WE tell the negroes faithfully what
Wendell Phillips does. We do not
pretend to be their friend otherwise
than to do what is the duty Of every
msn-just what is just and right by
them. We do not go to them with
smiles and fair pretenses to gettheir
votes. We don't want their votes.
What we do want is that they should
vote for their own interests; and we
tell them, and will prove it too, that
what will be for the interest of other
men will be for their interest.
Don't we all want men in Office that
viii do the right thing by US, and
give Us a fair chance if we get into
trouble? Do any men Of sense, black
or white, want judges who seek to
make a reputation by putting them in
the penitentiary and giving them
but half a chance for their lives; or
any of the sort the richest men can
buy to do injustice TO the pRePows
lawsuits for money?

grow rich with a celebrity beyond all
precedent, and speedily command
with its capital the very best re-
sources of the arts. 1t will begin by
manufacturing such goods as require
least skill and are most expensive to
transport, and proceed swiftly to the
production of the finer fabrics. But
when we can buy French goods at half
price with cotton at two prices, we shall
be prosperous enough and happy
enough, manufactures OF nc manu-
features, tariffs or no tariffs. We r
rather suspicious of sophistries which
compel US to pay forty dollars for a
coat when ten would buy the same
thing, if there was no dog in the
Manager.
We may not go again under the
same lead which was our wont ante
rior to the war. But we shall not the
less look after our interests as a sensi-
BILE people; even hoping to convince
our new Ethiopian peers by the grace
of New England that it is better to
have a box of matches or a jewsharp
at five cents than it is to pay ten for
it. Abolish the tariff, and for every
dollar we make now by our labor we
shall then make two. Mr.. Greedy
has not told us how it is that prOtec-
ton which will enable New England
to compete with Old England is
to aid us of the South in build
ing the manufactures he says we
so much need. He will not
attempt that. Or if he does, he will
show that the tariff the South needs,
if any, is a tariff for its own protec-
ton alone, just as the thirteen States
once needed a tariff for theirs. We
believe the Times is right in counting
the South as hostile to the tariff. If
the people of these States are capable
If seeing their own interests, it is not
likely that even control through the
negro will continue long, so far as this
matter at least is concerned. A white
man may resist the argument to the
pOcket-but Cufee never!

A PORTION of the Northern press,
in the interest of the telegraph mon.
OpOlies, is publishing the complaints
the English people Sare making in
consequence of delsas in their dis
patches. They allow nothing for the
fact that the Government has but
lately taken the enterprise in hand
and has had insufficient time to pro-
vide as fully as is necessary the means
to success. They object that the Gov
eminent has not a sufficiency of lines,
Indifferent operators, etc., and even
insist that these things are irremedia-
BILE. But in Belgium, and we believe
in some other parts of the
Continent, the system of cheap
postal telegraphing under gov
erement control, has proved
quite as much a success as cheap let
ter postage, and has proved a source
of income. The advantage to the pub
lie in reduction of price is a matter of
and it is therefore to be
hoped that all objections and difficult
ties may be overcome.

IF to have been always an abo-
litiOnisG, fpm the day Of the deluge
down to this hour, and to have La
bored without rest for a whole life for
negro emancipation, is to be the test
of friendship for the negro race, then
certainly Wendell Phillips, above all
others, deserves the credit of fidelity
to its interests. He has labored with
Q persistence, talents, power and in
fuence second TO no man, He has
never faltered. But he has demon
strated the sincerity of his cOnvic-
tiOns, and is entitled, if any one, to be
regarded by the negro as a true leader
and a saint. His advice to them is as
follows:
If / had any legacy to leave the race I
have labOred for all my life, il would be
For the next twenty years to go to
the ballOt-bOx and vote, not as a Repub-
lican, Or as a Democrat, nor as anything
else except a negro.
He knows that the pretense of
friendship for the negro by that class
of white men who are called Radicals
is all to get the negro votes, and to
get offices and money by them, and
nothing else. And he honestly tells
them so, and to go and vote the best
way they can to take car of them
That is right. If the leaders
among the negroes have any sense,
they will tell the others the same
hing Wendell Phillips does. Don't
they know that snakes charm their
victims, and that Radicals who come
with smiling faces want the offices

THE ORPHANS HOME AND THE
GIRLS REFORMATGRV.


