Negro Equality.

The Milwaukee Sentinel scores the Re-
publican Convention of Wisconsin most
numerically for repudiating negro equal
ity, bat lovingly pats the radicals Of Min
nesota for recognizing that principle. In
speaking Of the platform on which Gen
MARSHALL stands, the Sentinel says:
We mark the fifth resolution of the shove
series as worthy of especial mention and praise
Il states with precision and great force the po-
sition which every true Republican and every
honest Democrat in the land ought to take.
It's statement is as unimpeachable as the De-
claration of Independence, and no man who
assents to the truth OF the latter ought to hes
itate 10 endorse the former. We thank the
Urion party Of Minnesota for daring to utter
this great truth.
The Sentinel will find when the returns
on the negro-voting. amendment to our
constitution shall have been counted, that
its "grest truth " has been empasticany
repudisted by the people

Col. John II. Averfli.

We learn that tie order for the muster
out of Col. JOHN T. AvRRnL has been sus-
pended, and that re has been directed to
report at Washington on business con-
nected with his recent Office as Provost
Marshal of this State. The order was &C.
companied with expressions of official ap-
probation of the u, amer in which he has
discharged the duties of his office.
We avail our>el, 8 of this occasion to
say that the ,,,z pie of this State were
fortunate in hsvIig one of their own citi-
zens, and an officer so distinguished for
unvarying courtesy and consideration of
their interests, in charge of the business
of raising their quota of troops for the
war, as well as in other important matters
connected with his Office, in which 30
many of our people were interested. We
believe that no officer could have given
more entire satisfaction to the govern
ment and to the people than Col. AvKR1IL.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. plat
form of the Wisconsin Republicans, which
repudiates negro equality, is exceedingly
distasteful to some of the radical journals
of the party. The Milwaukee Sentinel,
the leading organ, says of the resolutions:
They stop short of saying what ought to
have been said, and generally are pervaded by
cowardly, evasive, shutting spirit. They
are not the platform of the party, and will not
be recognized as such. The resolutions rep.
resent the stomach but not the ideas of the
party. By comparing them with the resolu-
tons adopted the same day by the Min
nesota Convention, the wide difference between
courageous, honest. manly declaration of
principles, and a Gme-serving and cowardly
refusal to say what five-sixths of the party
know to be absolutely right, will be apparent.
The Madison Journal the official State
paper, which is not very friendly to mig
ger suffrage, says:
The Platform of the Union Convention is
one that will meet with the general approba-
ton of those who have stood by the country
during the last four years of trial and danger.
This is q broad and and sound platform.

The adoption of resolutions in favor Of
negro equality and negro voting, by the
Convention which put VIZ. 3. Marshall
in nomination for Governor, shows that
the Republican party is proceeding with
accelerated speed from one point to ano-
ther. When first organized, it professed
only to desire the prohibition Of slavery in
the territories, and laid especial JUNCTION
on the fact that it had no right nor power
nor desire to interfere with slavery in the
states. Time worked change, however,
and long while ago it laid aside the
cloak with which it had covered itself and
openly declared for the abolition of slave
~ in tho Stgses, q purpose which it does
not hesitate to carry out now that it has
the power. When it first went in for
'forcible abolition, however, it was careful
to deny chat it intended to elevate the ne
gro to any political rights, just as it had
formerly deried that it ever intended to
favor abolition. But the time has now
come when even this f,imsy garb of deceit
is laid aside and the Republican party Of
Minnesota announces that negro suffrage
is the next citadel it proposes to carry.
Thus one after another does it lay aside
the false coiors under which it has sailed,
until now it HOSTS the black flag which it
would have done in the first place, had it
dared. If negro voting is allowed, their
next step viii be in favor of "miscege-

A USEFUL INvENrToN.-We have been
using, for portable light, for some time past,
one of the new safety, non-explosive lamps,
for burning coal oil fluid, advertised and sold
by J. ]. HANKERsoN & Co., 1870 Middle street.
This lamp is packed into spongy substance
that absorbs the fluid, small central cham
Der being left for the introduction of the wick.
Pour in the fluid, and then turn back into the
can all that will pour out, leaving only the
packing saturated, and .his will feed the fame
for half dozen hours, giving as much light as
an ordinary sperm candle. If the lamp is
dropped, or, if glass, should it break, there is
nothing to spiB, and the fame could be in
stantly extinguished 1t is what it purports
to be, SAFETY lamp. The inventor is enti-
tied to the gratitude of the community for his
discovery. ~seAy
