Our esteemed contemporary, The
Yorkville Enquirer, is Of opinion that
neither articles nor speeches will pro.
duce any effect upon the negroes, and
defines its position in these words:
"The Charleston Nc,Os says they al
ready feel indirectly the weight Of
taxation, and desire to throw it of.
All that is nocessaryS then, is to make
them feel it directly, and this can be
done before the next election, if the
people of the State will adopt the
plan proposed by York, and require
every laborer who works fora share of
the crop to pay fair proportion of
tax on whatever land he works. This
will bring tho subject Of Radical tax
alton home otho negroes, in o form
which they can comprehend. It. will
produce agitation just where it is want.
cd, viz: among themselves. Occupy
ing this position, tho Democratic party
can afford to wait and let the medicine
work, without exhibiting any extra
anxiety q I1i 70 persuade negroes to become

THE CUBAN QUESTION CuLMINAr-
ING As far as the policy and action
of tho United States are concerned
the Cuban question is eliminating. If
we look at this question as it now
stands-at the efforts of our govern
ment through General Sickles to OBJ
tain the Independence of Cuba; at
the declaration of our Minister to the
Madrid government that the time is
near when tho United States will have
to recognize the Cubans as belliger.
ents; as public sentiment here, at
the wcll known sympathy of the Pres
ident, the Cabinet and Congress with
the Cubans; at tho increased activity
of Spain to crush the insurrection
at the prolonged and so far successful
struggle of the Cubans to acquire
their independence, and now Mt the
Cuban privateer, the Hornet, falling
into the hands Of the United States
authorities, as we'll as at the difficult
ties surrounding the EuteFpe and the
Spanish gunboats in our waters--it is
evident the administration is brought
to q point when its policy and purpose
with regard to Cuba must be, made
known. A purely negative policy is
no longer possible, though an aifirma.
tive policy in favor of the Cubans
would necessarily lead to a rupture
with Spain or to Q participation in the
struggle. Tho time is near when the
United States must cithcr recognize
tho Cubans as belligerents or abandon
them to their fate NJ Y. Herala.

BEN BUSLun by tho converse tion
of2Bon Butler, with. ono of our report
ers the other day we soc that tho fight
for tho championship of the House is
likely to prove tho liveliest intellec.
tual mill of the Congressional season.
Butler is the true leader of his party
in the House, 80 far as intellectual
foroe, political perception, training,
sagacity, Wit and boldness go--and
there is q prejudice thet such things
90 all tho way in making leader
Thad Stevens was the loader till ho
died, and Thad's mantle wouldn't bo-
gin to cover Ben Butler. But at the
same time the tradition is that. the
Chairman Of the Committee Of Ways.
and Means is The recognized leader,
and that clairmanis is Sehenck! Now
Schenck is the antipode Of Butler.
He is as dull and heavy in thought, as
Butler is cloar and subtle, He is as
slow and phlcgmatic Ms his. rival is
mercurial aud electric. Sehenek is
even below the Average Of intelligent
humanity in the possession Of ideas,
and it is the most farcical notion ii,
the world that such a mar, should lead
such n House. Butler sees this ridicu.

The ELECTION for Senator.

The Election for Senator.
Last week we announced the
election Of Judge Henry Cooper
20 the United States Senate. The
canvass was exciting. The bal
loting began on Tuesday, and con-
tinued day after day, Mr.. johnson
receiving larger poll than any
other candidate, land clear major
ity Of the Conservative vote, until
Friday noon, when the matter
was ended by Mr.. Cooper's cleo
ton. BY the rules of party gov
eminent, Dir. Johnson, having
received majority of the anti
Radical votes, was entitled to the
election, but the opposition to him
had become SO embittered as to
prevent a majority vote In his
favor. The twelve Radical men,
bers held the balance of power
they consulted with the anti-John-
con men, and agreed to support
Henry Cooper, but would not
pledge themselves to any other
man. Accordingly, he was put in
nomination and elected. We do
not propose quarreling with those
Conservative members who, by
uniting with the Radicals, ended
the contest. We hope there will
be no more divisions among those
who should be opposed to Radical
lem. We capnot afford TO quarrel
among ourselves. Yet we believe
the people of Tennessee desired Mr.
Johnson's election. They want 6
man at Washington who will wage
an aggressive warfare upon Radical
misrule and corruption. Mr.
johnson, they believe, would have
done it; be possesses the nerve
snd ability, and would have deall
heavy blows at The despotism un
Ger which the country is writhing

