An Outrage.

twill be seen by our correspondence from
Lottsburgh, Virginia, in J. B. Sener's Dis
trict, that an outrage has been perpetrated
against colored school. The ladies who
conduct the school are obnoxious to the
white people in the naghbogbood because of
their fidelity to correct princig es. In order
to rid the community of these lends of JUS
tice they incite few iIitrrate negroes,
stepped in bigotry, 70 dive the teachers out
of the school-house and to destroy valuable
school apparatus. 1t Is asserted that this
outrage is part Of the strategy to secure
the reelection of j. B. Sener to Congress.
1t is hoped that the true friends of the COL
ored people will be frightened away, and the
treachery of this candidate for Congress to
equality before the law will not be exposed
to the colored people of his District. We
deeply regret that cO.ored men can be found
so debased as to act as tools for the purpose
of promoting the schemes of demagogues and
adventures.

Labor that will be Lost.

If Senator Chandler desires to be his own
successor in the United States Senate from
Michigan, his enemies had better save their
strength for some other purpose than to
waste it in trying to defeat him. They have
tried that experiment on two occasions
already, and ANONYMOUSLY failed. All their
abuse has but made him the more popular
with the people. He has been true to them
in every trial, and they will continue to trust
and honor him while he wishes to retain his
present position. For seventeen years he
has represented them in the Senate with
great ability and energy, and with unswerv-
ing fidelity to their interests and the interests
of the nation. If his enemies were able and
wise enough to select the very best man in
the State to fill his place the people of Mich
igan and of the whole country would be the
losers by the change. They are wise enough
to let wei enough alone, Or they have greatly
changed for the worse. Indignantly as Mr..
Chandler has been assaied, none of his op-
ponents have ever dared to assail his official
and personal integrity, his fidelity to the
principles of his party, or his patriotic devo-
ton to the country. His constituents de-
mand nothing more.

1t appears that the Queen, in going out
driving, the first time the Duchess of Edin-
burgh accompanied her, placed, as usual, the
Princess of Wales beside her ON the back
seat, so that the Duchess and her spouse were
forced to sit opposite, with their backs to the
horses, which was all very well for the Duke,
he being man and in his mothers carriage,
but the proud and petted daughter of the
Gar OF all the Russias had no idea of being
made to yield the first place to any one. On
her return from the drive, therefore, she in
formed Qneen Victoria that she had never
occupied the front of a carriage before, and
that she would not submit to being placed
there again. The Queen reminded the irate
Duchess that the Princess of Wales, as the
wife of the heir to the crown and the future
Queen of England, was, of course entitled
to take precedence over the wife of her sec
ond son, and that, moreover the Princess
Beatrice, as an unmarried English Princess,
still under the immediate protection of the
Queen, was also entitled to take the prece-
dence over any of the other female members
of the royal family. Remember hat am
the daughter of the greatest sove reign on
earth, the Car of Russia" cried t he indig-
nant young lady. To this the Queen respond
ed, g l acknowledge no earthly sover eign as
my superior" So there the matter rests,
and the Duchess Of Edinburgh was not pres
ent at the Queens last drawing-room, os-
tensibly on account of illness.

TO the COiOrcd People of Penn
SIINaMla.

FELLOW CITIZENS The PENNSYLVANIA
State Equal Rights League will hold its Tenth
Annual Meeting at Reading, Pa, on Tuesday,
18th Of August next, commencing at 10
o'clock a. NJ.
At the time of our last Annual Meeting we
fondly hoped that ere this time measures of
redress of the highest Importance would have
been granted us by the United States Con-
gress, and by our State Legislature. and we
have been disappointed. The Civil Rights
Bill has been strangled by its pretended
friends our children are still denied decent
treatment in the School system and, by rea-
son OF prejudice alone, we are debarred from
many OF the rights precious to us, and to
which citizenship properly entities us
Colored people, merely on account of their
color, are excluded from places and privileges
that Ofright belong to the whole people. We
represent Il respectable minority in most of
the States, even majority in several. We
have been true and faithful to the dominant
political party, and men and measures have
been carried because of our faithfulness.
AS Americans, as Citizens, as Men, it be-
hooves us to use all honorable means to
secure to ourselves and to our posterty all
the rights and privileges to which we are
justly entitled and it cannot be that class
as large as ours can permanently denied if
our efforts are intelligent and harmonious.
1t is OF the highest Importance that we me ct
together to deliberate respecting our past
disappointments, our present condition and
our future course.
Therefore, we. most earnestly hope that
every colored man of public spirit will set
himself to secure for his loyalty full repre-
sentation at our Annual Meeting. Reor-
ganize your old associations, or organize new
ones, and send your best men to represent
you, so that deliberations may be wise, and
that correct conclusions may be reached as
to our future course.

