" EMANCIPATION. The Empire of Brazil Bids the Bondm.1n Go Free. Special History of the Anti-Slavery Agi- tation and Its Triumph. 4 Man’s Humanity Against Lo- eal Interests, Generosity of the Emperor and Charity of the Church, ‘What the Charter of Liberty Provides. By the steamsm> Flamsteed, from Rio Janeiro, ‘we received the following special correspondence from Brazil, giving a detalied history of the Slavery Abolition billand the final triumph of the cause of emancipation in the territory. A complete copy of ‘the act is appended, so that the fact of the consum- mation of the great work may pass on record in our columns to posterity. Rro JANErRO, Brazil, Oct. 9, 1871. By the steamer South America, whioh sailed ¢rom thia port on the 27th ultimo, { wrote you of the con- tnuation of the sessions of the Imperial Legislative Chambers, after having been three times prorogued, and of the continuation of the discussions over the bill Jor the abolition of human slavery in Brasil, FREB. I am now able to state thatthe passage of this bill Is a Mit accompli; it has become law, and hence- forth no: child can be born a slave in Brazil, even thougtt its mother be a bondwoman. The final vote was reached in the Senate on the @ftermoon of Wednesday, the 27th of September, and the Qi passed by a majority of 32 w 4, showing plainly that its passage was effected in a ‘measare by those who, until the vote was reached, had opposed tt. It was known that the aiscussions had beoome about exbausted, and that each of the Senators who chose—some of them many times— had had their “say” concerning the subject, which, during the entire session, to the exclusion of other Kiads of business and matters of importance, had occupied the time of the Senators. TUE DECISIVE MOMENT AND FINAL SCENR. The Benate Chamber of Brazil 1s not a spacious Toom, yet, #0 faras its cramped galleries and the lifted lobby mmediately in the rear of the semt- circular row o! seats of the Senators would permit, the whole available space was crowded with an Interested and anxious throng, eager to catch the last words of debate and be wituesses of an act upon which depended the peace and: prosperity of this great South American empire in the ituture, HISTORY. The history of the movement for the extinctlon of Duman siavery in Brazil inyoives, more or less, a history of the political affairs of the nation for the last thirty years. It is now thirty years since Jose Bouttacio de Ancrade e Silva firss spoke and wroie in advocacy of ridding the land ot that great social wrong which, in whatever iand it has been estavlished, has proved & Navona curse ana & fruitful source of conuunual dissension and discord. Even at that period Sefior Bonifacio de Stiva demonstrated the immense ad- vantages, material and moral, which must accrue to the pation if the system of African slavery was abolished aud @ judicious mode adoptea for the introduction and permanent settiemenut of white emigran(s. Bat the spirit of Jusi.ce, liberty and en- | lightenment hud not then shed its Influence througa | the hearis of the peopie. The great majority of | Dianters and Siave owners were widely separated over an immense territory, with peor factli- ties for imercommuntcaiion, Newspapers | were jew im number and entirely gov- erned by moneyed interests, and even those who, with keener perceptions and more eniighten- meut of mind, would gladly have made the ex- ohange from bond lavor to Hee, conscious of the greater benefit which must result trom it, saw no feasible plaa upon which to make the exchange, and [ck themseives bound to a sysiem and an insu- tution wlich they would gladly have had abousheu, A LEGACY FROM THE PORTUGUESE. In .Brazil—north, souty, east and west alixc— Slavery existed since Porivgal took possession of the land; and, Since the establishment of the em- prs; tuo provinces of the Amazon and Sao aula, of Paraiuva and Matto Grosso, were alike aficcted by the system of slave labor, wuils in «America, in days past, the policy of the government and the enactment of laws seemed foremost and especialy iivected to the pro- tection of the slaveholding interest, In brazil no such officia! iegisiation has been attempted, and the tastituuion has seemed to run its on course, solely dependeyt upon the havits and customs which sur- roanded it, and which had Lecome a part of its