One ofthc toasts drunl, at the pu-

Lloyd Garrisons old slogan slightly

The HTald wishes to abolish the
Supreme Court, because it has decided
that trials Of civilians by military
courts areillegal. The Herald fears
that the Uburt will yet undo all that
"the glorbns war" has achieved, un-
less Congress at once "reconstructs'
il. Five out of ninc Of the Judges
noware bincoln's appointees, and does
it think that Johnson would be likely

After Fred. Douglass had closed
one of his rigmaroles in Bcechcr's S
church, a white woman rushed upon
the platform and kissed the sable apos-
tie Of all the negl oes This is another
blow upon the laccrated heart of poor
Mrs Fred. Douglass. who has been
suffering for years with intOlerable
jealousy in consequence Of the undue
fondness of the wives and daughters
Of the Aboliti6nists for her fascinating
husband If he does not find the

A Republican paper says, "Thad.

whole American people for his fidelity
to Republican principles Yes, that

We notice that several Democratic
papers are surprised that the Common
wealfh, negro Republican paper pub
lished in Fond du Lac, is printed on
type stolen by the editor from print
ing Office in Tennessee. But this
ought not TO astcnish anybody. II
the materials were not stolen, it might
be little surprising lfany Repub-

TO serve a. remembrances of his loy-

should say the way was open to Col

or Joe Holt, or his hired witness, Con
overl We are astonished not to have
heard that both Stanton and Boston
Corbett were in the field for the Mon
grel nomination Stanton may not
be quite as good looking as Boston
Corbett, but he is as handsome man
as old Abe was, aud if he is less coarse
in his manners, he makes up the def

The Washington Chronicle, edited
by "the dead Duck alias John W.
Forney, calls upon Congress to take
the Supreme Court of the United
States in hand, for having decided
that military commissions for the tri.
Al Of civilians are unconstitutional
We do not wonder that such fellows
IS Forney should take alarm-for that
decision makes murderers of every
rascal who had anything to do with

itill insist that the "loyal negroes
,aved the country" We guoss this
5 true, for the condition of the coun-
.ry looks as though its salvation was
he work Of negroes. And then il
ook so few negroes to save it. The
whole number Of darkies in the Abo-
ition army was l69,624, of whom
1887 deserted, and 2O,236 were dis
iharged for disability So it took
,nly $4,000 negroes to save the coun
ry. According to these Republican
caders 100000 of white men were
rot equal 20 $4,000 negroes. Let
