NEGRO I’Q.UALITY TO RE ENFORCED DT A LAW
OF CONGRESS.
"Wo invite attention to the upeochea below, (
which took place in the U. S. Senate on the
10th ir.st Rend the speeches, while rben,
mid then consider the position you are to ho
brought to hv the KepubUcanrAbolition pur
tv. The lenders of that party are determin
ed that the negro shall bo considered your
equal, in every respect, uo difference wbtit
j yarn* own opinion may bo ou the subject.
■ They are now bold to muko this declaration,
1 and every Republican in the Senate voted
I for the resolution offered by Sumner, and
| must of them advocated it in a speech.
! It appears from the speeches delivered,
•that one of Lincoln’s pompous negro,Majors
insisted upon riding in the same street cur
with white Indies and gentlemen. He was
told-by the conductor that it was against the
rules to admit him into the car occupied by
white people,'’but that a car for colored folks
was at hand, and ho could rido in it. This
offended the sable “ Major,” who insisted on
crowding himself in with the white passen
gers ; because, to use bis own words, “ he
j was the equal if any white man/’ &c. Fi
uiudy the conductor ejected him from the
I steps of the cur, nud drove on. The negro
“Major” immediately reported the affair to
his “superior officer,” who informed Sumner,
and hence the resolution and debate in the ]
Senate. Again we say, read the debate,
white men, and )ct r all rail-road conductors
hereafter remember, and let every body else
remember, that a negro is the equal of the
white man, (in the opinion of the U. S. Sen
ate,) and cannot bo treated in any other way
than as an equal. In the name of heaven,
what aie we coming to ? Is faraticism to be
tolerated much longer ? But to the speeches;

outrage.
Mr. WILKINSON* ( Abolitionist.) I paw
in a New York newspaper the other day an
account of a transaction similar to the one
alluded to by the Senator from Massachu
setts. I was in hopes them and indeed 1
thought, there was some mistake about it,
because I did not know that any colored per
sons were commissioned with the rank of
Major by the President of the L’nited States ;
and I was in hopes, for the honor of the
country and for the honor of the capital, that
there was some mistake in regard to it. Sir,
1 hope this reference will bo made ; and that
the Committee on the District of Columbia
will see to it that no corporation shall here
after commit such an outrage.
1 Mr. HENDRICKS (Democrat.) 1 would
! have given a silent vote on this resolution,
except for the explanations fhat have been
made by the Senator who introduced it and
the Senator from Minnesota. It .seems tube
considered a great outrage that the negroes
in the District of Columbia are not allowed
tn take their seats in the same cars with the
while men and women who travel on the
railroads of this city, if I were to express
any opinion on the subject, I should say the
outrage would be the other way. Dut per
haps it is duo to the company to say that I
have observed the fact, as 1 suppose other
''Senators have observed it, that there are cars
furnished dor the colored peopleAf the Dis
trict, and those cars are plainly indicated, so
that there can be no mistake.
I do not understand from the Senator who
has introduced this resolution that any negro
has boon denied the right to ride in ibccars
which, aT the expense of the company, have
been provided for their accommodation : but
the difficulty, I suppose, lias arisen because
the negro declined to ride in the cars that
arc provided fop persons of his color, and
claimed the right to rule in the oars that are
provided lor the white men and women who
travel on these railroads. I will say to the
Senator from lowa that very recently, with
out observing it, I found myself crowding on
the colored population in.one of their own
cars, and as I did not choose to press upon
their rights, I of course gave them the car-.
lb was their right; it was provided for them,
-and of course I did not question that right.
So I am sure that provision has been made
for their accommodation.
Mr. GRIMES (Abolitionist.) X have found
myself in some of the cars provided for col
ored people, and I did press myself upon
their attention and rode with them, and •[ did
not consider myself disgraced by riding to
the Senate Chamber in a car with colored
people. ’lt was rather an honor, for they
were all loyal.
Mr. SI’MNER. $ know nothing about
oars being provided for colored people. If
they are provided they should not be recog
nized by any colored lady or gentleman.—
X was speaking of the late outrage. I use
plain language, sir, for it is an outrage ; it is
a disgrace to this city ; it is a disgrace to this
Government which sanctions it Under its
eves. It is a mere offshoot of the slavery
which happily wo have banished from Wash
ington. I go further and I say—l merely
take him for illustration—that x tho ejection
of that Senator from a car would not bring
upon this capital half*lho shame that the
ejection of this colored officer from the car
necessarily brings upon the capital,*or any
other Senator, fur I dn not moan of course to
make the remark personal: but as the Sena
tor from Indiana has entered into (his dis
cussion and chooße* to vindicate this.inhu
manity. T allude to him personally.
Mr. WILSON, (Abolitionist.) Mr. Presi
dent, this is not the only place that need? ro-

