Future of the Blockacle-Ruaners,
If there be grief in Rebeldom on account
of the capture of Fort Fisher, there is also
candor. The Richmond Whig confesses
with a sigh that of course there must now
' be an end of blockade-running and of re
ceiving supplies from abroad. The ques
tion arises, What will become of the British
fleet of blockade-runners ? It is a nume
rous fleet, upon which a vast amount of
capital has been expended. It yielded
large profits to those who owned, those
who chartered, those who sailed it- Much
capital has been invested in forming and
in maintaining it, and now, Porter and
Terry commanding, the blockade of Wil
mington has become a reality, and the run
ners will have nothing more to do. We
should not wonder at their soon being in
the market, to be sold for what they may
bring. Not very well adapted for ocean
navigation, they are excellent coasters—
not large, but swift, reliable, and well
built, Money was not spared when the
Lairds of Birkenhead, the Natiebs of
Glasgow, and others of that craft were em
ployed to construct them. In this country,
where many of them are ours by right
of conquest, they are appreciated accord
ing to their value. In our coasting trade,
us rapid transports, as Government mes
sengers, or for the purpose of carrying
mails and despatches, they may be used to
great advantage. Their day is over as
blockade-runners, and it is time for them
to be honestly employed. Put them up
to auction; they are too good to be broken
up.
The inevitable dispersion of the British
blockade-running fleet will carry dismay,
not only among the sympathizers of Eng
land and Scotland, but into Halifax and
other British North American ports, into
“ the stili-vext” Bermoothes, which used
to rejoice in harboring and supplying
them, and into the British West India
islands, where they always found safety
and sympathy, provisions and coal, friendly
entertainment and undeviating assistance.
In the Bahama Islands they will be missed
and-mourned; not without cause, for, be
tween the runners and rfhe pirates, the in
habitants have had a lively and profitable
time of it since our war began. Four years
ago, Nassau, the capital of this British
colony, was a small seaport town, with a
stagnant population of 7,000. At present,
In consequence of being the rendezvous and'
port of refuge for the blockade-runners, its
population is estimated at aver 10,000, and
its trade has become considerable in its
way.- The British Governor and other
-officials not only winked at the continual
violation of neutrality by the blockade
runners and the pirates, but rather osten
tatiously paraded their countenance of
them. When Kaphakl Sbmmes, late of
the Alabama, first visited Nassau, he was
received with all the honors; the Chief
Justice and all the leading officials paid
him a visit of ceremony; the merchants
and their wives hastened on board to greet
him; and the Governor not only ordered
that he should be allowed to coal and refit,
but entertained him, in s the Government
House, aB an honorable and honored guest.
Ichabod! Icbabod! Porter and Tebry
have put an end to blockade-running, and
Nassau must relapse into its old stagnation.
The persons in England who owned and
chartered the blockade-runners must also
look blank when they learn that there is an
end of that very free trade. The peculiar
imports*which the South paid them large
ly for will remain on their hands—not
very saleable, because peculiar, and not
worth much the cost of the raw,
material. .Indeed, not worth so much, for
they are generally not adapted for any
market but that for which they were
■manufactured. Hitherto, these persons
haye made enormous profits, so they can,
afford the present reverse.
Lastly, all shipbuilding for the blockade
running adventurers has been suddenly
cheeked by the capture of Fort Fisher,
Glasgow and Liverpool were the principal
ports from- which the runners were de
spatched. At one fell sweep, the ship
yards in those places must suspend ope
rations on account of the neutrality
breakers, and heavy losses to them may be
-anticipated. "We shall look out, in the
Gaeette, for the names of the leading ship
builders abroad, in the lists of new bank
rupts. What Queen Victoria’s procla
mations, what the Bristol law itself could
not present, has been suddenly brought to
a stand-still by the action of our soldiers,
sailors, and marines at Fort Fisher, under
the leadership of Admiral Porter and
General Terry.
111-doing may triumph for a season, but
retribution is inevitable. Equal to past
gains will be future losses. The law
breakers, some of whom (such as Lindsay
and Laird) also are law-maker 3 in Eng
land, have reached the end of their tether.
They will have to recall such of their
blockade-runners as escape being captured
by us, and sell them as best they can. No
doubt they will turn up, by-and-bye, in
different parts of the world, under new
names, but their former occupation is closed
on them for ever, thanks be to God. Let
us wish them a virtuous future to atone for
a law-breaking past.
British Anti-American Feeling.
