ABOLITION OF.ETHE SLAVE
TRADE IN TURKEY.

The abolition of the slave trade by
the Sultan of Turkey throughout his do
minions was "a unexpected measure,
and it is sure to be said that it was done
in order to coueihate the good will of
the Christian states on which.he iesikely
to depend for the existence of his en-
pire. But all friends of their race will
rejoice at VIA! has been done, and give
the Sultan the credit of trying to stop
the most prolific source of misery and
degradation hitherto existing in the
world. The Providence Journal says
that the traffic in slaves has been of late
carried on ty subjects of the Ottoman
Porte more extensively thon by any
other people on the face of the earth.
1t is Turkish power that has maintained
or protected this traffic over a large
portion of the continent OF Africa,
and by means of its possessions in
Asia, has given ii q legaiized protection
almost as wide as the domain of the
Mohammedan religion. Travellers who
have Penetrated into Africa from Egypt
and traversed its eastern coasts, have
long reported the universal prevalence of.
this most brutal traffic. 1t leads TO in
cessant wars among the interior tribes,
and excludes or represses every other
kiod of commerce with foreign copn-
tries. It's tff5ctual abolition and SUP
preston ly the Sultan will do more than
airy other step which has ever been ta-
ken to arrest the degradation of the
tribes Of esntraLDad eastern Africa, and
to render this Improvement possible.
Hitherto their only occupation has BEEN
to capture and sell s'a~es for the imam
cradle markets of the Tnrkish en- rire.
With this traffic effeetually suppressed
and destroyed, there will be at least 3
possibility of introducing humanizing
commerce and of promoting some civil
izing agencies among these benighted
and degraded populations.

The Montpelier J0urnqZ, speaking of
that zeal recently found IL Otter Creek,
says:
How this seal came TO make its home
a thousand miles from its breeding
ground, is, of course, conjecture. II
seems probable that il came during the
winter or carly spring of 1873, as when
the ice was upon lake and river II would
seem 10 be more likely to stray away
and lose its hearings.
Ra her than have the Journal rack its
oVertasked brain any further we will in
form it, coDfdentiaDy, that the seal was
one of Barnum's; that il died when the
great Snowman was en- route TO this CITY,
last summer that it was at once thrown
away, and that it was not killed by any
body on Otter Creek, but was as dead as
julius Cs ar when hunter found il
there-Fres Press

THE people are getting tired of I'll

THE people are getting tired of this
pettifogging about ineligible electors.
The New York Herald says that the
plain intention of the people must rule.
in the matter. In Oregon, az in this
State, the people who gave q Republican
majority, clearly meant to choose the
Republican body of electors. In fact
they cast their votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. In New Haven, Conn.,, some
forty years ago, q lawyer named Jona-
than Stoddard endeayored to seize upon
the office of grand juror. Jonathan
brought the matter before the court,
claiming that as the. candidate who re,
ceived the majority of the votes was
not eligible, he was himself elected to
office by q minority vote. Chief Justice
Church having heard the whole matter
through, said. quite fareastically, .tWho-.
ever else the peopie- ri. New Haven in-
tend to elect as q grand juror, they did
not intend to elect Jonathan. stoddard.",
Ih-this State and in Oregon the people
did not intend 10 elect Tilden President
of the United States. : :. :.

THE Washington correspondence Of
the Boston .1cAr,aal says that George II.
Butler, nephew Of Gen. 3. F. Butler, is
authority for the statsmept that at a
secret meeting of leading D mocrats in
New York, IL was proposed to retain The
legal services: OF 6 .. Butler in the inn
pending canvass OF The electoral vote in
Congrrgs. ;, Gtofge. Butler: says "A
lawyer cannetIe ! Se a fee :tenGered him
in good faith and Gen. Butler Is law
yer, not a politiciah, until the meeting
OF the next Congress. Thetr plan was
said to have been that of Governor Tit-
den himself, who looked at it simply
from legal point of view, and Recorder
Hackett remarked that professional ETH
quetts and custom would not permit
Gen. Butler TO refuse the retainer. That
would be queer result of our electoral
puzzle. The Republican leader helping
to install the president he did his utmost
to defeat, and would doubtless cheerful
" impeach in the political future" ..
Gen. Butler is very fond of excitement
and as he will net enter Congress again
for a year it would not be strange if he
should take part on one side or the 9th
err in the contest over the canvass of
votes in Congress if he gets a chance.

THE following is significant extract
from the proceedings of Congress on the
9th of April, 1910: "The Speaker and
the members of the House of Represen-
tatives attended 10 the Senate chamber
and the president elected for the pur-
pose of counting the votes declared that
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives had met, and that he IN their pres
ence had opened and counted the g0tes Of
the electors for President and Vice Pres
ident of the United States, which were
as follows. (Here follows list of the
votes by States.) Whereby it appears
that George Washington, Esq, was
elected President and John Adams, Esq,
Vice President of the United States"
The first counting of the electoral votes
is regarded as an important precedent
because it was done while the canstitu-
ton and the discussion which attended
its adoption were fresh in the recolEee-
tioH of Congress, aud because it v g.
done in part by men who had share in
the making Of the constitution. This
first precedent is in support of the theo-
ry that whStever is done in the matter,
tue counting as well as the opening of
the votes, must be done by the president
of the Senate, .-..... -..... ..s....

decision of all these questions. If they

tia, they cannot speak.
