The state Central Committee.

AT the Marion County Convention, lately
held in Indianapolis, the Republicans
nominated Mr.. Jacob Wright, as theil
! choice for Chairman ci the next Republican
Central Committee. We have rot a per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Wright, but
from what has been said, we understand
that he hardly MANAGED the last State
canvass, as it should have been aud it was
limited, that had it not been for the almost
superhuman efforts put forth by Governor
Morton, our party would have been de-
feated. IL such is the case, If Mr.. Wright,
as chairman Of the committee in the past,
has been inefficient, then by all means, give
him the go by. In campaign as exciting
and holly conte ted as the one upon which
we are about to enter, not little OF our
prospect OF success depends upon the
Chairman Of the State Central Committee.
We want, for such a position. a man per-
fecty acquainted with the politics Of the
State; who knows all the weak spots, and
there send our most fluent and logical
speakers I; who can comprehend the poiiti-
cal working OF the whole State at glarce,
and know just where and when men and
means are needed quick 10 see any mis-
takes that may &c made and also as prompt
to rectify them; and also as prompt to take
advantage o. any false moves made by our
political opponents. The office Is no
sinecure, but not little of party success
depends on the person filling it.
The best Of generals can but poorly fight
q battle If they have not the men and means
with which to do II. The Chairman Of the
State Central Committee occupies exactly
the same relative position as the general of
an army, and must not be clogged for want
Of speakers and money. We hope the

A COlOFed Clergyman on So
cfal Equality.

Rev. Mr.. Butler, colored minister, ad-
dressed the Kentucky Colored Convention
at Louisville, a few days ago, as follows:
"The future of this country depends, not
so much on what party is In power, as il
does on the removal OF all disabilities; they
weigh down its people. Then, and not
until then, will the country have peace
We don't ask for social equality. / never
saw that white woman yet that looked SO
well, in my eyes, as good brown colored
woman. And il It wasn't SO, we don't
need their social equality, because our
friends, the white folks, have kindly man.

there are no ladies present, allow me 10
say that the practice OF social equality has
not been ON our side, but on the part O!
the whites, who, in their dark and devious
ways, were not always able, let US charita-
bly, suppose, to tell black from white.
This social equality has not been sought
by us, but they have run after Us; and
though we are now emancipated and free,
they haven't stopped"
A voice-"We1l stop that when we get
che testimony"
"Yes, that's 30. They better not come

Agriculture in 1867.

From the annual report OF the Commis-
siOners Of the Agricultural Department foi
1867, we extract the following:
The wheat crop, according 10 the esti-
mate Of the Department, amounts to two
hundred millions Of bushels for the whole
country, including the Southern and Pa
cific States. Sheep have nearly doubled
in numbers since 1860, the aggregate being
forty millions now, against twenty-three
millIonsat that time; and the ''clip" ofwool
has augmented from sixty millions TO one
hundred and fifty millions ofpounds. Corn
is not so hopefully spoken OF, on account
Of serious losses to that crop, principally
in the Ohio Valley. Horses show slight
increase in numbers and value over last
year, though there Is still decrease OF
six per cent. as compared with the census
returns of 1860. Cows appear to be in
creasiDg more rapidly than any other horn
ed cattle, though no figures are given for
either, by which to make eonparison with
former returns. With view to showing a
growing activity in improved methods of
tillage and farm work generally, II is noted
that the Issue Of patent for agFicult aral i'm
plements has increased from forty-three in
ls47, and three hundred and ninety in 1868.
to seventeen hundred and seyenty-sevsn in
the first ten months Of the present year.

No Backing Down.

| The idea has been promulgated through
out the South, that Congress would repeal
the Reconstruction laws, or so modify them
as to admit the rebel States on q different
plan. The following letter from Speaker
Colfax to Hon. Thomas w. Conway, now
in New Orleans, on the subject, conclu-
sively shows that there vii, be no backing
down, while the recent vote of the House to
adhere to the Reconstruction acts ll2 ayes
to 32 nays) confirms what Speaker Colfax
says:
WASHINGTON, December s, 1867.
My Dear Mr.. CONWAY: l have but a
moment, amid multiplied duties, to say in
reply to your letter that you need not feaI
that Congress will take any backward steps
in reconstruction. We have staked our
political existence on the principle, that the
States lately in rebellion shall be organized
on the enduring corner stones OF loyalty
and justice, and shall he led back to their
old places In our council halls by those who
dared, amid the tornado of treason that
swept over the South, to stand faithfully
for liberty and the Union. While | do not
believe in confiscation or anything looking
Ike revenge, and hope to see suffrage as
universal as safety to the cause of loyalty
will permit, and the restored States guar
anteeing education TO ell, l would not
modify the terms OF reconstruction in any
essential feature one hairs breadth. If the
former rulers Of the South, whose bafiled
ambition plunged peaceful country into
the carnage of civil war, refuse to exercise
the right ofvoting, which Congress proffered
TO the great bulk of them, on their own
heads. not ours. will be the responsibility.
Yours very truly, SCHUYLER CoLFAx.

County Convention.

The call for Mass Convention of the
Republicans of Marshall County is pub
lished to-day, and it is to be hoped there
VIII be much larger attendance than there
has been at such convocations of the party
for some years past. This meeting viii be
the opening of the campaign in this county
and it is important that proper interest
should be manifested and an impetus given
to the ball then get in motion to grind to
powder the corrupt, dishonest, tax-eating
party that now dominates in this county,
to its discredit and disadvantage In an
economical light.

