Kasson, of Iowa, is the blue eyed child of destiny whom a great many disinterested newspaper men have settled upon as the man who is to get a corner on a majority of Congressmen to day. The trontest lor the speakership which will be settled today, see ms to be narrowed down to Orth, Kasson, Keifer and Iliscock, with the chances decidedly in lavor ot a western man. "Its a long time between drinks", we are forced mentally to exclaim, every tim3 we look at the latest paper or bulletin, and S33 that no marksman is practicing on the Guiteau hyena. According to the X. Y. Times ex -Marshall Dudley may be appointed Secretary of the Interior. Col. Dadlcy denies the published statement that he is to be transferred to the Bureau of Patents. The fight for the Clerkship of ths House of representatives is between Rainey of South Carolina and McPherson of Pennsylvania. Rainey is the last caucus nominee, made when the R publicans could not elect, and it seems that he ought to be chosen now when they can elect. The near future will doubtless see the number of Cabinet ministers increased by one or two new executive departments. The Agricultural and the Educational bureausof the Interior department will probably be the first two bureaus that will be raised to the rank of independent departments. The Postal Savins System. The tim j has arrived when thegovernment should take some authoritive and imperative steps towards securing safety of deposit for the poor people of the country, millions of women have small sums of mouey from time to time, which they would like to lav aside for a rainy day, but dare not because they have no assurance that their small and hard earned savings will not be stolen and squandered by some irresponsible bank employe, through unlawful speculation on his own private account. The only means by which the government can guarautee absolute security of investment to its citizens, is by the institution of the m ich talked of p:stal savings bank system, by which the government itself receives these small (Lpsits, anl becomes responsible for t!i2ir pimint. Tin g)vern mint can't fail, therefore the money cannot be lost to the depositor, Wc are glad to be able to state that the Post Master General is preparing a bill for establishing postal saving banks,. which will be presented to the new Congress. L.2t every post oftho in the country of any importance be made a bank of deposit, receiving only small sums, gay nothing above 8100 at a time, on which a low rate of interest, three or four percent, shall be paid. This money should hi u2 1 to defray the legitimate expenses of the government, such as paying salaries, erecting public buildings, and liquidating the interest and principal of the public debt. By this means the money while being safe t the depositor, would be of use to the government, so that there is apparent a mutual advantage in the system. It would not interfere with the legiti- j

mate business of bankers, no large deposits being received and no general banking business being transacted, It would, however, prevent a great many ignorant and unsuspecting poor people from being robbed and ruined by unscrupulous sharpers and villains, and would thus prevent much of the misery and suffering consequent upon the almost daily failures of banks of deposit or savings banks. It is the imperative duty of the government to adopt the postal savings system, and we are glad to see P. M. G. James taking the initiative. Contrasts. These United States of ours is a very fine large young country, as the English tourists sav, when thov contemplate our vast expanse from ocean to ocean and from gulf to ocean again,

and think of the immense possibilities and probabilities which the future has in store for us. At the same time, however, the observant foreigner as well as the thoughtful native, when thoroughly conversant with our domestic historv. is irresistibly forced to the conclusion that, notwithstanding our extreme youth, we possess, as an outcome of our racial distinctions and prejudices, more foolish not to say wicked and unjust absurdities and distinctions than any other civilized country on our globe. These absurdities and distinctions of which we desire to speak, are the outgrowth of the infamous and senseless prejudices which obtain in this country against a man on account of the peculiar color of his cuticle or outside skin, and the characteristic twist, curl, or kink in his hair. These are the elements of dill vjreucc between a white man and a Xegro. They are also the elemental differences which determine the weal or woe of a man in this world in many instances. A slight generalization of the disabilities under wnieh the man with the dark-lined cuticle struggles for existence and for fame in this country, may serve to make clear the purport of the foregoing remarks. A Negro may be a representative in Congress, Governor of a state, a Senator or he may be minister to a foreign court ; but he may not be a clerk in a store, a telegraph operator, or a craftsman of fine arts. He may be a m:llionare, a stockholder in a bank or railway company ; but he may not be a car driver, a couductor, bank clerk, or anv kind of a high-salaried or confidential employe of a corporation. He may be an honest man, a so-called Christian, a preacher and earnest worker in tin vhayard of Christ; but he is not welcome in the inner circles and front pews of a vast majority of the so-called churches of God. He mav enlist in the wular nrmr rate, fight the Indians, protect us a private, ngat me incuans, pr the frontier and suppress sedition ; but if by any hook or crook he should se cure a cadet-ship at West Point for his son, he may expect to see him become an object of brutal persecution at the hands of all the yoaug pauper ruffians who are being educated and pampered there at public expense. tt : . i an -ivuierican citizen 10 tue manor bom, pays taxes, helps fight the battles for tha integrity of th. National Union ; but he cannot in many instances seal his children to the common schools as does the unnaturalized foreigner who landed in New York last month, or as does the irreconcilable rebel who fought to destroy the Nation. These are a few of the facts which serve to dampen the ardor of the man with the dark cuticle on Fourth of July and like occasions. The Cabinet Question. The Globe of last week contained an anonymous letter purporting to come from Washington D. C, in which an imbecile effort is made to attack ExSenator Bruce. As a rule, we do not iotice anonymous communications of this character. We depart dightly from our custom in this case, however because The Globe has noticed the aforesaid communication editorially, thii3 giving it a quasi endorsement. The writer of t'ie ungrammatical diatribe is evidently a crank, and his insane babblings will go for naught among all sensible people. He rails at the Garnew administration for appointing MrBruce to an office to which no patron age is attached, and then rails at Mr. ij . . . jruec ior not exercising a prerogative admittedly denied him by the adminis tration. And then because Senator Bruce like Gen. Garfield, Senator Conkling, President Arthur and many other prominent Republicans had, by dignified bearing, courteous demeanor won the personal regard of his political opponents, he is singled out for special censure on this score. Peoplo familiar with the political history of the times will remember that so popular was General Garfield with his political opponent, that his election as Senator from Ohio was hailed with applause by them throughout the country. So popular was Senator Conklinir with the bestand most liberal Demorrntm Ron ators like Lamar and others, that he j

