Loss BY THE FREsHEr.-We regret
to learn that Gen. E. B. G. Cash, met
with t. serious loss by The late freshct,
in the drowning of eyht fine blooded
colts.
The General has a great fancy for 6Le
horses and other stock, and owned son e
of the best in the country. They were
pasturing in the low grounds ard becau e
hemmcd in by high water.
When they were found, they were
standing in water up to their uccks.-
Gen. Cash had gone out with others in
two boats to fn1 them, aud undertook
to lead mare behind the buat thinking
the others would follow. The mare final
iy sank the boat the Grneral was in, and
all hands w''re compelled to swim for
the nearest trees, where wet, cold and
exhausted, they were found by the occu.
pants o! the other boat, just in time to save
their lives. 1t was really narrow es-
cape from death
A negro came very near dying in the
course Of the adventure and it is believed
that nothing but the Generals self sac.
riicing efforts in his behalf preserved
his life. While in a tree, scarcely able
to hold on, tbs negro was TO be cared
for, and there was nothing for him to
stand upon except to put his foot upon

A Washington dispatch of Friday TO
the Baltimore Snn gays: "Gen. Grants
purpose with re2ard to his Cabinet has
at last been divulged. 1t is reported
to day, and upon thc'very best authority,
that the first intimation any one will re-
ceivc with regard to his appointments
will be in the official communication to
the Senate on March 5th. If his ar-
pointecs are confirmed their names will
be announced; If they are rejected, he
will request that no announcement be
made. The scores of members who are
anxious for Cabinet appointments are
not at all pleased with the well-under-
stood purpose Of the President in this
respect" .' : AS -

RADIcALIsM LOSING GROUND
From some sort Of Influence not clearly
understood at the South-perhaps the
scenting of danger from afar to their
own liberties, perhaps from some quiet
intimation frnm General Grant, who is
about to take control of the Executive
power and palronage-thcre has, of hate
been very perceptible abatement OF
the radical sentiment of that portion Of
the press at the North. A number of
journals, hitherto ready at all times to
advocate any amount Of outrage upon
the Southern States and people, have
made a tack toward conservatism, and
protest against many Of the radical
measures now pending in Congress.

spot. This was doing pretty we'll in an
informal meeting Of only thirty. As an
instance of the energy with which this
denomination carries on its abors, the
Missionary Society under whose auspi-
ccs this half million is to be expended
has been in operation less than three
years, and has already fourteen flourish
ing mission schools in New York city
with 5000 registered pupils aud mem
bershp of | 200 converts, and has raised
by voluntarily subscription 5000.
The object Of this Society, which has
met with such unparalleled success, is
to carry free gospel to every soul in the
great city of New York.
The Free Methodist Church, which
has been in existence only eight yaars.
is an offshoot from the Methodist Eps.
copal Church, on the ground that that
church has diverged tro widely from its
original purity and simplicity. They
forbid instrumental music, maintaining
that it is necessary part of the worship
for the congregation to dn the singing.
They have lay represen alton. and en-
courage rather tha repreal drmonstra-
tions of religious feeling, maintaining
that the Spirits influence on mixed
multitude must produce a"great visi-
bic commotion." They are strongly op.
posed to all pic-nics, Christmas trees,
festivals, lotteries, fairs, and donation
parties, and especially to the rental OF
sale of pews in the house of God. They
advocate earnestly the necessity of hav.
ing absolutely free churches. They own
now, in different parts of the country,
forty-nine churches, and numbers 5000
members. They seem to occupy the
same position toward the Methodist
Episcopal Church that that Church did
toward the Episcopal Church on leaving
it.-Haryord Times.

