INVOLUNTARY SEnvFTuDE AND SLAvERy.-Tho
trainers Of the constitution purposey avoided
Introducing into it the word slavery, and the
recently accepted amendment observes the
same delicacy. It forbids "involuntary servi-
tude, except as punishment for crime" In
North Carolina, few days ago. q negro was
found guilty of some petty offence, and under a
State law was sold into slavery for term of
years. This is practically the same slavery
that existed before, and it is within the law
since the constitutional amendment clearly
permits it The freedmen had better behave
themselves.

The New BANKRUPT LAw.-Every session Of
Congress for a number Of years past has had
under consideration the subjeet-ef . general
bankrupt law. Last year the pressing legisla-
ton relating to the war preoluded suitable de-
liberation on the matter, and bankrupt act,
carefully prepared and calculated to meet the
then commercial exigencies, was suffered to lie
over we perceive that the subject has been
already introduced in the present session of
Congress, and that new and lengthy act has
been submitted. and referred to o committee.
We trust II will not be- allowed 10 meet the
fate Of its, predecessors, and be smothered in
committee; or left to the tail end Of the session
and then passed over for another year. The
mercantile community feel deep solictnde
on this point They ask Congress to take hold
of the subject and act promptly and decisivsly
upon 1t. There Is no occasion to. use the old
arguments, pro and con, on the propriety or
impropriety of such a law. The topic has been
fully ventilated and completely exhausted.
No new features are presentabls other than
what may be used in support of the proposition
There should be no delay Ia Congressional nc
ton on the matter, for the passage of the net
cannot help imparting healthy and beneficial
tone to all our commercial and manufacturing
interests. ~

of the infamous and INSCRIPTIONS lobby at
Washington. The lobbyists at the capital are
engaged in an effort to make the Reserve corps

PAwNNG THE IMPERIaL JEwELs--N Is sig
ni6cantly stated In Q late London paper
that the Empress Carlotta Of Mexico has
sent her imperial jewels to Paris osteusibly for
the purpose of being repaired, but in reality
for the purpose Of being pledged in order TO
raise money to enable her imperial husband
to rule The Mexican empire o little longer
This may be true or il may mot But there
is one thing. pretty clear about the imperial
establishment In Mexico, and That is. the EN-
press, and not the Emperor, is the real mon
arch. Evidence of this is furnished In the let
ter Of fsham G. Harris, Ex-Governor OF Ten
nessee, giving ON account of his interview with
the Emperor and Empress in the city Of
Mexico. On this occasion, according to Mr..
Harris, the Empress acted as interpreter,
speaking in English, French and German, and
transacted all the business Of the interview.
Therefore, If she chooses to send her jewels to
Paris or anywhere else out of Mexico, 1t shows
that she is q sensible woman and a good house.
wife-one who appreciates the advantages of
laying something by for rainy day after her
husbands reign in Mexico Is over. That coun-
try, from all appearances, will in a short time
be one Of the unsafest places in the world as o
repository for imperial jewels. Seriously,
Madame Carlotta evidently contemplates an
early visit to Europe, and 1t is no wonder she
sends her valuables there in advance.
In the meantime the Empress is making o
pleasure trip to Yucatan, Honduras and some
other principalities Of the empire. Is this alone
pleasure trips That Is an interesting ques-
ton. II is not long since Macmillan by impe-
rial edct reannexed the State of Honduras to
his domnions. Belize, the principal seaport,
had for long time previously beec under
British dominion; in fact, IL was considered .
very valuable transatlantic gem In the British
crown. How that question has been settled
we are not aware; but we have no doubt 1t
has occasioned no little irritation in the British
Cabinet, and has served to complcate matters
between England and France on the Mexican
business. This visit Of the Empress, therefore,
to that region may not only be one Of pleasure,
but one involving very important political SUBJ
jccts. She is evidently mistress of the situa-
ton, however, and will take careful and phi
losophical view OF the whole matter. Meanwhile
the rich Yucatanese and the Indians will have
an opportunity to exhibit their loyalty by SUBJ
scribing literally to magnificent donation in
bullion 50 that, If the Empress has really been
obliged to pawn her jewels to some Partisan
Shylock, sac will have the means to redeem
them. In any view, however, the eyes OF the
world should now be directed more 70 the
.. Empress than tho Emperor Of Mexico

THE UNITED STATES REVENUE CoMMIssIoN.-
A disposition has been manifested in several
quarters to reflect with some severity upon the
Revenue Commission in not having their report
ready on the assembling Of Congress. All
such have but little idea OF the vast amount of
labor to be performed by the gentlemen who
compose that commission There are almost
an inconceivable variety Of questions to be con-
sidered. Our revenue taxes arc now assessed
upon so many interests, business of every
variety, that the laboss OF Investigating the
different points in all their ramihcations are
almost herculesn. In order. that the report of
the commission may be Of value to Congress it
must be thorough and exhaustive Of the subject
A superficial report is not wanted. Such-a- one
the committee of Congress cam make without
the commission. The object aimed at in
creating the Revenue Commission was that
thorough and efficient investigation might be
had in order that Congress may place tax
on the general or more important articles.
There are many things under the present law
which in shape of cost and petty annoyance are
really loss to the government in collecting.
