Several weeks ago the Presi-
dent received a letter from a re-
liable source stating that the
writer was IN possession of facts
to the effect that colored men,
citizens of Florida, had been
kidnapped and transported into
Cuba, and there sold into slav-
cry. The writer says that mem
bers of the families of some OF
the cnslaved citizens had re-
ceived intelligence from Cuba
from their relatives stating that
they were held in bondage there,
and the matter was communi-
Gated to the President for such
action as might be deemed best
calculated to vindicate the Amer
ican dignity, in view Of proce-
dure so grossly in violation of
the civilization of the times. An
agent has been sent to Cuba to
investigate the matter.

Opposition to free ships.

John Roach, the shipbuilder,
in an argument before the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, in
opposition to The free ship clause
in the Tariff bill, maintained that
if it should become a law it
would cripple an industry Of
2,644,0CO tons Of shipping in our
coasting trade and 1,654,00O in
our foreign trade, making a to-
tai of 4, ,29S, 900 tons, valued at
s55 per ton, or s236,390, 900.
The foundries, machine shops
and rolling mills have invested
for the protection and repair of
this property s5O,o0o,O00 more,
while to man and equip this ton
mage requires 100000 men. A
large part of this business has
been built up since 1861, during
high prices for labor and mate
rial. It would be great injus-
tice to owners of this property
to allow foreigners to bring in
foreign built ships and force
down the price of labor still
further, while now thousands of
men were unable to obtain over
seven cents an hour for their
work. The few lines providing
for free ships, he SAID, struck at
larger interest than any other
in the bill.

The New York Herald says
the opinion is unanimous that
ex- Surgeon General Hammond
was unjustly treated during the
war; that his removal from Of
fee was one of those arbitrary
acts in which that period Of our
history was unfortunately only
too fruitful. Tardy justice has
however, been done him by the
Senate in restoring his name te
the army register and in remov-
ing the disqualification from
holding office under the govern
ment, which was all that he
asked in his request to reopen
his case.

Middle-class nestitution.

We have for several years ex-
perienced pretty hard times on
tins coast, and many families
that formerly enjoyed afiluencc
are now suffering the trials of
actual poverty. Everybody who
has much acquaintance can call
to mind instances of this sort,
and some of them of a very
painful character. This is due
in great measure to the abhor-
renee of this class of people to
suffer their children to learn
useful trades, which in case of
adverse fortune would furnish
them the means to not only Sc
cure for themselves but for their
parents comfortable livelihood.
All must be professional men,
and as a result our medical col
leges, theological seminaries, and
law schools are yearly turning
out graduates in such great num-
bers that the ranks of the So
called learned professions must
be more than filled. People thus
educated are too proud to do
manual labor, and are really tit
for no other, hence the destitu-
ton and pauperism which aflict
that peculiar class.
Education is a very necessary
thing to have, but it does not
necessarily follow that those
who receive it should turn their
attention to the learned protes-
sions. Why not learn some use
tul trade? The more intelligent
the man the more skillful the
mechanic, and the greater assur-
ance that his living is secured
1t is better to have a horny hand
with money in its palm, than q
soft white one without.

Jeff. Davis, through his pri-

denies having been disguised in
woman's apparel at the time of

at this late date to make people

face of the evidence already col

SATURDAY. . MARCH %, 1878
The Revv State.

The tide of immigration which
has set so strongly towards this
Territory bids fair to give us a
population by discharge enough
to entitle US, under the present
ratio of representation, to a
member OF the lower house OF
Congress. If this Should prove
TO be the fact, there will be no
difficulty in procuring the ad-
mission of the State.
The legislature having pro-
yided for convention to frame
a constitution, it should be re-
sarded as = duty by every cltl-
zen to take part in the selection
of it's members, and to await the
result of their labors before tax
ing ground against any and all
efforts to get from under the
woke of Territorial vassaiage.
That a constitution will be franz
ed for submission to the people,
which will be fully up to the
progress Of the age, we see no
good reason to doubt, and that
it will be adopted may be re-
earded as reasonably certain.
There are efforts being made
in some quarters to throw rldi-
cule upon the convention; but
these efforts come from certain
disappointed candidates for nom
nations, and cannot be regarded
as s!gn;iic:nt Of public senti-
ment. On the contrary, the
prevailing sentiment, as lar as
we are able to observe it, is
strongly in favor OF the torma-
tion of a State government, and
we believe the men wh9 are
identified with the country rs
bona fde residents will engage
IN the enterprise with an energy
that will insure SUI cess. 1t is
not, perhaps, to be wondered at,
that United States Off
would prefer the Territorial con-
dition, as the State would put
an end to their term of office,
and we must expect the chief op-
position to come from this quar-
ter. But this class Of obstruct-
ionists is very small in numbers,
and the force of their opposition
would be broken by the knowl-
edge of the interested motives
which prompt 1t.