President Pennsylvania State Equal
Rights League.

countrymen and of their padroni are at the
Five Points, Baxter street, Mulberry street,
Mott street, Elizabeth street, Crosby street,
Elm street, Marion street, Sullivan street,
and No. Broadway, in the city of New Y ork
(This last place is the Office of the Italian
consul.)
Mr.. Negley, this wholesale slave trade of
children and swindling of adult Italian emil
grants, not only is an undeserved dishonor
upon the proud italian name, but is also a
direct violation of the American laws, and
an insult to this age of freedom and pro-
gress.
l am Of opiHion that the bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Sumner is the most
efficacious as covering all cases, and the
sooner this bill is voted by Congress the
better, so countless cruelties will be avoided
any many victims will be spared, and the
illustrious Senator Sumner and yourself may
henceforward feel an honorable pride to have
we'll deserved of humanity.
With profound respect and high considera-
ton remain your most devoted

party. Those States in which the Democracy
is known to be planning the destruction of
negro suffrage, must be carried by the Re-
publican party. The legislatures Of such
States must be controlled by the party of
justice and progress.
The time has not yet come for the negro to
leave the Republican party. He cannot do
so without injury to himself. There is no
other party willing to receive the negro save
only to use him for his own destruction. For
such utterances as the above we have been
denounced in unmeasured terms by dema-
gogues Of our race, men who are eager to
seek favors at the hands of the Democracy,
and to destroy those who labor for the best
interests of the race. We intend, however,
to continue to urge the necessity of contin.
ued alliance to the Republican party on the
part of the colored people.

Gen. Butler and his Enemies.

There is something in the course pursued
by portion of the Republican press and a
large number of his colleagues in Congress,
towards Gen. Butler, that we can find no
justification for in his official or public life.
1t is easy enough understood why political
opponents should both fear and hate him,
for he gave them good cause for it during the
rebellion as he has since. They never can
forget or forgive the wholesome discipline he
taught them in Baltimore, New Orleans and
elsewhere, during the war for the Union
But for this very reason he should escape the
vituperations of his political associates and
Of Republican papers if through envy OF
credulity as to the wicked charges Of his
rebel enemies, they cannot give him the
honor justly his due.
Though the object of more bitter abuse
from members of his own party than any
Republican living, not excepting President
Grant himself, they have never yet been able
to fasten upon him one dishonest action in
all his official life, or one act of bad faith
either to the Republican organization or the
ITuc pTluCIplcS vi NcpuulCdulStu. Auu IL
point of ability he has no peer, even in the
House of Representatives, much less any
superior, and those who have chosen to
break lance with him have done so to their
modification.
He has shown his superior talents ani
familiarity with public questions in every en-
counter he has had with those ambitious Of
trying conclusions with him; but in no case
did he achieve, more signal triumph over
them, than in the debate on moieties, the
Sanborn contracts, etc., day or two before
the close of the session. He proved himsel
far more than a match for the whole commit
tee of Ways and Means, and exhibited thei
course in light far from advantageous to the
interests of the country or the Republican
party, or creditable to the intelligence of the
committee. But Mr.. Butler seems entirely
capable of protecting his own good name, in
spite of the abuse of almost the entire pres.
of the country, and we will therefore leave
him to deal with his enemies as he deems
best

Civil Rights In Ha mptOn.

Following close upon General o. o. How
ards's recent successful attempt, at Old Point,
to put into practice his extreme views of the
equality of the races, a similar effort was
made by some Of his proteges in Hampton on
Sunday night last. At the usual hour for
opening services in the Baptist Church of
the town several young negro men entered
the church and seated themselves in the body
of the house among the whites. The sexton
approached them and politely informed them
that the gallery was reserved for colored peo-
pie, requesting them to remove thither This
they positively refused to do, VIII en- an officer
of the church advanced to them, and, repeat
ing the information given by the sexton, re-
quested them to take seats in the gallery.
They again declined, whereupon they were
told they must leave the house. They
obeyed, giving vent audIbly to their disgust
at their treatment.-Noyfok JWyiaian.
