(CT9CXAL mmw TO TM mt] FLOSBTOB, 8. a, Friday, Jan? 18.-Tho first .locution in South Carotin*, under the new RadicaJ State Government, took place to-day* At h tii-p??t four o'elcxsk thia afternoon, Coach ?MU, a negro moderar, paid the penalty ol t Us crime at Darlington Courthouse. The [ ?root waa attended with considerable excite? ment tarooghout thia and the adjoining coun? ties, especially amor)g the colored population. The whites, too, had their interest aroused hy the fact Out the Bheriff and most of the other officials wbo were to act on the occasion were negroes. " The following is a brief statement of the BTBTOBI OF IBS CASS. Cyrus Coachman, colored, was convicted be? fore Judge Rutland, at the last term of court in Darlington, of the murder of Robert P. Saggs, colored, near Florence, on the 10th of January. 1869, and sentenced to he hanged. The execution of the sentence was delayed, in order to allow time Xor an investigation of the case by the Governor, to whom a petition for pardon was made. The Governor, as is bis pian now with ali snob oases, applied to the judge for his opinion on the case.,. Judge Bat land wrote an opinion, and also Bub mit ted au outline of the testimony, which was volumin? ous. The murdered roan-Suggs-was clerk in a store, and was murdered hy a party of five persons for the parp?se of Bloating the gooda in the store. Same of the goods were found with Coachmao-in his boase and shoat it. Hs explanation was that he bought them from one of the other mar-one who was not caught. It war clearly proven that Saggs was murder? ed by one of a party of fire, and two witnesses identified Obacbaan- Savons of that five, al? though it could sot. be proven that ho dealt I the xhtal blow. His bein j present, aiding and abetting, ia as cenolusive against him io law 1 as if he were proven to have himself done the 1 deecL. All the witnesses concur in proving ; Coavenman to hare been present. Judge Bat- 1 land describes Coachman as having a bad face, 1 and toe homicide aa a most dazing, unpro voksd and premeditated act. The oase was well defended; hat Coachman < was convicted mainly apon negro evidence, 1 and by a jury partly composed of colored m6u. i : THI OBOUllD or APPEAL I lor Executive clemency consisted almost en- < lardy in a feeble doubt aa to identity. At the < .coroner's inquest, at which Edward .Jackson, < colored-who was sis? tried xor the morder < along wit hacochinan-was present and Ooaah- t man waa not, one witness*. Windham, swore t Mist Jackson was the m orderer. Windham ' seems to have relied entirely in this identifica- c Mon apon the coat that Jackson wars at the * inquest, swearing then that the coat was the ? asme as that worn by the murderer. When, c however, Windham was confronted with Jack? son (without that coat j sad Coachman to- 1 getter io court, be swath that the murderer I waa Coachman, and not Jackson. Besides, c Jackson proved an alibi. So that there re- c Stained not even a shadow of support for a pe- ? ti?op; ye, a po t j yon was nade, After % care? ful Mhsideratlon of Judge Rutland's opinion, together with the evideno9 in detail, the Gov- 1 ernor declined to interfere farther io Coach- 1 man's behalf with the regalar operation, of the 1 kw. I The jail at Darlington Courthouse having 8 beexkdestroved by fire, the prisoner has been 1 confined for sosie time pas? in the jail at 1 Marion Courthouse, whence he was brought to 1 Darlington on IiurBday afternoon. The ne- 1 gfoes in the neighborhood for two days past ' have been very mach excited, and threatened > .to prevent the execution, so the sheriff som- ' monea .all.the atisene to mount guard last 1 night, bat no interf?rence wes attempted. i T?JS raXBOHKB HAKES A TOLL COKFESSION. ' Daring the night ead early this morning the I prisoner told several diff?rent stories in re- 1 gard to tho morder, bat at ll o'clock to-day. Captain 8. H. Dargan, who was appointed by 1 the court to defend the prisoner, called upon bim, when he made a confession, implicating negroes who had not heretofore been known in connection with the crime. Prominent among them is an ID te Dise nt mulatto rascal named Howe, who was formerly deputy sheriff, and who was ene of the principal witnesses for the State in the case. The confession was taken down by a magistrate, and warrants for the ar? rests of the parties implicated have been made ont. The confession