C., ?friday, June IS.--The nre-t execution in South Carolina, under the new Radi cal State Government, took place to-day At half-paat four o'clock thia afternoon, Coach man, ? negx'o murderer, paid tho penalty ot hie crime at Darlington Oouilhouae. The ' event waa attended with ooneiderable excite? ment throughout thia and the adjoining coun? ties, especially among the colored population. The whites, too, had their intel eat aroused by the ftvot that the sheriff and most of the other officials who were to. act on the occasion were negroes. The following is a brief statement of the BIBTOBX OF THJE CASE. Cyrus Coachman, colored, was convicted be? fore Judge Rutland, at the last term of court in Darlington, of the murder of Robert P. Suggs, colored, near Florence, on the 10th of January, 1869, and sentenced to be hanged. The execution of the sentence was delayed, in order to allow time for an investigation of the case hy.the Governor,. to whom a petition for pardon was made. The Governor, . as is bis plan now with all such cases, applied to the judge for his opinion on'the case. Jndge Rut? land wrote an opinion, and also submitted an outline of the testimony, which was volumin? ous. The murdered mau-Suggs-was clerk in a store, and was murdered by a party of five persons for tho purpose of stealing the goods in the store. Some of the goods wore found with Coachman-in his hoo.Be and about it. His explanation waa that he bought thom from one of the otber four-one who was not caught. It was clearly proven that Suggs was murder? ed by one of a porty of five, and two witnesses identified Coacbmxn ai one of that five, al? though it could not be proven that he dealt the fatal blow. Hie being present, aiding and abetting, ie as conclusive against him in law as if he were proven to have himself done the deed. All the witnesses concur. in proving Coachman to have been present. Judge Rut? land describes Coachman as having a bad face, and the homicide as a most daring, unpro voksd and premeditated aot. The case was well defended; but Coachman was convicted mainly upon negro evidence, and by a jusy partly composed of colored men, THE OBOTJim OF APPEAL for Executive clemency consisted almost en Hrely in a feeble doubt as to identity! At th? soi oner's inquest, at which Edward Jackson, colored-who was also tried lor the murdei along with Coachman-waa present axtd.Ooacb man was not, one ' witnesss, Windham, swore that Jacks on was the murderer. Windham seems to have relied entirely in this identifica tion upon the coat that Jackson wore at the inquest, swearing then that the coat was th( same as that worn by tho murderer. When however, Windham was confronted with Jack? son (without that coat) and Coachman to? gether in court, be swore that the murderer was Coachman, and not Jackson. Basides Jackson proved an alibi. So that there re mained not even a shadow of support for a pe ti tion; yet a petition was made. After a care ful consideration of Judge Rutland's opinion together with the evidence in detail, the Gov ernor declined to inter fer o further in Coach man's behalf with the regular operation of tb law. The jail at Darlington Courthouse bavin) been destroyed by fire, the prisoner has beei confined for some time past in the jail a Marion Courthouse, whence be was brought t Darlington OQ Thursday afternoon. The nc groes in the neighborhood for two days pas have been very much excited, and. tbreatene to prevent the ex?cution, so the sheriff sum moued , all the citizens to mount guard lat night, but no interference was attempted. THE PBI80NER MAKES A FOLL CONFESSION. During the night and early this morning tb prisoner told several different stories in r< gard to ibo murder, but at ll o'clock to-da; Captain E. K. Dargin, who was appointed b the court to defend the prisoner, called upo him, when be made a confession, implicatin negroes who had not heretofore peen kuown i connection with the crime, Prominent arnon them is an intelligent mulatto rascal name Howe, who was formerly deputy - sheriff, an who was one of the principal witaesses for th f State in the .case. The confession was take 1/down by a magistrate, and warrants for the a: r rests of the parlies implicated have been max i out. The confession is as follows : Charles Howe organized the party that ki] ed Bogers about ten days before the murde Moses Williams, Perry Green, Tom Green, Oit Evans y John Marilee and myself were tl party. Howe and Evans did not go to tl store; all the rest did and bad gone, exeeptii nie and Murilee. The plan, was to hold 8usr< and then rob the store. When we got to tl store. Williams jumped on the counter to sei: him, but they suddanly abandoned this pla and determined to kill bim. Williams th? handed