selling Men into slavery i" Mary

land.
Dnr;np the debate on Thursday last,
Senator Salisbury, of Delaware, and
Senator Reverdy Johnson, OF Mary
land. both gave the gratifying ASST
rance that tie authorities of their re-
spective States would interPose TO
enforce the civil rights bill. Senator
salisbury distinctiveIy declared that
a number of negroes had been convicted
of crime since the passage of the clE WI
tights bill, but on account OF the o.7
te1ca of that bill, had not been IN
tanced: and that the Governor Va
state. the Senator's own brothei' la" ~
/ recommended the passage OF u taM ~
carry out the provisions oI eH9 clsii

5I ;,ir,oted that the Circuit Court OF
H. ITnita,I states in Maryland would
10. :, inst Judgment on the impending
i,,l,j,.I ,1ent OF Judge Magruder for v!o-
iatino the civil-rights bill, and declared
that This would be a far better way 10
settle the question than by Congress
sionaI leCislation. Senator CressweIl
allowed and approved the general
tone of his colleague, but expressed the
correct opinion that such attempts as
those of Magruder We're not only con-
tpmpt of the civil-rightS Dill, Dut also
of the acknowledgements clause
orthe new amendment of the Constltu-
tiOD. which never meant anything else
but imprisonment for crime, and dld not
authorize the sale of a human being;
and ne added that if this amend
ment we're enforced in Maryland there
would be no difficulty. The case CT
Magruder came up before Judge Giles,
i'm the Circuit Court of Baltimore, on
New Years day, and was postponed 10
the next term of the United States CIR
chit. which meets in that city on the
first Monday in April. Magruder gave
bail in 81, 900 for his appearance at that
time. From the following extract,
taken from the Baltimore american of
the I'd inst, it would appear that fur
Their proceedings have been instituted
against that now celebrated jurist:
The United States Commissioner,
Isaac Brooks, ESD, being present,
Judge Magruder appeared before him,
in obedience to a warrant charging him
with a violation of the civil rights bill,
in sentencing four colored persons to
be sold to- service upon conviction for
larceny, thereby prescribing different
punishment from that imposed upon
white men, etc. The clauses of the
civil rights bill $50 called) were read and
discussed, which enact that ''invOlun-
tary servitude shall not exist except as
n punishment for crime upon convic-
ton" This, it was admitted, did not
meet the case. Another clause of the
same section of the law says that a diff
ferent punishment shall not be pre-
scribad on account of race and color
from that prescribed for white men, &c.
The commissioner said that although
the law appeared to be conflicting in its
terms, he would not undertake TO de-
eide upon it. Judge Magruder then
gave bail, with the same parties as in
the former case, in $1,000 for his appear
nnce ut the next term of the District
Court, commencing on the first Tues
day in March next.

High Rents,

a Pittsburgh exchange complains of
the dullness of business and the high
rate of rents up there. We quote as
follows from its remarks on the SUBJ
ject:-
"The money market works heavily
yet. The season for renewal of rents
is upon us again. The GOODNESS with
which landlords add to rentals that are
already exorbitant, would be refresh
ing were not the thermometer already
down to zero. Business at stand still,
tradesmen, generally, barely "making
the ends meet" the prospect for two
years to come, with a glutted market
and constant decline toward gold
prices, utterly disheartening, and yet
landlords raising the rent from ten to
twenty-five per cent! We learned to-
day of one case where twenty-five
hundred rental was raised to three
| thousand. 1t was already higher than
the occupant could afford to pay, but
he cannot move, and though it may in
the end have been better to do so, he
cannot we'll decline business
| We beg the gentlemen who own
| squares and corner lots to look mt it u
moment. Is it not better to accept a
reasonable rent for your buildings
Looking to the welfare of your tenants
rs well as your own, than by oppres-
sion demanding the last cent they can
raise? We are all looking forward to
close times-to few years during
which it will be necessary to husband
every copper, if we would meet our OBJ
legations, and maintain our standing.
Gold is coming down, grain is coming
down, pork is down, Governments,
railways, stocks of all description are
coming down. We say "that labor
must come down." but rents are up,
up. One OF two things will certainly
happen, should landlords insist on
present demands-mark it-either trade
will be driven from the city at once, or
those who do rent, hoping to pay, will
be forced to throw up their leases before
the expiration of two years. If our
opinion is ofany value act upon it, if
not, don't stop mt twenty-five per cent,
| put ON fifty, double it, and see where
you will come out"

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Nearly all the State Legislatures have
met, or will meet during the early part
of this year, and the ultimate decision
about the Constitutional amendment
willprobably soon be known. All the
Southern Legislatures that have con-
sidered the subject have rejected the
amendment, excepting Tennessee,
delaware and Maryland will probably
also reject it. All the Northern States
will, no doubt, ratity it. The Consti-
tuition requires that three-fourths OF
the State Legislatures shall ratify an
amendment in order to make it u nor
ton of that instrument.

New York DRY GooDs TRADE.-Ac-
cordinS to n New York letter, the year
begins with n rather firmer feeling in
the dry goods market, caused chiefly
by the activity in the raw material and
the better prices obtained for it. The
leading makes of goods were freely
taken up by the jobbers in the course
OF the day. The movement is suppos-
ed to be of a speculative character.
Then, too, jobbers are less DESTROYS
than they have been heretofore of dis
posing of their stocks, and agents are
making less discounts than usual.
Prints continue dull, and as vet few
spring styles have been opened.
