SLATERYAUTH0RIzED BY YTHEPRESiDENT

SLHTERYh hUTHORIZED BY THEPRESIDENI'
Another sale of negroes in Maryland, reported in
our kilograms to-day, proves that unlcss the Civil
Rights bill ia enforced, emancipation is but farce.
IL matters not whether thousand men are sold, or
but two or three; the Constitution is equally denied
and Slavery reG3tablishcd. There are two provisions
in the laws of Maryland which impose unjust disa-
bities upon colored men; the first dsqualifos negro
from being witness in any cause wherein WhlIe
man is party; the second declares that where;a ne
gro is convicted Of crime for which white man
would be confined in the penitenary he shall be SEN
fenced to be sold either in out Of the State, for
the period for which white would be imprs-
oned Since Maryland courts declare the Civil
Rights bill unconstitutional, there have been several
sentences Of negroes TO Slavery under the latter law,
aud the case We report to-day shows concerted reso'
luton to restore Slavery in this modified FORM
The utter folly Of the pretense that the penalty IS
punishment Of crmo is shown by the fact that
one Of the negroes sentenced TO slavery purchased
his liberty Tor S37, thus escaping with slight fine.
This small price was due however to the presence Of
Major Vandorp Of the Freedmons Bureau, who issued
awarant yesterday for the arrest Of Judge Magruder
who ordered tho sale, and bis trial belo-e a United
States Court undor the Civil Rights bill. Maryland
papers claim that the negroes profit by the law as the
renitentiary is worse punishment than Slavery; but
they arc very careful not 70 suggest that Whte men
should be treated in the same way.
But a grayer question than conflict between the
state laws Of Maryland and the Civil Rights bill pre-
sents itself The President has suspended, by an
order dated Dec l9 paragraphs V. and VI OF General
Orders No. Is, issued by Gen sckles in the Depart
mcnt Of the South. We quote the paragraphs;
"Y. Corporal punishment shall not be inflicted
"upon any person other than a minor, and then only
"by the parent, guardian, teacher, or one to whom
"eaid minor is lawfully bound by indenture Of ap.
"prcntccshp. Nor shall any person be sold to sory-
"ico as a punishment for crime for other cause by
"any authority whatever.
"vI. the laws Of tho States, respectively, in this
department defining and Furnishing tagrancy, ap-
"plicablo TO white persons, may be enforced against
"all persons; nevertheless, no one who shall have
used reasonable diligence to obtain employment, OF
"who shall be unable to work, by reason Of niirmiy
shall DO deemed a yagrant."
By this act President Andrew johnson permits
South Carolina to whip her free negroes, and reetab-
lshes Slavery in al the States Of the Department OF
The South. without attempting TO show any cause,
a5 has authorized in those States the same outragcs
which in Maryland have aroused the indignation OF
tho people. ne has attempted to nullity the Civil
Rights BILL deGf5 the clause in the Constitution pro-
bibtg sayeryi and has gone out of bis way to seek
new issue with Congress- OF all his evil acts, mono
is worse than this.

A special dispatch from Matamoros informs US that
Minister Campbell has joined EscObedo, and set off
with him TO find Juarez to whom doubtless he is ac
credited by our Government. This was decided after
consultation with Gen. Sherman. The meaning Of

celebrated Institution of the kind in the United
States he fatters himself he will be able to give
entire satisfaction to all who may consult him.
He has had ten years experience in the treat
ment of Diseases of the Eye, since leaving the
Wills Hospital, and knows, from actual expert
ence, that he can treat successfully all Diseases
of the Eye that durable, and nearly all are,
whether requiring Medical or Surgical Aid.
The public are aware that Physicians generally
pay but little attention to diseases of the Eye,
having never had the opportunity time to &C
quire thorough theoretical and practical knowl-
edge of this class of Diseases, and consequently,
they cannot be expected to treat them as satisfac-
torily as one who has had both.

lar mind to advertising. because this has been
heretofore practised by foreigners and pretenders
in Science, whose only object has been to deceive
and humbug-but as a native of this county, we'll
known to most of the citizens-with ample oppOr-
tunities and facilities for acquiring knowledge
of Ophthatic Diseases, and enlarged experience
in treating Eye Diseases practically, think can
demonstrate my fitness for this speciality to all
who may extend to me their patronage. Persons
afflicted with Diseases of the Eye OF long stand
ing, and who have been subjected to various
modes of treatment aclthout Tetiet, should not be
discouraged, as it often happens that those very
cases are
Most Readily and Rapidly Cured!
Although it must be admitted, as general rule,
that the longer the duration of diseased condi-
ton, the longer the time required for its eradca-
ton.
1t is needless to speak of the value of sight
those only can properly estimate its advantages
who are unfortunately deprived of it.
Patients from a distance should come prepared
to remain at least while, if it is considered nee
essary in order to treat their cases successfully

To find new curses for Doneraile,
And may grim Pluto's inner Jail
Forever groan with Doneraile!
