AN AFFRAY BETWEEN VnGINIANs AND
CoLoRED WAITERs.-A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writing from Cape May, lis.
land) N. j., July %, says:
A violent fracas came off at one of the
houses here between one of party of three
Vrgnians, and number of the colored men
(waiters) at said house, on Wednesday eve
ming last, about o'clock. 1t grew out of a
colored boy having deceived one of the Vir-
ginians, for which he smacked his jaw with
his hand, when the father of the boy, very
large and powerful man, who was by and saw
him strike the blow, seized stick of wood
and then an axe, and attacked the Virginian,
when he drew his dirk and the trihng mat
ter ripened into n violent fracas.
One of the Virginians was knocked down,
whilst one Of the coored men had his face
terribly bruised and pulled about his eye
during the fracas, in which, if mistake not,
the three Vrginans were involved, and most
of the coored men, before it terminated. After
the fracas, the head waiter, (aso colored
NAM frequently went to the landlord and
pressed him to get him to turn the Virgin
ians out of the house that night, but he re-
fused, stating that they themselves had said
was satisfied they would.
The next morning the parties were brought
before Court, when the Virginians compro.
missed the matter by paying their attorney
$3.50, and tho costs of Court. The money
was generously advanced by the landlord Of
the house where the fray occurred.

ONO DIsGRAcED.-As if bent on finding
the lowest depths of self-abase ment to which
abolition fanaticism is capable Of degrading
its deluded victims, the negro Fred Douglass
was recently invited to deliver an address
(no doubt prepared for him and committed
10 memory for the occasion) before the lite
rary societies of the Western Reserve Col
lcge, in Ohio. An abolition sheet thus de-
scribes the dsgraceful and humiliating spec
tacle:
Yesterday afternoon, July 24) Frederick
Douglass addressed the literary societies of
the Western Reserve College, on the occasion
of the annual commencement. 1t was an
exercise with n popularity about it, which
will distinguish it from all of the kind of the
present age. II is an anomaly in the history
of American literature. A black man is in
vited to instruct the already wel-instructed
Anglo-Amercan student in his own Univer-
sity Halls. We say, we have seen the turn
ing Of new page in our literature. Doug
lass position was not won for him without n
struggle on the part of his friends. In his
introduction he thanked the societies which
had so kindly and so perseveringly given him
the invitation. His ascending that platform,
count triumph of humanity.
His theme was: "I'he Claims The Negro
Race, rie,ced in psychological and physioI-
0gicaL light"

ANOTHER NEW ORGANIZATIoN.-We have
heard of organizations of "Know. Nothings,"
"Have-Nothings," and "No-Nothings," in
which, we are informed, no females are nd
mitted rs members; the ladies however, are
determined not to be so outdone by the info.
rior sex, and have formed themselves into n
society that just "knocks the bonnets Off any
thing we ever heard of-the name of which
is Wear-Nothings." No lady can become n
member of that body who wears bonnet on
her head, and any member being guilty of
such an offence, is subject to the severcst
penalty-whch is having their necks muffled
during public entertainments, and tongues
tied for the space OF 25 minutes. They hold
their meetings at concerts, social gatherings,
ice cream saloons, &c. Married ladies' not
admitted without giving bonds for the faith
full compliance to the rules. The number to
engage in conversation at the time, during n
meeting, will be limited to ten out of every
dozen, us ii will require the balance as inves-
tigating committees, whose duty it will be TO
report, so soon as they can get a word in edge
ways, every article of apparel each and every
person they met had on; also color, make and
price of the same. No member will be re.
cognized who wears the slightest article
around the neck. When meeting each other
on the street the signal will be, turning their
heads to scrutinize the costume of each other.

