It ia absurd to confound a simply eocLl privilege with a political or civil right. Constitutions and laws do not at* tempt to regaUte purely social interoouse. The liberty of the slave and suffrage for the freed men, and the civil rights genet* ally, wb \ch pertain to citizenship—these are the questiaoa on which political parties have been divided—iho Republican party advocating, and the D moora*io party denouncing the bestow*! uf «nch rights and powers upou the colored raco. The social relation-* of mankind depend upon custom, which is ucwritten law: upon the ftffi.iitie* ot humin nature ; uprfi that intangible, but omaipatent code of etiquette, which estibJRhes rank and precedence, and oeremjoy, as well am mg savage triboo as ei.ilizid na'ioua. Tbe distinctions of pUrc, and all ibe icBigoia of superiority we just as muoh aouaht for and envied ia **a fieroo democracy,” and ■the barriers which isolate and separate oi«*eaar* j^t as powerful in a republio to under * luonaTohiDri. crown.li ia idle to argue agiiori thesedistinction*, because they neveroan be eradicated. They always hare existed and always will exist. Tbe colored people have now received ail that law oao give them, and they have to thank the Republican parly for it. They can only rise in the social scale by their own exertions; by their own merit. This is the doctrine that Frederick Douglas has preached to them for years. How many times has he upbraided hid people for herding in oitie*, content to be scullions and boot-blacks ? How many times has he exhorted them to make farm-ersand mechanics of themselves, and to soek homesteads off their own as the basis of independence ? The mUlenium of social eqaalitj with whites will never some by grumbling or repining. It will equally rosiet entreaty and force. The colored race have many obstacles to contend with. They have been the objpot of infernal oppression at the South and persecution at the North for many generation?. No wonder they are almost bewildered by the boon of freedom and suffrage. No wonder they are fawned upon and courted by the Democracy, from whom they almost instinctively turn with resentment and suspicion. No wonder if in their embraoe of Republicanism they should be loo lavish and gushing in their endearments and familiarity. Lit us all be patient. Time makes all things even. It, as Darwin •ays, we are all descended from the monkey, we certainly show what education cum accomplish, and though the colored man is the last to get out of the woods, ho may yet oatoh up. It takes ages to evolve the capacities of races. To brttnkiaut in your own home, and to earn the royal, is m much an honor to a man as io dine with a President ul two dollars a tickut.3Sbeea1ST3A Labor Striae oh the Mill Farm A large flowing well was struck on the Mill farm, near Pleasantville, last Sitnr* day. The land interest is owned by Mr. A H. Bronson, and the well bj Mr. Ch»B Seatt. The well is 850 feet deep, and 11 feet in the third sand. When the to*»i at rook the ere vice at that depth, a large volume of oil the full six a of the hole shot forty feet above tbe top of the derriek3 and it baa continued to flow ever since. On Sunday 4 he yield of this well was averaged at 4'JO barrel* per day, but last evening itwas estimated at brtwaeo 275 and 300 bar*rels per du;, but these reports are doubt-1ms exaggerated.The ‘ flariyrM lee andNewspaper*hi*WHAT A BRPRMlNTATrV® COLORED MAN THINKS OP THEM BOTH.Iditon Homing Herald:If it wera possible to surprise the older and more experienced portion of the colored citizens of Titusville, by any exhibition of ground-snddofty-tumbling, that element Would have become eminently excited on Friday and Saturday Iflet, when that veracious sheet, known aa the Titusville Daily Courier, announced ita triumphant victory over its hereditary proclivities, and proclaimed to »n astonished public the successful execution of a fltnpendoui omereautt, followed by firm oonvertion, from inveterate aversion, hatred, and persecution, to intense admi-ration, faff eel ion, and friendship (?) for the negro race in general* and for the Titusville portion of it in particular.The enthusiasm engendered by the n-nouucemaiit of thia AVr ARKNT Ly auoooss-ini leat of aerobacy, among the lest wary and inexperienced portion of our people in Democratic tactics* at first was Bticb as to suggest the engagement of the *Oor-net Btud,” with a view of treating 4*ye local” of the (burter to a given quantity of Hiil Columbia” straight, by way of acknowledgment of bi» stupendous efforts in the interests of African freedom, es-ppoially since the “situation” oatab!i?hcd by the fifteenth amendment, bas so oom-plotsly whitewashed his formor “gorilla ” as to render him very nearly resembling the ‘'heads” of his (hitherto) pet institution, “a white iaan\* government/*This suggestion would undoubtedly have bcon fully carried out, bat for the presence, end peraiatfnt |opposition of worn veterans, whose acired bocki*. callous wriste aod ankles, still bear witesa ofcoi-flicts many, oft, and unequal, with tha fiery dragon, whioh once pursued, trampled, tore, and oppressed them in the rioe swamps and oottou fields of the Democrat's Paradise. Thwe had -trod the wino press alone; their blood, their tears, «°d tbe blood of those dearer to them than life (but whom they were powerless to shield), watered Southern soil, through the support and sympathy of the slavo-worshipping, slave propagating, reb-ilioa-nbetting Democratic press of the North, without whose willing aid America would many deoadea since have enjoyed the glorious liberty achieved for her by tbe Herculean labors and unwritten sacrifices of her Ii^pablioan som.These men, and women, cannot forget that it is to tbe 6b?mrand kindred sheets, that they are indebted for the infliction and perpetuation of the flagrant wrongs and inconot ivble miseries sustained under the yoke of slavery, and henca that such sheet* are the genniae authors of our low estate in this land, an estate which they (uatil reduced to tbe dire necessity ot seeking our aid to re*raeve their waning for tunes), lost no opportunity to reproach ua of. And yet, with this ignoble p*ge of history in which himself and his p.irfcy were (ind are) the sworn actors, bo a*ke us to forget their wanton inhumanity* become traitors to tbo staunch friends who shed their blood for our redemption from tha shackles forged and riveted upon us by his party when In power, and which proceeding they would repoat to-morrow could they do po.It is also to them that we owe the persistent and cruel perpetuation of those inveterate prejudices between the races, ptodactive of the ejectment of tbo Courier's owu envoy from the Par^-hall House on Thur-day lost, a proceeding of which the editor of thafc^tsbefct should, in our opinion, be the last to complain, as there remains not the remotest doubt in our minds that the whole proceeding wase a well concerted ruse to kill two birds with one stone, i- C-, to stab ouc friends ia ihe d rk, and at the same time efevnto their colored dtummer” to a martyr’s niche, thereby conoentrating upon him ihs sympathies of hia race, whioh at- the proper time might be directed into D moertio sluices.Unfortunately for tbe sucoeea of this well prepared txperiment, both the eofrL«ittr from Mr, Herbberg*Editor* Homing Herald:In deference to your expressed wishes, I shall be very brief in thia olofiiag epistle to the colored people ; and right here let me eay that I have not yet seen any argument to ohanga my views expressed lest Saturday.I am well aware that the law secures to colored men their civil rights, hut unfortunately lor their raoe, those laws ran contrary tu public opinion, for which I can only feel eorry.but had no share in creating. I believe it to be good policy on the part of the colored people, or anybody dse, not to attempt to crowd themeelvea into assemblies where they have reason to think they are unwelcome. Bat if the coloredpeople wish to run their heads against the atone wall of prejudice and get hurt in their feelings, they must fiuffdr for their lack of discretion.To thoae four columns of special pleading ia this morn in g* e Courier f in thecomposition of wbiob the best talent of it? editorial staff was employed day and night, and to which several oolored men have appended their names and lend their influence, I do not think it woith while to reply* as it is beneath my dignity fight the proud Oauoriane who ekuik behind their African protectors. But if the colored people wish to te^t tbe sincerity of Democratic professions let thorn buy a few tickets for the drroircle of our opera house from tbo gonial Democratic manager, Cbas. S.

