HOW THE LAW WAS PASSED—THE WAY TBR COM- MISSION WAS ORGANIZED—THE COLONIZATION FEATURE—WHAT THE CITY COUNCILS DID—AP- PRAISING THE SLAVES—AN EXPRRT BMPLOYED— INTERESTING PERSONAL DETAILS. If the Fourth of July, after the lapse of more than a century, has not ceased to awaken a throb of patriotic joy in the breast of every true American of the white race; how shall not the sixteenth of April be celebrated as a day sacred to Liberty by every colored inbabitant of the District of Columbia? Our ancestors of colonial times were freemen. They were born free, and were never deprived of personal Mberty. Their com- plaint agaipst the mother country was that she ciaimed the right to tax them without repre- sentation. The grievance was an affront to their personal dignity, to their Independence of spirit, and an Invasion of their inaltenable rights as the descendents of free-born Britons. But as a bur- gen to be borne—an oppression to be endured— the parliamentary pretension was, in contrast with chattel slavery, as the thickness of the little finger ts to the joins. All honor, then, to the sixteenth of April, and tothe colored people who keep it as a holiday, THE ABOLITION OV SLAVERY. ‘The abolition of slavery in the District of Co- Jumbla had been occastonally referred to by the prees and ih Congress, in the earlier years of tbe republic, as among possible political issues; but as time advanced, and as the slavery con- troversy grew warmer, it gradually faded from the public view., In those “better days” the eminent men of Virginia, such as John Ran- dolph of Roanoke, hesitated not to denounce “the traffic in human flesh,” In full view of the national Capitol, a8 a national disgrace. He at one Ure proposed the abolition of the system; but he was met by the stern opposition of his own constituents and of the whole south, and was constrained to abandon his generous pur- Mr. Clay, Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Web- suitution conferred the power to abolish slavery in the District; but Ubey all agreed in the opinion that 1t would be inexpedicnt to exercise the power while the instiution continued to existin the adjacent States of Virginia and Maryland. And even dchn Quincy Adams, the stern and stalwart opponent of slavery, conceded the impolicy of 1Le measure, while contending for its abstract justice, as well as constitutionallty. The politicians who succeeded these eminent min were 100 a the obnoxious scnttment, and ‘one to deny, rather tLan to a might al juestion as a poiltie. right, but waved its the demceratie pe ly edt Consttutygnal po and the moral nght. THE EMANCIPATION ISSUE, If this great Jaw of emancipation bad been enacted at any time prior to the civil war it would have shaken the nation like an earth- quake, and it would probably have precipitated the secession and rebellion of the southern states, instead of following as a consequence of those events, But it came amid war's “loud alarums.” It was regarded as a mere incident of the great struggle, and thus passed off with- outattracting more than an occastonal notice from the press aud people of the country at large. Mr. Sumner, tn his speech on the bili, presents an dca of the Importance which he Attached tothe measure, in his finest style or elevated oratory. Ile said: “Mr, President, with unspeakable delight I bail this measure and the prospect of its speedy adoption. it is the first Installment of that great debt which we all owe to an enslaved race, and will be recognized in history as one of the victories of humanity, At home, through- out our own country, it will be rativude, while abroad it will quick hopes of all who love freedom, Liveral insti- tutions will gain everywhere by the aboiition Of Slavery at the National Capital Nobody can read that slaves were once sold in the markets of Rome beneath the eyes Of the Sovereign Pontiff, without confessing the scandal to re- gion, even in a barbarous age; and nobody can hear that slaves are now sold’ in the mar- kets of Washington beneath the eyes of the President, without confessing the scand’ Mberal fnstitutions. For the sake of our 00: name, if not for the sake of justice, let the scan- dal disappear.” THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT— DETAILS OF THE act. The bill for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbla was introduced tn the Senate, December 16, 1861, by Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, “It provided that all persons beld to service or labor by reason of African deacent, in the District of Columbia, should be discharged trom said service or labor immedi- ately on the passage of the act; and that neither slavery nor Involuntary servitude, ex- cept for erime, whereof the party shall be duly convicted, shall hereafter exist in sald District. The act provided for the appointment of three commissioners, who were to hear and determine the claims of the slaveholders for compensation. ‘The latter were required to present their petl— tons, setting forth the names, ages and eati- mated value of the slaves, with Ube nature of the tlle by which they were held. They were required to swear to the petitions, and to take and subscribe what !s known as the “iron-clad Oath” of allegiance and non-participation in the rebellion; but thes? oaths were not to be re- ceived by the commissioners as conclusive proot ot the facts sworn to. They were required to Mmvite and receive testimony in regard to the | loyalty of the claimants, the valldity of their tilics, and to the value of the slaves, ‘The awards of compensation were not to “‘ex- ceed In the aggregate an amount equal to three hundred dollars for each person shown to have been so held by lawful claims,” with a proviso that nothing was to be paid for slaves prougnt into the District after the passage of the act. ie Commissioners were to be two thousand dollars each for their services. They were authorized to appoint a clerk at a salary of two hundred dol per month, and the marshal of the District of Columbia was re- quired to attend them in person or by deputy, for es service of process, and the preservation ot order. + One million of doilars was aj priated for the purpeee of carrying the act into effect, and @n additional appropriation of one fundred thousand dollars was to be expended under the direction of the President, to aid in colonization and settlement of such free per- s0n8 of African descent now in the District, including those to be berated by this act, as may desire to emigrate to the republics of Haytt or Liberia, or such other country be- yond the limits of the United States as the President may determine. 5 The clerk of the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia was required to give a certificate of freedom. To all persons emancipated by the act ‘THE COLONIZATION FEATURE. The appropriation to aid the colonization of the freed people beyond the limits of the United with Mr. Garrett Davis, the States originated emancipated people should be {beyond eman the iinnits ‘of the United States, uncoadition- But on say part letter, and that no part of the money appropri- ated to ald colonization was ever expended.

