THE VALUE OF SLAVES.
Claim that the Government ls Mnde Liza
bic for slnve Property 10 Texas.

The st. Louis Globe asserts that par
"a in Texas will soon begin suit IN
tbe Court of Claims, at Washington, to
recover the value OF slaves emancipated
hiring the late war. The action will be
based chiefly on certain clauses OF the
State Constitution which were approved
and endorsed by Congress at the time OF
tbe annexation Of Texas, and which, 1t
is claimed, make the United States
Government liable for slave property.
The plaintiff in the cose was pro.
nonnced Union man during the war, and
fine nroposed action is endorsed and will
be pushed by some OF the best lawyers
Of Texas. ..,
It is alleged that Texas was admitted
into the Union under peculiar and dit-
ferent circumstances from any other
State. Negotiations for the annexation
were begun during President Tyler's
administration, and joint resolutions
providing for annexation passed Oon'
gress and we're approved by the PreSi'
dent on March l, 1S45. These resolu'
tons contained conditions and guaran'
tees, the most significant Of which, in
regard TO the present case, is as follows:
"SHorloN 8. New States OF conven-
lent size. not exceeding four in number,
in addition TO the said State Of Texas,
and having sufficient population, may
hereafter, by the consent OF said State,
be formed out of the territory thereof,
which shall be entitled to admission
under the provisions OF the Federal
Constitution, and such States as may be
formed out of that portion Of said terri
tory lying south Of thirty-nine degrees
thirty minutes north of the latitude
commonly known as the Missouri Com
promise line shall be admitted into the
Union, with or without slavery, as the
people of each State asking admission
may desire"
Texans took advantage Of this, and, in
framing State Constitution under which
they would be willing to come into the
Union, they stretched the slavery guran-
tee to limit which lawyers of the pres
ent day think makes the United States
Government responsible for the loss OF
slave property. At the next Congress
of the United States this Constitution
was submitted and provoked long and
bitter struggle, and it is noted that
the clauses in it upon which this litige'
ton will be based were then pointed out
as not only Objectionable, but danger
Gus, and virtually making Congress
guarantee slave property.

through the academic courses of the Sisters OF
Mercy at Baltimore and entered the convent of the
