EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS.

The American people will learn with aston.
ishmcni. from the recent disclosures mado hy
the Administration. on the call OF the House
OF Representatives, Of their proceedings IN re-
lsiion 10 the Africans ofiho hmistad. tina, the
District Attorney II the United States for the
District Of Now Yoik, was actually desired by
the President io put himself in communica-
lion with Run and Montcz, who were arcs
ted on private suits for damages, brought by
the victims Of their oppression, CInquez and
oibcrs, before the State tribunals OF New
York, "and to offer them his advice, and his

might be proper for them to take 10 obtain

Ruiz, Of the advice and assistance Of the Dis
tnct Attorney, Is declared 10y Mr.. FORSYTH;
the Secretary of State, to be a 'fayor-an
cniirciy gratuitous onc-since II was not the
province Of the United States to interfere in
a private legation between subjects Of a for
eign State let il be remembered that in
relation TO the plaintiffs in the suits in which
the President Of the United States, rcprsen-
ting the American People, is thus g%Tafni0us-
" proilcring aid TO Ruiz & Montez, the fol-
lowing facts have been iudiCiously found by
The District Court, viz:-That they and each
OF lltm are natives OF Africa, ana were porn
free, and ercr since hare been, and still of
right are free, and not slaves; that they were
never domicilcd in the island of Cuba, or in
the dominions of the Queen of Spain, or sub
icct to the laws lhereof;-ihat they were Ind
mapped in their native country, and were, an
rotation Of their o,cn rights and The lars Of
SPAN prohibiting the African slaves trade,
imported into the island OF Cuba about the
10th of June, 1898, and were there uniarfuHy
held and transmitted to Ruiz and Montez, and
were within Is days after their arrival in
Cuba, put on board the Amistad, TO be trans
ported TO some port in.tnei sland of Cuba, and
their unidicfui held as sidues.' And yet the
Government of the United Siates-a Govern
ment pledged by the treaty Of Client to use
their best endeavors to promote the entire
| abolition of the slave trade, which is declar-
ed by the treaty to be ~irreconcilable with all
the principles of humanity and justice-is
volunteering its aid in behalf Of the slave
traders, and using its powers and influence to
rivet still closer the chains of their victims.
And as if this was not enough TO maitest the
sympathy of the Government for the slave
traders, the United States schooner Granpus
was actually despatched to New Haven, by
order of the President, in anticipation of the
decree of the District Judge, with a warrant
to the marshal 10 deliver over the Africans to
Lieut.. Pain for the purpose Of being transpor.
ted in a national vessel to Cuba.-This war
rant was dated the 18th of Jan. 1910. and sign
ed by the President himself.

Congressional Humor.--Mr Profit Of In
diana, in speaking of certain hobbies used 10y
the adminisiratio party to gain popularity In
the West, played thus humorously with his
own name;
Il, sir always told the people that they were
duped. / prophesied that these golden prom
ises would fail: and sir, ! have a right to
prophesy; for | am not only a Profit but the
son of a Profit
In reply TO his colleague, who had intro
duced the subject of the Florida war in his
speech and who spoke of having seen the
SCARED soldiers returning from this mighty
war, Mr. Profit humorously says:
'As to the SCARED and war worn soldiers

in most exquisite taste, with proiusions OF
beautifully arranged ringlets hanging on their

white kid gloves and massive rings on the

Mr. Speaker, my establishment was somewhat

company of volunteers engaged IN this war
charged the Government with Colonge water
and Windsor soap, and choice wines &c; and
it may be upon examin alton, that we find sun
dry cosmetics, almon posts, &C., to preserve
the complexion from injury.
'And now, Mr. Speaker, ! will, for the bene-
fit ofmy colleague, who is so anxious to hear
himself talk about the globes of the Florida
war. give the House some further Information

have determined 10 change their weapons and
TO fight them with dogs.-CatedOn'a.
