Equality RIDING. -Sambo appears,
just now, to have worked himself into q
phren2y for enforcing the civil rights
bill in the matter of transportation. In
New York, on Friday. lie tried il or the
Fifth avenue omnibnses, and having
been elected, is about to bring suit. The
street railway cara are open to him, bnt
hitherto the omnibuses, and especially
those sacred to Fifth avenue.dles, have
maintained closed doors. On the same
day, they tried to establish footing in
the fashionable bar-rooms and restnn.
rants. md failing, will bring other suit
to enforce grog shop equality.
Louisville, on Friday, was in ferment
over consentaneous effort Of the ne
groes to enforce equal rights in the
street cars of that city, and the day was
devoted to fights and fe1ds on that
question. In one case negro, who in.
sisted on fighting for his seat, was pitch
ed ont of the car window.
All these doings show what Grant
ought to be doing with his troops. In
stsad Of sending them to South Carolina
where they will be compelled to fight
SASSY" negroes, he should quarter them
round in the cars, hotels, steamboats,.
theatres, ETC.. to enforce an equal chow.
ing for the blacks at the point OF the
bayonet. In that way ne viii best curry
out the grand idea of Radicalism social
and political amalgamat:on. Meantime,
Sambo will find, when too late, that the
persistent attempt to force himself among
the whites will be very Improbable.

COTTON MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH.
j. r. Dodge, Esq, Government Statis-
ticinn, makes tile following statement to
Commissioner Capron:
..The cotton interest has already at
tanned it's maximum of value and profit
for the present, and the cotton supply
Of the world has nearly reaohed the IL
NIT OF normal consumption; at q lower
price somewhat larger consumption
might result; largely increased supply
would occasion disaster and huotuation
in production, disadvantsgeous alike to
planter and manufacturer. There is one
mode, and but one. by which the value
end profit of the cotton crop can be
largely increased, and by which cotton
growers can remain "maeters Of the sit
uation." aud that is by manufacturing
i1 this country, not twenty per cent. Of
the crop, as in 1860; not thirty five per
cent, as in 1869; but at least seventy
five per cent and half of this should be
manufactured, near the cotton fields,
into coarse goods at first, largely into
yarns, and ultimately into every variety
of cotton fabrics. It can be done with
profit ct once. Idle water powers, abnn-
dant and cheap wood and coal for steam
machinery, dependent women anxious
to earn livelihood. and children grow
ing up under the pernioious influence of
idleness, call for such utilization of vast.
ing resources. While these means of
opulence are ignored. and the children
OF lndlgence are permitted to pine in
poverty it would be unmanly 10 envy
the possession of wealth elsewhere OBJ
tanned Dy the peraistent and industrious
nti!ization OF similar resources; and
while such opPortunities5 are thrown
away, the highest prosperity must not
only be upattained, but undeserved." !

lowed to Sheriffs or Constables for m ak.
ing levy and sale of property on execu
tion-traveling fees to be computed
from the seat OF justice of the County
to the place OF making DISTRESS The
Act to regulate fees, etc., approved

LIFE Po1loIRs s-Two, INTERESTING

trial Of an, action at law against q life in
s0rance company, are reported in the
Louisville Courier, Journal of Tuesday,
9Th instant:'sf ra-., -l.hh !9 H
1.in 1862, Hiram McGehee took out.
in favor OF his wife, Varinda, and chill
tlren, q policy Of life insurance in the
Union Mutual Company, of Maine,
through its Louisville agent, and paid
the premiums Tor five years. He then
paid no more till 1861. He then pro-
posed to revive the policy. to which the
agent assented. and named price to be
paid. McGehee paid part Of the price
in money and gave his due-biil for the
balance. which the agent accepted. AT.
texRard McG Gehee wished to recede from
the;new bargain, to get back the money
and note and surrender Lis policy. The
agent assented. and the business was
concluded accordingly. On March &C.,
following, McGehee died. Upon this
jury that: First. The receipt by the
ia waiver OF the forfeiture clause OF the
policy, and the acceptance by the agent
OF: note for part Of the payment does
not qualify the effect of The payment.
Second. II the policy were renewed by
the payment in 1861. then Varinda
McGehee acquired a vested right in said
policy that could not be diveated by any
subsequent agreementbetween McGehce
and the company until tue next premi-
um becnme due. In other words, that
McGehee had no legnl power to receive
back the premium and surrender the
policy. Upon this case the jury return
the cluim in full, with interest from the

wish to SEQ the experiment Of setf.go-
yernment without Federal Intervention
tried little whilo longer in the State Of
Mississippi. have no doubt of the re-
suit. One thing is CERTAIN, the bayonet
cannot give us peace and prosperity. II
may maintain order while it glistens in
garrisoncd towns, but We wish more than
this.
The bayonet in the South will give to
that section the samo character oi ''or-
der" and ''peace" that reigned in snbjuz
gated Warsaw. Tho experiment Of self
government" in tho hands of the Wnsh-
ington oIigarchy, has proved q delusion,
a snare and failure. This fact has be-
come patent to both the whites and
blacks Of the South. Yet the disfran-
chised property holders, who. pay the
taxes. would prefer q military govern
ment to the rule of negroes and carpet
baggers, who are consuming the sub
stance Of the South, and rendering it q
country unfit for tue abode Of Chris
tian aud civilized people. Either The
present Washington dynasty or ''self-
government" must speedily perish.
