ONO FAILS TO SHARE TIE SPoILs.-A
Washington correspondent of the CleYe-
land Plain Dealer thus speaks of the man-
ner in which Ohio is treated by the new
Administration in the division of the spoils
all from her being San Abolition State"
California is contending for one of the
Ohio Bureaus here, the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. She may be deserving, but
Ohio, with 10000 Democrats, 10000
more than all New England, will not sub
init to be robbed of the little considera-
ton she gets from the hands of the powers
that be. She asks no Cabinet councillor.
She gets no foreign mission. Even the
Chilian ministry has been stripped ofevery-
thing save three small Bureaus, while Penn
sylvania has a President, a Cab net Off
Ger, the best foreign missions and any quaint
ity of foreign and general appointments of
lesser grade. One hundredth part of the
money and one tenth of the effort that was
imported to carry Pennsylvania at the last
election would have carried Ohio high and
dry for the Democratic nominees. But
when the Buckeyes ask for an office, the
reply has become proverbial!-D-n Ohio,
she Is an Abolition State anyhow.

POisOner for Chief Jus.
tice fancy.

The presiding Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States rested his opin-
ion that negroes were not citizens, upon
the allegation that they have never beenrec-
ognized as such by the adoption of the fed
eral Constitution. His attention, as the
N. Y. Evening Post, is respectfully invited
to the following extract from an act of Con
gress, passed in 1903, which received the
approval of President Jefferson and both
houses of Congress, and has been recog-
nized as constitutional by all the courts of
the country for more than fifty years.
This clause, it will be perceived, specially
recognizes the existence of eolored citizens
of the United States:
Art. 1869. No master of any vessel,
or other person shall import, or cause to be
imported, any negro mulaho or other per-
son Of color, not a native citizen, or
registered seaman of the United States,
or a seaman native of some country beyond
the Cape Of Good Hope, into any place of
the United States, situated in any State
which by law has been prohibited, or shall
prohibit, the importation of such negro,
m~ullatto, Or other person of color. (Aet Of
Congress. 2sth February, 1903. See. l,
7. +. Gordon's Digest Edition, 1881 ,p.453.)
Can any more conclusive evidence be de.
sired to prove that the General Govern.
ment did recognize the citizenship of ne
groes, in certain cases, than this most sol
emn declaration of the Government itself!
and ifnot, when and by what act were
their rights Invested?

HIGH PRICE FOR BEEF.-The New York
Tribune thus speaks in relation to the
price ofcattle in that city: "There was a
large advance in the price of beef cattle at
Bulls Head yesterday, the price of all good
fair cattle, suitable for market retailing
beef, being equivalent to II cents a pound,
and averaging fully $40 a head more than
the anne grades last week, making a differ
ence of $4,000. One drove of Western
steers, 20 head, averaged sl2O each; and
a number of droves of common Ohio and
Illinois stock, will averaged 800. These
are great prices for farmers but onerous
nes for city beef eaters. The 1000 head
of bulloeks sold yesterday, will average
SS5, and at that, amount to $I7O,OOO.-
Are not such facts sufficient to induce far
mers to increase the production of horned
cattle, to convert more grass and grain into
beef? They will receive important inform
alton upon this subject in our Regular
Cattle Market Reports"

PRESIDENT BUcHANAN's CABINET.-A
Virginian print, the Fredercksburgh Meas
speaking of the administration of Mr.. Blu
ehanan, says:
"His Cabinet seems to have been collect
ed upon the same principle that a Yankee
collects his dinner out of the pot of uuiver-
sal SOUP He puts in his wooden spoon
hauls up what ever he can rake-a pota-
toe, a piece of beef, an old scraped bone
perhaps a piece Of fish, and may be a lot of
feathers, if the cooking has not been sscun-
dun artem. Some of it is good and some
of it bad, but the man is hungry and asks
no questions for conscience sake. If the
hungry man spies some delicate morsal he
is particularly fond of, such as the breast of
a chicken, or a sweet bread, his friends, like
Sancho Panza's doctor, won't let him have
these but force him to eat the mixture of
good and bad. While be, facile man,
gulps the mess down, unmindful of the
future pains about the waistband, which
are sure to follow"

The st. Louis Election as seen
through SlaYerY,S EYS.

The Richmond Sonth, of April IL, fair
ly howls owe the Free Soil triumph lately
in St. Louis. 1t says:
Now, some stupid individual will say,
'all this means nothing. 1t is a joke, a
hoax" this abolition triumph in the capt.
tal of a first class slave State. There may
be certain people in the South to whom so
significant al event is a matter of no inter-
est or concern-an amusing little incident
over which they can enjoy a queit chuckle.
II is not so regarded among the abolition
lists of the North.
Equal importance will be attached to
this anti-slavery triumph by all rejecting
men in the South. They see how it will
strengthen the hands of the free-soil party
in Kansas; and what a prodigious impulse
it will impart to the aggressive movements
of the abolitionists in the North. 1t is a
victory without a parallel for them-iti is a
deplorable defeat for us. Heretofore abo-
litionism has been content 10 restrict the
expansion of slavery, and the South has
had to lament only some negative repulse.
This is the first instance in which aboli-
nionism has achieved an incontestible tri-
umph on a distinct issue in the heart of a
southern State. This is the first time sla-
very has been routed in one of its own
strongholds. Think you so extrao. binary
an event will be without consequence p
L. is nothing for the abolitionists to dis
cover that they can invade the soil eff SOU
thern States with IMMUNITY, and may even
reckon upon the succor of southern people /!
Is it nothing for Black Repubiicanism to
plant its banner on one of our own citadels /?
Is it nothing for slavery to lose the spell
of invincibiIity, and the South to be beard
ed and bullied on southern soil? Is there
no significance in this indication Of an eb-
bing tide-this first backward step in the
march of southern power? VIII the ex-
ample provoke no more audacious aggres-
sions, and invite no imitation.
Here and there one may find a dull, in
different or uninterested observer, who will
answer all these inquiries in a spirit of un-
ruffled satisfaction-who will affirm that
the defeat of Fremont settled the slavery
controversy, quieted agitation, and rescued
the South from the danger of future at
tack! Is that the reply of sensible and
honest men-quiek TO discern and prompt
to repel the approach of the enemys

From washington
WASHINGTON. Anil

ADrl IL
The Secretary of the Interior has o;v.,
full instruction to RECTOR and Garrett r.
dian agents, who have left Washington 70,
the scene of their duties, to organize dele
cations from the Creeks ard Seminoles re-
siding west of the Mississippi, to proceed
to Florida in autumn on especial business
to persuade Bowlegs and his followers to
emigrate.
The Florida Seminoles, the government
is aware, are too proud to be forced to this
step at the point of the bayonet, and hence
resort to peaceful measures, which will, it
is confidently believed, accomplish that i'm
portant measure.
In view of the above mentioned design,
there will, meanwhile, be no active militia
ry movements in Florida, as heretofore
stated.
There will be no troops stationed in Kan
sas who have in any way been complicated
in former difficulties in the Territory.
A summer campaign to ehastise the
C%heyennes and Kiowas, is arranged, and
several officers are now here receiving spec
ifc instructions to that end.
None of these troops ere inte>ded for
Utah, as has been conjectured.
