ave are pleased to hear that the negroes OF
Richmond who desired to vote the walker TICKET
citizens. 1t would be bad sign for the southern
freedmen if they were NIL to be forced :" vote one
was the ease In the late election NJ WASH
ington. '-NetC York Times.
We regret that at least the fair Inference
from this paragraph is not entirely sustained
bv the facts. The colorcd men who pro-
claimed themselves for WALKER voted III
spite of threats of the most feroclous cha
racter. They were not assured of safety
by any expression of feeling or intention on
the part of the negroes who favored WELLS
or of the Leagues. We regret, therefore, TO
saw that the information given the Times is
inaccurate. A more arbitrary and ruthless
spirit than that displayed here by the ne
groes towards I'LL who were not disposed to
90 with them we have never known. The
colored WALKER men who voted that ticket
did SO with stout hearts and determined
spirit. They took their lives in their hand,
as it were, and defed the danger.
The calamity at the colored barbecue on
Friday last was used to stimulate the hec-
toring spirit Of the WELLS negroes, and
sharpen the tyranny of the leagues. Hypo-
critics and knaves sought to impress the su-
perstitious with the idea that the Supreme
Being favored them and frowned upon the
Conservatives, and devoted to wrath those
colored men who deserted the main body OF
their race and voted for WALKER. A device
so atrocious could be resorted to by none
but caitiff. 1t was not without its effect
increased intimidation for those colored men
who were inclined to disobey the mandates
of the leagues. Many were beyond ques-
ton prevailed on to forego determination
previously taken; but this only increased
the merit of the independent action of those
who carried out their purpose ofvoting fol-
| WALKER.
However, the power of the leagues has
been broken. Their tyranny has been up
rooted, and we shall have fairer exposition
of the views of cOlored men st future cleo.
tions. A better time is near at hand.

SPRING IN EURoPE.-A letter from Paris,
dated April 20, thus speaks OF the weather
The balmy whiffs of spring, sweet, earthly
smell of violets and fragrant ringing of hya-
cinth bells only four days, one of which for
the races, and since then we have had moth
ing but March blasts and hail showers. The
summer had leaped over spring in frisky
mood, but just as friskily turned back again
Those who unsuspectingly threw off their
velvet casaques, fur boas and quilted rotor
des are now in the hands of DIR. Gargle, very
irate at any mention of rush-green ioulard,
or iris blue and buttercup crepe de chine.
They are counting their warming pans in
stead OF cotillion carabers, their throats are
bound up with flannel and and as stiff as il
under military collar, and cold cream has
invaded faces ON which agues, pain and dyes
created those pecniar lilies and roses which
rise under the touch Of hares paw and the
puff.

HUNTING AT RoME.-A letter from Rome
dated April 10, says:
The hunts were very gay, although many
OF the resident English and American riders
withdrew from the field on account of the
extraordinary manner in which the Italians
transgTessed all rules in their own favor.
There was some peacemaking, however, to-
wards the last of ihe season. Miss Hosmer
resumed her hunting. There were last
hunt and supernumerary hunt, and an ex-
ira ride which was not hunt, but very am
using performance, to which friends of the
subscriber were invited. 1t was held in the
fields at the Porte Furba, and was a sort OF
leaping match. The rails were gradually put
up higher and higher until they were at la st
five feet high; the prize was borne away by
Prince Borghese. There was some very ia r
riding, especially on the part of the ladies' ;
and there were whisperings by that wick cd
portion of our race to which they belong
that the loose rail was frightened by kindly
hand being laid upon it when the Prince
leaped, which was removed when Miss Hos
mer and her English friends made the trial.
However this may be, the prize was shown
about the field, and delivered to Prince Bor-
ghese, whose horse had certainly cleared the
rail. The prize was bonnet of the hunts
mans wife; gigantic structure; a bonnet
OF blue with flaming roses, and a brush by
way OF feather, which did duty as contribu-
tion box, amid the laughter and high enjoy
ment OF all present. This performance lett
the Compagna for the season to shepherds
and grazlers, and the poor red foxes may
may roam in peace for the next six months.

R5vc, the Lass Paciflc Rail.

BIvef the Aast racine AkanAs
BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY.
Rivet the last Pacific rail,
With a silver hammer and golden nail;
For over the hill and oyer the vale
The iron horse is swiftly comlng
Along the prairies wild flowers sweet,
With red lips kiss his flying feet,
Wild eagles his wild scream repeat
His hymn Of praise the bee is humming,
Hail to the day and deed!
Hail 10 the iron steed!
Hail to tine IRON rail!
Hal TO the West, all hail!
Now the rising and setting sun
Shall see the East and West are one
Wherever the steed of steam shall run,
The Union shall be one forever.
State linked with State with iron bands,
Hearts linked with hearts, and bands with hands
Hail to our broau free lakes and lands!
Hail TO our tree landsi
Hail to our free handsl
Hail 10 the gold nail
Hail to the last rail
Over rrairies of gold and green,
Over rivers that loll between,-
Plumed mountains of richest sheen,
The steam horse tolls harder and harder'
Now soaring the wild herds and tiocks,
Now laundering over granite blocks,
Now climbing The steep shelving rocks,
Now up I he Sierra Nevada.
Hail 10 the plains below!
Hail 10 the peaks OF snow!
Hail to the hammers stroke!
Hail to the echoes woke!
From ocean to ocean he raj
Kuus over the mounta n and vale,
Which echo with bl ws on the nail,
Now heard by the lst'ning races.
Hail to the pathway OF nations here!
1t runs to-day through hemisphere,
The good lime coming must now be near.
1t shines on our hope-hghted faces
Hail to the age of steam!
Hail to the iron team!
Hail to cur iron barsl
Hail to our flag of stars!
