A Confessed Failure.

The indianapolis Herald, after labor
ing diligently to develop JOHNSON
party inside the Union organization
in this State, and for months, at last
gives up in despair. II says, in its
issue of Saturday, that the attempt to
form a JOHNSON party among the Re
publicans of Indiana is failure; that
there are no sincere JOHNSON men
among the Republican leaders of this
State Those prominent Republi-
cans who declare themselves for
JoHNsoN's policy, do so, the Herald
affirms, from two motives: one, to get
office from the President, and the
other, to hold the masses to the sup
port of the Radical Republican State
and County tickets. 1t insists that
the only simon pure, original DIR.
Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, are
the Democrats who support JOHNSON
from principle. JOHNSON Republi-
cans, if theysreally desire TO save the
country, according to the Herald,
must unite with the Democrats, aid
in electing Democratico JOHNSON
Congressman, Legislators, State and
County officers, and last but not least,
a JOHNSON United States Senator
DAN. VOORHEES,, or Judge PERKINS,
=
for instance. .4..ssss~A. ..,
" To this complexion has it come at
last " We are glad to see the Her
aid throw off all disguise thus early
in the fight 1t cites the very reason
though il does itin a kind of in.
nocent way.--why the attempt to or
game a JOHNSON party is a failure.
Union men are not disposed, on mere
questions of policy, to divide their
forces and thus fall a prey to the Con-
federate Democracy They realize
that the safety of the Government de-
ponds upon the party which was sue
cessful in suppressing an extensive
and armed rebellion They would
not permit their attention to be d.
verified during the war with the rebels,
by outside issues, even with foreign
countries, and they are not disposed,
now, to fritter away their strength by
dividing upon mere questions of ex-
pediency: and consequently restore to
political power the very party which
has occasioned all the bloodshed and
loss of life that has taken place dur
ing the past four years.
This is as it should be. Let the
battle be this Fall as it has been
heretofore between the loyal, Union
loving citizens Of our country, and the
disloyal, treasnn-sympathizing resi-
dents of the same

In calling attention to the EVANS
VILE JOURNAL as means for secur-
ing the diffusion of early and reliable
information, we do not forget that the
local papers should be supported Wig
orously. There is much local infor-
nation which can be obtained only

ponds much on the manner in which
they are supported. They should
therefore receive your first attention.
1t is to the JOURNAL as a leading pa
per, working in the interests of the
principles of the Union party for the
State, that we would call attention.
The conduct of the paper, political
ly, is too well known to need any
publication of its manner or the prin-
ciples which have governed it. Tt
will continue as before, without
change.
In addition to the careful attention
to the Political Department of the
paper, special effort will be made
each department being placed in COM
petent hands-to make the JOURNAL
complete compendium of news, a
pleasant fre-side companion, faith
full market guide, and in short COM
plete summary of events in the politi-
cal, social, religious, literary, scientific
and commercial world With this
end in view, it will contain a full re-
cord of current news, market reports,

"COLORED PERSONS''-wHO THEY
ARE.

The New York Tribune objects to the
term "colored person" as assumed by or APP
piled to the late slave population of the
Southern States. 1t says it IS only applica-
BILE to those of mixed blood, and that the
full-hlooded blacl, is negro, nothing more
or less.
The Tribune has given sufficient attention
TO the subject to be regarded as authority,
and is led into the following disquisition in
relation to it:
As to the word "colored" itself, it ia used,
remarks Greeley, throughout the whole of
the West Indies, to denote persons of the
mixed race-that is partly Caucasian and
partly African-whatever the shade of their
complexion, from the fair mesclafina to the
dark mulatto, but is never applied as in
America, to the full blooded black. Nor, in
popular parlaace, is the term negro ever APP
piled to any but the pure blacks. The col
ored people of the West Indies are divided,
rs regards shades of complexion, into four
classes, according TO the proportion in which
the blood of the original races from which
they spring is mingled in their veins. These
classes are known as mdditOcs quddTO0RS,
mesics and meScidfnG-.
The offspring of the Caucasian and the
African is called mulatto; of the Caucasian
and the mulatto a quadroon; of the Cauca-
sian and the quadroon a mestee, and of the
Caucasian and the mestee a mesclatina. TO
speak more correctly, the proportion of
blood-Caucasian or African, whatever may
be the parentage, designated by these several
grades. determinines the category in which
the individual is placed. In the case of the
mesclafna, 50 faint is the tinge Of African
blood that he is generally regarded as white.
In some Of the English colonies he was for
merly held as legally entitled to the privi-
leges of a white man; hence the expression,
now obsolete, "white by law
