TUESDAY evening. mae. 12.13f<~>. Negroes never have been udniitted into the trades at the North, and now their places at almost all the larger and fashionable hotels there are being supplied by white men. Northern people, as a rule, don't like the propin quity of negroes, and this is as apparent in official, as in social relations.

If ne re as wise as white people they would remain with those among whom tbey were horn and bred, who under stand their natural frailties, and make allowance for them. Northern people do not understand them, and conse? quently make no such allowance. The average uegro doesn't comprehend the true meaning of liberty. With him. when re-moved from his old associations, it soon resolves itself into license, and then follow crime and destitution.

No where in the South does such abject poverty exist as nmoDg the negroes in the rich cities of the North. SoMEOFtbeNew York newspapers express great surprise at the fact that an attempt has bee made to drag Mr. Dana, tin- venerable editor of the New York Sun, all the way to Washington, to be tried for au alleged libel commit te in New York. If the papers re to kept up with the local news the federal capital, they would not surprised at this, for they would know that under a recent decision of a court criminal libel suits can be brought there, not at the cost of ihe prosecutor, but at that of the gov? ernment, aud that the defendant, to he acquitted, must not only sustain every ehurge he has made, but prove that, he made them for the public good. What slow has the Constitution as long as a decision shall stand? JOHN S.

Wlse, formerly of Vir giriia, has written a letter to the Peters? burg Index-Appeal, in which he says he lost the office of Governor of Vir? ginia by "theft," and that hopes nobody will think him a renegade." He concludes by saying there sometimes, when he thinks of the treatment be has received in Virginia, that springs into Iiis miud the words of the Saviour in respect of Jerusalem, and that he would have gathered his children under bis win--, but she would not. Something i-' be the matter with Mr. Wise. His friends should at least prevent him from writing any more public letters. because the democratic legislature of Tennessee, having good ground to believe that the returned majority for the republican gubernatorial candidate there last fall was fraudulent, is exer cising its constitutional riiiht of exam ining it and elimiuatiug the frauds, W.i-iiington, to-called, independent newspaper, says it islidestroying a right? ful majority, robbiug the franchise and engaged in a death danco." But the legislature will continue its examina liou, aud if the republican candidate has been fairly elected, he will occupy the gubernatorial chair, but not other? wise.

And yet the country is reunited, and ex-Confed crates are as loyalas ex-Union soldiers, and that there was no treason among tho former is proved by the fact that President Davis could not be prosecu? ted on Kay such charge. A police justice iu Washington yes? terday, coutrary to the ruliug of the Attorney General, decided that the translator and bookkeeper at the Ar? gentine legation, iu that city, charged with embezzlement, must be discharged, as being a "domestic" of the legation! he was exempt from arrest for such a crime.

If the attaches of the foreign legations at Washington are to be known hereafter as domestics, they will not be such "swells" there as they have been heretofore, and are now. Perry Carson, the recognized leader oT his, the negro race, in Washington, the negroes must resent the death of the negro desperado recently shot and killed there while resisting arrest, by "a blow that will be heard the world over, and that that blow must be strce'e no And yet a new office was eated under an administration elected bv democrats, in order that it might be Ii lud by Carson. Ex-Senator Edmunds, in his argu? ment against the income tax bill, in the U. S. Supreme Court yesterday evening, said that "if the many taxed the few there would be anarchy."

I FROM WASHINGTON. of the Alexandria WA8HC7GTOK, March 12. The action of the French govern? ment in presenting his passports to Pr. J.

tiil Fortoul, the Venezuelan charge affairs at Paris, is the concluding chapter in a bit of interesting diplo maiie history. Two years ago in Octo Ur last, General Crespo, who had healed a successful revolution in Ven? ezuela. euU-red the city of Caracas and at once in-ide president of the re uublic. Within a lew days after bis successful entry and while the domes tie atlairs of the country were in an un? settled condition, a conference WuS held consisting of the French, Belgian, Spanish and Germau ministers to de? cide what aciiou they should take re? garding the damages which the cili of their several countries had re? ceived as a result of the revolution. The Italian minister was asked to be present, but declined to attend.

The conference secret. It was decid? ed that, as the representatives of the foregoing countries, they should call upon the president of the new republic, General Crespo, to submit the claims of tbeir citizens to an international com mission. This conclusion was not in keeping with the Venezuelan law which is that a country shall Tiot be responsible for losses sustained by foreigners residing within its boun? daries, which have resulted from a revolution. The minutes of the confer? ence show that the diplomatic quar? tette which composed it had indulged iu strong criticism of Venezuela aud that thtir stricture upon the domestic and foreign policy of the government were very severe. A copy of the proceedings was furnished to the Italian minister who at once forwarded it to Rome.

