GOVERNOR nowIEls WORDS.

The bondholders agree with Gov. Bowie,
who in special message 10 the legislature
in 1870, said Of the canal at stands in
melancholy contrast with its great and pow
erful contemporary, the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, q monument Of The radical error OF
its past administration, and admonishes us OF
OF the necessity OF divorcing all great works
of internal improvements from the blasting
influence Of politics if we would have them
judcously, economically, honestly and sue.
cessfully administered. When il is
borne in mind that the bondholdee-, by their
timely advances, were tempted to come for
ward and rescue from total loss the State,
&c, il y impossible that gentlemen having
the honor and the interest of their STATE TO
preserve and protect can turn deaf ear to
this application for relief That relief, the
success OF the canal and the advancement OF
the large interest of the State Of Maryland
in this great work, eau only be attained
by removing its management FROM the field
OF politics and the lands of politicians. .
As the canal ls now managed, the Board of
Pebble works, changing every two years, the
direction o! the canal changes with it, Their
interest is partizan, and they for the most
part represent partizan interests. The evils
in its management are, first, partizan control,
and second, constant change of administra-

MANAGEMENT OF THE SUIT.

IT is stated that no objection can be made
to the bringing of the suit into the United
States Court, MS the first preferred bondhold-
ers are non.residents, located in different Sec
tons of Maryland, in Virginia, and also in
the District Of Columbia. 1t is understood
that the COUNSEL having the matter in charge
are Messrs. Marshall 4 Fisher, johnson & Poe,
Archibald Stirling, Jr., and George Bryan OF
Richmond. The Baltimore lawyers are among
the first attorneys in this city. Immediately
after the bill is filed, the officers of the Ohesa-
peake and Ohio Canal will be served with i,
notice TO show cause why receiver should
not be appointed for the company, as prayed
for. The hondholders say that all they de-
sire is To have the canal managed on business
principles, and not AS political machine

How and When African Slaves Were
Imported into the United States. j.
From the Boston Commonwealth.

A friend of ours, in making some in
vestigat!0ns, was desirous of learning the
best opinion as to the number Of African
slaves imported into the United States,
from whom our present colored popua-
tion have mostly descended, aud wrote to
Mr.. Garrison for his Judgment in the
matter. He received in reply the fol-
lowing letter: 'aGcf
RoYBURY, March 10, 1879.
DEAR SIR-I should have answered
you. letter at an earlier date but for va
ri5us engagements. In regard to the
number of slaves brought from Africa to
this country have never seen any re-
cord, and it is not probable that any was
ever made. At the time of the procla-
nation of American Independence it was
computed that 100000 had been i'm
ported; but during the Revolutionary
struggle the traffic must have been very
limited. On the adoption of tho United
States Constitution that traffic was legal
lied for term of 20 years, and, thence
forth was as regularly pursued as any
other branch of commerce. and almost
exclusively by New England ship-owners
Bristol and Newport, r. l., taking the
lead, The South furnishing II ready mar
ket for the victims.
The invention of Whitney's cotton gin,
in 1898, made the cultivation of cotton
(up to that period of no accountl the alb
sorbing interest of the planters, and gave
powerful impetus to the African slave
trade, "h;ch continued 10 be actively
prosecuted until the year 1903, when Il
was prohibited by an act of Congress,
under specified penalties. The act, how
ever, was not enforced. In 1920 Con
gress made the trade piracy, and, thus
branded, it was pursued with ieas daring,
and good deal curtailed, though but
one ship-master was ever convicted and
executed, believe. But, up to the time
of the Southern rebellion, African slave
traders continued to smuggle their vic
!. :..diS into tie extreme Southern porib
but the demand of. the planter for fresh
stock was largely met by Maryland and
Virginia as slave-breeding States, and
against the domestic traffic there was no
law of the land. 1
Doubtless from the commencement to
the end of the dreadful traffic, more than
a million of kidnapped Africans were
brought to these shores, to be followed by
the most terrible judgments upon this
guilty nation. Very. truly ynurs, .,.,..,

THE LAsTiARMED SoLDIER.-A man
who had the appearance of having just
awakened from sleep of twelve or fif-
teen years, arrived in the city last week,
on his way South. He claims to be ma

crate soldier in the late war, and since
the close OF hostilities to have lived in
Massachusetts,. His clothes were ragged
ii the extreme, aud looked as though the
pieces had hardly strength to hold to-
gether. The stranger carried with him
the musket that he had borne through
the war, rusty and timeworn, and on his
back and side were strapped his knapsac.,
and cartridge box. He says he is the last
armed soldier of the Confederacy, and
that he is now tramping from Massachu-
sets to his old home in Georgia, which
he has not seen for many year. Though
his naked skin could bo seen in many
places through his rugged clothing, and
his soiled beard reached down to his
waist. the niau-by his cons ,rsation-

GOVERNMENTS LAST ABOUT FIVE
HUNDRED IEARs.-The following is an
extract from late sermon of the Rev,
David Swing, of Chicago
AZ nations do not rise in day, so in
a day they cannot be ovcrlhrown. There
are some singular records in history. 1t
seems that great nation cannot turn on
its axis IN ore than once in 400 or 500
years. Some Of the old States lie outsid e
the bounds of history; but those inside
.hesc bounds slow great Uniformity in
making the time of radical changes in
dynasty. Egypt was under shepherd
kings about $40 years. Her golden age,
when she so iourished in art, spread
over 800 years. The Hebrew republic
ran from Moses to King Dnvid-50O
years; and then came the empire to en-
ter upon 500 or 800 years OF success.
The glory of Greek liberty covered about
500 years. Rome enjoyed all the splen-
dor of republic for the same strange Pc
riod-4oZ years. Thus, between Cincin-
natus, the farmer President, and the
overthrow of the republic by Cesar and
Antony, there intervened the magical
five centuries. Spain and France and
Germany, formed out of new countries
which followed the breaking up of the
western empire, are row living well and
happily in the 400th year of their separate
lives. These statements are sufficiently
truthful at least to assure us that those
great st ara which we cal! nations" can
neither be placed in the sky in a day nor
in day be blotted from the galaxy.
Behold through what turmoils France
has come! The atheist and communist
assailed her. Napoleon drained her of
men and money by wars of ambition.
Other revolutions came. Then came the
usurpation of Napoleon, then the German
war with defeat and fine of 81 COO, 600,
600; and yet TO to-day france comes
ont of those commoiions a wise and
powerful republic. ysa
