White Trash.

tThe bottom rail is certainly on the top
or very nearly so, in Washington, if we may
judge from the action of gentleman whose
teuphonious name is Smith. Hitherto un-
known to fame save as one of great family
whose pedigree can be traced far back beyond
the Hapsburgs and to whose ancestors old
julius Caesar was but parvenu Henry, of
that stock, made his mark in the world his
tory as the shadows were falling on the closing
hours of the pleasant June month. Refusing to
accept the decree of the Fifteenth Amend
ment making white men the equals of colored
gentlemen, Smith boldly closed the doors Of
his hostelry in the face of presun,ing "white
trash" who sought comfort and refreshment
in place sacred to -colored responsibility.
And now this "white trash" brings Smith into
court to compel the colored people to receive
him into their inns and society under the
tyrannical provisions of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. Smith has our best sympathy in this
struggle, and we think the man who pretends
that there is anything like equality between
''white trash" and colored gentlemen must DO
in state of mind that would justify the au-
thorities in Washington in taking active meas
ures for the protection of the public by lodg-
ing this frebrand in Fortress Monroe until
such time as he had learned to recognize the
fact that "the bottom rail is ON the top" and
that he had better not try to disturb it.

TIN. MILITIA and tho Fourth.

The military display yesterday was not
calculated to give very great satisfaction to
the public who imagine that our citizen
soldiers are perfect military organization.
About five thousand troops formed in line,
but even this small body left good deal to
be desired in the matter of training and
discipline The military spirit evidenced by
the men was above all praise. for it requires
a good deal of self-sacrifce to undertake q
march through the streets of New York
under July sun. Many of the
regiments gave evidence of careful training
and supervision on the part of their officers,
and to these regiments all credit is due. But
many others showed that there was need of
reform in their direction. The evolutions
the troops are called on to perform on a re-
view parade are of the simplest
kind, and we have a right to expect that
the militia will perform them correctly.
Some of the regiments yesterday did not
seem to have thoroughly mastered the difficult
ties of the manual of arms. This is some
thing within the competence of the least ia
vored regiment to acquire, and we think
little attention to the matter on the part of
the commanding officers would set the trouble
at rest. Much as these defects are to be re-
GREETED, it is better that the real state Of the
militia should be exhibited in these public
parades than that the public should imagine
that state of thorough efficiency has been
reached. The display yesterday was on the
whole creditable to the militia of this city,
but it proved conclusively that there was
plenty Of room for improvement We hope
our citizen soldiers will do better next year.

specie men might consent to take q candidate
like Thurman or Hendricks in preference to
o heresiarch of imitation like Pendleton. But
the Ohio canvass, in the shape it has assumed,
forebodes dissension and disturbance in the
Democratic National Convention unless the
democracy are badly beaten in that State this
year. In that event hard money candidate
on a hard money platform will be the natural
resource of the national democracy; but their
defeat in Ohio will have broken the enchant-
ment of the ''tidal wave" which has Of late
so buoyed up their hopes and given them such
a fresh infusion of confidence and courage.
The republicans are not likely to suffer
from this element of distraction and di-
vision. They will stand united on the COM
promise legislation of last year. They will
DO too shrewd to reopen within their own
ranks so troublesome o controversy. They
are committed to specie payments in 1879,
and as even Morton voted for the act of June
20, 1874. and Logan lodged the vote by alb
sence, no republican politician will go back
upon that act which settled the currency ques-
ton in the republican party On this dis
tracing question the republicans are pretty
certain to present united front, and the dem
oeratio schism viii turn to their advantage.
The democratic party will be weakened by the
OHIO election, let it go which way it will.
They cannot lose it without a great loss Of
prestige, nor can they gain it but at the ex-
pense of great internal feud which will ex-
pose their National Convention of 1876 to the
same perils on which that of 1868 made ship
wreck of the party. The smaller of the two
evils is defeat this year in Ohio.

Tho Khedive's New Court.

The announcement that there has been
opened in Alexandria, Egypt, new inter-
national court of appeals, composed of judges
selected by the great Powers, with Egyptian
jurists in the same Jurisdiction, is ON event of
more than usual interest Justice in Cairo, so
tar es foreign residents are concerned, has
been in the hands of irresponsible consuls.
BY system Of treaties or ''capitulations' as
they are called, between the Christian Powers
which are not Christian, foreign governments
have claimed the right to '-protect" their own
subjects, and to administer justice through
their own agents and under their own flag.
This right is, Of course, undisputed in
countries like Zanzibar or Madagascar or
nationalities, with no sense of justice except
what comes from the arbitrary Will of an
ignorant sovereign. But when it is applied
to governments like those of Turkey and
Egypt, and we might say China-govern-
ments which, in many respects, are as
civilized az England France or our own-it
is an anomaly that has led to abuse.
The Kh6dive Is rich potentate, o tempting
opportunity to adventures who swarm around
him. 1t has been o favorite expedient for
consuls of other countries to plumber him in
'the interest of Justice" For long time the
Kh6dive has been endeavoring to reform this.
He has asked the great Powers to create their
own court by sending competent jurists and
this court he would protect by his authority
and support out of his revenues Conse-
quently the jurisdiction over all issues between
foreigners and subjects of the Kh6dive is
transferred from irresponsible consuls to q
learned, honorable and efficient tribunal
We are glad that America has a representa-
tive on this bench, and we are especially glad
to note the opening of this court as step in
civilization
