SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY.


General Brisbin, Superintendent of the
organization of colored troops in Ken
lucky, hss written letter TO Governor
Brsrniette, calling his attention to the dis
turbed condition of labor in that State,
and urging him to csll the Legislature and
pass the Constitutional amendment. The
General SAYS the slaves are nominslly free,
masters can no longer depend on their
labor, and points out the evils that must
arise from the present half-slave hslf-free
condition of the State. He claims that
the passage of the amendment would quiet
the minds of the negroes and cause them
to remain at home and till the soil, now 30
much in need of their labor. More than
twenty thousand of the most valuable
have already gone into the army. Ken
lucky muat choose either to have her slave
population absorbed and freed by the
army or to save her labor to the soil by
granting unconditional freedom to the
slaves at home.
The Governor replies concurring in the
opinion thst slavery be no longer retained
in Kentucky. Labor must be had on a
free basis, and says that the war has ex-
terminatad slavery and revolutionized the
public mind. Slavery being ended in the
rebeIlious States, the Governor thinks it
should be ended in kentucky by the most
direct means. He regards the passage of
the Constitutional Amendment as the
most practical method, and thinks lis a0Op-
ton NAV save the State from dirth Of in
dustry AZ d suspension Of production. He
calls to mind the patriotism of Kentuck-
i4ns, and says that they were always for
the Union with or without slavery.

or seventy thousand rebel troops, besides
those proled under the terms Of Lees

The Tribune says; From q gentleman
recently arrived from Havana we learn that
serious though guarded apprehension ex-
lists there of an insurrection among the
slaves. It is said that large deposits OF
arms have been discovered and that several
negroes have been arrested.
The plan is to raise the slaves al over

of sn outbreak Notwithstanding its pre-
mature discovery.

PHILADELPHIA, April 20.
A speeial dispatch to the Bulletin from
Washington, to day, says; Attorney Cen
ersl Speed has made highly important
decision on the the term Of the cspitulstion
of Lee. In reply to a letter from the Sec
retary of War relating to these points, he
declares
First, That the rebel officers who sur
rendered to General Grant have no homes
in loyal States, and have no right TO come
to places where their homes were IN loyal
States prior to going into rebellion.
Second, That persons in the civil service
of the rebellion, or who have otherwise
given it support, comfort and aid, and were
residents of rebel territory, have no right
10 return therein under that stipulation.
Third. That rebel officers certainly have
no right to be wearing their uniforms in
any of the loyal States.
The Attorney General adds that such
rebel officers having done wrong in coming
into loyal States, are but adding insult to
injury in wearing their uniforms. They
have as much right to bear traitors flags
through the streets of loyal city, as 70
wear q traitors gsrb, and that the stipula-
tions of the surrender permit no such
thing, snd the wearing of such uniform is
an act of hostility against the Govern

Scene.
A gentleman furnishes the following
graphic description of the dying scenes Of
the President, to the New York Times:
At about I:sO o'clock, I gained entrance
to the room at the end of the hall where
the President was placed. Mr.. Lincoln
was lying disgonally across the bed, show
ing no signs Of consciousness. His features
were fixed in that calm stony solemnity
which only the hand of death can mold.
From that time until he died, l was sb-
sent from his room but sn hour. Mrs.
Lincoln was led in many times during the
night. She seemed slmost frantic, and
her exclamAtions Of woe were truly hesrt-
rendinq. At one time while sitting by his
bedside, she kept saying; "Kill me I kill
me kill me, too shOot me, toOP At an

that Mrs. Lincoln had sgsin been brought

time beheld her husband alive. I sgsin
entered. The face of the diving had
changed to an sshy psleness. The dark

His breathing had become shorter and less

DAILY LEADER.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1885.

In the course of correspondence with
General ]. s. BrisbIn, Governor Bramlette
of Kentucky has come out more strongly
and decidedly than ever in favor of the
great Constitutional Amendment. The
reasons for the measure which General
Brisbin so ably urges, are cogent and un-
answersble and apply with peculiar force
to the State of Kentucky. The statesmen
of Lentucky-the Speeds, CIays, Guthries,
Bramlettes, Prertices,-have already per-
ceived the necessity of sbolishing slavery.
The people are not up to the statesmen as
yet but we are confident that at the
coming August election they will elect a
legislature pledged to ratify the Amend
ment.