ls as follows : . Charles Howe organizad the party that kilt? ed buggs about ten days before the murder. Moses Williams, Perry Oreen, lom Oreen, lim Evans, John Marilee and myself were the psarty- Howe and Evans did not go to the Store; all the rest did and had guns, excepting me and Hadlee. The plan was to hold 8uggs and then rob the store. When we got to tbe store. Williams jumped on the counter to seize bim, bat they suddenly ab&ndo ed this plan, and determined to kill him. Williams then batted me bis gan, and asked me to go oat aide and shoot Sugars. I refused, and so did another fellow, woo was also asked. He then told Tom Green to shoot Saggs. I did not see Greco ?o oat, but suddenly a gan was fifed through . ie window from oat side and Susgs fell dead. Green came inside and Haidee and me ran oat and hid in the - bjft?he* near a tones corner. The goo ls torown oat of the store were pat in bags and carried to the house of a negro named Merni ty, and were equally divided. After this, (ach one gave a portion lo Howe. Andrew Jackson was not with us. A few days afterwards Howe came to my house and said that son? one had told upon rae. and advised my wif j to hide the goods in the bed and under tbe boase, which she did. Howe went off. bat caine back shortly after with Evans wbo said he came to arrest me, and Howe then pointed out where tho goods were bid. sogtrxs Birosx THE EXECUTION. Tho time'appointed for the ex?cution was ' between the hoars of 10 A. M. and 5 P. M. in : the forenoon a crowd of about five hundred : negroes, men, women and children, and some one hundred and fifty whites, assembled in tho neighborhood of the gallows, which had been erected in the reir of the jail, and about lae centre of toe town. Here they waited patiently until 8 P M., when the condemned iras marched from his temporary prison, sor rmnded by a guard of seventy men, thirty of whom were negroes, all armed with guns and pistols, and ender command of the colored 3fcff, T. C. Cox, and his deputies, John W. lae, white, and Joe Calvin, colored. A coffin was horns by four negroes io front of the condemned and the cocked hat .nd B word of hie Union League company were carried by two others, The prisoner was dressed m a white robe and stocking feet, with Isaac Brooking too, & M. Pinokney and James Hamilton, (the negro ministers who had been with him since yesterday) beside him singing hymns. He waited steadily to the place of execution, about one hundred and fifty yards distant, where he was seated. The gallows consisted of two upright poets, with a cross beam and a trap five and a half feet from the ground. The trap being too low, a pit one and a half feet deep was dug for the trap to swing into. After a hymn by the minister, Coachman mounted the ladder accompanied bj Cox and Lee. The sentence of the court, and the respite of the Governor from tb? 13th of April to the 18th of Ju oe, were read to the prisoner by Cot. Lee then read the confession, which the prisoner had made at ll o'clock A. M. Coachman pronounced it correct and sign? ed it with his mark. At twenty minutes past 4P. M. Pinokney, the minister, mounted the scaffold and said: "By request of the prisoner, the crowd will sing, 'Hark from the Tombs a Doleful Sound, My ears attend the Cry.' ' The crowd oom plied. Pinckneythen prayed, say? ing that it was a source of consola ti on to know that the prisoner felt that death had lost its sting and the grave its victory. He hiped that this lesson would be a warning to all the col? ore? people in the district. A glass of water was then brought to the prisoner, ?nd Cox be? gan to adjust the oap, bot desisted in conse? quence of tho remonstrance of the crowd. The ministers sang another hymn, during which the rope was put about his neck. At this point a dispute arose between the sheriff and his deputies and the crowd whether the prisoner should fall three feet or one and a half feet, but it was finally decided in fcvor of the for? mer distance. The prisoner then, addressing Cox, said : "Before you put on the cap, I want to say something." Permission being granted, he slid: . LAST KPKXCH OF THE CONDEMNED. Well, my friends, I have to say (''good bye 1" from five hundred throats,) I am going from you, but I do not want von to weep for me. Pray for me. I nave a friend hi Jesus Christ. Tell my .?rfc, Msrie, to meet mein Heaven. I want all of you to