SLAVERY IN THE U. STATES.

in the following letter, which we find in the last Savannah papers, we recognise the precise sentiments and opinions which we have frequently had occasion to express, and which we are glad to be able to sustain by such high authority. Ilst.
 NEW YORK, May r, 1883.
 .hy Deer SNN-I have received your let ter of last evening, requesting me to state my opinion of the power of Congress on the subject of slaves and slavery, and of the existence of any wish or design, on the part of mediterranean, to interfere with the security or regulation of that species of property.
 My sentiments on this subject, my dear sir, have been often publicly expressed; but can have no objection to repeat the de- elaration Of tthaena, if 1t be thought hy YOU that such eeclaration might, in the smallest degree, aid the friends of Union and the Constitution in the south, in dispelling pre- juices which are so industriousIy fostered. and in quletlng agitations so unnecessarily kept alive.
 In my opinion, the domestic slavery of the southern States is q subject within the exclusive control of the States themselves: and this, l am sure, is the opinion of the whole north. Congress has no authority fo interfere in the emancipation of slaves. or III the treatment of them in ang aI tlla States. This was so resolved by tho House of Representatives when Congress sat in this city in i79o, on a report of q committee, consisting almost entirely of,

 .Madrid, .May 2s.-With profound grief we announce to our readers the death of MT. Charles s. Waisb, Secretary of Legation of the United States at this Court. This gentleman had been some time i'll, till at length, having exhausted all the re- sources of medical science, he determined to try the effects of change of air, ac- cordingly he left town, accompanied by his physician and faithful attendant, In order to proceed to Valencia, but his sickness overcame him on his way, and he was obliged to stop at Quintanar de la Orden, where he fell victim to the violence of q confirmed consumption. What makes the affiiction more grieyaus, IS tue fact that ne was cut off in the bloom of hie, beng not more than B years of age, and in the mIdst of distinguished career.

In a recent conversation with Mr. DU- RANT, he Informed us that the greatest rate of his travelling in the air was on his se- cend ascension, in 1880, from Castle Gar den, up thg North River. Although the wind was net high; he found himself, in three minutes from starring, over a spot three miles from the Garden. This rate would propel him 50 miles an hour. Now Mr. Drant, at the same rate of travelling, with a fair wind might traverse the whole conti- nent of America from New Orleans to Portland, in the short space of 2I hours, witnessing partly by moonlight portions of the Statbs of Louisiana, Alabama, Geor- gla, North Carolina, Virginia, PennsylYa- mia, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and
 Maine. We have little hesitancy, from our knowledge of the 'sgroat brave,n that he dare undertake such an exploit.
 MT. Duraat also informs us that the rate by which he might be propelled in a gale of wind, wouldbe 100 miles the hour, which would carry him from Louisiana to Maine between sunrise and sunset. The balloon "o"io not De HheIy to suffer nlufy, and from hls experience heretofore, he Is sure thai ills respiration would not be affected, because, when seated in his car, however hgh the wind, he is in perfect calm, and Ii candle were lit, would not only not be blown out, but would not even flare. MT. Du- rant would take tour of this kind, were he sure that, in such a distance, there would not be adverse currents. He Is, however. determined to attempt, and we have no doubt he will accomplish, in the line of his profession, more than any other Eronat that has preceded him.
 Whatever career Mir. D. may choose to adopt, and however chimerical, he may be sure of the best wishes of his fellow-citi- zens n favor of his success.

 FRANCE.
 A very serious disturbance took place few days ago at Boves, near Amiens. On the morning of the 23d ut. considerable mob was formed with view to oppose the removal of the rector of that parish, who had been denounced to the Archbishop The rector himself had succeeded in indu- rcing the crowd to disperse, when national guard suddenly made it's appearance in. arms. He was soon followed by some others. The mob was again formed and struggle ensued, which was neither long nor bloody, but the National Guards were compelled to yield. Towards the middle of day, the Gendarmes, which had been sent for by the Mayor, arrived from Am- liens; and about in the evening, five per sons who had been arrested were sent off for Amiens with handcuffs. At the sight of the irons, the indignation of the popu- lace rose to its highest pitch. The escort was assailed by shower of stones, the leader of the squadron was struck on the head and thrown from his horse; and even some of the prisoners were hurt. The Gendarmes were obliged to yield to num- bers and abandon their charge. In the night Boves was surrounded by detach- ment of the garrison of Amiens, and at day-break, 12 prisoners were secured with out resistance.

 The last accounts from Lisbon mention that the Infante Don Carlos and his family had embarked on board an English fiigate which Is to convey them to Civita Vecehia.

