THE yEwsDEALERs, ASSOCIATION.

Organization Of q Protective SOciety-COmbi-
nation Against the Wholesale News Compa.
uies.
meeting OF the retail newsdealers of New York,
Brooklyn, Williamsburg. Jersey City and Hoboken
was held last evening at the Apollo Rooms Prince
street. About one hundred and twenty persons
were present, comprising among their number some
of the heaviest retail traders The object OF the meet
ing was, as announced In the call, to organize a
newsdealers' protective union association for the
protection of the mutual rights and interests OF all
parties concerned.
temporary organization was effected by the ap-
pointment OF chairman, secretary and treasurer
after which several gentlemen addressed the meet.
ing In advocacy or cooperation among the
retail dealers against the encroachments and ex-
tOrti0ns OF the American and New York News
Companies. The movement, It appears, was brought
about by a recent advance by the wholesale news
corporations OF one-quarter OF cent per copy on all
advance by wholesale deaiers within a period OF
about month, ten cents per hundred copies hav-
ing been some time since added by the news compa-
nies to the former prices Of some papers published In
New York. The late advance was denounced as mon-
increased charge by the publishers and the measure
believed to be an act Of oppression on the part OF
these monopOsts. 1t was necessary, therefore, that
some means should be adopted and vigorously fol-
lowed up protect the interests OF the retail deal
ers, whose lvelihoods were dependent upon main-
tenance Of existing rates. while to the capitalists
already large profits Several OF the speakers stated
that they had been authorized by some Of the heaviest
publishers the city to say that they opposed
To the action OF the companies In the matter and
that soon as the retail dealers showed signs OF
earnestness In resisting the wholesale traders the
publishers would assist and recognize them and
would sell them their publications at the rates
as they are now furnished TO the three great news
companies. The retail traders could, 1t argued,
bring these monopoles 70 terms by refusing to sell
the papers on which the advance had been made;
and as there not less than thousand dealers
in New York and vicinity they could by the preyen-
ton of the sale Of two copies each OF those pubca
tions reduce the circulation by two thousand
copies at the start This was placed at the
lowest estimate; but 1t was believed that
many dealers would be able to prevent the sale
OF ten copies EACH They had no difficulty with the
publishers as it was not with them or by their
action that the complaint was made necessary; but
by thus embarrassing and reducing the circulation
the publishers would themselves become more
deeply interested In the cause OF the retail dealers
committee Of five was appointed to draft q con-
stituton and bylaws and second committee was
appointed to report nominations OF permanent
Officers for the year. These committees will report
at meeting to be called next week, the result OF
their labors. The greatest enthusiasm was mani
tested by all present.

WHO Is TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI-
DATE?-The cliques and factions Of the demo-
cratic party are in a great quandary about
Presidential candidate. They want to win,
but do not know how to go about it. We have
been trying for some time to hammer common
sense into their dull heads, but the result is
doubtful. However, we will continue to have
compassion on them and give them good
advice. If they will not take Mr.. Chase-who
is their strongest card, If they only knew it
we recommend them not to try any of the
small politicians-the poor Pierces-spoken Of;
for If they do they will lose. And as to mill
tary heroes, it is no use taking second or
third rate man to run against the great captain
of the war. If they must take soldier, let
1t be General Lee; for he is the only one that
can rival Grant in military ability and fame.
He is the man of all others for military can

works in this city for producing oxygen for in
dustrial applications. The English, whom Mr..
Mill lately alarmed by predicting the spproach-
ing exhaustion of their coal fields, and the
threatened consequent loss Of their supremacy
as manufacturing nation, may now be re-
assured by the prospect of an efficient substi-
tute for coal as source Of light and heat. In
fine, the whole civilized world may rejoice in
mans latest scientific applications Of oxygen,
the element which first exhibited its afinities
at the dawn Of creation, when God said, 'Let
there be light"

WENDELL PHILLIPS on CuAsE.-We transfer
to our columns to-day from the Anti-Slauery
Standard fearful philippe from Wendell
Phillips against S. P. Chase as the prospective
democratic Presidential nominee. II appears
from this bull Of accommodation from the
abolition church that Chase ''has no soul to
SELL" that he is only ''the empty sheath Of
man." that he is neither an honest nor an ear
nest man that in joining the democracy 'the
Chief Justice staked worthless counters against
empty promises" and that ''both cheats are
cheated and no harm DONE" This looks like
business. A democratic venture which strikes
Greeley dumb and which arouses the wrath Of
Phillips after this fashion 10 evidently shot
which strikes the radical hulk between wind
and water.

Senator Sumner ON Negro Representation.
Mr.. J. W. Smith, of Norfolk, Va, writes to
Senator Sumner to know If colored man
should be elected to Congress would he be ell
gible under the first article, second section, of
the constitution of the United States9 Mr..
Sumner replies that he knows of no ground on
which he (the colored many could be excluded,
and that such representative is necessary to
complete the triumph Of equal rights. This,
however, does not answer Mr.. Smiths question.
The second section, first article, of the constitu
ton to which he refers says :-"No person shall
be representative Gin Congress) who shall not
have attained to the age of twenty-five years
and have been seven years Q citizen Of
the United States," &c. Supposing that
DR.. Bayne, the colored candidate up for Con-
gress in the Norfolk district, is elected, his
eligibility will essentially depend upon his
competency to answer this question :-"Have
you been seven years a citizen of the United
States?" He may, perhaps, answer eyes,
sir; was born and raised in my district, and
have lived there all my life." But that will not
do. According to the Dred Scott decision Of
the Supreme Court Qs56) negroes are not
citizens of the United States. If we are not
mistaken this decision remained ''the supreme
law Of the land" until the year 1866, when, by
the passage of the Civil Rights bill, negroes
born upon the soil were by law proclaimed
citizens of the United States. If we are cor
rect in this, DR.. Bayne, the colored candidate
for Congress in the Norfolk district, has, under
the law, been only two years citizen of the
United States, and is, therefore, ineligible.
Not only 80, but neither he nor any other citi-
zen of African descent in the country will be
eligible to the House of Representatives for
five years to come, and for the Senate seven
years more of citizenship will be required to
admit colored member. Such, as it appears
to US, is the law but as each house of Con-
gress is by the constitution made the judge of
the qualifications, &C., Of its members, we
presume that there will be no difficulty about
the eligibility Of DR.. Bayne, if elected, to the
present House of Representatives.