being. IMPERIAL JUSTICE, To the Emperor, beyond all dou>t!, more than to any other man—more thau to any dozen men—1a due the credit of the mersures which had tor thelr object and aim the extirpation of ha- msao slavery in Brazil. A man among the ruters of ‘be earth iniiniiely more thao others above reproach; with no xed prejadices, | f Bo opinion which itis not apparent looks to the moral and material bevetit of the nation; making any and ail concesstons which public opinion can reasonably demand; remarkably simple and unos- | tentatious 12 all matters of his own choosing; c. of head and large of heart, with provabiy not a par- ticle of the spiritel personal agyrandizement or personal ambition; manifesting even now, during his European tour, a spirit of tuquiry and thirst for useful Knowledge which ages no labor to satisty iis investiguuions; displaying a familiarity and knowledge of places and history quite surprising aud aa indefatigableness of research which aston- ishes mankind to see in so great @ ruler. To this man, to Dom Pedro Il., must be awarded the meed of praiso for labors which have now made Prazi! an empire of freedom. Though the matter had been discussed in papers, in pampliets and tn public assemolies, and made the subject of personal and social con- versation, and evideaUy more and more and year by year was becoming a matter of national interest, yet nothing direct was done in a legisiauve way until five and a balf years ago. The Itavorahy Ministry, fora variety of causes, passed away iu October of last year, and was suc- ceeded by @ Muistry of whict the Baran de San Vicente was the head. This administration had not withia itseif the elements of cohesion, and after an ex siesce of a few months, uumarked and un- j noticed, it found is end, TUL COUNCIL OP PLEEDOM. The present Ministry then came into being, with the joilowing organization:—Parantras, the Vis- conde uo Rio Braaco, President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of rinance; Joao Alfredo Carraa Oliveira, Minister of the Empire; Fran- cisco de Puuio Negreiras Sayao Labato, Minister of Justice; Manuel Francisco Corraa, Alimister of For- eign Adals; Domingos Nogueira Jaguarivbe, Minis- ter of Wary Manuel Antonio Duarte ae, Arevedo, Minister of Mariue; Theedoro Machado Freire Pereira do Silva, Mmister of Agriculture, Commerce aud Public Works. The cause of emancipation has now become an | afair of national inigrest. Few there were who did not feel express sentiments favorable to the roject, and tne idea was firmiy fixed mn the popa- ar mind that to tits session of tue Assembly ihe nation might look with confidence tiat something tangible would be accomplished. Al the opening of the Legislature on the 34 of May Jast the Emperor again spoke o/ the subject of eman- cipation ja his speceh and suggested the almost imperative necussity of giving tue matter positive a(tention, The Ministry of the Visconde do Rio Branco lsa conservaltye adminietrauon, Lut it was deterinmed w bring the matier of emancipation iu a practical form before the Assembly, LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS. The bill was introduced into the Uhamber of Deputies by Minister Peretra da Silva onthe 12h of | May, and, after @ free discussion of two weeks 1. passed this Chamber on the 24tu of Augua!, by & vole of 61 yeas to 36 nays. Thence it went to the Senate, and in order to give ample time for full discussion the Imperial Legislature was prorogued three separate times, the Ministry velug deer- mined (hat @ vole should be reached previous vo a Anal aujournmeut. The bil has veen ably defended, and its advocates have boen prompt and unuring to set forth tle ad- vantages over any other mode proposed, and to answer the questionings aud satisly the invesuga- tons of the opposition. By no means, however, have the Opposition contestea we passage of the bill to dejeat emancipation; but in order to secure another mode, believing (hat tre time had come for the adoption of some pian, and apxioas tat when whe metter was brought to a decision the best possible scheme should be chosen, they did not consider the bill under discussion as the best plan, by any means They think tne bili os 6not) =6go 6lfar =6enjugh =6in the work, and that a more speedy and eifective, And at the same Ume as peaceful a mode, miynt have been secared.

