The I.rasl,tes and Grant.

The radicals have got Gen. Rawlings,
Grants secretary,to write piece, trying to
whitewash Grants barbarous order, but 4 is
of no use-the Israelites having been igno.
miniously driven from Grants lines, CAS- a
class, will now, ssas q class use every effort
in their power TO defeat the man who so
grossly abused and insulted their people
Suppose Gen. Grant had issued an order ex-
pelling the methodists or the catholics, las q
class from his lines? Is it reasonable to
suppose the methodists or the catholics would
tamely submit to the insult. and, under the
party lash. turn in and help elect such a man
as Chief Magistrate of this great nation !?
Of course not. Neither viii any Jew who
has q spark of pride leave any effort unturn
ed TO defeat Grant. They will oppose him
because in their persons General Grant at.
tackled ne'of the dearest principles of the
American people, that of religious tolerance.
Had General Grant acted towards the Rus.
slams or Bohemians or towards any christian
sect in the same manner as he did towards
the Israelites as class. they Of course would
have been the FIRST to denounce the measure
and show their opposition to the man, leav.
ing it to others who appreciate tolerance as
one of the fundamental sources of national
happiness to join them in their movement,
as the 1000 Jews in St. Louis have already
done.
There is corner in the world where the
great majority of the people can neither read
nor write where civilization has Just COM
menced to emerge from barbarity where the
first rudiments of an orderly government are
scarcely laid, and where the conception of
freedom exists only as the right oftbe strong
er over the weaker, and of the privileged few
over the down.trodden multitudes. This cor
ner ID occupied By the Danuhian Principal.
ties. In that miserable corner of the world
the Jews are mainly treated as outlaws
What General Grant designed against them
here ia the rule Of their treatment there. If
any business is carried on with profit by the
Israelites, the other inhabitants drive them
from the spot, and even burn their houses il
they choose. In some places the Jews have
defended themselves against these outrages
with much bravery, and the sympathies Of
all the European Governments were on their
side. Grant attempted to treat the Jews OF
this country in the same way-but the Amer
lean people saw in that move a threatening
danger to all religious liberation, and they
demanded of the president and of congress
the repeal of Grants infamous order. 1t is
of no use for Rawlings, or anybody else, to
try to whitewash this shameful act of Grants
or to attempt to convince the people that
such man is a Fit guardian of the religious
and political liberties of the citizens of this
| free republic. He won't DO.

Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher in q speech il

New York City, May TO-. 1867, said:
"The way to maintain man in position is to
take ono step before him. Being crafty, desire
TO take him by guile; take black man, and bait
him with white woman, and think you'll catch
the black man"
What an able-aye, noble champion Of
woman's rights" must that man be, who
thinks and openly proclaims in public
speech, that the best use to which you can
put white woman is to employ her es bait
to catch q negrolii If there is any man in
the world to whom every white woman in
America ought to feel grateful, that man is
Henry Ward Beecberi Ifhe is an fable cham
pion of woman's rights" he is also one of the
most brutal and disgustingiy infamous
When it comes down 10 the bold and naked
proposition to use The white woman as bait
for the negro,the elimax has been reached

THE ORANGE, ALEXANDRIA AND MANAs.
sAs RAILRoAD.-Thc annual meeting Of the
stockholders Of this company takes place on the
goth inst. The road is now one of the leading
lines 10 the State and country, and It's manage
ment attracts the attention, not only OF the
communities at the ermini and those directly
and pecuniarily interested, along its route, bur
of capitalists and corporations, north and south,
and especially of those roads, with which 1t
completes or forms connecting link. Leaving
out of the question local interests, about which
there always will be more or less diversity ofopln-
ion, and assuming, as believe, that everything
is done for Alexandria and her trade that can
be, consistently with due regard to the ad-
vantages TO accrue. to the company, | hesitate
not in saying that more economically or bet
ter managed road is not to be found in, or out
side, of this Commonwealth, and its success,
under its present management, has few paral-
les. 70 Mr.. Barbour, as President, is due in
a great degree, the prosperous condition Of the
work and the healthy condition of its finances
Quiet, unostentatious, and shrinking from that
notoriety now a-days so much courted, he has
achieved more than many men, whose abili-
ties are trumpeted throughout the land, and
are looked upon as leading financiers. True
merit seldom meets its reward in this world,
and modesty Is a plant of such rare growth
that when found it should be nourshed. Mr.
b. possesses both, and the true interests Of the
road can never be entrusted to better keeping.
1t is to be hoped that the stockholders will
signify their appreciation of his worth by
unanimous reelection.

.'Out of their own mouths they are COL

letter furnished by Mr.. Forney, from cor
respondent of HIS who, he says, is an sad
yanced Radical" and believes in his politics
as he does in his religion This correspon-
dent has resided in the South for nearly three
years, and ''has never concealed his senti-
ments" and yet he afirms that ''he has never
been disturbed nor even menaced for uttering
them in traius steamboats,, hotels and the
streets. He insists, that the Southern people
should not be condemned for the outrages of
ruffians, and declares that by this rule no COM
munity could escape-certainly not the West,
Judged by ne recent excitements In Kansas.
Very well. This is so. But how does it COM
pare with what has been constantly published
in the Chronicle, relative to the South, for the
last three years. In addition, this correspou-
dent strongly urges emigration to the South
just what the Southern press has been urging
ever since the war.
