It wpz told to our people by a reporter ur a daily paper at 11 o'clock this mornin and it got pretty well around amongst us by 8 thia afternoon, wich wur. tollablv rapid, convdcrin that intelligence in this Ward hex to be con*eyed orally. In the afternoon It was awolved that a meetin be held in the evenin to consult ez to ackshen the Ditnocrisy shood take in thematter, wich win akkordinly so done. I bed the back room Ut up, the barrels moved into a safe place under the .strongest kind nv locks, and the bar closed and

draped in mournin in token uv the hoomiliashen wich I felt hed fallen onto the people in conaekencc uv this outrage. I hung crape onto the door; I put crape around the portraits uv Jason, Chief Jus tis Chase, Bookannon and Fernandy Wood, >nd likewise around the bottles and.over the redheaded barrel, wi6h gave th« establishment a highly funereal and mournful look wich wuz entirely aid D factory.' In theovenin the Dimocracyassembled Bud a mprehnragtd gatherin I never saw They witzn*t jist clearer to watthe Presi <ift»l hed done; indeed the most uv em ■wnz lab'rin under the impreshin that the enfranchisement uv the nigger wuz the wbrk uv the Democratic Legislacher at Albany, and ther wuz indicashens uv a determiaashen to go thro some of the house s uv'the Dimocratic members in this city, but I stopt em, by tellin em the st rate Uv it I asoomed the chair, of course, and hed in addishen, to do the dootics uv Sekrc tary, bein the only one then in the meetin who cood write. Teddy McGinnis remarked that he felt a hoomtlisshen wich wuz actooglly be yond expreshen. The dirty nagur wuz now his ekal. The only difference between em hed bin removed by this infamus law. Doits any one spose that he’d iver ennsint to vote all day beside nig gers? Nlver! lie called upon the Dim ocracy to jine him in a croosade agin em. me," sed Teddy, “ and in Noo Yogrick, at least, we won’t be bothered with nagur suffrage, be gorra.” Pat McLaughlin held similar views Sooner toan vote beside nagurs he’d relinquisnwe biznis uv votin altogether, and go to aawin wood. Repeetin is a "’‘‘good enuffbiznis, and the small conthract •wich he bed ez a reward therefore wuz betther/but he coodent stand nagurs, nor woodent. llis voice wuz for killin uv em. The others made similar speeches, when Bandy McGuire offered a resolooshen that the offer iu uv a vote by a nagur be considered ez a declarashen uv war agin the Democracy uv Noo York, and that they then be immegitly exterminated Bandy wuz for no half-way measures. He

remembered the glorious Jooly days in IK3 when the Democracy uv Noo York asstrtid itself. He had assisted in dcstroyinthe nagur orphan asylum; with this good rite hand he hed beat out the brain* uv two nagurs,to say nothin uv the wimin and children wich he didn’t consider worth countin. He longed to get at em agin. The meetiu bein all so yoonanimus in thiirfeelinl wrote the falterin' resolooshen s:

He hed heard uv the meetin, and come immejitly to see about it. 1 told him in a breath wat hed bin done. “ Thunder!’’ he remarkt to me in a whisper, “ this won't do.

Call the meetin to order agin.” I didn't like the tone of his alloosion to me, but I called the meetin to order on at more. O'Grady remarked to em that there hed bin a misundersundin. He felt asliobred that the Dimocrisj' ov Noo York, allnz the friends uv the cppnssed and downtrodden, wood now generously extend a helpin hand to our colored brethren jist elevated to Stall citizenship. The Dimocrtsy hed not assisted in their elevashun, but they hed no feelin agin our brethren uv color. When our colored brethren came to analyze the matter, they wood' love the Dimosrisy the more for not eloin uv it He wood move the substitooslien uv the follerin fesoioosben for the one wich hed bin unadvisedly passed: ResoLvH, Thvt the Democrisy nv Noo York bail wiia a reelin nv pleasure wich we hev no words to express, the elevashen nv our colored fellow-citi-sena to full ciUxeuship, and that we pledge uurrelvesto pertect em in the cnjovment nv ther newly found riles. The meeting didn’t wan’t to pass it. The feelin agin em wuz tod deep sot to be Tooted out in a minit, but O'Grady wuz determined. O wat a minit wuz that! Wnz the niggers to be killed by us, or wnz they to be taken to bur buzzums. Ther fate hung tninblin in the balancer Finally it wuz put to vote and the niggers wuz sife. By one majority the resolooahen wuz passed At that minit a groan wuz heard outside. : rl “ What is that’” asked O'Grady. “Some nagurs I jist now bate!” remarks McGuire. “ Best in niggers!’’ scd O’Grady “Good Lord bringem in.” And he rushed out and brought in the two unfortunates. Thev were badly banged up about the face, and breast, and stumick, and legs, but O’Qrad/ wuz ekal to the emergency. He washed their wounds and revived em with whiskey and bound up their sores and finally sot em on ther feet “McGuire!” sed be when he hed the work finished, “ McGuire embrace em.” McGuire hed his shiilala in his hand. Never did I see a man so torn with contend in emoshens. Nateral instinks impelled him to drop that shiilala on their beds ez usual, but politikle considerations restrained him. Twict under O'Grady’s eye he lowered it, until at last he dropt it and fell Bobbin with emoshen onto ther buzzums.

