number for this month contains several articles
connected with medical science, ofvaluc, together
with goncial miscellany, which shows that the

Dodge makes very good editor We had
thought likely that his keen sense of the ludi-

away with him but they do not. He has sense
and kindness enough to avoid the too common

A Motion to Improve Slavery.

The Southern Press, in long but feeble
article in defence Of the institution Of slave.
Try, admits that it has some incidental evils.
which gives color to such works as Jn
Gle Toms Cabin" aud the " White Slave"
and suggests one CT two Improvements.
Thus, il says;
The>outh has great moral conflict to wage
and it is for her to pat On the most nyuI,
nerabe moral panopIy Hence it is her,
duty as well rs interest to mitigate or re-.
move Whatever Of evil results incidentally
from the institution. The separation Of
husband aud wife, parent and child, is one
Of these evils which we know is gcRwa'M
avoided and repudiated there although
cases sometimes occur which we observe
are seized by these northern fanatics as
laracterstlc illustrations of the system
" Now. we cal see no great evil or in.
convenience, but mnct good, in The prohi
bition by law Of such occurrences. Let
the husband and wife be sold together, and
the parents aud minor children. Such a
a law would affect but slightly the general
value or availability Of slave property
and would prevent in some cases the yio-
ence done to the feelings of such conncc-
lions by sales, either compulsory or voun
tary We are satisfied that it would be
beneficial to master and slave to promote
marriage, and the observance Of ali It's du-
ties and relations,
" The question OF education is PERHAPS
still more difficult and delicate. But we
are decidedly Of the opinion that it would
be well to instruct all that prtion of the
slaves that are honest, faithful, and well dis.
posed. In ancient times white slaves were
educated in all branches Of learning, aud
seryIIe insuu ection was the least and rarest
OF evils Of states then An instructed slave
is certainly capable of rendering more
valuable service - his. mastee. and Of ex.
ercIslng, II he is faithful more sanitary
influence on the rps. 1t is true his knowl.
edge may be perverted but is that more
probable than thai ignorance can be per.
gerted or abused?"
Cor readers will note the reserve with
which 1t IS recommended that a husband
should not be torn away from his wife, and
that responsible human being should be
educated OF course, both questions are
subordinate to the question Of properly,
ana If the changes suggested should be
likely to interfere with the value of slaves
az chaileis, they must not be adopted, A
liberal movement certainly ~ T. Foe

DIRTY CITY DRTY cITYg

We have long hoped tina, the manga.
ment Of the City's affairs would become N
intolerable as to lead to revolution at TIA
polls, and The election Of honest and eff.
cient men to the Common Council and o,h.
err municipal Offices. It would seem As if
that state Of things were almost attained.
If the people of this metropolis require to
be more outrageously abused than now b.
their public servants, we will welcome the
infliction. But we hope they have alread,
got enough to produce change.
Not to speak Of other evils, we car truly
say that never within our rocollectios hsys
the streets been in so filthy state as a,
present. In Broadway, clouds of dus. con.
stantly fiji the air, smothering and blinius
every person on the sidewalks, and dam.
aging the wares exposed for sale in ii.
shops. 1t has been said that the spripk.
hing of that street is forbidden BY osd.
nance. but this is mistake. But wh,,
amount of sprinkling could lay the mass Of
pulverized earth there accumulated and a..
parently never removed p! In the other
streets where there is not dust, there /.
mud. In William-st., for instance, be-
tween Spruce and Frankfort, there is
is an average of foot's depth of black sad
fostering mud, which looks as if it had not
been disturbed for months. The streets os
the Fourth Ward generally are in SIM.
lar condition. Nor are they an exception.
Even in the Fifteenth Ward there are
streets in the most disgusting state. n.
Fifth-av. is only less dusty than Broad.
way. Heaps of decaying garbage are a.
lowed to remain, breeding disease and pre-
pairing for pestilence in the summer. Way
should it be otherwise 4! The great bus.
ness of member of the City Government
is to plumber the Treasury and levy con-
tributions on contractors, applicants for
Jobs. and all other parties that can be made
to pay. Let the public suffer. 1t was
made for it; it exists to that end; other.
wise what need of public at all Other
wise from what source could municipal
stealing be derived!
Such is the practical philosophy of our
CITY Government. When the people want
one of another kind they will probably find
ont how to get it.

TILE CONSTITUTION DHFIEp.

