The Queens Drawing Room.

The Queen had another drawing room yes
terday, tut it is no. known whether it has
been attended with any fatal consequences to
the persons who attended. The little Duchess
OF Edinburg who seems 10 have been waiting
her opportunity, came ont i'll blaze of dia-
monds which threw everything else into the
shade, and dazzled even the gravest eyes.
Her dress is thus officially described: 'Rch
blue velvet, with garniture Of the finest Rus
sian sable, satin pstticoat trimmed with bands
Of diamonds and large diamond tassels, and
trains of velvet" Observe, not diamonds
merely, but .bauds OF diamonds, and .'large
diamond tassels."
We must hope that the duchess was con-
soled by enjoyment Of her own splendor and
the effect it produced for having to yield pre-
cedence to the Princess Louise, whose hus-
band is only dukes son, and who has two
brothers-in-law IN trade. The Princess Bea-
trice did not appear. and it has been remarked
as odd that the Duke OF Edinburg went to
the Prince of Wales ball without the Duchess.
The visi, Of the Prince OF Wales to India,
which is to take place next cold season, has
long been contemplated, but obstacles have
always come in the way. 1t is to be made
great pageant There is some talk of making
q new batch of field msrshals. of which the
Prince will perhaps be one but l should
think this is doubtful. SO far as he is con.

The Next Speaker.

We clip the following from the Albemar!e Times
of North Carolina
For more than twelve years the Radical party
has been largely in the ma jority in the Federal
House of Representatives. They have elected
the Speaker who has appointed all committees
through which the legislation Of the country is
directed and shaped. Next to the positions Of
President and Chief Justice that Of Speaker Of
the Federal House Of Representative ranks: He
has Infinitely more power than the Vice Presi-
dent, who merely presides over the Senate and
only votes III case OF tie vote.
The Democrats have a large majority in the
next House of Representatives. Who will they
select for Speaker?
There is no man in the country who combines
many Of the qualities essential to this great
Office as samuel ). Randall Of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Randall is the best Parliamentarian on this
continent. He is quick, decided and firm in all
of his opinions. He Is an eloquent and able
debater. He is a firm, true, blunt man. Some
objection has been raised to his election to the
position to when he is SO u>tly entitled. on the
ground Of his being 9 protective tariff man.
This fact should influence no southern man.
Il is a fixed fact for many Years that great
part of our revenue must be raised from du les.
And fit were not so, Sam Randall is the last man
Oh earth to take advantage OF position in order TO
enfor G 20 icy which was not acceptable to the
great party OF which he was the acknowledged
leader IN the last Congress. We trust every Rep.
resentative from North Carolina and the South
will support him. Ii elected, we assure them he
VIII give the Southerner- that prominence on the
various committees to which their talents, tidel-
lty and patrio ism entlte them.
If we could appoint the Speaker from the whole
body Of American people We would select Samuel

TEE PROBLEM 70 BE SOLVED.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 9th inst.
thus concludes an able and forcibe article
under the caption Of ''Our Historical Epochs. "
1t is cheering to know that the people in the
great West appreciate the gravity Of the situa-
ton, and that they are girding up their loins
for the inevitable contest:
We have now to settle something which, in
the degree of interest it awakens, is not in
ferior to any thing ever agitated on the Ameri-
can continent: Are We to be a Republic or an
Empire? Disguise it as We will, that is the
problem. Grantism is Cesarism. 1t is moth
ing less. We are called upon to say whether
we will pass from the era Of Cicero to that of
Augustus from a country ruled by the bal
lot to one under the subsection of the bayo-
net?
If this is to be the upshot of all the sacri-
fees made for American liberty, then it would
have been far better it they had never been
given. Better that we should have rem aimed
in political connection with the mother
country Of Great Britain, and shared the
freedom which she enjoys there, than to hand
over our destinies to q military usurper, who
would be the parent of a long line of such of
whom We read in the decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire" There is danger Of this
great and imminent danger. Let us pre-
pare to meet it il the spirit Of our ancestors
Of a hundred or two hundred years ago. Let
the watchfres Of liberty be kindled in every
them blaze from every hilltop, and
shine respondent from the mountain peaks,
A beacon to the country beyond. Let no ef-
forts be omitted to strengthen the party
which is opposed to Cnsarism. and whose |
motto is, down with the would-be dictator |
md the overthrow Of his bayonets." The |
Democracy appreciate the dangerous charac-
er Of the man in the White House, who has |
given every indication that he is one of those |
degenerate characters who fgnre in the pages |
If the immortal Gibbon. The fl hit with |
Grant comes off in this and the centennial |
,ear Of our independence: and if the third |
erm, which means empire. is to win, the |
period Of our creates. glory will be associated
With the period OF our eternal degradation.

fashion for y suitor to 50 down on his knaas
wife. which. with very stout gentlemen. was an

WHAT NEXT?

