THAT THOUSAND DOLLAR DARKEY.

IaAL GAOU5AND DOLLAR DARKEY.
A number of Journals speak of Mr..
Reveb, the cololred Senator from Miss
issippi, as 'thousand dollar darkey."
In doing so they are guilty of gross
injustice to the gentleman IN question,
and of still grosser misrepresentation of
The history Of the times. If Mr.. Revels
were only "thousand dollar darkey," /
should not feel constrained to do more
than bow politely as pass him on the
Threshold Of the Senate Chamber, or
treat him with that degree of respectful
consideration which isdue to a member Of
the honorable body whereof he has been
chosen a member. There are those
so the poet tells us-to whom a prim-
rose by the rivers brink is a yellow
primrose, and no more; t. all such Mr..
Revcls is thousand dollar darkey. But
confess To a disposition to look on him
in far more exalted light. sec in
him three thousand million dollar dar-
kew; | hear in his voice the thunders
of Donclson and Shiloh and Vieksburg
and Gettysburg; and in his footsteps

rope. The election Of Revcs is The net
proceeds of all that war and bloodshed
He represents the assets and liabilities
Of the -four years struggle; he is "the
glorious fruits and victory" whereof we
have heard so much. If this be not so,
let the reader point out some other solu-
ton tothe problem. Why was the war
fought, if not to elect ReveIs Aud now
that it is over what is there to show for
its million graves and its three thousand
million of dollars, except the election of
Rcycls ? If there are other results to
the great struggle, name them. Al any
rate, let us not belittlc him to a thou
sand dollar darkey; but let us rather see
in him the great living representative of
the issue which it took so many precious
lives aud 50 much precious treasure to
bring to victorious conclusions; and so
regarding him, let es approach him with
uncovered heads, and bow before him as
to great Jove himseIf-Muck, Cor Cln-

ISasmuch as troops were deemed
necessary to n fair election in New
York, and not, In Tennessee, IL is
fair to ask which OF the two States
stands most in need Of reconstruc-
ton? Yet we hear Of reconstruction
in Tennessee, but not in New York.
Why this cowardly discrimination
The answer is ready. The forced
submission of the South to Radical
tyranny, leaves little room for doubt
that Tennessee will again quietly
nuccumb. But it was necessary to
feel the pulse Of the North prepara-
tory to the final blow at free govern
ment. The experiment, in Phila-
dclphia, though partial success,
was not conclusive enough to author
ize n comp.d' ctat. Then New York
had to be tested, and had that city
given way in the presence of Federal
bayonets, the usurpers would have
felt safe in taking their final step,
which is to declare Grant President
for life and Congress perpetual va
"ancies to be filled by itself. This
would have been done long ago, had
there been Radical of nerve and
talent enough to take advantage OF

also took fire, as well as the wharf
boat. The City of Evansville was
lying at w. q. Brown Il Co.'S wharf
boat, above the Florence Lee and Sam
Orr The Norman and Pine Bluff
were borne outward and upward by
the wind, and the lines of the city
of Evansville were east OF and
she drifted right into the burning

fortunately cleared, and was borne on

she burned TO the waters edge. She
arrived from Carlo Sunday night
with large cargo, including l2S
bales of cotton, 1915 cedar posts, and
q large amount of miscellaneous
freight, all OF which was on board.
The Norman was about half loaded
with hay, oats, bran, etc, at New

Bluff had IA large qauntity of freight
on board. All the boats were partly
insured.
Mrs. Medora Ward, q passenger or
