A Few Words to COIOred Voters

There are perhaps from one to two
hundred voters in Jackson county-col.
ored men, who have never yet been
permitted to vote for a member of Con.
gress, You viii have that opportunit y
on Tuesday, October II, 1870, You
very well know what party gave you
the elective franchise, The De-
mocracy treated you as they did the
beasts of the field, and it was by a
constant and untiriug contest with these
enemies of your race, that the Republic
can party at last succeeded in securi no
to you your rights as citizens of your
native country. Read the speech OF
Mr. Leete, which we publish this week,
and see what he says about you, and
then vote for John T. Wilson, your
friend. And vote the entire Republi-
can ticket, from top to bottom.
But we know that you will vote right.
The only fear is that in some localities
you may be intimidated, We advise
you to go to the polls early and vote,
and then go home. Do not stop to ar

advantage in voting early is, that the

DIR. LighthiH, No. 1SO Lexington avenue, N Y:
DEAR SIR:-Learning of your intention to
visit Cincinnati this summer, would saggest
to you to stop in our town for few days on your

deserved celebrity, and Sho would gladly avail
themselves of the benefits of your alkill and exr
tensive experience. -
The cure which you effected in my own case
while in Cincinnati, in 1865, is lasting evidence
of your successful practice and subsequent ex-
perience enables me to reiterate all 1 have stated

THE SALE CADETSEEIPs.

A few days since there appeared in the
New York Times an advertisement Of
fering a cadetship at West Point for sale.
In order to understand this we will state
that the cadets are appointed by the Pres
ident from the various Congressional dis
tricts and from the States at large upon
the recommendation of the members from
the respective districts and of the Sena-
tors for the States st large. 1t has been
reported for somv time past that there was
a brisk trade going on in the sale of these
Confessional recommendations which
procured the Presidential appointment.
Hence upon the arrival in Washington
of the Times containing the advertise
mont referred to above, there was consid-
cradle CONSERVATION among some and in
dignation among others. Several mem
bers of the House of Representatives an
nounced that they knew of such abuses
as that which was proposed to be perpe-
trated through the advertisement in the
Times. A resolution was adopted look
ing to an inquiry into the matter. "NIack"
asks:
But why "investicaten the sale of West
Point cadetships, and say nothing about
the sale of Cabinet offices and collector
ships and assessorships-ap practice carried
on under the very eyes of the peO-
pie by the present Administration. 1t
is wrong TO sell cadetship, Of course, but
why expect the stream to be pure when
the fountain is corrupt Why blame a
Congressman for selling the little influence
he has, and give the President the carte
blanche of silence to run gift enter
prise, and receive in return for the
patronage of his office any thing
and every thing-dogs alone ex-
cepted-from town lots to tooth
picks9 If Grants career as the Great
American Takist is to be approved, why
not go a step farther and initiate the ex-
ample of the declining empire of Rome,
which was put up at auction and sold to
Didius Julianus for few million dollars?
l don't know how much the remnants
of the good old Republic of America
would bring. They might, however, be
sold in lots to suit purchasers. But any
process would be better than the great
of the sale now enjoyed by
Grant. People may smile cOntemptuously
at this idea-but, men and brethren, We
are drifting toward the devil faster than
any nation of ancient or modern times
ever drifted.

4 letter from Washington correspond
ent says a little incident occurred there a
few night ago, which goes to show that
the Attorney-General does not bear his re-
lection for the Supreme Bench by the
Senate with very good grace. At the last
Friday evening reception of one of his
colleagues in the Cabinet, Mr.. Hoar met
Senator Sawyer, carpet Dagger, of South
Carolina, who voted against him, when
he made the remark very abruptly
''Well, Senator, Mass achusetts and South
Carolina are resuming their old relations
towards each other Mr.. Sawyer saw
at once that Mr.. Hoar had reference to
his vote against the confirmation, and TO
the treatment of Mr.. Hoar's father years
ago by a South Carolina mob. Con-
sidering that they both belonged to the
State, were fellow students, and that
friendly relations had always existed be-
tween them, Mr.. Sawyer was very much
surprised at the positive piece of rudeness
on the part of MIR Hoar, although he
very wisely and prudently ventured on
no reply. He, however, called on the
Attorney General next morning, and pO-
litely informed him that he thought his
remarks on the evening before were very
unnecessary and very severe. Mr. Hoar
replied, in.his characteristic style, that he
did not think they were any more severe
than his OR. Swayne') action towards
him in the Senate.

