PLOWING MATCH.
The Province Of Newspapers.

1t is unreasonable to expect that the
public press will always publish only
such things as we, individually, like. A
person of strictly religious habits and
tastes will be offended il he sees in a
newspaper the account Of prize fight,
or Of something obscene and sinful. He
forgets that the newspaper is but the re-
aection of the world at large; and if he
is SO fastidious, he should retire altogeth-
er from life, for in a single street be will
find, at any given hou. Of the day, what
will offend almost all his senses. He
need not read what he considers objec-
in like manner. he need not
eat at table d'hote any highly ly-seasoned
dish. He may not likevension and game
high. Let him order something to his
taste-a veal outlet without sauce.
A newspaper would have few readers
were its dishes of news to consist solely
of pious pastry and dimsy pufs. While
the tone of newspaper is moral, the
public cannot complain. The music of
an organ may be of the purest character
though the organ itself and the organ
grinder likewise may sometimes show
symptoms of the mud and filth that are
picked up by, or scattered upon them
throughout the ramblings Of the day.
To the pur e all things are pure, ard to
find fault with a newspaper for every
"nice- offense,' is to display the hypocrisy
of prude, or the Stiffness Of an igno-
ramus.

Good Order in the south.

Radical journals are felicitating them
selves upon the quietness and good order
of the South, consequent, they assume,
upon the vigorous rule established over
the people by the Military satraps, Sick
les, Sheridan and Pope. We doubt not
that the Governments Of Russia and
Austria can indulge n a similar boast
But what does it amount to in fact? To
this merely, that people can be reduced
to the stabject condition by brute force.
If this be proper in its application to the
South, why not so in the North, which
furnishes every day an instance Of muir
der, and every hour many instances Of
outrage on persons and property, and in
every city, town, village and hamlet ev-
licences of corruption and social demor-
alization.

A Negro AristoCraCy--A Timely
Suggestion.

It has been suggested, and not without
some plausible grounds, that since the
"American citizens of African decent"
have succeeded in carrying Washington
they should send for the aged ex-Emper-
or Of Hayti, Faustin Solouque, to give
them lesson or two in the art of get
ting up an African court at the seat Of
Government. Hayti has had its Dukes
Of Marmalade and Lemonade its marqui-
ses, courts, barons, chevaliers, &C., and
it is proper that the ruling race should
prepare for the time when Senator Sam
bo will give dinners on Capitol Hill, and
Congressman Cuffee and ladies visit So
cially at the White House. This may
be set down as an exaggeration, but sure
ly the idea is working" Wendell Phil
lips black Vice President would have
excited as much derision a year ago as q
regiment of black United States troops
would have done ten years ago. There
is nothing, SO absurd and self-degrading
that the Northern people may not be led
to adopt it. if they continue to submit
to the guidance and control Of Radical
demagogues and sordid political aspi-
rants.
