What the Show Costs the Negroes


A gentleman very well posted on the
subject estimates that by the parade of the
negroes yesterday they lost or expended
four thousand dollars. In one factory, and
that not the largest one in the city, the loss
in wages alone by the turnout was two hun
dred and fifty dollars. Now, this four
thousand dollars would be of vast service
TO the negroes in winter, when there are so
many Of them out of employment, for now,
when they are going through this public
display at such loss, it is only six or eight
weeks before the factories all close up till
next spring or summer
And what do tho negroes make by the
show Absolutely nothing. They will not
even be allowed to vote in the Presidential
election for the men whose nomination they
met, at the order of the " carpet-baggers, D
to ratify! They are paraded through the
streets under the command of few white
marshals-nearly all carpet-baggers-mak'
ing an appearance hideously alike the
droyes once mustered through the streets or
their way to o southern market to be sold
guarded by whites the latter bearing even
a larger proportion to the column Of blacks
than did the white carpet-baggers yester-
day to those they commanded. When will
the negro DO satisfied that he has been de-
luded long enough

Mr.. PENDLEroN's conduct in the cam
paign in which he is bearing 50 noble a
part has excited the admiration of his ad-
versaries. His respectful illusions to Gen
raj GRANT, and his perfect courtesy towards
his adversaries generally, is happy ex-
ample, which we hope will exert a good eff
feet on the manner of the struggle now
going on. No man subserves the cause of
his party by abuse of his adyersaries. De-
mandatory epithot is seldom tolersble. 1t
is only allowable towards men whose de-
prayity excludes them from the rights of
ordinary decorum in debate.

1seS ,rih Notes and Illustrations. Edited
hg EnwIRpC MEAD. New York: RICH
ARDsoN s. Co.
This book is very highly creditable to the
commemorative of this city-who as
e,,mes towards it the modest relation OF
editor: and it is printed in the highest
STYLE of the typographical art. AS the
name ROBERT E. LEE has become house
hold word in all the South, and, indeed, a
great Part of the North, it would be quite
appropriate that this interesting family
history should take its place amongst the
portraits of the great General and other
mementoes of him which are found on
almost every parlor comfortable.
It contains, besides the chapters de-
scriptive of the family, its arms, and gene
alogy, biograp hical sketch of General
LEE, and others of Mrs. LEE, the LEES oil
England, and the LEES of Maryland, with
a hitherto unpublished letter of Genera
WASHINGTON to Governor THOMAS SIN LEE
Then there are portraits Of several OF the
DISTINGUISHED members of the family and
of General R. E. LEE and Mrs. LEE. These
are excellent steel engravings. There are
also pictures of "Stratford House" the
home of the LEES in Westmoreland, where
General LEE was born, and of Arlington
poor Arlington, now so metamorphosed-
vhere Mrs. MARY GUSTS LEE (wife Of the
General was born.
The book is printed on the finest tinted
paper, beautifully bound, with gilt edges
every way appropriate as one to be trea-
sured UP and handed down to posterlty'
relating as it does to one who figured so
largely in scenes that will enchain the
attention and arouse the deepest interest OF
future generations. We make an extract
from the authors preface:
Although the cause of which he was
the military leader was failure, the name
If General Robert E. Lee is universally re-
snecred at the North and in Europe, while
ut the South it is almost reVerenced, espe
cially by the soldiers he commanded, ana
the officers who served under him. That
he has proved himself soldier without
fear and without reproach is universally
conceded that he is Christian gentleman
and patriot, all who know him will bear will
ling testimony. To such man the pomp
of heraldry' has but few attractions; but his
name, whether linked with success or mis-
fortune. is an unblemished one, and already
belongs to history"

HARD T1MEs.-Nearly everybody is com
plaing of hard times. Times are hard, and
they will never get better until the politi-
cal status of the State is settled, and men
turn their attention and hands to work in
stead of to office seeking. The cry from morn
ing till night, from week to week, from
month to month, is office office. office II
all men were as anxious to work ana make
honest livings by the sweat Of their brows,
and would strive as hard to get work as
they do to get office, times would soon
brighten up. There are many men who
are lying around without any employment,
and seeking none except to get into office.
Union men of Virginia who suffered be-
yond expression for the sake of their coun-
try are almost entirely ignored, while men
who have no claims either on Virginia or
on the Federal Government are filling most
of the offices. We would earnestly advise
Union men who can possibly obtain any
work to do, by which they can support
themselves and families, to wait patiently
until after the presidential and State cleo
tions.-Ne,o Nation Of yesterday.
The above is broaGside into the Gear
pet-baggers." They have monopolized
everything, and left the southern men en-
tirely out in the cold.
The show of the negroes and the carpet
baggers yesterday was altogether in the
interest of the carpet-baggers, who find
it necessary to secure for themselves the
relation of "drivers " to the negroes. With
that view they are endeavoring to destroy
the influence of HUSSICUTT and the natives
over the poor blacks. The burlesque Of
yesterday-with its white marslals and its
black column, led by the Post Band and the
Sons of Love-was only to please the fancy
of the negro and place him fairly under
the "carpet-bagger's" charm.
HUNNICUTT, standing aloof, gives to his
colored followers and his colleagues in
Punishment from the green fields Of official
grazing some excellent advice. His own
disappointment put him in the best frame
of mind for this. "Work" is his admirs-
bic remedy. He says truly that if all men
who are hunting Office (meaning, of course,
the Radicals) would work as hard for bread
as for office, "times would soon brighten

GREELEY addresses the Radical world
through the Radical moral organ, the hide
pendent, in an appeal to make great fight
for GRANT. But he has an ingenious faculty
of making an appeal far more like wall
of despair than stimulator of courage and
hope. He thus closes:
"Men and brethren We must carry
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania for Grant and Colfax. With
these-or even half of them-there can be
no mistake as to the result. Without at
least two OF them, all is in doubt"
