OF the abolition amendment 10 the Constl-
tudon upon the status OF she eegrc@s freed

made. ii
b "Preyiens 70 the amendment there was q
considerable class Of free negroes In nearly
every State and Territory. They amount

In 1900 20 4SS.070. In all the slave, and
most of the free States, they were subject
20 civil or political disabilities. by reason
of their race and color. To pretend that
the emancipation amendment changed their
condition or enlarged their rights, l. pre-
posterous. But the Civil Rights bill will
Include them all within the scope Of its
provisions How. hi the name of common
sense, could an amendment having refer
ence only TO the Southern slaves, confer
upon Congress the right TO change the
civil condition of the free negroes?
.In Maryland there were, in 1850 s3,9ls
free negroes and 81, ls9 slaves In Virginia,
5SOi2 free negroes and i9O,S05 slaves In
North Carolina, 30.483 free negroes and

eB-The first election under the eitychar-
ter of Scranton, Luzerne County, Pa, took
place on the 9th inst, and resulted in a
Democratic victory. The Radicals were
confident of success. All their power was
put In requisition, and money contributed
from abroad to aid them in gaining possess
sion of the new city. But they were
signally defeated. The majority on some
portions of the Democratic ticket reached
over three hundred and fifty, ona vote
larger than ever before polled. The peo-
pie are tired of the Radical policy. They
desire peace and attention to the interests
of white men, not discord and the bestow-
al of all legislative action in favor of the
negroes.

America a Match for Napoleon.

Cornelius O'Dowd writer in Black
rood, who entertains no great affection
for this country, is yet delighted with
the Mexican situation. He says: Z
A more insufferable piece Of insolent
pretension cannot be imagined than what
is called the Monroe doctrine That my
next door neighbor should not live in a
certain style lest the servants in my
house should become dissatisfied, is too
gross an absurdity to be entertained
That whatever rules he prescribe for my
family should be adopted by every one
who resides in the same street, is some
what overbearing; and yet, with all this,
declare l am all for the Yankee in this
Mexican row. II is not the justice of
the case | want to think Of 1t is not
whether France has the right on her side
and whether this demand to retire be one
of those mandates high spirited nation
cannot submit to; my whole considera-
ton is limited to the fact-here, at last,
the greatest bully of Europe has met his
match Here is young, athletic, dar-
ing fellow, ready to go into the ring with
that finished pugilist that none of us have
the courage to fight, and who, even with
the gloves on, doubles us in fashion far
from agreeable.
America dares to hold language to
France that all Europe combined would
not utter. There's no denying it; there's
no qualifying it. If we had conti-
mental coalition tomorrow, we could not
venture to say what America has just
said. What Minister of Russia, or Eng
land or Austria, would say to the French
Emperor We were thinking of some
thing else when you slipped into Savoy
and Nice the other day; now that
our hands are free, you will have to 60
back again. We are famous for brave
words in our Foreign Office, but does any
one expect that such message as this
will ever issue from Whitehall2
We would no more provoke the Tuile-
ries by an insolent dispatch than we
would go into one of Van Amburghs
cages and kick the lion. 1t has become
sort of European superstition that
France can beat every one, and | am
downright grateful to the Americans that
they don t. believe it. 1z

age by that false adulation they deal in.

Jefferson Davis and His Opinions.

A correspondent of Northern paper
writes that he has seen the great state
prisoner, Jefferson Davis. He says:
| obtained a pass to enter the Fortress,
where had not been many hours whenI
met the great rebel chief, JEFF. Davis, face
to face, while he was taking his usual
daily walk on the ramparts, under escort
of an officer by his side, and two armed
soldiers behind him; and | had a good
view of him as he passed me- He was
well dressed, had light colcred felt hat
and new boots. His eye was clear and
bright, his step firm, and his bearing as
proud as Roman conqueror be in
dulged in this recreation every day, and
is, apparently, cheerful and free from
care. During these walks he frequently
recites scraps of Latin and Greek poetry.
He is privileged with the use of the fine
library of the Fortress, and is permitted
to write, of course, under the inspection
of the commanding officer.
He is a great smoker, and when in his
apartment employs his time in writing,
reading and praying. Alternate ly he is
very quiet and pious, and restive and
boisterous He freely expresses his
opinions about the Generals and leaders
on both sides He thinks Mcclellan was
our greatest general, and says Grant is
no soldier, nothing but butcher: Lin
coin was a good-natured man but jack
ass; Andrew Johnson is pretty smart
and inclined to do the fair thing so far
as he can, but he is not a great man.
He thinks his capture was very un-
lust, as he was fairly paroled by
the surrender of General Lee and
johnson, and says that if he had had any
idea of being taken, he could easily have
made his escape. He was terribly en-
ragged at what Foo.e of Mississippi, said
to him, and declared that Foote was a
constitutional liar that he had often
told him so that he was glad when he
made his escape from the Confederacy,
and that he gave orders to let him go,
and not to stop him, adding, | was glad
TO get rid of such a nuisance.
fThe Duke of Marlborough, JEFF
saws deserted his sovereign fought
successfully under the banners Of another
Prince. and his name has come down in
history as one of the noblest men and
greatest of Generals of the time. But
Marshal Ney, one of Napoleon's famous
Generals, who, after the banishment OF
Napoleon TO Elba, gave in his adhesion
to the ruling powers, and again Joined
his chief on his return, was, after his
fnal overthrow, taken and shot as a
traitor"
His commentary upon these historic
facts vas this: Treason never prospers
for when it does, none dare call it
treason"

Gen. cass Dying from softening of the
Brain

The editor of the Lacrosse wisconsin,
Democrat who is now in Detroit, writes
as follows:
Gen. Cass is still alive, though his fem
lily have gathered here in daily expecta-
tion of his decease. The General is now
in his eighty-fourth year. He passes
most Of his time in sleep, undisturbed.
At rare intervals he wakens up sufficient
ly to ask for some of his old friends, who
are sent for bnt on arriving, even within
the hour he is generally asleep again
His disease is softening of the brain,
from years of mental labor in the service
of his country. He has all the care, at
tention and nursing it is possible to give.
His family look upon him with the great
est reverence and satisfaction, and pray
that his last day on earth may be far dis
taut. At times he is able to converse
quite freely and nationally with his fam
lily but this is the exception, not the rule.
