THIRTY CoLoRED MEN.-The pa
pers all over the South bear evidenet
TO the thrift and industry of the col
ored men who have lately been eman
cipated. The cry that the negroes in
state of freedom would be care
less, improvident set, has been aban
doned long ago. The Augusta Ga)
Constitutionalist of Friday last, gives
the following statement, showing
what industry may do:
"Six colored men, engaged on the
plantation of Mr.. Joshua Key, in
Burke county, came to this city, and,
backed by this gentleman, drew mon.
ey enough on their fine prospective
crop from one of our cotton factors
to purchase from Messrs. Wyman &
May, six new buggies, with all ap
purtenances, one of them a two
horse vehicle. To these vehicles
they each hitched their own mules,
animals which evidenced by their
sleek appearance the faithful care
they received, and drove from the
city, an illustration Of what industry,
good behavior and thrift will accom-
plish for the colored, as well as the
white man. Here is an example
worthy of imitation by the idle and
misguided colored men who congre-
gate around the towns and cities,
living from hand to mouth"

REPUTATION.

The n. Y. Tribune makes the fol-
towing sensible hit in regard to repu
pudiation
Repudiators of the s'Democratic''
stamp are generally very fierce upon
the "niggers." They will be more
so, if they believe what Mr.. Myers,
a colored shipwright of Baltimore,
told the Labor Congress in Philadel
phia "The colored men of this na.
tion," he said, "are entirely opposed
to the reputation OF the NatiOna
debt. They go in for. every honest
dollar borrowed to be honestly pai6
back" 1t may be argued that they
are poor creatures after all, and pay
no taxes. But we are not aware tina
the Repudiators, taken as class, arr
very gigantic taxpayers, and We ar
pretty certain that they are no
bloated by bonds. What they cal
do is to vote for Reputation, to spit
men better off than themselves
what the colored man can do, is t.
vote for fair and honest payment, t.
show his appreciation of the cause Il
which most of the money was expend

STATE SENATOR.

The nomination of Hon. Abel M
Corey, of Fulton county, in the Sen
atorial Convention last Thursday,
was a just tribute to a faithful public
servaLt, a wise legislator, and true
Republican. Mr.. Corey stood faith
fully to his post during the past two
winters, and by his voice and vote
bs'tle1 manfuliy to check the parti
zaa and reckless Democratic majori-
ty. The people of the District will
be glad that he has again consented
to a candidate, that they may, by
their votes, give an unequivocal ant
not 20 be misunderstood endorsement
of his course. His election is fore
gone conclusion, the only question
to ne decided being how large shall
be his majority. The Republicans
of this county will not be behind in
doing their full duty to that part oi

ty Peace Democrat, who, dissatisfied
with the nomination of Rosecrans,
because of his war record, issued q
call for a new Democratic State Con-
venIion to nominate a peace candi-
date, has withdrawn his call, since
the nomination of Pendleton. His
call was for a convention of those
"known as Copperheads during the
war" to nominate one of their kidney
for Governor. He now declares that
Pendleton fills the bill, and that he

GEO. H. PENDLETON-HIS LETTER.

GEO. b. PENDLETUN-hlo LEIIEn.
The Democracy made the best OF
q lad bargain in nominating Geo. II :
Pendleton for Governor, and Mr..
Pendleton made the best of worse
one id accepting the nomination.
Mr. Pendleton las nothing in CON-
mon with those Democrats who ia
vor a ,:nsv departure" He is rep
resentative of the orthodox Democ'
racy, and is richly deserving Oh tne
vote OF every draft sneak and bUuoo
ty-jumper in the State, and there is
no doubt he will receive them. He
wss entirely befogged during the
war, and could see no way out of our
difficulties save by dishonorable CON-
promise. He saw thousands upon
thousands of brave men march with
gun and knapsack, from his native
State, ready and willing to lay their
lives in the balance against rebellion,
yet the scale loaded with slavery and
treason weighed down all these in
the eyes Of Geo. II. Pendleton. The
blood of Ohio's volunteer soldiers
was g 1rinkled over hundred battle
fields yet all this sacrifice was not
sufficient to raise even hope in the
bosom of Mr., Pendleton that the re-
bellon would be crushed. He has
learned nothing and forgotten moth
ing since. When the war ended in
the triumph of the national cause it
was surprise from which he has not
vet recovered. Had he not predict
ed otherwise?
In his letter of acceptance he en-
deavors to make capital for himself
and party by series of misrepresen-
tations which indicate clearly that he
is out of his element and should re-
turn at once to his favorite doctrine
of State rights. "Money is scarce"
says MIR. Pendleton, while the fact is
that there is three times as much
currency in the country now as there
was ten years ago. employment is
difficult to be obtained Says Pendle-
ton, when no one need be idle save
for want of willingness to work.
"Lsoor is badly rewarded" says Pen
dleton, when mechanics are earning
from S4 to So per day, and unskilled
labor is worth as much as ithas been
for years. And then he proceeds to
complain of the revenue tax which is
not tax on the poor mans property,
but on the rich mans income. He
CON plains of the tariff which exempts
the necessaries of life and taxes the
superfluities of the rich. When the
loysl people of Ohio desire cata
logue of the evils and burdens en-.
tailed upon them by a Democratic
rebellion, they will be likely to en-

The Haryard-Oyf0rd Race.

AS the day for the Harvard and
Oxford boat race draws near, the
result increases, and there is much
discussion as to which crew will win
II is not safe to make any prediction
because we know so little about the
the Oxford crew. There are, how
ever, a few facts known which rem
der 1t not improbable that English
men will be astonished at the rowing
of the Harvard crew. The four men
that compose the crew are in very
fine condition, and this condition is
not the result of a few weeks OF
months training, but of three years
careful living and working. The
cable dispatches announce that the
Harvard crew have pulled Al strokes
a minute, and the English papers
doubt their ability to keep up this
pace throughout the entire race. In
this we think they will be mistaken,
for judging by what these same men
have done before, they can pull al
least at that rate, and, In ashort dash
or "spirt,' can pull five or six more
strokes a minute. While we have
no crews In this country that pull a
stroke exactly the same as that OF
Oxford, yet some pull one very near
like it, and wherever it and the Har
ward stroke have come in contact,
the Harvard stroke has won. The
Yale stroke in the last three Worces-
ter races has been nearer like the
Oxford than the Harvard, and every
time Yale has been beaten, and that
too when her crews have been as
powerful as those of Harvard. In
American races the bow oar steers
with his feet-English crews carry a
coxswain. In order to have the race
the Harvard crew consented to carry
a coxswain, and it is asserted that this
is against them, but it would seem
that it can hardly make any great
difference.
Some English papers say that If
the day is fine the Harvards will win,
and if bad the Oxfords. And it is
noticeable, that in the betting the
odds against Harvard have steadily
decreased. Then, too, the Harvard
style is more favorable to a good
start than the Oxford manner Ol
rowing. Against the Americans are
the facts that thew row over strange
water, and are among strange people,
but from all accounts it seems prOba.
BILE they will have fair race. 1t has
been limited in England that the Har-
wards have not yet shown their full
power, and this is very probable
As we said before, 1t is not safe to
predict a success for Harvard, but
we think it is safe to predict that
they will much surprise the English
oarsmen, and if beaten, will not be
beaten badly.-Cincinndti Gazette.
