions of Senator Davis.
In this he deliberately advocates &Congressional
slave code for the Territories, and says that he is
in favor of slavery being kept in them against the
will and wishes of the people. Re takes the Re
publican ground that the power of Congress Is su- •
preme over the Territories, which makes - them
feeble dependencies of the National Government.
Remember Pennsylvanians, that Wm.
your Senator in Congress,.was willing to destroy
tho Democratio party at Charleston, by join
ing the emession traitors of Mr. Tammy;
also remember that if any' of you shall
remove to a new Territory, he will be one of
the first to ask Congress to • compel you to have
slavery, in ease • you do not - accept it voluntarily.
Re thus violates the usages and principles of the
Demo:lrani" party, and therefore is no longer
worthy- our confidence. We hope Democrats will
bear him in mind When he comes to ask: them for
farther piffled favors.—Doylestown Democrat.,

iNPORTANT REPONT ON SLAVE TRAYPIO
Hon. Joan H. Hamm)* from the Committee
on the Judielery in the House, has just concluded
a bill which he intends to report to the House. It
is " a bill to amend an - set 'entitled act in
addition to the sots prohibiting the slave trade.'"
The messages Of the President relatire io th'e Cap.
hire of the staters Wildfire and William bate been
referred to it.
Mir. Romanis, "Talfotring the construotion
placed upon the , act of March, 1819, by President
MONROE, entered into an engagement (Feptember
7th, 1858) with the American Colonization Fooletir

condition, at the rate of $l5O for each person.
demos appropriated $75,000 for the purpose.
Stich may, therefore, be regarded as the set
tled policy of the Government, under the eat
of 1819, and Mr. lirrnonns recommends that
if a doubt on the point exists, it should be
speedily removed by Congressional gotten, for,
argues be, to turn the nnforthhate viethiut of the
slave trade ithproieeted Upon the uninhabitable
odast of Africa, would again eXPose them to the
dominion of the elavtetiaders, ind thus defeat the
entire purpose for which the prohibitory laws of
'Congress were enaCted,
By the "Aehbueton treaty" (eighth article) the
oontraoting- partite Mutually agreed to Maintain
sufficient naval forest on the meat of Aides, Menne
pries the tratio in slaVei, and the, United Ste
clearly committed its honor to effect this object.
The recent capture of the Wildfire and William,
with 07er one thousand Africans, is an appropriate
occasion for the correction of some defects in the
wilding laws. By the act of 1819 the captured
slaver, with Its cargo, is to be taken to a United
States port and delivered to the United State'
marshal of the district, subject to removal to the
coast of Africa under the direction of the Prost
doMt. The expense of the maintenance of the
present African captives In our hands will be
quite large. To obviate this in future, the
report suggests that Congress give authority
to' the. President to direct the commanders
of United States cruisers en the service to
proceed directly to the coast of Africa, and de
liver the Africans to the American agent at that
point, and then return with the captured vessel
and crew to the United Staten, to be proceeded
against according to law. The report also reoem
minds that the President be empowered to con
tract with responsible puttee for thh dare and
prbtection of all Afrieans taken on board of vas
80i.11 in the slave trade. It is believed that these
euggestiens, if aoted on, will enable the President
to. furry out the laws with the least possible cost
oonsistent with humanity.
pt providing for a due enforcement of the laws,
it, may be safely assumed that the polio) , of the
Government will be in the future, as it has been in
the past, entirely against the continuance of the
triffio in any form. Any change in this respect
would not only be a disregard of the humane po
licy inaugurated by the early fathers of the Re
public, and persistently illustrated by our entire
history, but in violation of obligations entered into
by treaty, as unworthy of the civilized character
of. our nation, and shocking to the moral sense of
mankind in general.
In view of these considerations, Inoral,,
Ronal, and economical, Mr. Revamps - thinks
it 'proper that, in the eteoution of the laws upon
tb)e subject, the President should not only be in
vented with the requisite Authority_ to meet
Ceigonoy, but that such power should be made 'of
a permanent character. Then, again, suggests Mr.
Ravenna : It is too obvious to need argument that
a permanent arrangement for the protection of
captured Afrioans On be effected on more favor'.

such circumstances as now require the immediate
notion of the President end Congress.