meet me there. I do not mud that I have to die this tie? ti, for I did not commit the murder, and if it please Almighty God, to-morrow this time 1 will be in a better placo than this. I thank Almighty God that nd person can say I have done anything against him, and I have nothing m my heart against any one. Tell Marie to meet me in heaven, and I want all of you to meet me there. The speech was distinctly uttered, but with a pause between each sentence, as if be were rasping for breath. The key to unlock the handcuffs, wae sent for, and whili waiting, the piisoner said: "I wish Mr. Wyndham was tor?, that I might tell him to tell the truth abont my being the man that committed the nur- ' 1er." [WynduaS was the wrtoen who Monti* Sed the prisoner. J . THE OLOBIN0 SCENE. At 4:25 the key came, the handcuff* taken iff, and the hands tied behind the prit- oner's back. The white cap was then put on, cad five minutes spent in adjusting the knot behind ihe left ear. The sheriff then asked the pris? oner "if he was ready," to which he replied listinctly, "yes." The sheriff then stepped , lown, th? ladder was removed, the signal given, md at 4:30 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Calvin cut ? he rope hoJding the trap with a hatchet; tbe , rap fell and the prisoner with it. His neck j ns broken by the shock. The feet of the , Korpse, in swinging around, touched the bot? ona of the pit, and s shovel was sent for to - li g the pit deeper, a negro holding the feet on , ne side during the operation. Dr. Lunney examined the corpje after it j lad swung five min?tes, and let it hang half , in hour. It was theo cut down and turned } wer to his friends for burial, lhere was only j me nervous movement of the body when the fae knot slipped to the back of the ueok. HOPES OF A RESCUE. From the time of reaching Darlington until us death the prisoner was perfectly cool. Early this morning he said, "I do cot think i'll be hung, as I belong to a league the mero? >ers of which are sworn to protect each other, ind I do not believe they will let me be bung." , Whenever a noise waa made the prisoner vould turn suddenly in the direction of it with 1 > beaming ccdDtenane9, as ii he tbought it j ras the noise of a rescuing party. He prayed , nth tho uinistera, and expressed himself late : nthe day as being conveited. Previous to 1 ibis he Boid that he was sorry Governor Scott [ iad respited him; it did bim harm as he had ;ommeaced to make his peace with Jesus, but te boon as he heard that be thought be was ?toiDg to got clear, he stopped praying right short off. OD the way to the gallows he walked firmly, and during all ol the exercises (in wbicb he took no audible part, neither in singing nor praying, the mrv?us twitching of his lips might have beau occasioned by prayer,) be was perfectly unmoved and apparently indifferent to bis fate. He was evidently impressed with the belief that he had leoeived a full pardon for all of his sins, and would, as he expressed it, soon be in a better place. The crowd behaved remarkably weil. Very few citizens witnessed the execution, lhe negro guards seemed more anxious that the prisoner should not escape or be rescued than the whites, and obeyed all orders to keep the crowd of negroes and whites back, with tbs firmness and alacrity of veteran soldiery. Af? ter the body was cut down the crowd slowly dispersed. _ NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, June 18.-The revenue returns :.re 1697.000. Boutwel! returns on TUCE day.

Minister Senor Lemus was found at his residence in Brooklyn, at a late honr, bul declined to recognize the character of the officers who presented the order, and relu jed to permit himself to be ar? rested. Ble gave hts parole to appear in the morning at court and answer. The officers acknowledged that they hod been well paid to make the arrest at that late hour, the pre* sumption being that it was intended to sub? ject hint to the personal indignity of im? prisonment al an hour when no,court was in session to take cognizance of bail. The verbiage of the bond to keep the pence is to be of good behavior towards the United States, and to refrain from any violation of the neutrality laws,, or from any breach of the peace of the United States for the term of one year. The whole proceeding was characteriz? ed by ruffianism and brutdity. Mr. Evarts ap? peared for Senor Lomas.

