EDITORIAL JETTIES. Congress was billions on Monday. A bittern has been shot in Water ford, Ireland, probably the first in thirty years. Already $238,000 have been paid in Philadelphia to witness per formances of “Pinafore.” theu- aa r e ,V Tbtrx'tmnrtt itr x\_r las, Tex., soon after the murder member of the troupe at Marshall. The profit was stated at SBOO, but only $244 were handed over. The Galveston “News” says somebody has taken the- missing money. A North Carolina man committed suicide tiie other day. His neigh bors had been trying to kill him for upwards of four years, and had fired altogether over a hundred shots at him. He left a note saying he had rather die than “live in a community of such cursed poor marksmen.”— Cincinnati “Enquirer.” George William Curtis has a strong anti-Grnnt editorial in the last num ber of “Harper's Weekly.” “To say that he is the only candidate who can be elected,” says Mr. Curtis, “is the confession of a despair that we do not share; and to assert that he is the sole distinctive representative of republican principles is to insult republican intelligence.” The poets follow in the footsteps of science, and tell us that the black man is an unfinished piece of work. Science has never discovered the reason why the negro is as black as ho is, but poetry shrewdly attributes it to a press of business: “De Lord made de cullud man; He made him in de night; He made him in a hur- ry, an’ forgot to make him white.” So eminent a lawyer as Senator Whyte can never accept office with out pecuniary sacrifice. But there are few who, hiving once entered the Senate, ever retire except from the force of circumstances over which they have no control. Many great lawyers have accepted a life of comparative poverty rather than forego a public CarCCT.—“Washing ton. P.OSt,” The you 1:2 lady in St. Louis who fell . p .. Vl . jin a coachman had an unhappy experience. The father, a German brewer, accused the girl of intending to marry the coachman, and such was the fact. He consid ered the matter several days, and then very deliberately whipped the young man before discharging him. The coachman’s excitement was so great that he became insane, and has been sent to an asylum. The girl declares that she will enter a convent. Brother Haskell, “the reformed clown,” is conducting a Methodist revival in Amboy, Illinois. An ex- j cited sister fainted in one of his meetings, and he said: “Stand away, brethren and sisters, and let the angels come in and fan her. I feel as if a quarter section of heaven had caved in and all the stars were tum bling down on me. You Christians are like young pigs. I have to pull your cars off to get you up to the Gospel trough, and after you get a taste of the glories nearly pull your tails off to get you away.” Dr. McKenzie: However we may differ from the Priest as to dogma or creed, there are many who will ask no better usher to the presence of the Master after life is done; and for one, if when called by death from earth, I were in power to select from the many good men I have known, the one I should prefer above all others to lead me to the steps of the great white throne, and show me how and where to kneel in grateful adoration, though I. am not of his faith, I should choose the humble friar of Cork, Theobald Matthew, the Apostle of Temperance. Apropos of the present exodus, a good story is told by Judge Johnson, who, with Judge Elmore, of Le compton, constituted the territorial judiciary of Kansas in Buchanan’s time. Johnson says he went to visit Judge Elmore ore bitter cold day and found him out in the yard cut ting wood to keep the ten or twelve negroes he had brought with him from his southern home warm, who were huddled up around the fire, and even there, nearly frozen. The good natured master, rather than see them suffer, attacked the wood pile in his own person, and when spring came hustled them off to their old homes. It is not likely that of the thousands of negroes now pouring into Kansas one in ten will remain. THE COMMON EK. The Cincinnati “Commercial” re marks that if one of the linchpins of Mr. Stephens’ wheel-chair should get loose, or the axletree break, so that the venerable Georgian could not get into the House again during the present session, public interests would not suffer to any great extent. Mr. Murat Halstead, who ventures upon this grim and unseemly jast, has been galled by Mr. Stephens’ promin *- ' ——- ..bJ.'.’L ..'ith him is father to' inc" thought. An accident to Mr. Ste-I phens would be no new thing, but i such a one as would deprive the country of his services would be little short of calamity. Mr. Stephens must have foiled some pet scheme of the mighty Murat and his party; otherwise the ill-natured fling would have had no circulation. The New York “Herald” recently observed that the Democratic party would be saved from suicide by adopting, in good faith, Mr. Stephens’ resolution. Mr. Halstead probably wants to get rid of the Georgia Commoner in or der to remove one possible obstacle to party folly and disaster. ■ NOT FOR KANSAS. The people of Kansas do not want the hordes of negroes now moving in that direction, and, after describing the terrible condition of the emigrants, they excoriate the men who precipitated the black mass upon their soil. The Republicans of Kansas dearly love the negro in the South, but they are getting to bitterly hate him in Kansas. Indeed the people of Wyandotte have made it a matter of the last importance to issue a circular to the people of the United States, protesting against the coming of any more freedmen, un der any circumstances. They say that all are paupers, many are dy ing, at least 5 per cent, have already died, and that Kansas is the last place on earth they should’ have sought. The circular, reciting the alarming and distasteful