WHAT TRUE oouR AGE ACCOMPLISHED.

The more that the history of the past
comes up wildly in the recollection the
more that part which ZACHARIAB CHAN
DLER has borne in the history of this Gov
ernment comes to view. In December 1857,
the Thirty-ffth Congress assembled, there
being Democratic majority in both Houses
The exciting topic then was the admission
of Kansas under the Constitution which
protected slavery, that measure having
Presidential sanction. Congress was then,
rs now, under the domination of the South
whose representatives became exceedingly
abusive of the Republican opponents of the
measure. The sentiment ofthe North against
dueling was taken advantage of, thinkin
that they could heap insult upon the Sena-
tors and Members from that section with
impunity on that account. The assaults of
the more violent leaders upon some of the
abest and purest Republicans in the Senate
known to be non-combatants, finally became
insufferable to some of those who had suf-
ficient courage to resent au insult even
though it should involve bloodshed. The
Republic, a monthly magazine formerly pub
llsneu III tulS city, leIci5 W that peCullar
juncture in this wise:
In the midst of one of the most denuncia-
tory Trades of one of the fre.eaters, there
was noticed little group Of the lately ad-
mitted Republicans in side consultation on
the floor of the Senate. Precisely what was said
in that consultation is not known TO the
writer, nor is it likely that IL will trauspire
during the lifetime of either Of the three gen
tlemen engaged. II is, however, known that
the group was composed OF Senators WADE,
CAMERON aud CHANDLER; that it was agreed
between them substantially that the business
, of insulting Republican Senators on the floor
| of the Senate had gone far enough, and that II
! must cease. Aud further, that in case of any
| renewed insolence TO any other Republican
| Senator of the character which had been
practiced, it should be the duty of one of the
three to take up the quarrel aud make it his
| own TO the iull extent Of the code-to the
| death if need be. The compact was not only
| made, but was signed aud sealed, aud remains
sealed to this day. Its import, however, be-
| came known, and the demeanor of the South
ern fre.eaters, though still violent and dis
loyal, soon after became courteous, personally,
| toward Republican Senators.

to evade and destroy the spirit and intent

THE eight electoral votes of Louisiana
may be saved to the Republican cause, or
from Democratic misuse, in 1880, if the
Bourbon legislative ticket is defeated in
that State next month. This inducement
. TO earnest campaign work is sufficient to
command the attention of the best men in
the party. We shall accordingly expect to
be able to record the fact in few days that
Messrs. GARFIELD, BLAINE, LOGAN and
fifty or hundred more of our leading Re-
publican speakers have started for the Peli-
can State.

THE Democratic organ here has concluded
to reform. 1t announced yesterday morn

"news we throw off all partisanship," and
it should have added; In view of the un-

"whieh disgusted decent men of all parties,

THE efforts of the Democratic organ and
its kindred sheets the country over to
detract from the purity of the late Senator
CHANDLER's reputation by reiteratng the
ISLANDERS they were wont to charge against
him during his lifetime will prove futile.
Among these is the assertion by the organ
that Mr.. CHANDLER attempted or intended
to bring suit against it for libel last spring.
The truth is, and everybody knows it, Mr..
CHANDLER never contemplated such an
idea for moment. His utter contempt for
his sssailants,comb with his sound JUDI
ment regarding the utter lack of influence
exerted by these assaults, persuaded him to
avoid the mistake Of increasing their noto-
nety by paying the slightest attention to
them.

THE mention made of the death of Sena-
tor CHANDLER by his admiring friends is
like gall and wormwood to the Bourbons,
though it is difficult to see what they can
do about it beyond the rendering of them
selves ridiculous in the public eye by their
ill-natured and ill-timed croakings. So far
as we are concerned, we say: Let the
heather rage"