A terrible affair happened on the banks of Cayuga Lake on Saturday last. Two men, named Donnelly and McGuire, bal s ime dispute with regard to their physical strength. Donneliy, who ia a large, hoavily btnit man, of no particular pugiistic skii?, had troqnently boasted that be was able to "lick" McGuire, who was a ?out, way man. weighing Bomo thirty pounds less than Donnelly. Mc? Guire had a local reputation as a boxer. Each man bad a crowd of friends who eagerly can? vassed the strength of their favorites, and did everything ia their p'.wer lo brit g about a fight'. At last the preliminaries were arranged, and small sums of money were staked n pon the result. The tight took place on Saturday afternoon at Ogden's Dock, on the weet side of Cayuga Lake. Bevert.1 hundred persons were present. Seconds, releree*,* and an um? pire w*re chosen, and the figat begin. Tho first round was a loug nod a bloody one, but Donnolly was finally sent to grass. In the sec md round McGuire gave Donnelly a terrific upper cut, and D m nelly re? turned it by knocking McGuire into his corner. In the third round Donnelly foroed the fight? ing. McGuire spr .nc away from him, but was finally knocked through the ropes. The fourth round opened with siens of fatigue on the parc of McGuire. Donnelly punished him severely. The fifth round opened with tbe closing of one of Donnelly's eyes. McGuire closed in with him, and threw him heavily. The sixth, sev? enth, and eighth rounds were marked by simi? lar results. At the beginning of the ninth round Donnelly, who had been considerably Dlown, appeared to c neb his second wind, .vf tor some fibbing, be struck McGuire a pow? erful blow on the left temple. McGuire dropped to the cronnd like a bar of lead, gasping tn ice, and died. Donnelly gazed at the corpse with bloody eyes and cried : "My God, I've killed him. Uh, Jimmy, speak to me." His frunds urged bim to fly. An alarm was raised. It was said that the sheriff's offi? cers were approaching. Donnelly drew on his ooat, broke through the ri nc, and fled like a deer. He bas not since beon seen, and it is said that he is DOW in Cauada.

FULL DESCRIPTION" OF THE OPENING OF THE BOSTON PBAOE JUBILEE. Tbe Feen? in the Coliseum. Tbe special correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the most graphic and interest? ing account that we have seen of the opening day of tbe Peace Jubilee at Boston. We copy the greater portion of his dispatch : The Coliseum is built on tbs Back Bay, wbere.it takes in the open space known as St. James Park, and even extends beyond tbe boundaries of that distinguished pleasure ground. Externally it cannot be called an or nam mt, though it is not so ugly as it would have been if we had built it in New York. Imagine, if yon can, a sort of magnified and glorified Park barrack, such as wa need to see in war times, only neatly roofed and painted, and yon will have perhaps as good an idea of lt as I can convey in words. 1 spare you the figures of it?? length and breadth, the feet of lumber and the number of ten-penny nails used in its construction. I will merely tell yon that its length is only one-sixth less than that of 8t. Peter's at Borne, and its width one-third less, and it has seats for 40 OOO persons, or sixteen tines sn many as our Academy of af usia. It ls J very hard to approach the Coliseum, however, with any sense of solemnity; yen have to ron such a gauntlet of side-Bhows. Whole | streets of shanties devoted ta the sale of I apples and pop, wandering ambrolype wagons, patent swings, a circus which promises the spectacle of lovely women in ethereal tights, a score of tripods beneath which you can be weighed in a spring balance, nu? merous tents flattering their canvas ia tbs damp east breezes, and vocifer?os peddlers, tontera and exhibitors, who won't let anybody alone-are sure to pat yon in sn irreverent frame of mind before you reach the ticket J office. Bat once within the building yon for? get all this o j. tside volgsrity. Th J interior is very elegant and veiw impressive, alike by the symmetry of its proportions, the Ray good taste of its decorations. and the splendid vista which breaks upon the eye whichever way one tarns. High ap in the trussed roof han RT fes? toons of the national colors; painted drapery covers the walls; banners, pennons, portraits of composers, standards of all the States, are fastened to the tall columns and the arches. The effect is brilliant and graceful, lt does not remind yoa, as each places almost always do in oar country, of a shed at a cattle-show, bat of some stately temple decked for high festivity. Above tc? entrance is the Angel ot Peace, of a bigness corresponding to th9 ; dimensions of the whole occasion. Prop? erly