Dedication of the Roosevelt Hospital. eee Tho Noble Bencfloence of Jamos Heary Rovse- velt—A Million and a Quarter Dollars Devoted tothe Care ofthe Sick and Maimed—D> scription of the Handsome Structure. Seventy-one years ago, or on the 10th November, 1800, James Heury Roosevelt waa bornin Warren street, near Broadway, in a Knickeroocker rest- dence, that at that carly perioa in the history of New York was located in the suburbs, Born of old Ho!- land parents, he inherited all the energy and noble sentiments that latcr made the Knickerbockers re- spected and commemorated in song and story. Graduating at Columbia Coliege at an early age at the head of his class, with two others who were equally meritorious, he studied isw but never put it ‘Into practice, Ini-eriting @ considerable property, Mr, Rosevelt devoted his life to its increase, and when Death summoned him to another sphere on the 80th November, 1863, he left behind him in his Will provisions that compassed the erection of one Of the finest charities that New York has ever seen. This 1s the Roosevelt Hospital, covering an entire block, bounded by Ninth and Tenth avenues and Fufty-cighth and Fifty-ninth streets, or a space 200 by 800 feet, which was yesterday at two o’ciock, in the presence of about three hundred of our most respectable citizens, including both sexes, formally dedicated to charity, This noble monument of Mr. Roogeveit’s industry and benevoleace when entirely contpleted will be the finest institution of the kind on this continent, if not in the world, In his wil! the founder of the institution set apart about $900,000 worth of property for a public hospi- tal, to be erected under the auspices of gentlemen named. The trustees have delayed the work until, by the accumulation of interest, the amount @t their disposal bas reached a million and @quarter of dollars. Dr. Stephen Smith, an ex- Pperienced physician and Commissioner of Health, andthe accomplished architect, Carl Pfetffer, were Mmstructed to examine the hospital system of the country, and the result of their researches and study, alded by the suggestions of the trustees, is the present superb building that was yesterday dedicated. Dr. E, Delafield occupied the chair, and the dedt- catory services consisted of prayer by Rey. J. Cot- ton Smith, an address by Dr. Delafield, an eloquent address by Rev. Dr. Vermulyea, and a benediction by Rov. Dr. Mublenbergh. Upon the platform were noticed Dr. E, Delafield, G. F. Trimble, Royal y helps, . BE. Mather, Edward Clark, A. H. Muller and J, M. Knox, trustees; Rev. Dr. Muhlenbergh, J. Cotton ‘Smith, Dr. Willard Parker, Dr, Gurden Buck and others, whose names were not ascertained. DESCRIPTION OF THE STRUCTURE. It ts butlc upon the ‘Pavilion plan,’? now gener- ally acknowledged to be ine best, as affording the Most sunlight and air, Tho entire plan comprises four such pav.lions, or separate buildiags, each being @ hospital in itself. An open space or court yard of ninety feet is between the pair of these Duildings, at each end, and the space between those in the centre 18 1830 feet, which 1s, however, partly used by the administrative building, or that which Will contain the offices and apatimenta of the oMcers, also the ampuitheatre or lecwure room, some private patients?’ rooms and two small assoct- ate wards on the upper floors for female patients, In the rear of the administrative 1s the and laundry building, containing also the bakery, engine and boiler and other rooms, at a consid¢rable distance froin the hospital baildings is @ mortuary building, divided into rooms for curator, Teom, pathological muscum and a@ Keeper’s room. Near the mortuary butiding are to be erected the rue. Stable, carpenter aud other shops and carriage sheds. One of the “pavilions” 13 entirely complete and Teady for occupancy. thas a cellar, basement and three stories above the latter. In eaci of tne three ‘upper stories is a Ward or dormitory thirty feet wiae by 106 feetlong ana fifteen feet high; each ward is to contain twenty eight patients; each patient will, thercfore, have over 1,700 cubic feet of alr space. in addition to these wards are a few single rooms for partioular cases or private patients who pay lib- ly for @ccommodations, ‘Each floor or ward jaa also @ nurse’s room, ward kitchen aud ®cuilery, Convalescent diming room, lavatory or washroou, a steam drying room for mattresses, ‘Water closets, slop sinks and other accessories; aiso steam vapor baths. ‘I'ie toilet rooms are arrat differently from the usnal way; insicad of placing them against the walls they are placed in the centre of the room and grouped aronnd a shaft, which ex- tends through ail the stories, cel‘ars and basements, ‘This shaft answers two purposes—a3 the prambers and steam heating pipes are placed thin it it affords facility for reacning them readiiy, il need be, and secondly, tho shait acts ag a venlilator by con- veying off impure air. For thoroughly cleansing id