theri "ny policy as advocated
by President Johnson, was simply
the restoration of the Southern
people to all their political freedom
and liberty, after the close of the
war, under their old constitutions.
For whom were the benefits OF
my policy" intended? For the
South-for the Southern people,
whom an INSCRIPTIONS Congress
wanted to grind to death by tyr
amy and military dictation- So
faithful did Mr.. Johnson adhere
to this (my) policy, that he was
arraigned on impeachment by the
same men who now rejoice with
the Neacs over his defeat, and came
near being hurled from his power.
The Nescs may be little late, but
! it is in ample time to array itself
with the impeachers.
Mr.. Johnson was then, as be is
to-day, a representative man. He
was then and is to-day the expo
nent, defender and champion of
principles and measures as dear to
every lover of republican liberty
as life itself; and an assault upon
him is an assault upon the princi-
pies he represents and the mea-
isures he advocates. We care no
more for Mr.. Johnson, as an indi-
v:dual, than any other great man,
but these Yantop assaults hare
not bottom enough in them to
keep the people from seeing
through them. The principles
and the measures are the vital
and real points OF attack, and not
the man. Mr.. Johnson is today
the acknowledged champion of the
constitution of our government.
He is a statesman, whose fame is
coextensive with the limits of civ
ilization but it was left for the
Meacs to discover and herald to
the world that he is no statesman
"a petty "aoireacorker"!
And last: the NeacS in its issue
of the 30th ult., leads off in a
highly worded article compliment
airy of Senator Martin for going
into a conclave meeting with some
Radicals to defeat Mr.. Johnson
: for the Senate. Well, it may be
a compliment, and no doubt one
was needed. But it does not even
condescend to mention the name
of Hon. James M. Bright, our Rep
} resentative, one Of the best and
truest men in the world. Mr.
Bright refused to enter into "Sar
GAIN" and misrepresent his people
He voted for Johnson. like a Ro
man hero, and with an integrity
worthy OF the man, for all Of
) which the Nea0s thought him un
) worthy its notice. We assure Mr.
B. that his reward is in the hearts
of his constituents, and not in the
Meaos. We have said this much
about and to the Ne,cs, just to in
form it, that when it assails rep
resentative man, it no less assails
the principles and measures of the
man; and all those who are bis
friends, who think and act with
him. A JoRNsoN1AN.

TO CHILDREN.
NUMBER THREE.

We present this week a letter from
Jacob K. Bear. II is full Of instruc-
ton to the children. We have said
something before to you concerning
the habits you are now forming, and
of the pertinacity with which they
follow you and control your action as
men grown up. We hope you will
read that letter and ponder over it.
Mr.. Bear was a good business man.
He graduated at a commercial school
in Chicago. He was an expert in his
business understood it thoroughly in
all its details, and at the time of leav-
ing was making more clear money
with less capital than any other one
man in BrOwnville. He was receive
ing a large salary as Telegraph Opera
tor. The u. S. Express Company and
the various Railroad Companies were
paying him well for the transaction of
their business. He was forming bad
habits and going in d~issolute and way
ward company. The desire to con-
tinue this course grew upon him daily.
When demonstrated by his friends, he
said: "Oh! there is no danger of be-
ing led estray." At this time he
could have easily reformed, and per-
haps would have done SO, had he real
ly felt that there was danger. His
self-cOnfidence led him to disregard
the advice of others. Like too many
others, they think they can drink in
~toxicating liquors, chew tobacco, gam
bic and go in company with lewd
women to-day and reform hereafter at
pleasure. In so doing they under-es-
innate the power of continued habit
over mankind. We will have less
power of resistance tomorrow than
we have to-day, although the differ
ence may not be perceivable. 1t was
so with Mr.. Bear. He INDUCED his
passions when, as he says, he knew
he was doing wrong, until the warn
ing of prudence, right, justice and
friends failed to stop him in his down
ward course. This habit thus formed
the indulgence Of this passion by
him impelled him to gamble away
over $500 Of the funds of the Express
Company. The discovery of this
could not be avoided and as he now
says, he plainly saw that to stay was
but to go to the p~enitentiary, and to
embezzle more of the funds and leave
result in nothing more, aud so
he decided to take the chances of es-
cape. Now, if you can believe him;
his punishment as an outlaw from
friends and society, with the
fear of arrest before his eyes night and
lay, is setting his brain on fire. How
important that all our young readers
form correct habits, avoid bad
practices and bad company. They
IAN in no event do you good, bnt are
most certain to end in ruin.

The Capital Removal.

A WashinitOn dispatch says: The
prospect of removing the capital out
West would appear to have more
strength than the WashingtOnians be-
lieve. The western members are
pretty well united on the subject, and
it is gaining favor. From all that l
can learn about hesubject, il is very
likely that a trial of strength between
the remOvers and anti-removers will
come up at next session of Congress.
An appropriation of So SOC, 900 is to be
asked for to put up a new building for
the State and War Departments, and
the Western members, it is said, will
fight the proposition at every stage.
The Western men assert that every
additional dollar expended on federal
works In Washington will be made
an argument against removing the
capital, and they are determined to
furnish no more arguments on that
side.
Ben. Butler said tonight that all
sensible men would govern themselves
as to holding or selling out property
here by the the test vote on the apprO-
priatiOn for the New war and State
Department.

DR.. Blackburn has been spending
the past two weeks MOSTLY in Atchison
county, Missouri. He reports business
very lively and money plenty in that
locality. There was never a better
crop of corn raised in the county, and
It is being all bought up at 5000 cts.
cash, and what is better is being fed
out on the spot to cattle and hogs.
One mar is handling $4,000 worth of
hogs. The farmers are receiving big
prices for corn fed to hogs and cattle,
and the money which has already
been paid in has relieved the farmer,
the mechanic, the manufacturer,
and the merchant, so business is ac-
tive. The farmers of that county
believing from present experience
that good rail roads are profitable in
stitutiOns, vote almost unanimously to
tax themselves to raise $500 0 in or
der 10 secure a more direct line east to
Quincy. It is fearful to contemplate
the heavy tax the farmers Of Nebras-
ka are paying for the want Of railway
communication, the amount of which
can only be realized by comparing the
business and the activity of the mar
ket in Atchison county where they
have q railroad with that of this side
where we are virtually blocked up
until spring. Farmers Of Nemaha,
in what light do you now look upon
those men who, If aided by your uni
ted voice two years since, would, ere
this, have given you an outlet for your
grain at living prices?
