A CoIored Clergyman on Social Equality.
Rev. Mr.. Butler, n colored minister,
addressed tho Kentucky Colored Con-

rs follows
"The future Of this country depends,
not so much on what party is in power,
as it does on the removal Of oil disabili-
ties /; they weigh downthc people. Then,
and not till then, will the country have
peace. We don't ask for social equality.

present, allow me to say that the prac-
tice of social equality has not been on
our side, but ON the part OF the whites,
who, in their dark and devious ways,
were not always able, let us charitably
suppose, to tell black from white. This

speech at the close of q fair in North

"I have q man in my eye who, when
Richmond fell, had due him but $50;
he rented a farm tor 500, and bough,
a mule for $500, and the first year he
made ST, 800, hiring no other labor than
was necessary for cutting, threshing and
getting up his wheat. He now pays
$1,000 for one hundred acres, and has
sold So, o worth of wheat, having al
most paid his rent in vegetables, etc,

and So, 500. Then for young men to go
about with long faces, complaining o.
having nothing to do! When Richmond
fell, Mr.. President, l was fifty years old,

larry, and made a good crop and fed my
family. And then for young men to
say they cant work. it's a shame

modore's stables:
The carriage room is sufficiently large
for the exercising Of the horses, and a
ring properly bedded is arranged for
that purpose. The room is paved with
small cobble-stone, and kept very clean,
while IL is otherwise fitted up with elab-
crate care and with an eye to con-
v%cnience. The stable is in n basement
of from the carriage room, and appears
to be we'll arranged, though somewhat
wanting in light. 1t has four large box
stalls and FIVE open ones, if VIC remem-
Der rightly. Mountain Boy was the
first horse shown to US. He was blank
cted and stood knee deep in straw, but
tho blanket was soon removed, and
before us was the horse that money
could scarcely buy. He looked perfcc-
ton, and appeared as quiet rs the most
timid could desire. We do not wonder
that the Commodore values him so
highly. Ho is certainly q remarkable
horse, and may next year, with proper
handling, mark below 2:l74. Next to
him stood his road.mate, a full sister.
She is the same color and size, is ono
year younger, and We arc informed by
the groom could trot in 2:25. They
must mako q glorious road pair. On
the opposite Of the allcy-way were Bos-
ton Girl and the Commodore's old.timc
favorite, Post Boy. Although nineteen
years old, he appeared as full Of play as
any horse in the stable, and looked as
a six year old. The groom was eloquent
in giving us an account Of his perform

A KENTUCKY TRAcEDY.-Thc Bards

SN
town (Ky.) correspondent of the Louis.
Vile Courier sends the following:
On Sunday night, 18th, a party OF
fifteen men, duly armed and mounted,
proceeded through the alleys to the Jail
in this place, and took therefrom q ne
gro man who had been committed for a
heinous crime perpctrated upon a little
white girl only ten years Of age. They
proceeded to the Jail and aroused the
%jailer, Mr.. Coyle, by knocking on the
door and telling him they had a prisoner
to iucarcerate for theft, and the %jailcr,
like an honest man that he is, not think
ing anything of Lynch, opened the iron
door, when four men entered, and level
ling some "persuaders" OF his head,
made him produce the negro, whose
name is Jugo Geoghegan. They took
him to the bridge over the Beech Fork,
one mile from town, and making him
stand upon the sbutmcnt, shot him, and
his body was precipitated n distance Of
forty feet, on the rocks below, where he
was found this morning, dead of course.
An inquest was held to-day, and a YER

above facts. The party made no noise
whatever, and the good citizens knew

The undersigned having entered into the
manufacture Of an extra quality Of Boot Polish,
and finding that its superior qualities are so
generally appreciated by all who have used
1t, has resolved to enter into its manufacture
on very large scale, and with that end in
view has provided himself with the most ap-
proved machinery and such facilities as will
enable him to manufacture this superior arti-
ole 70 the very best advantage, and with a
view Of giving the public the benefit of i'm
proved facilities, has resolved to reduce the
price to the very lowest figure that can be
afforded for SO good an article.
Those dealers who have bought at former
prices will please drop line by mail, stating
what amount they have on hand, and de-
duotion will be made to correspond with pre-
sent reduced prices. This blaoking we intend
(like our celebrated Electric sosp) shall be
superior to any other manufacture.
Those who wish to secure q brilliant and
lasting polish. are advised to try the famous
Dobbins Electric Boot Polish, warranted supe-
rior to all others.
Manufactured only by J. IL. ID DObbins,

