lies in this While johnson retained in Of
flee thieves and rascals, who plundered the
Government, Grant has endeavored to APP
point no such men, and has, uniformly,
turned them out when he found them dis

without increasing taxation, we have in
creased the revenue this year S26 200, 900,
we have at the same time decreased the
expenses of the Government nearly $780,

mislead the unsuspecting reader by such
shallow tricks as we have exposed.
As to changing the debt in the interest
of bondholders from currency bearing to
coin bearing debt, it is too ridiculous to
answer. The Government, like individu-

demands of parties having money to loan.

think over this question, talk it over with
his neighbor, and then organize and work
for it at the ballot-box, such sentiments as
were uttered in the late Constitutional
Convention at Nashville will soon cease to
be popular, and, therefore, never again
made public. Just so long us the working

evil, and If they will but make the effort, we
promise them every assistance we can give
them. The CHRONICLE favors free schools,

in Nashville last winter are forced to yield
the right they have so long withheld.

THE RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.

Not having a special friend on the Com
mittee, we were obliged to obtain sum-
mary of the report by telegraph, which we
publish elsewhere, to which we invite the
especial attention of our readers. The late
hour at which the dispatch reached us pre-
vents us from saying more at present than
that the report shows the most startling
frauds, and we have only to demand, ON
behalf of the honest people of the State,
that the authorities take prompt and sum-
mary means to identify themselves for past
losses and protect themselves from any
more in the future

xu xLuxrse cARrEr-BAeeERs,

A few days ago we published an extract
from a letter written TO the New York
Tribune, by Geo. u. Wood, Of the Boston
Advertiser, from Charleston, South Caro-
lima, in which Mr.. Wood gave the sub
stance of an interview with Charleston
editor, whose summary method of dispos-
ing of Carpet-Baggers, was to Ku Klux
them and thus extinguish them. The
Wing copies our statement, and wants to
think the editor would inaugurate such a
system of brutal outrages.
We have only to say in reply, that Mr..
Wood is journalist of high standing and
great ability in the city of Boston, and his
letters to the Tribune have attracted great
attention. The Charleston Republican
takes up the extract in question, and COM
ments upon it as though it knew very
well the editor to whom Mr.. Wood refer
red Under such circumstances, we shall
certainly believe it to be true until We see
it at least contradicted by some one au-
thorized to speak for the editor interview
ed. We assure the Wing, furthermore,
that III We SNSA SSc ouCh u tVAtiaNiOlAoh W {
will give the party accused the benefit OF
it. We do not publish paper upon the
theory of the Press and Herald, that it is
weak and unmanly to make retractions or
explanations. Whenever we do injustice
to any man, or men, we will be prompt to
make reparation when we are convinced
of our error
The policy advocated by the Charleston
editor is barbarous, we admit, but we know
there are many such fools living, and we
are not prepared to say that the editor in
question is not one of them. Political
leaders, newspaper editors and private
citizens often say and do foolish things,
and say in the heat of passion what they,
on reflection, are satisfied was impolitic.

JUSTICE TO THE coLoREp RACE.

We do not know that history records
anything more wonderful than the man.
ner in which the colored race have sustain
ed their independence, and improved their
condition, since they were thrown, mex
perienced and almost helpless, upon their
own resources by the fortunes of the war.
All predictions concerning their extermi-
nation through starvation and want of
ability to care for themselves, eagerly pro-
claimed by their enemies, have proved
false and unjust. We do not know how
any one could be so embittered against
them rs to heartlessly meet all their praise
worthy and splendid triumphs over the
many obstacles placed in their way, by
tiinging. into their faces such 1abored,
uncharitable, unjust article as appeared in
yesterday mornings Wing.
We have but to look at the progress made
by the colored people in. our own midst,
within the past five years, as satisfactory
answer and full refutation of the unfound-
ed charge that, "though thousands of years
have elapsed, he the colored mani has
made no progress, at least but little in real
development and permanent advance.
rnent." The quiet, efficient and well filled
school rooms for coloed children, the pros
porous churches, the industry, sobriety
and general bearing of much the largest
portion of our colored people, are the best
answers that can be given to such articles
as the one to which we refer.
awe believe that in proportion to The
number of children in our midst, the col
ored schools are as well attended as cur
white schools. We believe that unless
some relief is speedily offered to the p6or
white children of our city, there soon will
be more whites unable to read than blacks.
These are unpleasant truths, but we be-
lieve them to be so, and they speak vol
unes for the colored people. Though la
boring under all the disadvantages heaped
upon them by the curse of all ages-slaye-
ry-though poor and surrounded by many
such unkind spirits as endorse the Whio's
article, they still appreciate fully the bles-
sings of education, and struggle npbly to
secure it fos their children. The Wild
need not resort TO. such an apparently
sovef task as reviewing the history
of " the ages" to prove the charges
made; for unless it closes its eyes to what
is daily occurring in our own midst il
must be convinced of its error. We need
make no labored defense to such unkind
assaults for the splendid record made by
hscolored people under the trying cir
'cumstances surrounding them since the
war, is the best reply we can give We
have only t6say to our colored friends, go
ON in the good work, and follow the course
you have evidently marked out. Educate
yeuy children. Teach them to be honest
and industrious, and we will guarantee
that in good time you viii force even

DECORATION DAY.

We give in this issue of the CHRONICLE
as full and perfect an account of yesterday s
decoration services as we can, feeling that
il is but just and due to our readers who
could not attend. The services were in
every respect appropriate to the occasion,
and reflect great credit upon the many
worthy gentlemen who directed and ar
ranged them. In behalf of the surviving
comrades and friends of the dead soldiers
of the Union army, we thank the patriotic
peopleofthis city twho, without distinction
Of party, closed their business houses, and
by their presence and acts manifested their
sympathy and interest in the ceremonies
of the day. The demonstration of yester-
day was eminently one made by the peo-
pie, and we hail the spirit manifested as
an evidence of new era in the history of
such celebrations.
We are sure that if the brave men who
sleep in our silent city of the dead could
have spoken but one word, in return for
the kind offices rendered, that one word
would have been in commentator Of the
spirit of true patriotism and genuine good
will as generally manifested. Not the
least significant event OF the day, to us,
was the presence and kind acts of many of
our citizens who were active supporters
and adherents of the Confederate cause.
We accept their demonstrations of good
will, and assure them they are fully appre-
ciated.
To the gentlemen who came from the
Capital of the Nation to honor our cere-
monies with their presence, and to pay
such eloquent tributes to the memory OF
our dead to the fire companies that joined
in the ceremonies, and to the good people
OF our city whose acts were more eloquent
than words, on behalf of those friends of
the Union dead who were active in the
services of our new National Holiday, we
return sincere thanks.
