What the republican party insist upon is, that
the black man shall have the same wages az the
white man for doing the same amount of work,
and doing it as well.-Chicago Tribune.
What the republican or Jacobin party
may Or may not ''insist upon" is only impor-
tant as 1t is connected with what the Jacobin
party has done, is doing, and will do. What
the Jacobin party has done and is doing,
with reference to Ethiopians in the south, is
to use the earnings of white labor to protect
black labor in privileges which white labor
in the north does not enjoy. When did the
Jacobln party ever create, or propose to
create, bureau of government to provide
northern white laborers with food, clothing,
school books, and school ma ans :? When
did it undertake to find situations for all
northern white workmen that should be out
of employment, and, if they should choose to
leave those situations-to Strike for higher
wages or less work-tG find them other sit
uations, or support them in idleness at the
public expense? This is what the Jacobin
party has done, and is doing toward Ethio-
plan laborers. And this is what it insists on
continuing to do.
When the mechanics and workingmen in
this city struck, last spring, for eight hours
day, they found no government bureau on
which they could fall back for sustenance
until the employers should succumb to their
demands. They were compelled to stand
ION their own bottom to "paddle their
own canoe" and pay their own way. If, in
stead of white men, they had been of the
color of lampblack if, instead of skilled
workmen, they had been the worst and most
worthless of .worknen if, instead of intelli.
gent men, educated in their several callings
they had been the most ignorant, indolent
and lazy of the human species and if, with

Sea Sickness and Profanity.


From the Boston BGlletin.
Sea sickness is a sad leveler, to which the
strongest minds succumh, leaving nothing
but the desire to touch terra trina
again. An eminent dramatic artist who
has recently made a most successful tour
in California, returned east by steamer.
Scarcely bad the ship got out of sight OF
land before the Thespian was laid by the
heels with NAL de mer. In the depths of his
despaIr he called for the Captain, and when
that worthy arrived, the traeedian gazed al
him for few moments, and then asked:
"Ar-re you the Captain =
II have that honor" said the son OF Nep-
tune.
"Ver-r-y well, sir. l want You TO run this
blasted ship ashore. I'll pay for her, hull,
engines and cargo"
The Captain smiled, and told his unhappy
passenger it was impossible.
VERY well sir-r Tie her to 4 rock,
then, and stop this blasted rolling.
Being assured that this was also lmpossi-
BILE. the wretched actor retired to his state
room, and laying there in mortal agony ours
ed the sea and all that appertalned to 1t
with oaths both loud and deep.
Now. it so happened that the Rev. Mr.
| Chadband, who had collected large amount
tooth combs and tracts for the Digger lndi
ans, was on his way east to invest his funds
and occupied the state-room next to the ac
tors. Horrifed at the roars of the sick hon
he walked into his state-room just as he lei
off another vollay of anathemas which ex
torted a deep groan from Chadband. /.
HALO" said the player, 'are you sick !?
"Sick at heart, brother" was the response
t'to hear you use such language
at is bad habit" said the wrecked ar
fist. "but d-n it, sir, I've beenturned inside
out for three days, thrown up everything
possible, and if I'm sick any longer. ours

Don't my dear sir, curse so. Remembe
One who was patient under much create

The tragedian rose to his full height, and
running his fingers through his hair, as
chewed his voice for a moment, replied:
81 do remember Him, sir-r-r, and remen
Der that at sea He got ont and fDdtked, and
wish l could follow his example, in that re
spect, at least"
Mr.. Chadband concluded that any NOR
missionary effort in that direction would nj
be very profitable.

all these qualifications, they had lived III .
southern state, instead of Illinois, the case
would have been different. For they then
would have been protected by government,
backed up in their demands by the whole
Jacobin party, and supported by money
drawn from the sweat of northern labor.
The freedmen's bureau, and every other
Jaeobin device to protect negro laborers as
white laborers are not protected, is an insult
as we'll as burden to the laboring interests
of the north. 1t is all wrong. Negro labor
has no right to privileges and projections
which white labor does not enjoy. 1t is not
right to tax white labor, which must stand
on its own bottom, to furnish negro labor
with bottom not its own. The niggers are
free,-as perfectly free as any white laborer
in the north. If in freedom they cannot get
a living by work, as white men do, without
being a burden upon white labor, the YER
dict of every northern laboring man will be
let them starve.-- Chicago Times.

