EoUAt1rY::Gon last satnrday-night, at the
speakiug on Broad street, we noticed Rad
ical who was talking with the negroes'abont
equality, advising them't6 demand their social
rights. A tall negro, evidently from che
country, but sharp withal, said TO him: .
'sAre YOU willing for us niggcrs to sit IN
your parlor, court yoar daughters, accom-
pany them to church and balls, and marry
them 2" %
Mr.. Rad commenced to explain what
equality was, and what he meant.
".No, mol" cried the negro; what want
is an answer, yes or DO"
"Well,".said Me-. Rad, ~ wns raised-"
~ No matter ahar you, was. raised," inter
rupted the negro, das amt e.: nothing to
do wild it, you is either in favor or you amt,
and / would like y3u to answer my question"
Mr.. Rad tried again and again to explain
his position on that particular satnre,of ne.
GRO equality: But the negro would stop him
and denahd uyes or no;' = 50 he finally
gave it mp, leaving the negro master Of the
field. We believe in the old negro's nanner

Along its brimming bosom
Perpetual summer smiles,
And gathers, likc n golden robe,
Around the emerald isles.

That gem the wave serene,
The image of tho cloudless shore
Of holy heaven is seen.

Rumor On the street had it to-day that
three hotels in this city-the Po&hatan, Bal

share of Southern patronage, was unable a.
few days ago to meet a bill falling due on
Broad, street. Paralytic symptoms have at
tackled all kinds OF business. Two stores
closed to-das, and theavstage number now
along the street, either for rent or for sale,
reckons three on every block. The city ter
ritory having been extended, sixteen extra po-
lieemen were put on duty last evening within
the new acquisition. IN connection with, this,
General Brown, of the Freedupen's Bureau,
denied to-day the report giving him credit for
issuing an ordeyto the Mayor TO appoint nalf
of the additional force of policemen. from
the negro population. He, however, advises

nearing that the Prince consort of Great
Britain had departed this life, made applisa-
ion fer the hand Of Queen Victoria. through
the English Consutat his Court. OF course
the application was refused, whereupou tie
indignant King, showing that Abyssinia had.
no fury like a Theodore scerned, clapped the
English Consul, and several other English
peorle male aud, female, in Jail. This was
three years ago, and ever since the British
Government have been trying to extTicate
these. victims, who, meantime, have been sub
iected to all sorts OF indignities, craelties,
pr;xalions and even totturcs. The, reason
why war was not openly declared, was 'tfat

over. it was well known that at the first wits

troops has been ordered by the British Gov.
ernment 10 Abyssinia, to compel the King Of
that country to release the British. subjects
who havc-bsan held prisoners there for long
time past. It.may be interesting TO know
that the Abyssinian religion is formed On
Christiau basis, with Jewish pecularities. the
people are Caucasians of Bcdouin type, which
has been crossed with Greek, Portuguese,
jew, Gala and negro: The. men ara very

They ore an immoral.face cruel, treacherous

tLeir hands full in this undertaking with the
Jealous and angered descendant Of Solomon,
and nothing less than the destruction OF the
prisoners may be expected.

The w. a. II. Railroad Important
Action OF the Directors,

The Board OF Directors of the Wilmington &
Reading X. r., met in Philadelphia, on Tuesday.
After long session, in which the merits and nd
vantages OF the various routes were faithfully
discussed, and the figures, date, and facts con-
corning the whole road were patiently examined
and compared, il was resolved that the Southern
end of the road should be located on what Is
known us the Brandywine route, procided $780,
600 of stock should be raised outside Of Whining
ton; that the releases for right OF way shall be
ample and satisfactory, and the Wilmington end
Of tho road be commenced and completed as soon
as any other portion.
| 1t was resolved that the capital stock should be
increased to $500, 900, 1t having stood NJ the old
amount SfOO,00O, till now. OF this amount over
| 800, OOJ was shown to be actually subscribed,
and about 500, 900 or over is held by citizens OF
Delaware The city Of Wilmington, by the
present understanding, is not required to raise
! anything further
The Board were unanimously Of the opinion that
the Western route presented practical difficulties
| In respect to grades curvat0ns, and expense OF
tunneling, &c, which made the choice Of the 9TH
er line greatly preferable. This conclusion was
| reached after a most minute investigation, and
received the full consent of every member of the
| Board
1t is understood that the remaining Stocks will
be taken promptly, and ten per cent. will be called
in, and the road put under contract at an early
day. The utmost harmony and enrnestncss pre-.
walls among the Directors, and we have no donbl
that this great enterprise VIII soon be ready &c