The Ground Work of u New
RebelliOm

In the Presidential canvass of 1850 (says
the indianapolis Journal the Democratic
party attempted TO frightcn the people into
eleciing either one or the other of its csndi
dates, by threatening the secession of the
slave States. in the event of the election Of
Mr.. Lincoln. For the first time in the his
tory of the Republic the votes of the people
were demanded under the menace of civil
war in case they should choose President
not dictated by the magnates of the Demo-
cratic party, and whose political affiliations
were not satisfactory to the slaveholding
Democratic States.
Tho people wisely judged that If they
once yielded to menace, and cast their votes
under the cowardly impulse of fear, cleo
tions would henceforth fail to reflect the
popular will, and the choice of the Chief
Magistrate would be transferred flom the
people, where the constitution places it, TO
the national conventions Of the party most
voluble of threats and the most likely to
carry them into execution. Happily, the
freemen of the United States believed the
right of suffrage worth preserving, and in
defiance of the predictions of revolution,
secession and rebellion, which resounded
from Democratic rostrums and filed the
columns of Democratic newspapers, they
elected the candidate opposed to the DEM
ooratic party.
True to its threats made during the can
vass, and determined to retain the political
power of the country in its own hands If
revolution could accomplish it, the Demo-
cratic party in the slave States took imme
diate measures for Withdrawing from the
Union. in which they were encouraged by
the Democratic leaders in the free States,
who supposed that the secession of their
friends would be but temporary, and that
the people would be terrified into COM
promise which would restore the rule of
the Democratic party and annul the elec-
ton OF the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent.
So rapidly was this programme carried
out, that when Mr. Lincoln took the oath
OF Office, on the 4th day of March, 1861,
seven O. the Democratic States had formal
ly withdrawn from the Union, organized q
provincial government, which had levied
an army formidable In numbers and eff
cheney which had possessed itself of the
forts, arseDals, mints and custom houses of
the United States situated within their
boundaries had captured and disarmed all
national soldiers stationed in those States !;
was performing all the functions of an
independent nation, and daily committing
acts OF hostility against the legitimate
government. Four other Democratic States
soon followed the other seven into rebel
lion, and four others, Delaware, Maryland,
Kentucky and Missouri, were restrained
from secession only by military force.
How this first attempt of political party
to maintain its supremacy by threatening

quotes the following letters from General
Sherman
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10, 1867.
General S. G. Burbridge, Lexington, KY:
DEAR GENERAL: / now have the pleas
ure 10 enclose you copy of the letter
addressed you on the 2lst of June, 1864,
when you were commanding in Kentucky
subject to my orders. The instructions
contained in that letter were commands TO
you, binding on you under the articles OF
war, and for which you were no more res
ponsible than for the execution of any other
order. / alone am responsible, and have
TO fear but my orders were right and ap-
propriate. hear the people of Kentucky
blame you for your acts under my orders
Ii so, they are very foolish, for some of
them should be thankful that you were too
lenient- / recall with pleasure your early
efforts in the cause of our country in 1861.
You were one Of the first Kentuckians to
take up arms in defence of our common
nationality. remember you, also, when
commanding a brigade during all the oper.
ations at Vicksburg, and when command
ing in Kentucky while was engaged down
in Georgia. For these services you are
entitled to the thanks and gratitude OF
every well-wisher of his country, and
doubt not you will yet receive them
Very truly, your friend,

Republicans will remember this, and when
they 0hrough their delegstes) choose their
chairman, pledge him everything requisite
for the carrying on of q successful cam
paign.
Want of speakers and funds may have
been the true cause of the bad management
attributed to Mr.. Wright in the previous
campaigns. If so, we hope for the sake of
the party and the next chairman, 1t may
not happen again, for 1t may cost us a de-
feat. We have always been too negligent

Tie Reconstructed Southern States-Presi

The Reconstructed Southern States-PreSi-
dent Johnson Providing Il Cause for His
Removal.
From the N. Y Herald.
The impeachment of Andrew Johnson has
been dismissed from the public mind as among
the things of the past; but from the present
posture of affairs at Washington we shall not
be surprised if the Hon. Ben. Wade shall yet
be made master of the White House, and in
the interval to the approaching Presidential
election.
Mr.. Johnson in his late veto messages and
proclamations in reference to the reconstructed
Southern States, substantially takes the ground
that the State governments under which said
States have been readmitted into Congress are
illegal and void, and that the provisional gov
ernments organized under his policy are the
only local establishments which he can recog-
nize in his view of the Constitution. 1t is
given out from Washington that within the last
three days he has expressed himself to this
effect that he cannot consistently recognize the
officers of the Southern State Governments set
up under the policy of Congress, and that,
consequently, he will be obliged either not to
hold any intercourse with them, or address
himself to the officers who, in his judgment,
are legally entitled to recOgnition-that is, the
officers under his provisional governments,
which were set aside and superseded by Con-
gress. On this tack, we say, it is not impos-
sible nor improbable that Mr.. Johnson may find
himself impeached tried, condemned, and re-
moved before the Sd of November.
Congress has resolved upon a recess from
this day to the third Monday in September.
Let us suppose that during this recess the
State authorities OF Georgia, for instance, set
up under the Reconstruction laws of Congress,
are discountensnced by the opposition ele-
ments of the State; that the Governor and his
subordinates (the United States army being
withdrawn) find themselves powerless to en-
force their State laws; that general refusal
to recognize them is inhamed to an organized
resistance which cannot be overcome short OF

shape of soldiers; that the Governor applies
TO the President for this assistance; that the
President declines to render it or to reoog-
