GRAFTON, Va, October 2S, 1861.
The E,Iitors of HE D1fTy presss
The Oxford intelligencer., 1861-03-13
The African Slaye-Tradc.

The Provisional Congress of the Confederate
States has passed law to prohibit the African
slavc-tradc. Coolies are also embraced in its
provisions. 1t is not declared to be pratical, as
under the laws of England and the United States,
but is punished by fine and imprisonment and
by the forfeiture of the vessel employed, with
her lading, apparel and furniture. The impris-
onment may be from ten to twenty years and
the fine from 81, 900 to $1,000. The importa-
ton of each negrD is to con ,titutc separate of
fence. Forf lures are to 90, one half to the in
former and the other half to the Confedcracy.-
All who SELL purchase conceal, or aid and as
sst in concealing or removing negroes Illegally
imported, are to be fined from 81 900 to $1,000
in each case.
The negroes importe contrary to the act are
to be arrested by the Marshals of the Confeder-
ate States who are to notify the President of the
! capture. If the offending vessel cleared from
port of any Of the United States, :" the Pres-
dent shall as soon as possible communicate with
the Governor of each State, and offer to deliver
such negroes to the said State upon receiving
guaranty from such State that the said negroes
shall enjoy the rights and privileges Of frcemcn
in such State or in any State in the United
States, or that said negroes shlll be transported
to Africa and there placed at liberty, free of cx-
pense to the Government of the Confcdcracy."
If this proposition be rejected, or if the vessel
did not clear from port Of the United States,
the President may deliver the negroes to any
responsible person or society who will furnish
satisfactory guaranty for transporting them to
Africa and there placing them at liberty, free of
cost to our Government If no proposal isl made,
within reasonable time, to secure the freedom
of the negroes, in the United States or Africa,
they are to be sold as slaves to the highest bid
der, and the proceeds of the sale, after deduct
ing all costs and expenses are to be equally d.
vided between the informcr and the Govern
ment
1t is stated, in some of the journals of the day,
that the law was vetoed by President Davis, and
that it was then passed over his veto. We are
not advised of the grounds of the veto.
The Black Republicans will raise a howl, no
doubt, over the provisions of the new statute.
They will object especially, to that feature of it
which contemplates practical test of their re-
gard for the negro. The United States last year
paid nearly million of dollars for sending re-
captured negroes back to Africa, there to be
made slaves of 1t would have been a far more
humane policy to have made slaves of them
here, and the money that has been thrown away
might then have been saved for useful purposes.
