Senator MCDoNALD who was one OF the
six counsel employed TO defend RICHARD j.
BRIGHT in 1871 on al indictment for perjury,
and who in company with Senator VOOR-
HE'S, was most instrumental in having him
recently elected Scrgcant-at-Arns Of the
Senate. has published card vindicating his
friend against the charges revived by reason
of his nomination and election to this impof-
tant Office. Mr.. MCDoNALD says the proceed
ing was partisan" but lac conveniently
overloOks the fact that after first mis-trial
Attorney General HANNA. a loading Demo-
crat, commenced civil action against
BRIGHT for the sum OF $4,000 Of which the
State was alleged 10 have been defrauded
10y him as public printer. BRIGHT compro-
missed this suit by making good the def
cheney and then the criminal case was dis
missed.
1t is now in order for the senators from
Tennessee to vindicate Mr.. BURCH, and to
explain away the developments made before
committees Of the Legislature Of that State
affecting him most seriously in more than
one matter And when this shall be done,
the question may be properly asked, Could
not the Democratic majority find men to III
the highest and best Offices Of the Senate
who had not been indicted or smircied?

The Good Fortune of the Colored Race.

The colorcd people generally are crodu-
fous. Some persons, perhaps enormously,
deem them superstitious. As 10 that. how
ever, who is not supcrstitious Many a
learned Christian breads to see the new
moon over his lett shoulder
Colorcd people, as a rule, believe dcvoutly
IN Special Providence. They believe that
men like FREDEHIcK DOUGLASS and Senator
BRUCE were specially raised up TO illustrate
the capacity OF the negro race.
Taking their view Of things, how for
tunate II would seem to be for the colored
people that Mayor COOPER Is not negro !!
II" hns kinks enough. but none Of them are
Ia hi5 hair. II he had curly head his dis
graceful conduct would stick to the colorcd
laco as II it were cemented 10 them by DR..
PETER COorEE's best glue.
II EDWAHD COOPER were colored Mayor
oil some Southern city, his official failure
would be pointed at as conclusive evidence
of the incapacity for government OF the
negro race.
Mr.. COOPER may be cossed as what is
sometimes called Il white negro; but he can
mover bee rec,oncd a true negro
Perhaps lac is not q true anything.
At all events, fortunately for the negro
race, however much glue and ground bone
there may be- in his veins, there is no drop
Df African blood. Such as he is-poor ana
pitiiul specimen as lac may be-the Anglo
Saxon race cannot disown him.
Still, there are innoconts in every race.

We do not believe in a king. Down with
all kings. Down with all monarchical or
dcspotic authority in politics.
But when it comes 80 the cleaning Of the
public streets we are strongly in favor Of
having only one Scavenger- in-Chief You
may call him Mayor, or call him anything
else. II the man who freed Ireland from
snakes and toads was made n Saint, the man
who frees New York from filth may almost
be classed az n Saint
But 10 have the work done really done
and done promptly and effectively, the
whole power should rest with one man.
There are plenty OF mon whose souls are
above mere filthy lucrc, and who would
prize more highly the reputation Of having
purified the city than they would the pos
session Of II million Of dollars.
Let some such man be made street cleaner
We thought the present Mayor so long a.
we believed he had head on his shoulders.
""rv sc uu-o nave some one cIsc.
But let 1t bo one man. Put all the respon-
sibility on him. Then, If he did not have
clean streets, it would not he popular for
him TO appear in them. One man. and all
the streets clean: that is our doctrine.

rious liar;' also, that when he threat
ened to bring his personal grievances
before tho Presbytery Brother TAiMAcE
said to him: If you do that. We will turn on
you and kill you" " The biggest pack Of false
