NOTES FROM NEW YORK.
New YORK, August 5th, 1881.

New YORK, August 5th, 1881.
A great many of ex-senator Conk-
lings enemies are anxious to know
his future movements So far, he has
let nothing drop that would give the
slightest clue as to his intentions.
The prevailing opinion is that he will
be heard from before many days roll
over his enemies heads.
An administration man was heard
to say lately that eff Mr.. Conkling
stands up, he will continue to be a
power, perhaps never SO great before
If he lies down or drops out, he will
henceforth be forgotten Till the
ex-senator let's his future movements
be known, both his friends and foes
will wait and watch.
ALL TO AID IN THE CAUSE
A large and enthusiastic meeting
of the Twenty-second Ward Branch
of the Irish North Land League was
held on Sunday last at the Hall of the
West Side Temperance Association.
The object of the meeting was to per-
feet arrangements for the grand pic
mic and festival to be held in Elm
Park on Aug. 10Th. Reports from
various committees proved most IA
.vorable. Three hundred dollars had
already been realized from the adver-
Using journal. The President made
a strong appeal to the members to
leave no stone unturned to make the
festival success, as the more money
realized the more would be sent to
Ireland to aid in the cause.
A special meeting of Branch No.
20, Parnell Land League, was held
on Sunday afternoon in st. Boniface
Hall, East Forty seventh ST. Mr.. VIM.

WHAT SHAME THAT 1T SHOULD BE
NEcEssARY.-The Legislature of the
State of New York has passed law,
which the governor signed, making it
a misdemeanor, punishable by fine
and imprisonment, for the proprietor
of any hotel or public conveyance to
discriminate against any person on
the ground of creed, color or race.
This is designed to protect Hebrews ;
but surely it ought not to be neces-
sary to put any such law on the
statute book. There are obiectiona-
BILE Jews just as there are undesirable
Christians, but it is disgraceful that
the race should be objected to rather
than the individuals who make the
trouble. There are many ways of
getting rid of unwelcome guests.
Higher prices, hint that their room
is more desirable than their company,
will usually get rid of Objectionable
people. But race prejudice should
be frowned down, both by law and
public sentiment. We can all recall
the time when colored people were
not allowed to travel in street cars or
to enter hotels, and they would be
mobbed if they occupied a seat in a
fashionable theatre. Happily this is
no longer the case, and the prejudice
of color, judged by the present feel
ing compared with that of twenty
years back, is gradually but surely
dying out.-From Denorest's Monthly
for august.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1881.

SOME OF THE WESTERN PAPERS have
been going for Jere Blacks scalp
quite lively. Witness the following
from the indianapolis Leader:
Colonel R. G.. Ingersoll and old
Jerry Black do their best to demolish
the Christian religion in the August
atlantic. Colonel Ingersoll assails it
IN his characteristic way, while old
Black covers it all over with slime by
a very damagingly hypocritical de-
fence. If there is nobody to defend
the religion of Christ but this old
pro slavery reprobate, His disciples
will soon be crying, God save us
from our friends In his reply to
Ingersoll, Black makes labored de-
fence of human slavery, claiming that
it was Divine institution. The cause
OF religion has indeed fallen into bad
hands when such old Bourbon flats
as Jerry Black take tilt in its favor.
The sprightly Washington Sunday
Item pays its respects to him as fol-
lows: "Of Jeremiah S. Black we have
not the highest opinion, either politi-
cally or religiously; we have no re-
spect for any white Christian or black
one either, who will seek to convince
intelligent people that slavery-hu-
man slavery is or was a divine insti-
tuition, or that it was sanctioned by
the Supreme Being; such declara-
tons are base hbels upon Christianity
and its author, and an insult to the
enlightened age in which we live.
The man who has done the most
harm (if any harm has been done at
alb is Jeremiah S. Black, whose SYM
pathies and feelings, whose influence
and aid, have always been at the ser
vice of that class of Christians at the
South, who firmly believed in the doc
trine that the NEGRO had no rights
which white men were bound to re-
spect. That the Almighty himself
was partlceps cramanis i'll furthering
and propagating in this land of the
free and home of the brave, the hell
black institution of slavery. The spirit
of the divine law teaches no such base
and Infamous doctrines. The perver-
sion of the scriptures to meet the
wants of lazy and indolent class of
milk and water Christians at the South
In ante-bellum days, is matter which
they must themselves settle at the bar
OF a righteous and just God. In point
of intellectual ability jeremiah S.
Black is no match for Robert G.. In
gersoll he is to Ingersoll in this re-
spect what lamp-post is to the Wash
ing monument.

