D1srR1cr OF CoLuMpIA.-As will be seen from
our sketch of proceedings in Congress- the question
of investigating the constutionality of slavery IN
the District of Columbia, has been broached, and
Nv the casting vote of the Speaker of the House, the
petition for having slavery abolished there is saved
for further discussion. In the Senate we regret TO
SAY, this subject has the go-by for the present. but
we noticed with pleasure that Messrs' Phelps ana
Upham stood by the right and by John p Hale in the
discharge of his duty If the question of the con-
stutionality of slavery in the District Of Columbus
can be thoroughly and candidly discussed in ethel
branch of our National Legislature, good will gro"
ont Of it, and will hasten the time when neither
s,overv nor the slave trade will be tolerated there

MORTALITY OF THIS CITY.-The number
of deaths in this city last year was 4121; in
1916, 3S89-an increase of 1872, or about %
per cent Should the increase in population
prove to be in the same ratio, the population
of the city would not fall far short OF 100000.
Much of the increase in mortality may be set
down to the increased sickness among lmml-
grants. The excess Of deaths in August over
August, 1916, was 90 in September l0o; in
October, 1888 in November, SO IN Deem
Der, Shrinking in five months, 572. The
number in each month varied from 23S In
March to 543 in August. Estimating the
population of the city at 100000, we have
mortality as one in thirty flour; at 10000,
one in thirty .two.-BoSton Wing.

CATACHISM FOR ROMANISTS AND
PROrESTANTS.

We have now in press and shall have ready
for publication. on MONDAY. a work with the
above title, By Mr.. JAMES MBuRNIE, OF this
city, Ii consists OF near an hundred and fifty
closely printed pages, aud being upon new
and beautiful ~ e and fine paper, it will fur
nish an attractive book, in appearance. But
it is not that OF which We wish TO speak-it
is Of It's contents. In religious tenets we, as
others, have our own op.ulons, aud one art-
Gle OF our creed iorbiis Us objecting to the
creed OF our ueighbor. We, therefore. could
not be induced 10 enter into a controversy
upon lhe subject, except for the amusement
OF leisure hour. There are others, however,
who think differently upon the subject, and
look upon belief Oh d%octriual points as mat
tiers oil paramount Importance. To such, OF
the Protestant faith, we could scarcely recon-
mend a book more worthy OF their attention
than this. 1t is truly "a work OF no common
order, presenting a closeness and strength oil
reasoning and "a deep aud thorough research
into and familiarity with the Scriptures, The
writings of the Fathers, aud the history oil the
Roman Catholic Church, that is equailed by
very few men IN any community. The sub
ject seems to have comprised almost The en-
tire study Of the authors lite, and he has
achieved perfect familiarity with it. In say
ing this much, however, we would not be uu-
derstood as endorsing the authors apprehen-
sions, opinions, and charges against the mem
bsrs OF that laith. We speak OF it as a work
of relereace aud logical deductions.

c. The present position OF political par
ties on both sides OF the house, seems to indi
cate ANYTHING but harmony until the conven-
tons shall meet and nominate the men who
are to be our standard bearers in We political
contest to be waged Tor the presidency. On
the one hand there are many who feel an hon
est hope and belief that Mr.. Clay could be E
lectej presidents at once say he ought 10 be
the candidate against all odds. While again
there are some who have nothing but their
mad passions to subserve, aud are determined
that the nomination OF Mr.. Clay is the first
duty of the people and the first principle OF
their creed. The great body OF the whig par
~, however. with those who have never been
actudted by p~artiz3n motives while they have
a high respect Tor, aud admiration Of Mr.. Clay,
and wouti delight to support him Tor the
presidency, know that TO nominate him for
the otiee would be to insure a total and EASY
defeat, which would throw our country a gain
into The hands OF the spoilers and the dies
troyers, aud perpetuaje The dynasty of drlvel-
ling demagogues. They therefore turn TO
Gen. Taylor as possessing all the qusliica-
tons for the discharge Of the duties of The
ofice-honesty, frmness, courage wing prin-
ciples, and to all adding an almost unbound
ed popularity among the people. They hon
estly believe that Gel. Taylor will and ought
10 be nominated By the conven,ion-that if
nominated, he can and will be elected.
This difference OF opinion has caused more
warmth Of feeling and animosityamong mem
bers of the same party than ought to exist,
particularly around Washington, where politi-
eians do congregate, and in the eastern cities.
where political leaders pay little regard TO
the views of the masses. This will be har-
monized when a national convention has
spoken, and the man has been selected, who
is to bear The standard OF freedom and wing
principles, aloit during the battle.
