Ismeil Pashn and the slave Trade.

In yesterdays HERALD We published an
account of an interview which certain anti
slavery Populations, French and English, had
with tho King of Egyp. during his stay In
Paris. The reply of his Majesty to the depu-
tations Is characteristic and not without cer-
tain amount of cleverness Complaints had
been made by the Populations regarding the
notorious continuance of the slave trade
on the White Nile. His Majesty deplored
the fact: he had been and was still doing his
utmost to put it down he had adopted the
strongest measures against it, as proof OF
which he had within the last six months caused
to be shot commandant and q colonel who
had disobeyed orders in favoring the trade.
II the slave trade on the Nile had not been
eiIectually put down the fault was not his, but
the fault of the European Powers, whose pro-
lection was too easily lent to scoundrels who
trade in human flesh. Particular stress Is laid
upon the fact that since the abolition Of the
British Consulate at Khartoum, on the Upper
| Nile. his interference had been moro effective.
As to slavery in Egypt, that was another ques-
| ton. II was one thousand two hundred on d
| eighty years old, was interviewer with the
religious belief of the people, and required
| time to die. 1t was dying, however, and, II
tho slave trade were only abolished, mus soon
perish.
Such, In substance. Is the reply Of the King
Of Egypt II states the truth, but it does not
state ths whole truth. II omits to state for
example, that the British Consul referred to
4 obtained his appointment through false repre-
sensations, and that 90 soon as the truth was
known the appointment was cancelled. II
omits to state that the King Of Egypt himself d
most extensive purchaser, large numbers Of
slaves--male and female, mutilated and un
Misunderstanding absolutely necessary, accord
ing 70 the present system, at his various
palaces and harcmA 1t omlts to state that the
example Of his Majesty Il initiated by BIZ
numerous pashas and wealthy beya II omit
also to state that Egypt is but . specimen 0
the Mohammsdan world generally. If Ismail
King Of Egypt, does not know, the intelligent
portion Of mankind in general does know, tina
the simplest - well as most effective way 0
putting down . trade is to deprive II Of
market When the demand ceases the suppl,
Is certain to fail. His sincerity in this mattel
will best be svinced BY abolshing slavery il
his own dominion.

General Ord and the Trsabls In Arkansas.
General Ord has cleared his record In the
natter Of his acts against the Arkansas Legis-
bture and State Treasurer, and We believe
Aers was never any suspicion that could justly
ihpugn his conduct, since the allegation made
Il the Supreme Court came from O source in
Sympathy with the rebel machine that Ord
smashed by bis decided acts. He removed the
Safe Treasurer because that functionary was
Ineligible under the law, and because he had
reason to believe he would make an improper
ule OF the State funds; and he prevented the
meeting Of the Legislature, since II was con-
vsned merely 70 Impeachment whose crime was
devotion TO the government Of The United
States. Thus Ord comes out Of the accusation
Oh the brighter for having had the opportunity
u explain his position, and Congress should
now consider whether II has not duty TO per-
form In his case His name was omitted from

msnders and II that omission wss on account

National Banks and tho Pablo Faals,
The resolution introduced yesterday into d
House Of Representatives, that mo nationsa
bank shall be selected a. public depositers
OF government moneys in any city whore 3
located treasurer or assistant treasurer q
tho United States" is move In the right
direction. The national banks are many al
them VIGOROUSLY uncertain and unsafe, a. has
already been proven in New Orleans ana
other parts Of the South and West. The
depositing Of vast sums of the public treasure
in the hands of these banking institutions Is =
virtual gift Of an enormous amount Of monev
every year to privileged set of corporations
which feed essentially upon tho public purss
and retard the financial convalescence of thu
nation. The Secretary Of the Treasury should
take the timely hint thrown out in the above
resolution, and imm ,diately inaugurats new
system Of depositing the public moneys, which
should, wherever 1t Is practicable, be placed
In the hands of the -Treasurers, and where.
in large cities, these do not exis. it would be
wise to establish them. By all means tho
pernicious system by which our finances ara
made to add to the corruption Of the country
and the ruin of i. interests should be imme-
diately corrected. If Mr.. McCulloch is not
competent to the task let him step aside and
leave it to ADLER hands.

archs, the five pro-consuls, the five viceroys,
the i've satraps the five Turkish pashas, or the
I've Chinese mandarins, each with three tails:
but this will not change the facts nor the
powers that be. 1t is said that General Sickles
Is the Great Mogul of Charleston; that in his
royal coach, with his four shining black horses,
he is the admiration OF the darkies, who love
display and 6nery, but that his coach and four
produce anything but pleasing reflections to
mourners for the constitution. But does not
the executive head of the democratic party
make an equal display with his coach and four
at Newport, and is he not sMckler for the
constitution! All this sort OF cant and claplrap
goes for nothing against any Of these Eve mill
tary commanders, so long as they faithfully and
zealously execute the laws Of Congress- We
believe they are thus doing their duty, and that
henceforward, under the directions Of General
Grant, 1t will be plain sailing for them. But
when they shall have finished their work with
the reconstruction Of the States concerned,
then will come the crisis Of life or death to
the present republican organization; then the
elements Of discord and disintegration will
appear, and then will begin reconstruction
of parties and sections and factions, and per-
hips Northern revolution against the excuses
Of Southern black republican political ascen-
dancy. This experiment is under full head
way, and the point OF danger will soon appear.
Whether the party in power, with General
Grant as their champion, are to walk over tho
course in 1868, like Monroe in 1920, or are to
be broken up in scrub race like that Of 1924,
will most probably be determined Nv the
results Of this experiment Of nepr., suffrage in

The Reconstruction Bill.

WASHINGTON, u. o., March IL,
The Supplemental Reconstruction
Bill of the Senate was agreed to in
the House ellis afternoon With three
amendments, as follows: First, a
change in the oath to be taken at the
time of registration to cover, the case
of certain persons in Virginia who
have held State Offices, but have new.
er sworn to support the Constitution
Of the United States second, change
SO that new Constitutions must be
ratified bya majority of all register
ed voters; and third, an addition pro-
viding that false swearing under the
act be punished as perjury. The
Senate at a later hour in the day
agreed to the first and third amend
nlents Of the House without a divis>
ion, and disagreed as to the second
one by votesof twenty one to twen-
ty>three. This question as to the
number Of votes necessary for a rat
ifcation of the Constitution is there's
fore the only matter Indifference be-
tween the two branches. The House
by vote of ninety eight to twenty.
eight insists that that shall require a
majority Of the whole number of reg
istered electors, while the Senate in,
sists when all members in the city
are present, by vote of twenty seven
to twenty four that it may be by a
majority of the votes cast at the said
election, provided that at least half
Of all who are registered must vote
on the question Of ratification. The
bill goes to the House again to-mor-
row morning. If that body recedes
on this point the measure is ready
for the President. If it refuses to
recede, as probably it will, the bill
must go into a Committee of Confer
ence. A strong effort will be made
to dispose of the subject in some way
to morrow.
