To n, Edffor OF The TrtoNne.
SIR: Not unworthily indeed the Amazon has
been termed "the Mediterranean Of the New
World Only after floating days upon days over
its majestic tide does reach conception OF Its
yastness. 1t is in fact an immense water basin,
rather than river or system Of rivers that drains
the best portion of five Republics and of colossal
Empire. The area actually covered by the waters
of the Amazon is estimated at 10000 square
miles and this figure increases at least
Inv a fourth during fiOod-time. or as 1t
is called there, the wet season. The channel
through which the Amazonan waters flow for over
O 900 miles is so deep as to have suggested to the
wondering imagination of the earlier navigators
only one epthet-fathomless At Obidos its depth
is forty fathoms; at other points 1t reaches the
marvellous depth of seventy fathoms. Half million
of cubic feet of water pour every second through
the narrows of Obdos and with such force does the
Amazon enter the ocean 600 miles below, that fresh
water may be lifted from the bosom of the Atlantic
at distance which renders it impossible to descry
land on any side. Eighteen OF its tributaries are
themselves rivers of the first magnitude, and several
of these are over 1000 miles in length. But vast
a. are these tributary streams" fifty remarks Or

Amazon: they are lost like brooks In the ocean
The Madeira alone, with its great affluents Ma
more Benz Itenez and Gaupore carries at mean
level over four hundred thousand cubic feet OF
water per second through an extent of over 5000
miles; vet this huge contribution is imperceptlble
half way across the river. The Mississippi poured

1t WAS supposed that the question of slavery
in this country was dead and buried out OF sight
forever, but case involving the right to hold
slaves has recently been disposed Of by the U.
g. Circuit Court in Tennessee, and the decision
certainly appears to be singular one to the
mind not versed in law, at-least j. C. Birmlng-
ham, q citizen OF Lauderdale county, Tenn, per-
sisted in holding, as slaves, two colOred girls
"because he had owned their mother ami they
were born on his place." His neighbor5 remon-
strated against the outrage, but the man refused
to hear all reason, and not long ago he was
indicted by the u s. grand jury. Judge Ham,
mond, when the case came before the court,
quaShed the Indictment, holding that the act of
Congress against kidnapping or carrying away
any person to sell him into slavery cannot apply
to anybody holding, or pretending to hold, a
person in slavery, because since abolition there
can be no slaves. This action of the court was
surprise to the tndg nant neighbors of Birming
ham, who have given him notice that they
intend TO take the question before the state
courts. The constitution of that state, no
doubt like all the Others adopted since the war,
forbids slavery in any form, and 1t is probable
that there is also statute prohibiting it, This
decision Of Judge Hammood seems to warrant
the conclusion that a man may hold slaves pro.
vided he did not "k1dnap" them.

The bill offered by Senator Morgan the other
day to declare forfeited and restore to the public
domain the vast bodies of land heretofore condi-
tionally granted by Congress to certain railroad
and telegraph companies. but not earned by
them In accordance with the terms of their re-
spective charters, ought to become law at
once. The amount Of land so held by various
corporations is roundly estimated at 1870, 900 900
acres. For this immense territory nothing has
ever been given or performed by those who now
assume to own it. They hold it by sufferance
only, trusting to the good nature or negligence
OF those administering the government from
time to time to allow them to retain it without
returning an equivalent therefor There can
therefore be no legal objection or business hard
ship In requiring them to relinqutsh all claim to
1t and throw it open to settlers On the ether
hand, every public interest would be subserved
by that course. The day for valuable subsidies
in land grants bonds and money to JobbIng cor
porations has gone by. 1t Is time now that a
little consideration should be given to hard
working artisans and tillers of the soil by the
law-mak1ng powers.
