Ido too favors negro-equality and is determined to enforce it hy a State law. On this subject the Lancaster Iniclligcnccr sajs : ••In the Slate Senate on AVednesdny Mr. Lowry, whli seems.to be recognized ns the leader of the Republican majority in that body, offered a resolution instructing the ju diciary committee to present a' bill prohibit ing any street railway company from making any rulo or regulation to exclude any race of people from their cars. It was adopted yens 1(1, nays 13. “ The committee will of course present a bill in accordance with these instructions, and it will probably pass both branches of the Legislature by a party vote. Gov. Cur tin’s instincts may revolt against it, but we fear bo will not bo found to have nerve enough to arrest it by bis veto. Wo regard it ns' tolerably certain, therefore, that our Republican friends of this goodly city nnd county of Lancaster, when they visit Phila delphia next summer, will enjoy the coveted privilege of being flnnked on both sides by negroes when they take seats in street cars. To enjoy this privilege in its fullest extent,, they should go down, if possible, at a time when the thermometer is ranging between 8:3 and 95 degrees. Wa expressed tho opinion, some time ago, that if the Republican party held together four years longer, tho next Presidential elec tion would bo fought on tbo square issue of Negro Equality. It is true that Mr. Stevens has. within the last few days, from his seat in Congress, denied that he is in favor of Negro Equality, and we presume nine-tenths of our Republican friends would make a si milar denial if. they were interrogated on this subject. But they do not seem to know their own hearts. For years they have waged tho bitterest war against slavery, and all this time they have denied that they wore Aboli tionists. ” They will deny it now, at tho very moment that they are calling upon the De nn/grnlic members of Congress to aid them in violating tho spirit of the Constitution, in order mi to amend that instrument as to abolish slavery in all parts.of tho country:— Tho virus of. Abolitionism seems to have worked itself into their blood so insidiously that limy themselves aro unconscious of its prose nro. And so it is with Negro Equality. It is creeping on them by insidious steps.-r- Thc-y may not mean to yield to it now, hut the (ley is not far distant when it will have complete possession of them.” . IST The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser is after Chief Justice Chase; the President and tho legal tender not, rather sharply, in the following paragraph, which la going the rounds of the press: -“ A Tuan in, Fairfield, Ohio stole $45 in greenbacks. .'By statute in that State, the stealing ofs3s constitutes grand larceny whch is q penitentiary offense. The lawyer.who defended hi n, pleaded that the statute con templated’SSri 'in value, and that as the notes stolen were worth less than the sum in gold, tho prisoner was. only ghilty of potty larceny. The Court sustained the plea.” . It scorns, thon, that tho legality of tho le gal-tender act is not yet definitely settled.— Tho decision of tho judge in Ohio reversing that of'tho courts in Now York and Pennsyl vania. Wo suppose it will inevitably be brought before the Supremo Court of the Uni ted States for final settlement and then it will find Its putative father ready to receive it with paternal affection and kindness. Had this subject any influence in securing his appoint ment to that'bigh position ? If yen, it is in 'good' taste, and is it just to the people of tho United Slates to place the originator cf so important a measure in a position to confirm its legality \ • Tim Key of Richmond.- -A correspondent of the Ncic.i asks rfholhcr Major Gon.

Moreover, there is no reason in urging a • I measure which will defeat itself: ii carried | out. The whites will not ride with the blacks, ns a general thing, and it is certain that if the railways are deprived of the sup port of the white population, they must .be a source of heavy loss to the companies, who will bo compelled to close their business.— Hence, a foolish effort to secure conveyance for the colored people will operate practical ly to deny it to the whites, and ultimately make it impossible for any corporation to af ford such accommodation to either race.— Furthermore, if It bo only right, and just, and humane, to do away with all discrimi nation .in our street railway cars, between negroes and whites, why should not the same rule he run out in its applicatburfo theatres, churches, and the like? If there should be no exclusion of‘‘respectable persons, from the passenger railway cars, on the ground of complexion,” negro men and women should be admitted to the Academy of Music on the same terms of equality with thewbites. W6 1 should like to see Messrs. Carey, Rawle, Bokcr, ci id omne genus, sitting pn the stock holders' benches,with a score of “ .respecta- j ble” blackamoors, while the dress circle was ! picturesquely variegated in colorandimpres sively perfumed by a liberal sprinkling among the*fairer auditors of the .elite of- the colored femininity of South street.

How tbc friends of humanity, freedom, equality, and all .that sort of thing, would rejoice and rub their hands at the spectacle .ns .being the proudest manifestation of Christian civiliza tion and progress yet vouchsafed to tile nine teenth century ? Will not the Messrs.

Since his arri val he has been kept, or ban, kept himself from the public eye, and his movements and whereabouts are shrouded in mystery.

Ho has been met accideiitally by several of his old acquaintances, and. their meeting wasvoharaoterized by the utmost cordiality on both sides. Ilo.is'flnid to have had an interview with the chief executive officers of the South., What passed at those interviews we need not expect to know until Mr. Blair returns to the United States, when every thing wilt bo published in full in the New y ork Tribune, and other New York papers. Mr. Blair’s ostensible "business in Richmond, or rather presumed' business hero, for there is nothing ostensible about him in his, busi ness or movement, is to ascertain whether anything dan bo done to bring about a cessa tion pf hostilities and ,tlid end of the war.

It is understood that Mr. Seward expressed the opinion that Mr, Foote was in our lines when taken by the Rebels, that he had renounced his faith in their cause, and was consequently under our protection, and his safety will he looked after by us as,much ns though he were at present a member of our Senate. Mr. Foote has resigned bis seat in the Re bel House of Representatives,.assigning as reasons, “ The suspension of the writ of ha beas corpus, the passage of aots in secret ses sion, ngainst the -interests of the people " that the Senate and the majority of the House are in the interest of Jeff. Davis, and have passed such laws ns lend to extinguish the, liberties of the people, and disastrously affect their interests.” Instead of starvation, Davis and his friends live ns well as they ever didjn Richmond, the Rebel Treasury footing the bills. 1 Mrs. Foote, is . a middle-aged woman, not over forty-five, end in excellent health. She is accompanied by her youngest,son, of three years, the rest of her family being in Nash villo. . . • Mrs. Foote doesn’t think the Blairs’ mis sion, if intended for peace, will avail any thing. ' Many of the people of the South are weary of their burdens and losses, and would willingly quit and make peace, if they could ho guarantied an nmno.sty and secured their property and slaves. It is intended, by Davis, to arm and equip two hundred thousand slaves, for the,next summer campaign. Had Mr. Foote reached here,-it was his intention to try and mediate fordiis oppressed people, independent of the Rebel ohief, and failing to make peace, to travel in some for eign ulime, and eud his days in a calm review of his past life.- Return of F.
