before generation forgetful of q virtue
fOrgetfnlness of which is ruin to family an(
society, he lifted on high the Virgin of Vir
gins and Mother of Mothers and defined
the Immaculateness of her conception. In
defining it he struck blow not only at the
errsr that denied the olden truth-but also
at the vico of the age. TO contradict the
passion of the age is to offend it. He who
offends it must suffer.
But minds as we'll as hearts needed a
dogma to save them for minds as well as
hearts had gone Harfully astray.
He curbed the wanderings of passions by
the dogma of the spof1ess Conception. He
curbed the wanderings of mind by the
dogma of Papal Infallibility. And for pro-
clamation of this truth, he must also suffer
suffer because it is the law. And thus
he-the lone man who kneels on the Rock
is not only an expiation for sin but a victim
for truth.
The eyes of the world are on him. Say
what you will he is the central figures in
this century. Not because of his earthly
that is gone. Not because of
his riches,-poverty is his Inheritance. Not
learning. Many an one in the world to-day
has more genius and learning than he.
Not for these reasons, nor any reasons like
them, is he spectacle to angels and to men.
It's simply and solely because he acts the
part of Christ. Put Christ in his place
and the substitution seems natural: Were
Christ living on earth now as erst he lived
in Judea, his position would be the position
Of Plus. Therefore he has and holds
Christ's place in this age. Howl His place
rs supreme, prosecuted Teacher of Truth -
His place as Victim of Expiration. That is.
Christ the High Priest of the New Dispen-
'ation is msaifesting himself to the world
through Plus. That is,-if Christ be pres
ent at all to this age, there is none who so
fully and fittingly represents him as the
visible head who is now suffering for the
of the body and for truth. -
That is,-if Christ be not represented in
Plus and manifested through him, he has
not ON earth to-day representative who
meets all the requirements Of such a posi-
ton ;-and in this age there is not of him
which matches the dignity,
the grandeur, the sorrow-the expiation,
truth of him who is yesterday, to-day,
the same forever" Are there other reasons
why Plus is and must be the represen-
tative Christi
Are there other reasons why he is and
must be a sign of Christ's Presence,-while
the Rock on which he stands is a sign of
Christ's promise7 Yes-the lone man
standing on the Rock, out there amid the
deep, in the storm, in other ways than these
manifests the Christ we worship.

CoLoREp PACKET CoMPANY.-Tho Re
Publican and Journal, few days since,
announced that w. II. Gray, j. 7. White
and others, were organizing colored
packet company, for the purpose of put.
ting a steamboat in White river Now
we have information from Louisiana that
the legislature of that state recently pass
cd an act Incorporating the Mississippi
River Packet Company, composed en-
tirely of colored men. As the Memphis
San says, "they want not only to be
congressman, and to but up at frst-cass
hotels, and to sit in the best boxes at the
theatre, but they would own and run a
steamboat line of their own. The object
of the charter is to provide them with
privileges which they could not secure
under existing arrangements, and they
promise to make no discrimination a
galnst white folks. They will admit
whites to the first table and give them
state rooms, the same as colored people,
by these representations the legislature
was not only convinced, but actually
voted them subsidy of $4,000, This
looked liberal But, on the same day,
the radical party voted to white asso-
Citations S3,500,000. Thus where the
colored citizens obtained one dollar for
their enterprise, the white radicals voted
themsever one hundred and forty-four
dollars. Little Rock Gesette,

The SENATORIAL CONTEST The gov
ernor said that he hoped his letter de
claring the United States senatorship
would allay the public mind, and permit
of some practical working in the legisla-
ture looking to the good of the govern
ment and the benefit of the people. But
the governors letter instead of closing,
has only opened the Pandora's box OF
evils. Every radical member Of the sem
ate, and every prominent outside man
who has sacrificed his personal honor
and political integrity by supporting the
governors administration, is a candidate
for the place that the governor declines
to accept His excellence will find out
that there is not single friend of his
who advised linn to decline this position
but what will be an aspirant for the
place himself,
White of Phillips, (colored) seems al
this time to be the most prominent can
didates on the administration side Of The
republican party. White has certainly
done more to sustain Governor Clayton
through the perils of the stormy billow'
which have recently assailed his admin
istration than any other man in the party
He certainly deserves, at the hands ofth'
governor and his administration, every
favor that could possibly be bestowed
upon him; but have a shrewd suspicion
that the too faithful and confding Whit
is doomed to experience what many
thousand who have gone before" hav,
felt-the faithlessness and ingrattudc o
his eXcellcncy, the governor.
They may try to fool White with tn
promise of that assistant commission
ership of immigration when the &C
passes; but we warn the gentleman no
to be deluded by that promise, as we d
not believe the representatives of th