was able with their aid, and that of Seuator Bruce and other Republican Senators for a long time, to resist President Hayes' attempt to remove Collector Arthur and naval officer Cornell; and in this connection it is worthy of note that notwithstanding a threat of withdrawal of patronage by the Hayes administration, from the first to the last ballot, Senator Bruce stood by Senator Conkling in his effort to resist the base attempt to blacken the name and reputation of Chester A. Arthur. The Globe's silly idea, a product of slave times, that in order to build up one man it is necessarv to defame an l tear down the good name of another, whicn it has taken a life time to make, is, we are glad to say, confined to a few old fossilized cranks scattered hither and thither over the country, and of whom the writer of the aforesaid article is a striking example. Their chief occupation consists in a ridiculous masquerading before the public as "leading colored men." No reputable colored man in "Washington or elsewhere would father the article or endorse its base falsehoods and insinuations. The universal sentiment is one of condemnation. We will not ridicule Mr. Längsten by calliug The Globe his organ, or the anonymous writer his henchman. We will rather assume, as is doubtless true, that The Globe and the writer of the aforesaid anonymous article "is" or "are" sore because Mr. Bruce has failed to discover iu him or them the elements of the "truly go d and great." Indeed we shall not allo.v The Globe to put the Leadeü in an antagonistic position to Hon. John M. Lmgston. The Leader is and lias been Mr. Lan-s-ton's friend. For his education, his culture and his noble qualities of head and heart weyi M to no one in admiration. We have earnestly advocated his political advancement in the past, and we still do so. We consider Mr. Lmgston eminently qualified for any position in the gift of the president or the people at large, and in this connection we may add that we have the evidence that Mr. Langston and his real friends fully appreciate our position. The life work of Frederick Douglass, now iu the scar and yellow leaf of age, is the heritage of the race. No honors are too great for him. None but a sacrilegious hand will pluck a single star from the crown of glory his indomitable courage and devotion to the cause ot freedom and equality have won for him.

For Blanche K. Bruce, the poor boy, who like Lincoln, Garfield, and others educated himself and by dint of his own pluck, energy and ability has won for himself a place among the greatest men of the Nation we have, in common with all true men, not only of our own wee, but of all races, unbounded admIratiou- His public life as a state ofI ficiaI a lT S- atorand Register of the Treasury, is an open book, alike' honorable to himself and the race to which he belongs. Not even his cue T 1 1 .1 i iiuus nave ever nrcatucu a suspicion against his personal integrity. In the private walks of life or in public, at home, among foreign people, as citizen and statesman, his career has been one of credit to himself and honor to the race. Tun Leader advocated and still advocates Senator Bruce for a position in the Cabinet because he is eminently qualified for the position and because he is the most available in: i. The District of Columbia has never had a Cabinet oflbor an 1 it is not in the nature of human probability tiiat she ever should have 0:13. An intelligent observer need not search further to discover one reason why the press of the country and well informed people generally did not advocate a resident of the District of Columbia for a position in the Cabinet. Register Bruce is a Southern man by birth and by residence. He represents thessction in which nine-tenths of the c;lorel voters re?idj. Hj his had a varied and honorable experience in public life. He is a cultured gentleman of great ability an 1 fine attainments. He has fine executive qualities and . that polish of mian?rs and social aptness so essential to a Cabinet minister in his dealiugs with the thousands of people from every walk of life with whom he must come in contact. Serving in the Sonate in a period rife with political scandals, he came out with clean hands and the profound respect aud admiration of every member of that distinguished body. He has defended his race whenever assailed. II 3 has labored to adVance the interests of all the people irrespective of color or creed. He has never faltered in the performance of any duty and he is the peer of the ablest and best men in the land. In these things supercilious grumblers may find the reasons why many of the ablest daily journals in the' land, the colored press, and people generally, asked the appointment of the Hon. B. K. Bruce to a position in the Cabinet. And if President Arthur shall fiud it in his heart to accede to this general demand and tender Register Bruce a Cabinet portfolio, he will receive the grateful plaudits of six millions of the truest patriots in the land.

