DRED SCOTT CASK Principal Facte of the Great Salt Briefly Stated. P Sixty-three years ago?March 6, 1*67?the supreme court of the United States rendered its decision in the famous Dred Scott case, and it is fairly within the bounds of truth to say that the opinion that day delivered qt>y the honorable tribunal made the war between the States a foregone conclusion. Dred Scott was a slave, belonging to a surgeon in the United States army. He was taken by his ntaster to Fort Snelllng, in the State of Illinois, territory from which, by the ordinance of 1787, slavery had been forever excluded. Afterward he was carried into Missouri, where he was hired as a slave. Claiming freedom on the ground that his residence in Illinois had wiped out his status as a slave, his qase was taken before the supreme court for settlement. After a three years' consideration of the case the decision of the court was pronounced in an exhaustive opinion delivered by Chief Justice Taney, seven of the nine judges con curnnr. In substance, the decision was rn follows: (1) That persons of the (African race were not, and could not be, acknowledged as "part of the people," or cltisens, under the constitution of the United States; (2) that Congress had no right to exclude cltisens of the South from taking negro servants, as any other property. into any part of the common territory, and that they were entitled to claim Its protection therein; (3) that the Missouri compromise of 1820, In so far as it prohibited African slavery north of a designated *? ?U..4U?n| nn.1 f/vM iiuv, wan uiacuiiBiuuiivnui auu ?uiu. The court. In justifying its ruling, "used these words: "In that portion of the United States where the labor <cf the negro race was found to bo unsulted to the climate and unprofitable to the master but few slaves were held at the time of the Declaration of Independence; and when the constitution was adopted It had been entirely worn out In one of them, and measures had to be taken for its gradual abolition In several others. But this change had not been produced by any change of opinion in relation to the race, but because it had been discovered from experience that slave labor was unsuited to* the y. climate and productions of those Btates; for some of those States, k when It had ceased, or nearly ceased to exist, were actively engaged in the H . slave trade; procuring cargoes on the W coast of Africa and transporting them for sale to those parts of the W Union where their labor was found i to be profitable and suited to the climate vand productions. And this traffic was openly carried on, and fortunes accumulated by it. without maxsmaa fsAm nnngtlp of tllO i vpiunvu i* VIII " ? States where they resided." Never was an "opinion" of a court followed by results so stupendous and far-reaching. The decision raised a tempest from one end of the country to the other. Feeling ran high. Many Northern Democrats broke away from the party. Douglas, who, but for the decision, might have averted the sectional division, was shorn of half hls strength. PRIXZ1I* NATIONAL -HKRO.

Sarajevo, in the province of Bosnia, in the old kingdom of AustriaHungary, where the murder of Frando Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austria, precipitated the World war, is a city of about a milllion souls, living or dead. Fifty thousand of them ore living, and the rest repose, apparently, on the bosom of Allah in the various Moslem cemeteries which impede traffic everywhere throughcut the town.

' V Imraafe of his loyal subjects," was assassinated In the streets of Sarajevo ! by Qavrtlo Prinslp. The spot of the assassination bears no opark to distinguish it. By the xlver wall, near where the assassination occurred, there was formerly a temporary tablet placed by the Austrian government to commemorate the place. This was removed at the time of the revolution and is now a historical 'curiosity In the town museum. Already in tradition, but not yet in song or in marble, Prlnzlp is a naI tional hero. Long a member of a I Serbian secret terrorist society, he was chosen for the deed because he was still a few weeks under the age I of 20, and according to Austrian law, the death penalty cannot be pronounced on any one under 20. All that Is definitely known about him, subsequent to the assassination, is that he was condemned and taken to the fortress of Dusseldorf in Bohe imn, where he died. It is said that in prison Prlnzip played the part of a hero by refusing, under unspeakable tortures, to incriminate the Serbian government in his plot. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
