A Good Plank for Reconstruction.

In recent letter Gen. Carl Shcurtz says ut
is gratifying tolnow-and can state this up
on good authority-that the President is In
favor of very important amendment to the
constitution, which is already before the two
Houses of Congress. 1t is the amendment
making the number of voters the basis of rep
resentation. 1t ought to be taken up immedi-
diately after the holidays, passed and submit
ted to the different Legislatures for ratifca-
ton. Whatever may be thought OF the theory
upon which this amendment rests, its practi-
cal effect upon the solution of the most diff
cult problem before us, can hardly be ques-
uoned, and in the course of time it may be
found that upon this basis many differences
OF opinion among those who ought to go to-
gether can be reconciled." as sf- 90

Origin Of Slavery in Virginia.

Slavery 10 Virginia was naugurated' IL
the year 1920, thirteen years after the first
settlements at jamestown. A Dutch ship.
from the coast Of Guinea, entered The James
River, and sold twenty OF her slaves to the
colonists. Tobacco was first introduced
into England about twenty years before
the settlement Of jamestown, and from the.
rapid extension Of its use, and the heavy
price paid, these first settlers Of Virginia
were encouraged to cultivate it for Market.
to the neglect Of all other crops. This en-
encouraged greatly the further importation
Of slaves, by the large profits which could b.
made from their labor, while tobacco sold
for three shillings sterling a pound, equal
to nine or ten times it's ordinary price now.
If the planters had not been continually
supplied with labor from the psupers who.
were sent off from England and sold for a
term Of years, to defray the expenses Of
their transportation, this encourag ement Of
tobacco culture would have still more en-
couraged the slave trade. This importation
of paupers, and the gradual fall In the price.
of tobacco, SO checked the importation Of
slaves that, in the year 1871, according TO-
an official communication from the Govern
or, Sir William BerkIey. while the whole
population was but 40, 900, the number Of
indentured servants or paupers WAS 6,OO0y
the number Of slaves being but 1000. Dur
ing seven years, the eargoes Of slaves. did
not exceed two or three, while the paupers
amounted to l 500 annually. These inden-
tured servants, in process Of time, began to
run away from their masters, and finally
raised conspiracy among themselves for
insurrection, which called forth a prohibi.
ton OF their further importation. This,
with the cheapness of feeding and clothing
negro slaves, he'd to the importation Of 80
many that, in 1888. the Legislature levied
a tax on each slave imported. This did not, ;.
however, accomplish the object for which it
was intended, for the number increased
from 1000 in 1877 to 2o3,427 in 1890.

October, at Charleston, the red men declined
to become citizens of the State under the
Civil Rights Bill. They do noa wish to vote.
This once famous tribe has dwindled to 1913
persons, and there is good deal Of negro
blood among them. They now exist as an
independent community under the guardian
ship of the State, electing their own officers
and making their own laws. They own

EE- Ford's Theater, the scene Of A. Linooln's
assassination, was bought by governmsnst
and made q depository for Confederate ar
chives. A Washington letter says: 10
"Ihe building was strong and subtantiaf
one, and would have stood for hundred
years as theater. But, massive as the walls.
were, they were never designed to bear the
vast weight of tho three additional brick and
iron floors which Mr.. Stanton very foolishy
insisted on having put in, wherein 10 store
his archives of the rebellion The conse-
quence was, that the walls succumbed to the
pressure, and began to crack and give way.
TO avoid tumble down Of The whole house
Mr.. Stanton has mad the front wall taken
down, and it is TO be built up in more mas.
sive style. But it is evident that the side
walls are now bearing too much weight, and
if they continue to bulge out, they too will
have to be taken down. In fine, after spend
ing some half million OF dollars upon the
editice, the whole concern will have 10 bs ia
ken down."
