"CAsTE. The New York World dis
poses of the ''caste" question in the fol-
lowing tart paragraph:
"At meeting of blecksin this city on
Mo1dhy night, 4osrthahs impassioned
speeches were made, asserting the i'm
mense progress Of the negro race to-
wards gentility, and the clear right of
said race to admission, on equal terms
with whites, into the best hotels. With
the customary ohtuseness of the Afri-
can, it does not appear to have struck
orators at this meeting that it is but q
poor sign of gentility for any one to
seek to thrust in where he is not wanted.
A certain measure of what may be term
ed politeness is characteristic of the
negro; but, if meetings are to be held
for the purpose of facilitating intrusions,
Cuffs reputation for civility will sink to
the low estate of those carpet bag sneaks
who are perpetually whining about the
social ostracism they meet South, as if
any but IN ingrained blackguard would
seek admission where not wanted, or
howl about it when denied"

and rejoiced in the opportunity to send
East for them by gentleman about to
make flying visit thither. The ex-
pected wife and children, however. never

was eagerly looking for them every day,
IN their stead came letter whose rove

OF taxes and the agents commission.