RocHßFOtrcAm/r’s celebrated aphorism,
that “ there is something notunpleasing in
the misfortunes of our best friends,” has a
great deal of truth in -it, and should he
borne in mind when we indulge in conjec
ture or reflection upon the cause of the hos
tility against this country which the ma-'
jority of the British aristocracy and go
verning classes have so unequivocally and
even offensively manifested. England pro
fessed to have the most friendly, even the
most affectionate, relations with us. If one
of our distinguished men visited what used
to be tenderly called “the Old Country,”
be was made much of, feted, complimented,
honored, and on all occasions when toats
were drank some orator glibly boasted that
the two great peoples were “ the same in
blood, language, and laws.” When such
men as Webster and Everett, Seward
tmd Bancroft, Irving and Douglas,
Prescott and Sumner, visited England,
they were nobly received, and the high
est personal and public courtesy ex
tended to them. But there Tankled
all the time—perhaps unsuspected by
those whose breast had received the
barb—an undefined feeling, we will not
say of hatred, but of discontent, at the
greatness which we had achieved ia what
migUt be considered almost a miraculously
short time; but yesterday, as it were, a
batch of dissatisfied colonists, and
one of the greatest, as well as by far the most
progressive of civilized nations. Mobdecai
sitting at the gate of Ahabuerus was not £L
more unpleasant object to Baman, the son
of Hammbdatha the Agagite, than was this
country to England on account of its sur
prising and rapidly increasing progress.
True, we supplied them with the cotton
out of which they made their largest
profits, and with the grain and flour
which they needed after their frequently
deficient harvests, and, as they confessed,
-were also the best customers they had.
But, there lay theming— we had become
great too rapidly. To suit British ideas,
yie ought to have waited the legitimate
“’thousand years” before our flag pre
sumed to brave' “ the battle and the
breeze.” - .
It is only human nature, after all. A
rough countryman invents a piece of ma
chinery by which labor' is saved and the
cost of some branch or branches of manu
facture much cheapened, makes money by
It buys or builds a fine house, has car
riages and horses, fares sumptuously, and
4s clothed in purple and fine linen, put of
the profits of his ingenuity, and the village
'Bquire, who-looked down upon him when
he was a mere artisan living on day-vrages
and clothed in homespun, becomes indig
nant because of his prosperity—because, in
fact, he has stood still, While the other has
gone forward. As with men, so with na
tions.
Many of the English journals are trying
hard to lash their readers into increased
hostility against us beeause our Executive,
acting above-board, has determined .to in
crease, if needs be, our defences on the
waters which mainly form the great
natural.boundary between our northern
border States and British,America. They
pretend ■ that our notice to do this ought
to be held equivalent to a declaration
of .war by the United States against Eng
land. Iffihese writers are so ignorant, if
they believe what they write, it may be
presumed, we hope, that the high officials
who rale the British Empire, in the name
of that excellent Victoria, whose virtues
all admire and with whose griefs all true
hearts sympathize, that the Palmerston
Cabinet are fully aware that bur Presi
dent’s action is of defen and
not of causeless hostility! Yet, though
they may know this, it would not surprise,
us to find the Queen’s speechf at the en
suing commencement of the Parliamen
tary session, earnestly regret4hat the naval
and -military expenditure of Great Britain
cannot be prudently diminished, because
of apprehensions of enmity from the United
States. Mr. Bright and Mr. Cokdek, ex
pressing the popular feeling, call out “di
minish the expenditure, repudiate the
anomaly of continuing a costly war es
tablishment, in times of profound peace,”
and Mr. Gladstone, -who holds the
public purse, and labors hard to reduce
taxation, echoes their demand, but the
Aristocracy are toomueh Interested in con
tinning the expense to heed any/demand of
this character. The army and the navy
supply their younger sons with liberal
, means of living on the public, and the civil
departments are also'crowded with the ca
dets of nobility and of the squirearchy. To
reduce the expenditure would be .to take
the bread and butter out of the mouths of
these delicate creatures, exquisites of the
first water, so well adapted to lounge in the
Circumlocution office, among their most
laborious duties being the signing a receipt
for their quarter’s salary. These young
men, as a class, are unqualified for earning
their living by the exercise of hand or head
in the ordinary avocations of life. At once
poor and proud, they are above such labor
as that, but are not above living on the
public. Retrenchment which would put
crowds of them out of office Would
throw them back on their aristocratic rela
tions, whose interest and effort it is, there
fore, to forward whatever will push back
the hand of economy. Hence, we have the
British aristocracy desirous of establishing
a bad feeling against this country, which
is far new, too vaßt, too liberal, and too
prosperous for their taste.