form. There arc other portions of the coun
try that need reform'also where, perhaps, the
matter imnot under our control. On our own
cars that we are running op our own military
roads these outrages are committed, ihn
other dav a friend of mine came tin from the
army, and with him 'two ouh-red men, and
they wore forced into an inferior car, while
lie (the white man) rude a-one in a height
car over the road, forced there by the per
sons exercising the control under the autho
rity of the United States.
The truth about it is, sir, that slavery has
had its corrupting and malign influence upon
the country. The country will yet, however,
bo abolitiOulV.ed and civilized and humanized,
but it must "bo nboiitionir.cd before the high
civilization or tiie high humanity wdl come.
It is all going well and right. I hope that
some action will be taken in reference to this
matter, and I hope the Federal Government
will correct these outrages that are perpetra
ted by persona employed by them, on sumo o'l
our own military-reads.
Mr. lIHX BRICKS. I desire to add a sin
gle remark 10 what I have felt it my duty to
say. And first I wish to ask the Senator
from Massachusetts who has just taken his
scat if ho has not heard of tons of thousands
of cases, where white soldiers have boon com
pelled to ride in cattle or burden cars. I
know that nothing is more common in the
pressure upon the railroads of the Northwest
than for that very thing to occur.
Mr, WILSON. In reply to the question
of the Senator I will say that there is no
doubt that it is true. In this ease these per
sons wer q forced into the inferior car, and the
gentleman told me ho rode nearly all the way
alone, when there was room for a biro num
ber of other persons in the car. 110 inquired
about it of two officers, and the answer was
that those ears were for “ the niggers I”
Mr. II LX BRICKS. ‘During the very cold
winter weather toward the commencement of
this session, under the very eye of Sena
tors, the veterans from the Potomac and the
Uapidan came into this city in cars that were
not at all fit for white people, in Vvhich they
suffered extremely lor the want of lire ; and
yet neither that Senator nor any other Sena
tor felt that tlie cause of Immunity and right
required them to call'the attention ul the Se
nate to the circumstance.
I am satisfied. sir. that the Senators have
now declared the end to hi\;ii we are to
conic, ami that by tlio action ol the Federal
Government the social as well as the political
equality of (he neyro is to bo forced upon the
white race. If that be the judgment of the
country we shall have to accept if. The peo
ple that I represent fn this Chamber have
not yet adopted that sentiment. Tlic distinc
tion between the two races is yet maintained
in Indiana. I low much longer it will be
maintaihed I am not able to say.
The Senator says that abolitionism is to do 1
its work, and one of its works as I under- 1
stand from him is to bring about SOCIAL j
LOCALITY. 1 presume he means also po- >
litical equality. I think Unit wo will not i
consent to that very readily in the Stale o(
Indiana. Indiana has not been for a great
number of years in fact or in law a slave
State. At one time there were a few slaves
in that State, but it has been substantially a
free State since 1810, the time of its admis
sion, and yet, sir, accustomed as wc arc to
white labor there, and to none other, wc arc
not content that equality, social and political,
of tho black race shall be forced upon us ;
and I am glad now that in plain terms the
two distinguished Senators from Massachu
setts and the Senator from Minnesota have
told thd country that this is the end wo are
to come to, that this war is not only for the
freedom of the negro, but lor the equality of i
the negro socially as well as politically, and
the country can now appreciate the issue that
is before it.
' Mr. WILSON. A single word. Mr. Presi
dent. "What I mean to say about this matter
is this ; I do not want to force on the Sena 1 or
'from Indiana any class of men with whom
he docs not choose to associate, but I think
the true' policy is to let men stand equally
before the law, to let men win their own po
sitions. I>‘L them have the privilege of mak
ing out of themselves ail that God and nature
intended they should be, viz —equals of othfr
men in every respect.
The question was then taken on Mr. Sru

