If they properly understand their duties un-
der the laws of Congress, they can get along
with the greatest ease, and will find no deli
cacy or difficulty in theirpostions. One edi-
tor is Just as much at liberty 70 write against
the reconstruction laws as an0sheris to write
in their favor. One stump speaker has just
as much tight to criticise the Acts of Con-

eral ScoGeld did wrong and exceeded his duty
when he prohibited that literary Bohemian,
Pollard from delivering stupid lecture IN
Richmond but he did right in arfesting 3
white instigator of riot in that city. The
former act interfered with the constitutional
right of free speech the latter prevented .
breach of the peace and punished a violation
of the law.

TIE STREET CAR QUESTION IN New YORK
So much ado has been made Of late about
the exclusion Of negroes from the street rail
way cars of Southern cities, that the follow.
ing from that Radical sheet, the New York
Evening Post, of the 18th inst, is rather as
tonishing:
About eleven o'clock this morning, clean
ly and well dressed negro boy, apparently
fourteen years of age, attempted 70 get into
a Fifth avenue stage on Broadway, but the
driver, with great rudeness, prevented him
from doing go. The occupants of the stage
were only five in number-one lady and four
gentlemen. AS soon as the driver saw the
color of the boy he shut the door, so that the
child could not get into the stage and called
to him in much anger to climb .on top of the
stage. The boy who was burdened with Q
morocco satchel, with difficulty tried to climb
over the wheel to the drivers seat-which
BY the way, is not intended for any person
but the driver. The boy did not succeed il
this effort, either through the opposition o.
the driver, or for some other reason. he de-
scended to the pavement and again tried the
door, but with many objurgations the driver
still held it fast, whipped up his horses, and
drove down the street.

Gustsve has always been considered as pos

be q good hearted and tractable child. w What
could hsge induced him to commit this fear
full crime is beyond our conjecture, except it
be from 90 unavoidable desire to initiate his
father in tAe killing of the pigs. Since the
tragedy he has seemed to realize, in certain
degree, the fearful nature of the deed, and
cries bitterly when he sees how unhappy his
father and mother are. At present he is
kept in close custody, but what disposition
the authorities will make of him I cannot say.
