he has received his commission Col. E.
replies he has neither. Col NJ. says in re-

The Negro Race.

Until within few years the inferiority of the
Negro race has been freely spoken of, but latter
ly little has been said, and many Of the abolition
lists claim them to be equal to the Caucasian race,
and we believe that Greeley, of the Tribune, has
favored the idea, but the following extract from
his paper is more sensible than much that he has
written upon this subject. He says:
"Now this social and moral inferiority of the
Negro to the Caucasian race is a fact to which
history, phrenology, literature and science bear
witness, and nothing is to be gained but every
thing periled by pushing it out of sight In GER
tain affections and aptitudes, the Negro may be
the equal or the superior of the Caucasian, but
in the whole PHYSICAL apd moral being he clear
ly is not We hold it unjust and cruel to aggravate
his natural disabilities by legal or social degreda
ton. To base the Negroes claims to the common
rights of humanity on the assumption that he is
every way the whi te mans equal, is to peril his
cause wantonly and fatally. II slavery had nev-
er been heard of among us, and four million OF
the African race were here as free and voluntary
immigrants, they would still hold position OF
social inferiority to the whites. And if four mil
lions of Anglo-Saxon whites were colonized
among any twenty millions of African blacks tn y
would very soon assume and maintain position
of social ascendancy.

official PecsElnf5NEa.

We see by the Washington papers that seri-
Gus charges of corruption and dishonesty have
been made against T. BUTLER KING, the late
Whig Collector of San Francisco. The matter
will be thoroughly investigated, and the facts
made known. At present they seem to be that
Mr.. KING was in the habit of mutilating the Gus
tom House Records, and making false entries
and charges; that he had pursued this system of
of frauds for long time, and when discovered in
in some Of these practices, he destroyed the
books to make way with the evidences of his guilt.
Some of the other officials had however made
copies of these papers, and thus fortunately the
whole of the transactions will be brought to light.
Mr. KING was formerly member OF Congress
from Georgia, but removed to California, upon
being appointed by President Fillmore, to the
Office of Collector. The sum out of which he
has swindIed the Treasury, probably amounts to
over one hundred thousand dollars.

RUrglarY.

On Saturday night burglar entered the DWELL
ing of DR.. Waite of this village, but was fortu-
nately prevented from committing any theft. A
window had been left partly open for the purpose
of drying paint which had recently been put on,
through which the entrance was effected. The
Doctor was absent, but his brother who slept di-
rectly over the room which was entered, heard
the noise, and opening the door, the reaec-
ton of light which the villain had struck for the
purpose of enabling him to plunder successfully.
The light fingered gentleman hearing the door
open, decamped without securing the booty for
which he risked so much. On the same night
Mr.. Newberry, cellar was entered and part Of
the contents carried off consisting chiefly of eat
ables. Had the villain really needed the provis-
ions he need not have taken the pains to steal
them, for Mr.. N. would supplied him cheerfully
had he known that he stood in need.

Judge Hunplareyvillea and the Banks

The Ohio Star is in extacies over decision of
Judge Humphreyville at the last Common Pleas
at Akron. Under the head of"AN UPRIGHT JUDGE y
this champion of equal rights, and avowed enemy
of chartered privileges, extols judicial decision
which, as he understands, demolishes the crow
bar law. Let see. He says Judge H. decided
that 'sthe law of 1852 imposed taxes on banks
that it does not impose on individuals or other
property" This is mistake. Judge Hum
phreyviIle decided in reference to the Akron
Bank, that sa large proportion of the tax was not
ASSESSED in accordance aOih the provision Of the
lauo, and on this ground the court refused to
dissolve the injunction restraining the Treasurer
from collecting the tax, but this was not the fault
of the law, but the ignorance of the Wing Audit

COlunE1ana Democracy--Thc Home

stead Bill.
The Democracy of Columbiana county, met on
the 25th ult., and nominated HENRY HEssIN and
VIM. P. NORRIS for Representatives. Among
the series ofspirted resolutions, they adopted the
following:
ResoLUed, That the Democracy of this county
are in favor of the passage of the Homestead Bill
by Congress- law for giving s:homes to the
homeless "a distribution of the bublic domain to
actual settlers.
The idea of the Homestead Bill is comparative
ly new one, and, though know that every
Democrat heartily approves it, is not often
adopted into "Resolutions' we could wish.-
This neglect occurs, in almost every case, simply
because the Homestead bill is overlooked in the
pursuit of some object of more local and press
ing Importance.
| We take the occasion to urge upon the county
conventions, soon to be held throughout the State
the propriety Of moving in this great and human
ising measure. Its origin is Democratic, its chic
| defenders are Democratic, and Democratic con
gress, if any, must put it into practice. Let the
masses of the party only show that they still
faithful to this benefcient and ennobling cause
