HENRY WARD BEECHER AND GENERAL LEE
The speech of Henry Ward Beechcr at
Cooper Institute on Monday night in behalf of
Washington College, Virginia, was a pro-
duction remarkable as much for its kindly
spirit as for It's novelty, at time when the
party of which the speaker IS supposed to be a
shining light, is dealing In stupidity, malice
and all uncharitablcness at Washington. The
first resolution introduced by Mr.. Beecher, for
example, reads that lit is at once the duty
and the privilege of those who maintained the
unity Of this nation by war to be foremost in
time Of peace in all works of love which tend
to make the American people one in sentiment
as we'll as in government" How does that
harmonic with the action Of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee and Congress, whose works
love" are so beautifully demonstrated in the
Southern States through military rule and
negro supremacy!
But General Robert E. Lee is President of
Washington College; and how does Bcechcr
speak Of him? He says y plead this cause
because General Lee is President of it. No
man more than [ regretted his decision but
knowing how human nature runs | cannot say
was surprised, though grieved. do not
know that if | had been born and bred in the
COllli bi1 w HdG HiiUulu HdSC OOuC lllC Slut
thing. But for Divine Providence he would
have stood III New York and been at the City
Hall debating terms to the people of the North
He failed. But General Lee stands in New
York tonight not with his sword debating
terms, but as q scholar holding out the hand
OF peace and saying to Us, Give me bread for
my scholars; give me books tormy scholars /"
And Beecher pleads earnestly that Lee should
have bread and books, not as matter Of charity,
but IN the form OF Justice, mingled 4 little,
perhaps, With seltisllness, or, as he calls it,
sel-preservation for he argues that by foster
ing education in the Southern States We confer |
benefit upon the North However, it is an
admission worth obtaining just at this moment
when persecution, not unmixed with folly, |
Is SO rampant--that the South is not an out
cast and absolutely disinhcrted; that she is
still part OF the country, and has interests in
common with us al.-N. T. HauM

Board of Trade Report.

Almost daily we hear testimony to
the great benefit which has resulted
to the interests Of Evansville, by
the publication and wide circu-
lation of the Report Of the
Board of Trade. 1t has not only
been placed in the hands Of every
merchant and business man who
trades in this market, but thousands
Of copies have been circulated in all
parts of the United States. It has
done more to inform the public
abroad Of our progress, the magnitude
OF our business, and our importance,
and awaken an interest in Evansville.
than anything ever before published.
Its ultimate value TO the city cannot
be calculated.
The success of the first publication
has led to the expression Of a general
desire that it be continued annually;
and we take this early opportunity Of
stating that, if at the close Of the
current year it Is thought advisable to
make another exhibit Of our city's
growth and business, another publ
cation OF it will be made; so that no
encouragement may be given to out
side or inexperienced parties, who
might attempt the preparation of such
Report. There is much valuable
matter which was crowded out of the
first Report, which ought properly to
be included in the second, and which
would make 1t fully as interesting and
attractive

On

We believe there was never can
didate for the Presidency whose name
ended with on but was elected to
that position. This is a singular fact.
and we refer to il on account of its
singularity. The first President was
Washingt- on, and he was succeeded
by Jefers- on and Maids on. After
ward Jackson and Harrison were
elected to that high Office. Then we
have Lincoln and Johnson. Does
not these facts show that luck or ia
tality, or whatever it may be termed,
follow all candidates whose name ter
inmates with on? The name of
prominent candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency
ends with on. If the Democratic
National Convention, which assem-
bles In New York on the 4th of July.
should nominate Pendlet-on as the
standard bearer of the Democracy in
the Presid entail contest, would not
the on be an omen of success and
with Pendleton move on to victory?
We take it for grant ed it would be
a cold fact when the ballot box rem
ders its verdict.-IndidnGp0is Sen
ttnel.
Unfortunately for your theory, it is
not sustained by the cold facts.
JEFFERSON and JACKSON were both
defeated the first time they ran for
President by men whose names did
not have the magical termination.
History compels you to GRANT that
much.
