A WARNlNe.-Th Wheeling Intelligencer
of June 9Th, says;
If any one wants to see what secession will
do for Western Virginia community, let
him go TO Phillirpi and the adjacent country
and see what it has done for that section. 1t
has paralyzed all that region 1t has invited
the arms of the Government and the desola
ting tramp of the soldiery. 1t has stopped
the plow in the furrow-the hoe around the
corn hills, and all the busy details of agricul
ture. 1t has driven an nffrighted people
from their homes for fear OF their lives, and
their houses are tenanted by troops sent
among them to put down rebellion. The
town Of Phillippi is almost a waste. Every
little industry about the place has stopped,
and nine-tenths of the people have gone
no one knows where. Many, if not most of
the inha bitants had voted The secession tick

they would either he hung or shot for so do
ing. 50 they fled The Union men had fled
from the secession soldiery some days before,
aad now The secessionists in their turn have
fed from the Government soldery. And
thus the town and much of the county round
about, bears deserted look. There is no

PRESIDENTIAL AUTHo2ITY.-I the war OF
1919, the construction of the Act of 1875
became the subject of judicial determination.
The question of authority Of the President
to call for volunteers. of Governors to refuse
and privates to rebel came before the Su-
preme Court of the United States John
Marshall and Bushrod Washington, of Vir,
gina VIM. johnson, OF South Carolina, Ga
brirl Duval, of Maryland, Robert Trimball
of Kentucky, Joseph Story, of Massachusetts
and Smith Thompson, of New York, were on
the Bench. They decided the point in these
words:
Is the President the sole and exclusive
Judge whether the exigency has arisen, or is
it to be considered an open question. upon
which every officer to whom the orders OF
the President are addressed may decide for
himself, and equally open to be contested by
every militia man whe ehaH refuse to obey
the orders of the President? We are oil OF
the opinion that the authority to decide aohether
the erigency has arisen belongs exclusively to
the President, d,dMatkiS deciStoR as coHci7tsjre
upon all other PERSONS We think that this
construction necessarily results from the ma
ture of the power itself. and from the mani
fest object contemplated by the Act of Con-
gress."

LABOR AND WAGES IN EsMERALDA.-An Es-
meralda letter writer says, ia the Morning
Call:
To laboring men, or others of limited
means, 1t seems to me this country offers no
great inducements at present The owners
of claims being without money, cannot pay
wages to have them prospected, their custom
being to give certain interests in them for
that purpose. In some cases, little money
is given, enough, perhaps to buy tools and
powder, or even pay board; not often can
greater amount OF cash be obtained for pros
pectiug a claim than will meet these ex-
penses, though the work may require months
for its performance.
The following are about the wages paid
when work can be obtained: Drifting in
tunnels, 81 per day, without board; other
kinds of mining, So; by the month. forty to
fifty dollars, with board About the same is
paid for hands for numbering, brick-making,
stone quarrying, etc, and scarcely so much
for other kinds of business. The lumber
trade here is extensive, and employs a good
many hands. Five sa mills are constantly
kept running, and others are about to built.
These, with the quartz mills soon to go up,
must create IA demand for mllwrights and
carpenters, who receive about one fourth
higher wa-es here than in California. With
a number of quartz mills in operation, "A
good business might be found in cutting fire.
wood, there being plenty of pine timber
suitable for that purpose in the country.
This would also stimulate many other kinds
of business, especially mining. yet as il is
uncertain how many of these establishments
we shall have here, or how soon they may
get running. it would hardly do for laboring
men to come here making calculations upon
them.

Tue SLAVE TRADE IN EASTERN AFRICA
The great fact and the great moral, social
and political feature of Eastern African life
is the slave trade All the tribes practice it.,
and none have any sense that it is an evil or
a sin. There is no distinction of persons, ages
or sexes in this traffic, and DO regard for hu-
man rights. The tribes sell TO each other,
and they sell to foreigners. Every caravan
to the coast carries this merchandise along
with its ivory. and leaves much Of it with
the tribes tn ougb which it passes. This is
the main object of the wars and this is the
sure result of the treaties. The strong make
slaves of the vanquished, and IN cases OF
needy the father makes slaves Of his Chi dren,
or the husband Of his wives. Emancipation
is obtai-eo in one Of two ways, either by the
fight of the slave or the neglect of the mas
ter The fidelity Of the slave population can
not lie counted upon, and their morals are
f fightful. They are exported from the coast
to the s!and of Zanzibar at the rate of ii O0C
annually, whence they are shipped to foreign
ports. The price of slaves in the markets OF
Zanzibar might well excite the cupidity OF
our western slave traders Prime boys.sell
! for from Sl2 to 500; and Young women re-
alize TO their owners from $50 to $40. They
pay dollar head Of duty when brought
from the interior, and two dollars head
when taken from the coast region.
In Capt Burton's forthcoming work on
Zanzibar We may expect more ample infor-
nation concerning this revGlting traffic; but
he has given enough already to show his es-
innate of its moral tendency 1t is the fixed
curse. which has thus far defied all the effo' t:
of Christian teaehers and all the precautions
of Gioclsading squadrons. Only distance from
the slaw consuming nations Of the Western
world prevents it from being teufold inereas.

tribes of East Africa in their degradation
