SIX YEARs IN AFRIoA--We would call the
attention Of our readers to an advertisement in
another column, Of Dr. Bartts Explorations
and Discoveries IN Northern and Central .4f-
ficd, This volume seems to come very oppor.
tuney at the present time, when so much is
said and written on the subject Of Slavery.
Dr. Barth travelled Sir Years in the 'wids
of Northern aud Central Africa, and was oblip-
ed to take an active part in the Slave Hunts of
the various savage tribes with whom he min.
gled and bis vivid descriptions of those hunts,
the Burning Of Viliages, the slaughter of a
part OF the Inhabitants aud the capture of 9th.
ers for slaves, forms altogether one of the most
thrilling as well as instructive books of modern
travel. Dr. Barth explored where no sCtite man
had eper eenJefore, and no one who wishes to
become familiar with the history of Africa, par
ticulary OF the portion where the ,StdUe Trade
IS carried on to its greatest extent, with all the
horrors incident to the traffic, should fail to read

CAss1Us NJ. CLAY IN KENTUcKY.-The polite
al speech of Cassius NJ. Clay on the capitol
steps at Frankfort Ky, on the 10th, just after
the adjournment of the state democratic con-
ventiop, was a great and bold effort Mr.. Clay
never trealed political topics with such clear
ness and power and he manifested all the FIRE
of his youthful eIoquence. He yindicated re-
publican principles and men Dol lily and without
shrinking, denounced the expulsion of anti
slavery men from Kentucky, the prescription Of
northern men at the South, aud the disuuiopism
OF the democratic party, and fixed upon that
party the responsibility for the agitation and
trouble now upon the South.

George w. Brown, editor of the late Kansas
Herald of Freedom, has got new trouble on
his hands. His "angel wife" that he said so
much about in bis paper during the bordsr-ruC-
fan disturbances, has sued for divorce for
adultery So he has not only sold himself to
Mr. Buchanan but to the devil also. The strug-
gle has been to see who could get the most out
of him. As bis paper has gone up, he will pro-
baby be of very little more service to Mr.. B.
so that the contract with Mr.. D. may be car
ried out at his leisure.

The National Executive Committee of
the Union league have resolve to issue a
proclamation in compliance with the pro-
vision of the Association, calling for Ma
tional Convention, to be held in New York
city, July 10TH 1860, for the purpose of con
sidering the probability of supporting any
one of the proposed candidates put in nomi-
ination by the several political parties, or
in case it is deemed inexpedient to support
any such candidate, then to nominate q
candidate, who will represent the opinions
expressed in the preamble and declaration of
principles Of the Union league.

WASHINGTON GossIP.-Since Mr. Sherman's
announcement on the floor of the House. that
he was ready to withdraw whenever an equal or
larger number of votes could be concentra-
ted upon any one else in opposition to the ad-
ministralion, the republicans have again canvas
sed the field, but do not find any one upon
whom they can unite with any better prospect
of success. Mr.. Hickman is still the favorite
in the event of a change, but the tenor of Wash
ton letters is that no change, even if any shall
be made will transpire at present
After the exposure on Thursday, of the Sc.
conspiracy Of some forty Of the southern demo-
Gratis to keep the House disorganized at all haz-
ards prevent the majority from either voting
on the plurality rule or electing republican
speaker, the republicans can better afford thar
ever TO remain quiet and calm, and wait for the
administration to "call off its dogs" The de-
velOpment Of this plot has made profound
sensation upon the public mind, and we predict
will soon force the administration not only to
disavow the act but TO insist on an organiza
tion'and cooperate in bringing one about,

The WORK GOES BRAvELY ON,-We have
news from Washington to the effect that the
President has ordered one hundred and fifteen
thousand improved muskets to be taken from
the arsenal at Springfield, Mass, and deposited
in Charleston, S. c., and other dsunion locali-
ties in the South. This work, report says, is TO
be carried TO a still greater extent Old Buck,
and his friends, too, as he approaches the end
of his tether, seem to be growing proportion
ately desperate.

