Colonel RADICALS REBUkED. The
negroes have nominated one of their
own color rs candidate for a vacant
Senatorship in Pennsylvania; whereupon
the Philadelphia Press reminds the
colored people that the Republican party
have "again and again risked much for
the ,colored man, and often the risk hos
illuminated in loss" It adds: "There
is no justice now in asking that the Re-
publican party should in any case assume
any, special risk. by eny nomination
turning on the question of color-a
question now happily sunken and out of
sight,
It gently hints that this colored candi-
date should get out of the way. that his
running will jeopardize the election, and
that ga defeat of the Republicans in the
special election, through any mistaken
action of the colored voters, would go
far towards rendering it impossible to
elect colored men to official positions
hereafter"

theory receives severe blow from the
hands Of DR.. Bird, an eminent English
physician, now resident in Italy, who
has been making series of experiments
upon the blood of various races He
af1rms. as the result of his investiga-

ton; the blood of the Bengalese con-
tanning fewer red corpuscles than the
European, and that of tho negro still
less. He argues from this, different
grades in physical organization, and
proves the Caucasian to bo altogether q
higher and entirely different type OF

that of all the States which have been
admitted into the Union. There are
nearly 1000, 100000 acres of land in

this territorial domain is richer than the
area inclnded in the States. The latter
contain Gay 10000, 900 settlers, and even

The message Of President Grant sbn-
taine, few points OF striking interest
The President, in his easy mood and
his constitutional apathy, is disposed to
think ihat We ,ara getting on in o ma
tional, wey rather pleasantly than other-
wise. AS soon as the whole country shall
show forth a disposition to pay the pub
lie debt, and to let every man vote as he
may, misunderstanding TO tine President
all win be- veil. and the country may
go on its way rejoicing. We regret
thai We cannot share in the Presidents
rosssSolorea views OF the present and
future nf this country. It may be we'll
for those who are UP, to think as the
President thinks, but those who are
po#M, debire q change. We do not con-
onr. with the President in his views as to
the Aatiafaetory condition of the coun-
try. One portion, at least, of it. could
be greatly imptSved. Fraud, corruption
and tnis.ruie prevail in many sections Of
the South, and We hold that everywhere
q reform is greatly needed as to the way
in which the public affairs are managed,
and the military is encroaching upon
the civil departments of the Government.
We hold that the situation might be
greatly changed for the better.

An Unnatural Mother.

About two weeks ago, Nancy Peck, an aban-
doned character, left an infant few weeks old
at a shanty in the suburbs, occupied by man
and his wife named Nelson, which they cared
for as kindly as their limited means would al
low The child remained there until last FRI
day, when the mother sent coorcd woman for
it aud had the infant brought to her. The ma
ternal instinct was of short duration, however,
for late in the afternoon the amiable Nancy
brought the child back, aud when Nelson hest
tated about receiving it. the unnatural
mother threw her offspring ON the floor and left.
The child was badly hurt, and though attended
to, died the next day and was buried on Sunday
afternoon by colored man, assisted by two wo-
men, near IA culvert on the East Tennessee and

The friends of the rival candidates, after due
consultation, decided on their course, and we
are not surprised at their action. To be sure, the

Eastern Division Fair.

days following, with feelings of Interest, that
being the time at which the Eastern Division
Fair is to be held here Previous to the war,
these fairs were well attended and were occa-
sions of more than ordinary interest Now that
the farmers are straining every nerve to excelin
their vocation, and our mechanics are laboring
to perfect their knowledge of the different pur-
suits in which they are engaged, it is eminently
proper that they meet and counsel together, and
exhibit specimens of what they have accom-
