Negro Equality.

In the State Senate of Massachusetts,,
a few days ago, some unfortunate pn9
aspiring white clergyman was eandiI
date for the office of chaplain. His PRINT
cipal rival candidate was 'cullud pust
son" named Rev. E. A. Grimes Composed
to be a relative of "Old Grimes" celet
brated in song) The colored individual
received plurality of the votes cast m
the first two ballotings, but, after vigor-
Gus log-rolling and pathetic appeals IN
behalf of the down-trodden white man,
enough senators were induced, by mo
tives of charity, to give the office to the
caucasian, on the fourth ballot.
Some men who used to be insulted
when they were called aboltionists, now
consider it term of honor which they
unblushingly adopt for themselves ana
vet these very same men declare that
they are not in favor of negro equality
THADDEUs STEVENS, while avowlng HIM
self, both by his actions aud his words
to be an abolitionist, took occasion 10
expressly deny in Congress, few days
ago, that he was i'll favor OF giving to ne
groes equal political and social privileges
with the whites. And yet the present
position of the Republican party on the
negro question is no farther in advance
of its position four years ago, than are
miscegenation and negro equality III adj
vance of the present. The party has
taken one step and it will take another
II is esteemed to be an insult to Repub-
Ecap now to accuse him of tavOring an
amalgamation of races; but it highly pro-
bable that four years hence he Will stout
ly and boastingly affirm that miscegen-
alton is right and will perhaps wrcst
from their lawful meaning some passages
of Holy Writ to prove that all races
white. black and yellow, should com
mingle their blood. When this point Is
reached probably some other crazy idea
of progress may spring up, which Is still
beyond the imagination of common men
and has its existence now only Ill the
heated brain OF some New England
fanatic.
The Republican party is steadily fol
lowing the lead of the Massachusetts,
politicians and, by observing their posi-
ton, it is easy to predict what will be
the position of the party few years
later. The incident We have referred to
above, in which negro and awhile man
were rival candidates for the chapIalncy
of tine Massachusetts Senate, is illustra-
tive Of the progress the dominant party
is making. We presume it is scarcely
probable that a negro will be grayeIy
nominated and voted for to act as chap
lain to the West Virginia Senate tins
winter, but, iffauaticism continues to i'-
crease during the ensuing five years Is
it has during the past, we see no good
reason TO doubt that in 1870 the West
Virginia Legislature will considcf irscii
fortunate in securing the services of 4
dusky African, NOT only to open its SIS
sions by prayer, but also to preside over
It's deliberations. The prevailing ten
dency is in that direction.

was extracted, and pistol ball in the head,
deeply imbedded in the brain, which has not

coyery. Robert Alexandria another eolored

but little depression of the brain. we think the
odds are greatly In his favor. Mitchell. white

being altogether OF a temporary character.
John Mankin and Geo Huntington are under
arrest and are still held by Capt. Hambrick,
charged with the shooting of John Anderson.
They will doubtless be tried by 4 military
commission.
