Abolition of Slavery In the District.
Especial to New York Tsibune]

WASHINGTON, April 4. 1862.
Twenty-nine United State Senators voted
to-day to strike off the shack1ts Of the Slaves
in the District of Columbia Fourteen only
resisted the measure Of freedom Mr.. Cowan
Of PENNSYLVANIA did not vote, and probably
voted nay. Mr. Pearce Of Maryland was ab-
sent. 4 most important amendment moved
by 1Ir. Clark OF New Hampshire had been
previously adopted, providing that no one
who has aided the rebellion shall receive any
Of the compensation provided by this bill. Il
the slaves Of the District will be light indeed.
Every claimant Of compensation must mike
cath that he has not aided the rebellion, but
his oath will not be conclusive. Another
amendment was adopted providing that, in
taking testimony before the Commissioner:
cIuded By reason Of color. An amendment
was also adopted appropriasing *l0o, 900 to ait
the voluntary emigration Of the uaanutnittet
slaves to Hayti, Liberia, or elsewhere.
A petition was before the Senate before tht
yot= WIS taken for the abolition Of slavery
within the District, signed by 1000 Of its citi
zen :, including Judges, and Mayors and ex
Ma,o Aldermen aud e1-aldermen tn,
bill, as finally passed, provides for compensa
tion not exceeding m average Of $500 for eac!
slaye, and for voluntary colonization. As tn
bill provides that "all persons held to service
or lahor within the District Of Columbia, b,
reason Of Afrcan descent, are hereby dis
I charged and freed Of and from such service o

through the House and its approval By ii

BOARD or THA ADE ELECTI0N,

On Monday next the election Of officers
OF the Board Of Trade for the ensuing year
takes place. There have been two tickets
nominated, and it is not improbable that
two or thrcc more will be gotten up before
the voting commences That !" good men
and true" will be elected, We have not
doubt But it is possible that the mem
bers Of the Board Of Trade in their prefer
cnccs for individuals, may overlook the
great importance which attaches to the
election Of the officers at This particular pc
1iod; and we would respectfully call to
their mind the fuct that the Board Of Trade
are the guardians Of more property than is
entrusted to any o!her association in tho
United States. There is scarcely a farmer
OF stock-groweE in Illinois, Iowa, OF South
e1n Wisconsin but sends more OF less Of
his products to this market; and each one
Of these is interested in the Board Of Trade.
The recent developments with regard to
the frauds in warcl,ousing-the tampering
with our excellent system OF inspection by
men whose lore Of pelf and 1ucre is great

cheating and bedeviling that has prevailed
10 most enormous extent during the past
Two years, with the grain sent to this city
all these must bc met by the officers 10
tc elected Oh Monday next; and it is need
less to slatpw important it is that men
OF character and nerve be ehosen-lncn
who viii not be afraid to protect the inter
csts Of their customers and the public
without fear OF fayor-men who will sa
crcdly fvel the Importance Of thail
duties. and who will rigidly at
tend 10 them, even though it b.
at the peril Of offending the ric1
4nd wealthy, who have profted by fraud
be they who they may. At no preg1ou
period Of OUT history, as 8 commercial
