* A Washington letter relates the following
:
Tlie progress of t he social equality
of niggers with white people is making
fearful headway in this pari, of
the world. 'VUsfa/h has gone forth
from the White House that all who
expect to find favor in the eyes of
his Majesty Abraham the First must
T>c ready on all occasions to how
down and worship this idol of the
Republican party. (Jen. Butler (who
feels that hit head is in some danger
since the appointment of Gen. Smith
to command th6 troops in his department)
has just taken a step in this
direction that will no doubt res ore
him to full favor with our would be
monarch. The daily line of steam
boats which run between this city,
Baltimore and For tress Monroe, have
always had, among their rules, one

on a recent occasion But, when the
boat arrived at Forteks-Monroe, {lie
friends of the colored persons who
had been refused a seat at tin* table
complained to Gen. Butler oftho ^indignity
thus offered to one of our
colored fellow-citizens" The Hero
of Big Bethel at once issued an order
directing that in future negroes .< hould
be,allowed to sit and cat at the same
taij>lc Vitli the passengers on hoard i
ofjiliese boats, and that no distinction
whatever should be made in the treatment
of any person on account of his
color. Henceforth, therefore, the l'acli<$
and gentleman who travel on
0 ^
tlffse steamboats will have the exqui
site pleasure of sitting af the t.'iblc
side by side with filthy, greasy niggers.