SIR. Leroy T.. Newell, citizen OF Fourth
Ward, was found dead In his bed yesterday
afternoon, at bis home at the corner OF Low
street and Browns alley. He was cooper
by trade, and had been at work up TO the
hour Of dinner, and no one heard him make
any complaint OF feeling unwell. On bis
way TO bis home he conversed with several
people, and seemed In his usual bealth.
About half an hour after he entered bis
room he was found lying across his bed,
with bis hands folded on his breast, dead.
The coroner's inquest threw no light upon
the ciuse OF death.
The Cockade City Boat Club has deter
mined to challenge the Olympcs, OF Rich
mond, to contest at Petersburg, with
view to settling the question OF merit OF
the respective crews. The Petersburg
crew do not think that they had fair show
ing In the recent race at Richmond, en- ac-
cident at the very start throwing their boat
several lengths behind the others in the
race. The challenge, OF course, Is to be
friendly one, and given with q view to
having a strictly fair race between the two
clubs.
1t is reported from Weldon that two Pc
tersburg Indies have Just been made wives
10 that town, so popular with young Viz
GINA couples seeking matrimony. In one
instance the groom comes from Ddnville; in
the ether from Richmond.
Reports received from some OF the upper
counties represent that no rain OF any con-
sequence has fallen In some sections since
the 1st OF June, and that vegetation is SUI
iering severely in consequence-the corn
crop especially. In this immediate section,
while rain is needed, there has as yet been
no actual suffering for the want OF it.
Colonel William p. CraighiIl designs ma

ment, but this will doubtless be made clear

Retribution.

The columns OF the Dispatch testify that
we take no stock 10 the belief that Mr.
CosKLrNG, or Mr.. ARTHUR, or any other
man, was accessory before the fact to the
crime perpetrated last Saturday by the
wretch GUIrEAU. We may say that we
knop that no public man was concerned in
that crime. The assassin is "luney "
slaIwart Just now; but be was ready, nc
doubt, 10 profess TO be as strongly 10 favor
OF the Administration as any other man II
by that profession be could have secured the
Office be so eagerly sought.
Nevertheless, we cannot but feel that to
be accused OF being The patrons OF an assas'
sin must recall to the minds OF some OF the
victims of that terrible SANDER their own
declarations in 1885 when Mr.. LINCOLN
was assassinated, and when a whole people
were held up to the execration OF mankind
as In some sort responsible for the act Of
the fanatic BOoTH. So also last fall Mr.
CoYKLING did not hesitate to speak OF tht
southern people as enemies OF the republic
and despicable characters that deserved NJ
soft words from any mans tongue. "TheI
tell us, he said 10 substance, that the Soutt
is powerless TO do the nation hsrm-tha
with northern general as President, there
Is nothing to fear. But who is TO brain thi
southern dog II he should get looseS" Ii
another speech, he represented the southern
people as worse than the men guilty of th'
massacre OF Glencoe. His present condl
ton will serve as warning TO Mr.. CoNK
LANG never again to SANDER his southern
brethren as he has heretofore done. III
must now realize what crime against so
cIal order It Is to attempt to iBhame th
minds OF the ignorant and thoughtIess will
hatred OF their own coun,rymen; and w
believe that be will never again sin in thi