Meanwhile General Crespo took up the claims of the citizens of these countries aud ad? judicated them. In January last, the minutes of the conference above refer? red to were published in the Italian Green book. A copy of the book was forwarded to Caracas. President Crespo was indignant at the comtaeuts made at the conference aud be immedi? ately ordered that the French and Bel? gian mi listers, who were the only two of the original quartette then residing in Venezuela, should be given thtir passports. Dispatches contain the iuformation that a French man-of-war has been ordered to La Guayra to receive the French minister, M.

Iiipert Mont Clair. The Belgian minister will accompany French colleague. The French govern? ment in retaliation for the dismissal of Mont Clair, on Saturday last seut Dr. Fortoul his passports. Dr.

Fortoul is the Venezuelan representative He is now at Derne, where he will probably re? main ULtil diplomatic relations between France and Venezuela have been restored. Dismissal of the diplomatic representatives from the two countries cannot result in war, or trouble of a serious nature, inasmuch as all governments reserve the right to rid themselves of the diplomatic represen? tatives of other governments who are -rsonte non grata. The announcement that Attorney General Olney, Hon. James C. Carter and Hon.

Joseph H. Choate, of New York, would address the Supreme Court upon the income tax law, attract? ed an attendance upon thesession of the Supreme Court of the United States to? day that far exceeded the capacity of 'he accommodations of the chamber. Within the rail sat a number of attor? neys and members of Congress who have not previously attended upon the ase. Amone them were Senator 'rmudler, of New Hampshire; Senator Lindsay, of Kentutiky, and ex-Solicitor (leneral John Goode, of Virginia. There was but little delay in entering upou the progress of the argument, the only preceding incident being the introduc? tion to the court of W.

H. Hart, a col? ored man, as a candidate for practition? er at the bar, by ex-Senator Edmunds. Attorney General Olney, who was the first speaker, eutered upou his argument, Chief Justice Fuller notified him that he inigbt proceed with? out regard to any limitation of time, as the period for tirgument had been extended by the court. Attorney General Oluey devoted his urgutneut on the part of the United States to the constitutional question which the several plaiutiffs alleged to be involved in the cases presented. No limo, he thought, need bo expended iu discussing the averments that the iu come tax law was an invasion of vested lights aud took property without due process of law.

Suppose it to be true that the income tax law undertook to ascertain the incomes of citizens by methods which were uot ouly disagree? able but were infringements of personal rights. The consequence would be not that the law was void, but that the hot? ly-denounced inquisitorial methods could not be resorted to. The court listened to the Attorney Geaeral with unabated interest and did not interrupt his address. As he was sitting down, however, Mr. Justice Gray iaquired if he had an opinion of the declaration that an income tax is an excise, duty or import.

The Attorney do not think it necessary to decide that qu'Stian." Justice believe it may be a tax, and yet not a direct tax?" Mr. The Attorney-General spoke not quite an hour, and was followed by Hon. James C. Carter, who was the last speaker in the argument to support the tax. He stated in the outset that he appeared for the Continental Trust Company, which had instructed him to admit and plead the constitutionality of the law.

That was admitted in the demurrer to the complaint of Mr. Hyde, its stockholder, and was admitted out? side the demurer. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, has informed the State Department that the Earl of West tneath has been appointed an attache of the British Embassy in Washington.

A well known business man here to? day says his anticipations of the future are by no means bright, that he can see nothing favorable ahead, and that he fears, before the close of '95, people will' long for the return of the flush times of '94, bad as the latter were. The following changes in the fourth class postoffices in Virginia were made to day Samuel J. Agnew appointed postmaster at Eastview, Floyd county, vice G. M.

It is said at the Treasury Depart? ment that through the Dockerv Com? mission to reform the system of con? ducting the accounts of that depart mentwas rather expensive, its effect will be economical, and that it has ef fectuallv destroyed the "pull" method bv which the settlement of certain claims were advanced there. People from Alexandria county here to-day say that as soon as the frost, snow and rain get foul of the ground, the construction of the Washington and Falls Church electric railroad will be begun also that the coffer dam at the Aqueduct Bridge has been com? pleted and the pumping out of the wa? ter beguu, iu order to rebuild the Vir? ginia pier of that bridge, and that lit tbat work is completed about a million feet of good timber will be for sale there. Mr.

Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, who has been ill for some time, lias recoveied, and if the weather be favorable will beat his office to-mor? row. This is good news to some of the congressmen who have been waiting here to urge him to appoint their friends to the teu new positions created by the income tax law. It is learned at the Agricultural De? partment that the agents appointed by tbe government for the distribution of seed to the drouth striken people of the far West, make those people pay them notarial fees, attesting their inability to buy seed, before they give any of it to them. It is said here to-day that the recent report to the effect that the President had met with an accident originated from the fact that he had fallen and sprained his leg. The members of tbe Virginia dem? ocratic association of this city are iu high spirits to-day in conse? quence of the removal of Mr.

B. A. Colonna from the coast survey, an ob? ject they have been striving to accom? plish for a year or two. Their chief objection to him was that be was not a good democrat, inasmuch as while, under a democratic administration, be promoted two democrats for efficiency, under a republican administration, he removed the same two men for ineffi? ciency.
