THE LAST DAYS OF SLAVERY.

cIofs Gec I've 4 LTtouftc
Possibly Senator Summers indignant reso-
luton may not hasten the overthrow of
slavery in the Spanish colonies; but we shall
be glad to have the sentiment of the country
upon this important subject expressed in un-
mistakable terms, and having given human
bondage on the Western Hemisphere its fatal
wound by the liberation of our own slaves,
we are naturally anxious to be in at the death
when the last remnants disappear from other
portions of the land. In the Spanish colo
MES, Notwithstanding the paltering ..of the
Cortes, the end is plainly in sight. Procras-
tination is the characteristic vice of the Span
lard. To every appeal for action or reform
hisreply is sMGndaa, naananG, F" tomorrow"
Thus the simple and easy course of
immediate liberation proposed by CAS-
telar is rejected, and even Moret's scheme
of gradual emancipation, so gradual that the
present generation would not feel it, and the
next would hardly reap its benefits, is post
poned to the next session. But Spanish
emancipation is already going forward, is
half accomplished, indeed, without the inter-
vention of the Cortes. 1t is only in Cuba
that any large number of slaves is held, and
there the insurrection is giving the blacks a
liberty which it will be impossible ever to
take away from them again. An act of aboli-
ton from the Cortes would be little more
than graceful and dignified submission to
the inevitable. Mr.. Summers resolution NAV
not hasten that submission; indeed, if it do,
Spain will have laid aside her characteristic
pride; but the submission must come, and
must come soon. n
In Brazil there are also indications of the
dawn. A bill is now before the Chambers
providing for the liberation of all children
born of slave parents after this date. We have
been deceived before with Brazilian promises
of emancipation, and perhaps it is too soon
to rejoice. Two years ago an elaborate scheme
of emancipation was announced as being ac-
tually adopted, but few weeks brought us
the news that the plan had been defeated, and
the liberal ministry overthrown, while the
nservatives-remnants of the old slave
traders--came back to power under the
bigoted reactionist Itaborahy This vete-
ran statesman is one of the last from whom
we should look for any liberal reform, aud
the bill now under discussion would not natur-
ally receive the support of the Government.
Still, if the conyersatiyes should change front
on this question, they would only repeat
manouvre which they tried with temporary
success some years ago. When the pressure
from within and without for the extirpation
of the contraband slave traffic became ire
sistible, the conservatives who were then in
office, rather than submit to defeat, turned
around upon their own party and crushed the

willing to see the whole rickety structure, in
come tax and ALL tumble into ruins together.
AT any rate, the country is safe against re-
rewal of the unpopular, unjust, and uncon-
stitutional income tax.
The defeat of this bad tax furnishes a new
illustration of the want of respect for Presi-
dent Grants opinions and recommendations
on financial subjects. In his annual mes
sage he asked Congress to continue the in
come tax, as did also his financial subordi-
mates, Secretary Boutwell, and the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The President
is Justly treated as a novice in such matters,
whose views are not worth regarding.

villanous business with which that party was
universally identified. Perhaps they may pur-
sue the same tactics again. The growth of a
popular feeling in favor of emancipation is
session of Asuncion they deemed it politic to
go through the form of declaring slavery at
an end in Paraguay; and the people, who for
got that slavery did not exist in Paraguay,
applauded with delight. When Count d'Eu
returned from the wars, the song of emanci-
patton mingled in the p@ans of his triumph.
The speech from the throne has time and
again uttered the popular aspirations for the
obliteration of the foulest blot upon Brazil

already come. AT any rate the day of liberia

DEFEAT OF THE INCOME TAX.