CoSGREss.-After n session of eight months
the Congress of the United States closed their
labors on Monday. The Sentinel, of Satur-
day morning, says: "The day and hour at first
fixed BY joint resolution for an adjournment,
sine die, was found to contract legislation
within limits so narrow as to endanger the
passage of the usual general appropriation
bills; and so, yesterday, the two Houses con-
currently agreed to designate Monday next,
at o'clock, for that event; providing, how
ever, that after o'clock of yesterday, no
question should be taken on any motion ex-
cept that to adjourn. Therefore, legislative
business, beyond the mere signing of bills by
the two presiding officers of the respective
Houses, cannot be transacted.
AS the resolution, which was last adopted
restricted Legislative business to certain
time, and as the bill making appropriations
for the ocean mail-steamer service was not
finally acted on, when that hour expired, we
may, we think, classify that bill as dead, to be
resuscitated during the next session.
There is no doubt about the safety Of all
the other general appropriation bills.
The Homestead bill, as returned from the
Senate with amendments, sleeps in company
with the French spoliation bill; and the Sen.
ate bill appropriating eight millions and half
of dollars to pay the claims of such Of the
creditors of the late republic of Texas, as are
embraced by the provisions of the act of Sep
TENDER, 1850, was referred to the committee
of the whole on the state of the Union, there
to rest until the next session.
The two houses met to-day, to finish that
part of the business now so near near COM
petion.

AN ERROR ACKNowLEDGED.-ln common
with Democrats everywhere we opposed the
distribution "scheme" of Mr.. Clay in 1872
This scheme proposed distribution of the
proceeds of the Public Lands among the
States upon the grounds of equity and justice.
We then thought it Il scheme Of the Pro-
tectionsts to deprive the country of n source
of revenue in order to render higher duties
upon importations necessary. Since that time
we have witnessed the distribution of the
lands among Railroad Companies and for
other objects grossly unjust to the old States
of the Confedcracy, and now regret very much
that the plan of Mr.. Clay was defeated by the
Democratic party.
Mr.. Hunter, of Virginia, has introduced n
bill in the Senate of the United States, hav-
ing the three-foId purpose of graduating the
price of the public lands, transferring their
management to the States in which they are
located, and securing homesteads to actual
settlers upon easy terms. The Democratic
press approves of this scheme" though il
falls far short of that of Mr.. Clay in the
measure of justce.-Marietta Union.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1854-08-11
THE PARTICIPANTS.

The National lntelligencer says: "As was
briefly announced in our paper of Saturday
last, the bill to hasten the alienation of the
public lands was passed by the Senate on
Friday evening, considerably modified, but in
shape not much less Objectionable than the
scheme Of the Homestead Bill" for, while ii
stops short of giving the lands outright, with
out money and without price, to all corners,
they are placed on such footing and at rates
so low rs to promise pretty speedy radiance
of the entire public domain-a consummation
apparently devoutly wished by the dominant
party, but which, to our plain understanding,
seems most deplorable folly. The lands
would not run away, and would cost nothing
to remain as they are until demanded by the
natural increase of the American people. The
sons and daughters of our own citizens will
in due time require homes in the fertile re-
gions of the West, and how much better to
reserve them for such occupants than for such
rs are likely to be tempted from the Old
World to come and accept them. The Vir-
ginia Senators tried in vain to get exempted
from the squanderng process the North
western Territory, given by that State to the
Federal Government as fund for the COM
mon benefit of all the States; but even that
solemn condition was disregarded, and the
Virginia lands were thrown into hotchpot
with the rest. Twenty years ago leading
member from the West gave fair and open
notice on the floor of Congress that the time
would come when the representatives of the
West would write at the head of all land bills,
"sic rolo, sic .jubec;" but the members of the
old States needed him not. One of the per-
nicous dogmas of party forbade the adoption
of timely and wise system, which would
have rendered the public lands source of
enduring and equal benefit to all the States;
but the plan was proposed by Henry Clay,
and that was enough with all the lieges of
Democracy to condemn it. And now the
time for "Sic rolo, sic juJeo, has come, and IL
is toritien.

IRoN.-The market for pig metal exhibits
no new feature. The demand is limited, but

at $40, and do. Blooms at $50 per ton. The
receipts of pig metal during the week COM

but he declined to accept the appointment,
the ground of refusal being the meagre sala-

was true, but that he had nowhere seen
