MIDNIGHT REvEL.--For the last sew
eral nights the Stillman Hall, at the cor
ner of Madison and Second streets, has
been one grand bedlsm of negroes
dancing and reveling almost the entire
night. to the annoyance of white men
and women-depriving ell occupants OF
the adjacent apartments of sleeping or
restiua: and not satisfied with that,
sneak around and plumber professional
men of many valuables, which Is always
the case when men claiming to be Of
Anglo. Saxon blood permit such assem-
blies in their buildings for the sake OF a
few dollars. 1t is high time that owners
of public halls should consider that it is
below the dignity of their race to have
such assemblies where gentlemen whites
are frequently wont to meet for various
PURPOSES. How long these nocturnal
orgies are TO continue is not known, but
It should be spusned by every white man
in the city, and every VOICE should be
raised to condemn it, which viii sooner
or later have the desired effect, when the
city can claim its rank among an intelli-
gent and praiseworthy citizenship.

THE NEW YEAR.-To- morrow being
the fret of the new year, we suppose 1t
will be generally observed as a holiday.
All the newspapers, banks and principal
business houses will suspend operations
in order to give their employees an OPP
portunity of spending one more day In
recreation before commencing the ar
duous duties Of the coming year. This
will no doubt be gratifying to those who
have struggled on through '6s, and ex-
pect to be subjected to the same during
the next year. Well, as We have but one
more holiday to enjoy let US enjoy 1t in
the full sense Of the word. Let us all
haze . feast "a dinner-turkey, egg
uor and the like, and let US purchase
these things where they can be had pure
and fresh and for the least money. We
know Of such place, and it's on the
corner Of Third and Adams streets, and
Mr.. ]. Desoto is the proprietor. He is q
cleve. gentleman and viii treat you right.

Waking Up.

The cotton lords Of New England are at
last seriously alarmed at the results of un-
friendly legislation and the general policy
oithe Radical majority in Congress towards
the South, upon cotton production in the
United States We see that cotton man
ufacturers convention is to be held in New
York, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, on April
29th, to consult on the general interests of
their business. The call for the convention
is issued by six of the leading cotton manu-
facturers of Massachusetts, and the object
of it is said to be ''to observe legislation
with constant care, and with all proper in
fuence to guard against enactments hurt
full or erroneous, and promote those which
shall be right and beneficial; to collate, di-
gest and disseminate among the members
all the attainable information and statistics
that shall be accurate and trustworthy; to
promote cotton cultivation in our country,
and recognition of the identity of inter-
ests between the cotton grower and manu-
facturer; and, generally, to accomplish by
associated efforts whatever may be found
right and expedient for the common good
and within the sphere of the association" :"

Oue Of the most painful signs of the dis
organization of the times is the discussion
Of "Womln's Rights" On the face Of the
earth there is no other country where the
immunities of the female sex are more jeal-

truism: "Women have more strength in
their looks than we have in our laws, and
more power by their tears than we hare by
our arguments" Here they commaid, 80