A Free Nation.

Tub 30th of March will forever be memorable in the history of the American republic and the cause of freedom. For on that day in this glorious year 1870 the consummation of our freedom, so tat as making all men politically equal before the law is concerned, was brought about. The proclamation of Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, announcing the ratification by the requisite number of States of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Const! tution, is the cqpcludingscene, the happy, glorious denouement of a grand political epoch, by which was evolved one of the most important victories for liberty till now recorded in the history of the human race.

The President, in a special message to Congress on this subject, says “the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution Completed the greatest civil change, and constitutes the most important event that has occurred since the nation came into life." These are strong words, memorable for the truth they announce. Not the Declaration oflndcpendence itself, not the adoption of the original Constitution, not the emancipation of our four millions slaves, was so important os the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. By the first, a new nationality was led out of the wilderness to view, but not to enjoy, the promised land; by the second, that nationality was organized into a power commanding the world’s respect, but in the most important particulars of human right outraging the laws of justice and of Heaven; by the third, an act of national benificence was done, without which the republic might have gone down In ruins, suffering the penalty of national crimes; but by the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment every .man in the country, guiltless of crime, 1s placed upon his feet, and, not only in theory, but by the acknowledgment of law, made to stand upon a perfect political equality with every other man. The last vestige of the legalized caste is wiped out of our nationality, and the American Republic, from the 30th day of March, 1870, is in law and fact a genuine democracy. We are henceforth a free nation.

Noone should fail to observe, in considering the importance of this great consummation, that the constitutional provision, now part of the fundamental law of the land, is of negative form. Such has been the form of every great charter of freedom wrested from tyranny and wrong. The law itself has been the great oppressor of the human race, and when oppression has been removed, it lias been by the ab rogation of unjust law. So this great enactment does not affirmatively say that men shall have such and such rights. It forbids government to take from men such and sudh rights, among which, in this instances is the right of most practical value to every constituent member of the State. Government is forbidden to practice political iniquity. The result—equality. The immediate effects of this extension of the sphere and power of freedom will not be great Did customs, old prejudices, old education in ill, ’will stand in the way. A nation is not regenerated in a day. But the effect of old customs, and prejudices, and education, will gradually pass away, and the time will come when the free peoples of the earth will, with one accord, acknowledge that the day of their deliverance from bondage was greatly accelerated by the freedom of the American Republic, as fully consummated by the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment.— Chicago Post. March 31.

Negroes at the Polis.

On Monday, the newly-made citizens of African birth, exercised, for the first time, their right to vote. They voted in all the city elections in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and lowa. The god of day, after shining upon this exhibition of " negro equalitywent down asusual, and neither earthquakes nor tornadoes followed. > We have heard of nobody being “degraded” by the voting of negroes, nor does the telegraph tell us of any mar riage engagements between whites and blacks as a consequence of negroes visiting the polls The Democracy do not appear to have absented themselves from the ballot-box because of the necessary association with the negro; on the con trary, in many places they were assiduous in their attentions te them, and in one or two places divided the African vote with the Republicans. The colored voters seem to have made an intelligent and discriminating use of their newly acquired privilege. They were neither boisterous nor extravagant; they made no ostentatious exhibition of their power, but voted quietly, conscientiously, and with judgment, just as if they had been voters ail their lives. To their cerdit be it said, they voted independently. They voted as citizens, and not as a class or a race. They voted, each man for himself, and net under the direction or management of any guardian. It matters not bow they voted, whether for one party or the other, so they voted their own opinions, both of men and measures. As a natural remembrance of the long and bitter past, the great majority of them voted the Republican ticket, but there were some exceptions These men are now citizens, and n ost of them are dependent upon their dai'y earnings. Having common interests with their fel-low-citizens ot all parties, they will naturally be guided by the best lights they c in obtain, and will vote like other people for those measures which theydeem best calctflat edtoadvancetheinwrnfntcrest s. The grand event has taken place, in anticipation of which our Democratic friends have shed bo many unavailing tears, and uttered so many direful predictions. The negro has actually voted at the same polls with the white man, and there has been no convulsion of nature, no riot at thepolls. no war, no pestilence, and no famine. —Chicago Tribune, April 6.

