'I THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 18G6. THE NEW YOKK PRESS. BDITOKIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UFON CURRENT TOPICS. OC'MI'TLKD KVBRY PAT FOR EVEMMJ TriLGRArH Slaver)- lu Maryland. I torn the Tribune. We have briefly noticed the startling fact mentioned by our Baltimore correspondent that the slave trade was being carried on in Mary land Ty the judicial and executive officers of that State, under the pretended authority of the Maryland Code, and in alleged accordance with the national Constitution. Advcrlteements an nouncing the feale, for a term of years, In pur maucc of the sentence of a court "d the au thority ol a sheriff, w ill exc ite a reeling of some thing more than surprise in tne breasts of hun theds of thousands, who for niore than a year ltave been uccustomod to thank God that slavery ju America had been constitutionally abolished They believed that they had lived to cee tin day 1-0 long prayed lor, when, in his westward course over our ocean glit republic, the sun no lonpor rose upon a master nor set upon a slave. But here Is a now and hideous vlMon of auction blocks in front ol court houses, for the sale of 4,lavcs and other cattle," with a sheriff as auc tioneer, flourishing his ludlcUl record and poin itip, to the- ''Constitutional amendment HbolisLine sluveiy"' as confirming iti validity, fcvni tLose vtto lu the .olden time had so "con (iKi((1 turlr picju'Uces" as to contend that ilaver was not a crime, must loel that iti uu liluhi'iif revival at this moment, and in this loini Is, to eav the least, a blunder. The responsibility for the existence of this anomaly, which tends to make us contemptible ju the eyes ot the world and despicable In our own, reBts primarily with tho Cousress which, in proceeding to ameud the Constitution for the abolition of slavery, and intending that r.bidUlon to bo total aud final, neglected ta use words that Indicated their inU'tiliou. Edrnesi, Fuef'etions to tuts effect were met by the reply that it would be more historically interesting, hi id would exhibit a more continuous and uni lonu legislation to adopt and incorp irate Into the Constitution the identical prohibition ot flavery framed by thu Fatbois ot the republic and embodied in the ordinance that secured liTcdom to our great Northwest. To the indul gence of this sentiment, which we thought then, und which we still thing, partooj rath -r of idle pedantry than of sound btaiesniaiish p, is the country indebted lor the fact ttiat Anerkau hlavery and the ulave tradii ate carried on to-day under the shelter of that amendment. An absolute prohibition of slavery, without exception, would have raised Congress and would have been ratitled by the people of the fcHate as readily and as certainly as the ouo which was adopted; and yet in its place we Jiave the following article, authorizing aud jus tifying slavery in a class ot cases which, if left to the decision ot the ltebcl States, may be en larged and extended until slavery is made once juore their peculiar institution: -"Articlo XIII, frettiou 1. Neither slavery Lor involuntary ser vitude, except as a punishment for crime vliercof the p.tity shall have been duly con vieted, shall exiit within the United States or fl'.iv place sublet to their jurisdiction." Until seme new amendment shall abolush this rsccption, servitude for crime will be permis Mblc under the national.Conslitution; but what ive buve to do, aud what we can do, is to see that it is iuflicted as a punishment only for crime, aud not for color. This subject may pro perly eueaae the attention of Congress under the second section of the amendment, empower ing them to enforce the article by appropriate legislation. But the true remedy' tor this aud other abuses to which the blacks are subjected by State legislation Irnnirp.l hv elocov. l l exposition uy the Supreme Court of the United rUateo of the true meaning and effect of the Constitutional Amendment, in giviug lo the lepublic a national policy of equal freedom and cq al juslioe. The allowunce by the amendment of slavery ns,a punishment for crime nay seem to mitigate apuiust this view, but it should be remembered that, by the tirst article of the Constitution, apportioning representatives and direct taxe, "persons bound to service for a term of years" vcre expressly included among the number of lree poison?, and that it was not uncommon for the German and o!her "re-leraptionei!?," as they were calle l, thus to bind themselves to a sort of slavery, so far as labor and obedience were