That Good Time Coming.

Mr. COVER The question of
''Duplex," and your answer in the
Herald, Of July 28th, have set me
thinking. The reign of benevolence
and happiness in this world 50 long
and so droadiully afflicted with self
ishness and misery, how desirable !!
Who does not wish it might be soon?
Well. then, let us each do our part
towards Fastening it. And what is
my part /? / answer Use every
power you have. rightly. The good
time will come when all people shall
understand and comply with the laws
that govern us. Our miseries come
from the .ransgression of the laws
Of our being, laws relating to our
bodies or our minds, to the family, TO
society, to the state or to God Mis-
cradle health is caused by our not
complying with the laws of health !;
trouble in neighborhoods arises from
bersons not complying with the laws
that should regulate our social inter-
course the ills of poverty generally
result from neglect of the laws that
regulate gain and loss and so Oh.
Therefore, obtain knowledge of all
the laws under which you were made
to live, and obey them. Then will
you be doing your part towards hast
ening the said good time. And to
do our best to cause all men to know
those laws aud obey them, is part
Of what some OF these laws require of
us :Eas the "gcden rule" and that
law Of our natnre by which we are
most happy when earnestly endeav-
oring to promote tho happiness OF
others.
All rood doing hastens that time
al evil doing binders it. PnTLo.

A Severe Criticism on Winnie Reams's

that young lady society, we turn to
depart, when, 10 the amiable scribe
at the table announces that if we
will stand on chairs he will uncover
the face. He lifts the cotton curtain,
and within we behold what looks

Letter from Senator Howe to a Society
of Colored Men.

A literary association of colored
men in Wilmington, N. c.. recently
notified Senator Howe. of Wisconsin,.
that they had given their city his
name, and in reply be has sent them
the following letter:
q. s. sESarE CaAmBEs. WASHINGTON. D. G.,
July 4th, 1868.
My DEAR SIR II have been try
ing a long time to find leisure to ac-
knowledge the reeeiptof your favor of
the 10th ult., as well as that OF sub.
sequent date.
Your first letter gratified me much,
but astonished me more. was clad
to learn that the intelligent colored
people Of Wilmington had recognized
IN me friend but was surprised to
learn 1t, the fact, nor have | made
any NOISY professions Of zeal for their
welfare, nor do pretend now to be
animated by any peculiar attachment
to the oolored people. What have
done for the benefit of your people, |
have believed TO be for the best good
OF all people. Justice to all | fervent
ly believe TO be the highest instinct
OF both races. The servitude and the
ignorance which we have imposed on
colorcd people of the South, while /
have regarded them as degradation
Of your race, | felt them to De dis
grace and scandal TO my own. l have
resented them III the name of both
races. The redemption and elevation
of your people | am sure will work
the publication of ours.
To emancipate and enfranchise
your people | have been ready at all
times to venture whatever of polite
al character | possessed, but if any
one owes mo thanks, l insist that
thanks are due me from the white
race as much as your own. But | ac-
cept them most gratefully from you,
and for the honor you have done me
in giving my name to your club,
give you my cordial thanks. But |
thank you more for giving it the
name of Progressive, than for Civ.
ing it mine.
Nothing delights me more than the
numberless evidences | discover that
your people do not make the fatal
mistake of regarding freedom as an
end of effort, but as the beginning of
effort. Freedom is not culture. but
only the means by which culture may
be obtained. You who protect both
freedom and culture, understand this,
and | am glad to see you have in
scribed the word Progress" upon the
banner under which you are rallying
the freedmen of Wilmington.
You will do me afavor by commun
icating with me from time to time such
facts touching the condition of your
people as you may deem of import.

Again thanking you for the compli-
ment communicated through your let

am your obliged humble servant,

which took place on the 10th of Jam

HUMBUG ABOUT DIsFRANcHIsEMENT.
1t should be we'll remembered that
the largest part of the wild talk
about disiranchised whites at the
South is all moonshinc, the maximum
proportion of DISTINGUISHED being
about ten per cent, In Virginia It
is about nine, in Georgia and n orth
Carolina the same, in Florida and
Louisiana still less, while in South
Carolina it is only about fourteen
per cent. Yet one would think, from
the Democratic talk, that a large ma
jority of the whites were bound hand
and foot and prevented from voting.
1t IS obstinacy, not despotism, that
has kept them from the polls.

"THE EDIToR.-l'he editor is one

His paper busted that day, ard he
couldn't take not nothing back.
while other folks have to go to
bed early, the editor can sit up late
every night, and see all that's going

to hang out till 10 O'clock. When /

will be bully. The editor don't have
to saw wood or do any choppings ex,

get up excursions for him, knowing
if they didn't he'd make 'em git up

much who he goes for if they are on

The Tribune says: "The RepubIi>
can who has determined to be a
scoundrel is already half way over to
the Democratic camp. Even were
the Republicans knavish enough to
run a race with the Democrats in
repudiation, they would surely be
beaten, for if We should propose to
cheat the bondholders out of half of
their honest due, the Democrats
would cut and beat US by proposing
not to pay at all. Honesty and
policy unite therefore in requiring
that we should stand firm for the
public faith"