Mure Corruption. —lt was stated lately '
by Senator Hale, 0 Republican, from New j
Hampshire, that from official documents that
had come under liis notice, advertised arti
cles in the Navy Department had been ol
fored at one hundred per cent above the
market price. He added :
“For instance, an article costing twelve
dollars had been furnished at one hundred
and fifty dollars. That I have seen in offi
cial statements.
MrfWilson—Did the Government take if
at that price?
Mr. Hale—The Government took it; dim
market price being twelve dollars, the con
tract .price one hundred and fifty dollars.— -
I will mention another article that I have
seen in the same list: Gotten waste, the
market price.of which was twenty-nine cents,
proposals at eighty cents. Tilings of tiiat
sort I have seen from the official record of
tho Denartment.
[Cr’ “ Vote for Curtin and avoid the draft,”
said Republican journals before tho election.
Tax the people jo avoid tho draft,” is the
cry since the election. What will the next
bo ?— Ex.
Why some other lie or false pretense of
course. They have been changing names,
cheating, robbing and sailing under lalso
promises ever since they had an existence.
OCT” A correspondent of the -SeliusgrovC
Times asserts that a medical student from
Freehurg, Snyder county, recently brought
homo part of the skin of a negro tcench and
is getting it tanned at Geo. Ililbish’s tan
nery, intending to make a pair of riding
gloves. The correspondent wonders whether
old Aho is,stealing negroes for their hides.
[C7* The special election for a State Sena
tor in tho Indiana and Armstrong district, to
succeed Major White, (a prisoner at Rich
mond), took place on Friday last. ilr. St.

by 1125 majority. Tho majority for’CußTiN
in this same district last fall was 2175. De