me bia gun, and asked me to go or sido and shoot Suggs. I refuged, abd so ? another fellow, wno was also asked. I then: told Tom Groen to shoot buggs, did not see Groen go out, "bat sudden a gun was fired through the window from ot side and Snags fell dead. Green, came insi and H ar doo and me ran oat and hid in t bushes near a tonoe corner. The gool* throw out of the store were pat in bags and carril to tbe house of a negro mmod Merhity, ai were equally divided. After thia, each o gave a portion to Howe. Andrew Jackson w> not with ne. A few days afterwards Hoi? came to my house and said that some one lit told upon me, and advised my w?fa to bide tj goods in the bud and under tho house, whit she did. Howe went off, but datte back ebon after with Evans .who said he came to arre me, and Howe then pointed ont where tl goods wore hld. . BOZMIS BKFOHJS TBS KXEOOTION. The time appointed for the execution w between the hours of 10 A, M. and 5'P. M. tho forenoon a crowd of about five hunch negroes, men, women and Children, and soi one hundred and fifty whites, assembled the aelgbbofnosdof the gallowa, whioh li been erected In fha rear of tho jail, and atx the centre of the town. Here- they wait patiently until 8 P. M., when the condemn was marched ; hom Vi? temporary prison, a rranded bj a guard cn seventy men, thirty Whom were negroes, all traed with guns a pistols, and ander com m at4 of th o color sheriff, T. G. Cox, and his deputi joh?;., fr ? ff??mm ?^yH colored., A ooflftu waa borna by foy aegn tn frost oS thc condemned and the evoked j m m \ and Bword of hie Union League company were carried by two ot bora. The prisoner Wae dressed in a white robe and stocking feet, with Isaac Brookingtoo, E. M. Pinokoey and James Hamilton? ( tho yegro ministers who had been with him eine? yesterday) beaido him singing hjmrjs. He walked steadily to the place pf execution, ?bout one hundred and fifty yards distant, where,hei was seit od. The gallows consisted of two upr i g Ut posts, with a croea beam and a trap five and a half foet from the ground. The trap being too low, a pit one and a half feet. deep waa dug for the trap to swing into,. . After a bymn.by th? 3?nist??,' Coachman mountod tho ladder accompanied by Cox and Lee. The Bontcnce of the court, and the respite of the j Govoruor from the 18th of April to the 18th ot Ju oe, wore read to the prisoner by Cox. Lee then read the confession, which the prisoner bad made at ll o'clock A. M. Coachman pronounced it correct and sign? ed it with his mark. At twenty minutes past i P. ML Pinckney, the minister, mounted fha scaffold and said: "By request of the prisoner, tine crowd will sing, 'Hark from the Tombs a Doleful Sound, My ears attoud the Cry.' ' The crowd complied- Pinckney then prayed, say? ing that it was a source of consolation to know that the prisoner felt that death had lost ile sting and the grave ita victory. He hoped that thia lesson would be a warning to all the col? ore? people n the district. A glass of water waa then brought to the prisoner, and Cox be? gan to adjust- the. oap, but desisted, in conse? quence of the remonstrance of the crowd. The ministers sang another hymn, during which the rope was put about his neck. At this point a dispute arose betw?en 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 deoided in favor of the for? mer distance. The prisoner then, addressing Cox, said : "Before you put on the oap, I want to say. Bomothing." Permission being granted, be slid: > LAST SPEEOB OF THE CONDEMSED. Well, my friends, I have to say ("good bye I" from five hundred throats,) I am going from you, but I do not want you to weep for me. Pray for mo. J have a friend in Jesus Christ. Tell my wife, Marie, to meet mein Heaven,. I want all of yon to meot me there. I do not ralod that I have to die this deatt, for ? did not commit the murder, and if lt Eleake Almighty God, to-morrow this time 1 wtD e in a better place than this. I thank Almighty God that no person can say I have done anything against him, and I have nothing in my heart against any one. Tell Morie to meet rn? in heaven, and I want al) of you to meet tue tho io. The speech was distinctly uttered, but with a pause between each sentence, as if he were gasping for breach. The key to unlock the handcuffs was sent for, and whil i waiting, the pi isoner said: "I wish Mr. Wyndham was hare, that I might tell him to tell the truth about my being the mon that committed the mur? der." [Wyndham was the witness who identi? fied the prisoner.