Slavery AMI Columbian College.

The communication which we publish be-
low, is from an authentic source, and speaks
for itself. We have here another addition to
that sentence of condemnation which, in the
view Of the civilized and Christian world,
American slavery is writing against itself,
and which must one day consign it forever to
the deep pit which its own hands are fast
digging.
Washington, Jan. 81, 1887.
MEssRs. EDIToRS.-It probably has reach
ed you through the press, that IN Columbian
College there has been great excitement for
the last few days. 1t arose from slavery,
and truly may we say, this is the mother of
evils and calamities wherever it exists. As
this affair will be spoken Of, written upon, in
all parts Of the country, It may be well 10
state the facts, and allow the community to
Judge a, they think proper. Capt. Haynes,
the stewart of Columbian College, brought
servants with him from Virginia ONE two or
3 years since. In the District of Columbia,
there is a law which binds every master to
register his servants. A violation of this
law subjects the master to severe penalty
Besides this, after a year and d day, the ser
wants become legally free.
This fact became known 10 two Of Capt.

w we nave drawn largely upon Cor
wins speech on the "Three Million Dill,'
for we thought our readers would be interest
ed in it. 1t is certainly an important docu-
ment-important, not so much because of the
truths it declares, for most of them are not
new to the people, but because of the effect
1t will have upon the politics and parties of
the country. The position taken by the ex-
Governor and Senator from Ohio is very far
in advance of that occupied by his party. 1t
will, however, be no difficult task for most
of the Northern Wings to move forward to
the point where he stands. The events Of
the last year have been preparing the way for
such movement-the public mind instead of
being shocked at what a twelvemonth since
1t would have denounced as unpatriotic and
even traitorous, receives it calmly, and seems
half disposed TO believe. We hail with Joy
every effort, the tendency of which is to OBJ
l~iterate party lines and weaken party letters
which goes to destroy the unity of either
political organization and this, we think,
Corwin's speech is calculated to do.
GRADUAL ABOLITION IN DGLAwARE.--The
Delaware House of Representatives has pas
sed a bill for the gradual abolition of slavery
in that State, and expectations are confident
ly expressed that the Senate will concur in it.
This is far better than no action, though a
gradual return to justice is not exactly the
best thing that can be done. If a man will
not Immediately cease robbing his neighbor's
granery of wheat, the stealing of a pint less
every night will by and bye very much re-
duce the losses of the plundered man, and
eventually destroy the business of the thief.
CONGRESS adjourned on Wednesday,
Washington has been called the national bear
garden, but if the following description of it
be true, as given in a recent debate by West
colt, a Democratic Senator from Florida, the
American government, the same which exists
by virtue of the American Union, is certain
ly one of the vilest combinations earth was
ever cursed with, and from which every man
who regards his character should flee as Lot
fled from Sodom.
"Sir, the people of these United States
have no idea of the gross, f~eculent, fostering
corruption that exists here they have no
conception of it. [Great sensation and close
attention, Sir, if the people of the United
States supposed there was a twentieth part
of the rotlenness and corruption that is to be
found here in this city of Washington, they
would in twenty-four hours assemble here
and pitch the whole government, the Presi-
dent, Heads Of Departments, both Houses OF
Congress, all, into the Potomac, and set up
a better, and they would do Tight.--[Much
merriment and sensation. !"

If man fail and it is utterly impossible for
him to meet his just demands what wrong
motives are imputed 10 him. He is looked
upon by many as rogue and villain and
is arrested as such. The TONGUE OF de-
traction has no end, and he is made TO feel
its poisonous fangs. "Here is a debt he
honorably contracted" will be remarked,
sand he will not pay il. He doesen't care
how much he owes as long as he gets a

from the liabilities they would feel more like
throwing the mantle Of charity over him

THE LATE JUDGE SroRY.-We extract
the following passage from Webster's late
argument before The supreme Court of the
United States, in the case OF the steamer
Lexington as reported in the Washington
National Era:
SIT is great truth, that England has never
produced any eminent writer on national or
general public laws, on elementary writer, who
has made this subject his own, who has brea-
thed his own breath into it, and made il
live. In English Judicature, Sir William
Scott has, il is true, done much 10 enlighten
The public mind upon the subject of prize
causes, &c, and in our day Mcintosh has
written paper of some merit, but where is
your English Grotius? Where is your En-
glish Barbeyrac? Has England Produced
one? Not one. The English mind has new
er been turned TO the discussion of general
public law. We must 60 TO the Continent
for The display Of genius in this department
of human knowledge. What have The courts
of Westminster Hall done, to illustrate the
principles of public law? With the except.
ion OF tract by Mansfield, Of considerable
merit, more great principles of public law
have been discussed and settled by This
Court, within the last twenty years, than in
all the common law courts of England for
the lasa hundred years! Nay, more impor-
tant subjects of law have been examined
aud passed upon by The bench. in series OF
twenty years, than in all Europe for century
past. And | cannot forbear 10 add, that
one in the midst OF you has lovored The world
with treatise on public law, ft 10 stand by
the side of Groiius, TO be the companion OF
the lnsiitules-a work that is now regarded
by the judicaiure of The world, as the great
book of the age-SIory's of Conflict Laws
