We are a little surprised at all this ! The
Sun and other bead-lights of the moral and
progressive party insisted that Grant wu» a
statesmen : and that ids party was made up of
statesman all - ' Lie so perfect in their win*
lioin that hi,.’, even though he be a dumb'
head, could make no mistake in selecting, a
Cabinet. ' '
What has boeoi-uo of Jjrnid’# superhuman
wirdoiti? Whom *is that. tuAS* of jjetrified
shiti-sumnship, ealletl Urui . . which so filled
(j rant's lips that Ids lips could not often ? We
arc surprised to think that Grant is not a
statesman, or that he should have other than
statesmen surrounding him.
Asa student at West Point, lie was net very
successful ; as a promoter of discipline during
bis early connection with the army he was not
a success ; as an advocate of the temperance
cause, lie never accomplished much; as a far
mer, ho amounted to nothing ; as a tanner, he
could dump green hides into a vat, but could
not make leather of them. And so it is with
the political affairs of the country. lie can
put everything in soak, but to save his life,
cannot bring order out of the chaos he has
helped establish.
“A statesman is wanted.” Well, the Dem
ocratic party will furnish one in a short time.
Before many years the people will have learn
ed the difference between wisdom and ignO'
ranee • between patriotism and fanaticism;
between Republicanism and Democracy. They
will have tired of the splendid display made
for them by the party in power; will have
learned * i..dm.i from the le -ons of the past,
and take precious care that -in the future they
elect us Chief Executive ol the nation one who
will be himself a statesman, and surround him
self with advisers who arc the same.
But don’t ldamo Grant. God Almighty
never intended mile-posts tn talk ; you can cut
letters upon the stone, and call it a statue, a
man ——but thrt does not make it so. Imitations
are not realities. Meanwhile let those who
are finding fault with a President of their own
selection derive consolation from the fact that
time is.flying, and that it will not bo many
months before there will be another President
olected, who will, in all probabilities, be not
only a BtatM»:i:i, but an honest man. —N. Y.

A White Man’s Government.
At an Educational Convention lately held
in Louisville, Kentucky, P. 11. Clark, a well
known colored mm of Cincinnati, delivered
which is highly heterodox according
to Radical theory and practice. The following
is an extract from the address:
“I trust that I shall shock nobody's preju
dices, alarm no person’s fears for my sanity,
when I, a colored man, and a life-long agita
tor for colored men’s rights, declare, as I do,
that this is a white man's country. In all its
wide spread grandeur of mountain, valley and
plain, of river, lake and ocean, of densely
crowded city and uninhabited wild, from ster-'
ilc," frozen Alaska to the warm shores of the
Gulf, this country belongs to the white man ;
.0) him and his heirs forever. Tt was a white
man’s ship that burst through the gloom
which had shrouded this continent from the
.yes of the Old World for so many centuries,
t i fi I it'was a white man who leaped first upon
tihejSliore, claiming the new land for himself
pamUhis brethren.
White men have 'conquered this continent.
Its teeming fields, its mines, its wealth produ
cing industries, its thousand cities, belong to
them. This a' white man’s civi'ization.—
Wi gain enlightenment from a literature
'which, in all its varied departments—philoso
phy, theology, physics, mathematics, poetry
land the drama—white men have been perfee
e’ting fur three thousand years. This, too, is a
whiteman’s government. Our Union of Statos,
our guarantee of free thought and free speech,
dtir method of enacting laws by men selected
by the people—all these are his peculiar
modes, and are the crystalised results of his
Political experience. In nur hors, in intellect
sid energy, the white man stands at the head
all the races which have found a home in
Queries. White men have oome to us by
ub Ad reds of thousands each year - T by millions
"sfccry ten years. They have, do, and will con
trol the destinies of tho people residing upon
Liis viitment.”
vyo No Hoots or Hurrnhs.
• demonstrations would probably have
tifjjln made by citizens in some ol tjie Northern
allies. There would have been a greater
profusion of flags in any city north of tho
Ohio river (there wasn’t a flag unfurled
within tho city in lien ox of tho guests except
[ntlho headquarters ,f the society, and at tho
ball ,ivh«t-e the meetings were held-,) and the
jpbyF a Ijttle fnrther North eotildn't have re
il&M&tt from making a little unusual noise if
MgMyia'd seer, a score or more of men of-mili-
from thq Commander-in-chief
the United States, down to tho
rkhmod beifrAfdrllf HW iMfiblßSVfffflbsser fatik,
all of whom distinguished themselves in war,
marching in double columns through their
streets. But the Louisville boys behaved
themselves remarkably in this respect. They
saw Gens. Sherman, Sheridan, McDowell,
Pope, and a dozen others, marching to and
from the rendezvous, and they didn't yell at
them, hurrah for them, or cheer them. Even
the little buys who
fire engines, nn l ait jn- the third tier at the
theater,, di.j njtt*stj«k their fingers in their
mouths arilwhistle at them, In these respects
the behavior of the citizens was of that com
mendable nature peculiar to Louisville and
more Southern cities. In every other respect,
the reunion was much the same as might
have been anticipated in any well behaved city,
unless it were with the single exception of the
lunquct, which would hardly have been equal
ed if gotten up outside of Kentucky ; nr, to he
more definite, outside of tho Galt House.—
II;iw many noses wero elevated (on the sly) it
is hard to say, hut they wore many. Not so
many would liavo turned in any Northern city
of alike population.—[Louisville Cor. Cincin