} THE 01X3 8 Iii O SCENE. At 4:25 the key came, the handcuffs taken off, and the hands tied behind the prisoner's back. The white cap was then put oo, and five minutes spent io adjusting the knot behind the left ear. The sheriff then asked the pris? oner "if he was ready," to which he replied distinctly, "yea," The sheriff then stepped down, the ladder was removed, the signal given, and at 4:30 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Calvin cut the rope holding the trap with a hatchet; the trap fell and the pr ison or with it. His neck was broken by the Shock. The feet of the corpse, in swinging around, touched the bot? tom of the pit, add a ? shover was sent for to : dig the pit deeper, a negro holding the feet on one side during the operation. Dr. Lunney examined the corp-:o after it had swung five minutes, and let it hang half an hour. It was then out down and turned. over to his friends for burial. lhere was only one Nervous movement of the body when the the knot slipped to the back of the neck. HOPES OF A RESCUE. From the time of reaching Darlington until his death the prisoner was perfectly cool. Karly this morning he said, "I do not think TU be hung, as I belong to a league the mem? bers of which are sworn to protect each other, and I do not believe they will let me be hung." When?ver a noise was made the prisoner would turn suddenly in the direction of it with a beaming countenacee, as if he thought it was the noise of a rescuing party. He praj ed with the ministers, and expressed himself late in tho day as being converted. Previous to this he said that he was sorry Governor Scott had respited him; it did bim harm as he had commenced to make his peace with Jesu?, but I os soon os be hoard that be thought be was going to get clear, he stopped praying right short off. Qn the way to the gallows he walked firmly, and during all of th? exercises ein which ho took no audible part, neither in sieging nor praying, tho nervous twitching of his lips might have bean occasioned by prayer,) he was perfectly unmoved and apparently indifferent to pis tate-.. He was evident ry impressed with the belief th-it he hod leceived a full pardon for alf of hie eins, and would, as he expressed it, soon be in a better place. ?.< ; The crowd behaved remarkably weil. Very few citizens witnessed the execution. The negro guards seemed more anxious tba* tbs , prisoner, should not eso ape or be rescued than the whites, and obeyed all orders " to keep the crowd of negroes and whites bark, with,the firmness ?ad alacrity of veteran soldiery. Af? ter the body was cut do^a the crowd slowly dispersed. : :. <*> NEWS Flt OM WAS II INO TON. , WASHINGTON, Juno 18.- The revenue returns are $697,000.

Deadly Blow-T?? kfa>V derer Brenks Tnrowglt the Ring and K scapes, A terrible affair happened on the banks of Cayuga Lake on Saturday last. Two men, named Donnelly and McGuire, ha i s une dispute with regard to their physical strength. Donnelly, who is a large, heavily built man, of no particular puglistio skill, had frequently boasted tb at ho was able to "lick" McGu.ro, who was a stout, wiry man. weighing some thirty pounds lesa than Donnelly. Mc? Guire had a local reputation as a boxer. Each man bad a crowd of friends Who eegeriy c?n vassed the strength ot their favorites, and did everything in their power to bring about a fight. At last the preliminaries were arranged, and small sums of money wore staked upon the j result. The fight took place on Saturday afternoon at Ogden's Dock, on the webt side of Cayuga Lake. Several hundred persons were present. Seconds, referees, and an um Sire w?re chosen, and the fight began, 'he first round was a long and a bloody ene, but Donnelly Was finally sent to grass. In the second round McGuire gave Donnelly a terrific upper cut, and Dmnelly re? turned it by knocking McGuire into his corner. In the thud round Donnelly forced tbe fight? ing. McGuire spr mg away from him, but was finally knocked through the ropes. The fourth round: opened witt) sign? of fatigue pu the pan -of McGuire. Donnelly punished bim severely. The fifth round opened with the closing of ono of'Donnelly's eyes. McGuire closed hi with him, and threw him heavily. The sixth, sev? enth and eighth, rounds were marked by simi? lar resulte. At tho beginning ' of the ninth round Donnelly, who had been considerably bio wp, appeared to catch hie second wiod. M ter some fibbing, "he struck McGuire a pow? erful blow on the left temple). McGuire dropped to the ground like a bar of lead, gasping twice, and died. Donnelly gazed at the corpse with bloody eyes and ohed : "My God. I've killed him. Uh, Jimmy, apeak to me." His friends urged him to fly. An alarm , was raised. It was Bald that the sher.ff's offi? cers were approaching. Donnelly drew on his coat, broke through the ring, and fled Uko a deer. He bas not since been seen, audit is said that he is now In Canada. The News t? tne Alo unta ins. ?From the Walhalla Courier,!

