The chances are that there Is not one

Senator CoNKLISG, who is thus assailed,
that the President, now that the scandal

EMIGRATION TO AFRICA,

Years ago, when slave ships were plying
between Africa and this country, bringing
TO our shores cargoes of human beings un-
der the shackles of slavery, the tales Of suf-
tcring that were revealed as feature of that
traffic were narrowing and revolving to CIV
ilized and Christinnizedl humanity. Since
then slavery has been wiped out as an
American institution, but its spirit still
lives, where the people clung to it with q
grasp that was not broken until the events
of a war waged in its behalf tore it loose
and set the people free. In that struggle it
was question whether the nation should
live and slavery die, or that slavery should
be perpetuated and the Republic fall as the
event of the issue. But right triumphed,
aud wrong was crushed into the earth. The
nation lived and slavery died.
But now that the form of slavery has be-
come extinct its spirit survives The col
ored race are nominally free, but their
former masters seem now to be deeply alb
sorbed with the problem: what shall be done
with the freedmenP They seem to have
come to the deliberate conclusion that they
must either be extermnatcd OH American
soil OF be sent back to the African coast, to
| take their chances with q people from
whom their ancestors were taken under the
system of an inhuman slave trade. Both
expedients have been resorted to in South
Carolina, and under the emigration policy
cargo, $50 negroes, was shipped on board
of the ship Azor, which sailed on last
Easter Sunday, and arrived at Sierra Leone,
Africa, on the 10Th of May. The report of
the arrival Of this cargo of emigrants
is attended by narrative which
to some extent recounts the inhumanitics
of the slave trade. The ship was not pro-
vidcd with a competent physician-it had
an insufficient supply Of water, and the
cmigYants were huddlcd between decks
with but few accommodations. The
mcascls first broke out aud then the ship
fever These. together with marked mis-
management, which was either the result
of gross ignorance or intentional neglect,
took of twenty-five of the cmigrants dur
ing the passage. If this is specimen of
colorcd emigration, that people may as well
remain here and fight it out rs they best

WE have no opinion to urge as TO the
merits or dement's of the civilians ,nomi-
mated by the President rs Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, but. it is undoubt-
edly the constitutional duty OF the Senate
to consider these appointments with studL
ous care, for the wise and just government
of 10000 people depends upon their pecu-
liar fitness for n proper discharge Of the
duties of the important trust. There is no
doubt that these officials should in marked
degree represent the business interests, and
he in sympathy with the people to be gov
erned by their rule. II the Senate shall
come to the deliberate conclusion that the
President has misiudged the case,
and that the nominees are not strictly in
accord with public sentiment and interest,
it has the power and the right to correct any
mistake the appointing power may have
made under amisapprehension of duty. 1t
should not be regarded as an act of dscour-
tesy toward the President if the Senate
should correct any error that it may think
the Executive has made, for its rcvisory
powers were created for this very purpose
when the Constitution provided for its ad-
vice and consent in all such cases. The inn
portanCc OF this question would seem to de-
mand Of the Senate that it shall regard the
public welfare as paramount to all other

the Hon. CLARRsoN is trying to throw at

the assumption that the war is supposed to
have affirmed the power of the General
Government to settle for itself "the things"
OF any locality, it will be admitted that
this was dangerous and seditious doctrine
for the young men to whom he spoke. The
things he alluded to were, of course,
such things as slavery, now past and gone,
and the rights of citizens under the consti-
tutional amendments, which are now jcop-
ardized and denied to the blacks in many
of the Southern States. But this doctrine,
