The assassination of Darcy McGee at Of
tawa, @. W., occasions great excitement, not
only through Canada, butat the NORTH where
he was we'll known. He was shut on the
steps of his residence. He had just left the
House of Parliament in company with other
members, and as he was applying the latch.
key to the door Of his residence was shot
from behind and instantly killed. The assas-
sin was SO close that the hair of Mr.. McGee's
head was burned ty the flash from the pistol
which killed him. Ottawa is in regular
state of siege, and every avenue is guarded
as it is supposed the man who did the shoot,
ing is an emissary from New York, and would
make the greatest efforte to escape to that
city. Montreal shows respect for the deceas'
ed by flying flags at halfmast and other man
ilestations OF sorrow for her late statesman.
The widest rumoIs are aaoat, and tend to
increase the excitement and alarm. Some
say, although not generally credited, it is the
work of Fenians, of whom MCGEE was a
bitter enemy, and by whcvn he was equally
! hated. .sr.s9 sar--S-- -

From the Ne,O York Citizen.
Is He Dictator YETI

The Tribune, of yesterday, In its largest ano
loudest type, placed at the head of its editorial
olcumns, an article stating that "Gen. Grant
finds it not inconsistent with his duty as q
soldier, to announce it as his opinion that the
only hope for the peace of the country is the
success of the pending impeachment trial
He feels that national security demands the
removal of the President. When
the General of our armies entertains this con
viction, there is no room for doubt as 70 the
duty of the Senate. The loyal nation de-
mands the Presidents removal. On reading
this, may We not we'll exclaim:
Is this the land our fathers loved
Whose freedom they have died to win?
Is this the soil whereon they moved,
Are these the graves they slumber in?
Are we the sons by whom are borne
The mantles which the dead have worn?
We pillory the foregoing paragraph as one
of the most significant ever published within
our experience of American journalism. Here
is the President on trial before something
which either is or pretends to be 8 court OF
Justice. There is no allegation made by the
Tribune that his guilt or innocence are the
points to be determined. But since the Cen
eral of our armies" entertains a conviction
fayoring the removal of the accused Chief
Magistrate, nthere is no room for doubt" /"
SAYS this Radical Journal. "as to the duty OF
the Senate What can we have so far fall
en- already? Can our Senators, sitting as
Judges, under solemn oaths to well and tru-
" try and true deliverance Make" have al
ready fallen so low as to have no other "du-
ty" than that Of carrying out I" removal
of the President" prescribed, to them and
dictated by "the General'of our armies n .
On behalf of General Grant, we hope and
believe there is no syllable of truth in the
Tribune's' statement. And on behalf of the
American people, we most earnestly pray, if
this atrocious averment shall prove true, that
President johnson may have the frmness to
exercise his unquestlonable prerogatiye-even
it it be the last act of his official life-by re-
voking Gen. Grants commission, and order
ing tho name Of this great mutineer to be
stricken from the muster-rolls of our army.
IF this be true, Gen. Grant is already assum-
ing the part of Cromwell; and it is time for
all men who value our free system of govern,
ment, to prepare themselves for resistance to
this threat of military usurpation. Il Never
could men die better than fancing odds in such
o quarrel. But we utterly refuse to believe
at present, and can never be brought to be-
lieve, without positive evidence, tkat. General
Grant has SO far forgotten his oath and duty,
both as soldier and citizen. The statement
looks to us like a reckless electioneering ca
nard, designed to influence the contest in
Connecticut But on what melancholy days
must we have fallen, when such caDard as
this can be considered popular or likely to
secure more votes to the party putting it for
ward!

10 SUFFRAGE AND NEGRO EQUALITY

NO SUFFRAGE AND NEGRO EQUALITY
Iris noteworthy fact that only yesterday
the State of Michigan repudiated negro suf-
fragG and to-day both of her Senators here
votedsto fasten negro equality upon the citi
zsns Of this District. Negro suffrage alone
seems not to satisfy Radical Congressman,
but the offices must be- held and enjoyed by
the African. Senator johnson alluded to the
fact that during the impeachment trial no
colored people had been admitted to the gal
leries, and asked Mr.. Sumner why be had
not given some OF his tickets to his colorcd
friends. Mr. Sumner did not deign an an
swer-could not answer-and lodged by say
ing, "lct Us have the question" The result
Of the negro equality doctrine was foreshad-
owed in Warrenton, Virginia, on Saturday
last when one of its apostles by the name OF
Tucker, carpet bag resident of Alexandria,
addressed the negroes, and urged them to work
for no man who would not recognize full So
cial equality, admitting them to the domestic
circle and family board. The address SO in
ccnsed the soldiers at Warrenton that they
made an assault upon him. and he sarely cs-
caped with his lie. He had to be escorted
from the hotel to the depot by the officers OF
tho post. TO protect him from Inc maddenel
soldiers. The citizens took no part in the at
fray. The result has been that the negroes
have left their employers, and are now IDLE
and living on the Bnreau: One gentleman
who is repairing the buildings which were
DESTROYED during the war at the White Sui
phur Springs, had fifty freedmen employed a
good wages. On Saturday they notified hir
;bat thcy had to attend n Bureau meeting II
Warrenton, and since then they have refused
to work, except on the terms recommendef
BY their friend Tucker. Perhaps the tax'pay
ers will be content to support these negroes
in idleness until they secure social equality II
Virginia, without reference to the Reputation
Of such equality in the Northern States.

THEMAN ON HORSEBACK CoMEs-The lead
ing editorial in the New York Tribune of Fri.
day is as follows:
We have assurances from Washington that
General Grant finds it not inconsistent with
his duty as soldier 10 announce it as his
opinion that the only hope for the peace Of
the country is the success of the pending i'm
peachment trial. He feels that national Sc
curity demands the removal of the President
If the trial should fail, the people can only
expect more assumptions of power, aud
more determined resistance to law. When
the General of our armies entertains this con
viction therei is no room for doubt as to the duty
# the Senate. The loyal nation demands
the Presidents removal.
When Grant gets in, Congress will be
dwarfed to registering office. His DEGREES
will be issued first, and made laws afterwards

A PRoposED Two-sroRY STREET.-A Bill
for tunneing Broadway, in New York city,
has passed one branch of the State Legisla-
ture. The plan proposes not simply to tun.
mel Broadway, but to take up the whole
width-carriage- way, sidewalks and toa depth
of fifteen or twenty fees; then it is to be re-
constructed by building roof on the level Of
the present street, and making q basement
story for second Broadway under the pres
ent one, through which six rail roads are to
be carried the traffic of the present street to
be carried on upon the roof of the street be-
low. This stupendous plan, it is said, can
not possibly be completed in less than ten
wears, and will cost at least ten millions OF
dollars per mile. New York is naturally
very much excited over the scheme. 1t is
probably tmpracticable.

his wife into q red hot furnace, where she
perished amid horrible sufferings. The con-