GRANT AND BRIBEBY.--The most dis
honorable and culpable act yet commit
ted by President Grant was reported IN
our columns by our correspondent at
Cincinnati yesterday.
Capt. H. G. Stoms was an Assessor oil
Internal Revenue in that city. lie was
appointed by Andrew Johnson, and after
several other nominees to the Office had
been rejected by the Senate, he was con
frmed because he was a satisfactory lie
publican When Gen. Grant became
President, Stoms was retained in office,
as Jesse r. Grant, the President father,
gave out, by his influence. Through the
action of Stoms a certain gauger lost his
situation because he was found to be un
faithful Jesse X. Grant urged Stoms
to recommend this gauger for restora-
ton to his place, saying " lie has offer
ed me $4,000 for reappOintment as gauger.
He is a rascal but y yon r'H recommend
him. ItrW tohe his money and gre yoa

then he was waited upon by rhe Rev. Mr.
Cramer, the Presidents brother in-law,
whom General Grant has recently ap-
pointed Minister to Denmark Cramer
also earnestly endeavored to persuade
Stoms to restore the dishonest gauger,
telling him that if he did not comply with
this request he could no longer count on
the support of Jesse X. Grant at Wash.
ington.
This base proposal was also made by
Jesse r. Grant to the father of Captain
Stoms, who was urged to induce his son
to accept the offer and to secure place
for the gauger already mentioned and
another one. Grant said that he knew
these gaugers were rascals, and that for
that reason he would take their money
and divide with the Assessor if he would
secure the appointments for them. Grant
also told Mr.. Stoms, in the presence Of
the Hon. George Crist, that if his son did
not comply with his wishes he would
soon be punished for it. Soon after this,
President Grant turned Stoms out of Of
flee, as Jesse X. Grant had threatened.
The first duty of the new House of
Representatives should be to impeach
President Grant for his share in this

Rg- The New York San OF the lst,
speaks Of one of Judge Boles' efforts, as
follows:
Congress has kept the Engineer Corps
pretty busily engaged of late in making
surveys for improvements Of rivers and
harbors in various parts Of the country I;
and as specimen of some of the pro
jects entertained for eXpcnding the pub
lie funds in an utterly useless manner,
the report of the engineer who examined
Petit Jean river in Arkansas may be in
stanced. 1t was proposed to render this
insignificant stream navigable from its
mouth to Danyille, a distance of seventy,
eight miles. Danville is the only town
to be benefited by this improvement, and
that is q little village Of 5000 inhabitants,
having neither commerce nor manuiac-
lures There are few farms scattered
along the banks of the Petit Jean, but
those situated between it and the Arkan-
aas river are almost as near the latter as
the former. 1t would cost over SOS, 600
to make this stream navigablc, and then
its navigation would be entirely depend
ent on the back water of the Arkansas,
which lasts only four months Of the year.

VINO ARE THE ANTI ADMINIsTRATIoN
RErUBIICASs Many of our distant
readers who are not familiar with all the
intricate detaile of the political situa
ton here at the capital, may infer, from
the designation of Brindle tail that has
been given to the administration re-
publcans, that they partake of the char
acterstics that were popularity attributed
to those who bore that designation in
last summers campaign, when the term
was used as one of derision and oppro-
brium. But the thuth is that these anti
administration republicans are the liberal
and conservative republicans who favor
universal suffrage and the equalits of all
men before the law. The most of them
were elected upon the liberal platform of
universal suffrage and universal amnesty
which was supposed to have reflected the
views of policies foreshowed in Clayton's
famous October (lS69) speech. They
all came here as the friends of Governor
Clayton and supporters of his admins
traton, and only deserted him when
they became convinced that he had gone
back on his promises and pledges of
liberal enfranchisement and just and
economical government.-Little Rock
