A Soathern RditoP's "Reminiscences.
The Memphis A~ralanche, q journal
usually very violent in its tone, in
dulges in the following chance bit of
sentiment: s-- NrEs.. All
Late at night, while the fire and
lamps burn low and dim, we lay down
No. 10,O39, Vol. LXvIII. of the National
I%Htelligencer, and lean back to think,
overcome by the many memories which
its familiar caption calls up. We have
read it constantly for thirty-two years,
minus the four bitter years Of civil war,
and had the good fortune to know its
old editors, Joe Gales and VIM. w. Sea-
ton, both great and good men, now num-
bered with the dead, but of immortal
memory. Not only of these princely
gentlemen does the L~ntelligencer remind
us, but Of many, many another whom
we were fortunate in knowing, and
whom the country has lost-Webster
and Clay and Crittenden, Dawson, the
Commodore of Georgia, peerless at the
dinner. table; Rusk and Houston, Floyd,
kindest hearted of all living men; that
noble gentleman, Butler, Of South
Carolina; Prentiss, worthy to be
called C~hrysostom, golden,mouthed,
and not only beyond comparison the
most eloquent, but the most genial
and generous Of men; large headed Tom
Corwin; Keith, gallant and good; Dad.
ger, wise beyond other men, Of admir-
bic wit, and always enamored of the
truth; Sewer and Douglas, Clemens and
Quitman, with many a dear old familiar
face, of others less known to fame and
more beloved, crowd around us as
We write; the dead mingling with the
Porter of the Spirit and Inman
the artist, and glorious John Brough-
am, and Alexander Dimitry, ~large-sonl-
ed as M of Homers heroes and wise as
Plato; Breckenridge and Bonham, Boyce
aud Robert johnson, four men of like
princely natures; all these and many
like these we met at Washington in the
better times, when the Senate Of the
United States sat in the old Chamber,
and that city was the Capital of both
the Northern and Southern States.
iEhea, 5ssacesi hsw the years drift away,
and we became garrulous, and forget
that the long list of names, and the
memories they call up, Of the reflections
Of the gods and times gone never
to return, and cenes already dim As
they recede into the past, have interest
for no 2 bnt OurselE Nevertheless, it
is written, it is q cry from the heart.
Let i stand. Thank God, neither power
nor malice o confscate and sell for
coin to knaves the happy or the sad
mementoes of the past"

that he would send details by mail.

The Concert ...
By Philip Phillips, tomorrow even
ing, for the benefit Of the efficient mis-
sion of the Eng. Lutheran Church,
promises to be the most successful en-
tertainment ever given in our city.
There have never been so many seats
sold for any concert or exhibition since
the building Of Washington Hall, and
we are sure "The Sweet Singer" will
appreciate the compliment, and sure
also that the Pastor and teachers of the
Lutheran Mission will take courage by
this manifestation Of interest on the
part. of our people. Oaly . few seats
remain unsold, ard these viii no doubt
be closed out to-day. Those who Sc
cure them may consider themselves for
tunate indeed. 90

of humanity than its divisions, and that under
equal laws all races may exist in one peaceful
confederation. The far-reaching results of
this experiment, the tremendous effect of its
success, we need not intimate though few
men may have reflected that American Re-
publicanism is the leading reform of the
world, and that God has given it continent
to work out the enigma of human happiness.
With what disgust, then, must all true re-
formers look upon this ignorant or malignant
attempt TO ruin an experiment so noble. The
men who would establish black party in the
South would create for us anew Africa. They
would place a gulf between race and race.
Nothing can be more anti-American than a
party which denies the unity of American
citizenship; such party could not long exist.
Who has forgotten when, in 1864, a German party
was foolshly projected, the indignation which
that suggestion caused America desired to
reconcile all nationalities in her own, and
would inevitably have crushed any attempt
to set up France or Germany or Italy as an
alien and independent power upon American
ground. Equally certain will be the over
throw of any effort to gather the millions of
colored men in the United States into dis
tinct political organization. a-
We desire the time to come speedily when
It shall no longer be matter of surprise to see
colored men at the polls, ON iuries or in office;
but We know that this will only come by the
absorption of the race in the American
nationality. 1t is said that this is impossible;
that the differences of the races are not to be
reconciled. This we do not believe; but the
shortest way to prove it would be to organize
black mems party. That would be conclu-
sive. If after four years fighting, the greatest
results of which are the freedom and the citi-
zenship of the colored men, their first act
should be to affirm that color IS the true basis
Of DolitiQal destination tbara yVould bp no nOre
to say. Republicanism would be answered
and silenced, and those who had put it to
shame might boast if they could that, while We
had sought to make the colored citizen an
American, they had left him, as we found
him, an African.