facts of the situation, winds up as follows: We the undersigned, citizens of Wyandotte, Kansas, denounce those who are encouraging those people to come to Kansas as really their worst enemies, whatever their intentions may be, and we call upon humane reflecting people everywhere to use their best efforts to check this most disastrous movement on the part of the negro population of the South west, and to correct the utterly base less and visionary idea concerning what is before the negro emigrant in Kansas, which seems to have taken hold on the minds of the thousands who are leaving their Southern homes. We further say that the sen timents of this protest and memorial are those of the people o’s Kansas without regard to party ; and we request papers throughout the coun try to publish this, our protest and writing. “J. S. Stockton, Mayor of Wyan dotte ; Ant. Kuhls, Catholic priest; V. J. Lane, Re. E. Cable, Probate Judge ; N. Cree, attorney, and a long list of other Lames.” It is really refreshing to hear phil anthropist Windom and his fellow saints repudiated and by the Republicans of Kahsas.' The men who fostered this scheme and deluded the poor blacks of Mississip pi and Lousiana to inhospitable emi gration, dire distress and are the worst enemies of the negro, and it required an immense amount of personal pressure to get the truly loyal people of Kansas to blurt out this honest truth. - - MEMORIAL DAY. It is honorable to human nature that there should be remembrance of the dead. It would be base in gratitude if the living men and wo men of the South should forget the cause of their section and ceasT to respect the graves of valor. In JGvi ing tribute to the' departed s.oiTcis of our land, we do not instutMthe Government we live under andgfe pect henceforth to maintain, in pqace or war, but rather do we testify by devotion to our own brethren that we are worthy of the highest con fidence and trust. If we ’Ctrald possibly be indifferent to the mar tyrs for the faith, we would not' be entitled to the respect of friend or foe. The war was a dreadful ordeal. It was costly in moral and material values. It engendered horrible crimes and sorrows. But it was also filled with noble virtues and, at the last, while deplorable of itself, there will spring from it only ro bust patriotism, higher aspirations and a deathless memory of the courage of man and the sacrifice of woman. Besides, the soldiers rfj.be South did not vainly die. The mar ble shaft that records their intrepi dity is also vocal with the true issues of the cause for which they sur rendered their lives and now repose in the bivouac of death. The prin ciples for which they contended, unto their latest breath, have pot been trampled into the earth so that they perished, but rither risen from the very tomb and becomej.be perpetual legacy of a perfect Unbn. i Much of the merely material fabric of the Southern idea has gone* t* I ;.l>ut nothin" that was j vicissitudes end fearful trials of i.|ith j and constancy, the South has emdrg i ed strong, bright-eyed and satisfied. Not one of Iler precious liber ties has been taken away, and, in the Providence of God, the very means employed by the common enemy to weaken and insult her. have become the leverages of power and pride undreamt of by the most sanguine of friends and the most relentless of antagonists. So it hap pens at last that the Union is no more a bond to be hated and broken, but a bulwark of safety and power, to be» respected and upheld at all hazards. For this auspicious change we are indebted to the heroes who preserved the military glory of this land, and to the women who z have never permitted the survivors of war to become oblivious of the dead championsofa living principle. And these noble women of the land, as the memorable April day returns with the procession of the seasons, bid their countrymen put aside for a moment all present traffic and hum drum matte 's of a work-day world, and unite in paying a floral tribute to the soldiers of the spiritual armies i of the South whose banners are furl | ed, whose drum-beat 'is hushed, ! whose passions arestilled, whose wea | pons,are palm leaves, whose march j is to peaceful psalmody—the spec j tral but immortal heroes who have J crossed the river of transitory life to repose in the mellow sunshine of the life eternal. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE ? The telegraph has already recorded that Mr. August Belmont, a New York millionaire, an agent of the Roths childs, and whilom —in solemn mockery—Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, had been se riously bruised by an accident in Central Park. A grocer’s wagon was driven into the rich man’s carriage and Plutus was hurt. The poor fellow who was the cause of this re grettable accident pleaded that he was not to blame; that he was driving just behind Mr. Belmont; that Mr. Belmont’s carriage stopped sudden ly, and thus the catastrophe was precipitated. He had just got the job of driving, after many months of enforced idleness; he had wife and children dependent upon him, and it .was hard to go to jail. To jail he went, however, and now, after cx- amination, has been committed to answer for malicious damage. Had he run into a poor man and injured him, would this have been the re sult? “We fear not. Not long ago Mr. Vanderbilt, in driving his fast horses at break-neck speed, killed a poor man ; but there was little or no redress. Recently too the same gen tleman, plunged his team into a sleigh full of persons, and badly bruisedaman and woman. Had Mr. Vimderbilt been a poor man, w-ould he have had to go to jail ? Perhaps not; but, in the light of the fate of the grocery wagoner, we should say that his chances of escaping punish ment would have been very bad. New Advertisements. Administrator’s gale.
