On Monday evening last, Wendell Phillips.
in a speech at Cooper Institute, New York,
peeled away as follows: g.
"God grand us so many reverses that the
Government may learn It's duty-God grant us
that the war may never end till II leaves us on
the solid granite ofimpartial liberty and justice.
Renewed applause. What we have 10 teach

tainty Of success. The millions, not the leaders
none Of them, am utterly impartial; neither
President, Cabinet nor Senate. Peel of Seward,
"Good,"l peel of Sumner Sensation Yes,
Massachusetts, Senators as well as others, and
III tell you why. When the Government called
on New England for a negro regiment, and we
went from coonty TO county urging the blacks
10 enlist, one Massachusetts, colonel dared to
say, In the face of the enemy, that he would
rather be whipped without negroes than con-
quer at their side. A Massachusetts, colonel in
that hour Of emergency and critical issue; his
case within twenty days went before the Senate
OF the United States, and the very week that
his apology was filed in the war office at Wash
ington, Massachusetts Senators begged their
reluctant brothers to make him a brlgadier
general. Loud cries of Shame."l A private,
ignorant, uneducated, and Just mustered into
the service, mutinied in the streets of Boston
and Col. Lowell shot him, rightfully. Mas
sachusetts colonel mutnied In tho face Of the
enemy, and Massachusetts Senator made him

A SERIOUS JoKE.-The Boston POa tells Of a
practical joke lately played Off IN that vicinity
upon two of the students Of Harvard College.
They were attending a ladies' fair In ROXbury,
when, "Just for the joke Of the thing" some
of their pleasantly ingenious friends playfully
pointed them out TO the police as pickpockets.
The result was, they were avoided in the fair
as thieves, and then they were arrested and
kept in Jail all night, and ultimately were
forced to sign a paper promising not to prose-
cute the policeman before they were allowed 10
depart. The entire faculty Of Harvard law
school have addressed paper to the Mayor Of
ROVbury vindlCating the students character
and requesting protest against the outrage
inflicted upon them.
