WAYNES noun, HA., (It "I't >I1EU III.INKM.
Arkansas lias its colored !
agitators who arc always stirring
up strife and ereatinsr trouble ninonjr |
their people as well as other sec
tions. One of these fellows lately
wrote a long letter to I'nited States
Attorney (tenoral, at Washington.
]). C., detailing a long list id" griev
ances to which the colored people
<rf that State are subjected, 'l’he
Attorney General very properly re
fers him" to the laws of the State,
and tells him if the State laws are
in conflict with the Constitution of
the I'nited States to appeal to the
Supreme Court. This was rather
cool talk, and now J. \V. Niles is
anxious to take all the darkies in his
arms and carry them to a more
genial clime.
war Dispatches from Washing
ton bring the intelligence that the
I'nited States Supreme Court,
through Justice Bradley, has de
clared the thirteenth and fourteenth
amendments to tin* Constitution
unconstitutional. Tins is as it
should he, and the rejoicing will he
general, but it will come as the
largest sort of a surprise to tin* ne
groes, who have been made to be
lieve by the Republican party that
they were entitled to all sorts of so
cial privileges. The decision was
unanimous with the exception of
Justice Harlan. Thus at last lias
theciyil rights bill with all its ac
companying evils forever disposed
of. The fact is, both these amend
ments were passed to affect the
South alone, but their action became
too general and wore much more
troublesome to the people of the
North than to those for whom they
were intended. I fence their ab
rogation.
war The tariff question looms
up before the politicians “grand,
gloomy and peculiar” in its appear
ance. It is an elephant which nei
ther party wishes to win; the mass
of the people, the consumers, who
hold the votes, want only a reve
nue tariff; the maufacturors, those
who hold the money, are clam
orous for a “high protective tariff.”
Upon these platforms stand tin 1 two
(dasses in all sections of the coun
try, regardless of party lines and
aliiliation.s. This is the difficulty
that must be mot by the leaders of
both parties—hence the dilomn.—
We arc with the people. The day
may have been when the feeble
manufactures of the country should
have been protected; but, if so, that
day has past. Capital is too strong,
crude material is too cheaply and
easily procured and skilled labor
too abundant to leave any neces
sity whatever for the protection of
our manufacturers against foreign
competition. Our home manufac
turers can produce their wares as
cheaply as foreigners can, and there
is no justice in forcing the great
mass of the people to pay an enor
mous tax to build up the interests
of the few, or to till the pockets of
the few by taking it from the
many. It is not Democratic. The
government must be supported,
and as all political economists
agree that it is better to raise that
support by tariff than by a direct
tax, there should bo a tariff lev-,
led for revenue and for revenue on
ly. All the complications of the
tariff question exist in the minds of
the politicians who fear the influ
ence of the capitalists.

BKKt’HKIt’K I.KtTLUK.
We visited Augusta Tuesday
purely for business purposes, and
♦with not the slightest intention of
lending our presence at the lecture
of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
which was delivered that evening
in the Masonic Theatre. Just before
time for the lecture to begin, how
ever, we were captured by a party
of friends from tin* ’boro, and taken
along nohobi ro/ni.s, and thus was
our intention not to be present en
tirely upset.
We were prepared to hear some
thing rich, and were not disappoint
ed. As a literary effort the lecture
was almost perfect, his figures were
well drawn and always close fitting
to the point to be illustrated. Bui
want of space forbids that we should
follow the illustrious lecturer with
anything like a close criticism.—
We must, however, he allowed to
take issue with Mr. Beecher upon
some of his theological positions;
to illustrate—and let one example*
suffice—the lecturer held that Adam
did not, could not fall—it was im
possible for him to fall. If Mr.
Beecher is correct in this position,
then there was no necessity for a
Redeemer, and lie whom the Chris
tian world has received as the
Christ was an imposter and the Blltle
a lie. This is a fair criticism of Mr.
Beecher’s position, and if this is a
specimen of his boasted “advanced
theology.” we are compelled to
write his theology down, as
blasphemy, and by its insidious
ness—being spoken by a professed
minister of the gospel—it becomes
more dangerous to the Christian
church than all the utterances and
all the writings of all the open and
avowed Infidels who over lived or
spoke or wrote upon the subject.
We have said that the lecture as a
work of art was almost perfect,
and could we have divested the lec
ture of the lecturer, there were parts
of it which we would have enjoyed
intensely. But we could not rid
our mind of the thought that he
hail used that mighty Intellect to
mislead and destroy a confiding
woman, it operated to thill the en
joyment of Ills most brilliant sallies.
But we are told by some that they
do not believe the story of his
damnning sin. We know not from
whence comes this unbelief, unless
if is predicated upon his plea of
“not guilty” before the courts. Ilis
miserable victim who, torn from a
high social position, bereft of a hap
py home and family, to-day mourns
the error of her contldcnce in sack
cloth and ashes, is entitled to some
belief in this matter. We do not
care to further delineate the char
acter of this, man who holds wo
man’s purity in contempt, who in
cites Ills people to rapine and mur
der and who can Insult his Hod