( The Toledo Commercial has a severe
article upon the legislation of last winter,
which takes away a great part of the adj
| vantages of the Girls Reform School at
White Sulphur, and appropriates them
to the use of the Soldiers Orphans
Home. The editor of the Commercial
Mr.. Clark NNaggoner, is one of the Trust
ees of the Reform School, and he has
made its wants a matter of special study.
He comments upon the law making the
transfer as follows:
It certainly cannot be necessary for US
to stop here to discuss the gross and pal
pable inconsistency of the scheme for
placing two such institutions in the lux
Imposition established by this most re-
markable law. One, which for the sue
cess of its peculiarly delicate work, de-
mands the most complete isolation, is to
be placed side by side with another
which equally demands the presence, /
not of subjects of vice and unsubdued
passion, but of all the aids of sound /
public sentiment and institutions of re- /
hgion and morality. The idea of such |
is too mOnstrous to have sprung i
from love to either institution, but can 1
only be accounted for in some other way. !
There are those who have well defined |
theories on this point. which tits not nee
essary to name, but they do not involve |
the motives of the greater portion of the /
members by whose votes the wrong has /
been given effect, and by which it would /
at once be promptly righted. were it /
practicable.

THE RICHMOND DISASTER.
Hlstory Of the Capitol building.

The appalling disaster which has
/ shrOuded Richmond in gloom, and sent
thrill of pain throughout the country
lends vivid momentary interest to all
that is connected with the occurrence
and the scene.
The State House, or, asst is called the
Capitol of Virginia, is an old building,
standing on the highest point of ground
in the city, in the centre of a park of
thirteen acres, known as the Capitol
Square. The grounds were some years
ago laid out with taste by hoffman, of
Philadelphia, and are adorned with some
of the best statuary in America. The
great monument to Washington, design
ed by Crawford, surmounted by his
colossal equestrian statue of the Peter
Patrie, and fanked by heroic statues of
Patrick Henry, Marshall, Jefferson, and
other Virginia worthless, occupies a posi-
ton but a short distance from the Capt.
tol building, and in another part of the
grounds there is a marble statute of
Henry Clay from the chisel of Hart,
erected by the women of Virginia.
The Capitol was built Immediately at
the close of the Revolution. The model
chosen for it was the well-<nown Maison
Carree at Nismes, a miniature pattern
4
Mr. Jefferson, but the architect made
many deviations from the model, where
by the effect of the building was greatly
impaired. 1t was always an ugly, in
convenient and ill-arranged structure,
though from a distance it has an impos-
ing appearance, and even looks ike a
Parthenon.
Its historical associations are of the
most interesting kind. In the basement
story, where the Chancery Court was
held in the old time, Henry Clay begun
life as a deputy clerk under Chancellor
Wythe, the George Wythe of the Dec
laration of independence. In its halls
sat the memorable Constitutional Con-
vention of I82o-3o, which numbered
among its members John Randolph, John
Marshall, James Madison, James
Monroe, and many others scarcely less
iIlustrious. Twenty-three years before,
the trial of Aaron Burr for treason had
been conducted there. From the south
ern portico of the building it was that
Daniel Webster delivered, in October,
I84o, standing beneath an October sun,
the political speech which has been
thought one of his finest popular expOsi-
tions of the Constitution.

THE WHITE SULPHUR rUDDLE
Hovv came About.

The Editor of the TSshs1u Reserye
CZyontcls, Hon. William Ritezell, is a
Republican member of the present Leg
islature. In last weeks CH,onicle he
publishes the appended editorial article
giving some of the inside history of the
White Sulphur project. Mr. RitezeIl.
affirming whereof he has personal
knowledge, says:
The act of the legislature interfering
with the Girls Reform School, virtually
ousting it from its favorable location at
White Sulphur Springs, was. in the esti-
nation of a number of the members of
both Houses, little short of an outrage on
a beneficent charitable enterprise.
Bf1Gy the i11k1IgUes Of lobbyists, the de-
fection of few Republicans and the al
most unanimous purpose of the Demo
Gratis, the establishment of Soldiers
Orphans Home would have failed, if
