The Boston Board of Trade has Joined the
New-York Chamber Of Commerce in petition
ing Congress forprotecton to the lawful claims
of Northern creditors against the operation OF
Southern Statutes of Limitation running DUR
ing the Rebellion, and against stay laws

but their bare legal rights for men who other.
wise will be swindled out Of hundreds OF mil
lions Of dollars, these petitioners are entitled to
have their prayer granted. We do not learn
that there are two opinions on the subject in
Congress; relief therefore should be speedy as
well as certain.

now, and

The Economist (London) is alarmed lest the
Canadas-or rather, all the British Colonies in
North America-shall assimilate their tariff to
ours, and thus unite with us in a sort of Zoll
verein, wherein their products and ours should
continue to be exchanged on footing of perfect
reciprocity. This the organ of British Calico
breads, of course, and urges the colonists in
stead to cut down their tariff TO nothing and
Systematically render their country mere de.

ming" British fabrics into the Ststes the Colonial
revenues to be replenished by House duty and
By an increase of Stamp and Excise duties.
Says The Eeonomist:
"Tbe Washington politicians seem 10 have expected
that, under the alarm Of losing the treaty. Canada
would consent TO adopt az high tariff ~ the States.
They are entirely and almost rdiculously mistaken.
In real truth the sbrogation Of the treaty BY the sole

THE HEALTH BILL.

While the Legislature has under consideration
the bill establishing new Board of Health for
our City, it may not be presumptuous to offer
suggestions looking to its improvement. The
following points seem to us those wherein the
bill, as presented, may be usefully modified:
1. We think the Commissioners should be
nominated by the Governor and confirmed by
the Senate, but that the Mayors of this City and
Brooklyn, with the Health Officer of the Port,
should be Commissioners CT c6ieio.
2. We judge that these, with four more Com
misunderstanding seven in all-should consti-
tute the new Board.
3. We suggest that the amount Of money
they may e1pend should be expressly limited,
SO as to render it certain that there shall be
secured an aggregate saving Of expense BY the
creation Of this Board.
4. We Judge that two physicians (beside the
Health. Oficer) and two laymon would be a
proper apportionment.
5. The President Of the Board should be re-
quired to devote his entire time to the duties Of
his station, and be paid a liberal, though not
extravaganza salary, as should the Secretary;
but tho other members of the Board, whose
duties would be rather legislative than executive,
and who need give but a few hours per week to
their official duties, and who need not surrender
their regular business, should be content with a
rery moderate stipend.
6. We submit that all the other Commission.
49,, Dol;oo Orotop Watar Canfrol pork Thar
tiles, Fire, &c.-should be required to coop
crate with that of Health, and afford all practi-
cable assistance in securing the great ends for
which it is organized.
Such are the few particulars in which the
Health bill, as printed, seems to us susceptible
of improvement. We respectfully commend
them to the consideration of the Legislature.

A correspondent suggests that Congress should
proffer to every freedman forty acres of Public
Land in Florida or elsewherc--to be inalenable

We are opposed to any such act, and to all

such, unless there be peculiar and very urgent
reasons therefor. We wish It were possible, by
q three.line amendment to the Federal Con'
atitution, to prescribe that all Federal, State oI

or recognize any legal distinction based on color
are hereby annuled, and the enactment OF any
more such precluded.

LAND HRRESFEs,

This Is an age Of miracles, and day Of thick
coming portents. 1t almost stops ones breath
to find Massachusetts, and Tennessee on the
same platform, with Gen. Pillow and the Rev.
Mr.. Kirk shaking hands. The former writes to
q friend in Washington that the freedmen ars
working steadily upon plantations under his
supervision, and that she allows them land for
the cultivation of vegetables for their own use
without charge therefor" DR.. Kirk said In
Boston, on New Years Day: " 1t has been one
of my strongest desires to see the great planta-
tons of the South split up. The Black man
and the White man must occupy small iafniS
down there, whether the chiyalry Ike II
or not" The Doctor goes o little furnef
than the General, but the clerical ana
military mind are both poisoned by the
abomnable, heretical, agrarian idea Of lard Tor
the landless. 1t is easy to say in the pro-Slav-
cry newspapers that DR.. Kirk, albeit be IS ons
of the most conservative of Calvinistic dvines,
is New. England radical, with his head full OF
Fourierite WITNESSES; but Gen. Pillow is pa
triarch of long standing, educated in the strict
est school of slave-holding philosophy, ana
without the smell of Boston notion in his gar
ments. II any mans testimony can be above
the suspicion of prejudice, it is his; and he de-
clares over his own signature that the freedmen
are working well, and that to cheer and encour-
age them he has set off to them small parcels OF
land which they are to cultivate for their OWN
benefit aud profit. What will the nice critics.
who are always bowling themselves hoarss
about our radcalism and agrarianism, say to
this wild and reckless speculation OF Gen. PHI
lowl
We are almost afraid TO express our approba-
ton Of tho common sense course pursued by
this retired warrior lest our approval should
damage him in the estimation fhis neiShoors,
and thus hinder him in the respectable work
which he has undertaken. But we must say
that Gen. Pillow might have done much worse
He might have betaken himself TO whisky and
swearing; he might have folded his hands in
despair; he might have gone off TO Mexico there
to solace his soul by swindling Poems; he might
have come to Washington in pursuit of personal
relief; he might have ill.treated laborers who
are still very much in his power. As he has
seen fit to 90 to work man-fashion, and is deter
mined las he says) ito adjust the new relations
on the basis of impartial justice" we wish him
all manner of prosperity, good crops, quick and
profitable returns, diligent AMI dexterous work
men, and the cooperation of his fellow-citizens
whatever may be the color of their cuticles. Hs
owes the black man great debt, aud we hope
he may bring forth works meet for repentance.

have agreed on the following proposal of Con-
stitutional Amendment, which was yesterday
reported to the Senate by Mr.. Fessenden Oh
Maine:
ARTICLE -. Representatives
and Direct Taxes shall be appor-
tioi ed among the several States
which may be included within
this Union according to their re-
spective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each
State, excluding Indians not taxed;
provided, that aohenever the cleo
tiye franchise shall be denied or
adridged an any State, on account
Of race or color, all persons Of such
race or color shall be excluded from
the basis Of representation.
- This amendment virtually RENTS the ques-
ton of Black Suffrage to the several States, re-
curing only that each shall abide BY its own
decision, and not count as basis of political
power in the Union such portion of its popula-
ton as it shall deliberately deprive of power
and exclude from the body polite. In other
words, it says: Account your Blacks men or
brutes; but, if you account lhem brutes, do not
ask other States to regard them as men,"
It seems difficult to imaginea ground wherein
this rule can be nationally objected to. Its
principle is in substance embodied in our State
Constitution Cart. III. l4), which says:
can enumeration of tie inhabitants OF the State shall
be taken under the direction Of the Legislature IN Inc
year 1885, and at the end of every ten years
and the said Senat Districts shall be so altered Oy te
Legislature at the first session after the return OF each
as may be- an equal number OF inhabitants. t1cIndn
aliens and persons color not tdzed also IN 90 Win
regard to Assembly DistrictsJ
If the majority in Congress shall decide to
take its stand on the practical and reasonable
ground thus taken, trusting to the silent but
resistless operation of Time, and State PRIDE
and self.interest, to bring each State to prac-
teal recognition of the equal right of its hum.

not be vain.
