When the ratification Of the fifteenth
amendment was falsely proclaimed by
President Grant, the Baltimore Amer.
lean announced that that was the end Of
the negro question. The Anierican
know better, at the time il. made this
announcement. 1t knew that the dem
agcgueism which bears sway 10 its party,
did not mean to let the negro question
rest, as long as it could be turned to
POLITICAL account. When the negro was
set free, that was the end of the negro
question Having been given his lib.
erty, to shift for himself, many persons
who had acted with the abolition party,
thought that it ought to suificc-that
it was doing as much for the negro as
the most rigid justice demanded But,
no,.-that did not suit the radica! fac.
tion-they must go step further, and
establish Freednen's Bureau, not so
much to benefit the negro as themselves,
and the iue opportunity it afforded for
picking and stealing, as events have
proved Public murmurings against
the Bureau, caused them to change
their tactics and alter its name, and it
was called the bureau Of education--a
bureau to educate the children of the
negro at the public expense, while the
white man is left to educate his children
by the toll Of his own hands and the
sweat Of his own brow. Not satisfied to
let the negro question rest here, they
must pass laws for the District of
Columbia, aud for the Southern States,
forcing the negro into the hotels, thea
tres, and schools, and placing him on a
social as we'll as political equality with
the white race. Was this the end oil
the negro question? No--the 18th
amendment, or fraud, having been pro
claimed, they are now concocting
measures to Dragon the American PEG
pie by military force into submission t.
their will. VII de negro question stop
heres N0!--a million voices proclaim
Nol-and they have sworn upon thu
altar Of their common country that il
shall not stop here. An indignant ant
outraged public sentiment will SWEEP
such laws from the statute books, anG
put in every honest hand whip to lasl
the rascals who enacted them naked
round the world.

Laws passed at the last session Of the

Law. It shall be our endeavor never

quantity of general news with which
our subscribers have been furnished in

to every one should be au inducement to

The story that Collector Bailey is
quietly rusticating on Solicitor Jordan's
farm in Ohio is too probable to be i'm.
mediately discredited, aud If true, is
only another instance of the neglect of
the Government to follow up and pun
ish prominent offenders. Neither at
the time ofhis mysterious leave taking,
nor since, has the meddlesome pcculator
been disturbed by any attempt to arrest
his fight. He quietly slipped away
and was allowed to run with his plum.
der and il the Government does not
take pains to hunt him out of his buco.
lie RETREAT, or disproye the rumor that
he is within the reach of the arm of JUS
tice, it will add further criminality to
its already gross negligence. Such
cases as this of Collector Bailey are not
rare enough to prevent the demoraliza
tion Of the service.

The Developments of the iuvestiga-
of Gen. Towards affairs continue to be
damaging to him, and to look as if in
the end there might be some damage to
the Government. The amount Of Freed
mems Bureau funds thus far proved to
have been invested in the Congregational
Church, is thirty-three thousand dol
lars. The Freedman's Hospital, built
of the brick made under Gen. Howard
patent, is shown to have beena worthless
structure, the tumbling down of which
was predicted by the builders them
selves If the Government shall be
obliged to take possession ofthe church,
in discharge of Gen. Towards obliga.
iions, it may prove fortunate that that
structure was not built Of Howard
brick.

aud requested to know if he could not
furnish him with a mounted silver pla-
ted velvet casket, for day or two, at
