Negro Equality at Richmond.

The Richmend Times, not long since,
contained notice of the marriage of
two colored persons, and in the same
connection gave publicity to the fact
that certain white persons had taken
upon themselves the marital vows. We
plain people Of the mudsill regions
might fail to see anything remarkable
in this; but the immaculate Richmond
Examiner opens our eyes to the depths
of its deep damnation (the Examiners
or the publication of q negro's marriage,
just as you choose) in the following hap
py sunny-South style: r"
at is disgusting beyond expression. It is a
miscegenation that we thought quite impossi-
BILE In this latitude, and Is an immeasurnble
outrage upon tho sensibillties of the lady and

springs keen sense Of contamination to all in
whose veins pulses the true Caucasian blood
and the PERSONAL insult Is merged in the indig-

THE BRIGGS HOUSE OF CHICAGO COMING
Up TO CRAZE
An Immense Structure upon Sixteen Hun.
dred Screws.
From the Chicago Journal.

From, the Chicago Journal.
The Briggs is going up, though prices
will remain has heretofore. When that
hotel was built, q few years ago, people
complained of the side walk in front of
it, which was much higher than i'm
front of neighboring premises. Time,
that works wonders, has changed the
order of things, and lately the Briggs
House sidewalk has been foot or two
lower than it's neighbors. Messrs. w.
III. Tucker & Co, having affected another
lease of the premises for term of six
years from this spring, determined to
raise the noble structure "to grade"
giving 1t the full benefit of its splendid
first story, which is now four feet and
two inches below grade.
The mammoth undertaking was COM
menced several years ago. The build
ing is massive brick structure, with
mastic facing, five stories high, and
with front Of eighty feet on Randolph
street and oneAhundred and eighty feet
on Wells street. To raise this immense
weight from its foundation, and elevate
the entire mass four feet and two inches,
IS no trif1ing matter, though here in
Chicago, where this sort of thing origi-
mated and has been practiced so fire.
4uently, little more is thought of it
than would be of the moving Of a build
ing from one location to another.
The foundation having been excavated
and the timbers and screws put in place,
this forenoon was selected for the be-
ginning of the grand forward or up
ward movement. A very large force of
workmen, together with q number of
invited gvests," manned the sixteen
hundred screws, and at given signal,
which was sounded at precisely eigh-
teen minutes after II o'clock, the levers
ure, lifted by the irresistible power of
the screw, began its upward journey.
The contract price for raising the
building is $4,000. 1t will cost as much
more to build up the foundations, and
with interior improvements contem-
plated, the entire outlay will exceed
1000. . .....-.. 81

An Informal Report.

Senator Grimes recently stated in
the Senate that he could not vote for
the admission of Colorado, which had
refused to extend the suffrage to colored
citizens, and in O few days after propose
to refuse Virginia until she had extend
ed the suffrage to colored men. We
infer, therefore, that the Reconstruction
Committee, of which Senator Grimes
is member, has agreed to report some
plan Of reconstruction which will en-
sure the right to vote to some portion
of the cOlored race, in the reconstruct
ing States. From the great particu-
larity with which Stephens and other
witnesses were examined, relative to the
acceptability to the Southern whites of
some plan which would admit to vote
only those freedmen who could read
and write, we also infer that q portion
of the committee favor such limita-
ton.
Probably no plan will be reported by
the Reconstruction Committee until It
has been fully matured; and the COM
mittee has good reason 10 believe
that Congress will pass it by two
thirds vote. As the committee is not
radical, but is only fairly representa-
tive of Congress and the loyal people,
any report they may present will no
doubt be favorablv acted upon. A few
days will end the suspense, and we
trust will enable us to present our read
ers with the most important bill ever
presented to an American Congress-
bill not merely to abolish slavery, but
to establish liberty, social and political,
as the birthright of all American citi-
liens.

John A. Elliott.

We are glad to see SO general DISPOSE
ton for the denomination of our present
Auditor of State, Mr.. John A. Elliott,
of Mitchell county. 1t is unnecessary
to urge upon the Convention, to meet
at Des Moines on the Goth of June, to
make him its choice, as we can discover
no opposition among Republicans. in
any part Of the State, to his holding the
office he SO ably and impartially fills
for second term. Indeed, the South
part of the State is quite as anxious for
gentleman's denomination as the North
part, which fact only goes to prove,
what we have all along persistently as
serted, that Northern Iowa has only to
bring forward good men for office, and
be united in supporting such men, to
get all the rights" belonging to it,
John A. Elliott is our candidate for Au-
ditor, most assurediy.