The special correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the most graphic and interest? ing account that we have seen of the opening day of the Peace Jubilee at Boston. We copy the greater portion of his dispatch : Tho Coliseum is built on the Back Bay, where it takes in the open space known as St. james Park, and even extends beyond the boundaries' of that distinguished pleasure ground. Externally it cannot be oilled an or? nament, though it is not so ugly as it would have been If we had built it tn New York. Imagine, if yon can, a sort of magnified and K'orifled Park Barrack, such aa we used to Bee war times, only neatly roofed and painted, and you will have perhaps aa good an idea of it as I can con rey in words. 1 spare yon the figures ot its length and breadth, the feet of lumber and tho number of ten-penny nails used in its construction. I will merely tell you that Hs length is only one-sixth lesa than that of BU Peter's at Borne, and its width One-third leas, and it has seats for 40 000 persons, or sixteen times as many ag our Aoadeflty of Music, lt ls very hard to approach tho Coliseum, however, with any sense of solemnity; yon have to run such a gauntlet of side-shows. Whole streets of shanties devoted to the sale of j apples and pop, wandering ambroiype wagons, patent ewings, a circus which promises the spectacle of lovely women In ethereal tights, a score of tripods beneath which yon can be weighed io a ?pring balance, nu? merous tents flottering their canvas ip the damp east breezes, and vociferous peddlers, iou tere and exhibitors, who won't let anybody alone-are sure to put you in an irreverent frame of mind before you reach the ticket office. But once within the building yon for? get all this outside vulgarity. Th3 interior is very elegant and very impressive, alike by the symmetry of its proportions, the gay good taste of its decorations, and the splendid vista whioh breaks upon the eye whichever way one turns. High np in the trussed roof hang fes? toons of the national colors; painted drapery covers the walls; banners, pennons, portraits of composers, standards of all tbe States, are fastened to the tall columns and the arches. The effect is brilliant and gracoful. Jt does not remind you, as euch plaees almost always do in our country, of a shed' at a cattle-show, but of some stately temple decked for high festivity. Above the entrance is the Angel of Peace, of a bigness corresponding to the dimensions of --the whole Recession. Prop? erly Bpeaktng, there ar? nd galleries, but parquet, balcony and dress circle form a continuous bank ot seats, rising from the centre to the front and side walls. The chorus occupies a similar baok at tbe rear of the building, forming tbree walls of a square funnel, and in the pit at their feet is the monster orchestra, with the conductor at the very front. Ibo organ stands in the middle of the chorus, 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 drapery behind them, makes an excellent background to the scene. The conduct jr's desk is I furnished with a row of speaking tubes, by means of whioh be commu? nicates his orders to the leaders of the vari? ous divisions of tho chorus. - Of the various ante-rooms and offices surrounding the audi? torium, my memory hardly suffices to give a list, j Out of the great pit-lir e cen.re of tho Coliseum open broad pa ssa^e.^ like the gate? ways to the dens of a Boman amphitheatre. Follow one and it takes you to suites of recep? tion balbi, rooms for the musicians, offices for editors, correspondents and reporters. An? other opens into refreshment saloons. An? other carries you beneath the stage to the bel? lows-room under the oigan. Another leads to the open air. The completeness of these mi? nor arrangements is wonderful. By hard wc rk. nightnud diy tbe Coliseum was fin i shad this morning. The dirt was swept ont Of sight, and at 9 o'olook the whole orchestral bund and the whole chorus had their first and last general rehearsal. Strange as it may seem, they never oame all together until this, the day of performance. Mean while tbe Common Council received and feasted about two hundred members of the press inooe ot the ante-rooms, and most of the loafers in New England hung about the doo rp, trying to get m. Tho performance opened a little after three o'clock. Long before that hour the singers bad taken their places, the fiddlers were all m tbeir seats, and Dr, J.* H. Wilcox sat patiently at tbe organ. The view of the stage as you enterel was highly imposing. There was a Kran deus in thaw compact mass of more than ten thousand human beings rising, rank above rank, in solid order, with the great organ pipes towering above them in the back-ground, and the moost r drum, eight feet in diameter, and colored a brilliant scarlet, rising out in the middle. " The view from the opp mite dueotion was not so pleasant, for the seats lilied up very slowly, and at no time was the building more than three-fourths full. At tbree o'clock Admiral Farragut and various other dignita? ries took the seats of honor reserved for them near the centre of tha ball, and alter the ap Slause whioh greeted them bad subsided, the ;ev. E. E. Hale began tbe inauguration prayer. Jt was commendably short, and where I sat was entirely mandible. This, however, was not Surprising, because as soon as he commenced all the people in the baok seals scrambled over tbe benches into the better places beyond them. By the time this rush was over, the 'prayer was over, toa, and so was the short ad dress of welcome by Mayor Shurtieff, and toe Hon. A. H. B10Q was well under way with his congratulations of mankind upon ?he restora? tion ef pea 00 throughout the land. Mr. Bice had prepared a very long speech, and sent it to the newspapers in advance, but be delivered only a little blt of lt, for it carno to his ears that he would be coughed abd clapped down if he spoke longer than ten minutes. 