The Negroes and the Inaugarntion Bail. Shall negroes be admitted to the inaugura- tion ball at Washington? ‘‘That’s the ques- tion.” But why not? Why should the radi- cals seek to evade the logical consequences of their prolonged efforts to hoist the negro into a position towards which it is but just to Sambo to say that he has manifested no offensively covetous inclination? Why should Mr. Sumner, or Old Ben Wade, or Miss Anna Dickinson be debareed from opening the ball, each with a dusky partner? The gracefulness, the elegant manners, the liveliness, the tastefal costumes, the conventional propriety and the undisputed beauty which before the war used to consti- tute the charm of. ‘“‘quadroon balls” in New Orleans, might well enhance the attractions of a ball at the Treasury building in Washington. If any of the dukes and duchesses of the crea- tion of the ex-Emperor Soulouque should also be present at the. ball their gorgeous attire and mellifluously sounding titles would delight even the Jenkinses of the radical newspapers. Nevertheless one radical newspaper feels con- strained to appeal to the recognized ‘“‘under- standing of some of the elements of high breeding” on the part of our colored fellow citizens, in order to induce them, inasmuch as some of the managers of the ball dispute their right to be present, ‘‘to treat the whole affair with lofty contempt by refusing to patronize it.” , We may at least hope that this Jesuiti- cal appeal will not be successful in excluding George T. Downing, a chip of the old block, although a shade lighter than the old block, from gerving up a supper at the inauguration ball—if such be his ambition—worthy of his own and his father’s reputation. The ladies of Washington, Philadelphia, New York and even Boston are said to be hesitating whether they shall order new and fashionable toilets for the inauguration ball. They are waiting to learn whether Dinah and Susannah will be admitted to it, But even if admitted it would be difficult for Dinah and Susannah to outstrip their feminine rivals of Qaucasian descent. In fact, as between the two colors, we have no doubt that Dinah and Susannah would be thrown in the shade. It is undeniable, how- ever, that, short sleeves and low neck, ebony or mahogany, the charms of an Africkn belle in pure white are brought out in very shining relief. But, after all, it appears by late ad- ya the pational capital that such tha will shine ‘at the inauguration ball only by their absence. What we intimated above is confirmed by our Washington corre- spondent, who says, ‘Sambo has had no de- sire to go to the ball at all.” He adds that the letter to Mayor Bowen asking whether negroes would be admitted was a ‘‘put up job,” and was written not by a negro but by certain “rollicking blades,” Whose Object was “to sell” the Mayor. The respectable colored men of the district, headed by Downing, the caterer, and Booker, the hair artist, have no-| 4, gisarm the attacks of the republicans by tifled the committee that they and their friends | reaucing have no intention or desire to go to the ball. ‘Taking a high-toned view of the matter, ‘they tecognize that the ball is something arranged by‘ party of private gentlemen in honor of Gen.'ral Grant, and that those gentlemen have a right’ to invite whom they please, or to sell tickets to’ whom they please.” Many a white radical mig%t take lessons in true instinctive politeness fromt bis colored brethren.

A few days ago a force of the besieged garrison of Puerto Principe sallied from the town for the pur- pose of obtaining a supply of cattle, and while on the raid burned the Scaldivas estate.

