NEGROES II PASSENGER CAUSE.-THE
vote in the Pennsylvania House. last
week, upon Glass amendment prohibiting
city Passe"ger rail,cays from refusing to car
~ passengers on account Of color or race,
should open the eyes of the voters Of
Pennsylvania TO the drift Of Republican
demagogues. The Democratic members
consistently and persistently vote against
the negro mania in every shape. whilst
the ''RepubHcans' are constantly pro-
posing and voting for legislation intended
to bring about negro suffrage and equality
Notwithstanding that last summer the
citizens of Philadelphia, almost unani-
mously, voted against negroes riding in
the same cars with them, and notwith-
standing the railroad companies set aside
special cars for the blacks, the ''Republi-
caa" demagOgues are not satisfied, nor
will they be short Of full negro equality!
They care nothing for the comfort or
rights of the white men and women of
the State. Let the people, therefore, note
and remember these facts, and whenever
these false legislators come forward for
white mems suftrages, let them be sent TO
their friends, the negroes, for ballots =
Let their friends, and the candidates nom
mated by their conventions, be served in
the same way. Only by so doing can this
Government be kept in purity for white
men and their posterity.
Let it be kept in mind that this negro
equality bill was passed in the House by
a vote of ayes 43-all Republicans; and
nays 31-all Democrats! Let it be borne
in mind, also, that John W. Geary is the
candidate of those who voted for thrusting
negroes into the cars with white people,
while special cars are being run for ne
groes. White men, can you vote for the
candidate Of such traitors to your comfort
and rights No, you cannot !-Hq741s-

e. Thad Stevens said during the last
Congress that-''This Union never shall,
with my consent, be restored under the
Constitution as it is" The old traitor,
assisted by Wilson, and Sumner, with in
stTaments under his control such as Bar
ker and others, is now labogjng to prevent
a restoration Of the Union under the Con-
stitution For a time it was thought he
might prove successful in his efforts. But
brave Andy Johnston has taken his stand
upon the Constitution the mass Of the
people manifest determination to stand
by the President, and the indications are
that the efforts of Stevens and other rope
deserving traitors will be defeated and the
country VIII get be restored. Patriots, if
You love your country, fear your God, and
delight not in human degradation, it de-
wolves upon you to stand by Andrew John
son as long as he stands by the Constitu-

Company, organized on a magnificent scale,
proposes to make Petroleum a business like
gold, lead, copper, iron, coal, and as expert

profitable than either. The Company. it
will be seen, owns twelve hundred acres in

owned by any one company. The stock is

a member of the Manhatten Club, the
Democratic organization on Fifth avenue,

and has also agreed to sit for full length

What I have stated above is whst ap
pears in general terms from McBride's
version, and from the general recoilec-
ton of others, of the main facts, to-wit:
that Merideth was cowhided By q man
about half his size, and that be attempt.
ed no other resentment than law suit,
there is no room for doubt. There may
be some mistake abou t the secesh la
dies and the. party, but Mcbride avows
tits true as stated. And it iswell known
that while in command ct Paducah,
Meredith had altogether too much re-
gard for the feelings Of rebels and toe
little for the feelings of Union officers.
Whatever there may be in the case, il
is very. certain that the Secretary OF
War sees much in it to amuse him, for
the clerks of the War Department say
that the walls of Mr.. Stanton's Office
fairly shook With the laughter evoked
from the divinity who presides there,
while Col. Mcbride related the circum-
stances of the case in his hearing yes
terday, Edwin repeatedly interrupted
the narrative to declare that it was the
best thing he had ever heard in his life;
and when 1t came to description of
Merediths appearance while the logging
was going on, there was for short time
great danger Of vacancy in the Cabi-
net, owing to the hysterical conduct of
the War Minister. htsa Ai. ''ta

The VERY LATEST
TELE CIR a NJ III,
ssepens, the FenIan Leader.

NEw YoRK, Jan. 5.-The London
Shipping Gazette says, curious theo-
~ is held by some persons respecting
Stephens, the Fenian leader. Il is sug-
gested that he had been q spy in the
employ of the Government, and that he
was apprehended BY mistake Having
been taken, however, it was absolutely
necessary to keep up appearances by
sending him to Jail, siRce be was well
known to have taken part with The ser
ditious party in days gone by. When
imprisoned all necessary facilities were
given him, and thus he made what is
called his mysterious escape. This, of
course, is only theory, but it is to
some extent supported by the fact that
the Lord Lieutenant has refused to ap-
point Commission to inquire into the
case. On the other hand, the fact that
the Governor of the Richmond Bride
well has been removed, tells somewhat
against this theory, but its supporters
allege that advantage was taken of
those events to modify the government
of the Bridewell For the future it will
bs invested in the Viceroy instead Of the
corporation. 4a'
