The young mems library association Of
this city has entered upon its lecture course
and has engaged as lecturers Ralph Waldo
Emerson, James E. Murdoch, Henry Vim
cent, Wendell Phillips, John B. Cough,
Frederick Douglass, P. B. DuChaillu, the
African traveller, and Miss Anne Dicken-
son. The young mems library association
of this city is understood 10 be negotiating
with Parson Brownlow, Hunnicutt, Serene
Howe, Rev. Kalloch, Rev. Jacques, and 9TH
er notables of the pro-negro, anti-white man
party, to secure their services as lecturers.
From this, it will be understood that the
young mems library association in this city
is an institution to advance the ideas and in
terests of the pro-negro. anti.white man par
ty Three-fourths of It's lecturers are of that
party, and it is careful not to engage as a
lecturer an opponent of that party. If there
be any young men connected with the asso
citation who are democrats, they will do well
| to consider for what they are paying their
money in such membership, and the charac
| ter of the institution to which they are lend
| ing countenance and Chicago Times.

THE AMERICAN CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The Mercer County Press of the 9TH inst.
noticing the story told by Mr.. john f. Hen
ry. that "Judge Thompson has negotiated
the sale of twelve million dollars worth of
bonds Of the American Central Railway, in
Europe and is selling more" says:
81. IF Mr.. Henry received his information
from a New York agent of the American
Central he either received it from Col. w.
B. Sweet the Secretary of the American
Central who has been in New \ ork for some
time, until within few days, or from Mr..
Braggiotti, who is large stockholder and
resident director in New York. Both Mesers.
Sweet and Braggiotti are in constant com
munication with Judge Thompson, and are
reliably and fully posted to latest dates. We
have no reliable information concerning the
affairs of the road that we are permitted 10
make public, therefore what we do say must
not be considered as anything authorized by
Judge Thompson's private letters. Yet we
are aware that Col. ". B. Sweet FASTENED
home from New York last week to attend a
meeting of the directors of the American
Centeral, held in New Boston on the 3lst
ult. We are aware also, that the directors
thus met to confer upon Judge Thompson
additional authority for his assistance In pen
ding negotiations. The promptness of the
action by the directors In this matter, indi
Gates importance is attached to the lates
dispatches from the president. We are in

citizens that upon receiving the report of th'
action of the directors on the 2lst nit.

utility and hope in a minority. The night
and exercise of criticism-the virtue that dis
dams to follow power, to fatten on Its
rottenness, the independent and aggressive
dash, are the attributes of an honorable and
unterriied minority. These may be yours.
The hour cometh when oar majority will
dictate political action be sure We will not

annla We will not ostracise where we can-
NOT answer. We will not yillipend where
VIC cannot praise. We will not mob where
we cannot argue. We viii not teach for
bearance to the south while forgetting it to
our neighbors. We will try to be as christ.
ian iu the future as in the past.
In one sense, it is quite pleasant to be in
minority. 70 unot only escape response
bilities and troubles, but you will escape the
cry of the vultures and the jackals who fol-
low the live lion till he drops. You will find

VERDICT ON RECONsTRUCTIoN.

1t may safely be set down, now, that the
free people Of the United States have come
to the conclusion to put down and set aside
the monstrous iniquity enacted BY a radical
congress, in regard to military despotism
in the south, and the wicked and revengful
scheme of reconstruction.
After the seth congress passed q recon
struction bill, permitting the south to return
to the Union with or without negro suffrage;
leaving it optional with every state whether
to adopt or reject it, and if adopted giving
them more members of congress, and if re-
jected less members, the people everywhere
seemed pretty well satisfied. The elections
after the passing of that plan, went almost
unanimously republican, everywhere.
But, after these elections, the same con-
eress, at its last session, taking the result OF
the elections as evidence that the republican
party could not be defeated proceeded to i'm
pose new terms. They enacted a military
despotism over the south, forcing negro suf-
rage on the people, allowed all the negroes
to vote and disfranchised nearly allthe white
people.
This shameful and oppressive plan of re-
construction was so repulsive to every prin-
ciple of free government, and gave such ev-
idence of determination to establish a GEN.
tralized system of government, which would
in the end, destroy the power and rights OF
all the states. that the people turned from il
with horror. 1t was passed in February,
and the election in New Hampshire, the
very next month, showed that the peopl.
were turning from the radicals with disgust
and looking to the democratic party to re
store the government to constitutional prin
ciples. The next month Connecticut repu
dated the radical party. Then followed thu
elections in Keatucky, California, Maine
Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, New
York. New Jersey, Massachusetts, Wisconsin
Minnesota, and Kansas. Connecticut
California, Kentucky, Pennsylvania. New
York, Ohio, and New Jersey wheeled into
the democratic column, and the gains in tn,
other states show that New Hampshire
