SENATOR BRUCEs TONsORIAL
PmTWTW EGsWg

Washington Special to the Philadelphia Times
The Civil Rights bill has come home
to the United States Senate IN a most
unexpected manner. Attached 10 the
chamber, for the use Of the members,
is a 6Tst-class barber shop. the artists
IN which are paid by the Government.
and provided at its expense with an
exquisite stock OF toilet articles. The
new oOlOred Senator from Mississippi,
Bruce, who is a full-blOOded negro,
availed himself Of this tonsorial per-
qUisite the s@C0nd day after he
was sworn in, aad has been since then
an occupant of 5ne Of the chars for
at least an hour every day. As soon
as he arrives Ii She morning, he has
his hair nicely curled by his cOlOred
friends. and before be leaves IN the af-
ternoOn he gets fixed mp again for din
ner. Some Of tie more fastidiOus SEN
atOrs, who visited the place a few morn
ings ago, were astOunded at the IN
usual sight Of a negro In the Senatorial
barber-shOp, the combs and brushes
with which they were accustomed to be
adorned deity tiyingthrough his kinky
hair ard over his swarthy face. The
result is, they have ever since given
the Senate barber-sbOp a wide berth,
and held several Indignation meetings
on the subject.

BLAINE As A PRESIDENTIAL CAN
DIDATE
New York Gerald.

The greatest problem of the Repub-
lean candidates for the Presidential
nomination IS to save the party with
out suTrsndsring it TO Grant. To raise
the party above all possible danger
would be to place it exactly where II
was IN lS72-st Grants feet. On the
other hand, unless the Generalization
Of last year Is checked, the whole party
viii run down the hill into the sea, like
the sacred beasts into which the devils
entered, and like them will be destroy
ed.
The delicate part Of the Republican
party which exists in Connecticut has
Just had a strong tonic administered
by Mr.. Blaine, whose speech at New
Haven last evening may be compared
to a dose OF quinine IN a case Of chills
and fever. IL is rumOred that he is a
candidate for the Presidency, and IN
this speech skilfuIly endeavored
70 keep the office still within reach.
Re mad not a word to say
OF the third term. The bane
having done its work for tie present, be
promptly presented the antidote IN the
shape OF an unconditional impeach-
ment Of the Democracy, as a party
which cannot be trusted VITA the cor
troll of the Government. His horrible
prophecy u ruin is compounded OF
dreadful ingFedlents-Jef Davis, the
var, a new revolution, the sulleu South,
the ambitious North, are pCanded in
his mortar with the gsostOf Buchanan,
and the pills are not sugar-coated.
Taeir effect upon the patient viii be

RAILRnAn TAVATION.

From a careful reading Of the opin-
ION Of Judge Sneed delivered Saturday
last in the Sumner county railroad tax
case, we think it probable that the
summary of that opinion published by
US may have mislead some Of our read
ers as toits scope, especially when taken
IN connection ,,Tilh what was said Of
the purpose Of Sumner county to test
the constitutionality Of the act Of the
late Legislature relative to the taxation
of railroads.
For a correct comprehension Ct the
decision Of the Supreme Court it must
be horne in mind that the case under
consideration was between Sumner
county and the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company, and that the
charter Of that company is different in
important particulars from that Of the
other railroads Of the State. In the
charter Of the Louisville road
there is no exemption whatever
from taxation. In the charters Of
other roads there are specific exemp-
tons for a certain period Of time, and
in some a perpetual exemption Of the
capital stock. The opinion Of the Su-
prone Court delivered Saturday does
not hold that roads which have charter
exemptions are liable to taxation under
the Constitution Of 1870. No such
question, nor anything akin to it, was
before them. If any conclusion upon
that point can be drawn from
that opinion, it Is to the ef-
feet that companies having such
exemptions cannot be taxed by subse-
quent legislatisn, for the court say that
property not specifically exempt by the
constitution, or by the will of the Leg
islature, is taxable. Thus recognizing
the binding effect of the will of the
Legislature as expressedin the railroad
charters. The Louisville Railroad is
the only one running through Sumner,
and theonly with which that conn
ty can have the proposed litigation.

A SPECIAL to the Chicago Times af-
firms that Secretary Robson, alarmed
at the newspaper criticisms about the
naval steamer Dispatch being placed at
the disposal of private exeursionists,
telegraphed to Simon Cameron at New
Orleans, asking him to forego the use
Of that vessel and suggesting that the
yellow fever excitement would furnish
apretext fortaking theregular steamer.
Being thus thrown back on their private
resources, it seems from our dispatches
this morning, that the patriotic party,
80 bent on decorating the graves Of
our soldiers IN Mexico" have abandon
ed the enterprise and dispersed to the
four winds. Tom Scott did not offer to
foot the bill Of expenses when the Gov
eminent declined, and we are called
upon to tally another quasi defeat for
the Texas Pacific, the promotion Of
which is the most innocent contraction
that could be put on this Mexican
escapQd0.

The Presidents Talk About Mexico.
The President, to-day, stated in relation
TO the recent Outrages by armed bands of
MeXicans invading the Texas frontier, that
he had not expressed his views TO any per-
son, not even to the Secretary Of State, who
like himself had been absent from the CITY.
Orders had been issued to the military for
the protection of our citizens on the from
tier, but nothing else had been done. The
Government was not yet fully advised of
the extent Of the OutTages, though it had
been officially informed of the arrest Of a
mail carrier and the burning Of the postOf-
fee by the invaders. The Mexican Gov
eminent had repeatedly been reminded of
the Outrages heretofore committed by Next
caus upon citizens of the United States,
both in Mexico and on United States soil,
and would hear from this Government in a
short time, concerning those more re-
Gently committed, through the Department
Of Safe. There would be a consultation
with the Secretary Of State on this subject,
and probably it would be brought to the
attention of the Cabinet. We must de-
teTmine hereafter what is proper TO be done
in the premises. He could see no reason
for apprehension Of a war between the two
countries, but Of course no one could tell
what might take place in the future.
Nothing, however, would be done by this
Government to provoke such a result.
No Foundation for RumOred Changes.
The President said to-day he had no
knowledge Of the resignation or removal of
Commissioner Douglas, and added that Mr..
johnson, Commissioner of Customs, would
be retained; 50 would First Comptroller
Taylor, Of whAe honesty and UprightDess
he was fully assured; also Second Comp !
troller BrOdhead. There was a vacancy in |
