To Conplets the rriumph.

An extract Of letter from Senator Suns
ner is published in which he declares that
the election of negro to one of the Houses
of Congress is required to complete the tri-
umph To complete what triumph, we would
ask of the radicals Il it necessary that .
negro be elected to Congress to prove that
the Constitution now throws its protecting
egis over every State in the Unioni To
prove that the Union is restored, that secess-
ion is no longer claimed as q right, that the
rebellion is put down, that slavery is abolish
ed, that the rebel debts are repudiated, that
the nation is pledged to the payment of the
national debt, and that peace is begging
recognition No. All that is known and
the evidence is daily before the eyes of that
incarnation of iendish malignancy who de.
mands one more triumph, who would be sat.
is6ed with no triumph which leaves one of
the native white race of the South living,
but as beggars and wanderers in the land.
1t is necessary that a negro be elected to
Congress to prove the utter degradation to
which the radicals have forced the South, to
prove that the white is enslaved and the
black elevated, to place in Congress the black
face and woody head as a monument upon
which the American and the stranger can
gaze and be reminded of the past, that there
once sat statesman of so great eminence,
worth and virtues, as to be almost dennis
god to his people, and admired and respects
ed by the world, and because that people
did not equally admire Charles Sumner, they
are crushed, and that he has power to put
a representative of the lowest race of human.
ity in the seat as a triumph of evil passions,
and staring mockery of woe. Will the
radical triumph then be complete? Will
the election of negro Representative, Sena-
tor or President satisfy them? No. The
spirit which asks it, asks not that it elevates
the negro, or that some great and good man
of that race, ofacquirements wide and varied,
with oratorical powers equaling Clay or
Webster, or with stability of character and
judgement like Washington, or the frmness
and foresight of Jackson, not that some such
man exists whom they would like to elevate
to position commensurate with his worth,
but that it may show how deeply they have
degraded the white, how thoroughly and
completely the party has triumphed over its
opponents, and for this one of the basest of
the degraded race would be preferred to any
other. This spirit, even then, finding that
the white Af the SoatL IA not ontirnly
destroyed, nor crushed to earth, will contin-
ue its insults and expressions, and demand
other triumphs, until none of the hated race
will dare raise its head. This is the radical
programme. Do the reasoning people of
that party wish to follow the cowardly and
malignant Sumner in his pursuit of revengey
We do not believe they do. Sumner and
his fellows are reckoning without their host,
and will find their pet schemes frustrated

ODD FIsH.-A singular fish is found in the
coast rivers of Alaska. 1t is about eight
inches long, transparent, and the most fat of

GREELEY ON GRANT.-A short time be-
fore the Chicago Convention, Greeley in an
article, published in the New York Tribune,
got of the following, in answer to those who
were favoring Grants nomination
"They insist that Grant shall be made the
Immediate and unopposed candidate of the
republican party. We venture 10 ask the
reason. Here we stand with hat in hand
ready to shout, and only too happy to find
something to shout over. What is the rea-
son Of the hurrah busnessH "Well," SAYS
one, "Grant is soldier" "Good," we reply ;
Three cheers for Grant, the Soldier, the
great soldier of the war" And so we 90 on
cheering for Sheridan and Sickles, and Pope
and Meade, Sherman and Thomas, and for
the whole Army Register, so great is our
enthusiasm. But we cannot make the whole
Army Register Presidents, and on that list
one man is as good as another Thus the
"soldier" reason falls. If our candidate is
to have only so many stars and buttons, let
US drop twenty names in hat and draw.
Perhaps we must take him, but we do not
feel like cheering over it; certainly not SO
long as great statesmen remain in our ranks
"Give US Grant, because we can elect him."
Again that cowardly argument. Friends, is
there nothing in this great party but Office
hunger Is the chief end of man the post,

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING. "A French

the advantages of groaning and crying 10

give way to their natural feeling more speed.
lily recover from accidents aRd operations
than those who suppose it unworthy man
to betray such symptoms of cowardice as
either to groan or cry. He tells of man
who reduced his pulse from one hundred and
twenty-six to sixty in the course of few
hours, by giving full vent to his emotions.
If people are at all unhappy about anything,
let them go into their rooms and comfort
themselves with loud boohoo, and they
will feel hundred per cent. better afterward. !.
In accordance with the above, the crying of
children should not be too greatly diseour.

result may be st. Vitus's dance, epiliptic fits,
or some other disease of the nervous system.
What is natural is nearly always useful and
nothing can be more natural than the crying
of children when anything occurs to give
them either physical or mental pain. Proba-
bly, most persons have experienced the effect
of tears in relieving great sorrow. 1t is even
curious how the feelings are allayed by their
free indulgence in grOans and sighs. Then
let parents and friends show more indulgence

SHALL THE NEGRO RULE 2-One of the
in Chicago, takes square grounds iu favor Of
negro rule. There can be no lodging the
negro issue now. If Grant shall be elected,
the first object of the radical party will be
to secure the permanent ascendancy of the
black element in the South. 1t will cost us
more to do this than it did to set the negroes
free. And when it is done, what right have
we to expect better results than we see in
Hayti and every other place under negro
dominion? The Northern radicals will feel
obliged to conform their actions to the views
of their Southern allies, and so we shall get
practically negro government for the whole
country. The success of the democratic
party leaves the negro upon precisely the
same basis as every white man, except they
shall not participate in any government
without the consent of the State in which
he resides. If Maine, Michigan or Texas
please to enfranchise their negroes and
make them eligible to Office, no outsider will
object But the federal government will do
nothing about the question of suffrage, as it
has no right to do under the Constitution.

NAPoLEoN's VIEW OF TREATING A WIFE.
The first Napoleon wrote to his brother
Louis: "Your wife is an excellent and vir-
tuous woman, yet you make her unhappy.
Allow her to dance as much as she likes J
tbs the fashion of the age. Ny wife is for
ty years old from my camp l tell her to go
to balls. Yet your wish is that your wife
only just twenty, and in the flush of youth,
should shut herself up and spend her days
like nurse in dressing her baby. You are
too much master at home, and not enough
in your government Make the mother OF
your children happy. There is but one way
show her great deal of esteem and con-
fdence. Unluckiy your wife is virtuous.
Were she coquette, she would lead you BY
the nose. You should have a wife such as
some know of. She would put you down
and keep you at her feet. 1t is not my fault
if she has not done so already"

DAILY RELIGIoN.-Mr. SpurgeOn says of
the manner in which true religion manifests
itself in daily life: have no faith in that
woman who talks of grace who uses no soap
at home. Let the buttons be on the shirts,
let the children's socks be mended, let the
roast mutton be done to turn, let the hus-
bands buttons be seWed on, and home be happy
as home can be; and then when the cannon
balls. and the marbles: aud even tho grains
of sand, are all in the box, even then there
will be room for these little deeds of love
and faith which in my Masters name, l seek
of YOU who love his appearing. Serve God
by doing common actions in heavenly spirit,
and then, if your daily calling only leaves
YOU cracks and crevices of time, I'LL these up
with holy services. To use the Apostles
words. 'As we have opportunity, let US do
good unto all meD.

Ward, Brooklyn, yesterday, involving the
death of a man, woman, and three girls, by

section of the city, which are formed by the
filling up ofstreets over low and marshy ground.
The scene of the calamity is body of water,

of this pond are far below the
grade OF the street lines, are mere shautles,
occupied by poor, hard-Working people, About

DoughertY, aged ten years. Mary Sullivan, aged
nine years and Ann Carroll, aged ten years, all
residing in Douglass street, near Fourth avenue,