Fair Flay for Women.
Of course we must make some allowance
for the earnestness of the ladies who assem
bled at Jefferson Hall on Thursday eve
ning. They met to consider what they
regarded grievous wrongs, and we are dis
posed to agree with them. According to
the report it seems that an effort is being
made to adopt altogether the contract sys
tem in the Arsenal, and the sewing-work,
which has heretofore been given to deserv
ing women of limited means, who found
themselves compelled to earn a livelihood,
is to be distributed among certain contrac
tors, who take the work in bulk, at Govern
ment prices, and compel these women to
work for greatly inferior wages. One of
these ladies, a Mrs. Brooks, whom we
have doae ourselves the honor to folly re
port, states her ease as follows:
The work has been diminishing at the Arsenal for
some time) and now It !b all gone except shirts, and
these are offered to ns at the expense of the poor old
shirt makers. The women on military clothing oan
make np all the shirts In two or four weeks that are
now to he made np, and then there will be no more
work for anybody. Must we first starve the poor
old shirt women, and then ourselves 1 Let me give
yon a list of the prioes paid by the contractors and
those paid by the Government: . T
Cont’rs prices. Arsenal prices.
Shirts 7 cents. 18 cents.
Drawers 7 “ IS “
Trousers 1.17020 “ 40 «
Blouses ...13@ie “ 42 “
Cavalry jackets 40050 " 120 «
Infantry coats.... 50076 " 125 “
Greatcoats........ 40 •' 90 “
These ate the two rates. Now,the Government
makes nothing by the contractors. Now, what are
we going to do inaush a case as this? The women,
who can do four or -five times the work that Is given
ont, are supplied with a bundle of shirts whioh yields
us $1 U per week. Will that keep you! It will not
keep me, I can assure you, Who are some of the
contractors % They skimp their work, they out the
capes short, the waists short, and then, if anything
is said, they blame the women who make up-the'’
work, and are ready to swear that they stole it.
We prefer that Mrs. Brooks should tell
her own story in her homely way. And,
as we have no reason to doubt her state
ment, we feel bound to ask the attention of
the authorities to the subject. We have
always thought that our Arsenal, as far as
the laboring women are concerned, was
managed badly. - There is no reason at all
why women should not he admitted to
Government work, with all the privileges
of men. In our Navy Yard, Mint, and
Custom-Bonse the work is not given out to
contractors, hut men are employed directly
by the Government, and for a certain amount
of iabor they receive a certain amount of
money.- There is no intermediate contractor
to step in and eat up one-half of their
labor; the work is well done and the Go
vernment is satisfied. Why should it be so
at the Arsenal? These women must do the
work in the end ; their fingers must stitch
together the shirts and blouses, and the
only question is: Whether they shall do it
for the moderate sum paid by the Govern
ment or for the inean and insufficient price
paid by contractors? Let us study Mrs.
.Brooks’ hint carefully in every instance.
The contractor makes over one hundred
per cent. In cavalry jackets they make
nearly twe hundred per cent., and, from
what we know of contractors generally, we
have no doubt that they only grade their
profits according to the necessity of the
poor women, who must submit to their ex
tortion or starve.
Now, would the Government not inter
fere and secure fair play for women ? This
may be a small matter to many of those
who read this column, but it involves life
and happiness to thousands of worthy peo
ple. We aTe told that there are eight thou
sand names on the books of the Arsenal,
and Mrs. Brooks tells us further “ that
many of them are the names of mothers of
nine children—l suppose that we might
say four children to every one—that makes
thirty-two thousand children to support.
We have eight thousand men in the
or killed in battle.” Now, certainly the
interest of these thirty thousand wo
rsen and children should be fostered
by the Government. Why bring in the
contractors at all ? According to Mrs. Yea
'ger, the president of the meeting, these
women can make sixty-four thousand
pants, and sixty thousand sack coats per
week; and she very pertinently asks,
“ What does the Government gain by ad
vertising for proposals ?” It would be as
easy, it seems to us,’to give this workout
directly from the Arsenal, and to place it
under the care of competent Government
inspectors. The Government would be
served as well as under any possible con
tract system, and thousands oj deserving
women would be enabled to support their
families without misery and privation.
Bev. Pft.t,a Martin, who will deliver
the second lecture of the series announced
by the "Social, Civil, and Statistical Asso
ciation of the colored people of Pennsyl
vania, next Wednesday, is a man of .no
ordinary ability, and has in the Eastern
States and England the reputation of one
of the most eloquent of modern orators.
