RED AND BLAcK.-At the recent roc ..rt;on ne ,h,
Indian delegations at Washington, Wah gah-sab-
pi, chief OF the Poncas, said 81 call YOU Grand
father Tor no other reason than this: COD made mo
of one color and You of another; but God was mar,
tial to YOU, and made you of better coIo-
white man can do anything and make anvtb;no -
Other orators expressed similar sentiments All
seemed humby to admit the superiority of ,bo
white man, because he was white; and readily svh.
mitted to it, since God willed it shonld be So
There was no spirit of envy manifested against
the white mans lot, for meddler had inslled ITS
poison INTO his breast.
Degraded and deterioted as the red man is his
race is, physically and intellectually, far superior
to the negro. He is capable of being raised TO the
highest rehnements of civilization and of assn
ming the highest position in society. Examples
are not few. Nevertheless, the Indian claims TO
be inferior to his white brother. The negro, on
the contrary, with far less grou d. claims an equal
ity with the whIes-not intuitively, but because
he has been taught by false friends to believe so;
and, inasmuch as he is not so, and never will be,
he comes naturally to envy and hate white people.
This is the direct result of the negro equality doc
trine, as taught in the ultra school of Abolition
ism. The native m0deSty and good sense displayed
by the Indian should shame those who make il a
business to fill the mind of the negro with false
notions and ideas that never can be realized.

None of your soap A few weeks ago you set

Ugh! How despicable is all such hypocrisy =
Why not come out at once and declare that Gen.

The Treasury department received to-
day from the engraver, and will issue to-
morrow, $4,000 treasury notes of the de-
nomination of 800.
The Post-office Department has issued
proposals for conveying the mails in Arkan-
sas. Alabama, Mississippi. Wisconsin, Lou
isiana, Texas, Kentucky. Tennessee, Mis-
souri,. Iowa. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. The ad
vertisement is the largest ever prepared by
government, making one hundred and
twenty-seven columns of the Union. Very
much additional service by railroad and
river is required. and thousands of week.,
routes are changed to daily and tri-weekly
The number of routes in these sections is
probably twice as many as those advertised
four years ago.

THE LATEST FAsHoS.-The lady promenaders
on the avenue, this morning, were somewhat horri-
fed at the appearance of distinguished foreigner
who held up her dress SO as to display an undoubted
scarlet flannel pettcoat. What an idea. Yet these
same peasant petticoats all the rage across
the water. Queen Victoria brought them to Lou
don from her Balmoral palace in the Highlands o.
Scotland, about two years ago, and this year they
have bean adopted by the Empress Eugenie. o.
course they are the fashion. Those of alternate
narrow stripes of red and black flannel being more
worn than the plain scarlet. Silks and satins are
to be no longer traled in the mud, and the ladies
who wish to be a la mode should not only provide
themselves at once but practice gathering up their
dresses in graceful folds; so to displry about
foot of the bright coored underskirts.

Mr.. Houston announced the death Of
Senator Rusk, his late colleague, and stated
that the deceased was born in Pendleton,
s. c., and descended from Irish parents
who emigrated to this country in conse-
quence of the rebellion Of 1871. He traced
the history of his life and feelingly alluded to
his eminent services in the Texas revoiu-
ton, and the various offices filed by that
gallant general who was no less distinguish
ed for his modesty of character than for his
heroism and practical genius. He stood
conspicuous in everything that was good
and great, and his death could not but be
regarded as national calamity. ~
Mr.. Collamer remarked that il had been
his lot to be placed at the head of the Pos
Office Department at a time when there was
a majority in the House in opposition t.

Lucy STONE on TAXATION WITHOUT REP.
REsENTArroN.--The Orange On. j. ur-
nal publishes the following letter address
ed by Lucy Stone to the tax-gatherer of
the township in which her property is stu
ated:
Mr.. MANDEvILLE-Sir: Enclosed l re-
turn my tax bill. without paying it,
Ny reason for so doing is. that women
suffer taxation. and vet have 70 repre- senla-
ton, which is not only unjust to one half
the adult population, but is contrary TO our
theory of government.
For years some women have been pay
ing their taxes under protest. but still taxes
are imposed, and representation is not
granted.
The only course new left us is to refuse
to ray this tax. We all know well what
the immediate result of this refusal must
be.
But we believe that when the attention
of men is called to the wide difference be
tween their theory of government and its
practice. in this particular, that they car
not fail to see the mistake they now make
by imposing taxes on women while they
refuse them the right of suffrage, and tina
the sense of justice which is in all good
men, will lead them TO correct it. Their
we shall cheerfuliy pay our taxes--not til
