Prominent colored men throughout the
country look upon the decision of the United
States Supreme Court on the civil rights
act as serious blow to the progress
of their race. Mr.. GreeDer, the well
known Washington lawyer, pronounces
1t the most startling decision of the
Supreme Court SO far as the colored man
is concerned since the infamous bred Scott
decision. He 10 confident that The civil
rights act is good law Notwithstanding the
decision of the Court, though of course not
operative law. One of the worst features of
the decision, in his opinion. is the fact that
1t brings into prominence again the question
OF the social equality of the negro, which, If
Jeff to time and the law as 1t stood, would
have quietly settled itself. Fred Douglass
says the decision Is great step backwards
and very disheatening An examination of
the record shows that when the bill was I'M
der discussion 1t encountered considerable
opposition from the Republican Senators on
the ground that it was unconstitutional and
sever al Republican Senators voted against it
on that ground. Mr.. Carpenter of Wscon-
sin made an elaborate argument against its
constitutionality, while Mr.. Edmunds ar
gued as strenuously on the other side. The
vote against the bill in the House was con-
fined almost wholly to the Democrats, but
twelve Republicans, nine of whom were
from the South, voting against it.

Senator Blair's committee advertises for
communications on the labor question. So
far nothing has been sent in but request
from Catholic priest that the committee
investigate the food that is supplied in
boarding houses. The request ought to be
complied with. A luminous report on
boarding house hash, such as Senator Blair
would be likely to write, would be fully as
valuabls TO the country as his report on the
hash that the committee has made its men
tai pabulum for the last three or four months
is likely to be.

The New York Sun frankly informs it's
readers that it does not know anything
about Mr.. Holman's tariff views and does
not regard them of much Importance any
way. 1t does know, however, that he is a
very good man, never deadheads over rail-
roads, promptly returned five dollars which
he borrowed when boy, and even wrote
letter saying he was not candidate for Con-
gress in the ordinary Specification of the
term. The Sun points with pride to this
record, and evidently thinks 1t will be diff
cult for any other Democratic statesman to
match If

Pool sellers in all the large cities of the
country were badly taken in Saturday by a
combination of gamblers who tapped the
wires and sent false reports of the result of
the races at Jerome Park. The fact that
few Of the men who received money on the
strength of these false reports returned it
when the fraud was made known does not
give one very favorable idea of the charac-
ter of the men who bet or. horse races.

favor of tariff for the protection of the

The Argus confesses that it does not care
what sort of man General Butler is SO long
as he will devote his talent of dishonor to
the Democratic party. But the Argus ought
not to misrepresent the Press. which con-
demned Butler's character and WAYS when
he was OF its own party, not so violently ard
rancorously, as the Argus did then, yet,
with Eore sill Gritty, as the sequel has dis
covered. The Argus had nothing against
him except that he was not Democrat.
When it was accusing him of all the crimes
the calendar its motive was partizanship
not virtue. He is as wicked as he ever was,
but the Democratic party hopes to profit by
bis wickedness and the Argus halls him as
hero and reformer.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, April /, 1864.
MY DEAR S1R-On yesterday I had the
pleasure of receiving your letter of the 18th
of March. From what you say there can te
no doubt that you and are of the same fam
lily. The history of your family, as you give
it, is precisely what l have always heard.
and partly know, of my own. As you have
supposed, am the grandson of your Uncle
Abraham, and the story of his death by the
Indians, and of Uncle Mordecai then Id
years old, killing one of the Indians, is the
legend most prominent of all others imprint
ed upon my mind and memory. l. am the
son of grandfather's youngest son, Thomas.
| have often heard my father speak of his
Uncle Isaac, residing on the Watauga II
think, near where three states of Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee join. You
seem now to be some hundred miles or SO
west of there. | often saw Uncle Mordecai
and Uncle Josiah, but never in my life re-
sided near either of them. Uncle Mordecai
died in 1881 or 1882 in Hancock county, ILL.,.
where he had been recently removed from
Kentucky, and where his children had also
removed and still reside, as l understand.
Whether, Uncle Josiah is dead or living |
cannot tell, not having heard from him for
more than 20 years. When l last heard
from him he was living on Big Biue river,
Hancock county, Ind, think, and where
he has resided ever since before the begin
ming of my recollection. My father, Thorn
as, died the nth of January, 1851, in Cole
county, ILL.,, where he had resided for 20
years. | am his only child. / have resided
here and hereabouts for 90 years. | am As
years or age, and have wife and three chill
dren, the oldest II years. MY wife was
born and raised at Lexington, KY, and my
connection with her has sometimes taken
me there, where have heard the old people
of her relatives speak of your uncle Thomas
and his family. He is dead long ago, and
his descendants have gone to some part Of
missouri, as recollect what I was told.

DR.. Lincoln of this city, cousin of Abra-
ham Lincoln, has in his possession a letter
written to his father by his relative in 1854,
which sheds some light on the illustrious
statesman's family history. DR.. Lincoln's
father was at the time living in an upper
East Tennessee county. The fame of Abra-
ham Lincoln was becoming national at that
period. Mr.. Lincoln's name was Israel
and all.his relatives bore biblical names.
When the name Of Abraham Lincoln reached
his ears, he wrote him, making inquiries re-
garding his family, feeling confident that he
was a relative, aud the following was his re-
sponse:--

Is not new claimant for popular conf

saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was

There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in

for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate

and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is a
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are

Gov. Murray Of Utah In his report to the
Secretary of the Interior, cenfesses that he
is unable to execute the laws of the Terrific
ry, and recommends that it be made lawful
for the soldiers of the United States to be
used In executing the processes of the
courts. he asks also that If the Legislature
elected under the Edmunds law fail to re-
peal all laws passed by former legislatures
respecting the establishment of religion, all
statutes by which laws of Congress have
been nullifed, fail to pass laws forbidding
polygamy and furnishing all persons who
solemnize plural marriages, and providing
for neglected and desers ing wives, and fail
to recognize the sovereign authority of the
United States, then that Congress shall re-
peal the section of the organic act establish
ing such a body, aud assume control in the
government of the territory. Gov. Murray
is evidently not one of those who believe
that Mormonism will die out if let alone.
Chiefly no doubt for the benefit of Gov.
Butler the Massachusetts straight Green
hackers have sent forth a ringing decara-
ton that they are not dead as the Governor
suggested year ago, and that they will not
be ready to die until Sail money shall be is
sued full legal tender from the treasury
until the telegraph service shall become
part of the postal system;' until "rail gays
shall be run in The interest of the publ:c;;''
until ''the Infamous practice of giving pub

doned;' until equal laws. equal burdens
and equal opportunities supersede the pres
ent system of class legislation When they
have accomplished all these things TO their
satisfaction they will be ready to depart and
