The $sOOO Quarter Race.

The quarter race Thursday be-
tween the Texas mare, Fanny
Bales, and tho Louisiana mare,
Lille Hamilton, for $1,000 n side,
a large number of peo-
pie. The track had been we'll
prepared. 1t consisted of two
parallel paths nicely graded, with
a railing separating them the
whole length. The nags showed
good handling and appeared in
fine condition. The day was
clear and pleasant; the track the
least bit heavy. Tho riders, two
boys, weighing nearly the same,
that is, about IS pounds each,
were mounted at 3 o'clock. Mr..
Pierce took charge of Fanny,
and Mr.. Grayson of Lille. From
this point on to the closing scene
there were the same incidents,
feints, false starts and jockeying
common to all quarter races.
The sun was about dropping be-
hind the trees when it was mutu-
ally agreed that tho nags should
be turned loose the next fair
start, but nothing seems to have
been said dispensing with the
starting word, which was Il part
of the original plan of running
the race. At the next turn the
horses were led up nearly head
and head, and off they flew; but
the Texas mare was not SO

@sife' thinking there were some
mourners who mingled their
smiles and their rejoicings, too.
OF course. it was strictly a po-
litical funeral, none but Republic
cans participating.
What effect the death of the
leader of the anti-Warmoth par
ty will have, politically, has been
and still is a matter Of general
conjecture. 1t is conceded that
it was a severe loss to that party,
or faction, the extent of which,
we are persuaded, its leaders
have not fully realized. They
must seek his successor, not
among the whites, but among
the blacks, if they intend to re-
tain their strength in the coun-
try. Who this Joshua is, is a
puzzling problem, since there are
no blacks in either wing who
have the influence Dunn had, or
arc so favorably circumstanced
every way as he was. We should
be pleased to help the Custom
house people out Of their diem
MA, but fear their only reliance
snow is the President, to keep
them from disintegration. Pos
sibly, this is all sufficient. Let
us hope so, at any rate.
Another consideration of some
moment connected with Mr..
Dunn's death, some think, is the
increase in chances for the i'm
parchment of Warmoth, now
that he is no longer likely to be
succeeded by n negro. We may
as well confess ut once that there
is no chance to convict the Gov
ernor before the Senate. In a
count of senatorial noses, the
Governors list includes about
fifteen, five or six more than he
requires for acquittal. He is safe,
therefore, on conviction. But it
is probable that the move OF his
opponents will be impeachment
followed by suspension, to last
during the remainder of his term
This will make the House the
actual judge of guilt or limo
cence. How the members are
divided, we presume, no one
knows. Of one hundred and two
members, twenty-seven are Dem.
ocrats. With anything like al
even division among the Rcpub
licans, these twenty-seven hold
the balance of power, and it hap.
pens to be at this .juncture a very
grave and momentous RESPONSE
bility. Let these Democrats take
care they are not sold by either
opposing faction, and that they
do not concentrate, by false
step, all the power and cunning
of our foes.

~ the rein us the
otner nag and fell behind on the
first jump. She made few leaps
and was recalled by Mr.. Pierce,
but Lille was run rafting over
the track to the poles alone.
Considerable excitement and feel
ing followed, consequent upon a
misunderstanding as to the agree
ment made before the start,
whether or not the horses were

BRILLIANT VICTORY FOR LOUISE
ANA-LILLIE BEATS TEN FEET.
Promptly between ten and
eleven o'clock yesterday both
horses were on the track; Lille
looking staid and sleepy, Fanny
frisky and trim. The riders were
mounted and Grayson and Fan
ny's starter took their places.
1t was believed the feints would
be few, and SO it was. A few
turns over, the beautiful little
mares were turned loose, and the
word given. Lille got the lead,
and down the track they came,
Lille holding her own and gain
ing upon Fanny. With such
animals at their best, quarter
is soon run. At the quarter
stakes both mares rushed like
swift-winged birds, Lille getting
home seventeen feet ahead! The
prolonged suspense was virtually
ended. The judges, upon meet
ing, decided Lille Hamilton the
winner by ten feet.
1t was a fair, honest and beau
tiful trial of speed. But Lille
ran under difficulties. She had
decidedly the sorriest track-b!
thirty feet some old racers assert
she was whipped over the ira OK
the day before, injuring her lef
fore foot and her rider did mo-
have the experience of his contcs
tant. Beside this, the Texas mare
was the favoritc over "slcepy'
Lille. The result was un
expected to our Texas friends
who lost heavily, but gallant.
admit their defeat. The TeXa
marc was never beaten before
which makes Lilies victory
most brilliant achievement.

Election Of Lieut.. Governor.

The telegraph announces the
election, by the Senate, of p. B.
S. Pinchback, one of its colored
members, as the successor of
Dunn. The vote stood IS to l6.
Col.John Ray, we infer from what
we have seen, is the defeated can
didate. He Doubt ess received
the Garter vote with the votes of
the Democrats. The chances are
now that the House will impeach
and suspend Warmoth and Pinch
back each i'm his turn. 1t seems
to us that Governor Warmoth,
defyins whites and bladks alike,
is driving headlong to his final
overthrow.

...rsaont ON Amnesty.

