COWS The World. shall we. who exclude negroes
from our polls, force their votes upon the
Souths at is as if man Who shuns and
shoulders at the mere sight OF snake, should
undertake to tie necklaces of loathsome ser
nents under the chins OF his neighbours
family. The repugnaDce to negroes Is less
"in degree but it is equally implanted by
nature We are not even spared the old
question. DO you want your sister to marry
negro? Her negro sutOr might be we'll
dressed, well-mannered, upright intelligent;
81 nav, he might have been her beneiactor,
might have rescued her from flames or from
drowning at the peril of his life, and yet
her father or brother would cast her off
"as beastly slut if she consented to
marry him." The World does not know
why God &" saw fit to create the African black
land the Caucasian white, to put wool upon
"hs head and hair upon ours, to bestow upon
him an odor which we do not regard as
"perfume. As little do we know why God has
established the repugnanco which makes it
an incest against nature for blacks ana WHITES
"to intermarryr In all this is there not brutal
hate, mean and contemplate attempt 10 ex-
cite the hatred of others Lying. Many
Democratic papers think nothing OF that,
especially when the lie is for the injury OF "a
colored man. Witness The Erening Express,
which lately told disgusting story OF negro
who committed IN atrocOus rape OF white
woman and then declared-"lt Is OF such stun
cas- this that the Southern Conventions are
made"
If the colorcd race in this country had ever
given cause for hatred, some excuse, however
slight, might be made for their prosecutors.
But they have committed no Otfense. In
Slavery they carried the virtue OF patience to
an excess which made it almost "A crime. Aliens,
and outcasts, and paIiahs; Christians VINO were
forbidden to read the Bible; forbidden to
marry. vet condemned to see their women held
in concubinage by their masters; counted as
men and sold rs beasts-ths people mutely
endured unparalleled oppression for genera
tons without striking a blow. Here In the
North the colored race has always been law
abiding and orderly; it is only in the large cities
that they become corrupted 10 any great eX-
tent. and even in New-Iork there Is no case
known in which they hung Democrats upon
lamp-pOsts or burned down asylums for Demo
cratic orphans Patience, and foTtItude, ana
forgiveness greater than theirs the world mas
never seen; and in Christian nation there mas
never been meaner spectacle than their per
secution. Pitilul. indeed, is the political party
whose solitary great principle Is hatred OF the
negro. and whose chief aim Is to keep INN an
ignorance and bondage

THE STAGE.

The torrent Of frivOlity. nastiness, and NOR
hid sensationalism which has nearly swept the
LEGITIMATE drama from the stage, was the
theme of an instructive debate recently i'll the
French Senate petition had been presented
nraving that in view of the deplorable condl-
ton of theatrical affairs, two of the play houses
which receive subventions from the Govern
ment should be required to present at least
once week some piece of standard merit
But it was shown in the course of the debate
that pieces of standard merit do not pay.
Racine and Moiere would be played every
night if the public did not prefer Offenbach
The fault of the present degradation of the
drama Is in the public rather than the
managers. In 1S4S. NJ. Ledru R0lln then
Minister of the Interior. ordered that the
Theatre Francois should give once week n
eratuitous representation of some dramatic
masterpiece. the tickets to be distributed 10y
lot among the applicants. Rachel played, and
the high government functonaries made a
point of attending. Here was a good test OF
the public taste Well, what was the result
The public would not go to hear the perform
ances, and most of those who obtained free
tickets tried to barter them away for bread or
wine
We may be pretty sure of one thing: mana
gers are the best judges of the popular taste
and the ballet would soon be banished from
Niblos if people preferred "Macbeth or
Richard ILL., If "0ursn draws better than
.The School for Scandal" that is not the fault
of Mr. Wallacb. But there is one point OF view
from which the managers cannot be held blame
less The vitiatcd taste is partly one OF their
creating As soon H. they detect an appetite
for delcterious stimulants they ply us with
stronger and stronger doses, until now play
goers are like the confirmed drunkard who
will touch nothing weaker than raw brandy
The consequence is already beginning to
he apparent in general depression ot
theatrical business. 1t is no longer pos
sible to keep the supply of hcrcely SEN
satOnal plays up to the feycriSh demand.
Everybody knows the effect OF trying to live
on stimulants. The time arrives when good
wholesome fare becomes distatcful, and the
artificial excitement is no longer to be obtained.
If the dramatic profession are therefore suffer
ing from popular indifference to their most
strenuous eXcrionS to please. the fault Is, in q
measure, their own They have been hasty to
encourage aud intensity dcprayed taste, and
they are rcaping the natural fruit OF their CON
duet

Who is j. b. S.?

Mr.. Doolittle proposes that all colored men
who can read, write or who have $3.50 free
hold, or who have served in the army shall be
permitted to vote. Mr.. Doolittle, then, would
allow the pure black son of Africa, who can do
a little reading and spelling, to be set over the
octorOon, who counts half dozen aristOcratic
Democrats among his ancestors. He would
promote black blood that spells over the eau
casian that does not. Mr. DoOlittle ought
surely to add all those who have any portion
of white blood. Again, shall we set a higher
value on reading, real estate. soldering, or
white blood, than on pietyY BY no means.
Mr.. Doolittle must add to his qualifications, all
who are Jealous in prayer or gifted in exhorta-
ton. But after all, in race of working men,
what qualification Of mind is more important
than good health and stout muscular, physical
systemsi Let Mr.. Doolittle allow every black
man to vote whose physical proportions are
equal to his Own-who can run as well, lift as
well, butt as WELL and in all respects vindcate
his yirility as satisfactorily as the Hon. Mr..
DoOlittle. Let him then add eyoyy negro who
will vote the Democratic ticket! And having
laid down the above qualifications, if he will
add, finally all those who do not possess them,
the series will be complete.

A new conflict has arisen between the Pope
and the King of Italy. The Pope has directed
the Italian clergy to have q re Deum sung in
all the Italian churches for the victory at Men
tana. Victor Emmanuel, naturally, has forbid
den, within the bounds of the kingdom, the
celebration of religious services which, ndi-
rectly, at beast, are aimed against the Italian
Government no less than against Garibaldi.
1t is absurd 10 expect a lasting compromise
between views so radically different. Sooner
or later the ono must conquer and the other
must submit.
