corroborating proofs are daily increasing

i Washington special to the ST Loui4Pe
! PUttiean says
Senator Harlans statement, through his
| Cdr0njc}e newspaper here in commenting
upon MIR. GreeIey's Portland speech. that
there was no constitutional prohibition in
the way of compromising States for the loss
| OF slaves, and that the fourteenth amend
| ment only stood in the way of individual
| claimants, has attracted wide attention
| here among constitutional lawyers. At the
time OF the adoption of this amendment
| Harlan was member OF ,J0hns0n's Cabinet,
| and he was also a member of the Senate
| during a portion OF the time that the re-
construction amendments were under dis
cusFlon. "Ihese facts are entitled,' he

Senator Harlan on this particular
question, which viii be handed to
the latter for publication tomorrow. The
Judge takes the ground that in view Of the
restriction imposed by tire fourteenth
amendment, Congress and all the LegisIa-
tures combined can not pay any claim for
the emancipation of any slave, 10 matter
who is to be benefited by the payment, and
concludes as follows:
: bat | mention the fact to tell you plain
ly, that when, as the immediate organ of
President Grant, you tell the public that
there is no reason why Congress may not
vote to the States in trust for the late slave
0wners-if yon mean auything-the value
OF tine slaves emancipatcd. you expose the
country to great agitation, 10 matter who
shall be President and who shall control
Congress. AS already intjmated, their num-
beTs were 100000, and their value as chat
tells was 1900, 100000. When YOU say that
they owe their emancipation, rot to Pr0vi-
denco and the blood and treasure of every
class, but to what remains of the Repub
