A Pleasant Reunion.

On Saturday evening George T. Downing
Esq, ENTERTAINERS select party of gentlemen
at his residence on North Capitol street.
The centre Of attraction after the assem-
blage of the guests being Wendell Phillips,
the orator who combines more native ability
/ with scholarship, and more heart with phil.
osophy, and more soul with experience, and
more honor with availability, and more rel-
gious dissent along with genuine piety than
any other orator of history. They call him
the sllyer-tongued on the platform; he is the
manly-tOngued in social life. Hiding moth
ing and Boosting nothing he speaks always
with prineely consciousness of genius and
acts ever under the simple inspirations of
manhood.
Mr.. Phillips was accompanied BY Senator
Wilson, the Vice President elect. Gen.
Wilson led the conversation for a moment,
during the evening, back to the days Of abo-
lition struggles, and especially to the mob in
fremont Temple in 1850, when the first an
niversary of John Browns martyrdom was
held. The fact was dwelt upon with some
thing of interest to each concerned, that af-
ter the lapse Of fourteen years at least four
Of the actors in the mobocratic events were
present-Weudell Phillips, j. Sella Martin,
Col LeBarnes, and George T. Downing.
In his immutable way Mr.. Phillips made
all present feel how glorious it is 10 be a
man. Puryis, Downing, Augusta, Barbados,
Greener, Elliot, Rainey, and other men of
ability and position not only felt the inspira-
ton of the hour but impaired some of their
own enthusiasmin respect TO civil rights to
Mr.. Phillips, who leaves Washington with
renewed devotion 10 our sacred cause. Let
this be the motto, The United States is
not nation till all men are equal a. to their
public RIGHTS

senator POIneTOy.

Senator Pomeroy's friends say that his op-
ponents studied the cheapest way 10 beat
him and paid men TO pretend they were
bribed, putting the money in their hands to
be returned As bribery money, but paying
them privately as much as it would cost THE
pretended bribery money were paid. The
management of three reliable % Witnesses in
this way would be cheaper and safer before
investigating committees than paying out
the amount Of money necessary in their opin-
ion 10 overcome the popularity OF senator
Pomeroy in the Legislature. We sincerely
hope this hypothesis may De sustained, and
that Senator Pomeroy's record in this matter
will support us in our former estimate of him.

The Remedy Of Farmers Against
Railroad Freight ExtOrtiOn.

From every agricultural district Of the
country the cry comes up against the ex-
orbitant and ruinous freight charges BY rail-
products. The universal complaint among
farmers in many portions Of the Western
States especially, is that the freight tariff is
so high as to eat up the market price of the
corn, and nearly to absorb the value of the
wheat crops. These extortions deprive them
their labor, and all return Tor the capital in
vested in these two great staples. Corn
does not pay for raising, and very few other
farm products offer any encouragement TO
agricultural pursuits as business. Farmers
are therefore deyising various ways to remedy
the evil and force railroad monopoiists to share
the profits of their labor and capital with
them BY reducing their freight "harges to a
more equitable standard.
But railroads are fast becoming stronger
than the people, and il many States using
Legislatures as mere agents for increasing
and perpetuating their power. Farmers can
expect very little relief from this source, how
ever strongly they may protest against raul
road eNtor,ion. But the people have d rem
edy for these selfish exactions within their
own power. 1t is IN creating a h0nss market
foy their products. Uniform, systematic, per-
sistent encouragement to home industry, in
the shape Of protective tariff, will secure
this object, and in very few years furnish
market at their very doors for everything
they can raise, and the highest market prices. !
We don't mean the yascillating, uncertain,
ftful policy the Government has pursued
upon the subject of protection for the last
sixty years. alternately giving the country a
high tariff and free trade. II must be a
steady, permanent system Of encouragement
to our own manufactures, upon which CAPT. |
talists can safely rely. A moderate protec-
ton, with an undoubting assurance Of its sta |

COi0red Labor.

Until our representative co!ored men take
hold Of this question Of labor and study 1t
and apply it to the peculiar conditions Of their
locality, there can be no hope Of beneating

North the question is reduced 10 science,