Men Prefer to suffer the fils they have around them Tather than fly to those they know not of. Mr. Davis resisted the amendment to his amendment with all his might, and predicted Girefui consequences as certain to flow from the literation of the slaves, and allowing them to remain in the covntry. He, no doubt, ex- Pressed his own hones¢ conviction, and that of the great majority of the southern people, — be declared that “whenever that policy Sixteen years of experience bas demonstrated the folly of these glocmy forebedings: and, Indeed, there never Was, in view of the nature of man, any good reason for indi them. For if centuries of oppression had failed to produce a war of races. in this country, why should we anticipate such & consequence from a sublime act of justice? Certainly the emancipated race could have no Ivotive to rebel against society In order to se. cure rights which had already been acquired: | and if danger to the public peace was to be ap- prebended, it must come from the white peo- ple who were deeply dissatisfied with the measure of emancipation. But the south bad seen and felt enough of war during four long years of the strugyie for independence, and as the result has shown, they were not in the mood, Uon had been declared before the war com- menced, it would doubtless have precipitated i; Dut emancipation as an event of the civil war, consummated and confirmed by tts trium- phant close, could have no such consequence as a war of races. There have been occasional disturbances—acts of violent colli sion between the races in the south, but these have been caused by the en/ranchisement of the colored men, and not by thelr emancipa- Mon, But these collisions between whites and lacks at the polls tn the south, have not been more violent and bloody, or attended witn greater corruption than those which occurred in the great cities of the north—tncluding Wash- ington and Baltuimore—twenty-five to twent eight years ago, when the ‘Native Americans” or “Know Nothings” were arrayed against the foreigners and Catholics. We have seen that bad and bitter spirit pass away, within a gen- eration, leaving not a wreck behind it: and we see signs all that the bitter antagonism of races is passipg away in the south. It is now about thirteen years since the colored man be. came & voter, ‘and it is safe to predict that at me oo of iratieenon stand as unchallen; as Is that of the fo born citizen to-day. nase THE BILL IN THE SENATE. ‘The limits appropriate to Unis article are too circumscribed to admit even of a sketch of the cebate which attended the passage of the bill through the Senate; but a salient point or two Will be noticed. Mr. Davis maintained that the right to hold slaves was the same as that to hold landor cther property; and he interrogated Mr. Sum- ence to the constitutional rantees of the institutien. Mr. S. replied with great eloquence and force, of slavery; and he maintained that the tnstitn- trict. He sald: “An honored predecessor of the Senator from Maryland (Mr. Kennedy), whose fame as a statesman was ecilpsed, perhaps, by his more remarkable fame as a lawyer—I mean Wiliam Pinkney—and it 1s among the recol- lections of my youth that I heard Chief Justice Marshal call bim the undoubted head of the American bar—in a speech before the Maryland House of Delegates, sald: “Str, by the eternal principles of natural justice nO master In the state has aright to hold his slaves In bondage for a single hour.” statesman and lawyer, bnl as an crator also, when, in the British Parliament, he uttered these Memorable words; 5 “Tell me not of rights, talk not of the pro; erty of the planter in his slats.

There is a law above all the enactments of human codes, the same throughout the world; the same in all times; it Is the law writtem by the finger of God on the heart of man, and by that jaw, unchangeable and eternal, walle men de- spise fraud, and loathe rapine, and abhor blood, they will reject with indignation the guilty phantasy that man can hold property in man.’” Mr. Sumner resumes: “It bas often been safd that the finest sen- tence of the English language is Lnat famous description of law with whtch Hooker closes his first book of his Ecclestastical Polity; but 1 cannot coubt but that this wonderful deauncia- ton Of an irrational and !nnuman pretension wii be remembered hereatter with bigher praise; for 1t gathers into surpassing eloquence the glowtng and immitigable instincts of wnl- versal man.” WHAT THE CITY COUNCILS DID, The aldermen and common council of the { Washington adopted a joint resolution, ich was presented by Mr. Wricht, of Indiana, age of the bill, and ing the located 5, between two slave-holdiuy states, into anasylum for free negroes, & population un- desirable in every American community, and it has bee Gecmed Lecessary to exclude F her from some even of the non-slave- holding states.” Signed Z, RICHARDS, President Board of Common Counc!

