Colored PeCple Agitated.

The colored people throughout the country
are greatly agtated over the decision of the
United states Supreme court declaring the
clVlI rights bill unconstitutional In many
places the excitement Is spoken OF as even
greater than at the time OF the famous bred
scott decision. Richard Green, the prominent
coiored LAWYER OF Washington declares that as
rule, the Negro would rather be deprived OF
political privilege than social ones. He claims
the coiored people can live without suffrage
but that In this age social recognition is an
absolute necessity. Register Bruce OF the
treasury says: at Is a most upfortunate de-
cisioD, and grieves me and thousands OF others
very much. think its effect will be to carry
the country backward fifteen yeaIs at least.
1t does not r, fleet the sentiment OF the people
as court decision ought to do, and IT Is I'm my
opinion, revival OF Calhoun's theory OF state
rights. When asked as to its effect upon the
co!ored. race Bruce Gays he cannot predict.
But do say that nothing has occurred siuce
the war to enbarass and discourage them so
much as this decision.
John +. Cook (colored), collector Of taxes,
says that he does not regard the decision In the
same light as Douglass, that 1t Is step back
ward In the progress OF civilization He does not
think pubic sentiment any more antagonstic
TO the colored people than when the law was
passed. On the contrary, he thinks IL has
made progress. Nor does he think the decision
viii In any manner be an injury to the colored
race, except, perhaps, in localities where igno-
rance pre'ails. The standing, morally and So
cially, OF the colored men and women is TO be
measured by their desire for education and
mental culture

Too Intimate with 4 King.

AT the outbreak of the Franco-Prus.
sian war, Mr.. Dana engaged William
Howard Russell, then of the London
Times, the Times being perfectly will
ing that Mr.. Russell should earn S15
600 year for giving out his letters in
| duplicate TO a newspaper printed 3, 900
miles away from tho Times office.
"Mr. Russell, after accepting IN en-
gagement at Sl5. 900 year to write for
the san. wrote to Mr.. Dana asking how
he should send his letters.
:" BY cable, was Mr.. Dana's cable
gram 10 the distinguished military
critic.
Now everybody knows that William
Howard Russell's letters, whether from
the Army of the Potomac or from any
other point. will average from 5000 to
10000 words, and Mr.. Russell, finding
himself engaged to telegraph so vol
uminously 10 little two-cent newspa-
per in New York City, undoubtedly
said to himself: If / have employers
so enterprising it behooves me to stir
myself, and show them that | am
worthy rs much as their enterprise
would seem to demand that l should
be- And, by the force of habit, he
forthwith posted off for King William,
not then, the reader of course will un-
derstand, the Emperor.
"Well, the old king pretended to be
surprised when Mr.. Russell entered his
tent, rs though William Howard Rus
sell could cross his lines and he not get
notice of the approach of such n man.
al am glad to see you, sir, and
welcome YOU as the most renowned of

king inquired.

" oh! no! no! That would be Civ
ing information to tho enemy. Thought
you had come to be my historian of the
war;
THE result was, If month after that
Russell had telegraphed line to either
of the two great journals by which he
had been employed he might possibly
have been suspected of violating the
confidence of the king. He was trapped.
He necessarily became the kings his
torian of the war, and the London
Times and the New York Sun did no

war.

REPORTS in the English papers Just
received indicate that the cattle disease
is spreading rapidly. According to the
London Globe, in Not:inghamshire ev-
cry petty seasonal division is now IN
fected; and in six out of the seven there
had been fresh outbreaks within week.
A similar account comes from Cheshire,
where there was said to-be no fewer
than four hundred and fifty-eight ami
mails suffering from foot-and-mouth
disease. Iu Sussez the contagion is ev-
identity spreading, and Derbyshire it has
been communicated from large flock
of sheep to herd of horned beasts
The consequence of this state of things
is that the executive committee of the
Farmers Alliance thinks it time to
speak out in no doubtful tones. 1t has
unanimously passed resolution in ia
vor of absolutely closing British ports
against cattle imports from place which
are not known to be free of disease. 1t
declares that it would be better to have
no restrictions upon the removal from
place to place of suspected cattle than
the present inadequate though vexa-
tious rules and it calls upon the Gov
eminent to bring in at the earliest OPP
portunity bill substituting an efficient
law for the one which has so conspic-
ouslY failed.
