More Annexation

Nova Scotia, or rather the Nova Scotia
Annexation League, insists upon be-
ing taken into the United States,
whether Or no. The League has issuea
a circular which makes it out very ex-
plici,ly that Nova Scotia's interest ls

so clearly that it is to our interest 10
have Nova Scotia. The circular reminds
us of o preacher of one of these sects
which delight in the use Of high flown
language, better described rs "cant,"
who once, at a large meeting, publicly
expelled a back-slidipg member from
the church, closing his remarks with
the sentence, "and now let him 60 forth
and wander among the worlds people"
A wag present, jumped to his feet, and
having obtained permission to give out
a notice. announced in solemn tones that
on such a day at such place there
would be q meeting of the "world's
people, to decide whether they would
receive the fellow just turned cut Of
the church or not. As the preacher
thought the "world's people" had moth

The Tiara and the Lay Crown

The Papal infallibility question, says
the New York Herald, is approaching an
issue rapidly. French ard English ad-
vices by the cable state that the Council
in Rome will adopt the dogma of iufal-
libility by acclamation on Easter Mon
day. To Roman Catholic churchmen it
will be q very proper occasion indeed
for such woIk-the resurrection of the
tiara. To the lay crowns of Europe it
it will be serious, most eventful mo-
ment. We are not surprised, therefore,
to hear that the representatives of the
different thrones now serving in Rome
have resolved not to be present at
the public session of the Council Oh
that day. Can the keys and sword be
reconciled as in the time of PETER
We shall soon see. The issue is quite
momentous.

The CoIored Mississippi senator In
Brooklyn, N. u.

The friends of the fifteenth amend
ment had celebration 10 Brooklyn, n
Y, on Monday evening, and among
those present was Senator Revels, col
ored, of Mississippi.
The Rev. Hyland Garnett having been
introduced, said that he had been hand
ed a gold.headed ebony cane by Miss
Thompson, Of Baltimore, and the two
Misses Milford, of New York, to place in
the hands of Senator Revels. This he
begged to do, and forthwith he gave it
to the Senator, saying: 81 believe the
head is gold and the other part ebony
they look very well together, but to tell
you the truth, the ebony has become
pure gold in these days. This fifteenth
amendment is a great thing; it places
the colored man on an equality with the
Irishman and the Dutchman."
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said (:
"My friends, we are assembled here
to hold a jubilee over great victory
which has been won after many and Sc
rious difficulties. 1t has been the busi-
ness of my life to fight for liberty in my
country. 1t was said that the colored
man had no manhood; that he was lazy,
and that if he was taken from the
plantation he would become a nuisance
in the country. But how nobly have
you answered those taunts in the hour
of your trial There are no classes
more sslf-respeoting, moro brave, or
more hungry after education. My
| friends, tender you the most cordial
greeting. and hope that this great ex-
ample may be followed in all countries
of the globe"
Mr.. Beecher then turned to Senator
Revels and said:
"Sir, tender to you the right hand
of friendGhip, (grasping the Senator'S
handy Fellow citizens, / introduce to
you your fellow citizen, Senator Revels,
of the United States Senate"
Senator Revels spoke briefly, reading
from manuscript, in eulogy Of that
amendment to the Constitution which
had enfrancbised his race.

Prohibiting Railroad Apprspria-
tioun.

In the new Constitution Of Illinois,
which is being framed by the State
Convention, q provision has been in
troduced which contains an absolute
inhibition of the granting of appropria-
tions or loan of State aid to railroads or
canals. The astounding robberies and
corruptions that have followed the ex-
ercise of that power have no doubt led
TO the establishment of this healthful
rule. 1t is u pity that, while amend
ments of the Federal Constitution seem
to be in vogue, q similar provision re-
straining the power of Congress could
not be adopted in that instrument. The
amount granted to the four Pacific rail.

Colored Ynforn.

Colored persons in the Northern States
are already sending on complaints here
that they have not boen allowed to vote
in town elections since the Fifteenth
Amendment was ratified. The reason
generally assigned by officers who con-
duct the elections is that they take an
oath to obey the State laws relating to
suffrage that although these are rem
dered nugatory by the amendment they
have no official notice of the fact
through the Governor of the State. A
memorial was presented to the Senate
Yesterday from 1877 colored men of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, with every signature in
the same handwriting, representing
that they were prevented from voting
ut an election just hold; that
in portions of the wards officers
whose duty it was TO hold the election
refused to serve, and their places
were supplied by persons irresponsible
in any way for injuries that might be
inflicted on them. Under the second
section Of the Fifteenth Amendment
Congress can pass appropriate legisla-
ton enforcing colored suffrage, and
this memorial was referred for that
purpose to the Judiciary committee.

The fact stated above, that all the sig
natures to tho memorial were in the

pear that the question was raised for
the purpose of compelling Congress to
pass some obnoxious "apprepIiato leg

that negroes should be debarred of their

There is Q probability that the May

will be shortly ended. In the Dispatch,
of the 10Th, We find q correspon.
dence between the rival Mayors ELY
SON and GAHooN wherein they agree,
if Chief Justice CHASE will consent,
to submit to the Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals of Virginia the question of the

Temporary Mayor of Richmond, depend
ing upon the decision of that high court
upon this question.
The Dispatch says:
We believe that Mr.. Chase would
have decided the contested case before

done better than he has in agreeing to
submit the real question at issue to the
decision of the tribunal which the Con-
stitution itself points out as the one
which shall pass upon all such ques.
tions. For it is not Richmond alone that
is concerned, but the whole State; and,
therefore, as Mr.. Chass's decision would
probably have been that the Federal
courts had no jurisdiction, the question
of the constitutionality Of the enabling
act would still have been left, open,
aud would have been taken to the
Court of Appeals-thus making it late
in May before q final decision would
have been reached. Ii this act is nncon-
stitutional, Mr.. Efyson wishes to be
Informed of the fact by the only court
which. under the Constitution, can
pronounce it so. If it is constitutional, 4,
he wishes his conduct hitherto to be
indicated by the judgment of the same
tribunal. But above all other consider
ations is his earnest desire to promote
first the peace and the consequent
prosperity Of Richmond, and, secondly,
the quietude of the whole State.
