EMANCIPATION IN PORTO RICo.

The Ministry of Ruiz Gorilla have hppa-
rently resolved to enter boldly in the path of
reform which they marked out for themselves
at the time Of their formation. They sub
mitted to the Cortes on Tuesday bill for
the abolition of Slavery In Porto Rico, which,
if we may Judge from the meager telegraphic
abstract which reaches us this morning, 10 a more
sincere and radical measure than any which
has preceded it, and indicates genuine in
teution on the part of tho Government to put
an end to the institution in tho lesser
Antilla 1t is perhaps not yet safe to indulge
in any congratulations over this event. We
have grown only too familiar with ministerial
and even legislative action in Madrid which
has led to no practical result But we have
never seen measure introduced into the
National Congress which ia so fair In promise
as the present.
ALI slaves are to be set free within four
months from the PRONUNCIATION of the law.
This is great advance upon the MOret propo-
sition of two years ago, which was simply de-
risive in its proyisos and reservations. That
measure was so slow and gradual in operation
that few slaves now living would profit by it.
It left so much to the discretion of che Colo.
NAL authorities that 1t was practically nullified
by them. 1t divided the slave population into
classes 30 skillfully that only the cradle and the
grave were made free, the robust men OF mid
die age being the last to whom freedom
was to be granted. Tho present bill is said to
provide compensation for the slave-owners. at
what rate is not stated. This was o point In
regard to which there Was some anxiety, as
during the debate on Monday, Senior Diaz
asked for information as to the intentions OF
the Government in that regard. 1t is true
that Cuba is not included in the emancipa.
ton, but tho effects of the measure cannot
but DO powerfully felt in the larger
Island, especially as the Government are de-
termined to prevent the evasion of the
law by Itransportations of blacks from
Porto Rico to Cuba. There is certain guar
antee Of sincerity in the very names OF the
present Ministry. They are, ss rule, honest
men. There 10 less narrow selfishness IN

hyorgER POSSIBLE REPUBLIC.

By tho death of Kamehamehs V. the Ha-
waian throne becomes vacant. Kamehameha
was the fifth and last of line OF able chief
tains under whose rule the Sandwich Islands,
once peopled by distinct and warning tribes.
have been gradually redeemed from heathen-
ism and savagery. What the missionaries
have accomplished for the politics and morals
of the Hawaiisns is an oft-told tale.
The transition of the little kingdom
from the darkness and cruelty Of bar

one of the marvels of the Nineteenth Century.
