BUsH.-The Washington correspondent
of the Charleston Courier says:
''In the National Negro Labor Con-
vention, South Carolina was represented,
and the delegates from that State took q
prominent part. One of them, VIM
bush, went far ahead of oil the Others in
asserting the rights of the freedmen, de-
claring that the next United States Sena-
tor elected from South Carolina would
be negro, and that he was himself rails
ing colored militia regiment that would
drive their Ku Klux enemies to the
wall"
Let the Chester Reporter take notice.
'Lco," the Washington correspon-
dent of the Charleston Courier, says, in
reference to the attitude of Virginia:
''The situation of Virginia as sup
plant, through legislative committee.
for admission, after she had complied
entirely with all the onerous terms of
admission imposed upon her, is very hu-
initiating. Some members of her State
Government, on the conservative side,
are pledging themselves that the State
shall keep in the radical track, and it is
through this formal pledge only that the
Reconstruction Committee will be in
duced to receive her.
cit is true, however, that some of the
members of Congress elected from Vir-
glnla, and many OF her conservative
citizens disapprove of, and rebuke this
begging for admission. They say, that
having done all that the Federal Govern
ment required, they are entitled to ad-
mission without further humiliation.
They sc out the idea of giving any pro-
misses for the future. and will not even
ask Congress to fulfil, in good faith, its
own obligation. It is true, also, that
some of tho members of tho begging
committees who have signed the pledge
against any change of the radical pro-
visions of the State Constitution, laugh
at their own action, saying that they
claim no right whatever to bind the State
rs to its future action"

''F believed in the efficacy Of tie gentle

a fixed fact that whenever horse or COW

so situated that it cannot escape--a wrong
system of treatment has been pursued. The
animals of the farmer are naturally disposed
to be docile and affectionate. They recog'

as soon as a human being would, and man
ifest their affection in y variety of ways,
which none but the kind master or keeper
will observe. Have you. not seen teamsters

will generally have kind, gentle animals,

quietly in and seized upon him.
Another suddenly appearing at the
window presented pistol, and all
present were ordered to keep their
positions and maintain the most per-

does this mean?" No reply was
made. The men having Penny in

imperialism

From the ImpeFialist, edited under the
auspices and at the cost of the Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. Adolph Borie, we extract
the following: .....
can imperialism is now possible, which
shall still leave the people free, as well as
secure, and make nation happy and con-
tented, as well as respectable" t.t...
Shis journal takes for its motto the IA
nous exclamation of Napoleon, ''The EN-
pire is Peace" and for its model the imper-
ialism of France. "A great many very hon
est, short sighted people r.dicule the move
ment, but in the condition of the country
to day, anu with the temper of the public
mind, trained as 1t has been to submission
and acquisescence in every despOtic act, a
complete change in our whole system of
government might be effected in twenty
four hours without the slightest effort at re-
sistaRce. A people who have submitted to
so many outrages and usurpations are pre-.
pared to submit to q great many more
Human nature is the same sort of stuff now
thatit was two or five thousand years ago.
Selfshness Is the most prominent thread
that runs through the warp and woof of its
texture. The cunning and the aspiring
know how to promote their own selfish
views by enlisting in their cause the selfish
feelings of the multitude. Men, like fish,
provided the hook is concealed, greedny
swallow the bait This fact was proven by
the ease with which they were carried away
by the enthusiasm that precipited the coun-
try into a civil war, not forseeing the
dreadful consequences that were to be en-
tailed op themselves. The hook was adj
roitly concealed by the ingenuity of the
unprincipled demagogues who stirred up
the elements of strife that they might ride
into power, place and wealth, and now
laugh at the dupes who were so easily gulled.
So here with this movement in favor of
an imperialism, the great mass are to be de-
Iuded with the idea that employment and
comfortable subsistence can now only be
attained through the influence of a strong
| government; that republican form has
| failed to confer it, and therefore let some
/ other be tried. The fact that one of Grants
! Cabinet is prominent in the movement, and
willing to embark financially in the enter
prise of starting paper devoted to its ad.
Yancement is significant, to say the leasi
of it. The new paper was quite successful
on the first issue. Oyer ter. thousand cop

. The celebrated American tragedi-
an, Mr.. Cooke, was always fond of a
frolic or his benefit night, declaring
that he never took liberties with his
friends al any other time. 1t once
happened, during an engagement at
Philadelphia, that on such an occa-
sion he was short of money, and at
a loss where to raise the wind for the
accustomed breeze. In this dilem-
ma, he Started up the town in the
speculative mood, determined to
inspirit himself IN some way or
other. Having reached the corner
of Callowhill and Eighth streets, he
perceived one of those enticing
signs of three golden balls. He
turned the corner and entered the
fatal door, and addressed the man
behind the counter thus: ..t-"
s'My name is Cooke. This is my
benefit night. The manager, can't
do without me. / ami up for Rich
ard the Third. 1 want some liquor.
1 have no money. Now, / propose
to pledge my royal person for ten
dollars, and you may lay me. upon
one of your shelves"
The joke was queer one; the
pawnbrOker paid the ten dollars, and
SOOkO was lhlQ u ps 4llC IElGdII6 IIdG
night was crowded, and al. seven
o'clock the manager came forward
to apologize, stating that with the
permission of the audience the per-
formanee would commence with
farce. He had sent in different di-
rections, bat was unable to find Mr..
Cooke in the city. He, presumed
| that the tragedian would be forth
coming in the course of the next
half hour. AS the manager retired,
he was told that a boy wished to see
him in the green room. He found
the boy, who presented note writ
ten in cipher, which he at length
! translated thus: .art-
MY DEAR JoEES-I am pawned
| for ten dollars; send and redeem
me, or it will be impossible for
Richard to be himsel tonight.
"Yours, w. COOKE"
The manager started Immediately
after the fixed star, and found him
nicely shelved, with plate of bis
cults and cheese, and bottle OF
prandy. In the. button-hole Of his
coat was a piece of paper marked
mo. /, ,473 Z; pawned for ten dollars" "
The amount was paid, cab call
ed, and Mr.. Cooke and the manager
returned to the theatre, when the
former had Just time to dress and
commence, tNoW is the winter ol
4 our discomfort" " etc. 1t is said that
| he never played Richard better ol
received more applause.
