COMING INTO LIEE-Iho Newberfy
Herald publishes he following card from
fourteen colored men,
We, the undersien at length seeing
the folly of pinning cur faita TO the radl-
cal party, and convinced that q course s.
much in opposition to all that IS right ana
honest, and which in the end viii wor,,
our ruin, (our true interests being wh9ly
identified with the honest wa!te people o.
the State from this time wish 1t known
fer and near. among our colo ed fellow-cit-
izens,. as. well as the white people, that We
will not tie to the radical party any longer,
or believe any more of their lies. The de-
sertion of our leader-Mr. D. R. Phlfer-
who promised so much and performed so
little, was the greatest blessing which
could have befallen ms it had the effect
of opening our eyes. We are satisfied now,
that thoug Oh pretending to be our friend,
he was our worst enemy, and that he was
all the time working for his own sef-inter-
est and had he continued true to his par
ty, and we to him, we would have been
doing injury to ourselves and the country
The true policy Of the colored man is to
cut loose from carpet-baggers and thieves,
and Join hands with white native, honest
citizens; in furtherance of which, we here
by sign our names R. Rice, Allen Rice,
Alexander Bird, William Joiner, Ward
Saunders, James McCracker, Griffin Bird,

From the Unionville Times.
A estions.

There IS serloas question now embar-
raising the medical fraternity. What IS
to be done about the medical treatment Of
the freedman? A Doctor cannot, inJ JUS
tice 10 himself, buy medicine and waste his
time in attending on the sick freedman
without compensation.
Humanity, it may be said. demands OF
them the service; but there are two SIDES
to this question. The PHYSICIANS trst
duty is to his own family, and to those
patrons who pay him promptly for his
services. He can be under no obligations
to serve those who do not pay him for his
services. Again, it is fact well known
10 all, that the freedman will always send
for Doctor upon the slightest trouble,
and is never satisfied, be his attention
ever so particular. Nor will he work or
exchange the fruits of his labor to pay off
the Doctors bill if he can avoid it.
The freedman has set himself up in All
tagonism to every thing which comes from
the white race, and he has certainly no
right to expect favors.
The physicians, in many cases, have re-
solved not to visit those who will not pay
for their services; and if this should be-
come the practice, many must necessarily
suffer.
Is there any plan by which this can be
obviated? It has been suggested by some
persons, that in every township a tax per
capital be assessed upon each freedman,
TO constitute permanent fund, to be used
for the payment Of medical attendance
upon such freedmen as are unable topay
for medical services.
A very small amount paid by each freed
man, would create a fund large enough,
nerhaps, to pay most Of the charity prac-
ucc And as the freedman pays, You may
say, no tax toward the support OF "the
best government the sun ever shone on. ;,
not even poll-tax for the education Of his
own offspring, for whatthey pay is merely
nominal, he ought not to object to paying
small tax to save his own race from suf-
fering.
The above suggestions are thrown oct
to provoke public lttontion.-Peo GoSe

MORE TROUBLE FOR BowEN.-A writer
III the New York Tribune argues that the
President has not the power of pardoning
the bigamous Bowen, for the reason that
the District of Columbia has territorial
constitution, under which the Governor is
vested with the power Of pardoning com
mon. criminals sentenced by the courts of
the District. Bigamy is common crime,
ard in no.Bay an offence againstthe Uni
ted States. and so this writer maintains
that. the President could have no legal atl-
thority to the pardon in this case.