IS SHOO. ELY.,,

The meek and lowIy white. coated phi
losopher of the New York Tribune has
had his equanimity disturbed by what
he is pleased to term "that irrepres-
sible fly" Hear him rave:
1t has attained the dignity of a public
nuisance. 1t worries us at every street
corner. All the ragged urchins in the city
are whistling, singing, and shouting
"Shoo, Fly " Its awful caricature
stares us in the face everywhere like a
nightmare in the daytime. In card size it
is vended at every picture stand, in life
size it is posted on every available adver-
Using space, and, like other sensations of
the day, it won't stay in its own sphere,
which in all conscience is extensive
enough. 1t hasn't any conscience, and
ruthlessly invades all parts of the
social fabric. 1t has entered the
furnishing stores, and furnishes its
detestable name to all manner of
goods. We have the "Shoo fly hat, the
''ShOO fly cravat," the "Shoo fly shirt, !"
the "ShoO fly boots" backing, cuffs,
collars, sleeve-buttons, suspenders, and
what next the Lord only knows. We
venture humbly to suspect, however, that
the next adaptation win be as a Sunday
school song, psalm tune, or church volun-
tary, with brilliant variations by the Or
ganist on the rOC hUn1dnn stop. And
why not, when distinguished divine
quotes it from the pulpit? It is worse
than the smallpox and bad as the cholera,
and catches more readily than either. 1t
is the ''fraud" of the period, and satire
upon itself. "Shoo, fly, don't bodder
me-" Exactly so; why doesn't it ''shoo, -
and stop bothering us 2 But with malice
prepense and afOrethOught, this awful
fly only buzzes the louder, and the
more we hear don't bodder me- the
more does it bother us.
We suggest to Mr.. Greeley that he turn
to Tristan Shandy, take a lesson from
Uncle Toby, catch the vexatious fly ten
derby by the wings, gently raise the win
dow of his sanctun and say go, poor
fly, there is room enough in this world
for me and thee"

UNIVERSAL AUNESTy.

Greeley still cries out for universal am
nesty. He has been all along far ahead OF
the whippers-in of his party. He thinks
he secs the consummation so devoutly
wished for not far ahead. lie proclaims
We rejoice to see that universal am
nesty is not destined to lag behind. The
delegations from Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas enter Congress virtually, if not
literally instructed TO urge its adoption.
West Virginia, Missouri and Kansas are
moving toward tim their respective Legis-
latuTes. If it shall be needed there will
be great public meetings held to promote
it in every part of the country. But
We trust no pOpulur agitation will be re-
quired. Congress must be aware of the
strong and growing sentiment which
everywhere calls for the removal of all
political disabilities and prescriptions
founded on our late couvulsiOn, and will
respond to the call. Let us celebrate the
next anniversary for our National indie
pcndCnce a reunited and completely free
pcople-nO master, and no slavc-no de-
graded caste, and no DISTINGUISHED and
suilnn minority whose rights have been
forfeited for rebellion. Let US hold out
the hand of reconciliation and entTeat
those who were misled into rebellion to
share with us in full measure the rights
vinJicatcd in our Union triumph, not for
d party or class, but for our country and
for al, mankind.

THE Radicals don't want to admit
Revels, the negro Senator from Missis,
sippi. The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial writes Feb.
7, as follows:
'Reyels, the colored Mississippi Senator,
was before the Judiciary Committee for a
long time to-day, talking over affairs in
that State. The carpet-bag Senators are
pretty generally opposed to admitting Re
wells, but appear not to have the courage
to come out openly against him, but are
trying to persuade the Democrats to raise
objections. Vickers, of Maryland, SAYS
he will object, but the other Democrats are
disposed to keep aloof Stewart says Re-
vels is much better representative of the
Southern people than half the carpet-bag-
gers who are now occupying seats. Nj.
Trumbull says there is no valid objection
to him, and that bill will be reported as
soon as some other necessary information
is obtained.

THE HISTORY WE ARE MAKING.

