The first constitution Of Pennsylvania,
adopted in lTT6, declared all men to be
born equally free, and made no distinc.
tton as to the right Of franchise on the
ground of color. Four years later an act
for the gradual abolition of slavery was
passed. II provided that negroes and mu
lattoes born thereafter should not be held
as slaves for life but should remain as in
dentured servants until the age Of twenty
eight years. Owners were made liable for
the support of their slaves, unless the lat
ter were emanciPated before reuchiug that
age. Negroes were to be tried by the courts
like other persons; but in the event of one
being sentenced to death, his value was to
be settled by appraisment and the owner
paid the amount. None were to be held
as slaves except those "registered," or the
domestic attendant upon Congress from
other states, upon foreign minister, consuls
or other temporary sojourners. Provision
was also made against selling slaves out OF
the state, with view to avoid the opera-
ton of the law. The Inter regulations
were amended in 1888, by which slaves
brought into the state by persons intending
to reside permanently, were declared free
while none could be removed out of 1t
without their own consent, testified to by
two Justices. Vessels employed in the Af-
rican slave trade were made liable to for
feiture; and penalties were imposed upon
parties building vessels for it, Parents
and children, husbands and wives, being
servants for number Of years, could not
be separated more than ten miles.
In 1920, and 1926, acts were passed TO
prevent kidnapping, the crime being made
felony. A fine of $500 was also imposed
upon any person found guilty of bringing
a slave into Pennsylvania from any other
State and there offering him for sale.
The amended constitution, adopted in
1888, restricted the elective franchise to
white male citizens.
The law of ls46, to prevent kidnapping,
&C., re-enacted that of 1926, making Il
more stringent. Aldermen aud justices
were forbidden to act under the United
States law of 1893 for capturing fugitiyes;
and any attempt to carry off by force a fu-
gitiYe from service was made a misdcmean-
or. The prisons of the State were also for
oidden to be used for OBTAINING fugitive
slaves and that portion of the act of 1880
was repealed, which allowed owners to
bring into and retain in serVitude slaves
for period of si3 months The latter
were at the same TIME allowed to give tes-
timony in courts.

hope that the gallant here of Roanoke will
keep in the neighborhood of his gunboats,
whose fire can save him.
But even If Burnside escapes destruc-
tion, the retreat from Manassas changes
the character of the campaign very se-
rtously. The war, which should have
been finished in the cool and healthy iati-
tude Of Virginia, will now roll soutiward,
where the heats and malaria of summer
may do for our troops what the Russian
winter did for Napoleon in 1912.

THE DISTRICT OF coIuMBIA.

When the district OF Columbia passed
into possession of the General Govern
ment, that part of 1t ceded by Maryland
was doubtless slaveholding territory in
practice, as we'll as the rest Of the State
In 1870, the act passed by Congress "for
esta6lishingth the temporary and permanent
seat of the Government of the United
States" provided that the operation of the
laws of Maryland 'should not be affected
by this acceptance until the time fixed for
the removal of the government thereto, and
until Congress shall by law otherwise pro-
vide" As no provision for changing the
status Of the enslaved population hassince
been made, this would seem to render that
condition very clear. But it is not so.-
Maryland, in her Declaration of Rights,
adopted in 1915, asserted thatssthe inhab-
itants of Maryland are entitled to the COM
mon law OF England !" and we all know
what that common law then was, as ex-
pounded by Lord Mansfield Such as it
then was that State accepted 1t for her
'!inhabitantsn-not citizens, or even people,
be it observed. In connection with this, it
ought to be remembered that the State up
to 1890 had passed no law or regulation
whatever, enslaying any portion of her
"inhabitants." With the mere mention of
these facts we leave the reader to draw his
own inference as. to the legality of slave
holding in the federal district at the pres
ent moment. We may add that the law
admitting that portion of it received from
Virginia subsequently retroceded) was
passed IN l79l, and contained like pro-
vision.

RHODE ISLAND.

Rhode Island took her first step in the
same direction in 1878, when she pro-
claimed freedom to all slaves who would
enlist as soldiers. Many of them took ad-
vantage of this act and served with fideli-
ty. Next year slaves were prohibited from
being sold out of the State. In 1884 a
Law was passed for gradual abolition, de-
claring all children who should be born
after that date, free. This was modified
in part the next year; but the principal
features remained untouched In 1887
severe penalties were imposed on the for
efgn slave trade. The new constitution,
adopted in ls4s. provided expressly against
the longer existence of slavery iu the State;
yet it would seem that it still continued
for time, from the language of certain
clauses in acts relating to the support of
the poor. !7a

An act passed in 1879 establishedthe COM

CONNECTICUT. hor IS
A revision of the laws of Connecticut,
published in 1884, shows that the State
had then taken emancipation ground, in
theory at least. One act declaring who
shall be treemen, makes no distinction of
persons as to race or color. But slaves
were still held in that State.a WAu act
concerning Indian, mulatto and negro
slaves" has the following "And whereas
sound policy requires that the abolition of
slavery should be effected as soon as may
be consistent with the rights of individu-
ais and the public safety and welfare" II
was, therefore, enacted that no negro or
mulatto child, born after the lst of March
1884, should be held in servitude longer

years, but should thereupon become free
Subsequently the age was reduced four
years, aud the right TO emancipate at any
age between twenty-five and forty five was
granted. Strenuous laws were also passed
against the foreign slave trade. But the
revised Constitution, adopted in 1921, al
lowed masters to bring their slaves with
them into the State for permanent resi-
dence! 1t deserves mention that the laws
OF Connecticut on this subject were much
milder than in most of the other States
A slave was capable of holding property in
the character Of devisee or legatee, He
could also sue his master for immoderate
chastisement, as in the case Of an appren-
tice. The number of slaves gradually di-
minished until ls4s, when an act was
passed providing that no person should
thereafter be held to slavery in the State
while another clause prohibited the intro
duction of any bondman within its limits.