FURTHER INYEsTIGATIoN.-The Tribune says
that it is understood to be the intention of some
of the Republicans, as soon as the House is Or
ganized, to move for Committee to inquire
whether there have been any recent violations
Of that clause Of the Constitution which pro-
vides that "'The citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all privileges and immunities of citi-
zens in the several States;" aud If SO, what ac-
ton, il any, of either department Of the FEEDER
al Government is necessary to punish past and
prevent future violations of this sort with
power to send for persons and papers.
This is called for by the violation of private
rights 10 the recent outrages which have been
perpetrated upon peaceable aud law-abiding
citizens OF the North, who happened to be
dwelling 10 the Southern States.
1t is also intimated that an inquiry may per.
haps be instituted into the recent mail robber,
les which have been committed by Government
Officials under the pretence of suppressing in,
ceDdiary publications and that if the facts
seem to demand it, an attempt may be made tc
punish the authors Of these gross crimes, ever
though it be necessary to resort to Impeachment
to accomplish the object.
These Investigations should go together will
that in regard to the Harpers Ferry raid, an,
be prosecuted with vigor. though some conser
Vativs minds might think that such wholesal
indiscriminate investigation might produce un
necessary agitation, and consequently increas
the jeopardy Of the Union.

TRADE ANN Policy wIrh Mk4Ico 1.-The fg-
ures show the different policies pursued by Eng
land and america, with Mexico, and afford
some very plain hints to guide ds ID our conclu.
sion as to the most honest and enlightened Of
Che two. While our democratic administrations
have been connecting various schemes to rob
Mexico Of territory, England has been saga
Clously aud steadiy at work cultvating com
mercia intercourse with that country, until its
foreign trade is nearly all in her hands. Our
present commerce with Mexico does not exceed
ninc million dollars per year, while that of Eng.
land is over thtty-three millions In 1885 our
commercial exchanges with Mexico we're up
wards Of twenty-millious, since which time our
trade has been declining and that Of Great
Britain increasing. The total annual imports
and exports of Mexico amount to about frty-
four millions, of which England has over half,
and the United States less than one SIXTH
These advantages England has secured by es-
tablishng regular lines Of steamers to the Mexi-
can ports which are partly sustained by the
government. England Is pursung the same
policy towards oil the South American govern
meuts aud is almost entirely taking their trade
away from us, and by her commercial connec-
tions is securing large political influence in oil
these countries. So that while we have been
reterating the dogma that European govern
ments must not be allowed to interfere with the
political affairs of this continent, we have al
lowed both the trade and political influence to
slip out of our hands.
This is one of the effects Of modelling down
all our ontions of governmental policy, dipo-
macy legislation and national comfy, to the
one idea of extending aud strengthening the
slave power-the stultifying and dwarfing ov-
erything to this narrow and selfish end.

THAT On~-Among the rumors of new oil
discoveries in Pennsylvania, there is one pre-
vailing at present to the effect that man NAM
ed Brewer, having bored somewhere in the
neighbOrhoOd Of brakes works, Titusvills, came
across spring which yields thirty gallons per
hour, and of purer quality than any yet discov-
cred. If this is true the proprietor has of course
found mine OF wealth.

New YoRK ERIE r. R.--The result OF the
seven years business from Sept. 80 1882 to
Sept. 30, 1853, is deficit Of $s25,76s 45. and
cOYredup by declaring false dividends. The
ansonnt squandsred during the seven years was
Sl,953265 So The business Of the road since
Jsne. 1857, shows deficit Of sl.552,4O4 ii,
and this without the declaration Of any divi-
dends. The worst period in the history Of the
road--ihat from 1857 TO the fall Of le59-was
when It was under the management Of Chsdss
Moran the great Railway relormeE The oDIy
thing he did for bis $4,000 year. was to sink
the road undsr bis charge, deeper 10 two years
than bis predecessors had done during the whole
time since the opening OF the line.

SENATORIAL SuBPGNAs.--Marshal Matt John

we suppose the Legislatures of Tennessee, Ken.

EXTENDED to the two former bodies, who we be-
lieve had been mellowing at Louisville, to meet
the Ohio Legislature at Columbus and the in
yitation was accepted, and they were to have
left Cincinnati for our capital on Thursday If
in this meeting, there is not some other dissolv-
ing besides that talked Of by the fire eaters of
Congress, VIC will henccforth lay no claim to
prophecy. The draught in about Columbus,
we fear, will be more serious than it was last
summer.
But seriously, this step Of the Governor will
add not a little to his popularity, and do more
to rebuke the insane folly Of the locofocos in
congress than any one that months cogtation
in any other direction could have hit upon

ing him from that position. The President per
