The Boston Post, referring to the action

that the issue is made up, and it thus
defines it:
"The struggle is against the rights of the

fragrant forms of corruption; for the con
stitution against the party which has takel
its position outside of it; and for the Uniol

1t would seem that lthe ingenious letter,
lately written by Secretary MeCulloch, on
paying the 5-2O's in gold, is being closely
scrutinized as well as criticised in financial

"Mr. McCulloch has published a letter to

base their claim to right to participate In

Ran wade's Opinion of the Germans

Cincinnati paper, speaking of recent
speech delivered by Senator Wade, in that
city, says
His point was to persuade the Germans to
vote to put the negroes on a political and
social equality with themselves. He thought
they should so vote. He thinks the ne
groes are infinitely more intelligent than the
| Germans in all the intelligence that goes to
make good voter. He said so in his Mar
ietta speech of the Goth Of August, 1854
He not only said at that time, and on that
| occasion, that the negroes were infinitely the
superior of the Germans in political intelll
| gence, but he went further. He said the
| Germans, after FIVE years probation, and
a study of our Institutions, when they come
| to vote, "know no more than the horse they
| drive That was the argument Ben. Wade
was to put to the Germans at the Court
street market space, on Saturday night

We greatly fear that radical spunk will give

press enact such law, however, the democ.
raey will raise the war cry Of 'Repeai! Re.
neal I" and the issue will then be fsirly be-
fore the people in the presidential contest
next year. The result of the vote IN Ohio
on the question of negro suffrage. 2 few
days ago, indicates, Enthusiastically, that the
vote of the people of all the other states viii

The Washington Republican says that
General Sherman's late mission to that city
was wholly connected with Indian AFFAIRS
1t hardly needed this announcement to as
sure the public that General Sherman was
not in Washington to take part In any poh'-
ical movements. He has shown that ms
opinion concerning the proper method OF
reconstruction is not in harmony with the
one entertained by the president OF by con-
eress. So far as this question is concerned,
Sherman is a democrat. His agreement
with Gen. Joe johnson recognized fully and
explicitly the democratic doctrine, that the
southern state governments were not de
stroyed by the passage of the ordinances o
accession, or by any acts resting thereon.

The blacks, and the prohgate whites that

The Negroes of Cairo-They Demand Admis
sion into Public Schools.
From the Cairo Democrat.

From the Cairo Democrat.
A lot of colored people, acting under the
advice of one I. J. Shores, visited the public
school building on Thirteenth street, last
Friday, and claimed that free school privi-
leges should be extended.to the young me-
groes of Cairo! The speaker for the crowd
inquired of the Principal, who answered
their rap at the door, if "they had any tuiti-
oners in teese?" The reply being that the
word ''tuitioners'' was Of recent coinage and
was not known to old fogy photographers,
the whole black batch of humanity expressed
by look and gesture, a supreme contempt
for the ignorance of school teacher who
showed himself so deplorably deficient as g
| lnguist, or English "grammerer." The
spokesman then adapted himself to the lin
tied comprehension of the white teacher
and demanded that the colored children o
| CAIRO be admitted to seats in the public
| schools.
On the following evening this same maj
Shores called upon Director Wheeler, anC
asked him if he recognized" the coloret
school. Mr.. W. being domiciled only few
steps from the so-ealled "Union coloret
school, and seeing the scholars daily, limo
Gently replied that he recognized part of it
and in time probably would extend his &C
quaintance in that direction Shores ther
very modestly demand that the colored chill
dren should either be allowed to attend tn
public schools on an even footing with tn
white children, or else the white taxpayer
of the city should support the coloret
schools.
We scarcely have patience to temporiz
with this matter and were it not that tn
impression obtains with Us that some mi.

The New York Times, republican, states,
with candor. the causes of the reaction |
against radicalism in the public mind. 1t
savs:-"We do not think that the great body |
of the people, or of the republican party, are
satisfied with the manner in which this
question (reconstructisn) has been treated.
They are not satisfied that we have the right
to force universal negro suffrage upon the
people of the southern states at the point of
the bayonet, and to exclude those states
from the Union until they accept it, nor that
it would be good policy to exercise the right
if we had it. Still less are they satisfied
that it is either just, or expedient, while thus
admitting the negroes to the ballot-box,
without qualifications of any kind, to exclude
the great body of the whites,-thus handing
over the government OF those states to the
absolute control of the negroes within them.
The practical result of such policy shocks
the public sense of justice. Every man, no
matter how strong his party feeling may be.
shrinks from policy so entirely at war with
fair dealing. And while these acts of the
republican party have excited public discon-
tent, the speeches, menaces, aud loose talk
of many of its most influential members
have done still more in the same direction
The threat constantly held over the south
that if it did not take this it should be forceo
to take something worse--the menaces o
coufscation-the bullying insolence which
such men as Wade, Chandler, Nye, Ashley
and men of their stamp mistake for states
manship, and the coarse, vulgar and often
sive tone they habitually adopt towards all
who differ from them in opinion-the evi
dent purpose of leading political manager
to perpetuate their own power by exciudln:
the south from all share in the presidential
elect;on-the fulsome laudation and servil
sycophancy displayed, on every occasion
and in every relation, toward the negro, ant
the open, undisguised contempt with wh;cl
the pretensions of white men, even to Al
equality of faculties, privileges and rights
are treated by some of the fanatics VIII
claim to be republican leaders-these ar
among the things which have helped to dis
gust thousands of the calmer and more cor
siderate members of the party, and to hol
them aloof from the political contests of tn
day"
And the Times might have added tn,
these men will keep aloof from the radic'
party hereafter. They see that the radical
have made q complete failure of reconstru
ton, and they are going to let tie other sid
have a chance at it now.