THE HISTORY WE ARE RTAKINGs
The Boston Advertiser closes q con-
gratulatory editorial on the ratification of
the fifteenth amendment with the follow
ing paragraph
Thus one after another of the old
questions is passing away, and there will
soon be nothing left of them but tt G
history, and the worlds wonder at the
absorbing part they played in their day
and generation"
If it is true that history is made for the
warning as well as the edifcation of man
kind, it is possible that our contribution
to the annals Of the world will do some
thing more than excite the "wonder" of
posterity in the sense which the AdUer-
tiSer seeks to convey. Wonder there will
be, doubtless, but not the wonder which
gives birth to admiration or applause.
Looking back over the decade just ended,
says the St, Louis Republican, we see
that tthe old questions have indeed been
settled, for the most part, in manner
which has done more harm to the cause
of free government than though they
had remained unadjusted for half GEN.
tury. In destroying slavery and Sc
cession we have violated the most
sacred principles of the Constitution,
overturned those barriers which
once sheltered the people from the ad-
vances of interruptions authority, and
ignored those precedents which wisdom
and patriotism had established for our
guidance. We have plucked up two
weeds that grew in the political garden
and planted in their stead an. hundred
others Infinitely more dangerous and
deadly. The national structure was de-
hcient, perhaps, IN some particulars, and
because it was so we have torn it down.
uprooted the very foundations of the edi
fee, and now, surrounded by ruins, are
powerless to rebuild. The world NAV
wonder" but it wonders at our supreme
folly, our fanatical madness. The action
of the Legislature of Georgia, which the
advertiser declares completes the ratifca-
ton of the fifteenth amendment, is a per-
feet and characteristic illustration of the
kind of history we are making, and how
we have made it. To secure that action
on the part of Georgia, we have broken
our solemn pledges, repudiated our
plighted word, stripped a sovereign State
of every right, and consigned her to the
tender mercies of military power.

GEORGIA AFFAIRS.


The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes, Feb. z, as fol-
lows:
'gTbe papers showing what Georgia has
done since the passage of the last recon-
struction act were presented in both
Houses of Congress to-day, and referred
for examination. There are about twenty
politicians here from that State. Gov
Bullock is on hand, with several of his
friends, and they ask for immediate ad-
mission. Capt. Bryant and his friends
protest, and say Bullock has violated the
law. and Congress ought to deal further
in the matter. Both of the Sen
ators elect are looking around to see
what their chances are for getting their
seats. Some of the Bullock men have
been to the President, and he of course
tells them that he shall stand by what
Gen. Terry has done. The scheme of the
Bullock party is to elect new Senators
next week, and their men are Mr.. Rice, q
banker at Atlanta, and Mr.. Blodgett, Post
master of Augusta. The Senate has not
yet declared the election of Messrs. Hill
and Miller invalid, and some members
think they viii be admitted this week. "
The Washington Repu6licd'l (Radical)
says in its issue of Feb. s.: ID
'Bullock had an interview with the
President yesterday, and was assured by
the latter that he thoroughly coneurred In
the views of the former, and those who
act with him in relation to affairs in
Georgia. In the Presidents opinion the
| wholesale exclusion of the members OF
the Legislature vitiated all proceedings,
| and he considers affairs now as q COM
mencement de 2OUo. The Legislature
will shortly elect Senators, and then the
State viii be admitted, properly recon
structed, with full approval of the Presi-
dent and Congress. s."
The Washington Chronicle, one OF
Forney's ''two papers, both daily, says
seWhen Georgia is restored, the Legisla-
ture will elect Senators of undoubted Re-
publicanism."
1t is fact well known to those IN the
secret of this effort to reconstruct recon
structed Georgia, that one of the main OBJ
jects was to secure place in the United
States Senate for Foster Blodgett. That
place has to be provided for him, and no
reconstruction of the State will be regar-
ded by the Reconstruction Committee
as complete unless this part of the pro
gramme is carried out.
The Atlanta Constitution of the 9th
inst. learns that Bullock and his party
had satisfied Grant that it was right to set
aside the election of Messrs Hill and
Miller, and that paper adds:
$50 confident are the revolutionists of
success, that rumors were current yester-
day afternoon that Gov. Bullock had tele-
graphed that all was well; that there
would be an election for State House
officers as well as Senators; Blodgett and
Alderman are to be the Senators; that the
Office of Surveyor General of the State
must be re-established and negro elected
to fill it."
A day or two will deyelope the pro-
gramme as fixed up at Washington.

GRANT VIII surprise his Radical friends
occasionally. The Washington CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says: "Strong's nomination was not IN
expected, but that Of Bradley was a great
surprise. The same old question that was
asked when Borie and Robson were
brought out, was repeated to-day. Who
is this man Bradley! 1t appears Bradley
is a resident of Newark, New Jersey,
fifty-two years old, a graduate of Rutgers
College, a lawyer Of promise in his native
State, and a good Republican. He has
never held public office, though he ran for
Congress once and was defeated. No
one expects that he will be confirmed.
The Southern Senators say that they must
have man for the position who is a resi-
dent of the circuit, and that the Senators
who secured Hoar's rejection viii defeat
Mr.. Bradley"
