Grand Mass Meeting TO might. We
have been requested to call the attention of the
Republican party to the fact, that tonight, at
the colored church, will be held the ratification
meeting, for the purpose of ratifying the nom.
nations for the Trustees. All must come and
say for themselves. This is one of the most
important meetings ever held in Manchester.
Come then, and ratify the ticket and stand by
it, and get all you can to do the same.
ReIiqious.--At the Baptist church, yestsr
day, the Rev. Mr.. Campbell, the pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, preached to very large
congregation. He took for his text LIST Corin-
thians, I'd verse. The reverend gentlemen set
forth the idea that in the days Of Paul the
people were more corrupt than now, particu-
larly those at Corinth. The gospel itself in
this enlightened age is enough, &o. He said
that If Christ and him cruciied was the theme
OF the ministry, aud not so much of church
government, the gospel of Christ would be OF
greater effect. Lastly, he urged that Christ
and him crucifed should claim the attention OF
the whole people.
H. Z. Church.-Rev. W. II. Christian
preached at IL A. NJ, from Exodus, chapter Ii,
verse l5 5-"Speak unto the children of Israel
that they go forward" indicating that what
ever man would do he must press forward,
both as a means of success in this life and
a suitor for life everlasting
At night his text was--Acts, chapter lG,
verse 30--"What must do to be saved 2" The
inquiry is an evidence that the man who
asked the question was in lost condition.
SO are all men now lost without the mercy OF
God. but few there be that cry as did the
iailor.
In our Saturdays issue we failed to get til Q

Gas.--Can any one inform us why it
was that on Friday and Saturday night last
Clay ward was brilliantly illuminated with
gas gas that proceeded from the city works
until midnight or after, while in other wards,
in places publicly frequented, darkness reigned
as black as Erebus? Some persons imagine
that the gas inspector wished to shed light
upon the proceedings of the Conservative
meetings at Euker's Spring Park-and they
generous, and make no reflection, even on ac-
count of gas, or upon other grounds
Give us a fair show, gentlemen. IT'S all
that we ask; and, If defeated, we will accept
the situation complacently. Still we appre-
hend no such result.

Eaplonation.-It is unnecessary for us
to know why our German friends object to the
term "Dutch," but that they do so, is sufficient
times lately used it. One case will explain all
We stated in eur paper day or two ago, that
Democrat was heard to remark, that If he
had two hundred negroes in his ward, that the
Clutch and Irish" might go to -. We
used the words as a quotation, giving them
exactly as used, and if any reflection was
meant, it was by the author and not by u.s.
We invariably use the word German when
speaking for ourselves.

busy Saturday night at the New Market in
arresting, indscriminately,. all the colored
boys who visited the market, regardless OF
whether they were there on business for their
employers or not. In one instance, they ar
rested and Gagged boy who was in the en-
Ployment of one of the hucksters, in spite Of
his protestation.
The arrests failed to include any white boys,
although number of them constantly gather
around the market, much to the annoyance Of
those who go there ON business.
One boy was handled so roughly as to have
his clothes almost entirely torn from his per-
son.
The indiscriminate arrest of such a number
of coored boys, without any justiiable cause,
created quite an excitement among the oolored
people and would have resulted in serious
riot, but for the calm Judgment of some sens.

OFFICE OF THE Chicago REPUBLICAN,

How it is to be Put Through.

The Washington organ Of Grant says that il
will require not less than ten thousand regular
troops, judiciously distributed through the
Southern States 10 insure a free and fair cleo
ton in those States in 1872 and that it may
be necessary for Congress to increase the army
This is but one of numerous indications thai
Grant intends to force his reelection by plac-
ing the whole South under bayonet rule should
he receive the Republican nomination. Such a
method Of insuring free and fair election,
certainly deserves the credit of originality. II
is only equaled by the ingenuity of the Etbi-
opcan present-taker who relates his experience
in one Of the negro minstrel halls "Pompey
whar you get dat watch ?" "a man CUB il
to me.' "Gub it to you for muffin 2" ayes,
but had TO knock him down free or 70 times
before he d do it." If Grant runs for PTesi-
dent in 1872 he is determined 10 have a free
and fair election, even if it should be necessa-
~ TO bayonet every man in the Southern
States who opposes him. What would he
deemed a free and fair election by man who
has used United States troops and Calling
guns TO control the action of a Republican
convention at New Orleans, may be easily
imagined. ~. Y. Sun Radical.