L HKR£UJ3RG.For the tLondon Assurance'' Last Night.-—The opening performance of V. E. Beamer's company of artists at the Opora-houea last evening was not witnessed by a very large audience, though tha dreBS circle was well filled, as were portions of the family circle and parquette But those who were present were all pleasantly disappointed in tha manner m which BtticiaauH’* c\e* g*nt comedy of London Assurance” was rendered, and wo prcdiot that to-night the Opera-house will contain an audience more in keeping with the claims of the present company of artists upon the public. The oharacters of last evening were portrajed in superior manner by the actors assigned to the different parts. Mr, Eiwards ew Sic Hnrcourt CjurUy,” cave a moat h.»ppy impersonation of the highbred, intense, though aomewbat blase gentlemen of leisure, as courteous in an intrigue as in diplomatic circle*, and it was a fiaa and harmonious piece of acting.

We know oar friends. Wa know our rights. We shall also know when we are wronged; and until we are we will tenaciously cling To tbe staunch Republican bridge which safely passed ns from slavery to freedom.With regard to the visit of General Grant, we regard it aa a merely social *veot, and one which tbe citizens of our city, without political distinction, embraced to express their admiration, and approval of tbe manly, dignified and truly magnanimous oareer’he has pursued as a eitiz-ja, a f-oldier and as chief magistrate of this mighty nation.

The Nilsson concert will bo the greatest musical treat we have ever had in thia city. It is unnecessary for ug to wcito of the wonderful talents cf Mile. Nilsson. She has created a perfect furore wherever abe hoe sung, end baa been pronounced, in Borae respects, superior to Jenny Lind. We are certain she will have no cause to regret a visit to thie city.