With the amounts paid on the other routes, the
entire expense for, the overland mail service was
$811,278. To this amount was to be added the
amount paid the steamship company, which made
the total cost of the mail service to the Pacific.
$1,102,270. One year ago the aggregate of these
expenses was 112.237,097, showing a saving of
21.076,421.
It was now proposed toliring the mail service to
the Pulite and intermediate Territories beck to
snph a system which, while not materistilyjnoress
log the present cost, would give such facilities as

Nay perfect the system. He was sorry that there
wee a disposition in Congress to hurriedly abrogate
the Butterfield mail route, the history of which was
o • of the triumphs of the age, and ttoleiy because
o sectional prejudice. When the Postmaster
ecilleral Made contract in 1857, Messrs. But
•el Co. objected to the eirouitone route, as
it; increased Weir outlay;" but the Postmaster
insisted on it, and the contractors had to yield.
Sfuee the route has been in operation there 'has
never been a single failure in the schedule time,
the avertipe time bevies been not twenty-five,' but
twenty-two days—end this, too, in face of the
seemingly insurmountable obstacles •, and they con
tinued this for one year without receiving a single
dollar from the Government, the Post Office appro
priation bill having failed. The average time made
by this line from St. Lents to San trawls,* daring the
six months ending on the 31st of March, 1880. wan
21 days and 15 hours. Now it was proposed to ab
rogate the contrast with this need line, and give
the company $lOO,OOO as liquidated damages. He
was opposed to such action as unjust, disreputable,
and uncalled for. The company had expended. to
pot the line in operation, over $500,000, and up to
this time the receipts for the mails and passengers
bed not covered the annual outlay, and they bad
been obliged, in pursuance of their contract, to
band one hundred and fifty stables and stook them
;with animals and guard them with men.
Their contract wan peculiar, containing no
provision for giving an excuse In ease of failure,
and only paying them when the service was per
formed. They were also to receive protection by
the Government from the Indians, which not being
done, they had to protect themselves at their own
expense, not even receiving the mail pay during
the greater portion of the time,
:Mr. Latham therefore thought that Congress
possessed no right to terminate the contrast, ex
cept by the exercise of despotic power. By the
terms of the contract, the Postmaster General could
not annul or change its provisions. He read a
letter of the Postmaster-General; dated April 18th,
1859, asking the opinion .of the Attorney General,
and the reply of the latter, in which he states that
the Postmaster has no power to alter the terms of
the contrite, and that it would be unjust so to do,
and a violation of the faith of the Government.
Yet it Wan now propoied to do what the Attorney
General said justice and the maintenance of-the
laws forbid, under the plea of its being necossary,to
perftset the umil system. Thiswes net true. If they
gave the power to the Postmaster General and the
company to shorten the route and the schedule time,
they would accomplish all that was desirable, and
give • great Southern overland route to the Pacific
with tri-weekly service. Ile proposed three great
earerlend routes, doing justice to all sections of the
Gauntry, and with Which the people of the Pacific
coed would be satisfied—vie : One tri-weekly, from
fit.Joireph to Plaoerville, fit $400,000. par annum ;
one from St. Paul's to Danes, at $200,000 ; and
the Butterfield route, tri-weekly, at $OOO,OOO, mak
ing an Aggregate ' expense of 51,200,000. Besides
those named. he proposed a route frees theramento
to Portland. Oregon, at a coat of $lOO.OOO. As long
as the franking privilege was continued, it was
utterly impossible to carry the entire printed mat
teroveriand, and he had therefore inserted a pro•
vision authorizing the Postmaster General to con
tract for carrying the printed and franked matter
betfreen the Atlantic. and Pacific. by steamships, at
a oust not to exceed $400,000 : the service to be
trimonthly,'
' Oh no (wetland mail route could any coach sr
wagon carry, exclusive of 'passengere, over 1,000
pounds, and maim the time in the required twenty
days. Yet the mail metier from New York to Ca-
lifonda had averaged 29,000 pounds in weight upon
eaoh tri,p, This was exclusive of the letters by the
overland'mail. The entire mall 'matter to Cali
fornia amounted to from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per
day, an amount nhiettlbould be taken by no over-
lam; route. .
Mr. Lathaml further advocated the continuance
of the mein bonito, in order to supply mail (horn-
ties -with South America, the eeaports of Mexico I
lyisgupon the Pacific, and-Australia, Japan, and
China.
To'reeapitnlato, he would have a daily :nail to
California; 'Mails, daily and weekly, to Oregon,
and * tri-monthly ocean service, within twenty.one
days; at a total cost of $1,700,000 per 'year, being
$537,11971e5a than was paid over a year ago, and
$537.725 more than Is now expended. If. however,
it was determined to abrogate the present contraots
for the, overland mail service, we'sbauld make
no exception, but include all; and then authorize
the Postmaster General to reee!ve sealed proposals
for carrying the daily overland mail over any route
from the Mliadesippi river to San 'Francisco, and
give the contract to the lowest responsible bidder,
Mr.,Latham concluded by showing the vast lm.
portance of the overland mail service, ana in ro•
ply to the objeations as to the cost, he remarked
if the postal system was to s bo considered
iololy with a view to the amount of money re•
calved by it, and to the number of persons sup•
plied, it would ho better for the Government to
abrogate the entire Post Office Department, and
surrender the carriage of the mails to private en
terprise. If the question of reeelpta was to de
termine the extent of the postal facilities which
Would be given to the great West, they would be
so limited that it would be bitter to abrogate them
entirely, and stop all expense of the GOvernment

