RANDALL IN A NEW ROLE.

The country will be somewhat startled to
learn that the Speaker OF the House OF Rep-
resentatives has recently figured In an en-
tirely new role, that he has In fact envtous
ofthe pugislistic fame achieved by the doughty
New York Senator who travels on his muscle,
disdaining shotguns-taken part In q mill In
which, IL he came out second best, he at least
bore himself with the knightly courage OF a
Mace or Heenan. The place was Pullman
sleeper, the time about ten days ago, just be-
fore dinner, when man naturally feels saw
age and warlke, the occasion fanoied In
suit. The train had just stopped when gen
tleman from the good old State OF Virginia,
with blonde not to say auburn, hair, and 9
physique, the fine character Of which was
partially concealed by loose duster, made a
vain effort to leave the sleeper. Across the
aisle was the burly form of a gentleman,
who was leaning over In earnest con-
verse with q friend, who was seated.
A request, politely couched and twice relt-
Grated, from the londe gentleman, Tor the
burly gentleman y permit him to pass, failed

requested to move aud would not; but SO far
from this soft answer turning away the
wrath of the burly man, 1t caused him to

shake him. This was the signal for War-it

badly used In that city In 1876, will vigorously

In our editorial on the guarantees OF the
new constitution, In yesterdays edition, we
Inadvertently stated that the constitutional
convention had decided not to impose poll
tax, which would have fallen most heavily
upon the colored people" What we intended
to say was, that 1t was decided not to make
the payment Of the poll tax, which was fixed
at the low figure Of 81 50 per capita, 8 pre-
requisite for voting. This action, 50 far as
the colored people are concerned. virtually
abolishes the poll tax, which Is never collect

who pay licenses and taxes.
