SLAVERY IN New MExIco.-Washingtou
April 8.-The facts in regard to slavery in New
Mexico furnish the most conclusive reason nos
sible to be adduced in favor of the attitude
which the Republican party has assumed, and
is compelled to maintain on the subject of sla-
very in the territories. | will briefly narrate
the facts:
In the summer of 1857, Hon. Abraham Rem,
cher, of North Carolina, was appointed Gov
ernor of New Mexico. He was and is the
President of a mining company. He took out
with him number, believe from seven to
twelve negro slaves. The intention was, as l
then supposed, and caused to be published in
the newspapers, to work these slaves in the
mines of the company, and to hold them IN
the territory as nucleus around which the in
stitution might cluster its safeguards and set
up its defence against opposition. This design
has fully succeeded Gov. Rencher has used
all his influence to make that free territory
servile colony. Army officers brought in other
negro slaves An active trade was established
with the wild, marauding tribes of Indians, who
brought in captiyes taken from the MeXlcans
and other Indians, and sold them to the Amer
leans as slaves, and they are now held as such.
The number of negro, Mexican, and Indian
slaves in New Mexico, thus acquired, is esti-
mated at about $50. The character of the men
who in this manner established an american
institution in New Mexico, and the influence
which their policy has already begun to exert,
may be inferred from the privately stated
cause of the late devastating and most barbar-
GUS war waged against the Pueblo Indians by
our army, without any other authority than
the caprice of the Officers That infamous in
dividual "Col. Brooks's boy" was negro
slave, a gallant, gay Lothario," who seduced
an Indian frail one, and was thereupon slain
by her husband, precisely as the late Hon.
District Attorney here was slain by the Hon.
Daniel E. Sickles.
The tribe to which the vengeful husband be-
longed has been nearly exterminated, because
they firmly refused to surrender up the out
ragged husband, who had thus taken the COM
mon law of civilization and barbarism into his
own hands.
1t is pretended that this adoption of slavery
by the New Mexican Legislature, under the
Governors dictation, is fair result of popular
sovereignty 1t is, in truth, great violation
of it, because it is simply the registration of
decree from Washington, issued to slavehold-
ing officials by slavery extending Admins
tration. The people of New Mexico are OPP
posed, ten to one, one hundred to one, to slave
ry in any form, and the first Legislature which
assemblies free to act IN the premises, will unan-
mously repeal the edicts of the propaganda

ST. LOUIS.

In the first commercial city of the slave
States, against obstacles which, if they existed
in Massachusetts,, would be considered wholly
disheartening and hopeless, there has risen
courageous auti-slavery party, which, in di-
rect and manly contest with the slave interest
has triumphantly overthrow it. In the bril-
liant succession of Republican victories gained
during the present season, there has been none
more significant and encouraging than this
1t is the testimony of slaveholding communi-
ty to the wisdom, the justice and the economy
of the policy which the Republican party in
augurated in 1885, and will consummate before
its mission is ended.
The growth of healthy and vigorous politi.
cal sentiment on the Eastern border of Nilsson
ri, the great Western thoroughfare of trade
ence over that whole fruitful and promising
section. Tourists and traders will carry the
infection into the interior. Steamers will bear
it downward toward the gulf The evidences
of thrift and prosperity, of the growth of popu-
lation, the increase in the productiveness, and
consequently in the value of lands and all 9TH
er property, which follow the application of
free sentiments, will be invincible where ap-
peals to common humanity would be power
less.
There is feature of this free labor triumph
in st. Louis which is worthy for us to notice.
"All nationalities participated in the victory of
yesterday" said the St. Louis Democrat on
the day following the election. "Of the Free
Democratic German press" it continues
powerful in influence and talent--we can
only say that never before did it give more
emphatic expression or more pointed direction
to the sentiments of the German population of
st. Louis" 1t has been popular for us to
legislate against the foreign vote" as a mere
political expedient That expedient which we
are even now preparing to graft upon the Con-
stitution, whatever may be its effect in Massa-
husetts, can only prove grave national disas-
ter. The injury will be felt most deeply
where the Republican party can afford to
sacrifice the least. The advocates of free
principles in Missouri, yet without any
stable or well-defned organization, struggling
for life against the influences of education,
social and domestic habits, and institutions
whose very shadow hangs over them, would
be wholly powerless, without the cordial and
willing support of that very class of voters
whom we are preparing to prescribe and OPP
press. Would that the voice of the liberty
loving foreigners of the West could be heard
ture upon the untimely and unnecessary raid
of prescription recommended to the people by
the two last Legislatures.

RATS IN THE PITTsBURG JAIL.-The Pitts
burg True News notices the demise of man
named kraus, in the county JAIL from debility,
the result of long continued disease. Ar
engagements were made to send him to the
Hospital, but the Jail physician thought the de-
ceased too weak to be removed, and he was
permitted to remain in his CELL At / O'Clock
in the morning Kraus fell into quiet slumber,
and at 3, when next seen alive by his cell
mates, he was still asleep. Shortly before s,
however, he was examined, and not only was
life extinct but, horrible to relate, the rats had
devoured the greater part of the unfortunate
mans face, rendering his recognition barely
possible.
The prison has for years been annoyed with
these obnoxious vermin. The first floor and
yards swarm with the voracious creatures nor
can the dogs, which are kept constantly about
the place, nor the poison, so frequently distrib-
uted for their use, Danish them They find
their way into the cells along the pipes, and
though every thing has bee1 done to keep
them out, they still manage to get inside, TO
the great annoyance of the jailor, and still
greater annoyance of his prisoners. The Jail
is sort of Sebastopol, under cover of which
the rats set the snares laid for their destruc-
ton at defiance.
We conversed with some of the prisoners
to-day, and they assure us that, however disa-
greeable their presence, they are harmless as
far as attacking their persons at night is con-
cerned. One individual informed US that they
were as "big as sheep" and ran over their
bodies while in bed, by the dozen at time,
without ever attempting to bite them. When
life has passed away, however, it is different
they then attack the dead body with their well
known voracity, and in few minutes the ex-
posed parts of it are deyoured. 1t is horri-
BILE thing to have such noisome creatures for
cell-mates, but how is the evil to be avoided,
so long as we have prison and people to
tenant it?

THAT ARMSTRONG GUN the British have got
hold Of is roarer. A 80 FOUNDER, with a
charge of five pounds of powder, attained a
range of over Jiye miles and a quarter, and could
hit an object at 1000 yards every shot, which
an ordinary gun could only hit once in fifty
seven times; while at 1900 yards its accuracy
was as seven to one compared with that of
common artillery at 1000 yards. AS to its
durability, the gun was fired 300 times with
out the slightest injurious effect. If we have
said anything that has offended Mrs. Victoria,
we humbly ask her pardon, and will make any
apology required, if she will only keep her
Armstrong plaything at home. But should she
prove relentless, we shall borrow Louis Napo-
Icons rifle cannon for defence. That, at 1858
yards, (neary two miles, can strike single
man on horseback, and at that distance would
destroy body of cavalry or infantry. So, eff
worst comes to worst" look out for your
babies, madam BOSTON Post.
