The R,GHrs OF TIE CoLoRED Brother.
An interesting case, involving the point
of social equality and the rights OF the
co!ored citizen under the amended Con-
stitution. came up in Justice Vardinals
Court yesterday afternoon, aud that au-
gust tribunal was interested Tor some
hours in the hearing OF profound argu-
men. on the Interpretation OF the great
safeguard Ct American liberty. The evi-
dence in the case vas simple and biiei
enough. 1t WAS summed up in the en-
cumstance Of colorei gentleman named
William Rogers having entert ID the drin!
ing saloon kept by Samuel Sample, and
demanded to be supplied with whisky
straight. The Gamymedes in attendance
denied homage TO the presence Of this
dusky god. and irrevereutlv intimated
that he didn't set up for nlggers. Inc
saloon is a heightened resort for gentle
men only. Mr.. Rogers wns Illuminated
by this rebuff, and brought suit for S259
in satisfaction OF this atfrcnt put upon
the dignity of an American citizen. II
such things could be and the heavens not
fall upon the hypocrisy OF our pretended
liberties, then had the thousand battle :
fields of the Republic been drenched IL
vain, the proud bird Of freedom was
myth, and the memory of the nations
heroes a reproach This was the shape
in which this little affair was laid out for
the deliberate inspection of Justice Yer.
dinal, aud the worthy magistrate was SC
far affected by the powerful efforts Of
counsel, and the ultimate effects OF his
decision as bearing upon the policy of the
Government. that he required time fol
reflection. The Justice will sleep with
copy Of the Constitution under his pill
low, consult the various authorities suS
gested. and be able 10 determine thu
comparative rights OF the colored brothe
before the bar of justice and the bar OF
two-bit saloon some time next week.

WAR MORE THAN PROBABLE

But few days will elapse until Congress
meets, and within a fortnight after the
meeting the question OF war with Spain
will probably be determined. Acting
upon the promptings of the people Con-
gress cannot fail to declare war against
Spain unless the latter makes certain
concessions which Spanish arrogance
will never make. There is no more
naughty power upon earth than Spain.
Her people think they are the bravest
and most dauntless of all others, and in
our Judgment the Spanish nation will
not hesitate to 60 to war with the United
States, not from any native animosity
towards us Us people, but because we
have achived worldwide reputation as
military power, and hence Spanish AFRO
ganco would only be too glad to measure
swords with our people. As Spain is far
ahead of us in the matter of navy, the
contest may be prolonged for some
months, as it will be naval war between
these two powers. OF the ultimate re-
suit there can be no doubt, Cuba will cer-
tainly fall into American hands, and we
very much fear that the Spanish Repub.
lie will be overthrown and monarchy re-
established at Madrid.

Secretary Richardson has taken the
Kennedy mansion on H street, op.
posite Senator Chambers, and his
family will entertain as literally as they
did last winter. The British minister
will not give any receptions till after
New Years day, and then will hold two
every month during the session of Con-
gress. The French minister will, as
usual, give one grand ball during the
season; and devote the rest Of his social
entertainments to dinner parties, of
which, like all Frenchmen, he is very
fond. France. however, has had nc
more popular minister here in many
years than Marquis de Noailles. He is
a more thorough Democrat than France
is republic. The new Vice-President
unlike Mr.. Colfax, will not keep open
house.
