CANDID MisD.---There is nothing sheds SO
fine a light upon the human mind as candor
1t was called whiteness by the ancients, for
its purity, and 1t has always won the esteem
due to the most admirable of the virtues
Little sought for or practicsd, all do IL the
homage Of their praise, and feel the power
and charm of it's influence. The man whose
opinions make the deepest mark on his fell
bowman, whose influence is the most lasting
and efficient, whose friendship is instructive.
ly sought where all Others have proved faith
less, is not the man of brilliant parts or fat
tering tongue, or splendid genius or com.
handing power; but he whose lucid candor
and ingenious truth transmit the hearts real
feelings pure and without rcrraction. There
are other qualities which are more snowy,
and other traits that have higher place in
the worlds code of honor, but none wear
better, or gather less tnrnish by use, or claim
deeper homage in that silent reverence
which the mind must pay To virtue.

The public debt must be in o fair
way of being paid off, since the gov.
eminent can afford to give free trans
portation to negroes, roaming from
State to State. As long as such en-
courngement is given them, they will
obey their nomadic instincts; and as
long as the government NEEDLES with
them, they will DO worthless, as labor
ers.

If the Radicals are honest in thei,
professions of devotion to the best
interests of the country, why do they
not content themselves with the dis.
franchisement of rebels and not bring
into the administration of public
affairs an element so dangerous as
the scmi-barbarous negro? They
are not content with disfranchisemcnt
Of whites because, in the first place.
they are not honest in their profes-
sions Of patriotism and because, in
the next place, the leaders are afraid
to trust the bulk of their party who,
withouthopes of promotion to fat off
ces, hesitate to .pppress their neigh
bors, The necessity for negro suff-
rage, therefore, grows out of no sug-
gestion of justice, humanity, or polit-
zeal wisdom, but is intended to make
up the losses they may sustain by
detection in their own ranks. In
other words, if they were sure that
they had white men enough to do the
dirty work of keeping them in office,
the negro would have poor show
for the right of suffrage. The Rad
icals, guided by small remnant Of
sympathy, know how difficult it il
for white men to repudiate the ties OF
race and kindred, in favor of the ne
gro. Hence their distrust of their
party, and the determination to rely
upon the stupid sons of Ham for the
support they dare not long expect
from their own race.

CosanEss has passed an act, rcoui

CONGRESS has passed an act, rcqui-
ring the proceedings of the Commits
sioners appointed to examine claims
of the former owners of enlisted ne
groes, to be submitted that body, be-
fore dollar is paid out, We never
believed that compensation would be
made for that property, except in the
shape of rewards to active portizans,
or as brides to such as will consent
to become Radicals in consideration of
the paltry sums to be allowed. This
act confirms our suspicious. 1t has
still another object in view. The
Prcsidentappointed the Commission
CTS, and it grati6es.the malice Of Con-
gress thus to supervise the acts Of
his appointees, and gradually extend
their inroads upon Executive prerog.
atives. e-
" We hope that pcs dollar will be
paid for enlisted negroes, because it
win increase the public debt; because
It will reward those who were traitors
TO their own section and people,
and because the negroes were oil sto-
lon from their lawful owners, and it
will, if possible, more thoroughly,
disgrace the government to discrimi-
nate in making restitution, when JUS
tice and law demand it for all alike.
The forcible taking of private proper
ty, without compensation, is robbery
all over the world, and a partial re-
turn of conscience money, will not
excuse the robbers, in the sight of
God, or man.

H8Rsg THIEVES ARREsrED-THEY Cox.
Frss THEIR CUR AND THE HoRsEs ARE Re-
TpRSgp TO THEIR OwsERs.--On Saturday.
The 27lh uls., two young men, George W.
Anderson Of Manchester, and Wm. Kepler
Of Cedar Fails, were arrested at the depot by
City Marshal Hunt OH suspicion OF being
horse thieves. and turned over to Sheriff
Crooks, who placed them in durance vile.
Upon being closely questioned By the Mar.
shal, one ofthc parties confessed 10 the crime
and related ihe particulars Of their adven
lures. Il seems that few days previously
they made arrangements to 9 raise the wind
by running OF certain horses which were
feeding on the prairie near Cedar Falls.
They started o., just in the edge Of the ewes
ding and succeeded in securing two two.
year-old colts with which they started east.
The colts belonged respectively to Mf. Har>
rirgton and Mr. Batlcr. The thieves rode
ta Fairbanh, ii this county, and thence to
L,ileton, tiazetoa and nearly to Straw Der.
ry Point, where they f5nnl farmer who had
a rather dilapiiated team Of horses, and eff
feeed trade with him. After they had left
him il was suggested to him that they might
lave stolen The colts and he pursued them 10
E.i;ileton. Under the persnaslons OF re-
vover they started back with him. but he
had only borrowed the revolver at Hazleton
aud upon arriving there he returned it to its
owner. This was soon discovered BY the
boys who dismounted and telling the man to
so TO HI with his team, took saddle which
they had :. borrowed and started for Inde.
pendence Upon reaching the main road
they secured passage to this city in the lum-
Der wagon Of farmer who was on his way
something wrong, and reported the case to
Marshal Hunt, who arrested them IS before
stated.
Having heard these facts, Sheriff Crooks
Immediately telegraphod to Justice II. G.
Hcmenway. OF Cedar Falls. With his usual
promptness and efficiency, JUS tiec Hemen
way hunted up the owners Of the colts and
on Monday seat down constable for the ar,
rest of the thieves, who were taken to Cedar
Falls On the same day. Sheriff Crooks then
proceeded to the residence Of the farmer near
Center Point and secured the colts which
were nfterwald returned TO their owners
The promp nes, Of the officers Of the law in
this whole affair deserves special commen-
dation. The thieves seem to have been be,
ginners +. their occupalio, Their early

tary lesson as to INDUCE return to homes
