THE BLACK RErrRrIcASs AND THE GERMAss.-
property and personal liberty have been re-
Gently invaded by the black republicans in this
State, and particularly In this city and Brook
lyn, cannot fail to mark the beautiful consisten,
cy Of the party In it's extreme zeal for the rights
and liberties Of the negro race, who rerudiats
Its interference as impudent, wanton and un
called for.
II Is only blacks, IL seems, who are entitled
TO the benefits Of the 'higher law" White men
must be content with human law, and the worst
specimens Of it. Anything is good enough for
white men. Nigger alone are worthy Of much
attention-they are objects Of republican wor-
ship. The Germans do not forget how the
puritanical Sunday laws, enacted by repub-
lican Legislature and carried into operation
by republican police were brought to bear
upon them TO destroy their legitimate business,
and to deprive their fellow citizens and their
wives and children Of the innocent recreation
Of their gardens" 10 which they had been
accustomed in FatherIand, and which were per-
fectly free from offence to any class Of citizens
here. The principle Of republicanism Is to med.
die with everything-to NEEDLE with the domes-
tic institutions Of other States, and to meddlc
with family arrangements in their own States
to force their harsh and uncougenial puritani.
cal creed down the throats OF other men, and
compel them to digest Il under pains and
penalties. Their liquor laws, and their Sunday
laws, and their police laws, and their crusade
sgainst slavery in other States, all proceed from
an insolent assumption Of superiority over
other men, and an impudent dictaton 10 them
as to what they should DO and what they should
not do. Who made them judges and rulers
over white men a. good as themselves
The great theory Of our government is 10
govern ~ little a. possible, and TO leave the
largest liberty TO the people. The theory OF
republicsnism Is to upset all this. and to govern
and rule the people with a rod Of iron in
everything; to make them par for the same By
a constantly increasing taxation; to erect q
censorship over human conduct In its social,
moral and religious aspccs in other words, 10
es,ablhh theocracy like that OF the Jews Of
old, by which American citizens are to be re.
duccd 10 calling yoke Of bondage which
neither they nor their fathers were able 10
bear.

The Pacific TEIEGRArH.-Advices from
Washington indicate that there may be some
hope Of the construction OF the telegraph line
to the Pacific, In accordance with the provisions
Of the Law Of the last session Of Congress. That
act grants the right Of way over the public
domain TO any company that win guarantee
the opening Of the line within two years, and
also the use and occupancy for stations Of one
quarter section Of land for every afteen miles
Of the route. Upon the completion of the Line,
the Secretary Of the Treasury Is authorized to
contract with the company for government
business, on certain conditions, at the maximum
rate Of forty thousand dollars per annum.
In awarding the contract, however, the
law provides that 1t shall be given to that
party who shall agree to do the govern
ment business at the lowest price under the
fixed maximum sum, subject to the same re-
stIictions. Several bids, varying from $4,000
TO $4,000, were put in, but none Of the bid
ders excepting the party who proposed the
maximum sum (s4o,ooo) offered to satisfy the
government Of their ability to complete the
line and operate II according to the spccifca-
tons Of the Law. Mr.. Sibley and his associates,
however, who represent the connecting lines In
Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin In the East
and California al the West and who tendered
the $4,000 bid, offered securities, In the whole
estimated cost Of the line, that they win put Il
In operation within the specified time. They
show that they have the means to do II, and
also that their present telegraph stock will be
greatly benefited By Il, and, therefore, that II
would be for their pecuniary interest, aside
from the business Of the Pacific line, TO build IL
In the shortest time practicable.
Now, II Is Of no sort Of consequence 10 the
public as to who builds the line. The press
and the whole community demand the pro-
posed means Of Communication with The Pacific
Congress has authorized It. There can be no
doubt that Congress expected the Secretary Of
the Treasury to exercise bis discretion as to
whether bidders were responsible or not.
Otherwise there would be no probability that
the communication would ever be opened In
obedience 10 Congressional authority, for there
are always plenty Of sanguine, irresponsible
enthusiasts who will bid lower for contracts
than any sane, practical man would venture to
do, with any intention Of executing them.
We are very glad to learn, therefore, that
there is prospect Of The lowest bidders for
this contract asking leave to withdraw, on the
ground that they are unwilling to furnish the
guarantees which Mr.. Cobb certainly ough, TO
require from them. In such conti1 gency we
trust that The work will be awarded at once TO
those parties who alone q all The bidders are
able to execute Il The government. and the

THE HIVE OF POLITICIANS Az WoRK.-The poll
ticians Of the city, great and small, are all bu-
silly at work these times. There are four Presi-
dental tickets In the feld-those of Breckin-
ridge, Douglas, Bell and Lincoln-and the
friends of each are all alive in the grogshops and
other haunts of political agitators. Between this
and December next there are about three hum
dred offices to be filed, from Councilman to
President Of the United States; and for these
there are about seven hundred candidates, one
half of whom never intend to run, but only
get themselves nominated by few cliques Of
strikers in the different'wards, for the purpose
of selling themselves out to men who receive
the nomination from the regular parties.
OF all the candidates in nomination, real or
bogus, few, very few, are fit for the offices
they seek. The manner of their nomination
Is evidence enough Of that, and yet our mil
lionaires and merchants, and taxpayers, who
refuse to participate in the primary elections,
lest their broadcloth should be contaminated,
or their shirt rnfies get stain Of tobacco juice
and who would not associate with their candi-
dates, speak to them in the street, or dine at
the same table with them, will 60 quietly and
respectfully to the polls on election day and
drop their votes into the ballot box for these
very men, because they were nominated by
the party" By and by, when these fellows
60 to Albany or into the council chamber, and
rob the city of millions of dollars, the million
aires, and merchants, and taxpayers, will hold
up their hands and wonder that such iniquities
can be. They will make grievous means and
win run to the newspapers to know what is to
be done to check the corruption and plunder |;
but we tell them now in advance that the only
way TO prevent the evil is TO look after their
own interests at the polls, and vote for none
but decent men. Let them not send the grog-
shop nominee or hack politician to the LegisIa-
ture, and they will have no complaints to make.

Tue CHARGES A0ARsr MEssas. CRAvEs AND
TAPrAH.-The committee of Aldermen ap-
pointed to investigate the charges against
Messrs. Craven and Tappan, Of the Crotoa
Board, closed their proceedings yesterday, with
the intention Of reporting to the Board Of Al
-dermen as soon Is possible. II Is quite evident
tina. the charges against these gentlemen amount
to nothing. Their defence appeared to be com
plete; and ss the Mayor did not present himself
to substantate them, we hardly see what the
committee have to report, except that they are
all b0sh. The statements of the Mayor con-
cerning the contracts, may be all true, but Mr..
Craven and MIR. Tappan manifesty exercised
wise discretion in carrying out their part of the
duty, and they were perfectly right The sys-
tenn of awarding contracts to irresponsible per-
sons, because they happen to be the lowest bid
ders, who will not fail to put in extra claims
afterwards, IL the greatest source Of fraud aud
corruption known in the management Of our
public affairs.
Messrs. Craven and Tappan are both men of
integrity and experience, and they come out Of
this business with characters wholly unimpaired
to resume their duties, which we trust they will
be long permitted to fulfil.