Mr. liktigitr, as chairman of the Committee on
Public Expenditures. who had eiatnined the sub
ject of printing, spoke of the gross abuses under
the present system, and said the contract system
bad proved a complete failure. He remarked that
the evidence shows that the President and his pre
decessor, .rather by usurpation then right, gave
out the Executive printing to political favorites
for purposes of creating public opinion through in
famous partisan newspapers, and of bolstering up
and sustaining their Administration. The Pennsyl
vanian, Evening Argus, and Constitution, were
participants in the distribution of the profits of the
printing of Post Office blanks, which the President
and Attorney General Sleek know to bonothing but
plunder.
Mr. BARKSDALE, of Mississippi, interrupting,
said Mr. Makin this very 8683106 W voted for Mr.
Defrees for printer, Mr Defrect having, in caucus,
pledged to give one-half of the profits for Republi
ean electioneering purposes.
Mr MORIN supposed that he was not on trial ;
but at the time Mr. Defrost was voted for, he had
no knowledge of the filet stated by the gentleman.
The first he heard of it was through the newspa
pers, and it showed a greater necessity of reform in
the public printing.
Mr. BURNETT, of Kentucky, reminded Mr. Raskin
that he, while condemning the President for the
distribution ofpatronage, had himself dislributed
tht binding in his ern district.
mr. .11381tIN replied that ho liked to take care of
his Mandl., but what be did at to the binding was
done 63 a member of the Printing Committee, and
for the beet interests of the Government.
Mr. Guar.stir, of ChM, said the committee gave
cost the binding at twelve and forty cents. according
to the size of the volumes, while the Senate pay
twelve and a half and seventy-five cents, the latter
being one-tkird higher than the former
Mr. Btnererr replied that Mr Hoskin and Mr.
Gurley paid higher prices than the biddara proposed
to execute the binding.
Mr. Ilosamr said the evidence showed this wee
not so, and toward the conclusion of his speech,
geld, by the reform proposed, the Government
would save a hundred thousand dollars a year.
The minority report, signed by Messrs. Hind
man, of Arkandas, and Clopton, of Alabama, was
read, concluding with a resolution that Mr. Ford's
contract with Messrs. Larcomb k English. for the
execution of the printing, is in violation of the act
of Congress, and declaring the office of printer of
the House vacant.
Mr. Goncerr advocated the bill from the Printing
Committee, providing for the estriblilhment of a
Government printing office.
Ctoerotroppored the project of a Govern
ment printing office, believing that it would large
ly increase the Executive patronage, and not ef
fect the saving of money. As to the reduction of
the present prices, proposed by the majority com
mittee It was too large. Twenty-five per centum
was sufficient, But better than either of these

friends, and not his enemies. As to the testimony
of Mr. Wendell. be believed be bad sought to do

against the President, Attorney General, end
others, came with a had grace from that party
which, with the exception of Mr. Adams, of Massa

wives and mothers who were the ornaments of
their sox, anti their quiet and ennobling influence

their ohildron and husbands. Mr. Parton tolls the
following story of General Jackson's wife :
When General jaokson was a candidate for the
Presidency, in 1828, not only did the party opposed,
to him abuse him for his publio aota, which, if un
constitutional or violent, wore a legitimate aubjeot
of reprobation, but they defamed the ohernotettif
his wife. On ono occasion a newspaper published
in Nashville was laid upon the General's table.
He glanced over it, and his eye fell upon an article
in which the character of Mrs. Jaokson was vie.
'stilly assailed. Fi soon as he rend it ho sent for
his trusty old servant, Duntroodlo.