Seminary building, located on Orleans street,
between Buffalo and Elk. and on the lst of
April, began the manufacture of buggies,
carriages, sulkies, and other inc work in that
line. In short time he found the business
in prosperous condition, and, in fact, re-
ceived orders about as fast as he could fill
them. Feeling assured that he had placed
himself on safe basis, he then purchased the
building, which is admirably adapted to the
purpose. 1t is substantially built four
story brick, 80 feet by SO, with high cell
ings, and good solid floors; perhaps in the
city no more available structure could be
found. He employs twelve men at cost OF
1000 per annum. His stock IS received
from Ohio, and is ofthat fine quality deman-
ded by the character of the work. Mr..
Stiles claims to have built the first cutter
in Rock Island, that made any pretentions
to finish and elegance. At the county fair
he received the premium on fine buggies. On
looking through his establishment we no.
ticed several elegant coalbox buggies being
finished for delivery to some of our citizens.
Judging from their appearance and cost, we
are quite sure that Mr.. Stiles can offer a
vigorous competition to the manufacturers
OF any city in the country, in his line. With
first class material and first class workmen,
why should he not? In addition to carriage
making, he is doing general work of all
kinds, including the making Of wagons, and
| repairing. Besides the extensive building we
have mentioned, he has several store and
out houses, and is in every way equipped tc
| supply the demands of a large home trade.
Some time in the summer of 1864, Franz
Ill located at the corner of Rock River anc
Exchange streets, and commenced repairing
| and wagon making in all their branches
By the simple secret of doing good work anC
| attending closely to his business, he has bull
up fine trade, and at the present time il
very much pushed to fill his orders. He i
| selling wagons in Mercer, Warren, Knox
| Henry, and Rock Island counties, and not
few to the farmers of Iowa. The buildin!
he occupies is two stores in height, and 8
| Dy % leet IN size, IN aQultiOn 10 SeTeTal GU
out houses. He employs nine men constan,
ly, at an annual cost of seven thousand dol
lars year. This year he has sold over one
hundred wagons, and is hard at work turnin
. out more. Such is the reward of enterprise
!, By these facts it will be seen that WACO
, and carriage making in our city is fast a
tataining extensive proportions-that non
of our manufacturers in this line can Fl
J their orders, and that they are in no drea
of healthy competition. They believe the
can enlarge their field ad infnit,sm, and ar
: working towards that end as rapidly as the
] facilities will admit. In addition to benefit
$ ing our city in hundred other ways, they al
paying out over .t!fty-tOo thousand do1la'
e per gear for labor in our midst, and III
sum mus. ofnecessity be yearly increased
That they may continue to increase an
flourish is the wish of every good citizen.

The People Speaking.

Though the democratic New York. state
convention was silent on the subject of pay
ing the Understanding debt in greenbacks,
we notice that some of the democratic county
conventions are not so reticent. The demo
cratic convention of Orleans county re-
solved
'That we are opposed to the present national
banking system and ali kindred systems which
favor capital at the expense of labor and serve TO
make the rich richer and the poor poorer. That
we believe in one kind of money for all, and that
kind the best the circumstances will allow.
And hereby declare that the money ,0hich a
good enough to pay the MANNED soldier has pension
and reconpease the laborer for has tott, az good
enough to pay the bohdhoider for the small per
centage he advanced the government in the time
of its need"
The democratic convention of Niagara
county resolved:
THAT regarding the national debt an obi
cation growing out of the necessities of the war
it is no more sacred than the debt due to the sol
der that the currency that is goodenough to canoe
the nations obligation to the captains widow
| the sergeants orphan, the armless corporal, ane
the manned private, is good enough for money
enders that the currency that is good enough tC
pay the merchant for his goods, the mechanic ol
his labor, the farmer for his wheat, is, gooC
| enough to pay any government indebtedness
whatever"

Miscellany.
\ Roland Cor AN Oliver.

Lord St. Vincent was exacting upon minor
points OF etiquette to degree which was irk-
some to his subordinates. IL was the custom
for lieutenant from each ship in the fleet to
60 on board the Admirafs ship daily, believe
for orders, but the office was always fulfilled
unWiIlingly. On one occasion, and in a par
ticular vessel. dispute arose among the lieu
tenants, each trying to show that the duty
was not bis, until TO the great relief of the
Others, spirited young fellow volunteered.-
He went on board and introduced himself 10
the Admiral, then Sir John Jelvis, who after
scanning his uniform, said. IL cannot give INV
orders to you "Why not, sir?' III don't
know who you are III am lieutenant. y
Il should not judge so from your dress.o 81
am aware of no defect in my dress" sYou
have no buckles on your shoes" The hen
tenant departed, supplied the omission, and
returning, again presented himself upon the
Admirafs quarterback, prepared to take his
revenge. The first fornialities having been
gone through, Sir John was proceeding to
give his instructions, when to his great sur
prise, the lieutenant said he could not take
his orders" 'sWhy not ?" inquired the startled
Jervis. II don't know who you are? ?, was
the reply. 81 am Sir John Jeryis, command
er-in-chlef of his Majesty's fleet, DC" Il can
not tell you by your dress flor in truth the
admiral wore a simple undnss.) Sir John,
without another word-fOr he was fairly
eaught--retired into his cabin, whence he
soon emerged in the full costume of an ADM
raj, and the officer, having expressed his sat
istacticn, received his orders. The story goes
that speedy promotion followed in this case.
for Jervis had the good sense to appreciate
the spirit as well as the wit of the other.