Now the Southern Democrats are on a
new tack. They are determined TO Danish
the cOlored man from the jury-box, if they
can; aud failing IN that, to abolish the trial
by jury. The opinion of one JAMES w.
GREEN, a Cupepper lawyer--indorse by the
Richmond Dispatch rs one of the soundest
"lawyersin Yirginia"--on thissubject, to the
effect that any State may abolish the trial
"by jury, for 1t is not guaranteed by the
"Comstituion of the United States, except
ain Federal courts" is gleehlly quoted bv
the Virginia press as furnishing an avenue
of escape from the excepted decision of the
United States Supreme court upon this
question. The Dispatch alleges that DAN
IEL WEBSTER indorsed this assumption in a
letter written by him in 1850 to the late
JOHN MINOR Boris; but fails to pro-
duce ;ho text of his letter or make
good its allegation in any way.
The argument based upon it is, in effect,
that if the State can abolish trial by jury,
tits impossible that any man eau have the
right to be q juror guaranteed to him by
the Constitution or laws Of the General
Government. This postulate assures the
Dispatch that the Supreme court, at best
or worst-can only decide that the State
may abolish jury trials but until they are

In August last the st, Louis Globe Demo
erat printed Mississippi letter truthfully
describing the deplorable condition of al
fairs in YazOo. Subsequently the story
was spread about in that county to the
effect that one Ii. c. ELLET was the
author Of the letter, and in consequence he
was subjected from that time forward to
threats, intimidations and various methods
of prosecutions, until at last he was COM
PEELED to appeal to the GID. for proof that
he did not write it, Being thus "vlndi-
Gated" from having told the truth, he
now enjoys entire freedom from melesta-
tiOu and is again restored to the enjoyment
OF peace and quiet. This incidental ex-
posure Of the bull-dozIng policy, by which
truth-tellers are punished in the South
will serve to explain why it is that reliable
information from that teuorized region is
withheld from the public at large. 1t shows
that bull-dozers are powerful enough when
occasion requires 10 muzzle the press, or.
what is the same, to prevent the publica.
ton Of news regarding their atrocities.
Verify, not half the truth has been told
about these Southern Outrages.

SAN FRANCISCO April GA Victoria dis
Patch speaks Of the relations of this province
Wiih the Dominion of the approaching
crisis On the new traffic, in consequence of
inc hardness of the Canadian government in
announcing its railway policy, causing much
Uneasiness even among the friends of con-
federation. DIR. Ash, a member of the local
parliament, has given notice of the follow
ing motion: That the house is of the opin.
Iya that the tariff of customs aud duties now
{ bout to be enforced will be injurious to the
Interests OF this province, and that unless the
building Of the Canada Pacific railway is i'm
iuedlsteiy commenced in this province, and
Vigorously carried on, it is unjust to resuIre
that on Increase of taxation be levied on to
provide tor the construction of public
works for the protection of industries which,
without direct railway communication, can
ROT possibly serve them, nor should it be
borne 10y the people OF British Columbia.

There can be no separation Of races within
the limits of this republic. There can be no
citizenship outside of American citizenship,
and If the black race could be separated from
the white the line between them would be a
line of strife and blood. If, on the other
hand, they iuhabit tine same territory the
same race antpathles will probably exist and
produce the same results as those from which
they have fed. The hope Of the negro, like
the hope OF everybody else in the republic,
Is IN the progress Of enlightenment and CIV
ihzltlon, and the south will more and more,
I'D my opinion, become open to those lnflu-
ences. Although southern landholders are
IN wiling to be taxed to support negro
schools, the scho0imasJer Is abroad in the
south, and hundreds and thousands are learn
ing to read, write, and to count. Contrast
ing the present condition Of the colored peo-
pie with that which existed previous to the

iuither peace and happiness in the States ON
the soil OF which they were born"

The ladies comprising the LOtOS club in New York

pany not attending reception specially given them
By the club This want of etiquette on the part OF
theatrical artists Is OF common occurrence. They
assume a very reserved manner when Invited any
where, and often after accepting. fai to make their
appearance; and when they do they are likely to
bring along few friends of their own as not. Ii
called upon to add by their professional acquire

class OF society have found Il not worth the trouble
And the artists are night. They know that
ninety nine times out Of every hundred they
are only invited to such places because Of
their ability to cater for those who may be
present; in other words, to give performance
that at the theater or operahouse would net
them handsome returns. Could persons OF
other professions entertain audiences as well
they would be tasked IN like manner. An
other thing, artists do not like to carry ''the
trade into their amusements. Theg need
recreation. This they can only find N amuse-
ments, if not wholly, at least in some respects
different from the routine of their lives. As
to their reserved manner, it may be saie
that persons who, when not wanted, are
rated with the 'scum of the EARTH" are not
likely to be otherwise than reserved when
they meet the ''cruel world face to face.
