Three bills for the abolition of slavery
were introduced in the House of the Terri
torial Legislature on the 18th inst-one by
Mr.. Branscombe, of Douglas county; an
other by Mr.. Wright, of Leavenworth coun-
ty; and the third by Mr.. Canniff, of Doug
las. The day was occupied in discussing
the relative merits of the bills. Messrs
Bailey, Danford, Mitchell, and Gov. Roberts
favored the one introduced By Mr.. Brans-
comb. It provided for the immediate pro-
hibition of slavery. But some of the mem
bers. including the Speaker, wished to be 9
little more lenient towards the shareholders,
giving the masters time to take their slaves
out of the Territory, etc. Tt was finally re-
ferred to committee, consisting of Messrs
Branscombe, Bailey and Allison. 1t was
thought the Branscome bill would be re-
ported with some amendments. Hope il
will pass.

TEE en- GOLD MINES. J.

From the Los Angeles Star, December 4. -
From John Senter. Esq, of San Fracisco,
who arrived here from the Gila river gold
mines, We have recent and reliable informa-
ton respecting the prospects of the miners
in that locality. As has been already sta
ted, the auriferous deposits are found about
fifteen miles above Fort Yuma, on the Gila
river. The G lila is aslow, sluggish stream,
not running more than from two to two and
a half miles an hour, the banks being at
least fifteen feet above the river. From the
river, a fiat extends to bluffs about one half
or three quarters of mile distant, and in
this fiat the gold is found. It is apparent,
is water. Yet with the disadvantages un-
der which the miners labor, we believe they
are doing well. The ground is rich; twelve
bags of dirt paid $500. Judge Sacket' who
is there, went TO place which had been
abandoned, and scraping up little dirt with
his knife, cleaned it and obtained 81 for
his trouble. There are about twenty per-
sons at work.
There are two ways of bringing water on
the mining ground. By lifting it up with
steam pumps and throwing It directly on
the claims. or by cutting ditch and bring
ing II along the SIDE OF the DlunS. The
formation of the land end the fiat, low bed
of the river render the latter project difficult
of accomplishment, and very expensive,
while the former is cheap and expeditions.
Until either dian is adopted, and the water
brought upon the mining ground, but little
can be realized from the present mode of
working, the dirt being carried so far to
water.
The extent of the mining ground is not
known. There is reason to suppose that it
extends for hundreds of miles. From an
exploration made by some parties there,
gold, silver and copper have been fonnd on
the banks of the Gila, 800 miles from the
mining ground, the valley presenting no
change in formation the whole way up.
Provisions and mining implements are
scarce, but large stocks of cooks are known
to be on the way to the mines by the way of
the Gulf and the Colorado.

The Slave Trade.

If the New York Journal of Commerce
may be credited in the matter, the recent
landing of cargo of African slaves in
Georgia, and the subseduent arrest of the
parties engaged in the business, has deep
er significance than is commonly supposed.
That paper states that the whole affair was
deliberately madees an experiment to test
the constitutionality of the United States
law against the slave trade" The case will
be carried up to the q. S. Supreme Court,
when that distinguished pro-slavery tribu-
nal will pass upon the legality of the traffic
which our forefathers were wont to denounce
as piracy. No one who is familiar with the
aninaus of the Supreme Courts decision in
the Dred Scott case, can doubt the result of
trial before this tribunal for the purpose OF
testing the constitutionality Of the African
slave trade. AL that is necessary to legal
ize this traffic is to alter the Dred Scott de-
cision in few slight particulars. The gen.
eral principle having been established to the
satisfaction of majority of the judges that
''slaves are property on the same footing
with all other property, and that negroes
have no rights which white men are bound
to respect, it only needs the form of anoth-
or decision to establish the African slave trade
upon legal footing. when it will at once
take place In onr commercial system, and
be industriously prosecuted.
Commissioner Rainey, who was sent by
our government to Liberia with the Echo
negroes. says that be met there the captain
OF British cruiser, who informed him how
many prizes he had taken since he had been
there, and what large sum of bounty mon
ey he had received in consequences, This
English captain remarked that he would
have made ten times the amount if it wae not
for the fact that nine out Of every ten Of the
vessels overhaulsd run up the American
flag. '.Your fsg," said the captain, s.has
become the egis under which the slave
trade is carried on" DR.. Rainey expresses
the opinion. from sll that he learned on the
coast, that the remark of the British captain.