sneaking, there are no galleries, but parquet, balcony and dress circle form a continuous bank of seats, rising from the ovfltre to the front and side walls. The chorus occupies a similar bank at the rear of the building, forming three walls of a square funnel, and in the pit at their feet is the monster orchestra, with the conductor at the very front. The organ stands in the middle of the choras, near the top of | the rear bank. Except for about three feet above tbe floor, lt has no case, and its huge pipes, with green dre pe tv behind them, makes an excellent background to tbe scene. The conductor's desk ia furnished with a row of j speaking tabes, by moans of which be commu? nicates his orders to tho leaders of the vari? ous divisions of the choros. Of the various ante-rooms and offices surrounding the audi? torium, tay memory hardly suffices to give a list Out of the great pit-like cen re of the Coliseum open broad passages like the gate wave to the dens of a Roman amphitheatre. Follow one and it takes you to suites of recep? tion balls, room8 for tho musicians, offices for editors, correspondents and reporters. An? other opens into refreshment saloons. An? other earlies yon beneath the stage to the bel? lows-room ander the organ. Another leads to the open air. The completeness of these mi? nor arrangements is wonderful. By hard werk, night and day the Coliseum was flOiShed ..?bis morning.. The flirt*. waa-L swept out of sight, and at 9 o'clock the whole ' orchestral band and the whole chorus had that first and last general rehearsal. Strange as it may seem, they never came all together until this, the day of performance. Meanwhile the Common Council received and feasted about two hundred members of the prcis ia one of the ante-rooms, and most of the loafers in New England huog about thc doors, trying to get va. i The performance opened a little after three o'e'eck. Lone before that hour the singers had taken their places, th? fiddlers were all m their seats, and Dr. J. H. Wilcox sat patiently at the organ. The view of the stage as you entered was highly imposing. There was a grandeur in that compact mass of more than ten thousand haman beings rising, rank above rank, in solid order, with the great organ pipes towering above them in the back-ground, and tbe monster drum, eight feet in diameter, and colored a brilliant scarlet, rising ont in the middle. The view from the opp mite direction was not so pleasant, for the seats filled up very slowly, and at no time was the building more than'three-fourths full. At three o'clock Admiral Farragut and varions other dignita? ries took the seats of honor reserved for them near the centre of the bali, and arter th? a p Slause which greeted them bad subsided, the av. E. E. IIilc began the inauguration prayer. It vi aa commendably short, and where I eat waa entirely inaudible. This, however, was uot surprising,'became as soon as he commenced all the people, in tho back scats scrambled over tho benches into the better plaoe3 beyond them. By thc time this rush was over, tbe Drayer was over, too, and so was the short ad drees of welcome by Mayor Shurtleff, and the Hon. A. H. Bies wa* well under way with his congratulations of mankind upon the restora- | tion of peace throughout the land. Mr. B:ce had preparol a very loDg speech, and sent it to tho newspapeiB in advance, but he delivered ouly a little bit of it, for it came to his cars that be would be coughed an 1 clapped down if j bc spoke longer than ten minutes. At the first ! Symptoms of impatience, which took the form of loud and long Applause in the midd e ol a sentence, he wound up, and the bnsin?as of J the afternoon began. A few chords on the organ gave the sigua I for the chorus to rise, and showed at the same time that the instru? ment, small as it looked, possessed a marvel? lous power, and also a very good quality of tone. Mr. Gilmore, the originator and principal or? ganizer of the Jubile, took tho stand amid ap? plause which bordered upon frenzy. People shouted, and waved their hats, arms, and handkerchiefs, in a way which would have astouishedaSew York, and in calm, philosophi? cal Boston, socrnrd little short of insanity ; but daring this week, as had been said before Boston means to bo insane. Many other favo? ritos had a similar reception. There was a grand uproar, lor instance, when Ol? Ball took bio seat with the orchestra, to play the first violin, Carl Rosa playiog beside him; there was a wild entasiasm for Mad ime Parepa-Roan; but tho crcatcat honors of all were paid to Carl Zerrahn. the pot of Boston, and Prince of Couuuctora. who drilled the choruses. Thc flt st piece on tho programme was Luther's fa? mous choral,sou? by nearly 10 OOO voices, with