WENDELL W.. BUCHANAN.

The Herald, we apprehend, will find il great
deal easier to prove against Mr.. Wendell an at.
tempt TO u the susp cons OF the public by putting
forth false and delusre certificate, than it will to
free President Buchanan from the effects Of the
positive aud detailed testimony of the same Mr.
Wendell before the Investigating Committee on the
Executive printing.
The Herald publishes a series of extracts from
Mr. Wendells testimony, amounting, as everybody
must who reads them, and as that journal itself
admits, to positive assertion on the part of the
witness, accompanied with many details and par
ticusrs, that the profits of the Executive printing
were devoted, upon an understanding between him
self and the President, to the support of The
Union, subsequently The Constitution, the official
organ of the President and AZ a subsidy 10 two
other papers published in Philadelphia; and it also
thinks, ard we agree with it, that other parts of
Mr.. Wendel's testimony 90 to show that the Presi-
dent was prvy and cOnsentiDg TO the appropriation
of part of this money by Wendell to the sttemp.
to carry several Congressional districts for the
Democrats at the election of 1858.
As an offset to these distinct positive, and de-
tailed statements, given under oath in answer to
questions put, The Herald attempts to set up sort
of general volunteer denial which, al it seems this
Mr.. Wendell thought proper to put forth in pub
lshed card in December, 1858, of any expenditure
Of money on his part by any understanding with the
President, OF with his knowledge for electioneer-
ing purposes. This card, drawn out by a news-
paper charge duplicating the President, and with
which Wendsl bad been connected by public rumor,
The Herald attempts to offset against Wendells
sworn testimony. The very reasons urged for giving
preference 10 the statements contained In the card,
namely, that they were spontaneous and made in
general terms, while TIE testimony was the result of
an official inquiry, ought in all reason to have led
GA direct contrary conclusion. II is plain enough
that mere sweeping general denial such as every
'ulprit puts forth when charged with an OfEense,
ammo! stand against confession subsequently
made under oath, and with detail and specfca-
ion of particular facts. The issue of this card,
ontrasted with his statements before the Commit
Zee, is no doubt damaging and embarrassing cir.
umstsnce for Mr.. Wendell but so far as there is
any contradiction inconsistency between the two
it can hardly DO denied that the testimony under
oath must take precedence Of the volunteer certif
cate. The Herald objects 10 that testimony, that il
was qiyen in the course of all official inquiry 10
which Mr. Wendell was personally Interested. But

AFRICAN sLAvR.TRADE.

The deficiencies of our existing laws for the sup
preston of the African slaverade-at least accord
ing to the construction put upon them In this ana
other distIicts-haye long been notorious. In iact'
those laws have come to be regarded by the parties
concerned in this nefarious business, as little more
than mere JrutHn Juimen. Cases have repeatedly
occurred, n in the instance of the Orion, whose
officers were carried the other day into Boston, In
which vessels seized on the charge Of being fitted
out for the slaye-trade, afer being discharged by
The courts, have Immediately proceeded on
their voyage, and have been captured on
the coast of Africa, generally by British
cruisers, with cargoes Of slaves on board.
So great indeed, has been the facility, in the
first place. of evading any inquiry or examination
at all; and, in the next place, in case Of seizure or
capture, of escaping on the ground Of insufficient
proof, that New-YOrk has become fayorte place
for fitting cut vessels for this trade, and the flag of
the United States the chosen and almost exclusive
cover under which ii is now conducted.
Senator Wilson, we are glad to see, has intro
duced a bill into the Senate which, if it becomes
law, will 20 far to put stop to these dissraceful
abuses. Beside providing for the building of YES
sells ct for service on the African coast it proposes
to stimulate the activity of the crews by increasing
the prize money now allowed for the capture OF
slayers from twenty-five to one hundred dollars.
To provide for the case of slaves from Africa actu-
ally landed on our own shores, it allows an equal
reward for their seizure and delivery to the Marshal
of the District 1t also puts the fitting out or
ownership of vessels engaged in the slave-tfade
on the same level With the actual embsrka-
ton of slaves, though the punishment, with
view to facilitating convictions, is changed
from death to imprisonment for life. 1t
contains also a clause designed to prevent and
punish the display of the American flag by others
than duly registered American vessels-a device
now constantly resorted to, under General Casss
auspices, by every savetradiDg vessel of whatever
nation, when pursued by British cruisers. Another
very important provision makes it necessary for
every weasel fitted out for the African coast, to re-
port herself before clearing to the DistrictAttOrney
for examination. Another important provision is
that no American vessel sold abroad shall proceed
to the coast of Africa without first returning to the
United States for a new register.
We trust this bill will be vigorously pressed
through Congress. Indeed, we do not see how it
can be opposed except on the ground of abandoning
he whole policy Of the suppression of the slave
rade.