The present Administration came into power under embarrassments and difficulties hitherto unknown in this country. An enormous debt, wide-spread financial complications, peace to be kept, and State governments to be restored, aver one half the continent, were chief among these entanglements. The debt has already been largely diminished, and, with proper legislation, the entire amount will be funded oil highly favorable farms. The revenue has been collected. Retrenchment has been introduced into all departments. The public peace has been kept, and the State governments, with a single exception, are already restored to their proper relations in the Union. It has been an era of common sense, as compared with a previous era of wild extravagance and speculation, pnd mad projects, all over the country, to deplete st® further the National Treasury. The people are satisfied that Presideat Granj has tried to do what was right,- and they will be better satisfied if Congress will pass the necessary measures to further additional reforms.— Chicago itepubii can, April 2. —When may one, takingn walkthrough English woods and vales, be said to resemble a sailor in a stormy night at sea ?

A correspondent wrote to a news paper in behalf of “an aged, indigent mother,” and was enraged in the morning that his appeal was made to read in behalf of “a one-eyed indignant woman." “ The man who raisad a cabbage head has done more goo 1 than all the metaphysics in the world,” said a stump orator at a meeting. “ Then,” replied a wag, “ your mother ought to have the premium.” One of the New York railroad ring says that although his father would not tell a lie for a shilling, he would not hesitate to tell eight for a dollar. That is the difference between wholesale and retail fibbing. The Evansville Journal says that a young lady of that city, was licensed to marry two gentlemen, and adds that she madeonly one happy.

As divorce is somewhat of a fashionable topic now-s-days, the following decision, by a Judge pretty well known a number of years ago, in a divorce case, is apropos: After hearing the testimony, His Honor gave the opinion : “ From the testimony of the parties themselves, given in this case, it has been clearly shown that this man and woman are just fit to live with each Other and no one else. This case will be dismissed at the cost of the petitioner.” w Sometime ago John Bright was dining with a friend of Cottonopolis, and the conversation turned on the subject of the growth and development of America. "I should like," said the host, who is an enthusiastic admirer of the Great Republic, “ to come back fifty years after my death, to see what a fine country America had become." “ I believe you would be glad of any excuse to come back,” said Mr. Bright, with a grim allusion in the tone •this voice to the quarters from which his friend would be likely to emerge.

Hecli sknebs has its uses. Men, like (rces, must stand far apart to grow large. Never be above your calling, or be afraid to appear dressed in accordance with the business you are performing. Nd man is more nobly born than another unless he is born with better abilities and a more amiable disposition. An eminent agriculturist says, “I had nit her leave to posterity 1,000 trees than SI,OOO— living groves than decaying mansions.”

The direction in which plants twine is not a direct result of the position of the sun in regard to them ; the French bean turns from right to left; the hop from left to right, and the common bryony either way. Razor Paste.—Take putty powder 1 oz., oxalic acid oz., and honey enough A mix with these so as to make a stiff paste. Apply to the strop, and wrap the remainder in tin foil. Mending Broken China.—Diamond cement for glass and china is made in the following manner : Take isinglass 1 oz., distilled water 0 oZs., alcohol IJJ ozs., warin in a water bath till dissolved, and strain the solution. Add to the clear solution, while hot, milky emulsion of gum ammoniac J-joz alcoholic solution of gum mastic 5 drachms; this possesses great adhesive qualities.— Scientific American. For worms in calves’ windpipes, a disease most prevalent in dry summers, and often occasioning great mortality, V. H. Hubbard, Rochester, Vt., communicates the following remedy: Asafrrllda, three ounces; vinegar, one quart. Give cadi calf a teaspoonful in each nostril every third morning, taking care to hold the ■bead well up to prevent waste,. A writer in an exchange states that he cured a cow that was tiddly afflicted with the scours, by the following remedy: One quart of wheat flour tied tight in a cloth, put into a kettle of boiling water, and boiled three hours. After it was

