This affair called tho attention of

When tAe Democrats came into
power, IN 1901, he was chosen
chairman ofthe Committee of Ways
and Means, which was the most
important position in the House, as
it now is. During tho first few
years OF Mr.. Jcfferson's admmIstra-

was kept in IN orbit by the Presi-
dents mild, commanding influence.
The time came, when that influence
was no longer adequate, and Mr..
Randolph suddenly abandoning his
party, went into opposition. lie

"Mr. Boutwell, is armed with full
power TO fund at a lower rate of
interest, and we believe :he new
bonds are being rapidly prepared in
Washington. but the names Of the
mysterious German Bankers who
were so eager to take them and of
whom we have heard so often, have
not been revealed. We venture to
say that they have been slain on the
bloody fields OF Woerth, and that
the bonds will, for the present, have
to lie in the treasury vaults, the hos

tries to our institutions leading them
to prefer 81 per cent. interest on

is changed from top to bottom near
~ every year-eombined with the
weight of its duties. also helps TO
strengthen the spectators and cap
itallsts, and to concentrate IN o few
hands all the most profitable trades.
1t is only the great operators having
control of large funds who ear sue
cessfully contend with the ups and
downs which the tariff has intro
duced into bushes. 1t Is only they
who can spare the labor and time
necessary for the work of lobbying
at Washington which the high du-
ties make as necessary n part of any
great manufacturers business IS the
yearly balancing Of his books and
the repair of his machinery, and 1T
is only they who, If their efforts are
unsuccessful, and sudden adverse
changes are made in the tariff, can
meet the crisis without RUN. IN
der such a systom, there is no place
for small producers. II is as much
as they can do to meet the annual
uncertainties oftrade the artificial
uncertainties they cannot provide
for. The consequence is that the
Iabur market, like all Other markets,
passes every year Tor and more
under the control of few capitalists,
who, whenever they please, can
make the competition of capital for
labor, on which economists rely so
much for keeping up wages, a mere

THE Pittsburg Gazette has a letter
from a Pennsy1vanian, now visiting
the Federal Metropolis, whence we
clip the following Renaissance "One
can hardly realize although he has
ocular demonstration of the fact, that n
colored gentleman occupies n seat in
the United States Senate, within twcn-
ty years after the passage Of the Fugl-
tive Slave law! But it Is a stern fact.
During the late war, | was present
in the House Of Representatives here,
when one of the hottest Abolitionists
from New York delivered u sermon on
the future state of the African race In
this country. He declared boldly that
the time was not far distant when the
colored man would sit side by side
with the white man in legislative coun-
Gil. After the congregation dispersed,
/ had a conversation with the gentle
man, who Is at present one of the
principal editors of the New York
Tribune, on the subject of the sermon.
The first question he asked was 4:
what do you think of that doctrine p
l responded that I looked upon 1t as
rather visionary. well, sir said he
whether it pleases or displeases us,
whether it Is congenial or uncongenial
to our feelings, it is the true logic;
and If the war for the Union succeeds,
and / have no doubt it will, we must
come to it. and white and black will
sit side by side in enacting our laws.

whether either Of the men referred

never anticipated that the colorcd man
would first take his seat in the Senate

KILOGRAMS
FROM SACRAMENTO.

SACRAMENTO, April 1.-Two colored
men. OH Saturday, appeared at the
office of County Clerk Brown and APP
piled to have their names put OIL the
Great Register as legal voters Of this
county and citizens of the United
States of America. Brown registered
the applicants, on their complying
with the usual form required. The
names Of the newly-made voters are
Henry Yantes, aged 90 years, a native
of Kentucky, and Robert Christopher
Ferguson, aged 40 years, q native Of
Virginia. BY authority Of County
Clerk Brown, 1t is stated that he had
no personal knowledge of the mani
festo addressed him by Senator Mande-
Vile and others, which has already
been published. He considers his duty
clear, and will perform it In accord
ancc with the supreme law OF the land.

folk, was purchased from Theo. Win

The trial of B. j. johnson, for the
murder of his child last November,
was concluded on Saturday evening.
The Jury returned a verdict OF guilty
of murder In the second degree and
recommended the prisoner to the
mercy of the Court. In the course OF
this trial the question arose Of sanity.
At least one-half of the practicing ply
sicians In the city were summoned to
testify to the mental condition Of john
son at the time Of the murder. The
physicians refused to give their opinion
without fees, claiming that they by
study, experience, and expenditure OF
money, had qualified themselves
rs experts, and the State had no right
to demand such services without an
equivalent. The Court declared them
in contempt. An agreed case has been
made for decision on this point by the
Supreme Court, whether physicians
can be made to abandon engagements,
neglect patients and be required to sit
ali day In Court to hear testimony on
a hypothetical case and then be obliged
to give opinion thereon. In the morli-
ing seven physicians answered the
summons and testified. Three gave
opinions that the prisoner acted under
monomania three Others that motives
induced the act, and the defendant was
capable of distinguishing between
right and wrong. The Others declined
expressing any opinion.