4t the first symptoms of impatience, which took tho form of loud and long applause in the midd o ol a sentence, he wanna up, and the business of the afternoon began? A few chords on the organ gave the signal for the chorus to rise, and showed at the same time that the instru? ment, BmaU av it looked, possessed a marvell lons power, and also a very good quality of tone. Mr, Gilmore, the originator and principal or? ganiser of tb? Jubilee, took the stand amid ap? plause which bordered upon freney, people shouted, and waved their. hats? arms, and handkerchiefs, ia a Way which would have astonished New York, and m cann, philosophi? cal Boston. Boomed little short of insanity ; but during thia week, aa had been said before. Boston means to be insane. Many other favo? rites had a t>u?Uar reception. There was a Er and uproar, tor insM ance, when Oin Bull took isl seat with, the orchestra, to play the Amt violin, Carl Bosa playing beaide~him; there wasawild entusiasm ??Madame Pasepe-Bosa; but the greatest honors of all were paid to Carl Zerrann, the pet of Boston, and Prince of Conductors, wbo drilled the ohoruses. The fit st piece on the programme was Luther's fa? mous choral, eu UR by nearly 10.000 voices, with the string orchestra and organ, lt was done with great precision, s nd seemed to settle the douotful question whether so Urge a company could be brought to sing together without pro? duct g a mero babel of noiee. The Hymn of Peaoo and "My Country Tis of Thoo* also went smoothly, and 10 general, I may say, that nil tho alww music was euooedsful. Bnt I cannot pronounce the experiment ot this Jubilee aa altogether sabstaotory. Near the stage the noise was certainly loud enough, but people at the farther end of the building did not fiad the diu Quito aa ?wini as they expected it. ' To a person sitting in the front row of the balcony, opposite the? tara. I tue m TIBIO w?? unexpectedly weak ta tts effect. Ton thousand voices in the 0 Museum sound no more powerful than fire hundred would soand in Steinway Hall, lt is a roistajke that, the number of Bingera, beyond a certain timi*, adds j anything to the impression on the audience, If tho space over which their noice? have to suteadis too nmoh enlarged. Last year ono thousand people sang at the Brodel and Haydn Feotival in the Boston Music Ball, and pro? duced a much greater effecttban the ten thous? and who e&ng here to-day. i he Music Ball, choro? ?rftaootooiyb^it?r,Tjut?miallyseemed taOro massive.

The chorus is packed closely, yet it covers an area of about 800 feet square-that is to say, the voices of the rear ranks bave 800 feet further to travel than the voices of the front rank, and if both start pre? cisely at the sam? moment, one will come in a fifth of a second after the other. This interval of time, short aa it ls. can be appreciated by the ear, and the least (ageing on the part of tboso distant singers aggravates the difficulty to a distressing degree. In the quicker move? ments ot the chorus, arranged from Mozart's Mass, everything seemed agog. In the "Star Spangled Banner," too, there was frequent confusion. In the chorals, however, no such troubles wete experienced, because the voices dwell long enough on eaob note for everybody to oaten up. There were two solo performances by Madame Parepa-Bosa, namely. Gounod's "Ave Maria" and Rossini's " lnflammatus.' Ber pure, sweet, noble voice came across that vast space, through the surging of 400 in? struments, and above the sound of 10,000 voices, in tbe choral accompaniment, with a distinctness at which I marvel and admire. Her softest notes were distinctly heard in the remotest corners, and the effect of such a beau? tiful voice coming apparently from such an immeasurable distance, was just charming. The over tm ea to ? Tannhaaser'' and ''William Tell" were played by about four hundred and fifty musicians. Mei thor went well, nor produced as strong an effect as if played by one hundred good men in an opera bouse* The "Coronation March" from the ' Prophet" was better, hut imperfect. The features of the day, however, were the "Anvil Chorus," the "Star-spangled Banner." and "Hy Country, 'Tis of Tfcee," accompanied py every Conceiva? ble device for making a noise. For the first there marched iu one hundred firemen in red shirts aud white capes, and placed themselves, with sledge-hammer in hand, by the side of one hundred anvils. The enthusiasm which this performance aroused