At one time a vessel With acod’s bead and a mackeret’s tail was the most favored modei, but that idea has long since passed away, and coluers’ and coasting crait are the only vessels now constructed on those principles. Perhaps the fincst specimens of naval architec- ture among the English yachts are the Cambria and Aliné, It would be dimeult to decide whtch of the two is the more beautiful. Perfect in their lines and faultless in their construction, they are good specimens of the English model. THR ALINE. The Aline is owned by Mr. Sutton. She was built by Messrs, Camper & Nicholson, of Gosport, near Portsmouth, in the year 1860, She ts 216 tons, builders’ measurement, She ts 100 feet long in the load line, 21 feet 10 inches beam, 12 feet in depth of hold and draws-11 feet 3 inches of water. She is built of English oak framing scantling 7 by 634 inches, teak and oak planking. The Aline is built very strong—unusually so for aracing vessel. Her midship section is what may be termed “fall and round,’ and is carried well ipto the after body, ter- minating in a haif-elliptic stern. Her load line ts r it. She has a faring bow and a raku stem with a handsome cutwater. Her imternal fittings are of walnut in the ladies’ cabin and of Spanish mahogany and b rdseye maple in the sa- loons, state rooms and berths. Unlike most of the racing vessels, the Aline has no lead run between her Umbers for ballast. Inspecting the hull of this vessel one cannot fail to be struck with the perfect symmetry and beauty of her line. Not a lane the size of a pea is to be observed anywhere, and the workimanship is 50 admirably executed that it seems almost a pity to have it covered with it. The Aline has very lofty lower masts. The length of her mainmast from the “hounds” to the deck is 63 feet, and the foremast measures between the same points 68 ieet 6 inches, The position of the masts is the builder's sec! but 1n Vessels of this class it is usual to piace the fore- mast avout three-tenihs of the vessel's length, on the load line, from the nightheads, and the ma‘nmast rather more than the same distance from the fore- mast. ‘The Aline’s topmasts are rather short, but they are to be lengthened two feeteach. The main- topmast is at present 32 feet 6 inches long and the foretopmast 31 feet 6 inches, The main boom i 6% feet long, the main gaff 35 feet 6 inches, the fore gaff 25 fee} 3 inches, and the bowsprit about 36 feet from the stem. The spars are all splen- did ticks, and neither expense nor have been spared in their manufacture. Her Sails were made by Messra. Lapthorn, also of Gos- port, and are considered to be masterpieces of the artofsailmaking. There is not one square of canvas but does its work. ‘THE CAMBRIA. The Cambria, as is well known, is owned by Mr. James Ashbury. She was built by Mr. Ratsey, of Cowes, and quite a new vessel, having ry ljaunched eariy in the summer of 1368. She is gene- rally put down at 188 tons, Thames measurement. In this connection it may be well to explain that what is known as “I'hames measurement” is the system laid down by the Royal Thames Yacht Olup, and is thas described in the rules of that club:— “The length shail be taken in a straight line at the deck from the forepart of the stem to the after part of the stern post, from which, deducting the breadth, the rem: ler shall be esteemed the just length to find the tonnage; and the breadth shall. be taken from the outside of the outside plank in the broadest part of the yacht, then multiplying the breadth so taken by the length, and the product by half the breadth, and, dividing the whole by ninety- four, the quotient shall be deemed the true tonnage.” Now the Cambria on the load line measures just 100 Sue is built of English oak teak and oak, and her bulwi of mahogany. She has @ powerful body with a hollow foor; a fine clean run and @ half elliptic stern. Her bow was somewhat hollow, but this is being altered by what termed “ ding,” which means bring- ing the bow out to the required form bj extra planking fastened to the origtnal planking; and this alteration is looked upon as an improve- ment, Her head knee appears short; but in @ racing vessel all 1 are as far as a acht les in her going, and the achievemens of the ‘gambria have made her the beau ideal of a vessel. About 15 tons of lead have been run into her floors as fixed ballast, in addition to which ops veral rooms and & cent saloon, alf finished with exquisite taste, of A 8 are splendid stieks; Indzed, poasible care is always taken vessel at present of the following ensions, from the “hounds” to the deck:—Main- mast, 61 feet; foremast, 56 feet 6 inches; each mast bemg two feet shorver than the corresponding masts of the Aline. It is intended, however, to lengthen the Cambria’s masts two feet each, and to enlarge her sails accordingly; and as she has proved herseif to be a remarkably stiff vessel it is believed that she will easily Carry the additional canvas. Her top- masis (fore and main) are respectively 32 feet 3 inches and 85 feet 6 inches. The distance between the masts may be computed by the rule ailuded to in connection with the Aline. The Cambria’s main boom is 61 feet Jong; the main 33 feet 9 inches from the sheave; the fore gatf, 26 eet extreme. ‘The bowsprit 1s 35 Jeet over! the main fore topsail yards are respectively 82 and 29 feet each. Her sails were made by Messrs. Lapthorn, and, it 1s needless to say, stand remarkably well. The tollow- ing 18 the number of yards of canvas in each of the Cambria’s sails, to find the actual area of which an abatement of about twenty per cent should be made for gores, linings, tallings, &c.:—Mainsall, 730 yards of 15-inch canvas; fol 460 do.; staysail, 230°do. ; first jib, 840 do.: second jib, 260 do.; main topsail, 208 do.; foretopsatl, 175 do.; main balloon topsail, 187 yards of 27-inch canvas; fore balloon topsail, 160 do. CARL SCHURZ. The Radical Germans and Carl Schurz—A Dinner and Speeches. The leaders of the radical portion of the German republicans were rather dissatisfied at the great success which their more moderate brethren had achieved last Sunday im co-operation with the democrats. The laurels won by General Sigel on that occasion stung certain other parties to such an extent that as soon as Carl Schurz came to the oly foe A men Ng gy to the hear ge of ever, ly else, ey arrange: a Gioner at Delmonico’s lastnight, As of course it was Ne affair, so far aa Delmonico was concerned.

Postponement of the General Conference of the Evangelical Alliance. The Executive Committee of the Evangelical Allt- ance of the United States have received intelligence from the branches of the alliance in England, in Germany and in Holland, that the brethren in those countries are not able to make it consistent with their arrangements to attend the General Confer- ence at so carly a period as the autumn of 1869, and suggesting the expediency of its postponement for at least another oie The ‘committees had already gone so far with their arrangements that they were extremely reluctant to contem| the po But as the id design of uniting the coun- sels and rs Of Jeading the men in European and other countries could not be accomplished without affording them ample time for preparation, both for the conference and the journey, the United States committee were con- ned to acquiesce in the suggestion, and to a @ resolution at their meeting on Friday last to defer the cali for general conference of the Alilance to a fature period. In pursuance of a resolution of the General As- sembly, at its meeting at Harrisburg, Pa., May, 1868, continuing the Committee on Reunion for the pur- pose of “turnishing such information as they may deem best to the churches, in order to secure intel- ligent action on the subject of reunion,” the said committee met in the city of New York on the 20th day of January, 1360. It appeared, from the best evidence that vould be obtained, that while a large proportion of the New School byteries, acting on the overture set down by both General Assem- blies, had given their approval of the same, most of the Old Schooi Presbyteries re their approval only to an amended basis, for which their Assemoly expressed a preference in case the Assembiy at Harrisburg sbould concur; that 1s, to the basis of the overture with the omission tn the first article of the following words:—‘‘It bemg understood,’ £c., oras some of them have expressed their action, “the basis of tne standards pure and siimpie.”’ After a careful review of the subject the committee concluded w submit the following form, and in or- der to prepare the way for definite and untform ac- tion on the of the Presb; the committee submit the following form, not to supersede but to follow tneir previous action, in case they have already approved of the terms of the overture. ‘I'his Presbytery, navi already approved of the basis of reunion overtured by the iast General Assembly, do now, in order to a final and harmonious adjustment of the whole case, consent to the amending of the basis by the omission first, of that part of the first articie of the basis that begins with the words, ‘it being understood,’ £c., ends with the words ‘im the separate churches;’ and second, of the whole of the tenth articie of the basis.” A National Penticost.
