We have now before us two acts passed at the
late session of the Legislature of Maryland relative
to the colorcd population of that State slave and
free, of sufficient interest, III connection with the
recent discussion of the same subject here to in
ducc to lay brief abstract of their provisions
before readers. Want of room alone prevents
publishing them in cxtcnso.
The first, is entitled An Act relating to the peo-
pie OF color 1t appropriatcs twenty thousand dol
lars, and authoriscs loan, not exceeding two hun.
dred thousand dollars, and places these sums at the
disposal of Commissioners, to be applied to the re-
moval of people of color, now free, or who NAV
hereafter become so, to Liberia, or elsewhere with
their consent, and to provide for their support after
such removal, as far may be necessary in the
opinion of the Commissioners. 1t requires that in
all cases of manumission the person liberated shall
be removed beyond the limits of the State with or
without the consent ofsuch person, but the option
is given to renounce the right freedom and to re-
main slave and authority is vested in the Or
phans' Court, to grant permission, from year to
year, to such persons it deems worthy of it, to
remain in the State. Tho Commissioners ere also
authorised in their discretion, to hire out such ma
numitted slaves until their wages shall produce a
sufficient to defray the expenses attending
their removal and necessary support at the place
ofremoval
The second, is entitled An Act relating to free
negroes and slaves. 1t prohibits the removal of any
free negro or mulatto into the State. 1t provides
that If any such shall into, and shall remain
ten days in the State, they shall BIO subject to fine
of fifty dollars for every week they shall remain,
O.. and authoriscs sale for such time as may be ne.
cessary to pay the penalty. 1t prohibits, under a
penalty, the employing any such free negro or mu-
latto, but excludes from its operation mariners and
drivers of wagons from neighborng States, or SER
wants travelling with their masters.
1t prohibits the bringing slaves into the State for
sale, after the first day of June next under the pc
nalty offorfeture of the slaves and provision is
made for their removal to Liberia, or elsewhere be-
yond the limits of the State, with proviso reserv
ing former rights TO proprietors of islands in the
Potomac, and to authorize any one owning tracts
of land in Maryland and other adjoining States
within ten miles of each other to remove slaves
from one tract to another for purposes of cultva.

There are various other provisions relating to
keeping arms, attending religious worship, buying
and selling, &c which we do not consider of con-
sequence here to specify.

to this the unrelcnting bs, barity Of the
king is commonly attributed. He es.
capped from Glatz, and took service
SUCCESSFULLY with the Russians and
Austrians. Many years afterwards, in
1884, ashs was passing through Dant.
z'c he was treacherously given up to
the Prussian government, and was sent
to the fortress Of Msgdeburg. Here he
was confined for nearly ten years, with
circumstances Of the most aggravated
cruelty. He was placed in q damn
dungeon, loaded with irons Of sixty
eight pounds weight, almost starved
to death, and, 6nally, tortured. by
being walked during slumbers every
nall hour. This overwhelming misery
did not, however, break his spirit: as.
sisted BY the pity Of the soldiers who
guarded him, he contrived TO send let.
ters to the Princess Amelia, and 10
others Of his friends. By these means
he obtained money with which he brib.

progress Of them. Suffice Il TO say,

that he was 6naily released, towards

In Mr.. Adams Report, We find the follow
ing facts, which show how light are our pub
lie burdens:
The representative population Of the
United States, nc the close of the year
1881. just expired, somewhat exceed
ed eleven millions Of souls. The gross
amount Of revenue levied upon them
during the same year, may be set down
in round numbers at twenty two mil
lions Of dollars. Supposing il to have
been raised by poll tax, il would have
smosnted to an average Of two dollars
Q head. During the same year, in the
Island Of Great Britain, upon q popu-
lation Of about sixteen millions. there
was levied By taxation, about two hun
dred and forty millions Of dollars, or
fifteen dollars head. No other ma
ton in Europe is so heavily taxed as
Great Britai0, and none so lightly 'as
the United States Considering only
the amount Of taxation in the latter, It
night occasion some surprise that there
shouid have arisen in any quarter cause
Of complaint.