A Louisville Romance.
The New Albany Ledger says: “Years and
years ago a worthy young man of foreign
birth arrived in the city of Louisville in search
of employment. lie at length obtained a sit
uation as barkeeper in a fashionable saloon. —
To this establishment came bright and early
every morning a little girl with mint for sale.
She was always dressed tidily and carried a
suiting face. The young barkeeper took an
interest in the child, and upon inquiry learned
that she did hot carry her sunny face with her
mini only, but also in her own home, and in
the humblest employments. Setting apart a
pjrtion of his own earnings, he sent her to a
school, and she soon surpassed most of her
mates. lie then employed music teachers for
her, and she soon became a proficient.
Years rolled on, and fortune favored the
young barkeeper. He became Hie owner of
an establishment of his own. Tho wealthiest
men in Louisville were his friends. The poor
little mint seller had now grown to woman’s
estate, and was as accomplished and virtuous
as she was beautiful. She in time became the
wife of tho man who had early befriended
her. The man is now reckoned to he ono
of the wealthiest men of Louisville—a large
owner of real estate —respee’ed by all who
knbw him for his noble qualities, of which
kindness of heart is the chief. We read ol
such events as these in the story hooks, l.ut
they seldom occur in real life. This, how
ever, is true to the letter.”
The North Carolina Legislature is endeav
oring to hold over four years in order to elect
Holden to the United States Senate. A reso
lution declaring that the present term expired
in August was voted down.
It would seem that by sorrows only we are

Lying Ignorance.
“The great Washington door for the new
, Capitol is popularly known. On one of these
panels is .seen tho rebuke Jof Gen. Loo by
Washington at Monmouth. Washington had
always snspeetilfl Lee of disloyalty, and on
this occasion found that he had failed to carry
out his express orders, and had commenced a
cowardly and disastrous retreat. Washington
is seen as having ridden rapidly to where ho
meets Lee under a tree, and, rising in his stir
rups, administers a rebuke. Tho singular
thing abqut this particular pane! is thaf'Jef-
Dattys tvas one of the commissioners to
oxamine Crawford's designs for this historic
work, and m .this way stood sponsor for the
Withering shame thus emblazoned on the an
cestry of Lee.”
AYc take tho abovo from the Washington
correspondence of the Philadelphia Press. It
is a cnarqpteristic specimen of. tho way in
which Radical writers pervort history in tho
effort to make it subservient tu their malig
nancy. Tho' masses ofjfche people may not
know, hut every intolligyit school hoy deserves
to be whipped if he is ignorant of the fact that
tho General Charles Lee, whom Washington
relinked at Monmouth, wa . an English military
adventurer of fine abilities, but of a captious,
envious and turbulent spirit. There was no
relationship whatever existing between him
and tho Lee family of and tho only
resemblance between them was in the simi
larity of name. The correspondent of the
Press, in his eagerness to make a telling point
against Mr. Davis and Gen. Robert E. Lae, has
overshot his mark, and is either a knave or an
ignoramus. Mr. Davis well knew the distinc
tion between the General Charles Lee whom
H nshington so sharply censured at Monmouth,
and Light (torso Ilarry Lee, who wns’the im
mediate ane-stor of General Robert E. Lee,
and to whose high merits as a soldier Genera!
Greene bore tho warmest testimony. To whom
after the war was over, Washington oont his
low and thanks.” So the only “sponsor for
the withering shame thus emblazoned on the
ancestry of Leo” is theßnflifal Slanderer, who
clai ms the honor to he the spe-hil Washington
corre%iondont of tho Philadelphia Press. The
medium is worthy'of tho theme.

