The Niger Question in the Yankee
JoyricSS.

/
II Che House of Representatives on the
29th the Civil Appropriation Bill was un-
| der consideration. The Senate had pro-
posed to ameud the bill so that the 9Th aud
9th sections of the act to prohibit the i'm
portation Of slaves into any port within tbs
tjurisdiction Of the United states after the
1st Of January. 1903, in which said Sec
tons undertake to regul.te the coastwise
slave trade, be repealed forever
The Committee Of Ways and Means rec
commended a concurrence
lIr. Brooks of Nav York, Dem. eug-
gested the danger Of interfering with the
question of ooaStwise trade, which was now
a monopoly in the hands Of Americans ex>
l'clusively.. The public mind might DO so
agitated That changes would be made detrl-
mental to commercial interests.
Mr. Davis remarked be believed the gen
tleman was mistaken as to the nature OF
the:.amendment; it only proposed to SO III
terfere with the coastwise trade as TO pre-
vent the importation and transportation OF
slaves
Mi Mallory, of Kentucky said If the Alb
olitionist could make shy profits by contin-
uing the slave trade they would DO so.
Mr. Blainess of Maine, (Uuion) said the
gentleman from New York { Brooks) would
by his policy strike down protection to the
navigating and commercial interests.
Mr. Brooks said that if there was free
trade New York would vastly improve in
all her material interests.
Mr. Blaine replied that the gentleman
would strike down the laws of navigation
in order that New York might be built up
Mr. Cox said that the advantages Of the
| coastwise trade was a contract betn cen the
North and South. The North has broken
the contract, but holds the consideration.
Mr. Blaine said a Western Confederacy
was talked Of.
| Mr Cox said he never heard of it.
Mr. Blaine, in che course of his remarks
said. Western Confederacy could not be
set up long enough to be kicked over, with
out an outlet to the ocean.
Mr.. Arnold of Illinois, (Union, said the
gentleman from New York remarked some
time ago, that Slavery was dead. Did he
still think so?
Mr. Brooks replied that be was no under
taker or embalmer, to bury the body of
Slavery.
Mr. Arnold asked. if slavery was dead
why continue the Savo-tradel
Mr. Brooks replied. that the gentleman

Mr. Brooks, noticing some remarks Of

were taken, Ne York would give ma

This would give aid and comfort to the
rebels. and be paraded in the Richmond
press.
Mr. Blaine esked how would New York
decide between the Montgomery Constitu.

. STREETS IN WASHINGTON The Yankee
Senate passed bill last week naming a
new street in Washington Colfaz sheet, af
ter the Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. A Yankee paper says:
This is the FIRST instance id which the
original plan Of naming the streets and ay-
enues Of the Capital has been departed from,
the streets being designated by numbers or
letters and the avenues by the names Of
States. There is no question Of the ap-
propriateness Of this designation. if the new
system is to be adopted for the future, but
it destroys the unity and simplicity of the
original plan adopted by the Fathers.