1t is significant and ominous sign, as re
CARDS the offshoot OF the pending compromise
or adjustment" as Representative Wheeler
prefers to have it called. that two OF the mem
bers Of that noble quarsette by whom ma
jority of the people of Louisiana have been
cheated out of their birth-right. have quite
recently been the recipients of executive favors
from two of the high-contracting parties to
that tremendous diplomatic achievement.
No sooner had the very Congress adjourned
which had s!igmatized Messrs. Wells, kenner
& Co. as guilty of the highest crime which
can be committed under republican gov
eminent that Congress being composed in
both branches Of an overwhelming majority
of members of that party for whose supposed
benefit the infamous and stupendous swim
die was perpetrated- we find the
official head of that party in the country
at large, Ulysses Simpson Grant,
removing one of his own supporters from a
lucrative office in the New Orleans Custom
House to make room for the chief of that dis
honored gang, the so-cllled Louisiana Re
turning Board; and following in his footsteps.
his bayonet elected Governor, William Pitt
Kellogg, entrusting the duty Of taking the
Of these men, upon whose sable brow the
brand of infalny was also burned by the late
Radical Congress for fraudulently depriving
freedom Americans Of the right which is the
oorOar-cfona Of Amar;oan Ehartv and f,r
which our viii e ancestors, one hundred years
ago, staked ''their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor.
The would-be Cesar's want of decent re-
spect for the opinion of mankind in general, and
OF the American people in particular, is too well
known to require comment. Like that promls-
ing youth, Prince Hal, ''there is devil
haunts him" in the likeness Of tat body called
the {" Ring"-a thing "known to many in
our land by the name Of pitch" which, "as
ancient writers do report, doth defle;"-

CIVIL RIGHTS.

What is "Civil Right ?" It is righ
which man enjoys as citizen. Life, liber
ty, and the pursuit OF happiness are among
such rights; but it is not necessary to q man
existence that he should put up at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel; it is not the condition of his
liberty that he should attend the opera, and
it is by nc means essential to his happiness
that he should drink wine at the bar of the
St. Nicholas. Per contra, it may be necessary
to the existence of barber that he should
wait upon those only whose patronage he de-
sires; it is certainly necessary both to his
liberty and happiness.
We gain little if while emancipating one
class We enslave another. Particularly IN all
matters Of trade, fussy limitations and petty
restrictions are irritating, because men feel
theIa to be unphilosophical. 1t is hard Ger
tainSy that man should be refused accom-
motsa'ion at an iun on account Of his COM
plexlon. But white men are constantly re-
fused lodgings for less reasons because the
gentie,naniy clerk does not like their appear
ance; because they are shabby and have no
baggage; because all the rooms are reserved
for f,vorites of the house, who at the moment
NAV be many hundred miles away.
These are hardships and indecorums which
the law Will hardly reach, and when Il white
man is refused admission to one inn, he usu-
ally swallows his wrath and seeks another
At common law, he may bring an action, but
no one ever thinks Of such a resort. In the
long run landlords and BARRIERS and theatrical
managers will have matters their own way,
and this simply because the number of those
who will care to annoy them will prove ex-
ceedingly small Iuformers, making a pro.
tession Of informing, never thrive in this
country. As for the civil right of B to compel
A to trade with him, it doesn't exist BY law
of nature, and it can never have healthy
existence under the law Of the land.
If any one supposes that in making these
remarks We are actuated by prejudice, he is
very much mistaken. We have advocated
and intend to advocate perfect equality be-
fore the law; and while law is law We heartily
advise every body to ob=y it. At the same
time we know that there are wise and foolish,
practicable and impracticable, necessary and
unnecessary laws; and while large bodies Of
receive handsome salaries for
enacting new statutes and amending old ones,
he supply, to say the least, will be quite
,qual to the demand Add to this that law
are not without exception
and it will be apparent that re-
peal will be quite as much the business Of |
legislatures as enactment.-N Y. Tribune.