Four republicans, Messrs. Willey and Carlisle, of West Virginia; Henderson, of Missouri, and Wright, of Indiana, voted against 11.

Samuel F, Vinton, a distinguished ex-member of Congress from Ohio, and the Hon. Horatio King, ex-Post- master General, commissioners. ir. Vinton acted a3 chairman during the few days that he of the board. He was taken suddenly ull of erysipelas, abd died on Sunday, May ll. Tue commissioners, in their final report, acknow! edge the great value cf Mr. Vinton’s brief ser- vice with them, in preparing the forms and s of proceeding, and they pay a deserved tribute to his memory. Dr. John M. Brodhead, Who, prior thereto and subsequently, was sec- onc comptroller of the Treasury, was appointed to succeed Mr, Vinton. William R. Woodward, esq., Unen and still a member of the Washing- ton bar, was appointed clerk. ‘The marshal designated Joseph F. Kelley as his deputy to execute process, and the commissioners em- pioyed Henry Olive as messenger. They also purchased a fre proof safe la which to keep the valuable books and papers. HOW COLORED PEOPLE WERE APrRaIsED, The commissioners had littie confidence in their knowledge of the relative values of banced by the shock which slavery received from the clash of arms, in a war which Slavery itself had caused. It was therefore found necessary to employ an “expert” to ald them, ‘They accordingly engaged the services of Mr. B. M. Campbell, of Baltimore, an ex- tensive dealer in slaves. He was paid $10 per end remained with the commissioners tbree or four months. He stated that no sales had been effected by him for some time, and that he could not say what slaves were then worth; but it was agreed that he should declare what prices prevailed in 1960,and fix the values accordingly. Tbe limit of ‘compensation per capita was fixed by law, and hence the ques- tion of Felative values only cone ngere in- vidual clatman' The enemas, almost universally acquiesced in the fairness of acceded: two. milion. dollars for about tree Spero valuations the 43.90 per cent of au IU hence, a slave valued by the “expert” at $1,000, in 1860, brought under the act $435.

Several old and infirm siaves were — valueless, and nothing was paid for SOME PECULIAR CASES. There were several peculiar cases which awakened not a little interest. Mrs. Throck- morton filed aciaim for six slaves. Her hus- band, who held the title, was living, but had “seceded,” or gone south, while she remained loyal, and her son was a gallant Union oMicer. The commissioners were constrained to rejeo ber claim. But-the busband, in 1560, had given & deed of trust on five of the slaves to secure a Gebt of $40, and this trust Mrs. had paid off. The commissioners, therefore, allowed her that sum out of the assessed valud of the slaves, ‘were other cases in which the husbands went south leaving their wives } ~<a but the latter could be allowed noth- Mr. Smith Minor's case Wlustrates the un- bappy and perplexing condition in which th border state people were placed He resided ia | Alexandria county, Virginia, when the war | broke out, and although known to be a Uaton | man be had yielded to the it advice of his friends, accompanied with intimations that | It would not be safe to oppose the will of the south, and voted for secession, and sometime thereafter remuved into the District.

Charlotte Brown had come into the city, perliay mission of her owner, Mr. family to which she hired Way gave his consent to her presence here. She was therefore granted a certificate of free- | dom. Emeline Wedge, her two children and her sister, Alice Thomas, slaves of Alexander McCor- mic) a led to the commissioners for certin- cates of freedom. Mr. M. resided in the District, and, a few days before the passage of the act, he removed the slaves Into Maryland, just across the line, and néar his house within the District. | It was proven that they were compelied to come | back and forth for provisions, and with his knowleage. Also, that they attended cows whhin the District, They were, therefore, lib- erated. It was arule of the commission to lean To the side of freedom, and to give the benefit of a Goubt to the slave. The case of Charlotte Becket and her five children, slaves of Mra. | Mary RK. Bibb, the widow of Ju Btob, former- ly Secretary of (he Treasury,was similar to that of Mr, MeCormick’s slaves. ' She removed them. out of the District a few days before the pass- age of the emancipation act, but had falled to use her legal remedies for keeping them out; and they were, therefore, liberated by the com- mi+sioners, There were three claims before the commis- ) stoners ef colored applicants for compensation. Hetty Robertson, colored, claimed her husban John Robertson, as her slave, and was allows six hundred @pllars for him. Jacob Koss, col- ; ored. Claimed Kessiah Hoss and Francis Ann Ross.
