THE REPUBLICAN PARTY vs.. The NEGROES.
We quoted yesterday a paragraph from the
Washington Post on the subject Of the
prospect of the passage by the present
Congress of a national election law, and
vouchcd for that paper as an independent
Republican journal. Here Is some more Of
its truthful talk:
After every election Republican states
men indulge in a great deal Of talk about
legislation for the protection OF the colored
voters of the South.
THE truth of the matter ~ that there j.
probability that anything will be done
I'm that line hy the present Congress. there
was a time when the Republicans had the
power 10 enact such legislation II 1T was
needed, and surely there was much more
necessity for il years ago than there IS now.
II was the Republican party that forced
suffrage on the cOlOrcd people OF the south
ern States. IL there be cause now Tor pro-
lection of this class Of voters, there was ten
times the cause ten years ago, during what
was known as the turbulent times M the
South. The protection was then denied
them. The Republican party did not haVo
the courage TO stand by the colored voters.
IL is loudest in its championship just be-
fore an election, when talk about the sup
pressed vote is supposed 10 be good cam
paign thunder.
"Tho plain truth Of the matter is that
the Republican party has never stood by
either the white or the colOrcd Republl-
cans OF tho South. IL assumes an air OF
superiority over the former and an at.i-
tude of indifference toward the latter
Once in four years the southern Rcpubil-
can. both white and black. Is man aud
brother, and that Is when he appears as a
delegate at a national nominating convea-
ton"
Such utterances indicate that there are
northern men even in the Republican par
" who understand that the negro problem
,s full Of intrcacies. and that as nobody
has suggested method Of solving it which
commends itself 10 the approval even Of
the people of the North. the Government
can do nothing better than 70 leave It 20
the people of the South to settle. Let the
doctrine Of evolution have full course. The
law Of the survival of the fttest applies as
well to political methods and patriotic OK
pedients as 20 the physical world. The
best plan Of settling the negro question
will be evolved in due time. In the mean
while our brethren OF the North must have
patience. Rome was not built in day."

The Springfield (Mass) republican, in
commenting upon Senator EDMUNDs's bill
looking to the founding of national
university at Washington, says:
There is no consensus Of opinion among
educators whether private or government
endowment is the wiser plpn for the coming
American university, tut it is very doubt
ful whether Washington is the place for
one supported and controlled by Congress.
1t would furnish fine combination for

A University supported by Congress,
whether located at Washington or else
where, would soon become political ma
chine.

4 Decision in the Case of Wet and Dry
Tho Ladies Memorial Association.

IrDcclhl tolN@t an " t4' bt9bRt~1.i
LYNcHBURG, Va, December Judge
Diggs, in his decision this morning in the
" wet-and-dry" case, decided that the pc
tition should be revised before he could
act on il. Out of 1874 names on the petit.
ton 800 were negroes. the majority Of
whom could not sign their names, and 1t
was not shown that any one had authority
TO sign for them. About twenty had signed
twice and q number were not qualified
voters. This decision lnyalidated a large
number of signatures, and the Judge re;
turned the petition for amendment and
such other action as the petitioners choose
totake. The Judge IS further Of the opinion
that rs the right of petition IN the matter
was confined by law on a certain restricted
class OF people-to wit, duly-Qualifed
voters-it might be necessary, IN case their
qualification as voters were challenged, for
the petitioners to show by the certificates
OF registrars that they were duly qualified.
The iocal-option side say they will inme-
diately petition in proper shape for pre-
sentation to his Honor about next Thurs
day

Things Are Lookin. Very Blue for Ives
 and Stayner-Woodruf Confessing.
 NEW YORK. Feb 2S.-E. Wilson Woodruff, former secretary for Ives X Stayner. has turned states evidence and is making full confession of al he knows about the sharp tinanciering of the two partners, which re- suited in the wrecking of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad. This move will place the two defendants in very tight place and insure Woodruff from sojourn i'll state's prison.
 Woodruff was closeted in Assistant Dis trict Attorney Parker's room yesterday, die tating recital of the alleged deals of which he has cosnizance to a stenographer. Out side of lhe presenting officers room door stood Detective Herman, who has had charge of Woodruff since his arrival from Newark. President Dexter, of the Cincinnati Hamil- ton and Dayton road, and Treasurer Short were in and out of the grand jury room dur ing the morning, having been before that body giving evidence, which, it is believed, will result i'll the handing down of further in dictmentS against Ives X Stayner.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2S.- While Prohibition was under discussion in the house, Representa- tive Willard charged that the Republicans were acting the part of hypocrites in their anti-liquor attitude. Representative Stanley made reply to Willard's remarks and Willard rejoinei with considerable bitterness, in terms redecting upon his colleague Representa- tive Linck interrupted by asking the speaker if Willard had not called Stanley q jar. Willard answered that he had not. At thls Linck advanced down the aisle in great eN- ctement and said: "Yes, you did; you called him liar, but you can't call me oae," aud as he uttered the sentence he struck Willard n singing blow i'll the face. Willard was about to strike back and the members gath cred around the belligerent gentlemen pre- pared to join i'll a fight, when the speaker got control of the body and ordered all back to their seats.
 As soon as Linck cooled down he apologizcd for the assault, saying that he regretted 1t deeply and that it occurred ill a moment of passion while he was smarting under Will lard's supposed insult to Stanley.

MASSACHUSETTS, RAILWAYS.
The State Commissioners Make Some
 Valuable Suggestions.

BOSTON, Feb. 2S.-The annual report of the Massachusetts railway commissioners was submitted to the legislature. It maintains the position of the board in its advocacy of the heating of cars by steam, and urges tho neces- sity for better car wheels, a more rigid sys- tenn of inspection and the adoption of better kinds of switches. It also urges that guard rails be placed on all bridges.
 A considerable portion of the report is taken up in describing accidents to tres passers, and the report asks if something can not be done to prevent the enormous number of accidents to individuals, which last year amounted to l96 over half of which resulted fatally. The number has been increasing almost every year since 1872 when the num- Der was eighty-two.
 The board asks for legislation to prevent trespassing and to enforce the existing laws on the subject. The matter of grade cross ings is fully discussed and recommendations for their abolition are made. The proportion of passengers killed through causes beyond the control of the railway companies was one ill ,473, ,S67, and of those injured in the same way one in 494, ,413. The number of employees killed and injured was one in 174. The mile age of all roads reporting to the board has in- creased ninety five miles. The capital stock has increased $601, ,290, and the gross debt SS, Ss4, ,262. Tho total of incomes has increased s, ,l55, l65 and the total of expenses S5, 50l ; 45S.

TO DRIVE OUT THE BOODlERS.

That Is the Object of MT. Weldon's Bill.
 Also to Keep Future Boodlers Out.
 OTTAWA, Feb 2S.-ln the house of ccln- mons Dr. Weldon explained the provisions of his cxtradition bill, which enlarges the list of extraditable offences. The dreys of Mexico and the United States are settling Ill Canada, owing to her geographical position. This is the result of a narrow international arrange ment with the United States The extradi- tion treaty really covers only seven offences Within forty fifty years great increase in crime has taken place. The ambassadors of both countries are not alive to the necessity of abolishing the anticipated Ashburton treaty. It is within the power of the Cana dian parliament to set ill motion machinery which will drive out criminals who are en- toying an asylum here He wanted the gov ernment to be vested with power to hand over these offenders to the countries having no extradition treaty with England. The bill was read a first time.