Intelligent colored men consider him at
least the equal of Frederick'Douglass.
But be has other claims than those of'intel
lect and eloquence upon the public. In
England he has done good work for Ame
rica. Upon his return, some months ago,
such men as William Cullen Bryant,
•Cyrus W.Field, Henry W ard Beecher,
called a meeting to give him a public recep
tion, had acknowledge how valuable had
been his services to the Union. Mr. Mar
tin is not personally well known in Phila
delphia, but his patriotism will insure him
a welcome. Such a man, speaking for free
dom and Union, is better than argument
for the colored race; it is proof of all
that it claims.
The appearance of Mr. George W. Cur
tis, to-morrow evening, in this city, will
enable the citizens of Philadelphia to pay
a proper compliment to one-of freedom’s
most worthy and gifted sons. This is the
first appearance of Mr. Curtis in Philadel
phia since the cowardly attempt of the
sympathizers with slavery to mob him, in
1860., Great events have transpired since
Mr. Curtis last paid us a visit. When he
left Philadelphia the enemies of freedom
were strong enough to prevent free speech.
The Philadelphia to which he returns has
been elevated and chastened by war, and
Mr. Curtis will receive the welcome ho
deserves.

The President thus replied: “ My memory does
not recall an instance of disagreement between
Sweden and the United States. Your predecessor
was most agreeable in his Intercourse with this Go

Yon may be assured that on my partevery occasion
will be Improved to exhibit the sincere desire which
the Government entertains for the prosperity and
welfare of the Government an? Kingdom of Swe

COWARDLY ASSAULT OH HON. WILLIAM D.
KELLEY.
Late on Friday evening, as Judge Kelley, Hon.
Ohakles O’Neill, and Habpbe were sit
ting at the tea-table at Willard’s, one Judge Field,
who Is claiming a seat la the House as a member
from Louisiana, remarked in a loud voice to Judge
Kelley: “Well, Judge, you were all afraid to
show your hands on admitting our delegation,” ac
companied with an oath, to which Judge Kelley
made no reply, as he had no acquaintance with
Field ; but on the continuance of tils Insults Judge
Kelley replied that when, his name was ealled It
would not take Mm long to decide upon his oase;
to which Field continued his violent talk, with a
“D—n you, your people want us back bad enough,
and you are afraid to face them If you don’t vote for
us." He finally left, threatening Kelley with
personal violence, and on subsequently meeting
Kelley In the corridor, he rushed at him. with a
bowie-knife, and being a more powerful man than
Kelley, collared him, and as Kelley tried to dis
engage himself he.cut his hand open to the bone
with Ms knife. A number of persons rushed up and
disengaged him befbre he could Inflict any danger
ous wound upon him. Kelley was taken to his
room, and Dr. Stone called In to dress his wound.
Field was taken to the station-house, and finally
released on ball of one thousand dollars, for a
further heating, which is to come off thlß afternoon.
THE DRAFT—OPINION OF THE SOLICITOR OF
THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
The opinion or the solicitor of the War Depart
ment, published last August, _ls semiofficially re
produced, asapplicable to the present enrolment
and quotas for 300,000 men to supply deficiencies tur
der the former calls. In that opinion the solicitor
said: “Ifthe number of men were taken into ac
count without regard to the time of their service, It
Is dear that the grossest Inequality would exist la
the respective contributions of the different districts
to the aggregate military service of the Country, and
that at each successive call all accounts of service
preceding’ that call be made up, and the call for
quotas should he such as shall equalize the amount
of service required from each district, in proportion
to the persons therein liable to military service.
“ That districtwhich, In the present drart, furnishes
one-] ears men, cuts up Its burden Into three parts,
and shoulders inly one port at the present year, and
leaves the rest to be met at the next call.
“Thatdistrict which furnishes three-yeaTS men
now gains At once-ln-iba&vcocoit with- the Provost
Marshal General the same benefitTn the quota of
the next draft as though it- had furnished three
times as many men for one year’s service.
“ It is the duty of each district to furnish the full
number of men designated as its quota, and these
men should be received, whether for one, two, or
three-years service. Those districts which furnish
three-years men will be entitled to the full benefit
thereof Ip all future calls.” -

MUCH EXAGGERATED.
Collector Draper, whoa* departure we announced
on tie day be sailed, has written a letter to Ids
(Mends In New York, In which be details wbat be Is
doing and wbat be has seen and beard..
