dollars to a groceryman. He then purchased

The project, says the New York
Times. of inducing white emigration
to the South in order to Offset and
aoverbear the negroes in the matter Of
reconstruction, is a very good one, but
it won't work. That is its only defect.
Whites viii not go South until the
South has resumed It's place in the
Union and again acquired some de-
gree of political power Men can live
under a bad Government much
better than under none. There
are thousands of Northern men who
would not like to live in State con-
trolled by laws made by negro votes,
but they would prefer that to living
in State which had no laws at all.
Whites will not go South for the pur-
pose of engaging in contest with the
blacks. Let the Southern people
make haste to get back into the Union,
to form and adopt State Constitutions,
esta lish State Governments and
make State laws; then they can invite
white emigrants with some chance of
success. Aud if their Governments
need reform the whites can then help
reform them.

THERE is a rumor afoat that the
Washington friends of Chief Justice
CHASE wish to purchase the National
Lu'elhgencer, but that it is not for
sale; also that President JOHNSON is
in favor Of CHASE in preference to
General GRANT. Both reports are
probably without foundation. The
present organ of the Administration
could not. if run" in his interest,
be of any service to Mr.. CHASE, and
as for the preferences of JOHNSON,
they are of no account one'way or the
other. OF the two, however, it is
highly probable that A. j. would pre-
f Judge CHASE, or any other man"
to General GRANT. The fact is this,
ANDY's preference is himself, and

bound to fall deep into the pool Of
oblivion, to be remembered only as
a disgrace to his country and his race,

would drag all great and true men