UAway with Them ~

TRULY there is but one step from the Capitol
to the Tarpeian Rock-but one slight change
from the demigod to the demagogue. Bat
yesterday and Seymour might have stood
against the world, so far as Democracy was
concerned. To-day the World, with great
prospects Of success, stands against him.
With the rise of Tuesdays sun all of the
faithful went forth to do homage to Seymour
and Blair; but Wednesday found the 'idols
broken in the Temple of Baal." Nowhere in
all the political history of this or any other
land do we see a case of such utter demoralza-
tion, such fearful fleeing away from Judgment,
as is evinced by the Democratic party over
the result of the October elections.
No two of them stand steadfast together. They
fly as they fled at Appomattox; they seek
refuge in every artifce or even abandonment
Of all show Of courage or steadfastness. We
had said before that the Democracy desired
only power; that they sought only for the
plunder OF Office. This is proved to-day by
their proposed desertion Of the very men whom
they have almost deifed as patriots and states
men. But all attempt at change comes too
late, and will only make the death-bed
hideous, without prolonging the patients life.

A New Theatre on broad Street.

THERE has been consid arable talk OF late about
the erection of new theatre on Broad street, to
be placed under the management of Miss Laura
Keene. The idea mas generally been received
with much favor. and, indeed, the only argu-
ment used against it has been that IL will not
pay. This of course can only be proved by ex
perience. The house will certainly be built, and
we think that IL will pay. The proposed theatre
is to be of moderate size. SO that every person In
the audience can hear ana see all that tran spires
on the stage without difficulty. 1t Is to be
cbaste and elegant in It's decorations, comfort
able. and is to be devoted to the best style of
performances by the best stock company that
can be got together. With regard TO Miss Laura
Keene's ability and taste as manager there
can be but one opinion; and ifany one can. she
will make the enterprise success.
1t Is O mistake to suppose that we have too
many theatres in Philadelphia already. IN

support twice the number of places of amuse-
ment that we have at present and II the enter
tainments are first class, they will be supported

ought not TO be used az an argument against
building another place for dramatic entertain
ments The reasons for the failure of the Ones
nut are numerous, and not the least of
them is that the auditorium is barnlike and
uncomfortable. the decorations are In the wors,
possible taste, and the whole arrangement OF
the interior makes IL an eyesore to every person
who may be at all iastidious about harmony
proportion, and other architectural niceties.
We never go to the Chestnut but that we spend
greater portion OF the evening In thinking
how we would like to tear out the whole interior
OF the building and construct IL over again on a
better model. The pvoscenium is the ueles'
contrivance of the kind we have ever seen. and

An Assassin for vice-President.

An Assassin for Vice-President.
THE degradation and desperation to which Mr..
Frank p. Blair was reduced by the elections
of Tuesday can be good excuse for a great
deal of rancor on his part. He could have
denounced our party with fine effect, he could
have been excused indulgipg in oaths and
cursing over even little too much of that
article bearing the name of a royal family Of
France; but there are some lengths which
even the certainty of humiliating defeat will
not allow a man to go. Into one of these
extremes Mr.. Blair went. Last night in ST..
Louis he countenanced the assassination of
Gencral Grant in case Of his election.
In his speech he said, 'a military Dictatorship
would be established and Grant 0ould ncyer leave
tie Presidential mansion alice." Now this may
have two meanings attached to it. 1t may
mean that Grant will remove there for life,
and that by this meaning he will never leave
the Presidential chair, or else it may mean
that Grant must be removed by death, and
that evidently not from natural causes. We
care not which Interpretation is put upon
this atrocious statement by the reader,
the fact that Mr.. Blair should utter
sentiment capable of such a
double meaning is enough for the American
people. lie knew when he uttered that infa-
nous sentence that there were men In the
ranks of the Democracy who would oonstrue
it to mean "assassinate," and would, in all
probability, be willing instruments. He knew
this, and yet he gave them color for such a
plan. He lent it his countenance, and while
he may seek to explain away his sentiments
by sybelline arrangement of his words, he
cannot free himself from the fearful responsi-
bility which he has assumed. And to that
responsibility the people will hold him to a
strict account.

vouching for was one John 0'Bnen. Yester-
day o. Brien swore that he never saw or knew
Watson, and that he was not vouched for at
all. 1t is certainly a coincidence worthy OF
notice, and one which enables US to judge OF
the fitness of Mr.. Thompson to be Chief Jus
tice, that the very case thus so thoroughly ex-
posed was the one in which he refused the
rule prayed for, saying that there was no
fraud