con cerned, although it was entirely free from those features of chatteldom which gave to Southern ultiveiy its peculiar horrors. The question how l:i r the amendment abolishing slavery has changed the national policy, as hitherto de duced from slavery under the old Constitution i pro-slavery judges, is one which has not as jet engaged the attention of our national judi ciary. The provi-ions of the Maryland Code under wliich, for the same crime, white men and wo men are tent to the Penitentiary, and black men and women are sold into slavery, affords an excellent opportunity for an elaborate argu ment and final decision on the right of the States thus to dwjriniiuato between Aaioricau citizens, aud to establish, in a republic where all meu arc born tree and equal, aristocratic and class distinctions. The subject was receutly alluded loin an addies3 to the Uulon League Club of liew York by its President, and the opinion was intimated that the amendment had rendered of questionable validity some ot our autlquated tatc laws, both at the North and tlte South, that imposed disabilities and penalties not for crime, but for race aud complexion. 'A class of udicial questions," said Mr. Jay, "giowing out of slavery and its incidenls, which Iiad been finally settled, as was supposed, under the Constitution as it was, wouhl seem to be cii-tuvbed if not reopened by the Constitutional aiuebdtncnt, that has substituted freedom lor slavery as the premise of the argument by which their validity was formerly established. It may possibly be that the identical course of In luc tive reasoning, which starting from the view of the lte Chiet Justice that the iraraers of the Constitution ot 178'J retarded the blacks a lmv- ing uo rights whatsoever, sorved to establish upon that basis, by the severest logic, the right ot.the S ates to disfranchise, outlaw, degrade, and insult what Mr. Taney called 'the slave races,' a cla.s thus uncared ior and unprotected by the Constitution, may lead to a different con clusion, when the judges commence with the new tact, that the American veopie in their sovereign capacity have constituted, ordaiued and established that the members of the thus disfranchised shall be equally entitle I with themselves to the Inalienable rights of American citizens." The eflect of such a decision oa the suffrage quest iou which now agitate toe country, was' in a subsequent part ot the address thus de ncribed: ''Should the Supreme Court, upon a thorough review of the national policy as allectej by the amendment, reach the conclu sion that j the national Constitution as amended no longer permits the States to establish In-c-giiality, by the outlawry or disfranchisement of a class; the difficulties heretofore anticipated trom an. interference by Congress with the sup l!iPd rights of the Sta'es to disfranchise at their I'JfTjtiie will .be avoided.

' Two Klucla of Iltfomi. ! From (fie Timet. It need not in the least detract from the favor able estimate which we have formed of Mr. Blight's energy as au agitator, If we devote a word or two to a truth which the Loudon R: foim Trades meeting of December 3 seems to make apparent. The meeting was professedly one of the organized trade societies of the metro polls, and was projected tn accordance with Mr. Brigbt's Idea that all the power which artisans are able to use for industrial purposes suoura be used for political purposes as well. Fully I expecting that the various trade societies would I take the same view of the matter, be predicted a procession of two hundred thousand per sons, and a day of great enthusiasm. . Neither the one expectation nor the other was fulfilled. The procession appears to have numbered about twchty-hva thousand, and beyoud the fact that i there was a great crowd ot lookers on, the ex citement was of a very mild description. This result was due, to some extent, to minor causes, but the conclusion cannot be avoided that the 1 heart of the laboring classes was not very strongly moved on the questiou of reform. We Lave repeatedly pointed out that the apatl y of these classes on political subject is gieatrr than some would have it appear. The difficulties uoder which they live are uncon- i necled with the suOrage, as they know very well. Every Euglish mechanic of any intelli gence knows that full work and hich wages are not to be controlled by any legislatiou what ever. The working classes of England are, without doubt, always studying the rola'.iom of capital and lalor, lor those" relations are what control their condition, and enter