Dispatches give accounts of

Dispatches give accounts of
the reviving of the "hazing"
process among students in Eas-
tern colleges. 1t is unquestion-
ably true that college boys mis-
behave themselves to greater
excess and extremes than do any
other classes Of youth congre-
gated togthcr. Instructors say
that many a boy who has been
a model of sobriety and decorum
at home and in preparatory
school, is no sooner within col
lege walls than he is seized with
the conviction that he must get
into some kind Of deviltry. For
the first time in life he robs ap-
pie trees, sacks hen roOsts, and
joins in horning and hazing
scrapes. The impulse lasts him
until he reaches the dignity Of
the Junior classes, and then it
ceases as suddenly as it began.
He is again transformed into the
orderly person that he was be-
fore his Freshman days, and he
continues his mild-mannertd
course through life. His lawless
career seems to be the outgrowth
of a notion that in those two
years must be compressed the
deviltry Of lifetime. Recent
events go to show that the soon
er this notion is crushed out of
college boys minds the better it
will be for them.

A Postal Savings Bill.

A Postal Savings bill prepared
by Mr.. Phillips, Of Kansas, has
been approved by a majority of
the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. 1t is believed
by sanguine friends that this
bill will pass the House by a
nearly unanimous vote. 1t will
make every money order post
Office depository for money in
sums as small as twenty-five
cents, the deposition to receive a
passbook like those given by
savings banks. When the de-
posits by one person amount to
ten dollars or any multiple OF
ten dollars he is entitled to re-
ceivc bond fer that amount to
be entered in his passbook as a
debit to offset the same amount
of credits. These bonds are to
range from ten dollars to one
hundred dollars in even multi
pies Of ten up to fifty. The rate
of interest is to be 3 65-100 per
cent. that particular rate being
adopted for convenience of cal
culation, since the interest on a
one hundred dollar lond will be
exactly one cent per day. These
bonds are to be cXchangeable at
the pleasure Of the holder for
regular four per cent. bonds oi
the government; but in this
form the government is to take
no special superintendent OF
them. Bat the holders OF the
3 65-100 bonds and of passbooks
in which sums are entered can
draw money from the post-otfice
very much as depositors do from
savings banks. OF course the
sums which are merely entered
in the passbooks will bear no in
terest. A special form Of legal
tender Treasury notes is to be
issued for redeeming the new
bonds at the money order post
offices.
If the system Of postal saw
ings is once adopted it will be
SO popular and beneficent that II
will never be abandoned; and il
this bill becomes a law it will
prove to be the wisest and most
salutary act which Congress has
passed in a long period. 1t will
encourage habits of saving ev-
erywhere and create them in
large districts where savings
banks do not exist. The abso
lutte safety Of the deposits will
relieve the laboring classes Of
all anxiety respecting their mon.
ey, and the perfect sense Of Sc
curity will cultivate more and
more the disposition to save.

LONDON, March 16.-The Times in
an editorial says: On Monday the
Russians occupied several villages
around Constantinople and took
possession of a point on the edge of
the most northerly plateau, running
down towards the entrance of the
Bosphorus. The small forts which
command the entrance lie directly
at the foot of the position thus oc-
cupied, and these forts are open on
the land side. The Russians have
power to march in at any moment
and close the Black Sea. As our
Vienna correspondent observes:
Such q movement does not seem
calculated to dispel the apprehen-
sions maintained that though there
may not be secret treaty, a tacit
understanding has been established
with Turkey which may involve ar
rangements most material to the de-
cision of the other powers. 1t is to
be presumed the terms of the treaty
will provide for the evacuation of
all Roumelia and consequently
any position now held near Constan.

established herself on the Bospho-
rus. Not only is there nothing in
recent movements of the British to
Justify this advance. but there is
little doubt it must have been adop-
ted prior to these movements and
independently of them. 1t would
have been difficult for Russia to
adopt course less likely to concili-
ate the good will of Europe or this
country.

gress will assemble, it is not very
likely to be successful if it does.
England and Austria are accused OF
being animated not by mere desire
to protect their legitimate and mate
rial interests but by jealousy OF the
military and diplomatic success OF
Russia. They are supposed there
fore to be desirous of diminishing.
as far as possible, the consequences
of a war. Russia, it is stated, will
declare, though she is willing to
have such questions as that of the
straits discussed, the conditions she
has already signed are the minimum
of what she has a right and determi-
nation to demand. A diminution of
results of the war being thus impos-
sible, England will seek to increase
them by demanding an extension of
Greece, but the effect CT this will be
to break the last link of English al
lance with Turkey, and the sultan
will then recognize Russia as his
surest ally. That these wild notions
should be seriously entertained by
persons of authority in the Russian
capitol indicates a condition Of mind
by no means favorable to satisfac-
tory conclusion of the present nego-
tiations. The terms of the peace
may prove an agreeable surprise,
but Russia is not assisting Europe
