reiterating our exposures of the folly of it, of
the crimes it inspired among thousands Of
Republican office-holders, and the constantly
falling returns. AT last Congress was logged
and driven into doing its duty, and reducing
the tax on whisky OF course receipts at
once began to rise. With lower rate they
would rise higher still We are not aware
that General Grant was anybody's ally in that
practical revenue reform
With the closing up of some sources of ex-
penditure, which would have reduced this
years surplus, General Grant has had as little
to do as with the increased returns from Gus
toms and internal taxes. Such, for example,
as the 1923, GAO, 157 last year paid out of the
Treasury in additional bounties to soldiers,
of which President Johnson's Secretary of
War recommended in his December report
that no more claims should be considered
after March A. such as the Freedmen's Bureau
waste, the Alaska purchase, and the Pacific
Railroad bonds, to say nothing of the discon-
tinuance of costly military government in
seven States, or the rapidly diminishing pen
sion list.
As to these things, therefore, in which the
Times claims that General Grants work and
recreations prove SO advantageous to the
country it turns out that his work has had
no effect whatever, and his recreations none,
except the cost of his iunketIng in the
Tallapoosa, which did not belong to him.

never grudge that to such a receiver of every

timony of those familiar with the subject
The coolies taken to Peru and Cuba never re-
turn to China.
In the autumn of 1865 an attempt was
made by certain parties in New Orleans to OBJ
tain authority for the importation of Chinese
coolies, and correspondence took place be-
tween them and the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton at Washington. In this correspon-
dence, the Commissioner took the ground
that such importation of persons bound to
service and labor on the plantations of the
South would be clearly in opposition to the
spirit and intent of existing laws, and really
injurious to the interests of the planter. This
letter was approved by Mr.. Seward, to whom
il was submitted, and for time it closed the
agitation of this subject.
The solution of this question is an ex-
tremely simple one. The United States Gov
ernment should give to the inhabitants of
China the rights to which they are entitled
by treaty stipulations. Under these treaties,
they are entitled to free immigration here,
and to protection in their persons and pro-
perty. Their immigration hither may be
regulated by such laws as that passed in 1862,
and by the regular Passenger acts in force,
but cannot be restricted beyond this without
a violation of obligations entered into in good
faith, and the disregard of which will give the
Chinese good ground for refusing to observe
their part of the stipulations. No part of
these treaties binds us to allow an immigra-
ton of persons bound to service and labor
under conditions which virtually establish
system of slavery. The whole policy of our
Government is against it; and nothing could
be more inimical to the permanent well-being
of the country. We feel satisfied that Con-
gress and the Executive will unite to prevent
this great wrong from being committed.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Dreadful.

The editor of the Chicago Times is
after the Sorosis petticoats with sharp
stick. After abiding to the recent feed
these worthless had in New York aud the
various toasts proposed, he says: The
subjects spoken upon by these ladies 60

among those moro acute observers who
have made the fair sex q study. 1t is
in reference to what women hsbitually
talk about. That which they talk about
is the same as that which they dream
about and think about, to-wit: A
man. We do not, Of course, assert
this as being at all derogatory to
women. 1t is a discovery which is
rather calculated to elevate them in
the eyes of cynics and women haters,
who have believed that the sex is given
to frivolity. The woman who longs for
the ballot is moved thereto solely by
the hope that the possession of the fran
chise will bring her nearer the beloved
object Of her alteration. 1t will give
her more of his society. That q woman
thinks, dreams, talks always of man,
furnishes the key TO her character, to a
thousand actions which otherwise are
inexplieable, to the recesses of her In
most nature. Looked at from this
point of view, how creditable to hel
character is this search of woman toI

on her part is, whether Intentional ol
otherwise, a form of religious devotion

Gifts

The Radicals said great many things
against President JOHNSON, but there
are some things that they never did say
against him. They never charged him
with being mercenary. They never ac-
oused him of yenality. They never
alleged that he traflicked in offices.
They never said that he accepted gifts
either from seekers after place or from
anybody else. They would have boen
glad of q pretext to say these things
against him, but they could find meme.
A valuable present was offered to him
on the day of his Inauguration, but he
courteously refused it. He rejected
every gift proffered to him throughout
the whole period of his administration.
And he made his rule of refusal so dis
tinctly understood that he soon ceased
to be annoyed.

H..,.r wiu.Hi. First Victory

The appointment of Sho negro JoU-
BERT to the Office of Assessor of Internal
Revenue of the First District of LOulsl-
ana is due mainly to Buffers efforts.
The New Orleans Times describes BEN.'S
protege thus: "JoUBERT, if col"red
man, or of African blood, has none oil
the signs thereof. 1t is hardly fair to
consider his appointment as a recogni-
ton of the claims Of that portion of our
citizens who are designated as of Atrl-
can descent. He is native of this city;
is the owner of valuable real estate;
and not until the lato war and its con-
sequences, did he ever recognize the
equality of all men without distinction
of race, color, or previous condition.
Both JoUBERT and his father have been
owners of slaves. What gives more
significance to this result and greater
brilliaucy to the victory achieved by
BUTLER, is the fact that JoUBERTs
leading rival for this Office was an ex-
General of volunteers in the United
States army during the late war, and a

Here, for instance, was Mrs. Albert
French, of Lagrange, who, the other
day, left the room of her sick husband
to 90 on an errand to the house of
neighbor across the street. While there
some one asked her if she had heard of
a rumor to the effect that she was di-
vorced from her husband. She replied
no, and, in a laughing way, was making
some remark, about the absurd stories
people tell, when q person entering,
handed her a note from an attor-
ney, informing her that the ru-
NOR was true. Her husband had made
an .nulication in the Circuit Court Of
Elkhart cUScuty, where the parties had
never lived at all; the Sheriff had serv-
ed the process SO inforSraliy that shs