IildaGn .Names.-The circumstance that the name of Black Hawk has been recent ly given to large ship in Philadelphia re- minds Us of q great prevalence of the same kind of simple but efectual memorials throughout the country. There is no dan- ger that the red men will be forgotten.- Light of the States, not to mention the Territories, have Indian names. They are Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Ii- linois, Kentucky. Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. So have all the great bays and harbors on the coast of the Union. the Penobscot, Casco, Nanaganset, Ches- apealSe, &c. So have the rivers, the Ken nebec, Soco, Connecticut, Merimac, Mo- hawk, Susquehanna, Roanoke, Potomac, most the Southern streams, all the great waters of tho West, the Northern Lakes. in word, the whole breadth of the coun- try IS charged with the indeIible memory of the brave race whose canoes. and cabins, fitest emblems of their own vanishing frail- ty, have been swept like themselves from the face of the land. Well! Let them be remembered! 'Tis but a poor acknow- ledgement at the best, for the cession of a spiiefe-peor atonemen for the ex- fermnatlon of its primeyal masters.

A friend has kindly favored us with the following interesting paragraph:
 People who are in the habit of looking into statistics sare not aware of inc vast dis proportion in the density of the population between the different sections of the United States. New England Is far more densely settled than any section of the country.- In fact the population of Massachusetts which in this respect far exceeds that of the other New England States, presents a greater number to the square mile than many of the countries in Europe even in- eiuding some of those which have for some centuries been considered populous king doms. Spain for instance, has an average of but sirty-tIree individuals to the square mile; Scotland but seUenty-oa8; Denmark but sepeaty-sie; while Massachusetts has segenty-eigM.

John Mclean, now one of the Judgts of the Supreme Court of the United States Pressed by poverty and anincreas- ing family, the old man sold off his little property, and with yoke of Oxen and a cart, transported his all over the Alleghany and settled in the State of Ohio, where by dint ofindustfy, economy, and good luck, he was enabled to rear a large family, and to give them such an education as not only to render them respectable, but to enable several of the sons to become eminent men. john being the oldest received q very good, butnota classical education. After which, by teaching school, living with prudence and economy, he was enabled to acquire his profession, tie law. He soon became eminent in his vicinity, and during the late war was frs elected memberofC Congress. He took an active part in supporting the war measures, and Mir. Madison's adminis- tration generally. During the succeeding administration of NIf. Monroe, he was ap- pointed Post-Master General, an office for which he seems to have been peculiarly fitted. In this department he soon reduced confusion into order. MT. Mclean con- tinued Post-Master General till the cleo tion. of Gen. Jackson, when, it is said, he was unwilingly placed on the hench of the Supreme Court of the U. States.-yMon- aoutb J. ' Eaq.

northern members; and do not know an instance of theI expression of different opinion, ineithef House of Congress since. cannot say that particular individuals might not possibly be found, who suppose that Congress may possess some power over the subject. but l donof not know any such persons, and if there be any, am sure they are few. The servitude of so great portion of the population of the south is, undoubtedly, regarded,at the north; as a great evil, moral and political; and the discussions upon i, which have recent Fly taken place in the Legislatures of sever- al of the slave-holding States, have been read with very deep interest.
 But lis regarded, nevertheless, as an evil the remedy for which lies with those Legislatures themselves, to be provided and applied according to their own sense of po- 1 licy and duty. The imputations which you say, and say truly, are constantly made against the north, are, in my opinion, en- tirely destitute of any just foundation. 1 have endeavored to repel them, so far as has been in my power, on all proper occa- sions; and for fuller expression of my own opinions, both on the power of Con- gross, and ontfle gromdless charges against 3nottheri-meil, begf leave to refer x 5a..sfa | my remarks in the debate on Mr. FOCUS Resolutions, in 1880.

This size should be put on as warm as possible, and care should be taken that no part of the carpet should be Jeff untouched by it, otherwise the varnish to be afterwards laid on will sink into the paper and spoil 1t. When the size is per ITfactly dry, theeearpet shonld have one or more coats of boiled oil; and when that is dry, a coat of copal or any other yarnish. The varnish is not absolutely essential, as boiled oil has been found to answer very well without t; t; but where oil only is useds it requires several more coats to be applied, and takes a much longer time to dfy.-- These carpets are portable, and will roll up
 with about the same ease as oil cloth.
 They are very durable, are easily cleaned, and, if made of well chosen patterns, have a very handsome appearance.-En Encgclo- pedia q Cottage, SC. .arehiteetaue.
