Always SO.


The enthusiasts among the modern po-
o-philanthropists are ever inh.,ns
into exstacies over every little inaica,.on
amongst the inferior races that shows Sue'
are not unmitisated barbarians, ana co..
nar;ny them with our own Caucasian race
70 ito disadvantage. The Chinese shoehi"-
lers If North Adams, Massachusetts are
now thc objects of adulation, almost o'
elevation. of these crazy people. Ihey De-
Gin to regard these Asiatics not only as pe'-
,er than American whites, but rs quite rs
good rs negro!
THE Tribune, Of New York, gets 6 excel
q lent reports of the Chinese shoemakers
" employed by Mr. SAMPSON Mt North
"Adams, Massachusetts. Their shoes are
"said to be of a superior quality, owing TO
"the flithfuiness Of their workmanship;
"and they turn ont as much as an equal
"numbcr of American workmcn." lt IS
added that they are. as operatives, posi-.
"tively unexceptionable." That is, that
they are in fact slarcs, and work cheap'y.
That is the idea in North Adams OF " un-
cxceptionablc" conduct in Operatives,
Now. then, our white American work
men may behold what little esteem Is felt
for them in Massachusetts. The Chinese
make shoes of "superior quality" Supe-
rior to what? TO shoes made by the
whites. Therefore, the Chinese should be
encouraged and their immigration invited.
| They work as fast as the whites, at lower
| rates, and are "uneXceptionable." They
are every way better than the whites, and,
achat is especially to be Observed, more obe-
dent and submissive, as they are "uneX-
ceptionable 70 Here we see how people
| who profess to be Mortified at slavery are
prone to a passion for servility amongst
those who are put under their control. They
love to be masters of the perfectly submis-
sive and seryile like the Chinese. The true
and high.spirited white workman may know
what to expect from such people.
The worst feature Of this attachment to
inferior and servle races, because they can
be made slaves of, is not its selfshnesS and
| tyranny, but its treachery 10 society. These
lovers of money and of iron rule over other
people will food their land with inferior
men, with no consideration for society.
They do not hesitate to subject it to the
perils of mongrelism, social degradation,
aud the feuds engcndered By the hate OF
race. They would involve their country IN
the swarm of evils thus engendered, that
they may make money out of the labor OF
a seryile people. They will turn away their
own race, and prefer the lower and more
abiect, and thus introduce into their coun'
ltry curse which it will take generations
to abolish.
Let the wise men, and the workingmen'
land the patriots of this land, deriving Il les
son never to be forgotten from the terrlhle
lexaInple we have had of the introduction
of an inferior race into this country, oppose
with all their might the threatened influx
of Chinese. Massachusetts wants slaves.
But the peace of this land is more impor-
ltant to the nation than the qualification OF
the greed and love of petty tyranny OF peo'
plc of Massachusetts.

The OLD SoLD1ERs.-Concerning the law
granting pensions to soldiers of the war OF
1872. the Lynchburg Nears copies (edito-
rially) an article which first appeared in a
western paper, and which contains the fol-
lowing paragraph:
cit may be generally understood that all
enlisted or drafted men who served for sixty
DAYS or upwards are entitled to IS per
month but if it is, then that genera, un an
derstanding is general mistake: AT least
nine-tenths of the soldiers of the war of
1872 who live south of the Potomac are de-.
MED the benefit of the act. Every one OF
these old soldiers is required to take an
iron.clad oath before he can obtain the pen
sion. He is required to swear not only that
he gave no aid and comfort to the 'reoel-
lion hut that he had no sympathy for It's
cause"
We do not 80 understand the law. 1t ex-
cludes only those who aided and abetted
the rebellion and that aiding and abetting
must have been of a practical nature.

France.

II is gratifying to learn that on tomorrow
Prussia will bring her guns to bear upon
the Paris mob. This will put it down. Ii
has gotten foothold because the Govern
ment of France was deluded into the idea
that remonstrance would prevail with the
unreasoning sans.culotteS. The only effec-
tive remedy is that which the first NAPo-
LEON gave thcm-grape-shot. BY neglect
ing to use this remedy promptly the Gov
crnmcnt found itself in a vexatious diem
ma. The mob got position, and the SOL
diers began to fraternize with them. The
eclat of success is wonderfully potential
with French soldiers, who, not thinking OF
consequences, and eXaggerating the TIL
umohs of the mob, fraternized with the
tumultuous body. The Government knew
not who to rely upon, and was fast losing
it's authority.
Prussia, by its timely movement, will
bring anarchy to a pause, and give the
French Government time to save the coun-
try from the Partisan delugc OF blood and
ruin, and to reG:tablish order under strong
goyernment-one that will keep down the
Paris anarchists. No system for the rcstora-
ton of authority in France, however, can
be complete that does not discontinue Paris
as the seat of government. None OF the
departments of government should be To-
Gated in that city. There can be no indie
pendent legislation under the continual
menace OF its terrible mob. France should
never again trust her fortunes to the ca
prices of the Paris populace.
That there will be a strong government
established in France we have no doult.
1t is a necessity, and, philosophically,
sooner or later that necessity will be met
and supplied. But just now there is an
immediate requirement for such govern
ment, which is backed by irresistible force.
Germany demands it, in order that the
complied with; and this Germany will
have.
1t may be very reasonably supposed that
King WILLIAM had little hope that the Re-
public would be able to maintain its
authority, and therefore so arranged his
withdrawal from France that it would be
in his power to recover his position, and
assist in forming government that may be
relied upon. We shall soon see his policy
in this respect developed. BISMARCK has it
all arranged, we are sure.
The Count of Paris, we CONJECTURE,
stands the best chance for King, and we
should not be surprised to see that remark
able man THEIRS at the head of the Min
istry.
The BoNAPARTEs, it seems to us, can
hardly be reinstated. LOUIS NAPOLEON
has brought himself into contempt, and his
son is too young to be thought of. France
cannot be subjected to the perils Of re-
gency and the waywardness OF u boy Em-
peror. The nation could not acquiesce in
that, and, above all, it will not suit King
WILLIAM to expose France to uncertainty
and peril, at least until indemnity is paid.