Black Mans Party in the South:

A Black Mans Party In the South
From the Tribune.
1t is the destiny of the Republican party to
abolish in our laws all distinctions ON account
of color. 1t is the first great political party in
this country that has maintained the truth
that manhood is absolute, and that the rights
of man are not to be measured by race or
complexion. AS party cannot be created by
the mere resolutions of Convention, but
must grow out of the conviction of the people,
it has formed its creed slowly, article by
article. 1t abolished slavery; that was not
enough. 1t made Union soldiers of the slaves
it had hberated that was not enough. 1t
gave the ballot to the negroes of the South;
that was not enough. 1t clothed them with
full citizenship, the right to sit on juries, to
hold office and yet this is not enough. 1t
remains for the Republican party to place the
colored men of the North upon the same level,
so that in every election, every Court in the
United States, there shall be no question OF
black or white no rule for the one race that
is not also the rule for the other. Either by
the action Of States or OF Congess 1t Will GER
tainly effect this; in year or two at most all
discrimination on account of color will be
banished from our laws.
Those men in the South who are working to
establish black mans party are the enemies
of this principle of equality, and If they carry
out their plans they will strike Repubhcan,sm
blow far heavier than the Democracy, can
deal, They will go far to undo the grand re-
form of which the war was the instrument
In Virginia it is feared that the State Repuoh-
can Convention, August ], will be the occasion
OF division in the Republican ranks, and the
creation of rival parties, black and white In
Missouri, also, there are adventurers who urge
the oolored men to demand representation on
the Presidential ticket and in case it is refused
10 form separate organization. We do not
believe these efforts will be sustained by the
colored men, for they surely know the fatal
results Of such an unprinoipled policy.
1t is unPrincipled because it denies every
moral principle Of the great movement which
gave the oolored race their rights. The Repub-
lioan party abolished the distinction of color
IN politics and law; these agitators would re-
store It. Republcanism broke down the bar
riers that separated the races; these men would
rebuild them. Republioanism seeks to recon
oile ON the broad plains of this continent the
disoOrdant peoples of Africa and Europe; here
IT would solve the problem of races, and prove
how much greater and deeper are the unities

SUMMER RESORTS.

Since the close Of 1866 much enterprise has been

maue one mile drive, has inaugurated: and In All
the essentials OF popular summer resort spirit OF
Improvement is largely manifested,
Ihe geographical position OF Cape Island Is in Itself
q popular feature when properly understood. Sltu-
ateo az lhe extreme southern portion OF the state and
occupying q neck of land aJ the confluence Of the
Delaware Bay with the Atlantic Ocean, 1t becomes
ehuIely surrounded by salt water hence favored by
CONTINUAL 6reezes from the sea.

Deiaware Bay and picturesque back country, taking
IN cape Aenopen distinctly at distance OF sixteen
niles y, Inc beach is acknowledged TO surpass and
compact sand which declines 30 gently to the sur
that even child can bathe with security
Auueu 70 these attractions Is the fact that the effect
OF the Gull stream upon this point renders the
comparatively warm-a point not TO be overlooked by
persons seeking health from ocean bathing.
Inc distance from Philadelphia Cape Island is 81
miles by rail- and about the distance by steamer
down the Bay, and by either route the facilities for
travel promise to be OF the most satisfactory charac

Communications for about ten thousand persons. The

Negro Suffrage In the SOuth-A Batch
OF Blacks In Congress, and What Thens
From The Herald.
A day or two before the adjournment of the
late session of Congress, Mr.. Sumner admo-
nished the members of the Senate that it
would be well to prepare their minds for the
reception, within the next twelve months or
so, of a sprinkling of Senators of African
descent from the Southern States. From the
developments of the initial steps to recon-
struotion, and from all the signs of the times,
there was something more in this notification
than idle badinage. We think the proba-
bilities are all in favor of the African sprink-
ling SO boastingly foreshadowed by the Massa-
chusetts Senator; and we should not be sur
prised it, with the accomplishment of their
work of rehabilitation, the ten outside States
were to send up five, ten, fifteen, or twenty
colOred gentismsh to the lower House, and
half-a-dozen, more or less, among the con-
script fathers.O Of the Senate.
