This is done as follows: In multiplying by add
always the number next to the right Of the one
multiplied. Thus 7x9 are GO, set down 3; 7xs are
Sc, carry 6, 60, add 8, H. set down l. 7x7 are 40,
carry Z, Sc, add g. Ga, set down A; 7x6 A. carry G.
As, add Z, 90, set down 5. There now remains no
thing to multiply, so the carried and the to be
added make IL, which is set down. In practice
this mode is extremely simple-saves writing two
lines of figures and half the "carrying ."-Cor

INDIAN SLAVERY IN New MEXICO PRoHIBrTED.-
Gov. Rencher, in message to the Territorial Legs-
iature of New Mexico, Withholding his assent to a
bill for reducing Indians to slavery, said:
"Another act OF the Legislative Assembly which
could not approve was an act making the law for
the protection of slave property in this territory
applicable to male or female Indians that should
be acquired from barbarous nations The act
seemed to be based upon the suppostion that male
or female Indians acquired from barbarous nations
are slaves, which is not the case; nor is it within
the power of this Legislature to make them so-
The Legislature neither create nor abolish sla-
very. They can only regulate it where it already
exists, as any other species of property. IT, there
FORE any male or female Indians were in state of
slavery under the laws of Mexico, upon the cession
of this territory the United States the law above
referred to might be made applicable to such prop
erty. The normal or native condition of all our In
dian tribes is that OF freedom, and they cannot nm
der our laws be made slaves, either by conquest or
purchase. We may hold them as captves or poems
but not as slaves. When the territory shall be,
come sovereign State, she may, if she choose to
do so, exercise powers in this respect which she
cannot do as territorial legislature
