able. To remedy this thing-shall we
say an evil ?-then we would humbly
suggest that people should be hired, at
the expense of the Colonial Treasury, to
repair the streets /; and that public duty
should be performed without much further
delay. Knowing then, that in the days
of yore-when the crime of slavery ex-
listed hereafter such a heavy fall of rain,
as what was experienced here this week,
people were at once employed to repair
ihem,-we cannot see why the same
method, could not be adopted now Every
body admits that 'the times are more than
distressing - still the present times should
not be so ''diStresSing'' to the Colonial
Treasury; because the taxes and all
dues are, at present, collected as they
were then. Look after this and when
you-Citizens-are admonIshed to do your
duty expect that this principle will be
duly carried out. Say to those in author
ity: EXAMPLE Is BETTER THAN
PRECEPT." Hold to this. The present
times are then truly "MORE THAN DIS
TRESSING.'

Grant for the Niger.

General Hancock some time
since, removed some of the alder
men and other city officers of New
Orleans. He did so because he de-
clared that their conduct was 30 bad
that they could not be tolerated.
Nine of these officers were removed.
Seven of these were Negroes. The
|other day Grant issued an order
commanding Hancock to restore
these officers the places from which
he had removed them How do
you like that, white soldiers ? U.
S. Grant has become the servile tool
of the Negro Suffrage fanatics in
Congress. He appoints negroes 70
Office by his own order Rich, isn't
it?-E Exchange.
We do not see that there is any
thing particularly rich about this.
When Gen. Grant issued the order
restoring to Office Negroes, he knew
absolutely that he would be the Re-
publican nominee for President of
the United States, and as such NOM
inee he knew that to stand any
chance Of an election he must have
the votes of the Negroes in the
South. Now, had no not ordered
the restoration to Office of these
Negro officers, the probabilities are
that the Negroes would have soured
on him. 1t was a matter of politi-
cal calculation with him, Just rs
much 80 as It was political calcuIa-
tion with Judge White, who is
candidate for reelection to the Su-
preme court Of this State, to unite
| In an outside decision declaring that
lit Is unconstitutional to'be over nice
in asking Negroes how much White
blood they have running through
their veins before allowing them to
vote--that al men must be held to
White until they are proven Black,
and that every man Is White who
is not quite half Black, ,---0Aio
