TRe DEMoogATs OF 1914 ON THE Ne
GRO QUESTION In 1914, the Democratic
Legislature OF New York passed an act au-
thorizing Gov. Daniel d. Thompkins to raise
two regiments Of colored men, who were to
have the same pay aud rations as other SOL
diers, and to receive bounty Of S25 per
man. The bill provided that SLAVES might en-
list, with the consent Of their masters, New
York then having slaves, and that each slave
when discharged from military service, should
be manumitted. Gen. Erastus Root, who
was a leading democrat, introduced the bill
to the Senate, and it was supported by Martin
Van Buren, Nathan Sanford, Col. Young and
other leading democrats. There we're only
three votes against the bill in the Senate-and
these were cast by Federalisls. The House
concurred in it without division, and the
Council Of Revision, which included the Gov
ernor, approved it.

FROM WASHINGTON AND VIOINITY.

The House has again refused to adopt the
Senate's proposition taxing banks circulation
one per cent. which is regarded as njurous to
country bank. II is thought that COM
promise will be finally made by which tax
OF deposits will be made, as well as tax on
circulation, thus equalzing the burden on
city and country banks.
The arrest Of a Massachusetts, Brigadier
General, by order Of Gen. Hunter, for using

policy creates some sensation.

says Gen. Hooker aud Gen. Mcclellan were

Gen. Mcclellan has nearly completed his
statement and it will be read IN the Commit
tee on Monday. Gen Hookers evidence re-
latos mainly to affairs at Fredericksburg and
Falmouth.
The committee will examine one or two
witnesses and then close up the evidence and
submit it to Congress,

Messrs. Henderson, Davis and Hicks,

for an establishment Of a separate govern

lor the building up Of a great slave power
and that the only effect of mediation, arbitra-
ton or interference, would be to prolong and
intensity the struggle and add to its horrors.
All tendencies 10 foreign Intervention are
protested against and all foreign governments
are called on to note the contest as a struggle
between Freedom and Slavery.

SLAVERY IN LoUIsIANA.-The first and
second congressional districts (iucluding New
Orleans end neighborhood,) were exempted
from the Presidents proclamation, not being
rebel ground, Nevertheless it is under mill
tary control, and the military cannot enforce
the fugitive slave law-that office belonging
to the civil power. Hence the slaves have
been troublesome, aud to settle the trouble,
the masters, at the suggestion Of Gen Banks,
have agreed to contract with the slaves to
labor for one year for food, clothing, and very
reasonable wages. Probably it will prove a
good arrangement for both masters and slaves,
as well as secure regular labor, productive
crops and good order.

The House spent yesterday, until midnight,
and three hours Of to-day, on the Senate bill
providing for supplying the army by ENROLL
ing and drafting; and the bill was passed
without material amendment. An attempt
was made to strike out the 18th section
which provides that any drafted person may
be discharged on furnishing substitute or
paying three hundred dollars This was OBJ
jected to on the ground that it will be hard
ship to the poor; but the answer was, that it
is for the benefit Of the poor, since it in effect
limits the price Of a substitute to $500, where
as without such limit the price may, and
probably will, rise to much grea,ers sum.
10 fact, much greater sums we're e1aoted last
year in New England in some cities a, high
IS seven hundred dollars was the price paid.
The sum Of $500 is rather high for poor
man but it should be remembered that it is
as much too small for a rich man therefore
a medium price had to be fixed. The amend
ment was rejected, ss to &C.