She knelled the reins but the tighter, and began

The Exciting Criaiinal Case.
An 'extra - 64liter: trial for perjury bed 000apied
the Central Criminal Court, In London, faintarly
a week. no Rev. Mr Retch was recently found
guilty of committing an indeeent assault upon two
little girls committed to Ms mere as pupils, and was
sentenced to a long imprisonment., In proof of bir
innocence, be brought a charge of perjury against
the eldest of the girls, Tugenla Plummer. aged 11
years, and alio was found guilty of the charge. The
child is supposed to have been prompted by her
mother. She wee sentenced to three weeks' im
prisonment, and two years in a reformatory. but
the rentense wee supposed to be merely formal.
[From the Loneon Times.]
Mr. Mitch, the Plaintiff, Sc a clergyman of the
Church of England, In the forty-third year of his
age. After passing through. the usual course or
study at Eaton and Cambridge be went to New
South Wales as a tutor, married in the colony.
returned to England after n short residence there.
and in 1851 wag appointed to the chaplaincy of
Wadsworth Gaol, with a salary of £2.50 n-year.
and a residence. Last year be determined on ad
vertising for
_some young lady pupils, and nn the
11th of Angeet Eugeala Plummer, a' girl eleven
years of age. the daughter of respectable end
wealthy parents, wee brought by her father to his
hnuee, and pieced in his charge. A fortnight
afterwards Mr. and Mrs Plummer came again
with their daughter Stephanie, four years younger
than her sister, and left her elan. The next day,
however, Mre. Plummer returned occe more, and
took both the children away.
Nothing of importance transpired at that mo
ment. but the end wee that Mr. Retch was secured
of indecently assaulting Eugenia and Stephanie
Plummer, tried on the charge. convicted, and sen
tenced accordingly. From his dungeon in New
gets, however. ho nreferra a counter indictment
against Eueenie Plummer, on whose evidence be
had been found guilty; and this child, therefore,
of eleven years of age, was arraigned last week at
the Central Criminal Court for wilful and corrupt
perjury. After five days' Patient hearing, tbe
alert came to a decision on Monday, with a verdict
of " guilty" agaicat Eugenia Plummer, and a yip
taxi acquittal. therefore, of the Rev. Mr. Match.
* * * We moat presume that the two "girls
had been negligently brought up, and diet
they had been allowed a chance of acquiring know
ledge which they would have been better without.
This presumption Is warranted by the evidence.
The elder of the two children, Eugenia, though not
yet twelve years old, bad been, as her mother ad
mitted. ton geed many gebools—" eight or ten per
haps;" and at some of these seminaries she might
hove picked up more than was good for her.
Ryon the younger child acknowledged, in her
oroes-examination, that she were acquainted with
the subject forming the matter of the charge, and
that, though she .• did not know where she learned
to know, ahedid know " Such established promo
city removes ono portion of the probability before
us, and we obtain, also, some little diminution of
the rest. Mr Caron Channel reminded the jury
that Eugenia Plummer had owned to a dislike of
the Hatches, and a wish to get away from their
house, as that there was a kind of motive for her
preceedings.
RENTIVION OF NARY F.VOVaTA VI.IIIIVER•
Mary Eugenia Plummer. the yang girl convicted
of perjury, when placed at the bar. did not appear
to exhibit any concern at her position.
Baron Channel. addressing her, said that the
jury, after a very long and patient had found
themselves compelled to find her guilty of the
stime of perjury, but they bad, at the same time,
not only recommended her to mercy, but to the
very fullest extent of moray the court could award
in reference to the nature of the offence. The
court bad considered the case with the most anxious
attention It woe most lamentable to see a
young child of her tender years standing at
the bar of a court of criminal justice eon
rioted of each an offence ;'hat an he under
stood the verdict of the jury, they were
of opinion that her position wee in a great measure
to be attributed to her want of moral and religious
education- The crime of perjury was one of seri
ous character, for it placed in jebiardy . net only
the property, but the liberty and lives of her Ma
jesty's subjects; bat he thought in her ease she
bad made a statenseht that was not true for a par
ticular purpose, nod he should not enter into
the question whether her parents. were
justified in believing that statement, and-in
preferring the charges they subsignently did
against Mr. hatch. She certainly was not respon•
Sible for that proceeding, and there
,WBS good
reason to believe that,sbe was laboring under n
want of education, both religious and moral, and
had imbibed habits of untruthfulness which. if not
°beaked, might- lead to, great misehlef i His im
pression Was that she h , ll told this story originality
far the purport of being taken away fr9m. Mr
Hatch's, and not being rent bock, and that she had
afterwards bean led to persist in it by the inter
