Special Privileges.

But the negro does not longer ask spe-
cial privileges he is able to take care of
himself, and only demands that he shall have
equal rights and liberties with his neigh
bors. IN. Y. Tribune.
When did the negro ask special privileges !;
will the New York Tribune tell us? The
negro never asked any more than the rights
which should belong to free citizenship. They
have been treated with injustice from the day
of their first setting foot on American soil to
the present time, and Horace Greeley's New
York Tribune continues the injustice when it
nsinuates that they have ever asked special
privileges. 1t seems to be the chosen work
Of the New York Tribune, just at this time, to
stir up all the prejudice against the negro
possible, in order to please those voters,
whose only principle is to "love rum and
hate niggers." All the special privileges are
on the side of Mr.. Greeley's friends they
own railroads and steamboats,, and claim and
exercise the special privilege of charging the
same price to colored people for travelling as
to white people, and then to compel them to
accept accommodation inferior to that for
which they have paid; and Mr.. Greeley's
hackers in the Senate, while stretching hands
across the bloody chasm, vote against a
measure that gives equal rights to all. All
professions of the Greeleyites to favor equal
rights is delusion and a snare, as all their
actions in the not remote past proves.

Civil Service RefOrm-A New
Qualification.

A friend Of ours was a competitor for one
of the vacancies in bureau of the Interior
Department the other day. But for some
unaccountablc reason, Ito him. as he felt that
he had proved his competency according to
the test of fitness adopted by the President,
the position was refused him. On inquiry in
the proper quarter, however, he was in
formed that though he had passed most
successful examination, and that he came fully
up to the standard of qualifications laid down
in the Civil Service Reform rules. the Board
of Examiners had adopted another test which
would exclude him from an appointment.
They had decided that no one beyond the
age of thirty-five years could be appointed to
the position for which he was a competitor
And so he was rejected. Is this just or au-

A Powerful ViudicatiOn.

One Of the ablest political speeches ever
delivered, in our judgment, was delivered in
New York city, last week, by Senator Conk-
ling. 1t was in defense of the Administra-
ton, and is a mastery vindication of the char
acter of President, Grant. 1t covers the
whole ground, and scatters to the four winds
of heaven the whole foul brood of libels and
lalsehoods the Greeley-Tammany birds of i'll
omen have Matched these twelve months
past. The vile authors of these falsehoods
are stripped of their thin guise of reform and
economy, and held up to the public gaze in
all their native deformity and uglness. He
has eflectually squelched their power for mis-
chief by exposing their knavish and selfish
motives, and their infamous moral as well as
political deformity. Every charge against
Gen. Grant is not only denounced as untrue,
but prored to be wilfully and wickedly false.
1t leaves nothing more to be said either in
vindication of President Grant or his admin
istration, nor in condemnation of the vile
crew of Tammany-Greeley slanderers and
corruptionists.
