Mr.. Sumner, chairman Of the Select Com
mittee on Slavery and the treatment Of Freed
men, In the Senate yesterday presented bill
for the repeal of MI acts for the rendition Of
fugitive slaves, and accompanied it BY re-
two acts for the rendition Of fugitive slayes
which remain unrepealed. The first was
that Of 1888, which was preceded BY an off,
cial correspondence, intended to show the
necessity Of legisla.i,n. The second, that Of
1s5o, % which was s int5od9eed By report n9 from
man Of the judiciary Committee Of the Sen
atc. The report miintaius that these acts
Should be repealed, whether viewed as part
Of the system of slavery, or as independent
agencies, Slavery has become doublv often
sfye now TINT 1t has risen in arms against the
> Government. It is bad enough to return q
iurItiye to slavery at any fine. but still
worse when We are thereby sunnlvinr the
enemy with the sinews OF war. fhe slave

The report further alleges that the fugitive
slave acts are unconstitutional first, Ii de-
ondly,, in comforting judicial powers upon
commissioners who are not Judges. The re-
