The Freedmen Buring The WAR.

In 1861 there were many suggestive
pictures in the ns,ghborhood Of our
armies. For example, near farm
house three miles west Of Alexandria,
Va, a handsome woman. little dark
er than the ordinary Creole of New
Orleans, tall, straight, healthful and
active, presented herself at picket
post carrying lad of about two years.
The child enwrapped by one arm, had
darker hue than the woman, and his
knky hair. cut short, enveleped his
round head with unmistakable wocly
dress. The woman and child were
brought to the Colonel commanding
brigade in that neighborhood. He
was kind man, and, seeing that the
woman was terrified, he endeavored to
reassnre her ol her safety.
"what do you wishg' he asked.
ooh, sir, I'm slave woman, and
this is my child. Let me and my
child be freel'
While the Colonel was listening to
the woman's plant and treaty another
character appeared. 1t was sallew-
oomplexfened, poorly clad, white
woman, of middle age. She said at
once "That there woman is my
slave. I've always treated her well,
and here she is She has run off.
Now, sir, you must send her back to
me, for she is mine. She and the
boy, they're my property"
Now the Colonel was under strin.
gent orders at that time not to har-
Dor such property.
He was greatly puzzled. The white
woman became agnry at his hesitation,
and used abusive language directed in
part to him, but manly to her late
slave. The tall slave woman pressing
her child to her breast, and with her
large eyes filed with tears, simply
said 'soh, nay child, INV child"

Extra Territorial Legislation.

An important point appears to have
escaped the attention of those VINO have
discussed in sOme of its bearings the re-
fusal of United States Minister Phelps to
introduce Allen Thorndyke Rice to the
Prince of Wales. Mr.. Phelps refused to
extend this courtesy to the distinguished
editor of the North American Review be
cause a caustic and savage criticism on
Secretary Bayard had been printed in that
magazine The punishment was a severe
one, but the publication in question was
admitted and no extenuating circum-
stances were pleaded.
Yet this was Furnishing an American
citizen in England for an offense com
mitted in the United States. 1t is the
Cutting case over again in most respects.
Minister Phelps holds in London high
tribunal of courtesy by which social rights
are adjudlcated and determined. Mr..
Rice was subjected to trial before this
tribunal, was convicted of violating its
implied code in the United States, and he
was sentenced to the extreme penalty that
it could inffict-an exclusion from its ia
vor in procuring formal introduction to
British royalty.
Secretary Bayard should send Mr..
Sedgwick to London to investigate this
case, but should warn him to avoid the
London clubs and the high-rollers of club
society whom he would be likely to meet
in that Jolly social and political center.

Colonel Ingersolrs Suggestion.
Chi cago Journal

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll thinks the
solution of the New York Mayoralty con
test lies in the Endorsement of Henry
George by the republicans. In an inter
view he says it is the duty of the republic
ans to defeat the democrats, and he be
lieves there is a chance for them to &C
complish this by making George tn cir
candidate.
The republicans of New York will not
be likely to take the Colonels view of the
case. Besides being an out-and-out free
trader, Mr.. Georges ideas of property
rights would not find favor with any con
siderable number of the party. As the
case now stands, these are two free trade
candidates in the tield-Hewitt represent
ing the democracy and George repre-
senting the labor element. Although a
municipal election has nothing to do with
the tariff, the presence of two opposing
candidates on the free-trade side will
naturally bring the discussion of the
tariff question into the campaign, par
ticularly in its relation to the masses of
the people. To make sharp and dis
tinct Issue, therefore, the republicans
will probably select for their candidate a
strong and popular man who represents
the protective policy of the party. By
doing this they may hope to gain the
votes of democratic workingmen who are
opposed to the free-trade idea.
