'i;o A.u x-:.X -rNKT.-An importcit que.s tion has been referred to tho Attorney General for decision, by the Secretary of State, touching tho legality of the emnancipation amendment to the Consti Ii iont.

The captain has ap Peialed to Mr. Ford. Charge d'Aatires of (Geat Britain here who has addressed a note to Secretary Seward on the sub ject. Pending tlie action of the Atto ney General. action against the English captain has been suispenided. ''ho Const.itution provides that .lhe I'ra iono imiiportation of Steh per sonsa as the States think proper to admit .i'mll not be prohibited prior to the vona 1808. ThaIt is, the slavo trado should not be prohibited beforo that date. As is well known, as soon as that date arri, red, Congress, in strong and elaborate acts, whiclr have remained ever sinc( iii foice, prohibited the slave trade. 'Te language of one of the principals of those acts is: "Shall impoft or bing tn'y ne go, mulatto, or other person of color, not being a native, a citizon, or register ed scamani of the United States, or sea men, natives of countries beyond the Cape of Good Hope, into any port or pI.:cc of [he United States which shall be sitinted in any Stato whichI by law has pnohibited the admission or importa tion of stch uegro, mulatto or other per son' of color." fir most of tho '_tates ir tL'e Soutlh free personls of color are pro hibitedl from coming or being brought into the State.
