REPRESENTING Born RACES. Mr..
Mosely is Senator of Virginia, and
Dir. Mosely is, in part, of African de-
scent, as he is, in part, ofWhite descent,
Anglo-Saxon or otherwise, as the case
may be. Recently, Mr.. Mosely had
occasion to inform his brother Senators
''that he had some of the best white
bloodin Virginia coursing in his veins"
~ represent both races" said Mr..
Mosely, "for / am Anglo Saxon and
Anglo-African, and I desire to do jus
tice to my kin on both sides" We
do not know when We have seen this
matter Of race more neatly put. If
the doctrines of pro-slavery ethnolo-
gists are freely admitted, Mr.. Mosely's
claim to position and hearing is mere
" strengthened. The white moiety of
him imperiously demands respect, and
against this demand the black half
cannot, upon any principle Of logic, be
pleaded in set-off -Neo York Tribune.

man of iron nerves. who during twenty
years had been shedding human blood as
a minister of human Justice, sank fainting
on the body of the woman he had sac
rificed. M
When he recovered his senses, he found
himself again in the carriage, his eyes
bandaged, and cloak wound round him
to conceal his blood-stained garments.
When his companions perceived that he
was recovered, one Of them handed him Il
purse, saying; "Here is your reward; it
Is double what you were promised, In con-
sidrration of your conscientious conduct"
Their journey back was performed with
the same precautions as the former one :;
and on the fourth dayhe was set free on

SPEAKER BLAINE.

The Rochester Daily Democrat, the
leading Republican paper in Western New
York, contains the following editorial art-
Gle in its issue of the 4th inst:
ga Washington dispatch day or two since
stated that Speaker Blaine has just attained
his fortieth year. We had supposed from his
record of public service and his prominence
in public life, that he was several years older.
As this is Mr.. Blaine's fourth term in the
House he must have been only thirty-two
years old when he was first chosen. He en-
tered Congress at trying and stormy period,
and we can recall ne young man who so rap
idly and so decisively walked to the front
rank of the House and maintained his posi-
ton with such commanding ability. An ac-
tive, earnest, and eloquent debater, he has
crossed words with the most skilled and acute
men in Congress, and always sustained
himself with distinguished credit. He is
not merely talker, but a most energetic
ami industrious worker; and during his SER
vice he has done as much valuable committee
labor as any member on the floor. His prom
inence in the earlier Reconstruction debates
and on the financial questions drew public
attention to him in a remarkable degree, and
his general legislative course earned him
such prestige and confidence that he was adj
vanced to the Speakership, not merely by the
cordial preference of his fellow members, but
by the general voice of the Republican jour-
mails throughout the country, this paper among
the number.
In the Speakers chair Mr.. Blaine has more
than answered the most brilliant anticipations
of his friends. His dispatch of business is
very remarkable. His acquaintance with the
complex and intricate rules Of the House is so
thorough and his knowledge of the whole
range Of parliamentary law so complete and
critical that he never halts or hesitates, and
both sides Of the House accept his decisions
with absolute confidence. A friend writing
from Washington says: AS presiding Off
Ger, Blaine seems to combine the best quail
ties of Banks and Colfax.' Higher praise
could not be given. Mr.. Blaines career in
Congress has not only been intellectually
brilliant, but it has been in the highest degree
honorable and stainless. He appears at all
times to have been actuated by conscien.
tious regard for the public good; he has given
no votes for mere erpedieney, and his name
has never been associated, even for an in
slant, with scheming or jobbing Of any kind
whatever. We hear that he is strongly in
trenched in the regard and confidence of the
people Of Maine. Ii could not be otherwise.
We trust he will long remain in Congress, in
honor to the State that sends him to the Ma
tional Councils"

of the police bill at the last session. And
should such bill be presented again should

the blanketing process is applied by its friends
or enemies; and in this connection l wish to
express to the committee that in entering upon
its duties l earnestly desire to wave all feel

Is II not strange paradox that the princi-

which vitality interest society, should admit
such diversity Of opinion as to measures by
which it should be governed? You hear no
man claim intemperancc as virtue, or aught

claim the abstract right of entire freedom OF