taken out and cooled, it was pounded fine, and given her to eat dry. By twice feeding her with this she was cured, and n'ever troubled with it again. It is said to have been equally effectual in cases of (Jysentery with persons. Ingrowing Toe Nail.—This painful abnormal condition oi the toe nail may be cured by allowing the nail to continue to grow without paring it. The boot or shoe will depress the nail at the end as it grows longer, which will gradually elevate it at the piniit, where it presses upon and Into the soft tissues of the toerthus removing the irritation, the sore soon heals. This is far preferable to the rash and painful operation of tearing off the toe-nail with forceps.— Jtxchange. In reply to an inquiry the American Agriculturist says: Potatoes, cabbages, beets, rhubarb, and radishes will net mix if planted near each other uuless you raise seed. Corn shows the mixture, the first season. Pumpkins, melons and cucumbers do not mix with one another; the different varieties of each crop mix readily, but the mixture does not generally show itself in the fruit until the next generation. Varieties of beans and peas mix more or less, probably by the agency of insects. A contributor to the Maine Farmer gives the following experience in relieving choked cattle: A year ago last fall, while driving a drove of cattle to Brighton, a heifer got choked with an apple, and was so far gone that she could hardly stand. I got a pint of soft soap at a house nearby, which .was rather thick, and I added a little water, and poured it down her throat. In five minutes she was well. I had never known this to fail of removing the obstruction either up or down in a short time.

Early and Late Planting—Peas may be sown very early, even if the soil is quite cold, as considerable frost or cool nights will not injure them. Beans will rot if the.soil is cold and wet—therefore wait until it is warm. Wheat, oats and barley will do well if sown early, but keep the corn out of cold, wet soil, or it will either rot or grow feeble. Onions, beets, solsify and parsnips should be sown early; carrots later; mejons and cucumbers still later. Plant all kinds of hardy trees and shrubs just as early as the soil is suitable, and the earth will become settled about the roots by the time warm weather commences. A little haste in spring will usually prove of great advantage, before the close of the season, but be sure that it is properly applied.— Hearth and Home. Molasses Candy.—One quart of molasses or sirup, two pounds of coffee sugar, or one pound of brown and the same of crushed. Boil over a slow fire in a brass or porcelain kettle. Try it by putting (some in a cup of cold water; when it. is brittle, it has boiled cnoueli Then take it out into a buttered pan. Put it on ice, or in a cool place. When the edge is cold, the centre will be warm; then bring it in. Have a buttered board to work it on. While you are working is the time to flavor it; work it till it is all of the same degree of heat. Pull it on a hook until it is white. Now, handle it lightly, or it will be dark and hard. Pull it but in a long string before you take it from the hook. Put it on the table, and when cold, break into such sized sticks as you please. You will have to work fast, or it will be dark and hard. Candy made tliis way is cqttal to sugar candy.—Exchange. A Strong Cement for Iron.—To four or five parts of clay, thoroughly dried and pulverized, add two parts of iron filings free from oxide, one part of peroxide ot manganese, one half of sea salt, and one half of borax. Mingle thoroughly, and render as fine as possible ; then reduce to a thick paste with the necessary quantity of water, mixing thoroughly well. It must be used immediately. After applicMion, it should be exposed to warmth, gradually increasing almost to white heat This cement is very hard, and presents complete resistance alike to a red heat and .boiling water. Another cement is to mix equal parts of sifted peroxide of manganese and well-pulver-zied zinc white, add a sufficient quantity of commercial soluble glass to form a thin paste. This mixture, when used immediately, forms a cement quite equal in hardness and resistance to that obtained by ♦he first method.— Scientific American. It is generally supposed in this country that soft water is more healthful than hard. The London City Press remarks that the French savant, when inquiring after water for the supply of Paris, found that more con scrip ts iy® .rejected in soft water, districts, on. of imperfect ' development and sttmwd wrowth, than in the hard; and they coneiwled that .calcareous matter in water; is essential to the formation of tissues. In the British ialantU, it appears that the death rate i*s influenced by the water supply, not only as to its sufficiency and the amount of organic matter suspended in it, but also as to. its relative hardness Glasgow and Manchester are supplied with soft waters, and have high death rates; Birmingham, Bristol,Newcastle and Warwick have hard water and low death rates. It may be arid that in towns supplied With, water, of more than ten degrees of hardness, the average mortality is 23 per 1,000, while jn those supplied with softer water it is alx>U| 26 per I,ooft.-

Facts Concerning Hair.

