AIsTRIKING PRACTICAL COMMEN-'
FARY ON AMERICAN SLAVERY.

The whole number Of Africans imported alto
rejher into the United States, is estimated
(Ays DeBow's ReDieac) by Mr.. Carey, Of Phila-
dllphia, on reliable data, at three hundred and
tlirty.three thousand. They haze increased to
der three millions. Suppose they had been
left in Africa under the tyranny of their
PETTY chiefs, the barbarous rites of their re-
Egion, the dangers to which they would have
been exposed, and the priyations and diseases
incident to their savage conditionI Instead of
increasing, in all probability, they would have
dwindled down to few hundreds, or entirely
disappeared. az 3'seaF a7
/ Slavery in the southern States presents a
happy contrast to slavery in the British West
Indies. OF the one million seven hundred thou
sand Africans imported there, but six hundred
and sixty thousand Of their descendants re-
main after the short lapse of two centuries.
If these facts do not convince the American
ana the English abolitiohists that the African
is happier, better, more contented and prosper
Gus in Southern seryitude than at home, then
are they stone blind q It is much to be doubted
il the Africans decrease under the most cruel
and rigorous system of slavery, as much as
they do at home. 1919.

that time engaged in a religious strife at
home. That strife consisted in the removal
of certain privileges enjoyed by the Italian
clergy, from which the government claimed
submission to common law, the seculariza-
ton Of property, and the institution Of civil
marriage. All these privileges, the relic Of
fendal times, the Piedmontese government
Justly resolved TO abolish. In that, it was sat.
isfying the desires Of its own people, and at
the same time complying with the wishes Of
the immense majority Of the people Of the
north and south Of Italy; the greatest por.
ton Of which were opposed to Catholic ideas
and Catholic power. There is no necessity to
disguise facts. The Italians are, and have been
for long time, fighting against the spiritual
and temporal power Of the Papacy. When the
Protestant propaganda was introduced, through
English channels, into their midst, they eagerly
grasped at it, in the name of liberal ideas, and
used that propaganda as an instrument Of
revolution. But though they accepted it as
an instrument, they rejected it as creed
Their hands were in il, but their hearts else.
where. The ardent breath Of the French phi
losophy had overturned in every sense the
Italian peninsula, filled the minds Of the peo-
pie with knowledge, and their hearts with
gratitude. To that philosophy they were In
debted for the REMOVAL of many abuses and
the faint glimpse of several liberties. Also, the
Italian people are, at the time we write, quite
as far from embracing Professionalism as reli-

PRIVATE CLAIMS. SENATOR BROD-
HEADS BILL.

The bill providing for commission to ad-
Just claims, which has been introduced into the
Senate by Senator Brodhead, seems TO meet
with general approval. The arguments in its ia
vor are strong and convincing. II would save
much valuable time that could be devoted to
the consideration Of matters Of 3 purely legis.
lative character. 1t would secure, what is
almost impossible in a large deliberatiye body
where thousand conflicting views prevail,
and where thousand important subjects have
to be entertained, discussed, and voted upon
and that is, careful and and a punctnal atten-
ton to claims. At the present time the
DELAYS, Inconvenience, and expense, to which
the parties interested are subjected; amount al
most TO q denial Of justice. The necessity the
pressing necessity, for achange, is universally
felt. 1t is believed that commission, with
no other business than that Of examining and
deciding on private claims, would be much
more efficient than such q body as Congress
can possibly be. Such a commission would
save vast expense to the country, much
trouble and delay y claimants, and relieve Con-
gress of perplsxing subject that interferes
greatly with its sther dnties. AS measure Of
economy, such board would, we doubt not, be
found highly peful, while to the honest and
suffering claipant it would be Of inestimable
advantage. M
We havehot had the opportunity Of examin-
ing Senator Brodhead's bin, but feel convinced
that, in Preparing it, he has exercised the good
judgment, caution, and business talents, for
whicbheis distinguished.
