sOsial and Political Equality.


The Republican party has accomplished
another point In its eadeayOrs to place the
colored man upoa q political aud social
plane with the white mau, and 70 bring
about eemmingling ofraees. The elesa-
lion Of the colored man was the sole object
Of its formation, which has never been lost
sight Of, though 10 the groEth Of the party
many became enrolled in its ranks for
purely selfish and personal motives, whose
only interest in the eolored man was to
eontrol his vote for self aggrandizement.
Republicans everywhere, aud the great
bulk Of the party IN Maryland, stoutly de-
sied that the party was founded in the
interest Of the colored race, and protested
That they never intended to force social
equality among the races. When slavery
was abolished the Democrats warned the
people that to confer citizenship upon the
freedmen would be the next sep. This,
Republicans claimed, their party never
intended to do, but il was done, and
another step 10 elevatiag the black aud de-
grading the white man Eas to give the
negroes the right to vote. Then quickly
followed equal privileges Of the blacks with
the whites on railroads, steamboats and
other public couyeyances, aud in hotels,
theatres and all public places, aud now
comes the placing Of che colored man in
the jury box With whites. Unless the
party is beaten and Oyerthrown. eolored
children in white schools vii next be en-
forced The right for eoIored children to
attend che public schools already exists,
and is enforcement is only question Of
time, unless the Republican party is hurled
from power 10 the national gossrnment.

AN EXTRAORDINARY DISEASE.

were alarmed at remarkable change that

yellow, then deepensd into saffron hue, aud
then, to the terror Of the parents, grew darker

Haw lhs Oalarsa IuIor Waa Drawn.


The recent decisions Of the Supreme
Court declare that it Is violation Of the
United States statutes to exclude persons
from iuries on account Of race or color,
and that the United States law on that
point must be obeysd, no matter what
enaelments States may have. The law is
Unconstitutional, aud 50 held to DO BY two
members Of the supreme Court, but a ma
joriiy having decided otherwise, there is
no escape from obeying ii until the law is
repealed or the decision oyerruled.
The selection Of jurics is discretional
with judges, and exclusively white juries
can be drawn now as formerly, without
my Infringement or violation Of State or
federal statutes. The law requires jurors
10 be chosen with reference to their So
briefly, intelligence and integrity, but with
out reference to their race or color. These
injunctions could be Obeyed now, aud a
white jury be selected, bat In some United
States courts, as 10 Judge Rives Of yir-
gihia, the fact that no negroes are drawn
On jury Is presamptive evidence that
they we're excluded on account Of race or
color. Upon this presumptiEe evidence
alone State judges have been indicted and
tried, and beea subjected to Imprisonment,
trouble and Inconvenience.
Judge Hayden, Of this circuit, has been
on the bench for twelve years, and during
that time has commingled very little with
the people. Since he has been judge the
population Of the county has materially
changed, and he Is not so well acquainted
with the people as formerly, Several
weeks ago, as he had doue several times
previously, he requested each attorney
at the bar here to furnish him with
the names Of thirty persons whom they
could recommend rs competent jurors.
The lawyers complied, two Of the Repnb-
liean members Of the bar haviusa number
Of eoIored men on their lists. The issue
of putting eolored men on the jury was
here presented Under the law they can
not he excluded on account Of their color,
aud two members Of tho bar had vouched
for their qualifications. Jedge Hayden
fulfilled the requirements Of the law and
selected the names Of several colored men
with others iron which to draw jury,
and oae eelored man, Thomas McCaun, Of
Uniontowu district, was drawn. Had he
Ignored these colored men, after the two
Republican members Of the bar had viz
taally asked for them, the United States
Court ia Maryland very probably would
have acted al did the Court in Virginia,

That sterling Democratic journal, the
Frederick UaioH, announced a week or
two ago that the State levy this year would
be seventeen cents on the $500 instead of
eighteen and three.fourths, as heretofore
The news was so gratifying that number
of State journals republishsd the announce
ment, but it now appears that the Union
was mistaken. The levy will be the same
as last year, but the retrenehment meas
ures iaauguated and passed by the last
session viii no doubt permit considerable
reduction in another year or two.

who had murdered two women, was hanged.

and life was pronounced extinct, as a seien.
tide experiment the body was subjected to an
eleotrogalyanic current, and AFTER few hours
signs Of life were pereeptible. The resusei,a.
Ted convict completely recovered the use OF

toward the prison officials by whom he was
surrounded. lie soon began TO suffer from
congestion Of the brain, and became delirious

upon the keepers and complained Of violent

Iowa, last night from the southwest to the

ITS track. 1t left the path of destruction about
20 miles long and varying from so to 800
yards vide, and was accompanied BY terrific
thunder and lightning, heavy hail, aud great
floods Of rain. The other passed four miles
north Of bloomfield, and It's track was mark
