Where all these debssed and forsaken To-
males came from we do not know. Wee
know, however, that an unusual number Of
them are in our city. They are not the bawds
that an our brothels, but wretched, drunken,
filthy, ragged creatures, who roam from point
to point not knowing where they will obtain
the next meal or nights shelter. They fire.
quent the low rum holes, copsort with negroes,
and in their general life and .demeanor show
depth Of depth Of depravity beyond which
il seems impossible for mortals to go. At
noon to-day, brace Of these poor creatures,
Keeling drunk, their matted hair hanging
about their shoulders, their clothes filthy
and torn, were ast upon by some negro boys,
on Poplar street, and made the neighborhood
resoand with obscene aud profane outcries.
Almore revolving scene We never witnessed;
but all who saw the wretched beings felt
more disposed 70 pity than TO blame.

Tine African Gentleman Wants His Share Of the L0aves and
 Fishes.

The gentleman from. Africa is begin hing to claim recognition as one entitled to all the rights and privileges of a white mans brother and equal He votes; why shouldn't he hold office. He assists in putting others in office; why shouldn't he be put in office? The injustice done the negroes by excluding them from office by the commanding officers of Virginia has caused complaints to be sent to the Senate asking thata reformation be made, so that they can get their due share of the public offices. Senator Sumner took the matter in charge, and had the complaints sent to the Judiciary Committee. We look for bill declaring that due share of public positions shall be assigned to the African gentlemen in proportion to their votes; and punishipg by removal from office any satraps that shall disobey the law. There is sometimes else, then, besides the ballot required to stop negro agitation. The balance of power does not mean to be satisfied with the franchise alone.

One of the suspected parties was traced into an isolated ranch some four miles from the city, out on the line of the St. Charles Rock road.

p@ How true it is that a constant habit in any direction comes at last to be considered as the right habit, even though it may be against the dictates of common sense and common honesty. This is the case with many the world over who adnfit the usefulness ofnews- papers to their locality, and who to en- courage the continuance of them, either take them for years and don't pay for them, or else borrow the reading of them from their more honest and enter prising neighbor. An exchange says : We know of a fellow who, upon learn ing friend had gone into the publish l ing business, at once subscribed for the paper. The publisher was rather deli
 cate about sending the bill--but after some ten years had elapsed, made bold to dun his constant reader" when the latter at once grew indignant, refused
 to pay, and ordered the paper stopped,

rs- lis strange infatuation which

nS5~ IL is a strange lniatuation Whlch makes so universal the opinion that po- litical sentiment is in our tune of ne- cessatinc the greatest safeguard to our happiness, and the surest means of prosperity. To many are the men who hold that the greatest need of the South is type of politics in keeping with their own. While we would not for a moment discourage the cultivation of true political principles or undervalue their importance to a nation or people i; we must be allowed to say that politics unaided will never make a nations creditor preserve peoples prosperity. Accompanying sound policy for the reg nlation of the intricate affairs of the nation, their must be sound indus trial policy for the regulation and gov ernment of affairs at home; while this is true of nations, it is equally true ot individuals. A simple adherance to the principles of party, no matter bow correct those principles may be will never give man bread or make his fields to bear the fruits that the AL mighty intends only for those who will pay the price in 'honest toil." The mighty current of political excitement which has lately moved the heart of the Southern people. to many it is feared, have lost of individual interest and in- dividnal responsibilities no matter whether to our young men, the politi- cal sky be cloudy or bright, it is with them to make with their own hands. honest fortunes and happy homes If they will pay the price. An exchange says upon this subject with becoming fitness:
 The glory, tho honor and prosper ity-of the south arc not in the hands of old politicians they are in the keep ing of the young men who, as they prove industrious or indolent, great shall be their reward or terrible their punishment What the South most urgently requires at this supreme hour Of destiny Is a splendid array of hard working, sober, stalwart and enterpri- sing youths.
 .ss1 llc young HhtH WHO NoTh HoW are bound to be tho lords of the future and the rulers ofthe land. No matter how lowly, industry will cnnobse them and their progeny will own the seats of domination In the same ratio, the idle and timid will sink lower as the years progress, and the traditions of their aristocratic lineage will not save them from decreptitude and final ex- tinction. The better man is born the mare is he called upon to give proof that he is superior to the dones of his ancestors and worthy of his gentle blood. There is no excuse for him if he fails to outstrip those who have to battle against adverse fate and social ostracism. He ought to blush if the race be won by the tortoise, while he is so swift and nimblc hare.

 W. or until th-
 fo--and there is little doubt on t. part of of the Senate--then the House will scearceiy disagree, as the act for it's repeal was passed unanimously. We are bound 10 give the President credit for some strategy in this matter, as he refused to make any removals from office until the law was repealed or suspended. The act of refusal, therefor, retained the present incumb- ents in office, of whom great many were Johnson men, and warm support- CTS of his administration. To get rid of these office holders and put in place loyal Republicans the law must be re- pealed or modified in some shape, for Grant, it is said. has refused to make any removals until he is in some way relieved from the operations of the law. And we are bound to support him in the enforcement of this law, which he has sworn to do in taking the oath of office. The act still stood upon the statute book, and was part the laws 1 to be executed, and President Grant could not, consistently with his duty, remove man from office who had not been guilty of some crime. This, then threw the responsibility of retaining these Johnson men in office upon the Senate of the United States. And Y' fact. the Senate becomes responsibV | for the entire adminiSk3hoh>a ths | Government, as it sis through thcsv agents of the people that the laws arc executed.

Attorney General HEOare's Foot
 aRy in the Cabinet.
Washington (March 15) Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser.

Washington (March 15) Correspondence of
 the Boston Advertiser.
 The supposition that Attorney Gen. eral Hoares appointment to the Cabi- net was intended to be of a temporary character is not warranted by anything that the President has said or done be- fore or since it was made. Many of the politicians are troubled by the fact that one State has two members of the Cabinet, and some friends with whom the President consulted about the ap- pointment thought he might be cm- barrassed by the choice of Judge Hoare and desire to choose Mr. Bout well, but he himself said at the time that this difficulty ofgiving two places to one State was among the least of the difficulties he had to encounter, and the idea that Judge Hoare should retire to make room for MT. Boutwell, was not of his suggestion. When Judge Hoare first talked with the President after arriving here he said that he had no wish but to serve the country, and would do whatever the President de- sired him to do. He was answered that the President had no desire except that he should qualify and at once en- ter upon the active duties of his office. Judge Hoare did this, and is rapidly learning his new work. There is the best reason for saying that the Presi- dent has no intention at present of superceding him. The question of loyalty, he says, is of far less conse- quence than the question of fitness, and Judge Hoare is already proving him. self fit man for the place given him. His footing in the Cabinet is now as sure as that of any other man, and the people therefore need not worry them- selves to find new office for him or pick outia new man for tho Attorney Generalship.
