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

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

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.

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.