XT' The Maysvillo Bulletin (Kentucky) is
not over complimentary to Mr. Lincoln. It
says
“ Tho Chicago Journal says that wo have
called President Lincoln an idiot. We nev
er did. One time we tricd'to ho sarcastic as
we could, and called him Iloucst Old Abe.”
il Pint for Teace,
Every ono knows that tho Springfield
(Mass.) Republic.m is ono of the ablest and
most influential supporters of .the Adminis
tration in.-New England. As a Significant
symptim of returning reason on the part of
some of the Republicans, the following arti
ole is, we conceive, nf sufficient, importance
to justify its publication in full. If our rea
ders will make it a point of showing it to
i their friends wboare, from mistaken but pa
motlvcs, sustaining tho Administra
may do much good. Says tho Repub-
triotie
tion, it
lie (in
Since winter suspends operations, why can
nut this time be employed to makepeace I Vir
tually it is an arm'stic; though not having
been so declared, tho’T.ovcrnment and the
peop'C make no uMti ot it. On our side wo
should at once eoinmcnco the discussion of
reconstruction; and on the rebel side the pent
np feeling against the Richmond dynasty,
that has been growingstronger in consequence
of their defeats in 1803, would find vent, and
they too, would talk about tlmir future con
dition. Beconatruetionists I ke those of North
Carolina and Georgia would speak, and a ful
ler announcement ol loyal sentiments would
he. made in three months than wo have had
in three years of war. It would bo the death
lebeldnm, and it would produce a revolution
in public sentiment here. When Charles if.
returned to England to tie received with glad
ness, he said he would have come hack years
before, had he understood the sentiment of
the nation. As long ns men stand with arms
in their hands, or in hostile attitude, they
fear ami hate each other; hut when they
speak and look into each other’s eyes, if rea
son is not overcame by madness they may ho
friends. All, that ia'noeded for the restora-
tion of the Union—since the people on both
sides are tired ol war—is that the parties
should speak to each other. There would
have been no rebellion if we had known each
oilier belter—and the war emil I not continue,
if now we could c*me to that knowledge.
, The South acted on its fear*, which wore
groundless. If they could have seen the
facta as they were, that throe in four at least
of all the people designed them no harm, but
would have shod th<*ir hlood to defend the
rights of Smith Carolina, Georgia and Mis
sissippi, as quick w* of Massachusetts, New
York and M o ngan, they w-mld never have
lifted an arm in rebellion. They were delu-
ded and cheated. Th.y conjured up a phan
tasm—a. devil, and give thorn-elves to its di
rection-; and like Smbiui carrying the Old
Man ol the Sea, they will bo slaves to that
deception till they rid themselves of the bur
den and lift themselves to the light.
Jfwe have not heon as much deceived, it is
; very evident that tivint/ uf our people are la
\ bonny tinder ,crronrou.'t imprrxsionx. Hence
| comes the universal denunciation; ihe as-
sumption that every man in tho South is fin
enemy to the North ; tho affirmation of tho
Wendell Phillipses that there is no loyal man
in the South who has not a black skin ; and
the res dutions and propositions of the half-in
sane radicals. in Congress that the war should
be for conquest, subversion of all former in
stitutions. the subjugation of the white race,
the raising to an equality with ourselves the
African population, the abolition of the
States, and the forcing upon arnillion square
miles of territory ami six millions of people
the ideas, opinions and modes of life that be
long to New England, and which can he done
. in;it as easy, and no more so, as England can
'implant her civilization and. religion on Ire
land. Wt* give itasour opinio.i lliat we lal.o •
under adeiusnm ; and it ‘the people of the
South can over speak wo shall find that we
have been fighting against a majority in ma
ny of those States who have been overcome
'and hold In subjection and led to the battle
field Ijv tho armed traitors. While they de
sired nothing more than the perpetuation of
the L ilion and the Co-.rnttutioa their lathers
gave them. As long as this is an actual cmi
liu-l of arms we inu-t war op m all engaged
in st. We cannot impure li'iw tiny came to
be in battle against tm* Government; hut we
i have the doty of d.-uoying all who are so
amived. 'lint over the rebels gain
1 ed hv the uprising of the Smthercn people'
| would he of much moe value in restoring
i ihe Union than v ’mil? in the field; and
! they would obviate the necessity of more
I bloodshed. To this wc hope to see it come
j ;i t last—a party in rebellion against the re-
I hellion ; and that wo ‘•hall sen. whenever the
I people there dare'to d'seuss the question.
The reason why there can he no suspen
sion of arms and no consideration with tho
people of measures linking to re-union and
peace, is simply thm— (hal the Radicals in'll
not permit il. Jeff I)a\ls and his friends are
contending for indcpLMidencG ; they will not
admit the idea of rr-union. They would
rather lose ten battles than have one Slate
like North Carolina hold a convention to
consider that subject; fov "every word spo
■ ken would bn none disastrous to them than
j a bullet from a loyal rilie. They have staked
ill, and will die rather than submit. So on
j ur side we have a' parly that are fighting
I for emancipation. It is all tnoy care about.
"They hare no desire tome a restoration of the
Gvccrmnriif more Ilian Jeff Davis has. They
do not hesitate la declare everywhere and in
the most open manner the/, they prefer dis
union to the oi l Union, with the Constitution
as it now is. And this they term loyalty,
and denounce restorationista as traitors. —
Strange enough they make a large part of
the people behove that it is treason; and
there are Tory few public men in the country
.who dare to discuss—farthor'ihan tho parlies
1 will \ 0.-init them, the question of restoring the
Union as it was established by the fathers of
1 1770 ami understood by JUd'cison, Madison,
• Andrew Jackson, -and John Quincy Adams.
While, therefore, the Jclf Davis party rules
the finuth/thero can lie no peace, no approach
lo peace, as there can be no cessation of war.
and while the Garrison and Phillips men con
trol tho ] opular current of the North, tho-o
can he nothing but such measures as will be
resisted at the South ho long as a man can bo
had ; and. in-the end, if Hoy rule in .that end,
the}* will not restore the Union, but give us
a--conquered country to bo hold as Russia
holds Poland, and Austria holds Hungary.