into every circumstance of their haid-worklng lives. But with tLese things cuaugus in the representation have nothing to do. In fact, the course of Bri tish legislation having been toward the fostering ol British trade, and successfully so, the masses are geucially disposed to content themselves with political afluirs as they are. In fact, the lintls-b workman is not. in the main, discon tented with his lulcrs, tor he knows that were he to take their place, he could not remove evils that are inevitable. As tor sensation writers, who ubiise everybody who docs not b lie vein them, and who affirm that England "groans" under its aristocratic system, they may be dismissed with the Matement of a fact , well nuderftood by well-informed persons Englishmen are not weary of their aristocracy, but, on the contrary, look to that aristocracy with great respect, and rec urnize its General , influence in preserving the t-tatus of the nation among other nations with much gratification. '. The preservation of the "ancient honor of the , family" is, as most even of tue poorest classes , understand it, a sort ol sacred obligation with the majority of the title ! gentlemen, whose names are reminders of many old historic epochs epochs not less interc-Unir to ourselves tbau ' to other people?; nay, epochs in which our own ancestry bore an honorable part, and In this sense aie a guarantee of ibe staoility aud the ! respectability of the nation itself. i The political movements, iu short, which from time to time are rife iu England, are not to be judged by an American standard. In that , country much that with us Is a constant subject ! of debate, is settled aud accepted. The course ! of parties does not run there as does the course ot parties with ourselves. There the mases un- '. dersiaud, aud are proud to understand, that the general forms ot government are fixed, and, ' humanly speaking, immutable, and that there are limits even to political vagal ies. We, who , are toiever patching, or seekiug to patch, the holes which we ourselves have made iu tho i structure, which we have reared with so much i labor, and love so well, cannot understand that 1 another natiou will stand firm around a social edifice formed upon a difleront model. But the ' truth is the truth nevertheless. The difficulties ht dor wliioli Inbur In Htipluud uO'crB ttie ' nowise concerned in these matters, aud the I trade lociotiei which did not parade at Mr. I Blight's bidding knew it. Tne problem which i they liave lo solve is a different one from that I which be has undertaken to solve. Tbey inrend ' to combine not for the election of members ot Parliament, but for the establishment of Indus- J trial enterprises of their own. They are more bent upon leiiliziug that labor is capital than upon the possession of a franchise which would I beof compaiatively little use to them. They 1 turned out to see the show of December the 31 as people Will turn out to sec any show. But when all was over they returned home with minded feelings. Prominent was, of course, j that ot respoct lor Mr. Bright, who is respected : even by his enemies; but as prominent was the ! other feeling, that votes were very well, but victuals were better, end that the elevation of the British workngman must depend upon the union of mdustry aud skill, to be guided by his ! own bra'iis, and to enure to his own beuetit, I Napolcou, Italy, aud the Pope. J From the. Herald. We yesterday published a telegram which ' announces that the Londou Times considers the affairs of the Holy See, in spite of tranquil i appearances, iu a really critical condition. The view taken by the Times does not surprise us. It Is in perfect harmony with all that we have seen on the subject. There is peril real peiil. The peril, however, is not the result of anything inhereut in the situation itself. It springs from a different source. It arises from the simple circumstance that the Holy Father Hlone ot all the world, if we except a few big oted and foolish advisers, refuses to see that, so far as his office is concerned, the separa tion of the spiritual lrora the temporal is now inevitable. To lemain a spiritual, be must cease to be a temporal prince. Why his Holi ness should so obstinately cling to that which cannot cling to him, we confess we hud it difficult to explain. His obstinacy would be tho less surprising if the dignity and usefulness of his posiii n were to be atlecled by the chauge. But we have no such fears. It cannot ba that he relies on thestrength and patriotism of the Papal guard, which is