The Federal Constitution expressly and
emphatically provides that
"Thc citizens of each State shall be entitled 10 al
privileges and immunites oil citizens in the several
ststes."-Arf. W. Sec ?.
This requisition is Systematically, ostea-
tatiously, officially violated and de6ej, not
only IN certain States, but By them. Citi-
zens of Northern States visiting South
Carolina and some others at the South, are
habitually seized and cast into prison.
whence, if no one appears to vouch for and
redeem them, they may be sold into per-
petual Slavery. And the only excuse for
this is the fact that God made them black,
or of some other than the most popular
color.
Louisiana has long had law of this atro-
cious sort, which she has lately yaried--ws
can hardly say modifed--as is set forth in
the following paragraph from the Charls'-
ton Mercury:
THE Law REGARDING CoLoREp SEAMEN-Ts
Legislature of Louisiana, after full consideration u the
representations that have been addressed 10 them hve
repealed those provisions OF their law which provided
for the imprisonment of colored seamen from abroad
and have substituted for this provision allowing seh
land for their necessary duties with passports
from the Mayor We have not yet the statute s1A
cannot soy whether 1t applies TO colored iron
the North as well as from foreign countries In regr1
to the former, should be decidedly opposed
placing them the footing the latter EXCEPT
where they driven into our ports by ssres
weather But even In regard TO them, Il seems 70 q
that law ought TO be changed the principle OF o
Ind, md tocIo
from the North be orbiddsa to enter ports and h
their introduction subject the vessel 10 ne Of ot
ssnd dollars for every one, and we venture to say ws
should be troubled with the visits Of those pre-
cious "citzens of Massachusetts,"
THAT what is here proposed is directly
in the teeth of the Constitution, is clear at
a glance. The Black is a citizen of Rhode
Island, Vermont or Massachusetts precisely
as the White is entitled to vote and eligi-
bic to office. The man whom South Caro-
lima sells into eternal Slavery because
of his color might be Governor Of an
Eastern State if he could only get votes
enough.
THE Constitution must be observed :
cry host Fugitive Slaves must be re-
turned to their masters Well, Sirs, have
you no care for that part of the Constitu'
ton which favors Liberty as well as that
which covers Slavery! Is not the Liberty
of freeman as precious as the bondage d
Slave! Does not the Algerine Treatment
of Northern citizens at the South need ~
prevail as well as the escape of half dom
Slaves into Canada Is it Constitution
you really mean or only Cotton!

friend BArAnp FAVOR, who has returned 70 cai-
70 and writes US under date Of APrl2. Hams
been absent FIVE months in Central Africa, AMI has
Travelled more than four thousand miles there.
T,roupl,out his Journey he has been favored with
uninterrupted good health, and alt the fa'es have
smiled He SAYS the Egyptians in Cairo will hard
~ believe that he has passed unscathed throagh
Soudan. but his bronzed face is the best testimo-
nv ne can offer in lani where a mans word Is
the poorest proof of his assertions We have III
ready stated that Mr. TAYLOR penetrated 70 the
isIards of tbs ShlooSs upon the "hte we Ia
latitude 10 degrees north. Upon his return 70
Ebs,toum he remained only FIVE days, saw the
Sbc;lh Of the Shankoree Arabs, and native hins,
who were there on a visit. Thea he crossed the
Bsvooda Desert, by a route lit known, to Me-
roe. the site of the ancient capital OF tthiopia.-
Thence he advanced to Dongola, and from that
cit, to Wsdi Halfa at the second cataract OF the
Nile. and the extreme southern point OF the usual
Journey up the Nile. He reached this place IN 81
DAYS from Khartoum, having Travelled about SJo
miles in burning heat, the thermometer standing
st los degrees in the sh lde at noon, and ne Gu
countered two sand storms upon the way lie
de- nded the Nile thr ugh Nuba to the first cata-
ract, and thence rapidly to Cairo, stopping only at
the principal points. The letters descriptive OF
this journey have come to hand, and will be land
before our readers with all possible dispatch. Mr..
TAYLOR, who continues well, with the exception
of slight inflammation of the eyes, describes Gar
no as delightful at the time he wrote. The Franks
were absent and the gay season OF the Mussulnians
was just commencing. The weather was balmy'
although the nights were chilly when the mercury
fell below 20 degrees!
His tour will be extended through Syria to Mn
even and Asia Minor, and he will cont nue. to IN
form us Of what he sees in those lands where, to
Frank, everything is worth seeing.
