THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
TRADES UNIONS.
From the n. Y. Herald.


The negro question is coming up in a new
shape 1t will not stay down. 1t threatens
another ''irrepressible conflict" involving
new political elements which have only to
combine in politics to sweep the country.
Fred Douglass, as an American citizen of
African descent, has, through his son,
printer by trade, raised an issue with the
Printers Union at Washington which may
result in arraying all the Trades Unions
of the United States against the admins
tration. OF the order of the Trades
Unions generally, they are close corpora
tions for the protection of the members
of the various trades concerned, and such is
already their power that it is generally a losing
game for the employer or employe who un-
dertakes to resist them. The young Douglass
has tried in several places for admission into
membership with the working printers so
ciety, but has been refused on account of his
color. Superintendent Clapp, of the national
office, regarding this exclusion an unjust
thing, has given Douglass employment with
out the consent of the printers union directly
concerned, and hence the new issue raised or
about to be raised between the printers and
Trades Unions generally and the administra-
ton on ''the everlasting Niger
Our volunteer correspondent on the subject
saws that an article was recently published in
the Cincinnati Gdzette, the evident intention
of which sis to carry this matter into the halls
of Congress-" and ''to array the dominant
political party against all trades organiza-
tions." If this be true, single campaign will
be apt to demolish the dominant party; for in
such a contest these Trades Unions can pro-
badly bring, in response to the first long roll
of the drum, half a million of voters to the
polls, ignoring all other political distinctions.
The general objection advanced to the admis-
sion of negroes into these Trade Unions is
that the introduction of the black man will
demoralize the societies and break them up.
Into the philosophy of this proposition we
care not to enter. 1t is sufficient for our pre-
sent purpose that the prejudice of color, if
you please, which has operated against young
Douglass in the printers unions pervades all
the Trades Unions of the land, hardly except
ing Boston.
How, then, is the administration to bridge
over this difficulty? General Grant, in his
appointment of colored men as ambassadors
to foreign governments, as assessors of the
internal revenue, as postmasters etc., has
fully committed his administration to the doc
trine of equal rights" to white men and
black men in the Government service. The
employment of the printer Douglass in the
Government Office is perfectly consistent with
these other appointments. He could not be
denied under the general rule adopted. Here
we are reminded of the sagacious views OF
Abraham Lincoln touching the impending
conflict lie thought that the only way 10

CRAIG VS.. SPRAGUE.

From the \. y. World
The latest case Of social unhappiness in Chi
cago-that of Craig and Sprague-contains
much less than the usual allowance of the
muck that perfumes most of the breach of
promise and divorce cases of that lively town,
and much more of genuine matter alike for
mirth and for meditation. There was, to be
sure, a little episodical evidence as to how the
plaintiff had borne child to some person or
persons to the jury and to Sprague unknown.
But this, though it would lend piquant pru-
rency to suit in New York, is tame and
trivial scandal for Chicago. The only wonder
is that defendant of Chicago should have
hesitated to fulfil his promise by reason of an
occurrence which the newspapers of Chicago
would lead us to believe was rather in than
out of the routine of procedure, particularly
as the tangible result of the plaintiffs indis-
cretion could not be a burden upon the de-
fendant. AS its fond mother, according to
Sprague, congratulated herself, ''it was god
send the child was dead"
The real peculiarity of the case-or, rather,
the puzzling characteristic of large class of
cases-is that it shows how two people of very
dissimilar habits and stations in life may
cherish a very genuine affection for each
other. 1t is only few days since an old
scandal has been revived in the newspapers,
telling how the great mind of Alexander
Hamilton had been completely subjected to
the wiles of woman whose letters to him
showed her to be fool by nature and a Ounce
by cultivation, but of whom his letters showed
him to be passionately, if ephemerally, fond
In the present case. it is tolerably intelli-
gent woman who has, or who processes, to
yearn unutterably after an intolerably unintel-
igent man. Cophetua wooed beggar- maid,
but Cophetua probably did not know how to
write, or if he did, itwould seem that his affec-
tion can never have survived the perusal of the
beggar-maid's letters. Here is a school-teacher
whose ardor is sufficient to withstand speci-
mems of letter-writing crowded with the sort
of ignorance which it was her daily duty to be
disgusted and Mortified at, and the like of
which would have insured trouncing to the
youngest and dullest of her pupils. To be
sure, it is possible that her affections were
set upon Spragues considerable moneys and
not upon his inconsiderable self But it is
much more credible that she really loved the
man than that she could be capable of the sus-
tanned and consummate hypocrisy of which, if
we discredit the genuineness of her passion,
we must suppose the letters to have been the
product The gushing stanzas wherein she
celebrates the clark and earnest eye" of
Sprague read drolly in the light of the auto
graphic statement of Sprague that that organ
was afflicted with ''arisiplace,' and that II
cannot see one Bit out of my l..
The conclusion from all this is, that Cupid
is not capable to be dissected nor even wisely
discussed, and practically that love matters
cannot be adjudicated otherwise than absurdly
in the courts of Chicago, or even in those of
New York.

