THE SOCIAL EQUALITY QUESTION
Negroes visit the Academy Of Music

Close upon the passage by the Senate, of the
civil rights BILL two colored men, presuming upon
the accepted idea with their class, that man
keeping hotel. theater or other licensed place
Of resort, is compelled to entertain them, provi-
ded they pay like white men, last night obtained
seats in the parquette of the Academy of Music,
and remained there undiscovered until the inter-
mission, AZ which time the usher was informed of
the fact by gentleman who recognized bright
mulatto belonging to the Cassnsve family, of
which there are three brothers in this city, but
who could not designate which one it was. After
the intermission they were searched for over the
house but could not be seen. .-,
Neither the proprietor of the Academy nor
Treasurer Kittredge was apprised Of the pres.
ence of colored men at the thester until after
the performance, and therefore were not enabled
to enforce the rules of the house. That the
Casanave present should have purchased his
ticket personally at the box office Is hardly prob.
able, for not one Of the brothers is light enough
IN complexion to deceive the most inexperienced
as to his race. The Casansve alluded to is prob.
ably the second of the brothers, and known as St.
Felix Cassnave, who was defeated for the office
of street commissioner on the Republican tickle,
at the last election. The other colored man was
not known.

GEN. JACKSON AND THE OLD UNITED STATE
BANK.-A correspondent of the Boston Traveller
relates the following incident in connection with
Gen. Jackson's opposition to the old United States
Bank. The facts in the case of the interview be-
tween Gen. jackson and David Henshsw are
these, as related by Mr.. Henshaw himself: The
Wing committee had so far succeeded with Gen.
jackson that there was an implied If not actual
promise to yield to their request in regard to the
United States Bank. This coming to the ears of
Mr.. Henshaw, that gentlemen determined to cir
cumvent them. Knowing that Gen. Jackson was
to leave for New York the following morn
ing, he called at his hotel after midnight.
Sending mp his card by the servant. he was in
formed that Gen. Jackson was about retiring.
But this did not deter him from seeking an inter-
view, and the servant was obliged to conduct him
to the generals room. Entering, he found the
general seated on the edge of the bed, with his
pipe in his mouth. General" said Mr.. Hen
shaw, " do you remember the promise you made ~
Yes, by the eternal, do" was the reply.
" Good night, general, and a safe return TO Wash
ington," was the only remark made By Mr.. Hen
shaw. He knew that the old mans oath meant
all. David Henshaw by bis own powerful will had
overcome and conquered the greatest political
faction Massachusetts, ever knew.