disiniecting these necessary appurtenances a ‘modern improvement” has been introduced, and, perhaps, 1 13 the first instance of it. Eaci totic: is so contrived that steam can readily be injecied into it, and in this way Luoroughly steamed, cleaned and disinfected, There is aiso a shalt extending from tae basement to the upper story, a8 @ receptacie for the soiled linen from cach story, Which iesseas the labor of the attendants by pot requiring tiem to carry id down statrs; and as ali the soiled hnen 13 dropped Into one shaft and falls to the bottom of it, into an especial place for lt, the laundry maids always know where to flad it, ‘ihe clean iinen for each siory 18 coRVveyea by dumb walters communt- cating with each linen room. AD additional jabor-saving contrivance are the dust fines which are nunicrously distributed over the building, in all tne rooms, halis and pass: Un a level of each floor the dust and rubbish can ve swept into a fue formed of glazed pipe, twelve inches in diameter, and terminating in Ue cellar, into an tron receptacie, whenco all can be remove poet to the bolier furnace and burnod. Each ward Js also furnished with outlets in several places for hot and cold water to supply a portable bath for patients who are too feeble to ve taken to the bathrooms. At each end of the butidin: gud on. each story large fire hose are provided an constantly attacned, ready for use in case of fire; also 1n each court yard ts a fire plug, with hose ate tached, so as to force water upon any part of the building, if need be. The fre pligs are supplied ‘with water from the tanks within tne buildings; bat ail the hose are aiso connected with a powerful steam puinp and engme im the boiler house, An aaditional precaution against fire and affording safety tor patients Is 9 spacious fireproof (stone) stairway. For paticnts who are too weak to ascend @ stairway a steam elevator has been provided, which also affords an adaitional convenicuce for the oMicers and attendants, In tue basement of the pa- vilion are offices, accident, opibalmic and single wards, with auxiliary rooms, as on the upper floors, In all the pavilion-will accumamodate about one hune dred patients, Each pavilion also has apartments for one or two physicians. ‘The cellar ts mostly used for arr ducts and heatia: apparatus, which 13 done by Conveying a constan supply of fresh air over cous of steam pipe, and reaches (he rooms in & heated degree suiiicient to warm them.

Coman and Welch sat in quiet conversation, and were, perhaps, computing the difference between them in avoirdupois. Jerome looked wise and tried to dito a big head of a heavy cane. Hart looked round wisely, a3 usual, but said nothing.

YOUG NOT RUNNING AWAY, | What Hooper Suggests to Settlo the Difficulty. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2, 1871, Captain Hooper, of Salt Lake City, Delegate to Congress from Utah Territory, arrived here last evening from New York, en roure to Washington to confer with Prealdent Grant with regard to the present troubles in Mormondom. He 1s accompa- nied by Mr, Cummings, of Salt Lake. It was my Dleasure to meet Mr. Hooper at the Continental snis morning, aud the annexed report is the record of a conversauion we had on the very interesting subject of POLYGAMY, MOBMONISM AND UTAH'’S FUTURE. Mr. Hooper bas Tepresenved Utah in Congress for twelve years and bis acquaintance with the ‘‘pe- cultar institution” is of long duration, and what ever he says on the subject may ne deemed authora- uve CoRRRSPONDENT—I have called, Mr. Hooper, for an expression of your opinion with regard to the Mormon tronbies, Mr. Hoormn—i left Salt Lake City about two Weoks ago, came to Ogdon, stayed there over night and them came leisurely on to the East. Whenl left home Mr. Young was in the city, but 1 bave sinoe learned that he istraveliiag {x the south of Utah. He ts not running away, but is taking a trip he was contemplating for the past two months, CORRBSPONDEN? —Do you think the present trou- ble will culminate in disaster to the Mormons? Mr. Hooraz—N¢, Ido not, There isa great deal more excitement uere than there is in Salt Lake City. People chere understand the animus that leads to the present persecutions and take but little inveress tu it. By the way, who ts this man Bates that was appointed District Attorncy of Utah day befors yesterday? Who appointed him, Morton? What t be and where did ite come from?” CORMESPONDENT—1 am unable to answer your question, I assume that the President had good Teasons for giving bim the appotntment. iy ae Hoorsr—I believe the trial of President ‘oun, hag pect norte until March next, and I am giad of it. He only wished to get an opimion from the Supreme Cours With regard to tha legality of the Grand Jury tiat indicted him. (£xctvedly)— Why, more than haif of that jury are the worst apostates in the world! They are carpet-baggers— meu who have not lived there moro than two and three and six months, CoRBESPONDENT—Do