If this be so, how did it happen that in 1867,
soon after the passage of the reconstruction
laws, Gov. Worth, Mr.. Gales Mr. Pell and others
OF the Conservative leaders, recognizing this po-
litical equality begged the colored people for
their votes? Our City readers have not forgot
ten that meeting of the colored people, called
together by Gov Worth and the Editors of the
Sentinel, on the Northern side of the State House,
in April, 1867, in which they admitted the poll
teal equality of the colored man with the white
man, and urged the former 10 vote with them
to reconstruct the government. 1t was all right
then that the colored man should be the politi-
teal equal of the white man, provided he would
go with the Rebel leaders; but it was all wrong
as soon as it was perceived that the colored
voters had minds of their own, and would 90
for reconstruction on no other than a LOYAL
basis
The equality other than political to which
the Sentinel" refers, would be much more like
ly to follow state of slavery than that of free
dom for the colored people. Indeed, it has fol-
lowed the former state, and its effects can be
seen everywhere. We deny that, because two
races OF people in the same country are free, it
follows that they must amalgamate. The pure
Spanish blood in Mexico, Cuba, and South
America is still perpetuated, and as much SO
where the African is free as where he is slave.
All this talk about NEGRO equality" and "negro
supremacy" is for effect. The Rebel leaders do
not themselves believe word of it. If the col
ored people would only vote with them, as they
will never do, we should hear no more of it.

Twenty acres of earnest Republicans attend
ed the grand Grant and Colfax demonstration at
Cincinnati on Saturday evening. The torchlight
procession was over two miles in length. South
ern Ohio is all afire with Republican enthusi-
asm. Two brigades Of Boys in Blue, one bat
talion of cavalry, and one of artillery attended
the meeting. Masses of spectators on either
hand, every foot Of the way, greeted the pro-
cession with cheers and watched it with delight.
1t made splendid show with its 5000 guards,
5000 brightly twinkling torches, scores Of gay
banners, and hundreds of transparencies.
Marching and counter marching, was sea of
fire over the countless heads. The night was
bright above by the cleaning of rockets
and the intense red and blue lights, while the
splendid piece of fireworks, in letters of man,
moth proportions, "Grant, the Conqueror of the
Rebellion" was burned, amid the roaring of
thousands of voices.

General Grant and Temperance.


The Rev. j. G. Butler, D. D., pastor OF st.
Paul's Lutheran church, of this city, and we'll
known to many of our citizens, thus writes to
the Lutheran Observer: tt4t-i. e.
can esteemed christisn minister, for himself
and for many whom he represents, writes me,
asking, Is it fact that General Grant is drink
ing man? Does he drink intoxicating liquors to
excess? Is he drunkard? Many OF US (minis-
ters) want to know whether these charges are
true and are willing to rest the question on your
decision
at is proper that the people of this land
should know whether these things are 80, ana
these questions have been thoroughly investiga-
ted by men at the Capital interested IN all that
pertains to the well-being of the Republic. Their
nneouiyocal and emphatic answer to these que
ries is, No! Gen. Grants appearance indicates
nothing of the kind. Ihave seen him repeatedly
in his Office, upon the street, and at his own resi-
dence and have seen nothing upon which to give
these charges the shadow of foundation. Those
who know him best-total abstinence men and
christian men, soldiers and civilians, say that he
does not taste even wine-that his habits are
strictly in accordance with the temperance prin-
ciples of the day. 'f
"It is not amiss for me to add that Hon:
SCHUYLER Colfax punctiliousy abstains from all
appearance of evil in this respect. ne Is com.
municant in the Reformed DUTCH church-a
denomination not represented by church or
ganization at the Capital. He is pew holder In
st. Paul's Lutheran church, OF which the writer
of this is pastor. The Lord hasten the time when
all American statesmen and soldiers shall keep
Gods Sabbaths and reverence His sanctuaries. i,
Glad that am able to furnish this testimony,
am yery truly yours, J. G.BUTLER."

Nothing could show more clearly the scru-
tiny with which our editorials are scanned
by editors of Conservative journals than the
fact that, one of the most learned and &C
complished of these knights of the Ku Klux
quill, has made the astonishing discovery
that Charles was Jeheaded and not hanged,
as it appeared in the Standard, owing to
some slip in the writer, perhaps, whose
mind, doubtless, was not Immediately direct
ed to the mode of the execution. This trifling
slip has given rise to an editorial in lead
ing Virginia newspaper, which was copied
with gusto in the poor old rebel concern in
this city. Will thesc antiquarian gentlemen
be kind enough to inform US whether the
axe which separated the head of Charles
from his royal body, was the same which
will be used by General Grant in taking of
the heads of Democratic Office holders after
his electiona We pause for a reply.

Now and Then.

In 1860, South Carolina was at the pima
Gle of her glory. She was prosperous at
home and her credit was fair abroad. Her
bank notes were worth more than our own
even here amongst US. But to-day, how
fallen There are not enough loyal white
men in that once proud and defiant State to
make majority of the Legislature. The
State cannot borrow money; and it was q
private citizen of North Carolina who has
loaned the State twenty-five thousand dollars
to meet immediate demands. Poor South
Carolina The retributive justice of Heaven
has at last found her ont!

Upon the adoption Of the resolutions, the Hon.
Joseph C. Abbott, was introduced and addressed
the meeting in speech of about two hours, dis.
cussing the true situation of the country, and
calling upon the true friends OF the government
to stand BY the old flag, and vote for Grant and
Colfax. His remarks had the most telling effect
upon the audience, and drew forth hearty ap.
plause. a-i r.- .u-
Judge Alden, of Illinois, was next introduced,
AID spoke for an hour and half, and his speech
was one of the greatest efforts ever before listen
ed to in the old county Of johnson. He entered
into the full details Of the political question
showed up the true principles ofthe Democratic
party, and warned the people against the corrup.
ton that has ever characterized the party, and
appealed to the old line Wings Of the State to
stand true to their old principles and avert the
results of another bloody war. The speaker dis
cussed some very fine points (and very fatal ones
to tho Democracy, regarding the reconstruction
acts and it was plainly visible that his remarks
on that question touched the copperhead por
ton of the audience In a very tender place.
Mr.. Alden's remarks were very well received.
The colored portion of the audience were ad
dressed by two of their colored friends, afte
which the meeting adjourned, with three heart!
cheers for Grant and Colfax.