[From the Lafayette (In'll.) Daily Courier.] In nil ages and countries tlif hits been regarded' as her chief ornainint. The Varlwn methods adopted fur its JWBvrVhtion and the promotion of its growl 11, have wholly or partially failed. But Chevalier Life for the Hair has been found to be a rell able bcautifler and invtgWMor of the hair. Those who have tried it —and tlveir name is legion—bear testimony to its efficacy tn beautifying and imparting a healthy growth to the hair, sill'll as no other preparation I* capable of doing. It has been analyzed and found to contain nothing but vegetable matter, indeed, some of which we use daily on our tables, and by the medical faculty, as well as by-every one who ever used it,'is pronounced the finest preparation ever used on the toilette for beautifying the hair. When the. hair from various causes turns gray, and comes out, indicating disease, this wonderful preparation restores it to its original color and softens the scalp, gives new life to the roots, and by constant application, even in the aged, it Will work admirably. We recommend it with pleasure, from our own experience, and from testimonials from the highest authorities in this country, which we have now before us.

The Life for the Hair is made under the immediate stipervlslon of Sarah A. Chevalier, M. D., a practicing physician of New York, and well knownto the medical faculty of that city, and eminent all over the world. Druggists vend it from Maine to California. A treaties on the hair by the same eminent physician can be had free by mail or gratis at any drug store, on application. Send for it.

On comparison of similar qualities we have found the Buffalo brantf black Alpacas made of liner wool, purer color, and cheaper than any other Alpacas, for which reason we regard them as the best in the market These goods possess a foil, bright.black color, for the Spring and Summer wear, t his brand can be found m almost any city or country dry goods store, and can be distinguished from other brands by observing that a ticket is nttacbed to each piece, bearing a picture of a buffalo, from which it is named.— Harper's Bazir. ‘‘ Drend Cant upon the Waters,*’ -If the Great* Providence has not literally cast bread upon the waters, He has planted the clem»n’s of wholesome nourishment on the rocks, in the shape of Sea Moss, from which Ska Mobs Farlnr is nude.

The Responsibilities of the Liver.

The liver has t* tery important part to perform in the animal economy. Its function is two-fold The fluid whlchiksecft teg tempera the blood and regulates the bowels, and upon the quantity and qualty of the secretion depends, in a great degree, the adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the due removal of the refuse matter which remains in the intestines after the work of digestion has been accomplished. One of the principal uses of Hoetettm's Stomach Bitters is to tone and control this somewhat unruly organ. The anti-bilious properties of the preparation are scarcely secondary to its virtues as Ji Stomachic. Its operation upon the liver is not violent like that of mercury, but gradual and gentle Instead of creating a sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, it regulates its action by degrees. Hence, it is a safe remedy for bilious disorders,while mercury, being a tremendous excitant, is not. The more naturally and qfiietly a diseased organ can be rostered to its normal condition the better, and it is the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regulate witb< ur. exciting or convulsing. The success which has attended its use ana remedy tor affections*of lhe liver is proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take it habitually as a protection against attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce it the best liver tonic in existence The symptoms of an approaching fit of biliournera can hardly be mistaken. A pain ta the right aide or under the shoulder blades, a saffron tinge in the whites of the eyes, sick headache, feeling of drowsiness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual indications of a morbid condition of the liver, and assoon as they appear the Blttera should be resorted to in order to ward off more serious

It has gone into several families, and with remarkable effect In every Instance. One woman has been restored from what her physicians pronounced consumption, alter several months* sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs, and prostration. so that she is able now to do housework and assist In the support of her family, and with care and continued use of the Balsam she expects entire restoration. Another person, a young woman to whom I gave one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough, which was of months* standing. Is getting better, ana she baa purchased the second bottle, and has every indication of a si et-dy cure. A young man who was raising blood, and quite weak and sick, has. by the use ot two bottles, been much Improved, ann Is able to do a little at his work. > Ayonng man to whom 1 recommended atrial of It, who has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs lor months past, ana unable to get rest or sleep, has commenced taking It. and Is now using the fourth i ott’e with great benefit.
