The action of the Washington City Councils in regard to the admission of colored people lo places of amusement ou the same footing as the w hites attracts at tention throughout the country, and there r seems to be considerable difference of opinion amongst the Republican press as to the wisdom the course udopted. Ihe Chicago Tribune, the leading iv -publican pa (m i- ot the West, has the following iu regard to the matter : " ?Some ill-rtdvised people in Washing ton are endeavoring to procure a city or dinance compelling the hotels of tbat city to accommodate colored guests on the same terms and at the stitie tables as whites, or forfeit their licenses. An ordinance has uln-udy been passed, pro viding for annulling the licenses' of thea tres uuliiss they shall seal negroes and whites without distinction on account id" color. 00 lor 11 out ociug democratic, or in uccoidance' with the principles of equality, such attempts are as flagrantly at war with equality of right as they are with politeness. The only persons who an; ufi'ecicd by obtruding colored guests at a hotel or in a theatre are the other guests or attendants and and the proprie tor. ""NTiTeteen-tweutieths of these would be white under any circumstances, and the effect of such a measure is to enable one black man or woman to force his or her company upon nineteen white men or women who do not desire it. Displeasing the nineteen to please the one is not equality but the grossest inequality. Hotels and theatres are not public offices. or government institutions, ihey are not supported by tuxes, like free schools, nor do tiny enjoy any legislative monopo ly like railroads.

Bishop Henry W. Lee, of Iowa, says that "from the first the ritualistic innovations hare tilled him with pain and aporehe'iisioi.. and he has done what be could for their discouragement and prevention. He be lieves that they iiave a most erroneous tendency, and that theydsue unspeakable injury to our beloved Church, and that the real teaching of the prayer book, as well us Its whole history, is against them He thinks, however, that the present sea son ot strife and controversy is a poor i inn inr a p j i in sini u 1 u a ! nfiiiruiruin tune for a calm and wise and deliberate r-t.- t.-f. it i " .7. V . . mon Draver. His ion Albert l.ee. ot Drl- t j r , aware, heartily concurs in Bishop Mc 1 lvalue's low church sentiments, and ad vocates as a question of expediency an alteration of the prayer book, allowing the liberty of using alternate forms. He thinks the discussion on these subjects has) been harsh, captious and unfair. Bishop Ma n ton Eastbuin, of Massachu setts, is still more cordial in expressing his sympathy with Bishop Mcllvaine. He also tiruks the time unpropitious for a change of the prayer book. Biihop Thomas H. Vail, of Kansas, thinks there need be no explanatory revisal of the Ritual or Liturgy. Bishop Thomas M . Clark, of Rhode Island, concurs heartily wth Bishop Mcllvaine, as do also Bishop Johns, of Virginia, Bishop William Ba con Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and Bish op Cummins. A Prompt Ilep?y.Rer. Rowland Hill used to ride to aud from Church in a car riage. This gave offence to one oi his members at least, who went so far as to hand iu a notice requesting t he "prayers of this congregation for the pastor, who yield ing to .ride, is in the habit of riding in bis carriage, not content, like his Divine Mas ter to ride upon an ass." It was not un til Mr. Hill had read the paper, and ob served the sensation created, that he no ticed the import; and then laying it down, he said : "it is true, brethren, 1 ride 111 my carriage, but if the author of this no tice will appear nt the door at the conclu sion of the services, saddled and bridled, 1 will do my best to ride him home." The Universalist denomination of this coimtryrwMI be one hundred years old in 1370. 1 hey propose celebrating the event by a general convention in Septem ber of that year, to convene al Gloucester, Mass., where Rev. John Murray estab lished the first Universalist society in America. In the month of May next spe cial meetings will be held in all the prin cipal cities, and the various congregations be called upon for an offering to cancel debts, endow colleges and bnild churches. The hope is expressed that the centenary offering will reach 81.000.000. Of this- sum $100,000 w ill be applied to a monu mental church in Washington city. Heaven help the man who imagines he can dodge euemics by trying to please everybody. Other people have a right to their opinions, so have you; don t fall into the error of supposing they will jespect yon more for turning your coat everyday to match the color of theirs. Wear your own color in spite of wind or weather, storm or sanshine. It costs the vacilat iug and irresolute ten times the trouble to wind, shuffle and twist, that it does honest, manly independence to stand its ground. The late Mr. Thackeray had a nose of most peculiar shape, a may be seen by his portaits. The bridge was very low, and the nostrils extremely well develop ed. On one occasion, at a party where Douglas Jen old was present, it was mentioned that Mr. Thackeray's religi ous opinions were unsettled, and that a lady of his acquaintance was doing her best to convert htm to Romanism. "To Romanism ?" exclaimed Jerroldi; "Let us hope she'll begin with his nose." .Miss Amanda J. Craig, who reccnty obtained a verdict tor SI 00,000 damages in a suit for breach of promise against Mr. Sprague, at Whcaton Illinois, has return ed to her home, iu Newport, and is an ap plicant, it is understood, for reappoint ment to her old position as teacher in the public schools, which place she will