their readers grow indignant. 1t
is true that this Legislature did cost
the State more IN per diem than the
preceding Legislature cost the State.
And why2
The preceding Legislature, which
is held up by way of palming off
the falsehood that q Republican

was all they could get under the
law. Most Of the Republican NOM
bers fattered themselves with the
belief that they would be returned
to the ensuing Legislature, which
turned out to be Democratic. That
Republican Legislature enacted a

Negro Voting Again,

THE Record is in favor of negroes
voting, but don't exactly like to
have niger run for office. It is
impossible to separate voting from
governing. If we let the negroes
vote, we cannot prevent them from
governing, and five prevent them
from governing us, we must deny
them the privilege Of voting, and
we must deny it on the true ground,
that the privilege willresult to their
injury and to the injury of the peo-
pie Of the American Union.
The men of our country, whether
in Congress or out of Congress,
whether whites or negroes, had
better soon make up their minds
that whore two incompatible races,
thus come into contact, one Of them,
only, can rule. If we are to split
up into many separate and distinct
and disagrceing States, then tho
negro race may rule in some of
them, from which the whites must
fee, But il we are to be nation
Of homogeneous people, a Union of
free States, then negroes must not
rule in a single State. Instead Of
encouraging them to dwell upon an
impossible idea, it will be the part
of wisdom to- let all understand the
truth, that the whole world may
know that the United States gov.
crnment always has been and al.
ways must bc, a free white mans
government, and never q mongrel
like Mexico, !

it but remains for the Democratic
State Convention to nominate prop
cr persons, to ensure success. The
Republicans, but few shert months
ago flushed with victory, are now
dishoartcnel and dismayed at the
total want of capacity and states
manship exhibited by the Executive
head of the Government to manage
the affairs OF a great nation. The
rank and file Of the party, those
who bore the hoat and burden Of
the canvass, who carried the coal
oil lamps and did the shouting for
GRANT, are indignant that the off
ces which they had so we'll earned
were given to the unclcs, the aunts,
the nephews, the cousins, and the
intimate friends of the GRANT and
DENT families. The soldiers who
served their country during the
war, and who rendered efficient
service in the campaign, who had
every reason to expect that in the
elevation of their Chief to the head
Of the nation, their services would
be recognized and their interests
looked after. stand aghast at seeing
their legless and armless comrades
turned out of Office to make room
for ec-rebeI officers, stay at home
professional Office seekers, and con.
tributors Of houses, horses and ci-
gars. The promises of economy
and honesty in the management Of
the affairs of the government 30
freely made before the election, have
all been violated, and the leading
Republican papers OF the country
do not hesitate to declare the pres
ent administration a complete fail
ure in every respect.

The Abolitionists have started the
cry OF "stop thief on the question
Of imperialism, and now set up the
plea that thepartics publishing The
InlpersdLjSt are Democrats. Such
an accusation comes with a very bad
grace from those who have uniform.
ly favored a complete reconstruc.
tion of the Government, and cen.
tralization of power in the Federal
agency. To confute this fraudulent
pretense, the IN. j. Journal dis.
tlnctly charges that The Imperial
tst has been started, and is main.
tanned, by Grant and his immediate
personal supporters, including a
member of his Cabinet, the Secre.
tary of the Navy. (.
