Negro Applicants for Office.

SAYS the Washington correspondent Of the
New York Erpress;
"The number Of applicants for minor oili.

that for Pos;mas,crs' brrhs, there a7c oil
file over 10 applicants, and the surpnsilion

away amongst the white ones.
AS Mr.. Lincoln is wont to say, "this IL az
it should be- 1t is but natural that the l!r.
groes Of the Northern States, especially Of
Massachusetts, should have "an itching
pnlm" for the spoils. Did not many Of them
contribute moucy towards Lincoln's election? !?
We're thew nor led to believe that his success
would be thrir success, aud that Black Re.
publican asren,lsncy would make them npow.
er in the State? Did not Burlngame, the
applicant for a foreign mission, iaroke their
support in the Presidential canfaign, and ex,
cite their cupidity and lust Of office by para.
ding before their expanded eyes the r&yshng
prospect of IL participation in "one hundred
millions Of spoils2' Did not Carl Schurz
also M applicant for 4 foreign mission, declare
that if the Declaration OF Independence WAS
not intended to include negroes as well AZ
whites, that it was "achcat, wood. N nutmeg,
and Yankee trick" Did not Mr.. Lincoln
denouncc The Dred Scott decision, and there
by proclaim to the world that negroes arc
citizcas." And if citizens, have they not the
right to vote and demand Office? Then cease
to blame the negroes for the supposed pre-.
and reserve your censure for those
reckless demagogues who have taught them
to aspire to an equality with the whites. Who
is surprised 10 find negroes APPLYING for office
Mt the hands of this Administration. Who will
be surprised should the negro Government Of
lIayti be allowed representative at the
American Court?-Pcnnsylvanian.

The party of Indians who passed through
Jack Parker and Palo Pinto Counties, last
week, marking their way with dcsolnion and
striking terror to the stoutest hearts, drew up
in front Of the residence Of Mr.. Eubanks, in
Palo Pinto County, and were holding parey,
and, no doubt, forming plan to attack the
house. There was not a man on the premises
at the time. Mrs. Eubanks and her daughter
and several little children were alone. The

commerce Of Europe the late stolid, b;rnler-

dul folly by adopting a Eigh protective tariff,
which in many instances amounts TO a pro.
hiblion of imports, and in all cases tends to
drive 10 Southern ports commerce Of the
world. Already the merchants of New York
who are not yet utterly ruined are preparing
to establish importing houses in the Southern
cities, for the triple purpose Of supplying the
local trade, of sending goods TO the West by
the Mississippi river and other channels of
communication, and Of sending the merchan
disc over the frontier of the Southern Conted
eracy to New York, thus escaping the duties
Of the Morrill, tariff. Dry goods palaces here
are being offered for sale, without purchasers,

houses can be had q little over half their for

The merchants say it is impossible for tkem
to do amy business under the ne# tariff, from
the delay in passing goods through the Gus
tom House, owing 10 the complicated calcu'a.
tions Of tue duty. For instance, in the case
Of linen, the number of tlren.ls in the square

be- calculated by the square yard. To render
the matter i.prse, The Custom House will be

Mamma, mamma, young Eddie jones,
Who called for me last night,
And by the fallen oak sat down,
Beneath the moons soft light,
Whispered so many pretty things
About his country heme,
And took my hand in his and asked
II would be his own.
He called me beautiful, and said
Ny hand was snowy white,
NV lips were coral and my eyes
We're like the diamonds light;
And then he sighed and looked 90 sad,
And seemed in such distress,
That when he asked me to be his,
I had to tell him yes.
Fie Fic! my daughter, Eddie Jones,
A nice young man may be,
But he can't keep hotel" nor
A husband be TO thee;

And does not own g. Il red,
Before see you marry him,
I'd rather both were deal.
But, dear mamma, young Eddie Jones,
Is wealthy, am sure.
For old Spondulicks died and left
Five thousand pounds or more;
And all this money is his own,

On which my shadow falls,
And will delight to furnish me,
With honnet<, hoops and shawls;
And more thun all that s"id Gun buy,

To know his heart is mine.

Therefore you needn't smile.

And loves you too, guess;
