A DECIDEDLY COOL REQUEST.

The coolest thing we have seen since
the commencement of the heated term is
tho resolution Of the negro convention at
Baltimore, invoking Congress to "drive
Chinese labor out of the country" The
negro must be allowed to "throw down
the shovel and the hoe" whenever he
pleascs, and go to attend conventions
and public meetings, and the poor white
employer shall not be allowed to secure
industrious laborers who will mind their
business and earn their wages
1t is, of course, direct attack on
"the rights" Of the colorcd race even to
complain of their lazincss and reckless
disregard Of their contracts. 1t is sign
of very unreconstructed frame ofmind
in any white man who wants laborer
to work instead of attending political
meetings. But it cannot be helped. If
the negro continues to pursue politics as
profession, and leave the cotton-row in
the grass, he may as well make up his
mind to it that the white man will get
Chinaman or some other man to take his
place and leave him to the uninterrupt-
ed enjoyment of political life. Even
Congress cannot avert this inevitable
fate Macon Messenger.

OBSTACLES TO RECONSTRUCTION.

4
There is no hatred engondered be-
tween individuals or social orSanIza-
tions more enduring than that arising
from the infection of injury, and 1t was
lust this hatred Mr.. ADAMS intended to
indicate as existing among the radicals
of his section when he said that they
adistrusteG7 and "feared9 the South.
This, after all, is the great difficulty in
national reconstruction this is the Sc
crct OF radical luminosity towards Presl-
dent JOHNSON for attempting, in good
faith. to restore the South as an integral
mower of tho nation. This is the motive
inducing the attempt to transfer the po-
litical power of the Southern people to
their former slaves, and it is the cause,
now that these States are constructed
upon tho radicals chosen basis, that dit
6cuItv. doubt and delay still attends the
nrocess of reconstruction. Indeed, rad
calism regards the reconstruction OF the
South upon anything like the old Con
stitutional basis as dangerous in the cx-
treme to those who fomented the war
and drove the South to madness and
ruin in the vindicaton of its rights
Hence the movement for an EMPIRE
In that only can they see safety.
We think if Now England had acted
magnanimously and in the manner in
icated by the Federal Generals at the
surrender, the South would have forgot
ten its wrongs and returned to the ma
tionaI fold the truest section to the ma
tional flag. As it is this section will
proyc true the nation-no doubt of that
but its sense of wrong has been aggra-
waited and its people who it has been
found impossible to crush will not fail to
remember the injuries Of cruel and
persistent enemy and there is no such
thing as moral Nemesis in the affairs
of man if those who have caused so much
needless suffering are not sooner or later
made to suffer. They may delay re

r,ATTERDAY REpUBL1cAN1sM.

1t is remarkable what changes have
taken place recently in the exercise Of
the elective franchise. Formerly the
utmost freedom prevailed subject only
to the influence of dcmagogucs in wheed-
ling, dcceiying or corrupting the peo-
pie. Now it is subjected to the authori-
ty Of coersion under pains and penalties.
Read, by way of illustration, the follow
ing dispatch from Washington:
Colonel Norman, a Conservative
Republican from Mississippi, had an in
tcrvicw with the President yesterday in
regard to political affairs in that State
The President was informed that the
only desire of the Conservative Repub-
licans was neutrality on the part of the
administration in the pending election.
The President replied that he wished
for the success of that party which would
in good faith carry out the Reconstruc-
ton acts, accept the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and give protection to life and
property in Mississippi. He wanted to
know whether the former enemies of the
government were acting in good faith in
their present professions Of loyalty, and
said this would soon be asccrtained in
part by the action of the Conservative
Republicans in Virginia. If they were
acting in good faith he should be glad to
have the influence and intelligence of
that class and of the South generally in
support of his administration.
The President inquired of Colonel
Moorman at what time the Conservative
Republicans would nominate their can
didate, and when informed that it would
probably be about the first Of September,
he said he would see what kind Of a
ticket they would put in the field, and
that his action would be influenced more
or less by subsequent events, and the
course of affairs in the South. lie adj
ded that he desired to see the payment
of the public debt secured, and the
integrity and honor Of the nation render
cd invioate and when this was accom-
plished he would be satisfied"

