Sambo Growing Wiser.

The Selma Times wonders why so many me-
groes are leaving the Loyal League societies in
that region. We think we can explain the fact
to our contemporary. These iniquitous societies
are invariably organized by white adventures,
who have two distinct objects in view-6rst, to
pick up all the fractional currency they can
squeeze out of Sambo; and second, to ride into
Office upon the backs of their ebony friends.
In order to attain the first object they invari
ably entertain their dupes with highly colored
accounts of the practical advantages to be deriv-
ed from the association. Lands and mules and
agricultural implements are freely promised !;
but Sambo has discovered that the performance
Of these pledges is very doubtful matter, while
the demand for cash in hand to his white allies
is certain and memorable.
In addition, the freedmen find whenever they
90 into convention with their friends that they
are treated very much like men who patronize
the thimble riggers There is never pea un-
der the black mans cup when the bet is for a
nomination.
1t is very easy to understand, then how the
freedmen are becoming disguised at the idea of
paying out money and advancing the schemes
of profigate white men for whom they have in
their hearts the most profound contempt

Secretary McCulloch has availed himself Of his
power to contract the greenback currency to the
full extent authorized by law, having effected a
reduction of 81, 900, 900 within the month. We
understand that he hopes to be able to continue
this process until the amount in circulation is
SO reduced that he can resume specie payments,

country can bear without undue inconvenience

was on his way home He received two pistol
shot wounds, but managed to get away from
his assailants, five or six in number, and finally

shot about where Minear says he wounded one
of the party.

INGRATITUDE.-The Washington CORES
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says that
since the first of December the United States
Senate has rejected for civil positions more
than fifty soldiers, wounded and disabled in
the service of their country. Add to these re-
jected, also, the names of hundreds of soldiers
who for gallant services were rendered posi-
tions by the President, and we find how utter
ly insincere are the professions of love made
for the soldiers by Radical leaders. The only
cause for their rejection by the Senate wa
that they believed more in the policy Of the
President than in that of the Radicals.
