THAT THoUsAND.DoLLAR DARKEy.
A number of Journals speak Of Mr..
Revels. the colored Senator from Missis-
sippi, as a thousand-dollsr dArkey." 10
doing go 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 we're only a
thousand dollar darkey,' | should not
feel constrained 10 do more than bow po..
litely as pass him on the threshold OF
the Senate Chamber, or treat him with
that degree Of respectful consideration
which is due 10 q member OF
the honorable body whereof he has
been chosen q member. There are
those so the poet tells us-lo whom q
primrose by the rivers brink is yellow
primrose, aud no more; TO oil such Mr..
Rsvels is thousand dollar darkey But
confess to disposition to look on him
ia far more exalted light. see in him
a three thousand million dollar darkey;
l hear In his voice the thuuders OF Donel-
son aud Shiloh and Vicksburg and
Gettysburg; and in his footsteps the
tread of mightier armies than NAPOLEON
marshaled for the conquest of Europe.
The election of Rsvels is the net pre-
ceeds of all that war and bloodshed. He
represents the assets and liabilities of the
four years struggle; he is I" the glorious
fruits of union and victory whereof
we have heard so much. If this be not
so, let the reader point to some other
solution to the problem. Why was
the war fought, if not to elect Reyels2
Aud now that it is over, what is there to
show for its million graves and it's three
thousand millions of dollars, except the
election of Revels2 Ifthere are other re-
suits to the great struggle, name them.
But, at any rate, let US not be irreverent
on the subject OF Revels-let US not be-
little him into thousand dollar darkey;
but let US rather see in him the great iv-
ing representative of the issue which il
took so many precious lives and so much
precious treasure to bring to victorious
conclusion; and SO regarding him, letu
approach him with uncovered heads, and
bow before him as to great Jove himself.

feet the same purpose. One or the other
ought to see to this. If the Convention
do not see proper to regulate this in the
Consultation, let the Legislature give al
teniion TO II.
The difficulty may be- to secure the
election or appointment Of tax assessors
separate from and independent OF the
city officers who expend the pubic
money. /, may, however, be done. Let
the taxpayers, all who have paid taxes
the current or previous year, elect q
board Of com missioners from each
ward-wbose sole duty shall be to assess
the amount of taxation for the year.
Aud allow these commissioners to hold
no office Of any kind for the current and
next year. Perhaps better plan may
be suggested. That N otioned above now
occurs as about Us feasible as any other.
Something should be done. Let the
taxpayers see to it without delay.