I oan scarcely describe, A typical Boa ionian beside me jumped np in his excitement and open? ed an umbrella. At proper intervals a battery of twelve ? pieces of artillery, sta? tioned just outside the doors, and discharg? ed by electrical wires, manipulated by a mem? ber of the orchestra, lent sonorous voices to the uproar, and the city bells rang by similar BOientifio appliances, warned all the towns of what was g jing on. To be Bure the artillery to us inside Bounded something like the clap? ping of cellar doors, and tho smoke carno pour? ing in, and the bells we did not hear at all, but it was all very grand and noisy, and AB tbe root 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 yet, and to-morrow the crowd will pro? bably be greater. There were present to-day about9500 singers, a select string orchestra of 450, a grand orchestra of 900, including tbe se? lect one, and an audience of perphaps 12 000 or 15,000 persons. The natives are highly elated with what they have done, and they really have reason to be. CU FF HE IN WASHING TON. JHegro Operatives to be Pat on ?BI Equal? ity witta White-Plamiaaal or Protest? ing White Printers from tkie Govern? ment Printing Offlee-The Order to be Knxorced in .all Quveinmcat Work? shops- A. Suggestive Incident. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes : When the first negro was eolia ted in the armv of the United. States upon a perfect equality with the white soldier, it was as plain as it is now to reflective minds thal either all the banners between the two races wonld be ultimately broten down, or the mad career of New England and Old England fanatics must be arrested by an overwhelming rebuke by the voters of the country at large, lt ; was, nevertheless, a difficult taak to provo to the ' Northern laborer the inevitable result in this respect of continued Radical control. The 'ballot" followed the "bullet;"equal political and civil rights quickly ensued, and perfect equality in governmental positions v/as there? by stealthily established. Even yet tho bare? faced hes of their betrayers were believed by tho white operatives, who were lulled with the hypocritical suggestion that all these move? ments did not necessarily end in "social equali? ty." The time has come, however, it is thought, 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 ' lower orders of society," and it takes no pains* to conceal its design ! The muddle among the printers here in re? spect to the negro Douglass, which was thought by some to have been settled at Albany, has bat served to expose the mode of operation contemplated by the administration upon a large scale. Yesterday every man re? fuging to subscribe to-tho doctrine of-com ?amonsbip and por?oct social equality between be races was, I learn, summarily dismissed from the public printing office, and the re? maining workmen of the cadaverous "con? quered raoo" 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) all printers whose self-respect revolts at out and-out-equality with the negro raoe. The same means will be used in all the workshops of every description under control ot the gov? ernment throughout the country. The policy is in full force at the Navy Yard here, and in all other works under governmental control. Tam told that i the government, seeing the general supineness ot the people, "calculate" upon success as necessarily following the meanB it intends to use in seducing this por? tion of our citizens. It will pay them high prices, and require less hours of labor than in private offices 1 Such t?ctica might probably succeed better with, any other class or people than our mechanics. They undoubtedly re Srd with aa. strict a punctilio the honor of eir families as any other-certainly with j more consideration tuan a majority of the high , officials appointed bv this administration I Bat might it not be as w.ll for those who h ave not yet taken the fatal leap (tThieh must forever sever them from the respect of their species) to "study," as Forney would say, "tbe suggestive history" of tbose who have ? A case iu point ls at band on the spot, but I for? bear to give details. They aro positively har? rowing, besides being a little disgusting. I may be excused, however, foe qu iting a legi? timate result elsewhere tn high quarters, al? ready m ado public. Tbe "wealthy merchant" mentioned below is known here to bo a favo? rite of the present dynasty, and, tt is said, in riew for a high place va foreign diplomacy. The New fork Commercial, a Radical journal, gi .Od the particulars as follows: "A ease ol considerable interest is reported as ?having recently occurred on the heights, wherein the daughter of a wealthy merchant of high standing in the community, following the dictates of Nature, and the example ol Desdemona, eloped with a gentleman of dusky hue, wno superintended the equine department of her paternal relative. The proof of the lady's folly is said lo bo conolueivo. Efforts to sup Sress the promulgation of thc faot have proved stile. For obvious reasons, we retrain from giving tho names of the parties." aSTAND HE DID MANY WONDERFUL WORK>, insomuch that his name waa pronounced tn many toDgues.
