A White Mans government

The Ohio (Mongrel) Legislature
has been finally goaded into submit
ting the question Of negro voting to
the people. 1t was such plain talk
as the following, which forcibly drove
them to it. II is an extract from a
speech Of Hon. .SIr. Putnam, a Dem
ocratic member Of the Legislature:
9'"The Democratic party is willing
that this Republican Legislature
shall submit it to. the people, and
make it all issue in the approa ching
election. We arc willing to 60 be-
fore the people with you upon the
we'll defined proposition, whether we
will share the administration of our
State Government with negroes or
not. We have no fears of the result.
The intelligence of the people. is a
sufficient assurance Of your defeat.
But, sir, it is prcposterous to ask
Democrats to assist you in the sub
mission Of this question. One of
the cardinal tenets Of our faith is
that this is a white mans Govern
ment, made by white men for white
men. During the past five or six
years Of agitation, looking to! this
result, we have fought you earnest :
ly, although l regret to say, unsuc-.
cessfully, and now in apparent cul-
mination Of your schemes, it would
lily accord with the pluck Of the
grand old party to lower its stand
ard and desert it's faith. Ifit goes
down upon this proposition, it will
be with its banners flying and its
drums beating. But in the face 5of
the events Of the last six years, l
can not see how gentlemen on the
other side can cosistently refuse to
submit theproposition. Ii were q
member of the Radical party, and
endorsed the action of this Congress

not come here with my knees qua

grocs of my own State the blessings

to their race in other localities. * y
x You Radicals have not the moral
coura GO to endorse your own dogmas,
but come whining like whipped ours
to the Democracy, and ask them to
share the responsibilities with you.
Shame OH such representatives Of
principle! There is not man among
you who is favorable to the propo.
sition, but you are towards and are
afraid of the responsibility. Here
upon this floor, in the name Of the
Democracy of Ohio, | challenge you
to contest upon this question. You
have forced negro suffrage upon the
unwilling people Of the Territories
and Of the District of Columbia, and

IHE "THREE PRINCIPLE TENETS.T
We have been often asked it there
were not more than three tenets in
Masonry of equal force and charac-
ter. ,--a-- n - -s-? A81
ro We must say that in all the works
we laye read, and from all the yer-
bal lectures we. have heard. we know
of but the three great ,tencts Of
Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth;
anrwe look upon all others, such
as Friendship, Morality, &c:, "a
Masonic virtues, aud SHOULD neyes
be mentioned as tcnets, as We there
by disturb that universal harmony
which should ever exist in our Ian
guage and work. Ell o.. -aa ae1Eic
:, We know that some lecturers have
used other names than those men,
toned in the sense Of tcnets, but
they have never been able to explain
or establish them as such, apart
from their own dictum, which is7no
authority at all in Masonry, Leaving
us to fall back on Brotherly Love.
Relief and Truth as the sublime
embodiment of Masonic virtues
They are those which we can ration
ally explain, and of which. we. have
explanatory symbols, thus resolving
speculative Masonry back to its orr
ginal sphere, "a beautiful system
Of morals, yelled in allegory and
illustrated by symbols. '-Frcema-

the spot was sown field Of wheat.
On the evening succeeding the har-

brother said to his wife, My young

edge. - The younger brother, be-
ing actuated by the same benevolent
motives, said, within himself: ..'My

into wholesale store in the CITY of

Proprietor drew large sized tum-
blcr full. Country merchant tasted.
"Ah % said he, as ho smackod his
lips with just suspicion of delight.
"that's good gin. What can you let
me have barrel of that for 2" &
Proprietor named the price.
"Remarkably good GIN" said he,.
taking another sip. "That reminds
me Of some gin | bought in lS29," and
and he went on with long story
about that particular gin, stopping oc.-
casionally to try the sample until it,
was all gono but swallow. The
story finished, he tossed off the BAL
anco of it, and rcmarking that he lik-
cd the gin, and would como in and leave
his order after making few purchas-
cs elsewhere, loft tho store.
An hour aftcrward, while the pro-
| prietor was waiting on some custom ers,.
the gin buyer returned, and this time.
tackled one of the clerks with
"I have got to buy some gin to-day.
and if you have got a first-rate article.

of it. Then tasted again. Then he
turned round, held it up to the light,
and tasted Again. Thon lie smackcd
his lips, inquired the price, and took
another sip. Then he remarked that
it was very cold weather and took A.
swallow. Then he commented on tho
gin, and INDUCED in few reflections
about how much more gin cost now
than in 1888. He kept on talking.
and he Kept an drinking, and the clerk
kent on waiting to consummate the
trade.

was 80 cvidcnaly good judge of, as:

that tho clerk was not disposed to hur-
ry him. But as he was taking down
the last swallow, the proprietor
came around. The suspicion dawncd
upon him that the country merchant
was q better drinkcr than buyer.
Stepping up to him he thundc.c out:

The SETTLEMENT WITH FRASER,
TRENHOLM 4 Co.--Thc Washington
correspondent of the Boston -1ducrtis.
en- says
The reply Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to the resolution of General
ashburne, Of Wisconsin, calling for
information relative to the settlement
with Fraser, Trenholm e. Co., will be
an interesting document. 1t will
probably cover a copy of the paper,
signed by the members of that firm
in this country, rs the result of the
conference, some weeks ago, with the
Treasury Department. The ncgotia-
tion for the Government was conduct.
ed by Assistant Secretary Chandler
and Hon. Caleb Cushing, and resulted
in manner entirely satisfactory.
MIR. Trcnholm's attorney and one
member Of the firm camc up here
from Charleston, and after considcra-
bic consultation signed papers conccd.
ing that the Government is entitled to
all the specific Confederate property
which was in their hands OH the 9th
of April, 1865, that being the day of
Lees surrender to General Grant.
This concession gave the Department.
four or five ships Of war, and cotton to
the valne of 100000. The Tren-
holms all conceded that they could
mako no claim on this property for
debts due to them from tho Confedcr-
ate Government, and further, that the
United States arc entitled to state
mcnt of the account between tho Con-
fedcrato Government and Fraser,
Trenholm Il Co., as it stood on the
said 9th of April, 1865 and to- tile
receipt of any money found to be due
on that day, from the said firm to the
said Confederate Government. This
agreement was taken to South Carroll
ma, and subsequently signed by all the
members Of that firm Ewing in this
country. Three or four weeks ago,
Chief Justice Rcdiicld, of Vermont,
sailed for England to close up the bu-
siness with the partners living in that
country, and it is presumed that the
matter is concluded before this time.

fus uniformly stopped at the office, un-,
Locked tho Old gcntleman's private

Every Sunday morning the Judge
repeated his laudable inquiry, but Ru-
fus preferred the Second Methodist.
The Judge soon began to notice
dimunition in tho contents of the,
demijom, and rightly suspected who
was the culprit. The Judge emptied
the remaining liqaid into another YES
sci and placed it in secluded place.
Next Sunday morning came tho usual
intcrrogatory.
"Going with mo this morning, Ru-
fus 7"
ono, father, I reckon I'll stick to