IMMENSE sOATTETaS IMMIGRATION
FROM TEE% oRTaWESTF

w. b. Donoho, Esq, writes the
Memphis Avalanche, of the 9th, from
Dixon, Illinois. lie has been travelling
in the Notwithstanding with the
peopIo-addressing them occasionally -
for the space of two months. He gives
the most encouraging reports of the
friendly disposition of the citizens of that
section, and says they will gather
eagerly by thousands for a friendly talk
upon the situation, and the wonderful
resources of the Southern country. He
closes his letter as follows:
''Open wide your gates and your
hearts and be prepared to extend the
most cordial greeting to thousands Of the
good and true men of Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio and New York, Tho will
be found this fall and winter seeking
permanent homes South. They will
bring brains as well as muscle; industry
and skill, money and votes--practically
opposed to 'carpet-bagger practices
II have talked to eighty thousand of
them, and mingled with them in
their counting-rooms, their mills
their factories, their shops, and upon
their farms, and .ct our Southern
friends be assured that the pulse of
the Northwest is in fullest sympathy
and brOthcrly affection with them, for
the fullest restoration of peace, and the
removal of every obstacle to our happi-
ness and prosperity. Labor will come
with the autumn frosts"

A POLITICAL PUZZLE.

The Northern Radicals continue to
be sorely perplexed over the Virginia
election. They are at loss to know
what to make of it, or what it really
means. Such mixture was never seen
before. View the creature on one side,
it is Republican, but a Democratic hoof
sticks out. On the other is Democratic,
but, 10 and behold the head is republi-
can. What can tho.political nondcscript
be is asked on all sides, and most of the
sages have delivered their opinions, all
qualified with an eff" and consequently
not satisfactory, even to themselves
There is no doubt of this fact, viz That
Republican principles triumphed, but
then the trouble is, the Democrats did
the roting! Universal Radicalism cries
out, who will lead us into the light of the
great mystery7
In this dilemma of our Republican
friends we may not be able to come sue
cessfuIly to the rescue, but we may at
least shed a small ray of light on the
question which may eventually magni-
fy into general illumination. And, in
vouchsaGng this service, we shall follow
the example of Mr.. Lincoln, and tell a
"littlc story" of which the situation
happens to remind us:
A distinguished Georgia politician,
still living, in the good old days Of Wing
gerry and Democracy, was famous for
the hard blows that he dealt the Demo
Gratis as public speaker in every re-
curing campaign. No man approach
ed him on the stump, and his reputation
for swaying the multitude while he was
speaking was unri 5alcd. All his elo-
quence, though was lost at the polls
Election after election was carried by
the Democrats until the 2asc looked
hopeless and all efforts vain. Standing
at street corner, one day directly at
ter one of these disastrous contests, and
discussing the result, over which he was
very sore, with party Of ncighbors,
he gravcly wound up as follows: DWELL,
boys, its no use to fight the internal
crew any longer, for no iniquity we may
prove upon them seems 20 do them any
harm. But there is one way in which
we can beat 'cm-d-n EN-, let us Jtnc
'cm"
1t is hardly necessary to alIudo to
the sequel. Our orator did join the
Democrats, and the result is history.

with considerable cclat The Salutatory

VaIcdictory by w. c. Scott.
The exercises Of the evening were in

The Court OF Criminal Appeals in England
Becently set aside verdict OF murder en- the
Following grounds: The only evidence against

ations of the wounded person, woman, who,
y the END Of the account Of the circum-
stances, said: ST have made the above state
gment with the fear Of death before me, and
with no hope 'at present OF my recovery"
The words s'at present. were interlined at the
deceaseds request, and the court held that
this fact showed that the declaration was not
made In the fear OF death, and therefore that
the statements could not be received in evil
dencs. The construction placed upon the
words under consideration would seem to be,
that though the wounded person believed her.
self to DO in highly critical state, yet she had
not given up all hopes OF recovery.

Among other classifcations, the world Of
men and women may be divided into those who
wear aprons and those who are tied to the
strings thereof, those who determine the
length OF the tether and those who are bound
to browse within it's circuit. those who hold the
women are fond OF power. but there is wide
difference in the way in which they use IT. To
men belong the grave political tyrannies ct
to women the email conventional laws framed
against individual liberty, by Mrs. Grundy
and society; men rule with rods OF iron and
drive with whips Of steel, women shorten
strings; men coerce, women forbid. In fact,
the difference is just that which lies between
action and negation, compulslon and restraint;
tho feminine fear OF excess. If mep debar wo-
men from oil entrance into their larger sphere,
women try to dwarf mems lives to their own
measure, and not a few hold themselves ag-
thing which is impossible to them should be
forbidden to others, and they MAINTAIN that to

an uneasy feeling when their mon are out ,cf

They fear on all sides--both bodily harm and
moral evil; and regard mems rougher sporte
