EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW" is
the cry of the Radicals; and it is up
OH this pretext tearing up the old con-
stitution of the fathers of the Repub-
lie and robbing the States of their re-
served rights, in order to give the
negroes the ballot. A cotemporary
gives the following as illustrating
their sincerity:
There are ten thousand white citizens
of the United States in the little Rad
ical State of Rhode Island disfran-
chised, because they do not own real
estate worth $134, or which rents for
seven dollars year. This restriction
is limited to foreigners, as all native
born citizens vote who pay an annual
tax of one dollar. Agassiz, Carl Schurz
| or Seigel could not vote in Rhode Is
land unless they owned patch of
ground, while the most ignorant plan
tation negro from the rice swamps of
South Carolina can "plump his bal
| lot" if he pays, or what is more likely
somebody else pays, his poll tax of a
hundred pennies. Suppose those ten
thousand disfranchised citizens were
negroes what terrible row would be
raised in Congress, and how quickly
q law would be passed, imposing PEN
alties on election officers for refusing
to take their votes. But then you see
they are only white men. That m axes
all the difference in the world.

The following which we copy from
a Radicsf exchange is pretty good and
altogether hneE The people every
where and of all parties are becoming
icompletely disgusted with the doings
of the Radical rump, which has done
little else during the past six months
but increase the powers of the privi-
legged orders and add to the oppression
of the people:
If Congress can do the COUNT any
favor it can best do it by adjourning-
and adjourn it ought TO. There is
nothing new that is useful can-de,
and it must be confessed it is very
little that is valuable that 1t has done.
The intense agony that. Congressmeni
have. endured ON the tariff and the
wretehed .botch they have made of it,
lsentitles them to a cessation of labor
and hostiliiies. In all essential things
Congress has failed.to meet the just
and reasonable. expectations of the
people. The, people want and are en-
titled TO reduction Of taxation, and
| a relief from the burdens they have
1 been bearing. Instead OF wiping out
the income tax and tuIningaont the
army of -gatherers and obhterating
the espionage that the people have
endured so long, the tax has been re-
tained,. modified just enough to keep
] in office the army of office-holders
who eat up more money than they
make for the government: Schenck' s
+" little tariff that is the result OF the
interIninable wrangle ON this subject
/ is of no sort of benefit to the country,
and viii likely prove greater outrage
than The old regime. Indeed it seems
quite possible if nothing at all had
been attempted or had been done this
session the country would be better
off for it. Let Congress adjourn al
once without waiting for the appoint
ed day, July 18th, and the country
will rejoice. There are now a thou
sand bills Of all sorts and kinds. fol
various shemes and purposes on the
Speakers table. What.can Congress
do with them? The only creditable
thing it can do is to do nothing. and
say it will do nothing. The. people
are tired of it, and the longer it at
tempts to do anything the greater the
confusion and muddle. The people
cry out to Congress to adjourn. 1
there is any sense or wisdom in thi
body it viii respond favorably.

cold blooded murder, committed at p

In the evening Thomas Day, it was
said, had dispute with Richard u
Tong, in Ackerson's saloon. Tong,
after few words, rumor said, took
aSbilliasd cue and hit Day "a heavy
blow in the back. Some by-standers
interfered and prevented any further
ftiietHFbaHee, when Day left the saio6n:
in the street he was heard to mutter
few threats and said, sSf'fI fix him
IF, L catch him alone. /. Three officers
were iln the neigh boThood, and having
heard of the disturbance, kept a con-
stapt watch over the parties, Day
left the saloon and Tong approached
him. AscIhe officers drew near they
/ separated Tong went into Grangers
saloon and leaned near the end of the
counter where he had a short conver-
sation with Granger. Day came in,
boiight two cigars, and stood few
moments beside Tong. Without any
! words heithen dreWa knife, reached
over and stabbed Tong below the left
ear, seYering the jugular vein. Draw
ing back his hand he made another
/ aftemptto stab Tong iii the breast.
! The latter raisediis hand and received
the. blow in one OF hisJ fingers. Day
rushed out across the street into Mar
/ tin Flahertey's saloon. Patrolmen
4 Holm, Harnne1 and Abbot immedi-
lately pursued the fugitive, and after a
short struggle captured him. He
asked why he, was arrested and was
told that it was all right. Tong fell
on the counter, bystander supported
i him few moments and then let him
! down easily on the floor where he lay
until noon yesterday. - s
The neighborhood i'll which the
murder was committed was one OF
the worst in the city. Drinking
i houses and houses of iA-fame abound
i there, The news of the murder spread
from grocery to. GROCERY, and during
yesterday morning hundreds of per-
sons surrounded Granger's saloon and
filled the bar room. Abandoned wo-
men came in numbers to gaze al the
|, corpse and went eff in a passing mood
, of Sadness. Tong's former comrades
gathered agound the bleeding body
and for a moment forgot theil
,thoughtless pursuits. The body bled
profusely. 1t, was, moved from thu
bar, where it fell, to the middle of the

t floor, the pale face thrown back, tn,

it was taken to Howland's for inter
ment. Hundreds of men, women ant
children crowded around the dea'

,c THE history of the present session

done anything for the commerce,
shipping or labor of the country has
not passed or. amended any of the
laws for the settlement of the Indians,
has not passed the funding bill has
not amended the currency acts, has
not done anything for the resumption
of specie payments, has not settled
the difficulties with Canada respecting
reciprocity, or with San Domingo
and st. Thomas respecting pending
treaties. iIthas however, onsted half
a dozen Democratic members of Con-
gress duly elected by the people; has
kept up foreign and domestic taxes
to the Utmost has re-admitted the
States of Texas and Mississippi in or
der to getmore votes for bad jobs,
but has again kept out Georgia, with
two Senators, who were Georgians.
but who could not he brlhed or oosXed
to do mean or bad action. If it
takes five and quarter months to do
and omit these things, what may be
expected by the time the session has
extended to July or August.