'Some vessels, wbiob were loading wltb potion
under the direction of the Quaitennaster General,
'wereplaced In bis charge on his arrival at Savan
nah, and be wee proceeding with the shipment.
Other vessels bad bean procured, and were also
loading. Two or three schooners were nearly ready
to Ball for New York, and were to be despatched at
once. No accurate account of the cotton has yet
been taken, bat the authorities understand that the
amount has been understatedrather that overstated.
The most active elicits are making to get all the
cotton on shipboard. By order of the military au
thorities, no hindrance of the worthy claimants of
the property Is allowed, though a record of the
olaims Is kept. All transport-steamers which come
to Savannah are to he laden with cotton. It Is esti
mated that twenty vessels, large and small, will be
required to brlnglt all to this port.
It appears that some of the enterprising traders
of New York and this olty, who cleared cargoes for
Fort Royal immediately alter the capture of Sa
vannah, in order to begin the sales of their goods In
that olty at the earliest moment, are likely to meet
with loss. Five or six vessels were despatched
under these clroumstanoes. One or two, it is un
derstood, have been allowed to go to Savannah,
“military necessity" justifying such a move
ment ; but, as prices were fixed by the military:
authorities; great profits are not to be expected.
The Collector advises that no trading ventures be
made in the direction of Savannah for the present.
The people will easily supply themselves with
articles essential to their comfort, though they have
not the means of obtaining many luxuries.
The stories .of suffering In Savannah have been
greatly exaggerated. A well-known citizen of New
York, who had abundant opportunities of ascertain
ing the facts, found that while there was some
want, it was not widely extended. General Sher
man Issued only fonrthonsand rations In Savannah,
exclusive of those for the amy.
The recent movements of our army were made
with nearly all the troops under command of Gene
ral Sherman,whose numbers are much,greater than
is generally supposed. A comparatively small ,gar
rison was to be lea In'Savannah. The confidence
of the army in General Sherman Is described aa're
markable. The private-soldiers have many pet
names for him; he Is familiarly known as “ The
Corporal," “Teomnseh,’- “ Unale Bill," etc., etc.—
every soldier considering that ha has a kind of per
sonal property-in the General’s reputation. That
he would be snooessful in his new campaign no sol
dier doubted for a moment. ’

Since circumstances have suspended any move
ment of magnitude, until the weather and opera
tions elsewhere will admit, it has been determined
upon to turn the present inactivity to the benefit of
the colored soldiersJ It is gratifying to, observe that
ordqrs have been Issued that school houses be built
In each of the regimental damps of negro -troops.
where they am to -uy^zaarenapiaias.
Commissioned officers are inyltedto aid in this good
work when, their engagements will permit;. The
prosecution of this missionary spirit, among this
class of soldiers, has already done much towards ac
quainting them with the elementary stndles and fit
ting them for the positions which they hold in the
service. As an illustration, I may mention the 36th
C. S. O. T., recruited in North Carolina from the
depths ofignorance., has, through tutorship of self
sacrificing spirits, been Improved by hundreds since
they have been In the field. Through, this means,
men have.boon Instructed sufficiently to serve,as
non-commissioned officers. The efforts of the,in
structors are sore to be appreciated by that patient
and persevering Industry which has ever marked
the oharaoter of the race when difficulties were to
bo overcome.
Persons must not always suppose that the utmost,
feeling of bitterness constantly prevails between the
two armies now confronting each other. Whenever
picket firing is Indulged in, the most venomous feeL
ing Is apt to pervade both sides, and ifono is impru
dent enough to exhibit his head to the other, he Is
most certain to get a bullet through it. In front of
Richmond, very unlike Petersburg, there is no
firing. The pickets not unfrequently, and In differ
ent ways, manliest the most cordial feelings for each
other. The colored soldiers are by no means an ex
ception In advancing or reciprocating this harmoni
ous intercourse. Alow days ago this cordiality was
thrilUngly Illustrated in the vicinity of what is
.known as “The Graveyard,” not far from Dutch
Gap. jßetween the two lines there Is a considerable
quantity of corn, which the rebs in their haste were
obliged fto leave, ungathered. For some time the
rebs were rather indisposed to allow our men to
pluck the excellent ears, and not unfrequently fired
upon them, and olalmod the undisturbed privilege
of reaping this entire harvest. By mutual consent,
however, foraging parties of both armies were per
mitted to gather corn without fear of molestation,
and more recently they have been meeting In'the
field for the same object. On one of these occasions
a hog suddenly appeared, from somewhere, to the
Intense gratification of all parties. Both Yanks
andrebs joined In thp ebase wltb much animation,
and upon the best of terms. The anxiety of the
Johnnies to catch the squeeler induced ono of them
to try a shot, the report of which, especially the
w hissing of the ball by the head of one of our men,
brought the bluecoats to.a defensive attitude, who
shouted “Halloo, Johnny! what do you .mean 1”
“lam not shooting at yon," replied graybaek, “but
at that ether hog." The-explanation was satlsfao
toryi 'and the Johnnies being the hungriest, cap
tured porky.
