The letter of Mr.. Pnwderly,

of Labor, printed in another col,
umn explains itself The "nlgger

more interest among newspaper
men in Richmond than the cause
OF labor. The introduction OF
Mr.. Powderly to his audience by
a colored member of his order and
the latter's visit to a Richmond
theater has kicked ur all this rum
pus about the social equality OF
colored people with white folks
We think there has been too
much social equality already prac
ticed, Judging from the adInixture
of Negro aud whi blood around
Richmond and throughout the
south. Powderly's letter has the
ring of the true metal about it.

of race prejudice. 1t is natural
that his sentiments would be dis
tasteful to aristocratic southern
notions. Men cling tenaciously
to established customs and forms

laborlng men of any race are re-
garded only as the mud,ills of So
ciety nothing less should have
been exL ected as the result of Mr..

NEGROES REFUSED ACCOM-.
NOTATION.
Editor of the BEE:

Otf -
In your issue of the 9th inst,
you published, what is alleged to
be, true statement of the indigni-
ty at DJnnely's saloon few ev-
enings ago. The fact that the par
ties in charge refused to serve us
is, of itself, sufficiently humiliat-
ing without the additional insult
contained in your publication in
which you appoligize for and de-
tend Donnely's course. 1t is not
"a fact as stated i'll your article,
that only ladies, or gentlemen &C
companled by ladies, are served in
the upper saloon. On the evening,
and a few minutes before we en-
tered Donnelly's, two white men,
neither of whom we're as respecta-
BILE in appearance as were the gen
tlemen Of our party, went into the
genlleman's saloon and seeing a
number of C )lOred men there, re-
fused to be served with them where
upon they, (the white men) were
politely asked to walk up to the
ladies saloon where they were be-
ing served at the time we enter
ed.
There is truth in the charge that
this man Dounely refuses to en-
tertain colored people, without re-
gard to sex, in the ladies saloon.
The waiter distinctly and repeated
ly told us that he had positive
instructions from Donnelly not to
serve any colored people up stairs !;
that if colored people wished to be
served they must go down stairs,
and that lie intended to obey his
orders. Tuis waiter seemed to uu-
derstand the situation a little bef-
ter than the writer of the article re-
ferred to. If the Editor of the
BEE wishes to verify this state
ment / advise him to take Mrs.
Chase to this saloon and see how
well he will be treated. Donnelly
experienced much trouble in secur-
ing the signatures OF a sufficient
number of real estate owners when
be applied for a license to carry on
his business. | have been inform
ed that the colored property OWL
ers who were called upon to sign
his application refused to do so until
be gave assul ances that no discrim-
inatiOn OH account of color would
be made in his saloon. How faith
fully he has kept this promise his
instructions to his attendants will
show.
1t will be just as well for the col
ored property owners on 14th ST.,
from Ell to l sts., to bear it in mind
that Donnelly's license expires on
the last day of the present month,
Very respectfully,

CUBA FREE AT LAST.

of the Sth inst. reports that the
Queen Regent of Spain signed the
decree emancipatiug all the slaves
In Cuba from tie remainder of
their term of seryitude. Two
hundred thousand slaves are thus

Thus the world moves on. Thus

a single stroke of a pen has been

to that of free men, women and

GIVEU A CHANCE.