President Grants Last Move.

1t Is sad to see what plumbers General
GRANT has committed, under the bad adj
vice of those embittcred partisans in whose
hands he has placed himself. He began
his civil career very civilly indeed. de was
liberal and conciliatory. He wanted to
restore equality, peace, and contentment
TO the nation, and his famous Virginia
policy promised to lead US all out OF The
Wilderness" reestablish peace, and re-
organize the productive energies OF the
nation. Unfortunately, those who had his
ear and his confidence then, were one after
another removed, and he allied himself
with their very opposites.
Sc beginning his Government as civilian
he has now run into military rule. He pro-
poses to subvert the civil law and establish
martial law in its stead. His advisers in
Congress are pressing the passage of laws
that are wholly unconstitutional. The
President has under the Constitution no
right to send troops to interfere in the al
fairs Of State unless he is asked to do SO
by State Legislature, or when the Legis-
laiure is not in session the Governor. But,
General GRANT beSs Congress to pass some
law taking cognizance Of offences punisha-
BILE only by State laws, in order that he may
send the forces ut his command into the
States. What is this but martial law Con-
gress has no more right TO pass it than the
King of the Ojebbeway Indians has to i'm.
pose it upon this country.
Under the laws of Providence we take it
that General GRANT is only increasing the
tyranny of himself and his partisans, under
the shallowest pretexts, for the most selfish
and dishonorable purposes, and that thus
the cruel and Sordid rule we are now sub.
jected to Is the more certainly to be termi.
mated. Thus are the censureS Of the people
to be more decisively drawn upon misrule
and the country rescued from its abuses.
Gen. GRANT has reversed all order and
system, and humanity itself, by his extra.
ordinary course. He began a liberalist he
is about to wind up cruel and narrow.
minded partisan and usurper. Instead o!
securing for himself the unanimous respect
and gratitude of his countrymen, he will
probably obscure what of military glory he
possessed when he became President, and
lose with 1t the applause and honors of his
country.

!. 1t is stated that "seyeral benevolent per.
sons teach" the Chinese shoemakers at
North Adams, Mass, son Sunday" and
that "they have shown great aptness foI
the acquisition of the English language
1t Is quite an economical sort of education
which, being given on Sunday" loses no

TuoxAs's CoNcsHTs.-A Although the con-
cert given by THEODORE THoMAB's superb
orchestra last night at Assembly Hall Is mo-
ticed in the local columns Of this paper, we
cannot resist the desire to bestow upon IL
our appreciation in more emphatic man-
ner. There can be no doubt that the per-
formances of this body of musicians are su-
nerior to any in the line that have ever be-
fore been offered to the people OF hlch-
mond. The famous JULIAN, with bis large
orchestra, was wonderfully successful In
his skirmishing and his mastery flank move
ments, by which he took captive popular
opinion but bis performances were not
marked by the exalted skill and harmony,
the refinement of art, that are manifested
in the achievements of this admirably
drilled corps.
The unity and unerring accuracy Of these
musicians were we'll tested last night in
several pieces, especially in the extract
from MENDELsoN's Midsummer Nights
Dream" The responses and the playful
summer nights caprlces of this sublime
production were 30 distinctly and accu'
rately enunciated, and with such delicacy
and taste, that the devout lover Of music
could hardly restrain his feelings from audi
BILE expression. The gem of the evening
was BEETHoyEN's Prometheus." IT.
magnificent rendition won for the perform
ers the highest encomiums of the best
judges.
Miss MEHL1a is pianist of wonderful
talent.
The lover of music has never had such
treat before in this city, and should not lose
the opportunity of hearing this admirable
orchestra to-nieht-its last.

THE great beauty of the Worlds report
of the marriage [of the Marquis of Lorne
and the Princess Louise] is that it came by
cable without anybody connected with the
cable knowing it. There is no expense in

grog in New York city, and he writes you
"cable news" from any part Of the world
