THE st. Louis Post Dispatch says the Repub-
licans of Cincinnati elected negro naIR.sd
Williams to the Legislature last fall. About
the first bill introduced by the colored states
man was one to repeal the law which forbids
the iDtermarrfSge of whites and BLACKS in
Ohio. The Republicans are sQuirming pitt
fully, and seeking to avoid this issue o. mis-
cegenation or no miscegenatioH, but the negro
is memorable. and he declares that this foolish
legislation naust be wiped from the statutes,
on the Republicans must show their hands.
How sharper than serpeDts thanks 1t is to
have a negro Legislator in a close State.
THE Albany Argus says: We are slightly
surprised that the Democratic United States
Senate have at last taken issue with
r. B. Hayes, but it is gratifying
TO note that they have taken
issue on supervisors of the census. The line
of division on the pettiest officials aPpointable
does credit to the spirit of the Senate. It made
no objection to the confirmation of presidency
thieves to missions and judgeships- but when
a fraudulent president nominates q lot of $500
civil servants, then the courage of the Senate
becomes almost animated enough to shine In

THE Nashville Americas says the Republi
cans certainly have a right to induce men to
migrate from any part of this country to any
other part; any man has right to go where
he pleases and become a citizen whether his
purpose be political or not. That no one
denies- but it is desirable that the negro
should know that this is a purely political
move, and that he is being used, as usual: and
to show the white men of the North that this
overcrowding of the old States with labor, to
their disadvantage, is political movement in
the party which claims their votes. No legis-
IaTive action can be had to prevent migration,
and no one proposes anything of the kind.
None is necessary. The people of Indiana will
take care of the case themselves when they
understand it, and for every negro colonized
to vote the Republican ticket three white
men will vote the Democrat ticket.

AN entertaining story is told by Hirlap. a
Pesth newspaper. on the exploits OF a Hunga-
rian adventurer named SOmOskevy, at the
Philadelphia exhibition. On the opening day
SomOskevy drove up to the main portal an
elegant equipage, wearing striking costume
and displaying glitteriDg decoration upon
his breast. The officials cleared the way to the
platform where the distinguished guests were
assembled, ana marching up to the president
of the exhibition he said IN grandiose tones:
"Mr. President, 1 am Count Veyse, the Hun
gaTian Government commissioner" The
president offered him his hand, glsncing at
the same time at the real Hungarian commits
sioner, who came forward and said in Hunga-
rian, Pardon me, sir, but am the Hungarian
commissioner" somnoskevy looked at him
scornfully and replied in English, "Within
three days you will receive your recall. Mean
while, will you take notice of the fact that we
in the presence of these gentlemen and
speak Engllsh?" The astonished commits
sioner was about 10 reply when President
Grant came forward upon the platform and
the ceremonies began. After the speeches
were over and the procession of dignitaries
was formed to march through the main build
ing, Somoskevy pushed in ahead of the secre.
tary of state and offered his arm TO the EN-
press OF Brazil. who accepted it, supposing, as
she aGterward said, that he must be at least
European prince.
