owner of the rattesnake is liable to damages 10 the

that the boy, having gone into the garden to steal

The Rcvoluiiou Comnlete.

The admission OF MIR. Raves. colored
$ man, as Senator from Mississippi epitomizes
the whole great revolution OF the last decade,
and thus becomes one of the most striking
, events of the time. Mr. Ravels takes place
vacant since jefferson Davis one day, nine
, years ago, stalked proudly and defantly irom
the Senate chamber. 1t has taken ot Cd
deal OF effort to raise the first colored Senator
to his present position. Goiog back no fur
ther than the beginning of the war, we find
first Fremont in Missouri and Phelps in Lou
isiana timdly initiating emancipation, though
promptly overruled by the general govern
ment. At that time the people were prepai-
ed to 90 no further than TO proclaim tne ne
cro u.ho,to,y with Gen. Butler, and thus by
legal subtlety giving s"ai' por'ion VI 'ne
slorao their freedom. Then came the threat
IF emancipation from the President, and f.
naly the famous proclamation of emancipa-
tion of Jan. LIST, 1868. At this stage of affairs
the negro was not citizen and the laws OF
the country gave him no security for his civil
or political rights. Indeed those parts of the
slave territory not in rebellion were excepted
from the operation of the amendment and
slavery existed. Then came In succession the
18th amendment completely abolishing slav
cry, the civil rights bill giving the black mar
the protection of the laws, he 14th amend

Grating to give him political rights, and final