GEN. CHANT AND THE REPUBLICAN
PARrY.-The New York Tmrs thiuks
shat "mere party considerations of any
kind wi | enter much less into General
Grants administration than many sup
pose," and while giving several reasons
to show that he will not, as predicted
by many Democrats, turn his back upon
the Republican party, it adds the fol-
lowing for the consideration OF Repub-
leans:
There are some leading facts which it
may be well for those who are so anxious
concerning General Grants party rela'
tons and probable action to bear in
mind. The Republicans, for example,
who insist that he ought to be, in the
strict sense of the word. party Prcsi-
dcnt-taking the advice of the leaders
of the Republican party as his sufficient
guide and rule of action, because he was
nominated and elected by that party,
will do we'll to remember:
l. That General Grant never was
member of the Republican party until
after the war.
9. That he was nominated at Chicago,
not mainly because he was Republican
but because he had more of the conf
dence of the people than any other alan
in the country.
8. That the canvass proved that he
was stronger with the country than the
party, and received great many votes
and great moral support from outside
the party limits.
4. That his hold on the confidence of
the country is quite as strong to-day az
it ever was, and is not likely to be for
feited o. lessened by any rash or rcck-
less action on his part.
These considerations combine to give
General Grant a degree of independ-
ence, in his official action, which few
of his predecessors have ever had. The
people do not expect or desire him to
be a mere party President. His assent
to the leading principles and measures
Of the Republican party has been giver
in the clearcst and most explicit manner,
and no one doubts that they will form
the basis Of his Administration. But
this fact gives no warrant for the ex-
pectation that he will, in all things, con-

The CoLoRED RAcE.-The following
suggestive article is copied from the New
Orleaus Times. 1t is worthy OF consider
tion:
"Hcwers of wood and drawers of wa
ter, it would appear, they must ever be. ,
Whether the uegro us race is TO have
his condirion improved yp-blic cduca-
and tie ex' rcise IF tha franchise, is yet
u problem for the retormers OF the Uni-
ted States to work out for themselves.
The disciples Of Wilb,rfurc", in Eng
land, one year ago, abandoned the at
tempt as hopeless, after over thirty years
trial in Janacia aud other West India
Islands. Whether different and more
fortunate result is to be attained in this
country, remains to be seen, and We Of
the South are disposed to lend our earn
est and sincere aid in aft, riding opportu-
nifty for fair trial. Before the war as
general thing, all negroes appeared
happy comfortably clad and industrious.
We rarely found them begging OF en-
gagged iu menial pursuits. But few Of
poverty's resources to keep life in the
body were visible in New .rleans, thus
giving to stranger an idea of wealth, cx-
lioual in our favor over every other c"m-
munity. All this is changed now. The
dilapidated negro boot. black meets US
everywhere. Gaunt, hungry saw-bucks
wander through every street. 'Famish-
ed beggars, with scarcely sufficient cloth
ing to wad Il gun, haunt the alleys, and
enbodiments Of grimmy filth, in the
shape Ut black chiiioniers, rake ,he ohal
and sweepinss of'he stores and dwell
iugs. That there is a companion and
brighter picture, we admit; but of the
two opposing tendencies, which will win,
is the problem now before US. England
has already tacitly acknowledged her
failure to elevate the negro race to the
Caucasian standard. Liberia has ad.
mitted the same. The history of Hayti
is one of pitiful rctrogrsssion, and even
the Africa of to-day, when compared
with the time when Cartilage, Alexan-
dria and Numantia fourishcd, forces
upon us the same dispiritiug conclusion.
If 5000 years of equal opportunity with
the Caucasian race has failed to dcveI.
ope the negro into a higher type of hu-
mauity, We must not expect much from
one paltry generation. Far be it from
us to deny them another opportunity ;
the whole tendency Of public opinion in
the South is to the contrary; but it is
only fairaud right that they should
carve their way upward by their own
merits, and win position by their own
des, rts. Legal enactments cannot change
na,u a! Jaws, while peace, quiet and har-
mony may level many rough hill, now
reared in the path of their progress.

WHAT IS EXPECTED The Philos-
ophcr of the Tribune is pointing out to
tile President elect the kind Of company
he is expected to keep lie says:
1--WE venture to say that while Gen.
Grant probably selects the company
that best suits his taste, both among
white men and black, he will not de-
cline to mincic in a public entertain
mcnt with men whose votes assisted in
his election. Ifa black man was good
enough to vote for the Republican par
ty in North Carolina, he is good enough
to attend an inauguration ball il Wash
iugtou."
And If he is good enough for all that,
why not go"d enough to frequent
Grecley's mansion, and conduct the Ia.
dies thereof to public entertainments !!
