OUR FRIEND the Philadelphia Monjng
IOst thinks We cent see the point about
Grant, and that the point is, Grant don't say
hes Republican. We think he said so when
he, with Stanton, urged Congress to hold an
intermediate session when he wanted the
bills so framed that the District Commanders
could not be removed by johnson when he
wrote his Sheridan letter to the President ;
and when he stands between johnson and
the country's liberties our only influential
friend in Washington.
But we say to the Post to the public, and
to Gl,ASr-wc believe linn to be II Radical
Republican, resoute in adjusting the new
condition of the country consistently with
the victories be gained in the field. We cx.
poet the platform Of our party, next year. tc
be National, radical, and ouispoken. Who
ever stands upon it must be in full ant
hearty sympathy with il. II he isn't liz

We call the Past to notice that we are II,
eleventh hour convert in this matter. w,
didn't nominate the General, since The Oc
tober elections, but in June, last. We ex

TuE DELAwAREAN calls our attention to
Webster's (Noah) definition of Republic.
Well, sir, what of IT, He says republic
is estate in which the sovereign power is
"lodged in representatives elected by the
people"
That is just what we say, exactly--that
ssthe people, and not merely q portion of
the people, shall elect these representatives.
That is what every American iurist and
statesman of any note declares 1t is what
Madison says, when he was explaining the
Federal Constitution to his fellowcitizens,
and persuading them to ratity it.
VIII not the Dctawdrean, in its search
after truth, hunt up and publish Madison's
definition of the .sRepublean Form Of Gov
ernment," in No. 80, of the Feleralist
There is no better Democratic authority thar
he, the father of the Constitution, its ex.
FOUNDER, its champion. Let our interlocu
tor learn of him that the whole people ART
necessary to form either Democracy or ,
Republic.
If the Dela,carean really desires to as
certain the truth, and cite authority for TIT
purpose, we can furnish the editor with it'll
and page, enough to keep it going for som'
time. Let it begin, now, on Madison.

The Washington EIpress, a very con-
scrvative paper, gives the following sensible
view of the policy pursued by the Virginia
pcople:-
The Lynchburg Virginian states il is pro-
posed to hold public meeting to consider
the labor question. Some persons propose
to have nothing to do with the negroes,
others urge that conditions be specified on
which they shall be employcd-that they
withdraw from the secret leagues and cease
to array themselves against the Southern
people. Many are anxious for the introduce
ton of European labor.
We have no sympathy with any effort to
coerce mans political opinions by refusing
him work We Away censured the CON
duct of those iron and coal men who dis.
charged hands because they voted against
the Tariff policy, just as we have denounced
free trade merchants for discharging EN-
ployees that supported the Tariff party. We
boast that this is free country. Let us
keep it so by allowing the utmost freedom
of opinion. We prefer seeing men 90 astray
to having the spirit of prescription 30 in
| fused into society as TO deny them liberty o
action. If we were Lynchburg Conserva
| tive, and thought Virginia half ruined by
negro ascendency, we would still seek Il
maintain good relations with the blacks, ant
rely on sensible appeal and kindly treatmen
in preference to coercive measures. For
| people who suffer for want of labor to tall
of denying their laboring population Worl
seems the extreme of folly. That the propo
sition should meet with any favor shows
want of a sound political philosophy, and o
| the principles of human nature as well a
| Of political economy,

The Press, concerning yesterday says the
elections were quiet, with but little feeling. AL
eyes are turned to the campaign of 'GS. New York
is Democratic, but the majority will not cqua
the fraudulent registration in the city. AIassa
chusetts is q, 900 Republican. Maryland agains
the Union. Michigan, Illinois, Nevada, and Mis-
souri,, elected local officers, and are Republican
so far as heard from. In New Jersey the Dem
ocrtts have the Legislature but as il has no U. S

Wisconsin and Massachusetts are Republican, n
usual. Kansas, ditto, though she has voted dow
both negro and woman suffrage, giving the latte

Death of Ex-Governer Andrew

The Republic, scarcely less than his own State,
suffers serious loss in the untimely and sudden
death of Ex-Governor John A. Andrew, Of Massa-
chussetts. He died at his home, in Boston, at six
O'clock the Both ult. At nine o'clock Tuesday
evening, while conversing with a friend and his
family, he felt premonitory symptoms Of apo
plexy,and requested his family to leave the room,
which they did under the suppositon that he had
some private business to transact. He aftcrward
requested his friend to call the doctors, which
they did, but they could not save his life. He re-
maincd unconscious up to the time of his death.

No Decrease Of Freedmen-Their Thrift
Zeal for Education.

In reply to letter dated November LIST.
from Colonel Forney, asking for official in
formation in reference to the alleged de-
crease ofthc freedmen, General Howard says
that the estimate of December 81, 1866, was
incorrect. While the colored population de-
creased in certain rural districts, it has cen
tired more in the towns. The census reports
give the population as 2,4S7, i55 in 1910;
3,20i,3l in 1850; and 1888, jsI, being an
| increase of IS and 81 per cent. The last ratio
would give in 1865, 4,i2s, oil, or an increase
| of i74, $50, which considering the sheltered
condition Of that population during the war,
\ is, he thinks, not too great. But admitting
there was decrease proportionate to that q
the whites, still, in 1866 there would be
4,032, $50 In regard to the belief expressed
| that they must diminish, as in the West In
| dies, under free labor, he says there the in,
crease was retarded by the cruelty and NAL
treatment of the crcoles, who were far in
ferior in civilization TO the Southern whites
| There were, moreover, bitter leuds between
the blacks, the mulattocs, and the maroons
and freedom there was followed by unbri
died excuses not known to .he Southern
freedmen, who were looking forward Il
freedom through anti-slavery agitation, an,
were much more humanely treated than TIL
slaves of the West Indies. Free negro la
Dor, in the face of all these discouragements
has raised two-thrds of the cotton crop o
1866, and the grain crop doubles any other
while there has been fair yield of rice
sugar, and tobacco. This, too, in spite of
disposition in some quarters to let land Ii
idle rather than contract with the freedmen
As regards the thrift of the freedmen
General Howard says that they have depos
tied in the various savings banks $4,000,
600, besides contributing to the establish
ment of private schools and newspapers, tn
building of churches, and the maintenance
of charitable organizations. As re
CARDS education, he estimates the number G
scholars in schools not officially reported O
400, O00 and states those officially reportc
at 5000, making an aggregate of G3s, 900
while in Louisiana, though owning eightee
millions of taxable property, they have n
interest In the public schools.