FKEDERICK DOUGLASS.

Ills Coming Lecture on John Brown and the Autobiography He is Writing. I see by the papers that Frederick Douglass is kept busy in his old age gratifying that laudable curiosity which is so universal in the public mind about his early slave life and its humiliations, and his latter free life so full of labors and honors. It is a familiar story to me. I know all about it. It has more romance in its reality than any other life that can be written. You" and I, years before the war, read his book called "My Bondage and My Freedom," and read it with tears on every page. Truly Frederick Douglass is a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief His heart-strings have felt the sweep of the whole scale of human misery and human ecstacy, from woe and despair to joy and exaltation. What a book such a man can give us. I see that he is again to lecture this winter. He told me he was tired of it, and thought he Ayould quit it. But now for the first time he is to tell us all he knows of "JOHN BROWN, OF OSSAWATTOMIE." How the people will crowd to hear for the first time the only true story of John Brown. That story has never yet been told as Fredrick Douglass will give it in a masterly way in his lectures this winter. John Brown, he told me once staid at his house at Rochester, N. Y,, some weeks and tried to induce him to embark in that mad adventure which cost Brown his life. He left the original dralt of his Constitution of Republic he was to set up in the mountains after he had freed the slaves at Douglass's house, and Douglass keeps it yet. That visit of Brown liked to have cost Douglass his life. Douglass was then editing his paper at Rochester, and doing well. As soon as the news came of the Harper's Ferry insurrection in 1859 Douglass friends were uneasy for his personal safety. We laughed at them and said there was no danger he had

nothing to do with John Brown or his edly cheated out of an election in Misraid on Harpers Ferry. "Surely," he sissippi, and there is some talk of hav-

said, "bad as the slave power hates me it will not dare to touch me for shelter ing the poor old man in my house." But his friends were wiser than he. One morning early a friend rushed to Douglass' house and told him to flee to Europe at once, the authorities. Demo cratic of course, were on his track, and a United States Marshal was even then HUNTING FOR HIM IN ROCHESTER.

DOUGLAS3 IS WORTH $100,000 or more, and has a good office as commissioner of Deeds at 87000 a year, and the duties light. So he has plenty of time and me ins to elaborate and deliver his great lecture on John Brown. No man is so well qualified for that duty; and now in a ripe and honorable old age he can find the leisure and means, thank God, to prepare an autobiography of the most wonderful life that ever was lived among men. He told me he had been trying to work himself up to the point of writing such a book for many years, but that he had uevcr had time for it yet. Private Dalzell.

ACTRESSES' HUSBANDS.

The Wedded Attachments of Theatrical Ladies. MarriitBe Iu ami Out of the Profusion The Advantages of a Husband In a ISusiuess Way. New York Dispatch. J A visit made one afternoon in the past week to the residence of an actress whose name is by no means unfamiliar to the metropolitan public brought to the writer something of a curious revelation. The lady in question is exceedingly attractive in her stage make-up; at home, nvoh of the boauv seen under the fierce Klare of the calcium and in the changing ligut and amiu Hit-descriptive adornments of the mimic scene has vanished. Yet there are the brilliant eye, there 1 the charming era ce of movement, the pleasmt smile. and the gentleness of voice and amiability of manner which make her a welcome in society as the is beloved in her dotnesiic circle. She has a husband, and thereby hangs the reve'ation. Why she ever married hi in i one of those enigmas which, to use Dundreary's phrase "No fellah can find nit." She is vtvaciou, witty, educated, talented, and w'vh the public, in her professional capacity, nonular. He is dull, a fellow with a knowledge of no farticular business whereby he might at east earn his bread atid store clothes. As a matter of surmise, it is questionable whether, since his marriage, he has even earned enough to pay for his whisky. ven, ine visitor mm tMe laoy in a cosy Jn" hoUr'ard,e windowa lif 'üch overi-jok Glanc.ug out of one of the windows, the vwtor saw the revelation.

An inebriated individual the other nipht got on a "wild hurrah," as the boys would call it, and, after doing the li tr-rtionn until he became almost wearied out, wound up about 2 o'clock in Hie niornii g at ihe establishment of a well known undertaker in East Washington. After km eking at the door for severul minutes, the proprietor came to the window, and bawled out, What's wanted?" "Say, Mr. hie." said h:s inebriat.-d nibs, "I want to t-ee you for u moment.

All kinds of burns, including scalds and sunburns, are almost immediately r-lievel by the application of a solution of sod m the burnt surface. It must be remember d th.t dry soda will not do unless surnunhd with a cloih moist enough to di-sdvc it. This method cf sprinkling it on and covering it with a wet cloth is often the best. B it it is sufficient to wash the wound repeatedly with strong solution. It would le vv.U to keep a bottle of it always on hand, ma le so strong that more or less. -ettles ..u the bottom. This is what is called a satura e 1 rlution, and really such a solution as this is formed when the dry soda is put on a id covered with a moistened cUth. It is thought by some the pain of a burn is caused by the hardening of the albumen of the tiesh which presses n the nerves, and that the soda dissolves the albumen and relieves the nerves.