.Webster on Military Kei-ddlics. —The
frequency and earnestness with which Mr.
Webster discussed’tha probabilities and ef
fects of a war between the North and South
suggests that none of our statesmen had a
more correct apprehension of the future than
he. Ilfs readiness to compromise, when the
sections were solidly opposed to each other,
and the solemnity with which ho impressed
constitutional obligations, seem to have been
prompted by fear of such a contest as is now
convulsing the nation. In his oration deliv
ered Jurio 17th, 1813, upon the completion
of the Buaiser Hill monument, ho said :
“A military Republic, a governmentfound
od on mock elections, and supported only by
the sword, is a movement, indeed, hot a ret
rograde and disastrohs movement, from the
regular and old fashioned monarchichal sys
tem. If men would enjoy the blessings of .re
publican government they must govern them
selves by reason, by. mutual connscl and con
sultation, by a sense and feeling of general
interest, and by the acquiescence of the mi
nority in the will of the majority, properly
expressed ; and above all the military must
be kept, according to the language of our
bill of rights, in strict subordination- to the
civil authority. Wherever this lesson is not
both learned and practiced there can bb no
political freedom. Absurd, preposterous is-it,
a scoff, a satire on free forms of constitutional
liberty, for forms of government to ho pre
scribed by military leaders,-and the right ol
suffrage to bo exercised at the point °f the
sword.” ,
If he was alive to-day his successor in the
Senate of the United States would request an
order for his banishment or imprisonment,
and the President would, grant the request
Such an intellectual giant as ho, advocating
Such general principles of duty and policy as

TheV “Want no Investigation!—Jinn.
Fernando Wood offered a resolution in Con
gress for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the enormous frauds perpetrated
by Government officials. • Thud. Stevens, one
of the vilest, meanest, wretches on this side
of hades, and leader of the Abolitionists in
Congress, moved to table it, and it was agreed
to. the whole block posse voting for it.—
When the Democratic party was in powdr,
whenever the charge of fraud was made
against any one* in the employ of the Govern
ment, u committee was at once appointed at
the instance of the Democrats, to ferret out
the fraud and bring the offender to justice.
But how different now ! 13very Department
of the Government is recking with corruption,
and yet the party that is charged with the
administration thereof refuses to investigate
those frauds. 'At,this time, when billions of
dollars nr* yearly expended and everybody
scorns to have his hand in the public Trea
sury, and the people are ground to the earih
by the burden of taxation, it is but right and
proper that the tux-payers should know what
becomes of their hard-earnings. But no, the
Abolitionists. arc robbing the Government,
they are stealing, and they are determined
to let nobody know how much they steal, or
where or by what means. Truly, this is a
beautiful Administration! And it is the
Administration that the preachers ask God to
bless and to prosper, that is. give them a lit-
tle more stealing, plunder and blood ! What

The Escape From Richmond.
HOW TUE UNION SOLDIERS LEFT THE
LIBBY PRISON.
FIFTY-OXE DAYS MAKING A TUNNEL,
Pursuit by the Rebel Cavalry,
Baltimore, Feb; 10.—The escaped Union
tfiicors reached here this morning, and leave
for Washington this afternoon.
.The account oftheir escape is full of thril-
ling interest, but, for prudential reasons,
many of the particulars are withheld from
publication at present. They were fifty-one
days engaged in making a tunjiel. Having
managed to find access to the cellar of their
prison, they commenced to work, relieving
one another as opportunity afforded. Their
instruments were enso knives, pocket knives,
cLiseltr, and files. Twice they had to-ahan
dou their work arid commence anew, on ac
count *of obstructions which they could not
pass. They had hoped to ‘have avdiletbtfiiom
selvea Of a culvcit, but found it impractica
ble. After getting through the wall, they
disposed of the excavated soil by drawing it
out in a spittoon, which they attached to a
cord.
This would be filled by the party at work
in the tunnel, and pulled out into the collar
by their companions, who disposed of it by
spreading it in shallow layers over the floor,
concealing it beneath the straw. The work
was neoessarialy very slow. So close, was
the atmosphere in the tunnel, that they could
remain in it but a few moments at a time,
and their candles would go out.
At one time, they got so near the bed-of
the street that a small hole, about the size of
a stove pipe, broke through ; but, fortunate
ly, this was not observed by the guard, and
was a,great service, admitting air and ena
bling them to prosecute their work more rap*
idly. The tunnel vvhon comnloted, was about
fifty feet long, and opened into an old tobac
co shed beyond the line of guards. As soon
as they found the way clour, they emerged
slowly in small squads of two and three, and
sauniercred off until-they got clear of the
guards, making their way towards the Wil
iaraaburg road by the shortest route.
In order to their pursuers, whom
they know‘would seon’bo on their track they
scattered as much as possible. Many wore
their lulrdihips and sufferings, and fieqocnt
their narrow escapes from the rebel cavalry,
who next morning were bush-wncking in
every direction for them. The joy which
they experienced when theyUrs.tcaughtjdght
of our troops, sent out to help and protect
; them from their pursuers, cannot bo ex
pressed.

