The Washington correspondent Of the
Post says that an important omission Is not
ed in the confScation and EMANCIPATION bill.
''inasmueh as it contains no section provit-
ing for the enforcement Of the provisions re-
lating to emancipation. In general terms
the slaves Of rebel masters are declared free
bu. it does not authorize anybody to decide
upon the question, except in cases where an
attempt was made to recover the slave IL the
courts. - /. will be remembered that the
President, in bis draft Of his veto message,
pointed out this omission and suggested that
the want might be easily supplied. But
Congress did not take the hint.
