~ 10 Michigan it has been decided
BY the supreme court that "white male
citizens" in the constitution, includes
negroes less than oue-quarter African.
This is queer decision. The prece-
dents to sustain the conclusion that
just quarter of en- African makes g
negro, and that one drop of blood less
than a quarter makes a white man,
must have been curious from their rariS
ty. Under this decision, q Michigan
nigger may have very light complex
ion and Michigan white man sus :
piciously dark one.

The New York Tri5l01e has Il fling at
a ''cart load of'rich men, in New York,
who lately came out from the Radicals.
and took active part in the Philadel-
phia Convention and in the reception
of the President in New York. Now,
we do not suppose that y. 7. LEWIS,
MOSES TAYLOR, MARSHALL .. RO-
BERTS, the NANDERBILT>, and the
rest composing the "cdrt load" need
any defence from any one, or that they
will make any apology to the Tribune
for their conduct. But people l0W in
quire, why did they take the course
they have taken!
The answer is easy, and should be
well pondered by other men, rich and
not rich, who hold the bonds of the
United States Government, and their
answer is:
/. This "cart load Of rich men" are
large holders OF the securities of the
United States.
,. They live and move at centre
where they see and know all the eff
fects, accomplished and probable, OF
the policy of the Radicals upon those
securities.
3. They are justly alarmed at the
proposal to keep the Uniondi vided fol
three years or indefinitely, for if the
Radicals succeed in this the interest
cannot be paid, and anarchy may pos.
5ibly .ensue, in which case our bonds
would be worthless.
Now these rich men may be very
poor politicians, but they are very goot
fnanciers-and those who own the
bonds, or desire to maintain the public
credit right, do we'll to take the advice

ABOLITION ASSASsINS.

The fury of the Abolition press gen.
orally, because Of the popular uprising
Of the people to welcome the President
of the United States as hejourneys to-
wards the tomb of Douglas at Chicago,
is pertectlyawful. Forney, alluding to
Mr.. Seward, speaks of the 'miStaken
stabs'' of the assassin Payne. Hear
what the vile inciter to assassination
says:
"Mr. Seward, bearing the ghastly
marks of Payne's mistaken stabs"
looked out upon the scene with a glare
very much like MephistophilcS, as ne
is understood blythe later students Of
that cold and relentless tiend."
This monstr0us language prompts
the Age to inquire "what exactly is
meant' by "Payne's mistaken stabS?"
\ Amistakeisane error, a blunderawrong,
is kindred to a faults always to be re-
GREETED sometimes to be condemned.
1t not Payne's stab that the Press
condemns and regrets. 1t is the ''mis-
taken stab" and if we comprehend the
force of words there is limited here Il
hope that the next blow may be more
sure and the next assassin strike like
Booth and not make a mistake like
Payne.

the multitude, there being a TailOrs'
Association among them, alluded to

The malignity of thebatlied conspira

then the rabble are appealed to ''pul