Reported Defeat of Polk by General Skeuian.
12,000 Prisoners Reported Taken.
Huntsville, Ain., Feb. 20.—Olfieial infor
mation was received nt Gen. Logan’s head
quarters to-day, that the Robots, supposed to
be Roddy’s command, attempted to cross the
Tennessee river at throe different ferries, but
were driven back by Dodgo’e troops, ihc
loss of the Union troopa was very slight. .
It is rumored hero that Gen. Shcrm,an baa
had a fight with the rebel General Pulk near
Brandon and whipped him, taking 12,000
prisoners.
[After the above had been put in typo, wo
received a daily paper from Washington, da
ted the 23d February, which pronounces all
contained in the above despatch a canard;
in qthor words, a tissue of falsehoods from
beginning to end. The telegraph is in the
hands of the tools of the Administration, and
for speculating objects is used to deceive and
blind the people. Nothing from Adminis

They have completed the pontoon bridge

Gen. ihiskcll encountered the enemy two
miles out yesterday, on the south sale of the

It is reported that the rebels have been re
inforced by Buckner, with a heavy force of
artillery.
A despatch from Chattanooga to the G«-
zcilc , dated the 21st inst., gives a rumor that
two divisions of the enemy occupied Marys
ville yesterday, but afterwards retired.
It is said that the rebels have appeared on
the Tennessee line, below Loudon, blockad

crossed the Tennessee, between Florence and

Caiiio, Feb. *2O. —An nflicer who has jcM j
arrived here from the Big Black river, re- *
ports that before reaching Jackson a skir- |
misb ensued between a part of General Sher
man's forces and a b-idy of from 4,000 to 5,
000 rebels, in which the enemy were defeat
ed and 40 of them captured.
Our arm} bad passed through Jackson.
Miss., and two columns of the enemy were
retreating across the Pearl river, ko precipi
tately that Ins pmintoons, together with two
pieces of artillery and a nnmherof prisoners,
fell into our hands. Our forces seiacd pro
visions of all kinds and swept on.
Givtit dissatisfaction is stUd to exist among
the Kentucky, Tennesson and Mississippi
regiments, and a large number of deserters are
coming into our lines. General Sherman
reached Meridian ton days after leaving
Vicksburg.
A portion of. General Tuttle's command
which got behind and was cut off from the
expedition, had returned to \ icksburg.—
Gen. M‘Arth«r was in command qf the dis
trict of Vicksburg. Gen. M’Pborson having
accompanied General Sherman with most of
his corps. .
Refuges from Mobile report that the in
habitants of that city feel secure from any
attack. 15,000 rebel troPpi arc reported to
be in or about that neighborhood.
A sentiment in favbriof a rcconbtruc.tinn
of the Union prevailed toji considerable ex
tent, and it would be expressed as soon as the
protection of the United. States government
was offered. Nothing was known of the re
volt at Fort Morgan.
The report that Gen. Smith’s com mu ml of
cavalry ami mounted infantry, on an expedi
tion into Mississippi, had a fight with For
rest’s cavalry near Grenada is not confirmed.
It is not believed that the guerrillas will
keep up a musketry fire upon the steamers
that sail below Memphis.
General' Buckner’s command is gaining
much favor in Memphis by the judicious ad
ministration of affairs. Ice is forming heavi
ly on the Mississippi at Cairo, and for fifty
