TIE "BLAcK S1DDoNs" AND THE
WHITE ABoLIrIoNIs1s.--- Tele-
graph states Mrs. Webb, the colored
dramatic reader. who, upon her arri-
val in town took lodgings at the Marl-
boro Hotel, was refused admittance
to the public ipning table-that she
was not invited to attend the usual
morning religious Exercises and that
she was finally obliged to remove to
the Winthrop House. Well, this is
abolitionism right out. The Marlboro
is the headquarters ofSentor Wilson
and all the chef lip lovers of the
black race in the State, and yet this
lady-although not equal to Mrs. Sid
dons as dramatic-genius-ofc ultiva-
ted mind and handsome feathers, was
not allowed to sit at the public table
and join in worship of the God of all
with the white Abolitionistr of Mass
chusetts.

In many instances, before us, men
have gone into Office and purloined
from the public treasury, money
enough to defend themselves against
the law, and the weak arm of justice.
Thus, is public confidence shaken i;
and the bond of honor broken up.
1t is only now and then, when
I" fanctionaries quarrel about the
spoils Of Office. that We have still an
other revelation, in support of what
We say. Letters are published-
Pnvate-secret-confdential letters,

fanctionaries have been doing in the
dark, to rob the public. The people
look in vain to discover in this kind of
correspondence who is at fault, +" be-
cause something is always kept back
