d rho mere act Of self.prosection have jus
s,aablv done that Tor. which Gen. GRANT
appeals to Congress to punish them.
The question is, VIII the people OF the
North, acquiescing In the demands OF
GRANT and his partisans (wbo are eaten up
with the love Of power and plunoer), ap.
prove the policy which subordinates their
own race to barbarian Africans, and con-
Times that war of races which is ruinous
alike to the prosperity and peace OF The
landp
We have entire faith in the opinion that
the neople of the North as well as the
South will not tolerate this iblackguard ex-
Incident for the prolongation of power
They will not even silently look on while
the intelligent white people of the South
are put under the control Of negroes and
the tyrannous oppression Of Government
which hesitates not to seek the perpetual
ton of its authority by measure so ao-
horrent to the civilized world as that OF the
DEGRADATION of the white man to subordl'
nation to the negro.
This is the issue presented by General
GRANT which will consign his name to ever
lasting iufamy. 1t will be doubly infamous
for while he proposes the degradation OF
his own race, he forces the negro to a coh'
fiict which must inevitably result in hls ois'
comilure and final disaster.
The issue thus presented by GRANT Is
| nothing less than Black or White anu ny
it he will assuredly be permanently con-
/! demned.

~ THE PUREsT AND SAFEST. :

me- THE PUREST AND SAFEST
The efficacy of HoSTETTER'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERs as specific for recruiting
the ienfaebled body and cheering the responding
mind has passed into a proverb. In the United
States, where this marvellous tonic has borne
down ell opposition, and eclipsed all rivalry, the
demand for 1t has annually increased In heavier
and heavier ratio for years, until at last the re-
gular sales OF this preparation exceed those OF all
other stomachics combined. Eminent members
OF the medical profession and hospital surgeons,
without number, have candidly admitted that the
pharmacopeia of the faculty contains no pre-
scription that produces such beneficial effects In
dyspepsia, general debility and nervous diseases,
as HOsTETTER'S BIT TIERS. To use the Ian
guage OF a venerable physician Of New York,
"The Bitters are the purest stimulant and the
safest tonic we have" But the uses of the great
vegetable antidote are much more comprehensive
than such praise would imply. AS a preparatory
antidote to epidemic disease, genial stimulant,
a promoter of constitutional vigor, an appetizer,
a stomachic, and remedy for nervous debility,
no medicinal preparation has ever attained the
reputation of HOSTETTER's BITTERs. It is
the household tonic Of the American people, and
in all human probability will be so for centuries
to come The magnates Of science recognize Its
merits and that 1t is emphatic ally the medicine
Of the masses, is proven by its vast and ever-in-
creasirg sales. mh27- eodlw& wlt

ia qualification outside Of mere business
considerations, which must enter the heart
Of every citizen Of Richmond. In this par
ticular we know we speak but their sincere
feelings. Our own disposition would be
to give this feeling an emphatic expression
in some way. Our citizens ought to seek
the acquaintance their friendship we know
we have, as they have ours-of the people
of the Atlantic coast south Of us. 1t would
be agreeable, we are sure, to both sides to
meet face to face. and felicitate one another
upon the abolition of those miserable bar

greed, which have so long kept Us apart in
| fact when in feeling we were SO near AKIN
We throw out the suggestion. 1t isfor
our people to consider how the most heart
felt of sentiments shall be manifested.
| In this matter Petersburg is equally in
terested with ourselves. Our Interests are
identified with hers. Her battles have
been fought in Richmond. The trade thai
finds Its way from the Roanoke to Rich
mond is trade that she has deep interest
lin. Whether we consider freight or pas
sengers, a certain ratio always falls to the
share of towns upon the line OF transpor'
tation, and that ratio in the aggregate IL
large or small just in proportion to the
general aggregate of the current whicn
flows along the channel. Were 1t checked
Ior stopped at Petersburg, then there
would be no more brought upon
1.-THE line than the attractions ano
capabilities of Petersburg would draw
Indeed not so much; for the hml'
tation that would be put upon the amount
would occasion just that feeling OF douol
and uncertainty that would turn the great
current another way and nearly dry up that
which continued along to Petersburg. But
clear away misunderstanding Richmond
in as auxiliary, with her larger means and
her facilities for the distribution of trade,
and the current will be kept full and strong
land Petersburg will prosper all the more
for getting her ratio of full tide of trade
instead of the sickly oozings from the bed
of a current that is nearly dry because OF
being cut off and diverted into another
channel. ....
Il We would strike hands with our good
friends of Petersburg, enter heartily with
them into the benefits of a commerce mu-
ltually advantageous to us, and will rejoice
in their thrift and prosperity.

TAsTE-oR ACCURACY p-Not long ago,
the editor Of q newspaper In this city was
taken to task in the seVerest terms for hav-
ing called Jew Jew. "Why apply an
opprobrious name to usp' wrote an indig-
nant Israelite, in whom there was no other
guile than that Of a temporary and (as he
supposedly justifable anger. He demanded
that all the descendants of Abraham
should be designated In his "favorite
journal" as Hebrews or Israelites, and
would not hear Of any other name,
But now comes yeritable Jew, who writes
to journal which calls itself the .7e,rish
Messenger, to say that the proper word is
Jew-nothing more and nothing less. Not
Hebrew nor Israelite, he says, but Jew.
His reasons are sufficiently cogent. "The
term jew" he says, els applied to us with
peculiar suitableness, for the greatest bulk
Of our people, especially styled Israel, has
been lost: The Hebrews Of the days of
Moses and The Judges, who formed a com.
pact nation, exist no longer. The Jews alone,
the descendants Of the Judeans, who re-
turned to Palestine by the ediet of Cyrus,
and those who remained scattered through.

ated our race, and became tho witnesses Of
religious truths" Time brings its own re-.
Venges, and the newspaper man who was
reylled may now eomplacently congratulate
himself upon his sagacity in choosing the
right name at first. The authority of q Jew

BAD CHIRoGRAPHY.-A reporter who in
terviewed Mllrat Halstead recently, gives
the following account of portion Of the
conversations:
Reporter: "Ifyou would not think it an
impertinent question, MIR. Halstead,
should like to know if Wash. Mclean ever
did really send you written challenge"
MIR. Halstead: 81 do think it most in
formally impairment question. Still, as so
many untruthful stories have been pub
lished in regard to that matter, have no
objection to giving you the correct version
of the affair. The challenge was sent, but
Mclean let BlosS, the assistant editor Of
the Enquirer, write it for him. Now, Bloss,
writes such an UNANIMOUSLY bad hand that
there are only two men in this country that
can read bis manuscript, and neither of
these is Bloss. The note, in an ENQUIRER
envelope, was left in the counting.room,
where nobody could make anything either
of the address or the contents. So it was
sent up stairs to the composing-reom and
put in the hand Of one OF our oldest COM
positors, who is considered an expert
in the art of deciphering illegible
manuscript. This man, who will never
acknowledge himself beat, after due de-
liberation pronounced it to be an adver-
tisement of cheese factory for sale some
where in Lorain county, with an order to
insert it every other day for two weeks
and charge the bill to the Enquirer. This
eompositor set up the advertisement from
Blossy's manuscript, and no one suspected
but it was all right till the end Of the
month, when the bill for its insertion was
sent to the Enquirer office and repudiated.
An Investigation brought out the true facts
of the case, but of course it would have
been the height of absurdity to take any
notice of challenge which had been print
ed for two weeks as an advertisement for a
cheese factory"