From the N. Y. World.
LduS Dec! For once we can use the Ian
guage of thanksgiving and congratulation on
the action of the Senate. On Friday, by the
strong vote of "a to ga two-thirds majo-
rity-the Senate struck the income tax from
the House bill. This vote is deathblow to
that odious imposition, 'hateful beyond all
others because it is unjust beyond all others" /"
The fears expressed by Senator Sherman may
prove to be well-founded, that the loss of the
income tax will defeat the whole bill; the
House having inserted the income tax by
vote of three to one But call the tears lie
in an onion" which Democrats will shed over
such a catastrophe. Whether the bill passes
or fails, the income tax is dead, dead DEAD
Readers must not confuse the repeal of tax
with its renewal. The income tax does not
need to be repealed; it suffices for its extinc-
tion that an act is not passed for its reimposi-
ton. By the law enacting it, it expires in
the year 1870 1t can be revived and con-
tinued only by the passage of new law. The
vote of the Senate on Friday renders it GER
tain that no such law win be passed. The
tax bill may, or may not, go through without
it; but it will not be passed with it, Senator
Conkling, who, to his credit, has resolutely
fought the income tax, stated that he had
information respecting the sentiments of
members of the House which led him to sup
pose that the House would not insist on this
feature of the bill.
Mr. Sherman thinks that the rejection of
the income tax makes it necessary to throw
out also the provisions relating to the tariff.
The bill purports to be bill for the reduc-
tion of taxes and if the whole revenue from
income is given up, Mr.. Sherman is of opin-
ion that the Government cannot afford to
make any reductions in the revenue from
customs. But we prefer no changes rather
than such alterations as are proposed in Mr..
Schenck's tail tariff, with its monstrous Bes-
semer steel job, telegraph wire job, nickel
job, and the other corrupt jobs sought to be
veiled under a reduction of the duties on tea,
coffee, and sugar, and the putting of certain
specified drugs in the free list. We shall be

REGISTRATION AGAIN.

The period during which the registrar is
compelled by law to admit 10 registration
parties entitled to vote, has expired, and not
Withstandinga fair registration has been offered
in this township, there are many entitled to
vote whose names have not as yet been entered
on the books. And we are sorry TO see that
many of these are young men who have just
arrived at their majority. To the young men
of the State does West Virginia especially
look for relief in her present poHerless con-
dition. You have it in your power to break
the shackles that bind her, and place the crown
of liberty upon her brow, and the young man
who fails to do his whole duty in this trying
emergency is false to his State, false to his
friends, false to himself and recreant TO every
principle of true manhood.
Although, as we have stated, the period
during which the registrar is compelled to
keep his books open has passed, yet he may,
at his discretion, retain them and register
parties until the 1st of September. Let those
then, who have not registered, make applica.
ton at once. Let no false difidence deter
you from doing your duty, but arising in your

ARREST OF VAN UNDBRDONK.
Position of Radicals upon Negro Suf-
frage.
PETERSON REFUSED REGISTRATION.

We learn from a gentleman who left Shep-
the Radical Registrar for that township, was
arrested upon information of eolored man
named Peterson, barbar, because Undertook
refused to register him.
This is the same Undertook who sometime
since called upon the colored people to come
TO the County Convention and take part in its
deliberations provided they held to the Rad
icaI faith He was then Chairman Of the
county Radical committee.
The trial of this man-if he is a man, which
we are inclined to doubt on account of his
disgraceful and cowardly retreat fom Thornp
son-will show him off in his true colors, and
will no doubt disclose, what all honest men in
this county have long since known, that the
Radical party are not the friends Of the negro.
For seven years they have held power in this
State aud no Regro has eeer been eRfronchised
6y their v0luntrIy oct. and none we're ever. or
will ever be, allowed to hold office. an this
STATE.
All these fellows want is tho vote of the
negro to keep themselves an office, and care not
what becomes of those who vote for hem
We infer that Peterson would not swallow at
one gulp the whole Court House clique, or the
Butt-end of it at Harper's Ferry, and there
fore bis rejection by this pink of the Radical
conservatory.
The most intelligent and best men among
the colored voters have declared their deter
mination not to vote for these fellows who
seek Office by tawn''g upon them for their
votes, but will exercise the God-given right
to choose for themselves. SO the Chaplines,
Englisses, Stuggses and the butt-endsrs, Davies
