THE REPORTED UNSUCCESSFUL SoRTIE FROM
BELFoRr reminds us that that fortress Is the
last stronghold remaining in possession Of tho
French situated in that part Of France originally
belonging to Germany. It is not likely that
Belfort will be captured easily, as the French
had ample time to provision and garrison the
place before the investment. The fortiGca-
tions are all of modern construction, well
armed and naturally strong. Except by the
slow process Of starvation or gradual up
proaches Belfort cannot be taken. OF course
voluntary surrender would be different
thing, but that is scarcely probable.

Tho Africans or the Slave Trading Wan
derer.
We published yesterday very interesting
despatch from Washington relative to the
Africans of the SLAYER Wanderer. It was
intended that these poor creatures should be
landed at Cuba but a United States war
vessel cruising off that island overhauled and
captured the Wanderer, finding the condition
of its human cargo such as to render it neces-
sary to make for the nearest port-that Of
Savannah. Before President Buchanans
Instructions that il should be brou sht into
some Northern port could be complied with
lawless gang boarded the SLAYER by night and
hurried the Africans off towards the Gulf dis
triouting them on plantations in the interior Of
the country. This created great excitement
throughout the United States in 1859, but the
search which was instituted for the kidnapped
victims proved unavailng, and subsequently,
during the excitements Of our civil war, they
were entirely lost sight Of Two years ago,
however, the Rev. Mr.. Phillips, missionary
of the Southern Baptist Convention, who had
just returned from Yoruba, in Central Africa,
was addressing a congregation Of colored
people in Mobile, and took occasion to repeat
the Lords Prayer in the Yoruba language. A
group Of negroes in the back part Of the house
broke out into shouts of delight, which the
preacher mistook as indications of religious
fervor until, at the end of his dis course, they
came thronging around him and spoke to him
IN their African tongue. They told him that
they were part of the company carried off from
the Wanderer and described their being am
bushed and seized while on trading tour to
some towns west Of Abeckuta, by Dahomey
slave hunters, who carried them to the coast,
near Porto Nevo, and sold them to the traders
on board the Wanderer. It seems that since
they were stolen again at Savannah and scat
tered in the country several Of them had
gradually come together and had settled in
Mobile, forming a little community by them
selves They have become Christians, and
are represented to be thrifty and enterprising,
and, moreover, extremely anxious to be sent
back to their native land.
The administration at Washington appears
to be puzzled as to what to do with them, now
that their emancipation is one Of the results Of
the war. But to our mind the case Is per-
fectly clear, inasmuch as the stipulations of
the treaty between the nations engaged in the
suppression Of the slave trade expressly re-
quired, If we are not mistaken, that recaptured
Africans should be restored to their homes.
The matter OF time does not affect the case at
all, and the treaty stpulations are still in full
force. 1t is true, however, that being now
free, and having been here long enough to
know whether they wish to remain or not,
they cannot be compelled to return to Africa.

Tue FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT AGAIN


Tue FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT AGAIN
--Congrcss has been a, work making an
obnoxious law to enforce the Fifteenth
amendment. The Senate ignored the
House bill, and on Friday morning, after
a continuous session of eighteen hours,
passed bill Of such stringent character
,ha, i, is not acceptable - the author of
the original measure which passed the

concurrence will be probable. One Of
The remarkable features Of the BILLS con.
taincd in the eighth section, which gives
the United States marshals the power to
call on the land and naval forces Of the
United States to assist them in case Of
resistance. Even Republican members
Of the House declare that this provision
is such a palpable violation of the cons'i
sutton that they will not vote for it, A
modified bill, merely imposing pains and
penalties for preventing negroes from
voting, is likely to come out Of this d'sa-
greemcnt between the two Houses.

A new bill has been agreed upon by

mission of Georgia, says the Republicans
Washington special. 1t is a mere copy
of the bill passed in the cases of Virginia
and Texas, with an additional provision
repeating SO much Of the army appropria.
ton bill of 1867 as prohibits an organi
zation of the militia in the unrecon
structed states. This bill, therefore, ad.
mits the State at once, and leaves the
question of. the tenure of the Legislature
an open one to be settled in the State and
not in Congress, and gives Gov. Bullock
the power to organize State militia. II
will be noticed that it is an entire substi.
tute for tho Senate bill. When this is
reported to the House Gen. Farpsworth
intends to offer q substitute, providing
for the immediate admission of the State
and declaring that this act shall not BE-
construed so as 10 prohibit the people Of
Georgia from electins a new Legislature
