Mr.. Pendieton engaged largely in politics.
He was standing candidate for Congress,and

more than q lay figure trimmed close, wore an
olive branch 10 his button hole, and cried
no peace, But this policy so far answered his
purpose that he was returned to Congress by
his constituents, who, II they found little to
say in his favor, were contentcd that the OPP
position found less to say against him. Mr..
Pendleton was merely a neutral tint In poll

gallant Dick:m "Senator Yates has answered
the best expectations OF his friend. and the
attentive to public business, constantly in his
seat, and his speech the other day was a
manly and decided argument for suffrage
He IL one OF the best out-of-door orators in
the country, and his natural ability has proba-
bly, no peer Of equal brillianey in the Senate.
| His successful struggle is an encouragement

The Springfield Republican observed the

THIS is from the La Crosse Democrat: "What

The Richmond Wig hopes the new Virginia
constitution will be defeated. II says "Thc

| can no more believe that enough OF these
white men will 70 vote as to enable the Hot
teptots to carry their constitution n, than we
would deliberately go and commit murder,

THE Times Is astonished that noEc OF the Dem
| ocrats, in their search for 4 candidate, have
struck upon Caleb Gushing. "He has more
| brains than any other leader OF the party; he
is an experienced politician; and he Ia sound
on the goose. Long years ago he warned his

| back;' and this fact alone ought to point him
out as the prophetic adversary of Gen. Grant.

The Richmond Enquirer afilrms The nc
groes never will be Intelligent voters. They
are necessarily, from ignorance, under the
control of men having white skins, and we
| ourselves or leaving them to the control of
| unprincipled adyenturers. We propose to con-
troll them ourselves, and thereby acquire the
| advantage of what Is known In war as turn

| The New Orleans Times observes: "The
| New York World greatly mistakes the temper
| of the South ifit iuagines that any consider
Sn tS it to look ienientiy upon negro equality
| The idea OF such a sacrifice Of manhood and
| social liberty will not be tolerated for a mo-
| ment. We may groan and struggle In our
chains, but 1t Is out OF human power to make
| us embrace them"

"The reason why the Massachusetts Legisla.

that 1t was so long since they met that the

The Galveston Republican, alluding to the
several New Orleans Mayors that have been

Conway, has just been marched into his plac,

THE Macon Telegraph says: "The fact Is, W,

feat Of Grant as an easy.going business; wheI
that Is not the fact, actual or prospective"
