The time is not far distant, We hope, when
the colored people amongst US will learn that
fanatics who profess to be their exclusive friends,
are often their worst enemies This truth is
already becoming manifest to the honest and
Intelligent portion Of the freed population, and
such facts as the following from the Boston
Journal will serve to open their eyes still more
to the truth "a disgraceful event occurred
Yesterday" says the Journal, sat the stable OF
the Cambridge Union Railway Company, which
shows the i'll feeling and unmanly prejudice
against the col ored race still existing in the
minds of a certain class In the North. MIR.
John C. Styles, Superintendent OF the Compa-
ny, having occasion to employ man to care for
his private horse and carriage, which are kept
in the companv's stable, hired colored man
for that purpose. Mr.. Stiles asked one of the
hostlers yesterday to show the new man some
thing about the harness, " hlch ne refused to
do, saying he would not work with Niger
and that if the niger renamed ne YOU'D
leave. He was told he was ct liberty to do So
upon which he went and told his tolloW.Work
men, and all the hostlerN, some seventeen IN
number, went in body to the office OF the
company and refused to do any more work. =
This event occurred in the city OF Boston,
the Athens of America and the hub OF the
Universe the place were abolitionism trst
began, and where it is supposed to have reach
ed its most philantA,ropic develo lpment.

ITO CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS

Proposals are invited until April 28:h inst
for the leasing for termof Years of the Alex
andria Canal including all Of lis real and other
property This canal extends from the city Of
Alexandria, Va, 10 the city OF Georgetown, D.
c., on the north bank OF the Potomac, where 1t
connects with the Chesapeake and ONO Canal.
The water is from thence conveyed across the
Potomac IN Il wooden trough and Superstruc,
ture, which Is built on granite rock piers, and
and then by land into the Potomac ut AleXdl-
dri+. The following description OF the piers OF
the aqucduct is from Il rcpo tt by the late NJ. =.
Ewing, esq, Civil Engineer - An abutment is
built against the Chesapeake: and Ohio Canal at
Georgetown. The Alexandria Canal commence
ing 1T this point is carried across the Potomac
on an aqucduct lGJOfr ct long. This aqucduct
was located BY surveys made in 1881. Of the
eight piers rs now built are i'll water from 30
to 40 feet deep and founded - to 33 fcei below
the surface. The abutmcnts and piers were all
built in Golfer dams pumped out and dredged by
steam machinery to the solid rock, on which
they are erected in cement and trowcl work
from foundation. This lab0rious construction
WAS the work Of several years, with q large
force engaged night and day except during part
Of the winter months. The piers are carried up
80 feet above the river surface, and are there
fore in height from 80 to 20 feet. They, are
about 20 feet long at base, and - To II feet thlck
at the water surface. They are Of granite rock
laid in cclmo t, and having stood the Hoods and
urliiS LOT s|NcIH years. l0tpi are Dcllc' =" w Dc
of mpcr;siiabIe material and workmanship -
The cos! Of the aQucduct S575 Isl .43, including
about $50, Go for the wooden trough and super
structure. The other portion Of the canal en-
banllments, cuIvcrts, locks. wharvcs, ferry at
Georgetown, &c, cost over $500, COG. The
Alexandria Canal mey be properly called the
terminus OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal: -
There was transported Of Goa alone, oyer o0e the
Alcxandria Canal III 1860, about 3O0 900 tons,
and the coal trade has largely increased since,
but owing to the war no coal has come over the
Alexandria Canal, tor the reason that the aque-
duct has been used by the Government as a
wagon road from Georgetown to Arlington
Parties contracting will be required to ? lace and
keep the canal and aqucduct III order and repair,
and to use the canal and aqueduct for the pur.
poses for whichitwa originally constructed and
no other unless By consent Of all the contract
ing parties For further information, such as
obligations to be assumed, and conditions to be
complied with, address, or apply in person to

A CASE FOR CHARITY. -General Butler, in
his recent speech before the Legislature at Har-
risburg uttered this declaration
"We had conqured the South conquered
them of all their rights, except one-the right
to be hanged He had impoverished himself,
and shed the blood of a brother and son in de-
fence Of the great principles for which they had
fought, and he for one would never yield I'M
less some Of the leaders in the rebellion were
hung"
Here is case for charity-a hero Empower
ished in the service of his country. Persons