The question with which the
colored people are COZ cerned is
when will the time come when
they will be considered able to
think and act for themselves?
For upwards of two and half
centuries he whites have assumed
to take complete charge OF the
colored people. They assumed
,he high privil' &c of urgently i'll
viting him to this country to help
huilI up its Institutions, make it
flourish in rich cotton, rice aud
tobacco halvests and to make it
the great heaven to which refu-
gees from e stern oppression, ty-
ranny and busin SIS stagna ion,
may fird peace and prosperity,
WITHOUT any particular manites-
tatinns of joyous assent the gr. al
ships brought the Negro 10 this
country aid although he has
shown bo b disposition and ca.
pacity to accomm 'date himself to
The society in which he lives he
has been nevertheless uLder the
Surveillance and special guardian
ship of his white brother. The
condition which surrounded the
colored people before the war,
we're su b as not to mike them
highly intellectual; but their re-
liglous, moral and 81 ci al instinc S
developed and asserted themselves
and prepared the way for the
speedy IN eIlectual growth which
were pro luced by the results of the
war. AS "a consequence tue ad-
vancement of the colored pc ,ple
has been sufficient, even un Ter
many depressing aud stubbornIy
adverse iicumstances, to entirle
him to full cltizenship. We do
not urge his advancement as
plea f,r his rights. for under the
constitution, no particular quail
fcations are ne, essary, excepting
those which establish proper resi-
dence and sanity. We speak of
his quail Fl cations as constituting
an additional claim to full citizen
ship.
But Notwithstanding this the
colon ed people are held aloof and
are tleal,d in all respects as in
trud, rs or al ems or as intruding
aliens. In addlt Oh to this, they
are treated as though they were
very dangerous commodity and
must be handled with great care
and caution and permitted to ex-
ert but little influence. The So
cialist, the nihilist, the Turk the
skum, Incidence and ignorance
and disease of foreign Countries
may come TO this country and have
guaranteed the rights and equities
of which the full American citizen
may well boast, but the colored
man-who was born here, labored
Tor two Hundred aud fifty years
without reward or hope thereof,
whose labor pr 'duces 500 millions
of wealth every year, WHO has
done valiant service in every war
for the preservation of the Union
and the institutions of this coun-
try--is looked upon as dangerous
aud unfit to contribute to proper
force in the representation of the
government.
Notwith- -tanding this, the useful
ness of the colored people in some
resp' cts is appropriated. When it
was essential to have his votes, he
was protect, d even by bayonets,
bus when he was no longer needed
he was left detenseless aud desert

FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON. April 29


 SENATE.-Mr. Pike obtained unanimous consent to take up the Fourth of July claims bill. After some discussion the reading of the ninety y-fourth page of the bill was omit ted. Some objection was made by Messrs. Ingalls, and Plumb to the item recommended by the committee to reimburse the estate of Ayres P. Merrill, of Mississippi, $67, ,O0O for supplies to the United States army during the war. Messrs. Hoar, Pike and Dawes vouched for Mir. Merrill's consistent loyalty, which was endorsed by General Grant and other Union officers. The item was agreed to and the bill passed.
 The postofice appropriation bill was then taken up and MT. Beck took the floor. Mir. Beck was frequently interrupted and led to branch off into his well known views on free trade, etc. A good part of the time was taken up in running debate with Mir. Frye and Mir. Dawes on these questions. At one point MT. Edmunds made the is sue that free trade had not benefited the wages paid in England compared with America. MT. Beck held that other condi- tions besides tariff accounted for this differ ence. He admitted that wages were better here, but it was in spiie of the tariff. MT. Beck occupied the floor, though with consid- erable interruption, three hours and half MT. Hale then advocated the appropriation of $500, 900 for carrying mails to South Amer ica and China, which he held would increase our foreign commerce. He yielded for an

The Death Trap a4EastLee,

P1rrsF1ELD, April a9,-Civil EngineerWal- ter Watson has examined the broken dam at Mud Pond, East Lee, whose bursting last week cost the hamlet $200,000 and seven lives. He found the pond located mile from the main road in thiokly wooded district shut off completely from public observation. The dam consist ed of boulder wall with an earth bank backing it. It was built on g mud bottom without foundation. This bottom consisted of foot of swamp mud under which was a strata of blue clay. The dam was fifteen feet high and three hundred and ten feet long, It was twenty seven feet thick at the bottom, six feet thick at the top. The bould- CT wall, which was the only element of substantially in the miserable structure, was only five and one-half feet thick at the bottom and three feet thick at the top. MT. Watson says his only wonder is that the dam did not give away years ago. He would not have believed that it could have stood its own weight, to say nothing of the pressure of water against it. He characterized it as a most iimsy structure