NltrO.Glycerine.

A fiightful explosion Of twelve cases
of nitro-glycerine OH board the British
steamship European, at Aspinwall, took
place on the Sd inst. Sixty-three
names comprise the list of killed,
wounded and missing. The steamer
was entirely destroyed; some four hun
dred feet of the wharf, at which the yes-
sci was unloading. was literally torn to
pieces; large freight house was laid in
ruins, and scarcely building in the
place escaped damage.
In San Francisco, on the 10th inst, a
similar explosion took plack, in or near
Wells, Fargo & Co. IS Express Office, i'll
stantly killing fifteen or twenty per-
sons, and dreadfully injuring many
others, destroying nearly whole block
of buildings, and resulting in damage
of more than two hundred thousand
dollars. .-......
Another explosion at Colfax, CAL, of
this infiammable compound is also
chronicled.
This nitro-glycerinc was invented and
patented by Mr.. Alfred Nobel, a Sweed-
ish engineer, and is commonly called
Nobel's oil. 1t is the result of q mixture
in varying proportions, of nitrous acid
and glycerine, and, sometimes, sulphur
rio acid. This oil was chiefly intended
for the use Of mining companies, and it
is said that one pound Of it is equal to
twelve or fifteen pounds of powder for
blasting purposes. What caused the
oil to explode in the recent instances is
that the nature Of the compound is such
as to render its room preferable to its
company. .,.

Letter from DR.. White, State GeolOgist

| To the Editor of NE Cedar Falls Gazette:
very much regret that my late visit
to your county was necessarily so brief,
for it is well worthy very careful in
vestigation, which hope at no distant
day to give it.
While your county is entirely with
out the coal field, you have an abundant
supply Of fuel in the forests which skirt
the Cedar River, and your material
prosperity is secured beyond failure by
your fertile soil and the plentiful supply
of building material in the shape of
quarry rock, limestone, river sand and
brick clays.
There are good reasons for believing
that some of the rock of your vicinity
will, if properly prepared, make good
hydraulic cement. 1t is true that this
material is procured from the coast quite
cheaply, but it becomes us to produce
within our own borders, any thing of
which our State is capable as well as to
manufacture our own products, in which
latter particular Cedar Falls Is setting
commendable example to other portions
of the State by her enterprising manu-
facturers, assisted by the excellent water
power afforded by the Cedar River.
AS stated to you at the time of my
visit, after few weeks review of the
rocks of the eastern portion of the State,
I shall, with my party, proceed across
the southern portion of the western
part, where justice requires the greater
part of the seasons labor be performed,
from the fact that the western part of
the State was not explored at all while
the survey was formerly in progress
This is necessary from the further fact
that it is of interest to the whole State
that the great geological features of that
part should be accurately known. One
great object of the seasons labors will
be to determine as accurately as posi-
bic the western and northern boundary
of the coal field, together with its char
acter, and the relative value of its Goals.
I will endeavor frequently to make
suggestions both publicly and privately,
concerning matters of economic interest
to the people of the State, and rely to
some extent at least for their develop
ment by the people, assisted by local
biologists, Of which our State affords
many, and for whose friendship and
kindly interest in the survey am very
grateful. ... ....
I, of course, hope at no distant day to
give Black Hawk and the adjoining
counties that careful examination which
they deserve. ..... .. ~,

THE President has been induiging in
more speech-making. He says that he,
the "Tribune of the people," is pursued
by the "whclp of SIM" This is bad
for the "Tribune." In his speech to
the soldiers and sailors, and also in
that to the colored people, he went over
for the fortieth time with the trials and
privatious and sacrifices and evidences
Of patriotism of A. J. Seems to US he
cannot benefit his own past record, nor
help his own cause with the people by
these repeated hard blows at his own
horn. It would be wiser for him to
leave his past life to the judgment OF
history, and see to it that his present
actions are such as will also reflect hon
or upon his name. The President
ought - rule his tongue.
