An EXPERIMENT AND IT'S REsULTs.-The
Washington Radicals have recently been try
ing an experiment which, both in itself aud
in its results, is a somewhat significant one.
Wishing in some manner to carry out praci-
cally the principles of the equality of the eau
casian and African races, the fundamental
principle of their party existence, they
commenced, in a small way, by discharging a
number of the white men employed in the
Washington fire department substituting for
them negroes. The white men, to their credit
be it said, submitted without any violent de-
monstrations against this great injustice, con-
WINGED, we suppose, that the end would de-
monstrate the falsity of the position held by
the negrophilists And they were right After
q short trial of Sambo's abilities as fireman,
his admirers discovered that although his or
ganization was admirably adapted to bearing
the heat of a Southern sun while picking cot
ton or hoeing corn, and that, although ne
stood the utmost warmth of fires bravely,
that when the occasion demanded that pres
ence of mind, fertility of invention, wealth of
resources and hard head work essential to q
thorough fireman, Cuffee was non est iUs,lt,ls.
Disguised with the results of the trial, the
Republicans gave up the endeavor to lift the
colored men above themselves, and the other
day discharged all the negroes from the fire
department and re-employed the white men.
This is a straw, but its appearance at the very

shocking enough. But still more shocking

parently, out of sheer love of their pure and
unauthorized calumniousness, when it is
seen turning hungry eye to filthy lucre while
vociferating an appeal ''to the friends of

APPROPRIATE EULoGY.-T The Radical pa
pers quote with much gusto from letter
of William Lloyd Garrison, denunciatory
of Seymour and Mandatory of Grant And
who is Garrison? For thirty years he
waged war, as editor of the Boston Liberator,
on the Democracy, on the Union, and on the
Constitution, under this motto: "The Ameri-
can Union, league with He'll; the Consti-
tuition, covenant with Death" 1t must be
confessed that eulogy of the Radical candi-

and eminently appropriate.