the string orchestra and organ, lt waa done with great precision, - nd seemed to settle the douotfal question whether so large a company could be brought to sing together without pro dnci g a mere babel ol' noise. The Byran of Peace and '-My Country 'Tis of Tbe'u" also went smoothly, and in general, I may say, that all tbs slvw music was successful. But I cannot pronounce the experimont of this Jubileo as altogether satistaitorr. Mear the e'ase {he npi/j? VJ? certainly load enoagb, bat people at the further enu ?f tbe building did not find tho dm quito aa awful as they expected it. To a person sitting u the front row of the balcony, opposite tuei-tn-^, the music was unexpectedly weak ia j*? effect' Ten thousand voices in the dlisc^ 80Uud n0' more powerlul than five burj^f wonl(1 g0|]na in Steinway Hall. It is, a tuistuke that the number of singera.. L*yond a certain limit, adds anything to the impression on the audience, if tho space over which their v^ces have to spread is too much enlarged. LMt year 6ne thousand people sang at the ^andel and Haydn Festival m the Boato.. V. ~ tj.i, ftnd Pro? duced a much grMterr^^^??S: SI?0.8"? to-day- ih?Mn8ifi Hftl1 ?? ^/S butactpally seemed thousands - De8ide' When *?" haVe maDy Sf pether, especially if they have xe imnop- sqwte instead of all at once, it ie \au- -4fble to make them sing delicately so ; *us they scream their loudest. It is all right W/idwl they also scream then? slowest; but 10*0 serf passages are apt to be too soft, &nd the quick ones are confused. It was precboted that even rf all sung cx ac 1/ in time tho result woa'd be a foi tag, because ep:od does not travel with s a fficient Telocity for all the voices to reach the ear at the same instant. This has proved to he true, thongh not to such a troublesome ex? tent as was feared. The chorus ie packed closely, yet it covers an area of about 800 feet square-that is to say, the voices or the rear ranks have 300 feet further to travel than the voices of the front rank, and if both start pre? cisely at the same moment, one will come m a fifth of a second after the other. This interval of time, short as it is, can be appreciated by the ear, and the least lagging on the part of those distant singers aggravates the difficulty to a distressing degree. Ia the quicker move? ments of the chorus, arranged from Mozart's Mass, everything seemed agog. In the "Star Spangled Banner," too, there was frequent contusion. In the chorals, however, no such troubles were experienced, because the voices dwell long enough on each note for everybody to eaton np. There were two solo performances by Madame Parepa-Bosa, namely. Gonn o i's "Ave Maria" and Rossini's " Inflammatns." Her pure, sweet, noble voice oame across that vast space, through the surging of 408 in? struments, and above the sound of 10.000 voices, in the choral accompaniment, with a distinctness at which I marvel and admire. Her softest notes were distinctly heard in tbe remotest corners, and the effect of en ch a beau? tiful voice coming apparently from such an immeasurable distance, waa inst chinning. The over tm os to ' TanDhaaser* and "William Tell" were played by about four hundred and fifty musicians. Neither went wau, nor produced as strong an effect aa if played by one hundred good men in an opera house. The "Coronation March" from the "Prophet" was better, but imperfect. The features of the day, however, were the "Anvil Chorus," the "Star-spangled Banner," and "My Country, Tis of Tfcee," accompanied by everv conceiva? ble device for making a noise. For the first there marched in one hundred firemen in red shirts and white capes, and placed themselves, with sledge-hammer in hand, by the side of one hundred anvils. The enthusiasm which this performance aroused I can scarcely describe. A typical Bostonian beside me jumped np in his excitement and open? ed ah umbrella. At proper intervals a battery of twelve pieces of artillery, sta? tioned just outside the doors, end discharg? ed by electrical wires, manipulated by a mem? ber of tho orchestra, lent sonorous voices to the uproar, and the city bells rang by similar scientific appliances, warned all the towne of what was g ling on. To be sure the artillery to,us inside sounded something like the clap? ping of cellar doors, and the smoke came pour nag in, and the bells we did not bear at all, but it was all very grand and noisy, and as the roof did not come off, nor the people near the stage flee in dismay and deafness, Mr. Gilmore may congratulate himself upon a grand success. It was not very good music, but it was not meant to be that The Jubilee is hardly under full way jet, and to-morrow tho crowd will pro bab'y bo greater. T&ere were present to-day about 9500 Bingers, a seleot string orchestra of 450, a grand orchestra of 900, including the se? lect one, and an audience of perphaus 12.000 or 15,000 persons. The natives are highly elated with what they have done, and they really have reason to be. CUFFES IN WASHINGTON. flegro Operatives to be Pat OB mn Equal? ity with White-Plsmisaal or Protest? ing White Printers from the Govern? ment Printing Office-1 he Order ta be Enforced In all Government Work? shops-A Suggestive Incident. