General Ansenie Lopez de santa ANNA and
she Chevalisr George Francis Train.
That astonishing will-o'-the-wisp, the Cheva-
lier George Francis Train, has been making
"a bold stroke for the Presidency. In being
arrested In Ireland as Fenan and in being
pmprisonsd as q flibuster in Cork he has got
his name into the newspapers of all parties in
both hemispheres. The time was propitious,
land In seizing the opportunity he has shown
hpon what small things nine days wonder
may be blown upon the world. His release
tfrom limbo through the Intervention of Mr..
Adams with Lord Stanley has saved our enter
prising chief engineer oil the CIedit Mobilisr in
Omaha and Of women's rights in Kansas from
the fate of Fenian martyr; but his imprison-
ment by "the minions OF British tyranny" has
for all that made him Fenian hero. His
claim for damages in. one hundred thousand
pounds sterling may be thought big figure !;
but Train never does things by halves. Why
mot hundred thousand as well as hundred
Moreover, who shall say to man who has
both hemispheres to look after that hundred
Thousand pounds for the loss Of even . day or
awo Is too muchs A mans damages must be
gauged according TO the scope of his business
operations. As II stands, at all events, this
affair OF Trains at Queenstown and Cork is Z
great hit Il puts him far ahead of Colorado

Aside from ell the small questions Of persons
and places, the policy of the majority in Con-
kress has but one point and purpose. Aside
from the disputes as to who shall be Secretary
of War, what johnson will do and what candi-
6ate has the best chance for the Presidency, the
grand object Of ell legislation and all political
activity is to put the niger above the white
tnan over one-third tho area Of this Union.
Such policy was surely never before enter
tained BY any governing power Of the civilized
world. Judging from oil the knowledge ofthe
relations and development of races that IL yet
attained, this polioyis direct violation Of the
laws of God and nature. II Is not only an
attempt to amalgamate socially races that only
she crimes Of men have brought together but
r is an attempt to SO bind society up in laws
- to secure the supremacy of the baser and
more brutal race. Grown in another climate,
the native Of another continent, the negro
camo to this country mainly through the crimi-
pal activity Of Puritan slavetraders; and now
the sons Of those Puritans would condone the
hrst crime by second and greater one, and
give oil their thoughts their utmost exertion
simply to put the niggers in position 70

nnder their feet and to demand social equality

bal party. Frightened now at the disgusting
bnormity Of this purpose, whoas ultimate effect
That party dimly begins to see, IL would deny

indignation and, hatred.
