slavery In CHba.

Possibly there was more CJngratulatiOn
over the abolition Of slavery ia Porto Rico
than the fact deserved. American newspa-
pers hailed the passage Of the emancipation
act by the Spanish Corte. as an evidence
that the new Republic was bent on following
out the principle Of freedom TO all men under
its rule TO its legitimate end. IL was conf
IDENTIFY predicted that the next thing done
would be the extirpatlon Of slavery In Cuba.
But II we compare the circums tances existing
on the two islands, we shall find that freeing
the slaves in Porto Rico was a comparatively
small matter in comparison with the task Of
emancipation in Cuba.
Porto Rico is only about One-twellth Of the
sizc Of Cuba, but it ha. nearly onc-half as
much population as the latter, while the
number of is slave population scarcely ex-
ceeded thirty thousand. The whole island
is divided up into small estates, upon which
the great majority Of laborers are and long
have been free. 1t will be an easy matter,
therefore, to transfer TO the same condition
the few newly freed men, while there is no
waste land upon which they can squat and
live in idleness, the only alternative before
them being 10 work or starye. In Cuba, ON
the other hand, only one-tenth Of the land is
under cultivation, and that chiefly in large
estates or plantations, where a very compli-
Gated system Of labor and machinery and a
large amount Of capital are employed. The
planters allege that, under these citcum-
stances, any kind o. immediate emancipation
will for o time throw the labor system Of the
island into confusion and destroy production.
The number Of slaves IL somewhere between
80, 900 and 375, 900, although the Spaniards
put It much higher. 50 shameful has the
slave trade been kept up, In spite Of Spanish
laws 10 the contrary, that IL 10 said fully one

New Type-Setting Machine.

A pair Of machines for setting and distrib-
utng type, novel to this country, are at work
in the composing-rOom of the Christian Union,
No. q Park place. They are strongly con-
structed, simple, and accurate in operation,
and may best be described by following the
types through the process in both machines.
Beginning with the distributor, the type, as
taken from the presses, is laid in takes" in
an adjustable case, before which sits the
operator at a keyboard. a lever lifts the
first line Of the matter to a platform where it
is pressed steadily to the left by a spring.
The operator reads the line and touches in
order the keys corresponding to each letter,
striking each off from the form" and open
ing at the same time passage through which
each is guided. A series Of fiat tin tubes,
Just large enough to hold the type. is laid
horizontally below, and to each Of these, by
series of diverging grooves, opened or closed
by the action of the keys, the types pas.

tubes are arranged vertically and in two
sets, one perhaps for Roman, and another
for italcs and small caps, for each OF which
there is keyboard. The operation OF set

keep three distributors busy if necessary.
As the tubes and grooves are fitted to the
types, a change Of font is, of course, impos-

(while Tay lor and Cass were candidates for
the Presidency and occupied n room to-
Sether at the Willard Hotel. one evening,
seated by the same tiresde, Mr.. Davis read
aloud from political letter of Gen. Taylor,
and made running comments for Mr. Footc',

rather too friendly for n Democratic Senator
to give expression to in the heat of a can
vass. In fact, he intimatcd quite strongly
that he thought Mr.. Davis, ut heart, was a
Taylor man; that spite of his protested
support of the Democratic nominee he would
secretly rejoice over Gen. Taylor's election.
Mr.. Davis had married daughter of Gen.
Taylor, and this little circumstance, Mr..
FOote suggested, was ut the bottom of his
colleague y compliment of the letter, adding,
in his impetuous way, that it would doubtless
be a very nice thing, after all, to be a sou-n-

castle intimation Of trcachcry ON his part,
and rctOrted in severe language, one word
bringing on another until the grave and
reverend came To blows. The noise of the

The Bankrupt LAWS it C0nstitu
tiQnal

For some time past there has been
going on y discussion between the Rich.
mond Dispatch and the Raleigh Neus
relative to the constitutionality of the
Amendatory Bankrupt Act. Wa copied
portion Of roae Of the Necs' earlier
articles. Below we reprint the Dis.
pdtch's reply to position tax en- by n
contributor to the Ne,os. The Neps
seems nearly to agree with the Dispatch
At least it speaks Of not having full
confidence in the constitutionalty of the
act
The Dipatch's argument is that the
anne Idatory act is unconstitu tional, in
that it does not establish a uniform
Bankrupt law. 'This nniiormity," says
the Dispatch, "nust either be derived
from the fact that it respects the State
laws, or tho fact that it fixes the amount
itself" TRe amount here refers to the
exemptions allowed the bankrupt.
The Dispatch says
At present we have ieIt few words
to say, aad these are upon the following
statement in the article in the Neps /:
But tho Dispatch denies tlnt Con
gress, in the act of NJ ,rch 8, 1872, did
more than attempt, "by authorization
and ratifcatiou," to give effect to the