STUDY WITH LABOR.

We very often receive letters soliciting certain in
formation regarding the location aud characteristics
OF Manual Labor Schools or Seminaries-informa
ton that We are seldom able to give. Having re-
Gently heard casually of such a seminary in Iowa,
wrote for an account of it, which was kindly fur
nished Being too long for our columns. we con-
dense it, as follows:
WESTERN COLLEGE is the nucleus Of the little
village of Western, Linn County, Iowa, eight miles
from Cedar Rapids aud sixteen from Iowa City
1t as located in 1885, in advance Of settlement on
tract of two hundred acres of prairie land, with
quarter. section Of adjacent prairie for a college
farm, and one hundred and twenty acres of timber
some four miles distant A primary building 81 by
sc feet and three stories high was erected that year.
at q coat of $4,000, and the college opened Jan.
lst, 1857, with principal professor, and thirty
students.
We need not trace its history through the three
subsequent year,. II is well known that '57 and
56 were the worst years for crops experienced
in Iowa. and these, with the resulting pecuniary
embarrsssn ents Of the entire community bore very
hard on the new enterprise, Still, though heavily
in debt and ,eriously crippled by want of means, it
has gone steadily forward, and has now President
(the Rev. S. Weaver), three professors (salary
$550each per annum for forty four weeks teaching),
publishes = little monthly ("The Western College
Advocate y, and has partly erected a spacious
boarding house for female students, who have
hitherto been few because no suitable accommOda-
tons were provided for them. There were l37
male and but 20 female pupils in 1882 All teach
ers and Students are now required to perform
some manual labor daily. Students receive eight
cents per hour for farm labor and ten cents per
hour for carpenter work. Board SO per week;
room, so cents per month; wood 81 per cord. 1t
has not yet been practicable to pay for labor other
wise than in tuition, &c. The trustees value the
total present property and Assets Of the college at
$4,000, while its debts are but $4,000. But we
need not roy that they stratened every way for
means, and that the manual labor principle can be
but imperiectly respected while thus crippled. They
need at least 25, 900 TO enable them to make their
institution even approximate what it aims to be
and should be. Yet their baance-sbeet for 1859
shows an aggregate product of 1896 from their
farm during that year, including 1000 bushels of
first rate corn, while the total cost of the labor be-
slowed thereon, including the agents salary was
but $685.. A fine young Nursery, with dorm.
tory for boys, and some other buildings are among
the evidences of steady growth under circumstances
in many respects di,couraging.
Should any one desire more specific information,
he may probaby obtain it, as We did, Of the Rev. g.
Weaver or q. Brisg, esq, BY addressing either Of
them o. aforesaid.

In the House of Representatives at Washington,
yesterday the question of calling into the field the
mounted volunteers Of Texas to protect the white
inhabitants from the depredations of the Indians
was under debate. Dir. Stanton of Ohio urged
that action be taken upon the subject, as disturb
ances similar to those complained Of in Texas are
occurring also in Washington Territory and Calfor-
MIS- 1t is alleged that the Federal troops are not
calculated for this Indian warfare. If this be true
the proper way would seem to be either 10 m AXE
them sufficient by Iproper training, or withdraw
them altogether and supply their place bya mounted
patrol The frontier settlements should unquss-
tiOnably be protected, but it can hardly be neces
sary TO keep army there Ostensibly for that pur
pose, and engage local troops to do the work. The
proposition Of Mr. BOnham Of South Carolina to
give the House a vacation that they may lend their
aid to the representatives of the people in choosing
Presidential candidates, we are glad to see meets
with little favor on the Republican side of the
House. The country will excuse members of Con
sress from this service, to remain in Washington
and attend to their own business.