Congress has inquired of the Post Mas
ter General what means can be adopted to
make that department of the Government
self-sustaining? The Post Master General
states that under the postage Law of 1845,
the revenues and expenditures were about
equal. Since the passage of the law of
1851, fixing the present rates, the expendi-
lures having been regularly and largely in
creasing, these facts obviously suggest that
if Congress is determined to make the de-
partment self-sustaining, the surest way of
doing so would be return to the law of
1845, and establish 5 cents postage for dis
tances under, and 10 cents for distances over
5000 miles. Hence he favors the bill in
troduced in the Senate at former session.
This, together with amendments which he
has already suggested, in regard to the mode
of inviting proposals for carrying the mail.
and the substitution of postage stamps for
the franking privilege. would render the
Department self-sustaining in what relates
to its regular and proper operations.

The Gold Discoveries---Politic Re
: f7- suits. z

The Gold DiscoYeries---Politi Re-
The discovery of gold about the head
waters Of the South Platte and Arkansas,
and the fact, now sufficiently established,
that the deposit of the precious metal may
be traced from Pixies Peak to the Sierra
San Juan, thence soutbwesterly to the Gila
and throughout the mountain ranges of So
nora, fixes the political complexion of all
the States which may hereafter be organized
out of our immense Western possessions.
The immigrants drifting thither win be
mainly from the Free States, and of that
class-the laborer, the small farmer, the me-
chanic-among which the dignity of toll is
sturdily upheld. Slavery viii not be known
or tolerated among them. They will not
encourage or permit it in the mines, and in
any governments which they may organize,
it will. unless the rule which has governed
emigration and settlement heretofore is re-
versed, be ignored or forbidden. Even the
Dred Scott decision will be imperative. In
country where all are equal, and all are
toilers, the claims of manhood are of quick
er recognition than in communities more ar
officially constructed; and Sambo, though
he may be black. woolly and ugly, will find
that his claims to liberty aud the right to
dig in any canon or gulch that suits him
best, and to have and enjoy the fruits of his
toll, will meet with cordial and almost uni
versal acknowledgement.
We look then for the extension of the cor
don of the Free States from Kansas, along
the line of the supposed gold discoveries,
indefinitely southwest, or, to fix point. to
the Gulf of California, and as low down
thereon as the Administration can buy OF
conquer territory. The food of population
once pointed in that direction from the Free
States viii suffer no check or diminution il
the promised inducements to emigration are
maintained. These are events which, though
now seemingly long way in the distance
will disappoint all in the quiekness of their
realization.-C Chicago Press and Tribune.

A BIT of fun occurred in the Legislature
q few days ago. Hugh s. Walsh. the Sec
retary of the Territory, had been guilty OF
divers indignities toward the members OF
that body. and they concluded to ".bring him
to his milk He had been requested to fur
nish the members with copies of the laws,
they being necessary for reference, in re-
yising the present code. This, Hugh re-
fused to do. sending in q few copies only.
They resolved to put up with his impadence
no longer, and our excellent member, Mr..
Bailey, offered resolution which was unan-
imously adopted, instructing the Sergeant
at-Arms to arrest said Hugh. and bring
him to the bar of the House to answer for
contempt. In company with Sheriff Walk
er, the Sergsant-at-Arms proceeded to the
Secretary's room to make the arrest. He
was politely informed of his arrest for con-
tempt, and that it would probably be policy
on his part 10 comply Immediately. AT
first he turned pale and plead sickness-then
he thought he was privileged from arrest
on civil process-next he swore he wouldn't
go no how-would shoot somebody before
he would submit, if he only had his revolv-
er. The officers kindly intimated that if he
made an attempt to shoot. the Territory OF
Kansas would soon be minus Secretary
Hugh finally ''caved," (" and accompanied the
officers to the bar of the House. After
questioning him and otherwise frightening
him so that he will probably have more re-
speet for the demands of the members in
future, they let him go. This will teach
the Insignificant Secretary that. although
clothed in little brief authority, he cannot
treat his superiors with silent contempt.
