coming so general on these festive occasions It is a

be repugnant to the more refined feelings of those
forced to engage in them. wcman's education should
be SO guarded and directed as to prepare her to rem
der happy the home circle in which she is to reign.
Let teachers keep this object directly in view, and
bend their energies to attaining that end

In after times. when the dongs of the 99th and 4O

reconcile the means to the end. In hot haste they
have, at cost to the country according to Senator
Sherman, of half million of dollars admitted to seats
IN both Houses set of scalawags whose personal ap
pearance Ito say nothing of their conduct and confab
would disgrace Congress of negroes in Congo. Be
sides it is known that majority of these rascas are
at any moment ready to sell themselves.

that it stood Indifferent" whether any considerable

The undersigned, in response to the request of a

CHICAGO GONE FOR SEYMOUR AND BLA1R-Gynat's :
Brother.-We copy as follows from the National In-
tellgencer:
One member Of the Grant family was not trotted out
at the Chicago Radical convention. This was Orvile
Grant, Esq, brother Of the General, and prominent
and respected merchant in Chicago. Although SO
near at hand as to render bis presence easily obtana-
able, he eglected, and not allowed to render his
tribute to his great brothers many merits. The state
of the case, understand it, is that Orvlle Grant
refuses to vote for his brother considering him unfit
by his character and habits to occupy the Presiden-
tial chair, that he lately presented to church. Of
which he is a member, the Of $500, and to the
| Chicago Democratic Club the sum of $1,000 A cler-
gyman who suggested to him that it would have been
better to reverse these gifts informed by Mr. Grant
in reply that upon careful consideration of the state
ofthe country and the character of the two candidates
be rather thought he ought to have doubled the pres
ent to the Democratic club. 1t is also said that Mr.
Gage, the proprietor of the Sherman House at Chi
cage who would have voted the Republican ticket had
another candidate been nominated, is now for Sey-
mour, and willing that the Democratic clubs of Chi
cago should make his celebrated hotel their headuuar-
ters. Another indication Of the way the tide is setting
in that city the presence Of five or six hundred
Republicans at the Seymour ratification meeting in
Chicago, who cheered as Justify as any of the Demo
Gratis.

BAIT HIM WITH A WHITE WoMAN"-The terrible,
shocking nameess crimes Of the Southern niggers are
matter for grave reflection not only of the leading
minds Of this country, but of all Christendom To
speak out plainly rapes upon white females by brutal
negroes are Of daily occurrence Horace Greeley and
Henry Ward Beecher, more than any other two indi-
yiduals in this country the authors of these rapes
Not long ago, Ward Beecher said in speech, I" the
way to maintain in position is to take one
step before him; being crafty, desire to capture him
by guile; take a black man, bait him with white
woman, and think you will catch the black man, ;.
Was there ever more atrocious horrible sentiment
uttered BY human being, much less clergyman,
and yet this debauced scoundre calls himself Chris
tan teachert .PandeFing to the animal passions of
halt brute, coverty inviting rapes and MURDERS has
mad Its fruits. Niger ourages upon white females
are OF weekly occurrence, and Beeeher and Greeley
cosnue to preach up the doctrine of batting the black
man With white woman, while Christendon looks on
with horror, But nobody moves to stay the dreadful
crimes. Democratic voters, shrink from your duty
