GRANT AHEAD OF LINCOLN.
From the NJ Y. Herald.

=
On Thursday last the National Executive Com
mttee of the Colored Men of the United States
waited upon the President to pay him their
respects and to present to him an address
signed by George G. Downing, of Rhode Island,
President (oySterS in every style); f. G. Barba-
does, of Massachusetts,; Sella Martin, of New
York, and others. The object of the address
was a share of the spOils to some of the black
folks in the North, in order to show that this
recognition by the administration of equal rights
to the black man is not to be limited to the
South, but is to be made practically to apply as
well to the North which is not a bad idea on the
score of consistency. In conclusion, the com
mittee thought it due to say to President Grant
that in behalf of our colored Americans he had
gone far beyond the lamented President Lincoln
for while under the necessities of the war he
made the nation ours by calling on us (the black
race) to its defense, you General Grant, under
the calm influence of peace, have given us to the
nation by lifting our race into the enjoyment of
its immunities."
General Grant kindly responded, promising
to give the subject careful consideration. But
the historical fact presented in reference to
Lincoln and Grant deserves passing remark.
Lincoln did adopt emancipation only as a war
measure, and did not believe in negro equality.
Andy johnson, after all, was fair representa-
tive of the ideas and policy of Lincoln in regard
to the blacks. General Grant, on the other hand,
supposed to be an Illinois Democrat on the
negro question till 1868, turns out in 1869 far
ahead of Lincoln and up to Wendell Phillips
himself in the practical application OF the doc.
trine of equal political rights to all citizens,
whites yelows, reds, and blacks. Thus even
on the question of colOred mems rights the glory
of Lincoln is completely eclipsed by the glory of
Grant. Downing, the oysterman, very neatly
puts the distinction, and he and all his people
ought to have an oyster jubilee, a chowder
feast or Il clam bake on the subject. General
Grant, of all the great men OF the time, is the
Joshua who has brought this peculiar people
into the Promised Land, while Lincoln was only
their Moses in delivering them from the bond
age of Egypt. Why not have, then, this colored
jubilee? for
1T must be now de kingdom am comm
And de year of iubiio.n

consccrated with the incense Of groans and the
lbaton of blood and the crowd of antediluvians
slowly made its way from the enclosure. ex-
pressing its entire satisfaction in taunts and
hoots.
The scenes which have attempted to describe
will be impressed upon the mind of every sensi-
tive reader without any moralizing on nv part
There are people outside of Delaware as well as
within its pent-up limits, who regard the pillory
and the whippng-post as praiseyorthy and
effective institutions. Ii is almost a thankless
task to attempt to touch their hearts, and it is
quite useless to appeal to those in whom the
instincts of our common humanity are so para
mount as to cause them to look upon these me-
dieva relics with disfavor. In Delaware. where
the subject has at last been brought home to
the attention of the people of all classes there
is no apathy in the discussion of the question
of redeeming the name of the State by
ceasing to make war upon the civilization of the
age and country. Those who are not for the
whipping-post are against it, and each side is as
earnest, as enthusiastic, and apparently as sim
cerc as the other. The friends of humanity,
however, believe that the present agitation will
lead to its abolition within a brief period The
poverty of the State, and its inability at present
to build and sustain penitentiary, are the prime
excuses made for continuance of the custom,
but all reasonable people are firmly grounded in
the belief that not until Delaware casts aside the
incubus of the middle ages will she take a
noticeable stride on the high road to prosperity

DULL TIMES,

From the NJ Y Tribune
When even Chicago pauses in her tremendous
strides to empire to swell the cry of dull times,
there must be something in it, We infer that
the summer just before us is to be one of mode
rate trade, and we rejoice in believing it. For
dull times in cities, with many houses to let,
argue that the bone and sinew of our country,
the producers of its wealth. are busy on their
farms, and resolved not to spend the proceeds of
their crops in luXuries and tripperes before they
are grown and harvested very sensible re-
solve, in our opinion. If One-half the popula-
tiOn OF our cities, finding times dull were drawn
or driven out from their straitened lodgings into
the broad, free country, and there employed in
tiling the soil, or in mechanical VocatOns sub
sidiary thereto, it would be better for us all.
Chcago's growth may be checked for the mo-
ment, but will be increased in the long run by
such jail-deliyery of her crowded stifed
steaming lower hundred thousand. They will
contribute to her trade and greatness on the
broad, rich prairies which invest her. us they
never can while they throng her streets and
rush by and over each other in their anxious
frantic, hopeless quest of something to do"
Yes, we hope to hear the summer just before
us characterized as one of the dullest ever
known. For dull times do not imply June
frostS, nor destructive tempests nor deadly cpl
denies, nor even national decay. Those are not
dull times wherein the needless ma jority are
drinking, and dancing, and dcing in reckless
extravaganza, intent only on present gratifca-
tion, and reckless of impending ruin. You
could not say that times were dull when half
our able-bodied men and boys were engaged in
burning houses tearing up railroads, ravagng
fields, and running us into debt at the rate Of
one hundred millions per month. Those WERE
on the whole, rather lively times; and so have
all times been when we were rushing on to
bankruptcy at 240 gait Dull times imply So
briefly, caution, frugalty, and hint that the
prodigal has taken the back track, or at least
ceased to 90 ahead on the down-hill grade He
may only have tried to check his fearful mo-
mentum, and this too late to avoid the crash;
but better even this than rushing recklessly on.
| So let us welcome dull times with cheerful
face, as sedate, tatherly uncle, who has come
he does not find them doing their level best, is
almost certain to leave them in a wholesome
mood of mind. The best medicines are not apt
| to be toothsome; yet sensible persons take them
| ternal disgust, in the confident hope of feeling
better by-and-by. So let us, if we must, greet
| the advent of dull times.

ture until the South becomes fdlly tranquillized
and has Settled into stability under the new
order Of things. We have work enough upon
our hands at present in organizing free labor in
the South. IL we succeed in this we can asst
miate Cuba; if We do not succeed in this, the
o session of Cuba would extend the area OF
confusion, and add to the difficulties and embar-
rassments of our domestic situation. We have
quite enough to do at present in retrieving our
finances and consolidating our shattered Union.
The Cuban question will come in due time, in
the regular order of progress: and neither we
nor the Cubans will lose anything by u reasona-
bic delay.