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes : When the first negro was eulisted in the army of the Unitoa States upon a perfect equality with the white soldier, it was as plain j as it is now to reflective minds that either all tho barriers between the two races would be animately broi en down, or the mad career of New Ena land and Old England fanatics must be arrested by an overwhelming rebuke by the voters of the country at large, lt was, nevertheless, a difficult task to prove to the Northern laboiei i th? inevitable result in this respect of continued Radical control. The ' ballot" followed the "ballet;" equal political and civil rights quickly ensued, and perfect equably in governmental positions was there? by stealthily established. Even yet the bare? faced hes of their betrayers were behaved by the white operatives, who were lulled with the hypocritical suggestion that all these move? ments did not necessarily end in "social equali? ty." Tho time has come, however, it is iLOUR h t, when this flimsy mask may safely be dispensed with. The government "has conse? quently determined to employ all its tremen? dous power to force a companionship of races in what it pleases to term the 1 lower orders of society," and it takes no pains to conceal its design-1 The muddle among the printers hore in re? spect to the negro Douglass, which was thought by some to have been settled at Albany, ha? but served to expose the mode of operation contemplated by the administration upon a large scale. Yes terday every man re? fusing to subscribe to the doctrine of com? panionship and perfect social equality between the races was, I learn, summarily dismissed from the publio printing office, and the re maiuing workmen of the cadaverous "con? quered race" torced to leave their work, and endorse, in office hours, at a public meeting, the monstrous requirements of the superin? tendent! This is a public "proclamation,* excluding from work in this institution (which employs probably more than a thousand men) ail printers whose self-respect re volts at out and-out equality with tho negro race. The same means will be used in all tbo workshops of every description under control of the gov? ernment throughout thc countiy. Thu'policy is iu full force at the Navy Yard here, and in all other work? under governmental control. I amt ild that the government, seeing the general supineness ot the people, "calculate" upon success as necessarily following the means it intends to use in seducing this por? tion of our citizens. It will pay them high prices, and require lesa hours of labor than in private offices l Such tactics might probably succeed better with any otber class of people than our mechanics. They undoubtedly re? gard with as strict a punctilio the honor of their families as any other-certainly Kith more consideration than a majority of the high officials appointed bv this adm mis trat iou I But might ii not be as w.U for those who h ave not yet taken tbe fatal leap (whioh must forever sever them from the respect of their species) to "study," as Forney would say, "the suggestive history" of those who have ? A case m point is at band on the spot, but I f jr bear to give details. They are positively har? rowing, besides being a little disgusting. I may be excused, however, for qa-ting a legi? timate result elsewhere in htgb quarters, al? ready m ado public. The "wealthy merchant" mentioned below is known here to be a favo . rite of the present dynasty, and, it is said, in viow for a high place in foreign diplomacy. The New fork Commercial, a Radical journal, gi .es tbo particulars as follows: "A case ot considerable interest is reported as having recently occurred on tho heights, wherein tbo daughter of a weall hy mere a ant ol high stauding in the community, following tho dictates of Nature, and thc example of Desdemona, eloped with a gentleman of dusky bud. Wiio superintended tbe equine department of her paternal relative. The proof of the tedi's folly is said to bo conclusive. Lffjrta to sup? press tho promulgation of the fnctbavo proved futile. For obvious reasons, we refrain Lom giving the names ol' the parties." ??AND HE DID MANY WONDERFUL WORK>, insomne? Lbat li'P panie pronounced i? milly tongue.