I see no reason to change my opinion in reference
to the evacuation of Richmond. Corroborating tes
timony is dally arriving from the rebel stronghold.
The machinery Is being removed to Danville. The
bankers have already sent their deposits to that
place, and it Is generally believed by tbi people that
the rebel chiefs will soon pack up their traps and
start South. Danville is distant about, one hundred
miles from Rlohmond. / *
The greatest dissatisfaction now exists in the rebel
army. The feeling Is very Intense agtlnst the ac(-
mlstratlon or. Jeff Davis, and if Generil Grant does .
not soon capture him, it is- ssserted'me rebels will
be certain to hang him. ; Ijt is furthei/ assorted that

any longer in Virginia. Virginia and North ftro
llna soldiers were drawn up to bring them to urns,

the rebel authorities deemed best to suppress was
to allow the Georgia troops to return to thelptate..

To the Editor of The Press: .
Sir : There seems now to bo but P m opinion as to
the practise of ejecting Indfrcrimln.xfoiy aU-paraons
of odor from oar olty caw. Judgw Allison jw
donbtedly spoke the sentiments of tb® community
when, in the recent case before him, he daotoed
this practice against humanity and agaUJSt a lugn
civilization. It eught, Indeed, to be clear by this
time to the people of our country every whore mat
responsibility and infamy must eventually attach
themselves to any who, In a Christian community,
dare withhold civil and humane treatment from a
whole class of men on no other consideration than
that of oolor, and that the fostering of tho pubEo
spirit which feeds Itself on coarseness, selfishness,
brutality, should be promptly discountenanced and
frowned down by oil who regard the public weal,
or even their own safety. J. Stoart- Mill says the
assurance of a high, civilization Is to be found only
where Infractions of the public peace rarely or never
occur. -Now, It is just barely possible, though we
doubt It, that the English philosopher and the com
mon sense of mankind are alike mistaken, and that
it is a mark of advanced civilization to conrt in
fraction of the public peace, and stimulate a spirit
of ruffianism, by Indulging wealthy corporations In
the practice of touting paid emissaries to menace,
lay violent hands on, and kick our wives and ohii
drenfrom conveyances upon, which their right to
ride is clear, enough, as upon them the'meanest
white'person is unquestioned.
We hove been somewhat censured for not oftemer
appealing In this matter to our courts. You, sir,
have assured us that there, at least, we should find
impartiality and j ustioe. Surely you will not blame
us If we doubt this assurance. We have been de
nied the übo of these ears under the most aggravat
ing clroumstanoes. Wo have seen aged and Infirm
persons ; mothers, with tender babes to their arms;
Innocent and harmless children, dearer to us than
the apple of our oye; brave and patrlotio soldiers,
maimed in the service of their country—ojeoted
amid the eurses and violence of the paid emissaries
of these wealthy corporations, and in our Bora griev
ances we have appealed to the oourts of law, and
here we have always been baffied and beaten, on the
plainest issue of laot. -The judges {and wo mean
no undue-disrespect to the ministers of the law)
have seemed to handle and discuss our ease as if it
were one to be squared and settled by a mean and
petty prejudice, rather than by law and equity.
We have, moreover, on numberless occasions, ap
pealed to the officers of the public peace, and to the
city’s shame be it said, these officers have, under in
structions from our generally acceptable Mayor,
unilormly.ruß, not to the assistance of us, the out
raged party, but to tho aid of the rude aggressors.
It Is really no wonder if, nnder a reasonable assu
rance of protection In the oourts, and the ready aid
of our Mayor’s police, these oar men should grow
bold and insolent In their defiant ruffianism.
