The Philadelphia Ledger says the
Italians Of New York have called meet
ine to devise means Of checking the sys-
tenn Of organ-grinding and playing upon
musical instruments in the public streets
for money. The call for the meeting
asserts that every Italian should estab-
fish his true character in the United
States, and should prove that he belongs
to an intelligent and Industrious people.
Under these circumstances Italians are
exhorted to exert their influence in
checking the practices of robust young
fellows who play upon the harp and turn
the hand-organ in public places, and
also Of those enslaved young women who
beg with tambourines from door to door.
The Philadelphia Press says: THE
negro race is now part of the Amerl-
can people, with an equal proprietorshlp
in this land, and an equal destiny. Now
more than ever, we needAits labor at the
South and its example for the Southern
people" We suppose its example has
wonderfully improved the editor of the
Press. Forney IS not negro himself,
but he acts more like one than any
other white man on the continent. You
could not tell the difference in the dark.
Tar Cincinnati Commercial has dis
covered the following anomalies: The
French have the best poll-dressers and
the most baldheaded men of any people
in the world. The Americans have the
best dentists and the most bad teeth Of
any people in the world. The English
have the best corn doctors and the most
corn of any people in the world The
Germans have the best lager and the
fewest drunkards of any people in the
world.
PixcHBEoK, the great colored states
man of Louisiana, said in one of his
speeches: of .s4..
Is it possible we are to be put down by the
Government we have sustainedE III that be |
the case, the sooner this Government is torn |
down and monarchy built upon its ruins the
better. teiffN
That is talk, very bold talk. Let the
Government Pinchbeck has sustained
dare to put him down, and up goes a
monarchy. {kff VI J98V
SPEAKING of a singular blasphemous
poem in Woodruff b Clafin's Weekly,
the Rochester Democrat says: That
the women of the land should look with
unutterable disgust and loathing upon
the creatures who conduct that paper,
we can understand; but how respecta-
Bile infdel, even, can regard them with
-
composure, is past our comprehension.
The New York Express says What
the Radical journals mean by Ring is,
that when they are not in power, it is
necessary to Ring OUT the old, and Ring
IN the new. 1t is place, power, plumber,
Office they want, more than any honest
reform in Government. If not, why so
silent Of Federal abuses and upon Fed
eral defalcations
Two more Of the Grant family have
been brought out. VIM. Grant, the
Presidents own cousin, clerk in the
custom-house, New York, and DR.. Ed.

Department, New York. The latter is
the Presidents grandfather's brothers
great grandson. r-rrg II
tbs colOred people Of the United
States will hold two conventions OF
national importancs this fan. The FIRST

September The SECOND is called a
Southern Convention, and will meet in
Columbia. S. c., on the 18th Of October.
A SMALL Kansas town was recently
startled out Of its ordinary propriety by
the Eruption of drove Of three hun
dred buHaloes in its streets. They had
been frightened by train Of cars. and
as they scAmpered through on, the
double-quick the citizens peppered them
with buekshot. THl
Az exchange thinks the fight between
the two factions OF the Republican party
in Louisiana gains additional interest
from the fact that-the meanest things
either party can say Of the other are
true, and even then the subject is bylno
means exhausted.
Tbs New York Commercial (Radicall
is certain Greeley means fight in the
State Convention. His speech, it thinks,
looks that way, and the confession is
made that the lookout for the Republi-
cans is anything but hopeful"
