.NOrfO,,'s Dodge again.

The Republicans of ALABAMA, hay
ing grown pigeon-hearted, pretend in
their platform that they "only ask C.
qual advantages in matters of public
and common right" and proceed,
speaking on MoRroN's hint as eagerly
as OTnEILo spoke on DEsDMoNA's;
"This we consider to be all that is |
embraced in what is known as the
Civil Rights bill, and in order that we
NAV be understood, and no false char
ges made against us, we hereby de-
clare that the Republican party does
not desire or seek mixed schools or
mixed accommodations for the colorcd
people, but it asks that in all of these
advantages shall be equal.
To this obvious and decisive reply is
that in all of these the advantages are
| now equal There is no need that
measure shall rise from the dead Sleep
inr in Mount Auburn to establish such
equality. 1t already exists. On this
point, though capable of documentary
proof, we beg, for the sake of brevity,
TO cite the testimony of competent
witness, whose credibility, in the cs-
timation of negrOpholists at least, is
sufficiently guaranteed by his political
standing. We refer to Senator Brown
low, of Tennessee, who says: The
negro now has the equal protection OF
"thc laws. In other words, he has
equal political rights with the whites,
"Bcsides this, in all the Southern States
che has equal facilities foa education
"at public expense, though he does
mot pay onetenth of one per cent. on

''invidious distinctions are made

i generation is in their common schoo

with the emphasis of italics: "Unde

educational facilities with the whites
''though they don't pay one mill OF

It is anxiously hoped that the contest
in the Seventh Ward will result in puri-
flying the ballot box, and preventing the
negroes from voting illegally in the fu-
ture. 1t is generally believed that from
sixty to seventy negroes voted in that
ward at the recent election who had nc
legal right to do so, and each is therefore
liable to fine and imprisonment. When
arrested they must prove their residence
and qualification to vote. If they can
not be found of course they voted illegal
~ and have ran away.

A Neac Demand from the y e.
OrOcS.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH THREAT
ENED,


A negro called on one of the members |
of the Board of Health, in the Seventh
Ward, on Saturday morning, and in a |
manner significant of his determination
t O secure the civil rights OF his race,
informed the gentleman that he desired |
him to give more attention to the duties
Of his official station, and asked him to
walk out with him and see. Upon inqui-
nv as to what was the matter the negro
said "there We're three or four dead
chickens out there and they were oiten-
aiye to the people ut the camp meeting
and they must be taken away; they
were also offensive TO the white folk ks"
The member of the Board was somewhat
astonished al this request-he did not
suppose that it was part OF his duty to
remoye those dead chickens, and tinally
recovered sufficiently to inform the col
ored representative that he might secure
his object by finding the executive officer
for that district, that officers duty was
to bury such dead carcases as were found
offensive or require their removal. lie
did not know where this officer lived, but
this might be learned perhaps at the City
Hall. The negro thereupon took his
departure, and after being absent long
time made his appearance again tins
time evidently bent on securing his
rights. He informed the member Of the
Board, in manner which showed that
he labored under very great mental ex
citement, that he could not find thu
executive officer, and these dead chick
ems must be removed, they were offen
sive to the people of the camp meeting
and this could not be longer pernlitted
The colored people were determined tha
their rights should be respected; it wa
the duty of the members to attend t
this matter, and if it was not attende
to they would sue the Board of Health,
and again insisted that the nlembe
should walk out and view the remains {
the dead chickens. This the membe
back of the camel, and after declinin
very politely to take the proposed wall
quietly told the negro that he had give
himself great deal of trouble-that /
might have saved himself several lor
walks beside all his anger and vexatic
and stopped the offense the dead chic
ems were giving by just taking d shov
and covering them with little cart
The negro opened his eyes and very su
missively said he did not think Of tina
but the "colored people wero bound