Why should not our olty authorities have Instruct
ed the officers of police to Interfere occasionally In
our behalf, rather than always in behalf of the ag
gressors, and thus put upon them tha onus probandi
of vlndieatlng their tyrannical rules 1
But public sentiment, as we have said, now fairly
.demands » change, 'it Is, therefore, proper that the
public should know what w®> the aggrieved party,
ask. We do not claim to speak for others—for there
are among ns, as among you, honest differences of
opinion- But In speaking for ourselves, we may
possibly speak for a large and Influential class of
colored persons, who, though posseting cultivation,
intelligence, and worth, are not prominent In mat
ters of this kind, and axe not usually heard at public
meetings.
Dot us ray, then,that toe indignantly reject the
proposal to place on our highways and thoroughfares a
labelled negro pete, and we oall upon the colored men
and women of the city to join us ffi this protest
against the inflicting upon us of any such mark of
degradation.
Tho separate oar would be but an exhibition of the
mean spirit of caste, unsatisfactory and humiliating
alike to all classes in the community; It would tend
to foster the very discrimination, and fan the dying
embers of that senseless prejudice which - all would
fain sea removed. Mark the language of Judge
Allison in the oase already referred to: “If this it
not done (i. e., the putting on of separate cars), public
sentiment trill soon break down the present obstruction,
and admit all." That is, keep off theaosepiratecars,
and ail discrimination will soon cease; this lathe
opinion of one who is aoonstomed to weighing evi
dence, and knows whereof ho affirms.
Men of oolor! seif-nspeot before convenience !
Shnn the proscribed or “Jim Crew” oar as you
would any other device for fastening upon us a
mark of degradation, and for bolstering np the
miserable Idea of onr inferiority.
Surely there is nothing unreasonable in the de.
mand that all' oolor distinction shall Immediately
cease on onr olty passenger railways. New Yorketty
(which at most tolerated but one line with the la
belled oars) ,'w Ith a colored population of over twenty
thousand, makes no discrimination as to oolor what
ever. That Is, the olty which has a larger foreign
population than any other on the oontineat, gave
the ultra Seymour-McClollan pro-slavery ticket a
majority of over thirty-five thousand votes, freely
accords her twenty thousand colored men and women
the right to ride unquestioned in all her public con
veyances ; while Philadelphia, which gave ten
thousand majority and upwards for the Republican
ticket, meanly excludes her twenty-eight thousand
blacks from most of her public conveyances, in
Cincinnati, which is on the boundary between
slavery and freedom, and which has a large colored
population, all colored females ride unquestioned In
the eity cars. In a word, the general practice in all
.Northern cities,ls to allow colored persons full and
unquestioned facilities In city travel, Philadelphia
being the marked exception. We do not, however,
forget to applaud the entfre.aholltlpn._pf oolor dla
«in^u—> ou Bmt j and on the Fucn and Sixth'
street lines, though some of the conductors oil tke
latter cling to the meanness of their old ways- and
are quite officious towards oolored passengers, and
have several times, we are credibly Informed,
ushered Into crowded ears uncouth and uncleanly
blacks, three or four at once, with the evident pur
pose of creating a feeling against the new arrange
ment. •
The directors ofthe new Union (Seventh and Ninth,
street) lino have Informed us that they have no re
gulations on the subject, yet their conductors dally
reject, insult, and sometimes assault the most re
spectable of oolored persons. We hope to see this
utterly unwarranted ruffianism soon stopped.
Even In the darkest days of hls sorrowful history
thejsolored man has folt assured that the discrimi
nation sgalcst hlm mast some day cease; and we
believe that an Innate faith In the ultimate triumph
of justice tells the white man and the black man
alike that the foul spirit of caste must soon disap
pear, especially under the force of onr democratic
institutions. Why then delay by a step in the dark
(as the running of the proscribed or “Jim Crow’,
oar certainly, would be) what we all know must
soon come 1
Bnt whUe we ask a change that shall give to ns
simply what is accorded to others—nothing more,
nothing less—we would at the same time welcome
any regulation for the peremptory exclusion of till
persons, without regard to color, on account of nn
cleanliness of person or other repulsive habit.

pirate Shenandoah, has been remanded for trial.
, THB OAHADIAH DIFFICULTY.
The Army and Nairn Gazette says the Canadian
difficulty will In ail probability lapse, but not harm
lessly. The display of attachment to Great Britain,
and of tlio patriotic zeal whloh the recent events
have called forth, will add to the many sources of
Irritation which the contest In America has opened,
and will transfer to the Canadians their fall share
of the overflowing animosity with which Great
Britain is regarded by the mass of the Northern
people, but the Canadians have certainly established
fresh claims to the Imperial sympathy.
THIS CASH OF CAPTAIN OOKBETT.