no doubt get. Dr. J . G. Beck, also a citi zen of Newport, who testified against Hiss Craig, and who was sent to jail for for contempt of court, is still iu durance vile at When ton. A sentimental chap intends to petition Congress for a grant to improve channels of affection, so that henceforth the course of true love may run smooth. A man turned his son out of doors lately, because he wouldn't pay him house rent a striking proof of pay rental af fection. The minister who divides his discour ses into too many beads will fiud it difficult to procure attentive cars for all of them. It is unwise to worry about wht ' cannot be helped, and foolish to worry about what can be helped. Therefore .. worry not aiail ' LETTER FROM JUDGE READE We re publish the following letter writ ten by Jade Reade in 1864. It contrast! strangely with the conduct of our Judges in this radical and progressive age- RoxuoKO, July 1, 1864. My Dear Sir : I received yours of the 23rd nit., enclosing an editorial of the Progress of that date, in which it is said, that Governrr Graham, myself and oth ers, have not declared for Gov. Vance, and that we cannot vote for him without stuliilyiug ourselves, and you ask wheth er my position is correctly given, and if not, tbat I will give it, and allow yon to publish it. I received a letter some time ago from Col. Little, to the same end, and, after consulting my friends, I declined his request, maiuly because I thought that my.iiiii proper tbat 1 should do . Since receiv ing your letter, I have reconsidered the matter. Respect for your opinion, and a disposition to be obliging, inclined mc to accjilu to your request, but the strongest conviction of my judgment is, that it would be a breach of propriety, fo( which I know no precedent in North Carolina, and for which I would be severely cen sured. By universal consent, if not by the imperative demand of the pnblie sentiment, the Judges have stood aloof from active participation in parly contests. Of course they think aud vote with the same independence which others nse, but the Press and the Rostrum have uot been common to them. I am the youngest Judge upon the bench, and I am snre I ought uot to violate a ctrstota which has been so well approved. 1 think it would be best if it could be forgotten that a Judge ever belonged to cither, or to any party, but if tbat cannot be, then the next best thing is that he should be claimed by all If there ever was a time when the Judiciary should be free from party prejudices, that time is the present. In war the laws lose much of their strength and influebce. 'ihu pas sions run wild. And Judges, to be influential and useful, must be more than ordinarily prudent, iu order to avoid pre judices of any man, or of any party Aud, besides, l think yoa will agree with me, that there never was a time when tbe Press used so much freedom, not lo say licentiousness, in denouncing any and everybody who appears before the pnl.U "Fool," "knave," "abolitionist," "scoun drel," "coward," "liar," "traitor," are the delicacies of its language, until the State, if respected abroad nt all, must be so in spite of its. press. In tbe article which you send me from the Progress, it is said tbat I cannot declare for Gov. Vance without "stultifying" myself. If 1 were to del are for Mr- Hidden 1 am sure you wonld have no kinder word than that. So that, whether I declare for one or the other, I could be nothing better than a fool at tbe least. In 1 ebruary last, your neighbor, the Confederate, placed me side by side with Mr. Uoldea indeed, put me at the very bead of the list of "agitators;" so tbat, in whatever Mr. Hidden was bad, I was worse. But in its issue of yesterday it says, it is "morally impossible that I can support him." And yet I have said not a word, and am neither better nor worse than I was in February. So that, declare as I might, if I were to declare at all, I could not hope to es cape denunciation, and the consequent prejudices of a large portion of the pub lic, by reason ol which my influence ou the bench, where I really desire to be Useful, would be impaired. I consider that if a Judge's position! politics were misrepresented, professedly by authority, and injury to himself or lo others were likely to ensue, thero would be no impropriety in his making correc tion. 1 But tat) article in the Progress is - only speculation upon my an antecedents, and your paper has freely indulged in the same. My antecedents are before thepnblic. The public are not easily deceived, and up on their good sense I must rely, and shall be happy if I can possess their good opinion in my new position and serve them with profit. 1 With an earnest desire to oblige you, and any portion of my friends, I have to regret that I cannot, consistently w ith my sense of propriety, comly with your request. With considerations of distinguished regard, I am very truly yours. E. G. READE, J. D.H ym Air, Esq. . B. You can make any use of thir you think proper omitting Col. Litfle's uame. E. G. R. A THRILLING STORY. Three little children of Mr. Crduse, says tbe Lynchburg Virginian, oi the 22d, attempted to cross tbe rail road bridge over tbe Black w water, on Sunday even ing. Whtn nearly over they heard a train coming and attempted to run back, thiuking that it came from the west. But in tbat they were mistaken, and the train came on the bridge before they could get off. The oldest, a girl, seized the young est child and jumped from the briditu down an embankmentigbleep or tweuty feet high. Tbe other, a little boy, clun With his hands to the bridge until tba train had passed, and then fell to tho ground and rolled down a declivity of some eighty or ninety fret.