you believe thom to be infu- enced by projudice? Mr. HOOPER—President Young objects to them, and not witnout reason, Woy, air, 1 was coming through Ohio in the cars the otherday, when a con- versation was started on the subject. One gentie- man onthe train turned to a leading eattor and said, “There are at jeast three men on that jury who left @ certain town in this State for the town’s (eg a nd that is the quality of men that compose Wwo-thirds of the jury. CoRRESTONDENT—Do you abject to “Gentilea’” as vermenY iT. HOOFER—No, sir, we do not; but we do ask that they be men whom we knew; men of cna- racter, men who have property in our midst and in- terests at stake in the Terrjtory, that we may Lave some show for an impartial CFL CORRESPONDENT—Vo the people Salt Lake City think Judge McKean is acting this matter on his Own responsibitity ? Mr. RooPkR—Weil, tho judges and government omMicers all claim that they aro backed by Grant. We don believe it, CoRRESPONDENT—It 1s understood that you have a mission to Washinzton in conacction with the present and prospective troubles. Mr. Hoorgn—That is surmise. “{ am going to Washington to make arrangementa for my faiaily forthe winter. Jwitl probabirsce the Prestden’. it ai 13 sala about the troubles it will ema- nate irom the President. a CORKESPONDENT—I judge, from your long expe- Fience* you would have svine suggestion to make looking to @ peaceable solution of the question if you were asked for one. Mr, HoorgR—My idea with regard to the wiping out of polygamy is this:— OF COURSE IT MUST PERISH; and, without going to Vongress, & would have a convention of Mormons and Gentiles—say,two-tiuiras Mormons—mcet and adopt @ course of'action for the future—looking, of course, the ad- mission of Utih as a otate. My plan would be to have it agreed aad acted on in good faith that no moro polygamic marriages take place; but the question arises, what snould be done with prosent ‘marital relations? Must the oifspring of these erziere be declared bastards, and the mar- Tiages of thelr parents iilogitimate? am in favor of admitting the Territory a3 a State, and after it has organized a State government let the State de- Clare all marriages made pmor to @ certain date legitimate, {have yet to incet the first man who makes any fades een tosaniiy who is in favor of declaring these marri: forever illegitimate. This T regard as the best solution of the difitculties, CORRE3PONDENT—DO you believe that to be prevailing sentiment among Mormons? Mr. HOOPER—1 do. CORRESPONDENT— What ts the population of Utah? Mr. Hoorgn—About ono hundred and twen' thonsand people. A population witch nas prove itself able to make the wilderness blossom as the Tose; which has built up @ nation in desolate places, and which this government cannot afford to losé, cannot spare from the great work it is now engaged in—namely, developing the mineral, agricultural and commercial resources of that great Territory. We have heard people suggeat that we be driven out. Where would we go? Even should the govern- ment buy our lands it would not help us. When the people at large understand our s>pio there will be a diferent toque in this country with regard to Mormonism. And the time will come when we will be understood. CORRESPONDENT—What about the suits brought .by women against Young? Mr. -Hoorga—I have heard of but one. Mrs, Cook, wiio was once a Mormon, fell trom the faith and went to California, When tue troubles began recently she came to Sait Lake City and demanded $2, which she claimed Presideut Young owed her. lieving it to ve a blackmailing ration, he refused to pay it, for he did not owe tt. She sued him aud recovered a jn'igment for the amount and interest, Making about $3,609, ‘CORRESPONDENT—What is the prevailing sent» ment among the rising: generation on the question eRe ena ir, HOOPER —! against polygamy, The insti- tation would ate of ie. own’ accord tf left aione, Young people in Utah will noé, of course, say they are opposed to it, but will assure you TT 18 ALL mMowT; their fathers and mothers were polygamists, but as for them {and here Booyer slyly Winked) they guess, they won't take any of it, CORRESPONDENT—I had formed the same impres- sions during & visit there two years ago. Mr, Hoorgr—Your impressiovs were correct, sir. “Mr. Cummings,” said Hooper, tarning to tis frend, “ have lived in Salt Lake City twenty ears. What ate your impressions touching the ex- polyenky P the nce Of “T agree with. you in every particular,” replica Mr. Cummings. “There is not one young Mormon in @ hundred who will be a polygamist.” And this seems to bo the among well informed peopio, hogy strike polygamy from their shields pro- vi they cau be assured of @ recog: Dition of former marriages, That polygamy is doomed 18 a fact beyond contradiction, and, ‘With this blot removed, the Mormons may continns fo their work of developing their country. ‘Tho country pelea Olvilization of the age demand the death '.
