Negro Equality.

Do the Mongrels imagine they
can say to the tempest tossed
waves Of agitation on the negro
question, Thus far shalt thou
go, and no farther ?' If so, they
are mistaken. Give the negroes
unlimited political privileges, put
the ballot into their hands. seat
them in the jury box and upon
the bench, send them abroad to
represent the nation, and then
halt at that point if you can.
Already the current of fanaticism
lis beginning to undermine the
social system, and the inky
stream wash in upon the platform
hitherto appropriated exclusively
to the whites. In Washington
the City Council have passed an
ordinance imposing fine upon
the proprietor of any place of
amusement, who will refuse a
negro admittance to those parts
of his house set apart for white
people, and a movement is on
foot to revoke the license of any
hotel, the proprietor of which
makes any distinction on account
of race or color, in providing for
the accommodation of his guests.
This is the legitimate outcrop-
ping of the negro equality mania.
Those who started the ball are
now compelled to keep it in
motion by all the means in their
power. They cannot pause, or
it will overrun aud crush them.
The negro must not only vote,
but he must eat at the same table
at the hotel, sleep in the same
room, and crowd out white ladies
and gentlemen at the theatre and
the opera. This is the present
demand Of the negro agitators.
What will follow? Still greater
equality; admission to the par
lors of white men, and full and
entire equality in all the social
arrangement of society. If men
object they will be deprived of
their POLITICAL rights, or fined
and imprisoned. This may be
thought a fancy sketch. Not so.
The Mongrel party has acted
with as great disregard of right,
justice and morality in the past,
and in the future they will use
any and all means to hold fast to
the reins of authority. There is
danger in negro equality doc
trines, and white men should
defeat the party which promul-
gates them. =

Decision ia the Cohen Tobacco Case---Rail-
road Accident
NEW YORK, July 24.-The Cohen
tobacco case, i'm which the defendants
were charged with violation Of the
revenue laws. was decided to-day.
The Commissioner ordered their dis
charge, holding that a. they had Of
fered tobacco for sale, which they had
purchased at an United States Mar
Shars sale, with the prOviSO that no
further stamp would be- required, the
United States could not enforce a tax
against venderS, which officials had
waived. on the charge Of having uu-
stamped packages Of tobacco. The
Commissioner held that the fact Of
having such was not criminal, but
that il was incumbent upon infOrmerS
10 prove that such had actually been
offered for sale, and they were dis
charged on this count. This case has
attracted considerable attention.
Ii is stated that a freight train ran
into a passenger train near the depot
in Jersey City, last Wednesday, the
cabOOse 0f the former being smashed,
and two men fatally injured. The
facts of the affair are difficult to OBJ
tain.
The Cuban patriots, mostly Irish
men and ex-COnfederateS, have paid
ten dollars each, this morning, and
dispersed.
The shipment Of specie to Havana
on Thursday was only 81, ,2l0, and not

anu
CHARLESTON, July 24.-Much ex-
citement prevails among the two
wings Of the Republican party here.
DR.. Mockev, the late collector, leads the
native wing which includes the mass
Of the negro voters. Senator Sawyer,
Congressman Bowen and Gould
Clark, the newly appointed collector
in the place Of MOckey, lead the north
ern element. Tho removal of MOckey
has intensified the bitterness between
the two factions, and On Wednesday
last Clark called on MOckey, and pre-
senting his commission, demanded
instant possession of the Collectors
office. but MOckey refused to vacate
until he had taken inventories Of the
public property and received a RECEIPT
from Clark therefor, but promised to
transfer-On the Dist inst. Clark in
sisted upon an immediate sur
render, which being refused,
he entered Mockey's Office and at
tempted to act as Collector, whereupOn
he vas fOrciple elected by MOckey's
subOrdinates. Yesterday MOckey and
the other Custom House officers were
arrested at the instance of Clark on
the charge of assault and re-
Sisting an officer of the Rev
enue," and were bound over to an
sWer before the United States Com
missioner on Monday. During the
hearing of the case Clark, with
posse Of thirty men, forced his way
into the Custom House and took pos
session, which he still retains. The
partisans of Clark attempted to seren-
ade Messrs. Sawyer and Bowen last
night, but the negroes arrived in
numbers and prevented the serenade,
charging the procession and capturing
its flag, which they carried in triumph
To MOckey at his residence.

Unprecedented Rise in a Western
River.


Oauawka, III. July IA Correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune.l
Henderson county was visited on
Monday night, the 18th inst. by one
of the heaviest rain storms ever
witnessed in this portion of the State.
From about ten o'clock pm. until
after daylight Tuesday morning there
was an almost incessant deluge. Dur
ing Yesterday the effect became visi-
Bile in the unprecedented rise of Hen
derson river, which reached q height
beyond the recollection of the DIGEST
inhabitant. The rapldity with which
the water rose was So great as to take
farmers along the Henderson valley
completely by surprise, and the result
was Witnessed yesterday and to-day
in the carrying down the river of inn
mense quantities of wheat and rye,
which had been put in shQekon Satur2
day and Monday: Thousands of acres
OF corn, oats and grass are literally
swept away, while the destruction to
fences is without precedent, The
occupants of many heuses in the
hGttdms, beyond points ever reached
by the floods before, were compelled
to evacuate in boats sent to theif aid,
Oraon such temporary RATS as could be
constructed in the short time allowed.
No loss of human life Is yet reported,
though there were doubtless, some
narrow escapes. The loss in stock,
particularly calves, sheep and hogs, Is
very large. Several drowned horses
and cows we've seen floating down the
Henderson to-day. The damage to
the farming interests will aggregate
thousands Of dollars, and, in many
instances, renters viii lose their ali.
We are almost entirely cut off from
the surrounding country, and are not
yet fully advised as to the extent Of
the storm. The waters are slowly re-.
ceding to-day, though IL is still rain
ing at intervals.
