Esop, who appearJ to have reflected
upon every subject, and who has fable
illustrative of every phase of life, has left
us a fable appropriate to the effort now
on f,ot to erect the negro into voter,
and to make him the white mans equal
Esop saws: "A certain man having
bought Blackamoor, was 80 simple as to
think that the color of his skin was only
dirt and filth, which he had contracted
for want of due care under his former
master. This fault he imagined might
easily be removed So he ordered the
poor black man to be put into tub, aud
was at considerable charge in providing
ashes, soap, and scrubbing-brushes for the
operation. To work they went, rubbing
and securing his skin all over, but to no
manner of purpose. for when they had
repeated their washings several times,
and were growing quito weary, all they
cot by it was that the. .,Oretched Bldckamoor
cauqht cold and died" The application is
thus given: Many people attempted
impossibilities for want of considering
the nature Of things Alright. For as pal.
pable blunder as this man in the fable
committed, there are those who are guilty
of as great mistakes, especially when
they endearor by Jimitlsss cultivation to raiss
qraees from, Ae mind or body Of Thich Meth
er is capable"

THE HERALD AND Mr.. JUSTICE CHASE

The HERALD AND Mr.. JUSTICE CHASE
MIR. Chase, now making Southern
tonr, is said to have prophesied that in
twenty-fv years negroes will form the
aristocracy of the South.
Bennett, who o week or two since pro-
posed that all the negroes in the South
who washed their faces, had religion, and
owned copy of Webster's spelling
book, should be allowed to vote, has dis
covered that public opinion has not quito
attained that point yet-indeed, that 1t
recedes farther from it with each pass
ing day.. He accordingly deserts the
Chief Justice incontinently, and takes
him rouudly to task for his heresies. He
SAYS: It is the first time that Chief JUS
tice of the United States ever descended
to that level. Chase's whole effort and
endeavor has been to bring about such q
candition of society as must induce O
war of races like that which happened
in st. Domingo.

Church last evening In introducing
him, Rev. Mr. Brown, pastor of the
church, rose and said Rev John w.
Pratt, Professor in the University of Ala

this evening. Professor Pratt was IN
old and intimate friend of mine in :, ars

honest one, and on principle. Professor
Pratt breaches this evening at my special
request. He consented reluctantly, fear.
ing you would not be willing to near him,

over and they had submitted to the au-
thority of the Government, and as he
was now from heart loyal Union man,
there was not man or woman Of any
congregation bIt would welcome him
and gladly hear him preach. II am
correct in this Judgment will you please
assent to it by rising to your feet"
Instantly the congregation rose to their
feet, and it was easy to see by the light
in the eyes of the men and women, that
the welcome was from the heart. The
Professor saw it aud felt it. His sermon
was one Of great ability and beauty of
dictiOn, and was delivered with earnest
eloquence. In his sermsn he said: 81

General Emory's standing in the army

propriety, and he adopeed the surest
method in this case to bring the matter

General Hancock did not return me to my

manner, as soon as the true construction
of the case had been laid before him.
