Negro Equality.

The New York Times (Rad, } declares
that the Fifteenth Amendment, the OBJ
ject of which is the enforcement of the
equality of the whites and blacks, sis
one of the logical results of the war;
The Ohio State Journal (Rad. } says, sit
is the essence of what we. struggled for
during all these years, and that "every
election for nearly ten years has been
fought with this ultimate objective point
in view" So these Radical leaders dis
agree-the one making negro equality a
result of the war, and the other making
it the great object of the war.
The negroes of Washington, at the
recent municipal election, displayed the
logical results of the wal with far greater
clearness than does the Times. "Knock
down the id blue-coated white trash, !"
Lets kill every id Democrat" cried
the negroes; and, suiting the action to
the word, white voters were driven from
the polls, and Others narrowly escaped
murder.
AS to the statement of the Journal
that the object of the war was to put
whites and blacks on an equality, by do
inc away with all distinctions on account
of color we can well believe that to have
animated the leaders But what of the
rank and file? What fraud and decep-
ton they were the victims of while the
leaders were, step by step, conducting
them to the commission of great crime
against civilization Gin. Eng.

New YORK, June 26-The Herald
states positively that Cuban expedi-
ton of about eight hundred men left
this port last night under command OF
Colonel W. A. c Ryan In person, &C
companied by Colonel Currier and Gen
eral Spear, Of Fenian notoriety, and
General Gisacari, Captain Peters and
other officers. The body of men will
be known as the First New York Regi-
ment, and were presented with hand
some flag by the Junta. The rank and
file embarked from Elysisn Fields, Ho-
boken, and from Elm Park, Staten Isl
and, and will be put on board vessel,
presumed to be the Quaker City.

[From the Cincinnati Euquirer.
, The Fifteenth Amendment.

| The Cleveland Leader, tire organ of
Reserve, makes up the issue, for its par
| ty in the coming campaign in this Stata
as follows:
'The campaign in this State will be
made upon the issue Of the fifteenth
amendment, and there is no question
that the next Legislature will be largely
Republican. Every Republican mem
Der of the Legislature will be elected OH
the basis of the amendment, and its rat
ification in this State before the first Of
February next, is as sure as anything
can be-"
This Issue thus squarely made up b3
the Radical party, we presume the De-
mocracy will ;tccept, and thousands OF
conservative Republicans will battle sids
by side with them, to preserve our form
of Government, from this most iufa-
nous attempt at Capitalization. What
is this fifteenth amendment:
1t is not solely intended for tho en-
franchisement of the negro, that is but
a small part Of the scope, and tendency
of the measure. 1t is part and parcel
'of the Radical imperialistic programme
to subvert our Republican, or Democrat
ic, it you please, form of Government,
and establish monarchy in its stead
There is no mistaking this; every step
taken by the Washington Radical jurists
is plainly Indicative of what they intend
to accomplish. There is not particle
of doubt, but the large bondholders Of
this country, backed by their European
brethren of the same class, are using
their immense wealth, to bring about
this end.
1t remains now to be seen whether
there is yet among the people enough of
the sturdy honesty, and love of country,
and its free institutions, to cope with
and thwart the designs of these Infamous
traitors. 1t is our impression when the
time comes, and it is already dawning,
when the people will be called upon to
decide between an ''Imperial' Govern
ment, and a nation of slaves, and the
Government established by Washington
and his compeers, and a nation of free
men, that the work will be short when
once understood and fairly in issue. We
invite the radical revolutionists to the
issue, we hardly think they will be able
to hide their purpose beneath the cloak
of philanthrophy, or the ethiopian dark
ness of Sambo skin. SIR

A Visible Legal Point.

A rural lawyer, whom we shall de-
signate as Squire Jovial, once had an
important case in country court, and
the decision depended entirely on the
way the jury would regard the testimony
of one lady. He lost the case, because
the fair witness swore positively to an
occurrence which she had witnessed at
the distance of several rods, although
there we're several persons who stood
much nearer than she, but saw nothing
whatever of it. The old Squire looked
rather blue when the jury brought in
their verdict, but revenged himself by
rising and telling the court a story Of a
lady he once knew, who was very near
sighted, but always declared her eye
sight to be excellent. Accordingly one
day neighbor stuck darning needle
in the side of barn; and placing her
on the opposite side of the road, asked
her if she could see it. "Oh. yes" re-
Piled the lady, II can see the needle
easy but whar's the barn ?"

The Government of Cuba and

The expense of governing the Island
of Cuba under Spanish rule last year was
S24, 100000 The income was $31 ,000,-
600. This may appear pretty strange,
but let us compare it with Ohio. This
State is but little larger than Cuba, and,
although it has larger population, is
probably not as wealthy. Our expenses
are as follows:
State and County, s2O,OOO,OOO
Federal, 100000
Total, 100000 900