From the full text of the Pres
dents third annual message,
Just delivered to Congress, we
extract the following in refer
ence to the XIVth Amendment.
Tho President appears to have
modified his views greatly since
the last session Of Congress-, when
he considered it highly improper
to sanction an act of Congress
relieving all persons not included
in the restrictions of the XIVth
Amendment, from the necessity
of taking the iron -clad oath.
when qualifying for a Federal
office. He appears now to be
thoroughly in accord with the
Democrats on the subject Of am
nesty, basing his views of tho
subject upon the identical argu-
ments SO often and SO cogently
urged by Democrats to do away
with the barbarous prescription
of the best men in the South.
1t is yet to he seen how a par
tisan majority in Congress will
regard the question Of Amnesty,
a question of so much concern to
our people, and whether that ma
|jority will permit ''the old citi-
zens of these States to take an
Interest in public affairs, prOmul-
gate ideas honestly entertained
and vote for men registering
their views

Self-roSpeCC OF Will JUST icSdio w
the Iii gnity of the nation, to
permit Mr.. Catacazy to continue
to hold Intercourse with this gov
eminent after his personal abuse
of government officials, and alter
his improper interference, by va.
riOus means, in the relations be-
tween this country and other
powers the government had
therefore been released from
further intercourse with Mr.. Cat
acazy and another Minister had
been commissioned, who was en-
tirely unohjectionable. He re-
commends the education of four
American youths in Japan and
four in China, and he gives the
history of the difficulty in China,
and leaves the subject to the &C
ton Of Congress. AS to Cuban
affairs he says that he instructed
the American naval commander
in Cuban waters to protect the
lives and liberty of all bona Tide
citizens of the United States and
maintain the dignity of our flag,
and expresses the hope that all
pending questions between the
United States and Cuba may be
adjusted in that spirit Of peace
and Cancellation which has here
tofore guided both powers. He
recommends Congress to take
measures to support the lines OF
steamships between San Francis
co and China and San Francisco
and Japan: also to take steps to
bring about a speedy return to
specie payment, and also to unite
the telegraph system with the
postal system of the United
States. He defends the policy
pursued in reference to the stop
page of the Ku-kluX outraSes,
expresses tho belief that out OF
the numerous arrests made no
innocent person is now under ar
rest. In regard to Polygramy in
Utah, he relates the action of the
Federal Courts and authorities
there, and says that the Mormons
will not be permitted to violate
the laws under the cloak Of reli-
gion, but suggests whether the
children already born under the
Mormon system should not be
legitimate. He recommends abol,
!, itiOn of all tho Internal Revenue
tax except on spirits, malt liquors
and tobacco and stamps. also the
revision of the tariff. He says
that the Indian peace policy has
thus far resulted favOrably, ant
he recommends the formation O.
Il Territorial Government in Tho
Indian Territory. and suggest:
the removed of all political disa
, bilities under the NINth Consti
tutional amendment, and say
that it will be Il happy time TO
tho Southern States when thcl
old citizens shall again take a,
interest in public affairs. IL

The Presidents Message.


The following synopsis Of the
Presidents Message has been
telegraphcd from Washington:
The President states that the
relations Of the United States
with foreign powers continues
friendly. He refers to the set
Element of the Alabama dispute
by the treaty of Washington,
and says the example thus set
may he followed by other civil
lied nations, and finally be the
means of returning to productive
industry millions Of men who
are now retained to settle Il Ma
tional dispute by bayonet and
broadsidc. He commends the
Minister and Consulate at France
for his course in protecting the
interests of German subjects in
Paris during the late war. He
informs Congress that in conform
ity with the established preced-
ent he has recognized the change
Of Government in Rome and tho
Italian States, and speaks of con-
tinued friendly relations between
Russia and the United States.
Refers to the visit of the Grand
Duke Alexis and the hospitable
reception given him in relation
to Minister Catacazy, the Presi-
dent says that the inexcusablc
course of the Russian Minister
had rendered it necessary for the
President to ask the Minister'S
recall, and decline to receive that
functionary any longer. He says

More than six years having
elapsed since the last hostile gun
was fired between the armies
then arrayed against each other,
one for the perpetuation, the
other for the destruction OF the
Union. 1t may we'll be consider
ed whether it is not now time
that the disabilities imposed ny
the Fourteenth Amendment
should be remanded that amend
ment does not exclude the ballot,
but only imposes the disability
to hold Offices upon certain cases.
When the purity of the ballot IS
secure, majorities are sure TO
elect officers rejecting the views
of the majority. / do not see
the advantage OF propriety OF
excluding men from office merely
because they were, before the
rebellion, of standing and char
acter sufficient to he elected to
positions requiring them to take
oaths to support the Constitution,
and admitting to eligibility those
entertaining precisely the same
views, but of less standing in
their communities. 1t may he
said that the former violated an
oath, while the latter did not.
The latter did not have it in
their power to do so. If they
had taken that oath, it cannot be
doubted, they would have broken
it as did the former class. II
there are any great criminals dis-
tinguished above all others TOR
the part they took in opposition

in the Judgment of Congress he
excluded from such an amnesty.
This subject is submitted for
Your careful consideration. The
condition of the Southern States
is unhappily not such as oil pa
triotic citizens would like to see.
Social ostracism for opinions
sake, personal violence or threats
towards persons entertaining po-
litical views opposed to those
entertained by the majority OF
the old citizens, prevents emf
grafton and the flow of much
needed capital into the State
lately in rebellion. 1t will be a
happy condition of the country
when the old citizens of these
States will take an interest in
public affairs, promulgatc ideas
honestly entertained, vote fol
men registering their views and
tolerate the same freedom OF OK
preston and ballot in those en-.
pertaining political convictions
