cuniary distress prevailing in Mississippi, has
caused, or is about to cause, the passage of a
law prohibiting the introduction of slaves into
that State from other States. The ready de-
mand for slaves in the South West, and the
high price paid for them,-freauently $1,000
per man,-has had powerful tendency, oflate,
to check emancipation in Maryland, Virginia,
&c.-Jour. Of Com.
Extract of a letter dated
JACKSON, Miss. April 96.
The bill to prohibit the introduction of slaves
into this State as merchandise, or for hire, hav-
ing passed the House, is now before the Com
mittee of the Senate on the Judiciary. The
bill will no doubt pass the Senate without any
material amendments. Most of the members
believe that the clause of our State Constitu-
ton, prescribing that "The introduction Of
slaves into this State as merchandise or for sale,
shall be prohibited from and after the LIST May,
1885, compets them to vote for the bill.
Harrisburg, Pa, May 21st.-An extraordi-
nary and ominous change of feeling has our
Reform Convention undergone within the last
week. Patty lines have disappeared. 1t is
doubted whether another party vote will be la
ken during the session. The Reformers hav-
ing blown of their steam, during the first week
or two, have even ceased to talk, much less TO
enact, radicalism. There is a striking unani-
nifty Of feeling in opposition to tinkering the
Judiciary; and as to s'charter breaking" it is
not thought or dreamt of. There is scarcely
an individual in the Convention who is now
willing to bring forward any proposition in ac-
cordance with the doctrines of Mr. Dallas ia
nous tter-Charters, and vested rights are
likely to remain just as secure in this State, as
If the national administration had taken no cor
rupt and tyrannical measures for their subver-
, sion. Although this body came together, divi-
ded by a strict party line, into two nearly e.
r,ol ,ort.aa and .iarfal Ito pfncarc hv close mar
ty votes, after party caucussing, yet it is now
almost certain that there will not be another
? party vote on any question whatever.

: TREAsuRy CrRcuLAR.--M Secretary
4 Woodbury. has addressed a circular TO the CASH
iers of the suspending banks, asking an expla-
# nation ofthe causes, &c. and notifying them
!. that no farther deposites of public money can
be made with them, if they have actually sus-
+, pended. The Secretary informs them that he
will draw out the funds deposited with them
by warrants and transfers, reasonablein amount
and time of payment-which it is expected
that the banks will meet in a satisfactory man
ner-among other reasons, to " exoncrate them
d selves from injurious, inevitable, and unpleas
ant consequences.-The following queries arr
e propounded for an early answer:
y LIST. Whether you expect to resume speci'
payment soon, and what mode you propose 4
take fully and seasonably to indemnify, secure
and satisfy the government and the publ
i. creditors for any breach of your agreement an
bond!
IN ID. Whether, il you do not expect TO re
re- sumo specie payments soon, any particular TIM
for il hereafter has yet been decided on, an
: what special efforts or arrangements you inten'
: to make for that very important object!