composed of cowardly and un principled renegades from all the ends of the earth, and of which John H. Suiratt may be retarded as a specimen. Surely he docs not expest that from the Empress Eugenie, who, with the Prince Imperial li soon to visit Rome, he will receive some comforting intelligeace of the Emperor's private intentions wkich could not saiely be entrusted to auother messenger Napoleon, he must know, has played his last at Rome. .Further aid trom him i uot to be expected. Delay in th'.s case Is specially dan erou8. If tho Pope does not come to a deci sion, and that speedily, the matter will be de cided lor him. Victor Emanuel will be an in terested onlooker; but be will be nothing more. Violeuce from without there will bo nine. But the Roman neoiile will rloolar. for nntnn xi'lth the Italian kingdom, and the Papal guard will uv iiuiuiBiu w cieieat their purpose. Iity it will be if violence is resorted to: for no tores trom within can check the inevitable tendency of events Let the Holy Father at once accept the situation, and all difficulties are settled. Rome and the Status of the Church will become pari or the Italian kingdom. Victor Emmanuel will content himsilt in Florence, one of the fairest capitals iu the world. Rome, with all its ecclesiastical curiosities, will be ungrudgingly left to the Pope and his sacred college ot :r. dinal. If he remains dogged and obstluate to the last, how humiliating the last may be wo shall not venture to predict. Tli Pennsylvania Senatorshlp. jyoth the Wortd. The contest for the Senatorial seat to be vacated by Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, has narrowed down among tie radicals to three c andidates Governor Curtln, Simon Cameron, Mid Tl-addeus Stevens. The Pennsylvania papers, of the radical stripe, outside of Philadelphia, generally favor Stevens j and Forney, who was himself a popeful candidate.jbut who has with drjwa from the contest, proubunccs for Stevens as bis candidate. In returnjfor this support, Mr. Stevens rose lb the House! the other day and enthusiastically defended Mr. Foraey when the Chronicle (one of "my two papers, both daily") was attacked In a personal explanation, by Mr. Sp8iilding, of Ohio. Mr. Stevens defends Forney, and Fotnry, in on "Occasional") to the Philadel phia1 Press, says: "I am tree to say that I think the election of the Hon. Tbaddeus Stevens, a the successor of Mr. Cowan, would promote lasting harmony In our political ho'irebold, and would unquestionably sec ure to the State ami the nation a champion or those great principles of matchless experience, Integrity, and courage." And jets in the Lancaster Intel ifjencer, la 18;)8, when Stevens was a petty Pennsylvania poli tician, appeared the following, which is under stood to have emanated froui (lie pcu ot John W. Forney: "Tbaddeus Stevens, we are glad to say It, is not a Pennsjlvaniau. His own history proves that he came hither a stranger to her people, and has continued at all times consistently ad verse to her Interests. He has been, since his unfortunate preence in the Legislature, Pennsj I vnnia's evil genius, and tl she has de- f eneratcd at all, and the three past years of her ite prove that she has, he plann?d the misfor tune. We will not repeat here his utter desti tution of icputation. for his career is one of that kind which could only have been run bv a vil lain at heart. Pennsylvania has three blemishes on her escutcheon the Masonic inquisition, the cliaileilcg of the United States Bank, and the present ouUngeous condition of affairs. The rii st, it Is not requisite to iny he originated and completed. The second was the fitting offspring ot his brain; lor lie read that lu'amous bill before the Iiitner House of Representatives. The last (the buckshot war), Is his own by every law of right. He began the anarchy it Is the sad consequence of bis own plans. He dissolved the Government. He is now urging the Senate to go on in its pMth of destruction. Ho is em phatically "the power behind the throne." The last is a desperate and final plunge. It will cither mske or unmake him. It It is successful he can cover up the festering infamy of his lite and save himself and his companions from Im pending ruin. If it Is unsuccessful, he will bo spumed, not only from the hall of the Legisla ture, but from the very State if tne laws permit ft is efcape." There is no reason for believing that either .Stevens or Forney has gnatly changed his political or personal character since 18j8. SPECIAL NOTICES. IKW CORN EXCHANGE NATIONAL HANK, 1'niLAPr.i.rHiA.
