PREJUp1cE AGAINST CoroR The pre-
iudice against color has assumed new and
striking phase. Information has been re-
ceived at Washington from Hayti to the
effect that the government and people Of
that island are highly indignant at the ap-
pointment Of negro to represent the gov
ernment of the United States at that court.
1t appears that the al aiistoontic negroes Of
Hayti look down with contempt upon their
sable brethren in this country. aud regard
the action of our government in appoint
ing negro minister as, to say the least, q
sighting of them if not an insult. The
feeling in Hayti on this subject seems to
be based upon the idea thata negro was
given the place because white man could
not he found who would take it. All the
other nations, they say, had white men ac-
credited to their courts, with the exception
of Hayti and Liberia, both negro govern
ments, and nobody but negroes would take
these places, ..........

1 PAYMENT OF THE NATIONAL DEBT The
important announcement comes from
Washington that the secretary of the treas
ury has determined TO commence the pay
ment Of the national debt, by canceling IN
effect the five-twcnty bonds he is now pur-
chasing u.H. NO H''.
There is but one honest and expedient
way of paying these bonds, They should
be redeemed in the lawful money of the
government rs fast as the business of the
country demands an increase of circulation
and as much faster as the people can pay
without extortionate taxation.
But since the people have declined to
accommodate themselves by paying the
bonds in this way ii Ia better that they
should be paid as Boutwell, proposes in
gold-than that they should remain per-
petual'burden ON the prosperity of the ma
ton. Every dollar of the bonds cancelled,
even when Cancelled by an over-payment in
coin, is so much weight lifted from the
necksof the people.
But we have no faith in any intention Of
the present administration TO materially re-
duce the debt. Congress will not permit it.
The bond-holders will not permit it. The
money-power of the east will not permit it.
Imperialism will not permit it, The profits
Of eastern capital and the power Of the par
ty ruling over us depends upon the perma-
nent existence Of the debt, and the pre-
servation of that system ofunequal taxation
which pertains to it.
