resolution through declaring it to be the opinion OF the
House that is not wise expedent. or for the benen

resolution on the table. His motion was lost Dy VOte

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-02-03

We print in another column the views of
the distinguished German traveller, DR.. Gus
tav Schweinfurth, on the engrossing topic of
African slavery and the slave trade. Having
spent several years in African exploration, per-
haps no other European is better qualified to
enlighten the world on the multifor,n enor-
mites of that cruel system which annually
robs Central Africa of its population by the
hundred thousand. He has given the HERALD
correspondent black portraiture of the infa-
nous trade whose suppression has been de-
creed by the common voice of humanity. Ac-
cording to his impressions it is next to impos-
sible to put an end to the buying and selling
of human beings without first removing from
the earth the widely extended religion of
Islam, which seems inseparably impregnated
with the idea that there are natural divisions
of men into superior and servile classes, the
one born to obey the commands of the other.
This doctrine, so repulsive to the teachings Of
Christianity, is 10 be expunged from the creed
Of Mohammed, or that creed itself must give
way before the force of universal brotherhood.
Such is the conviction Of the best men Of

Snow storm In England and Ter

Snow storm In England and Ter
rible Gale ON the Coasts OF Britain.
Our kilograms from London, published in
the HERALD to-day, afford melancholy evidence
Of the facts that we have entered on one
Of the most stormy seasons Of the year, and
that the February of 1873 has already given
sad reassertion Of the invincibility Of
problem that the month so far enjoys a
force and power of bluster equal to-sur-
passing, indeed, it is said-that of its most rude
predecessors ON the calendar. The British
islands were visited by one of the most violent
storms on record during the hours which
passed from the night of Saturday, the LIST in
slant, to the morning moments of yesterday.
Snow came down to an extraordinary depth in
London and the rural shires of England.
The fall laid six inches in the streets of the
great metropolis at daybreak yesterday, and
the drifts were many feet in depth in the
country of the extreme north. City travel was
almost suspended in London. "Cabbie" &C
knowledged himself vanquished. He was
forced to retreat to the shelter of the beer
shops, and there left to ruminate over the
merits of 'alf and 'alf and the uncertainties
of atmospheric phenomena, and of fares,
according to his rule of most unamiable philo-
sophy. A wind storm of unusual violence
ragged around the British and Irish coasts
Many shipwrecks have occurred 1t is
though. that fearful loss of life will be re-
ported. Sad tidings have been received,
indeed, already. Several vessels, which are
named in Our dispatches, were driven ashore
and wrecked and many persons are known to
have been drowned. The visitations of the
people have been very severe even at this
early portion of the new year, but if they are
accepted as coming from a Hand which
chasteneth man for his ultimate good they
bring with them, even ia the moment of
present pain, consolation for the evils which
they may infiict.

"The Final Issue with Utah Can.
not be Avoided"

These were the significant words of Presi-
dent Grant to delegation of representatives
and HERALD correspondent at the White
House on Saturday. The delegates from
Idaho and Montana, accompanied by General
Negley, of Pennsylvania, sought the inter-
view with the President to represent the
''terrible condition of affairs in Utah" and to
request that he would give it his speedy atten-
ton. They represented, what is generally
known to be true, that the Mormon Church
ia despotism and Brigham Young despot !;