CUBA AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE.
From the ~ Y World

From the NJ Y. World.
Let u.s. in view of the recent stirring news
from Cuba, admit, for the sake of argument
all that is claimed by the most sanguine
friends of Cuban independence Let us con-
cede that the prospects of the revolutionlsts
are encouraging; that the oppressive Spanish
yoke will soon be broken and thrown off; that
a republican government will be formed by
fhe Cubans and successfully administered;
that the United States will welcome them into
the family of nations, will faithfully respect
ats independence, and will not attempt to gain
a selfish advantage by its annexation to this
country. This is the rose-colored theory of
the ardent and demonstrative friends of the
Dubans; and just this once, for the sake of
argument, let us concede it all, and hold the
friends of Cuban independence to the logical
consequences of their hopes and expectations.
We need not say that we have not shared
Eheir sanguine hopes. We have had misgiv-
lngs as TO the capacity of the people of the
island to initiate successfully our republican
nstitutions-misgiving founded on the
Rnarchical condition of the Spanish-American
republics upon this continent during the fifty
years of their independence. But we will
waive all this; we will reason on the affairs of
5he island as if its inhabitants were descended
From the same strong sef-governing Anglo
Saxon stock as the citizens of the United
States, as if there could be no reasonable
doubt of their capacity, if once freed from
Spanish misrule, to found and uphold repub-
3ican institutions. We will go further; we
Rvow our fervent wishes that our misgivings
may prove unfounded that the people of
Cuba may establish their Independence and
that they may justify the belief of
their friends in their capacity for self-govern-
ment as an independent community-a point
on which we should have no shadow of a
doubt, if they We're of the same race, lineage
and training as the people of the United
States.
A majority of the most jealous promoters
of Cuban independence in this country are
Republicans; and we wish to point out to
them how completely they renounce the most
cherished principles of their party when they
advocate the cause of the Cubans. If Cuba
were annexed to this country it would be
merely one State in the Federal Union, and
The idea of its independence or sovereignty
would be secuted and scoffed at by the whole
Republican party. AS the friends of Cuba dc
not desire its annexation, as they wish it *

cidedly dull for several days past, chiefly
for the reason that neighboring farmers have
been busily engaged securing their crops.
and great many of our residents have been
assisting them.
A young German stone mason bearing
the Milesian surname of Barney and the un-
mistakably Teutonic Christian appellation OF
Fogle, performed somnambulistic gymnas-
tic feat, one night last week, which deserves
to be recorded. The young man in ques-
ton is a soiourner at the Mansion House,
and whether his digestive apparatus was in
bad order, on the night liz question, am
not prepared to say, but certain it is that he
arose in his sleep and climbed out of sec
ond story window OF the sleeping apartment
adjoining his own. When suspended, like
Mahomet's coffin, 'twixt heaven and earth,
he awoke, and his grasp on the window sill
not being tenacious enough to hold him up
until help arrived, he was compelled to
dron. From the window to terra JirnG is a
distance of about twelve feet, but beyond
n few severe bruises he fortunately escaped
injury.

Of age. met with quite severe accident. In

Aver spent some weeks at Dresden. in con-
ference with the chemists of Central Europe,
where he was heralded as the inventor of the
world renowned medicines that bear his
name, and considered one of the American
celebrities. While riding, one day, his open
carriage fell in with the cortege of the King
of Saxony, on a drive from the review. The
Doctor soon became the chief attraction and
received the marked attention of the people,
who were even more demonstrative in their
courtesies to him than to the King himself
whom they see so constantly. King John +,
observing this wrapped his military cloak
around him and Teclined upon his seat,
while our great American medicine man did
the honors for the royal retinue, graciously
bowling, hat in hand, on every side, until
wearied by his excessive condescension to
this old monarch's people.