Captain Corbett was brought before a magistrate
at London, on the Sth, charged.with having enlisted,
or attempted to enlist, British sabjeots lor service
In the Confederate navy, and the solicitor who ap
peared, on behalf of the Government, to prosecute,
stated the ease against the prisoner, who took the
vessel to Madeira, and there announced to the crew
that she was Intended and was sold for a cruiser, and
nrged them to enlist In the service. Evidence was
given in support, when the case was remanded, the
prisoner being admitted to bail In £SOQ and two sore
ties of £2,000,
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
The BlebmondL oorrospondent of the London
Times, writing on Hov. 27cli and Deo. sth, asserts
tbat never since the commencement of the war was
there' more serene confidence entertained about the
salety of Richmond and Petersburg, be Grant’s
force wbat it may. He also affirms that never was
more hope entertained in reference to the present
and future of Secession.
The Times likewise publishes a letter from Spence,
its Secession correspondent at Liverpool, bolstering
up the rebel cause, and attempting to Bhow that the
Horth has gained nothing of importance during the
past year. He believes the Southwest will oa.il out
the negroes, and points to General Lea as the pro
bable successor of Jeff Davis. The HOrth German
Lloydß and H&mburg-Ameriean companies are
each building new steamers in England, with a
view to the maintenance of a regular weekly line
from New York to Southampton, eto.

Curious as It may seem, there Is a very general
desire Indicated by Invalids to make the oil regions
of Ohio and Virginia a popular resort. One hears
every day of wonderful cures effected by the atmo
sphere of those speculative lands. Stomachic and
pulmonary affections are peculiarly sensitive to the
balmy and regenerating qualities there evolved, and
quite a miniature hegira of the indisposed from this

CHEAP PAPES—A NEW PROCESS TO BE TESTED.,
In a fortnight or less, an Austrian patent for
making paper out of corn husks wlH.be thoroughly
tested in this country, II the experiment succeeds
according to expectation, steps will he immediately
taken to manufacture printing paper on an ex
tensive scale by tbs new process. It would be
well for farmers to carefully save aU corn
husks now In their possession, and to stop feeding
th6m to their cattle, as they may command a high
price, within a few weeks, if delivered at railroad
stations. Ab it requires but little and Inexpensive
changes of machinery to adapt paper-mills to the
manufacture of husk paper, it Is the Intention of
the American owners of the patent to contract
with mills on liberal terms to make paper of all
grades out of this new material.

DESCRIPTION OP THB GAMB—KAVAHAOH THU
WIBKBSt
The match between' Dudley 2lavanae;li, the pre*
sent billiard champion, and william Qcldfchwatt.
for the poEseeeion of the golden cue and sl,qqo was
played on Friday. In the New York Academy of
Mueio. The match has caused much excitement In
the billiard world, and It attracted an immense au«
dience. As early as six o’clock parties began to
gather around the building, and when the doers
were opened the ruth was so great that it was ab>
most impossible, even with the aid of a large body
of police, to preserve anything like order, and pre
vent persons not supplied with tickets from entering
with'the crowd.
The boxes had been reserved for the ladles, but
they were quickly and forcibly taken possession of
by a mob, who refused to give them up to the la.
dies, or obey the rules of the exhibition—rules such
as gentlemen always conform to. It was then
stated that the game would not begin until the
boxes were vacated; still these men refused to
move from the seats they had so .unfairly' taken,
and most of the ladies, for whom the seats were re
served, were obliged to leave 'the b&Uding without
There was considerable usu
ally having the advantage at odds of sloeto $BO.
The sympathies of the audleucawere eviderithr in
favor of Kavanagh, and he was frequently an.
pl&uded. Goldthwait was not very genorcraslv re
ceived, and the goad order which might have been
expected at so Important a match was not perfectly
maintained. These were large numbers of billiard
players present ; aleo, fc many prominent tttixeas and
army and navy officers, and about otte haudred
ladies. Previous to the openingpf (hn-gameL Robert
E. Wilmarth, of Poston, was ahnouabed as the uru<
plre for Goldthwait; Michael Geary, of Washing*
ton, in the same capacity fo? KavanAgh*' and'
George E. Phelan,'of New aa'Dael referee.
Tbe game commenced at seven o'clock and thirtv
five minutes. At first there was but Uttlu excite
ment; the Academy was very poorly heated, and
the players were so extremely cold that it was al
most impossible for them to make aetroke. thetr
fingers beton almost numbed. After a little time
