the fat, which Il assumes, that The

some, it can be repealed or amended
next year. There will be trouble
enough in carrying the State election
in 1884 without loading down the
Democracy with either an absolute
repeal of the civil rights law or a
proposition to call constitutional
convention
Senator Edmunds has introduced a
Civil Rights bill, to protect colored
citizens against unjust discrimination
on account of color.
AS Judge Edmunds is regarded as
the finest Constitutional lawyer in the
Senate, he will be able to word bin
that even the prejudiced and bigoted
Judges of the Supreme Court cannot
pick flaw in; but as the Democrats
have majority in the Lower House,
there is no possible hope of such a
bill becoming the law; but there will
be first class opportunity Of placing
them on record, and showing them
up in their true colors.-Iimes
The Democrats, true to their pro
clivity for laundering, have begun the
session by attempting to seat Man
ming, of Mississippi, who was not
elected--and also to send the certifi
cate Of Mayo, Of Virginia, who has
already been sworn in, to the Election
Committee. The country has given
them an inch, and they will take an
ell-etc. Let them go it.-Hob.
Senator Riddleberger never looked
better than when he appeared on the
floor of the Senate on Monday amid
the profusion Of flowers sent him by
his admiring friends. Thomas Jeffer-
son and Patrick Henry never had
better opportunities to distinguish

Virginia, and we believe he will not
only immortalize himself in the Sen
ate, but will show that he knows no
man by his color when he comes to
discuss the questions which affect the
welfare of the nation. Bee.

stands in the sunlight of all other
Republican aspirants for the Presi-
Dental nomination. He has practi-
cally a monopoly of the presidential
boom. All factions appear to look to
him as the one man Moses of the
tribe. Mr.. Arthur understands better
than any man living the philosophy
of standing still! end waiting for
things to turn up. lie don't move
unless he is showed. He is almost as
inscrutable as General Grant, differ
ing in this, that if he knows who is
friends are other people know moth
ing about it.-GEobe.

An evidence of practical progress
among the colored citizens of Yonk-
ers, N. Y, is the erection of a fine
and commodious dwelling with mod

Our colored churches in town have
abandoned the old style of singing
aud beating time with their feet since
the purchase Of their handsome new

which is decided improvement to
the old way Of doing things.-Tampa,