Choosing a Wife.
Keep your eyes open hoys, when you are
after a woman. If the dear little thing is
cross and scolds her mother in tho hack room,
you may be sure you will get particular fits
all around the house. If she apologizes for
wiping the dishes, you will need a girl to fan
her. If she blushes when at tho wushtuh
with her sleeves rolled up, be sure, sir, that
she is codGßi aristocracy, has httlo breeding
nnd little sense. If you marry a woman who
knows n thing but to commit manslaughter on
the piano, you nmv have got tho poorest piece
of muslin ever gotten up. Find the one whose
mind is light, and then piteh in. Don’t he
hanging around like a sheep thief, as though
ashamed to ho seen around in the day time,
hut walk ur> like a chicken to dough, and ask
for tho article like a man.
The Americas Courier locutions a most sin
gular circumstance. It says: “about ton days
ago, a little hoy between fivo and six years
old, son of Dr. J. F. Cato, of Bottsford, in this
county, was deprived, by Providenee, of speech
and hearing. He had retired to bed as usual
in good health; sometime in the night ho was
heard to utter a scream which attracted the
attention of Lis mother, (his father being
away from home at the time,) who went to see
what was the matter. Finding him soundly
sleeping she returned :o her rest, thinking,
nn doubt, that he hud been dreaming. Tho
next morning the little fellow arose at the usual
hour, hut to tho astonishment of his mother,
he was both deaf and dumb, and still remains
in this condition.
Find fault only when you must, and then
in private if possible, and sometime after the
ofi’en-o. The blamed are less inclined to re
sist when they are are chided without witness
es : and the aecu ed, may lie impressed with

VOL 4. NO. 6
Fears ol the Brave* »
It is a cuTrious fact that man who have been
prodigal of their lives in battle, and have
passed through many “hair breadths i* th*
imminent deadly breach,should have so great
a dread of death when it comes from the hand
of an assassin. It is said that Cromwoll was
never seen to smile after he had read “Killing
no Murder/’ in which was advocated
sassinntion. Sir Noil Campbell, in his jour*
nal lately published, gives i]K a graphic ac w
count of the fear which Napoleon felt for his
life during the journey from Footainbleau to
Mba. On leaving Orange, where he had bean
received with derision and abuse, ho left his,
earring, and enveloping himself in a Russian
cloak, and wearing the white cockade in a
common .round hat, ho rode on in advance of
his escort, accompanied by only a single coui>
ier, and during the rest of tho journey re%
peatedly changed names and clothes with the
commissioner's who accompanied him. So
chary, then, of life* was the hero of Lodi.—

Gratifying.
Whatever else, says the Local Editor of the
Telegraph & Messenger, may ha said of the
State Fair, it is exceedingly gratifying to “ye
local," to read in Northern exchanges, the very
complimentary terms in which strangers front
abroad are pleased to speak of the people whoso
morals he and the preachers are presumed to
have in keeping. They say the people of
Macon are a kind, polite, intelligent poopl*,
ana thatT during their presence at the Fair,
they enw no rowdyism, drunkenness, or any
of aka-kluxer. This is good. It throws
i: ham of excellence and power about the point
ot ye local’s quill, that is exceedingly gratify*
mg, and covers the ministers in our churches
all over with glory. Praise from an enemy a
the highest praise mortal ever won, and when,
as in this ease, it proceeds from -men who lead
the columns of the God and m .ralitv party, it'
partakes of the soothing ingredients of a bless*
ing. It’s bully.

of national independence unequaled, by any
oilier power. These blessings and countless
others are entrusted to your care and mine,'
for the brief period of our tenuro-of-offiee.—
In a short time we must, each of us, return
to the ranks of the people who have conferred
our honors, and account to them for our stew
ardship. I earnestly desire that neither you nor
I may be condemned by a free and enlighten*
od constituency nor by nur own consciences.
Emerging from a rebellion of gigantie mag*
nitudo, ai led, as it was, by the symoathios
and assistance of a nation wiih which we
aero at peace, eleven States of the Uniou wore
f>ur years ago left without legal Stat*
governments. A national debt bad been
contracted. American commerce was aw
most driven from the seas. Tho industry of
one half of the oountry had been taken from
the control of capitalists and placed where all
labor rightfully belongs in the keeping of the
laborer. The work of restoring State govern*
inents loyal to the union ; of protecting and
fostering free labor, and providing the means
for paying tho interest on the public debt, has
received ample attention from Congress, a!«
though your efforts have not met with success
in all particulars that might have been desired.
Yet on tho whole, they have boon more success*
fui than could have been reasonably anricipn*
tod. Seven States which passed ordinances of
secession have been fully restored to places in
tho Union. Tho eighth, Georgia, held an
election at which sho ratified her Constitution,
republican in form, elected a Governor, mem.
bers of Congress, a State legislature and other
officersroqnirod. The Govornorwas installed,
the Legislature met and performed all Aots
then required of them by the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress. Subsequently, however, in
violation of the Constitution which they had
just ratified, as since decided by tho Supremo
Court of the State, they unseated colored mem
bers of tho Legislature, an i admitted to seats
some members who arc disqualified by tlio third
clause of tlw 14th amendment, a:i article which
they themselves had contributed to ratify un
der these circumstances. I would submit 10
you whether it would not be wise, without
delay, to enact a law authorizing the Governor
of Georgia to convene members originally
elected to the Legislature, requiring each to
.take an oath prescribed by tho Reconstruction
Acts, and tome to bo admitted who arc ineligi
ble under the third clause of the Fourteen h
Amendment. The freedmen, under the pro
tection which 'hey have received, are making
rapid progress in learning, and no complaints
arc hoard of lack of industry on their part,
