many millions of dollars, by bitter

At meeting of the co.ored vo-

the advice of Charles Sumner is IN

colored American citizen, and that
they will use every honorable effort
to secure the election Of Grant and
Wilson. ---.--....

SMUGGLING FOR THE ADMINIsTRA-
TToN.-We learn from good authority
that the steamer Liberty, which ar.
rived at this port on Tuesday after.
noon last, had on board some six pack.
ages OF cigars which did not appear
on her manifest, but which, it is said,
were shipped under consular certifi-
cate and sealat Havana One Of these
packages was addressed to his excel
lency, U. s. Grant; another to Mr.,
Fish, secretary of State, aud the others
to different members of Gen. Grants
cabinet-in all about 5000 cigars. =
Had these cigars been addressed TO
any other six citizens of the United
States the custom house officers Of this
place would have pounced upon them,
and probably mulctcd the captain Of
the steamer in heavy fine, or have
sought the confscation of the vessel
We regret TO say that tho exalted
official position of the recipients Of
these cigars SO overshadowed the laws
of the land that they were suffered to
80 on their way to Baltimore. We
trust that tho customs officers at that
port will exhibit little moro back.
bone in tho matter, and compel Mr.
U. s. Grant and his confreres TO duly
enter the cigars and pay the statutory
duties thereon, We are at loss to
discover any more privilege in Gener-
al Grant TO smoke smuggled cigars
than thcre is in General Tom Thumb.

On HAND.-As predicted, the self
same old familiar faces, which for
nearly quarter Of century have
annually appeared in our midst to
regulate the domestic affairs of Radi-
calism, assembled in the Arbitration
Room, on Friday last, for the purpose
of electing Representative Delegate
to the approaching State Convention.
All the members ofthe "bread and but.
ter brigade" were present and active
in their support of "lhe government"
After considerable button holing, Gen
John Patton was chosen delegate,
with instructions TO support Frank
Jordan, (now Secretary of tho Com
monwesltb,) for Governor. There
was quite q number Of Chite men
present, and Gen Patton looked like
one, but lie was compelled to take
Jordan, although it will be q very
"hard road to travel The general
feeling Of the Convention was decid.
edly anti Cameron, but the dose had
to be swallowed, because there were
at least three candidates in the field
for delegate, who finally compromised
on Patton and Jordan, which the form.
or did not relish. The Radical waters
are greatly troubled just now, and the
few mohrnful looking pilgrims pres
ent could not conceal it.

The "WHITE" DEMAdooUE.- Our
ncighbor, Gen, White, State Senator
from Indiana, instead of growing up
into a statesman, is becoming nothing
more nor less than a ranting dema.
gogue. In this line he has no match
in the State. He talks more aud says
less than any other member of the
State Senate, and yet he wants to be
Governor. His conduct in the Gray
Mcclure contest has been disgusting
in the extreme. The Philadelphia
Age, in abiding to this case, says:
"Senator White is wrong in suppos-
ing the newspapers Of this city do no.
understand the Gray-McClure case.
They understand the case in all its
bearings, and also Senator Whites
connection with it. II il is not the
desire or policy of the Radical party
to prevent an investigation into al
legged fraudulent returns, why the
present action of Senator White and
his colleagues? They can open the
door for investigation by a single
vote. They can do justice to the peo.
plc of the Fourth Senatorial district,
by acting upon the spirit of the law,
not sheltering themselves behind mere
technical quibblcs. Both the people
aud press Of this city understand the
real merits of the Gray-McClure case,
and Senator White will not improve
bis chances OF being chosen Governor
by acting tho role Of the small part-
san, not the upright, conscientious
Senator

sore and weary, proposed TO ride from
tho depot to the Reed House in an
omnibus; but the driver, not having
the fear of the civil rights bill before
his eyes, refused Frederick q seat.
And his troubles didn't even end here,
for arriving at that famous hostelry,
he was assigned room, but notified
that if he would partakc of the furth-
or hosptalities of the house, he would
have to submit to eat his roast chick

WELL STAMPED.-The Committee
of Ways and Means, having agreed to
report in favor of tax of sixteen
cents on plug tobacco and twenty.
four cents on smoking tobacco, the
smokers will certainly contribute a
reasonable share toward the support
Of the government under this bill
But, if it is really necessary to stamp
things in order to grease the govern.
mcnt machine, let the lururieS bear
tho burthen. Let Congress put its
heel on the chewer, smoker and
drinker, and allow the neceSSaries of
life to 60 free. We say, tax tobacco,
rum of all kinds, coffee, tea, figs and
all imported fruits, silks, satins, etc,
and let those who want to indulge in
frivolities pay for their whistle. Any
well regulated family can get along
without any of these items. Yet, If
they have the means, and covet them,
let them indulge in them. But, take
the stamps off the nccessaries of ffc.
