THUS Ir Is.-Itis fact worthy of re-
mark that when General Morgan, of
Ohio, presented his constitutional amend
mcnt to the House, making naturalized
citizens eligible to the Presidency, all
the colored members voted against 1t. 1t
is curious feature of our Government,
at the present time, that negro is eligi-
BILE % the highest Office, while the most
intelligent white man in the world is
shut out if he happened to be born in a
foreign country. The Cincinnati Volks-
blatt, speaking of the fact, says:
The negro Republicans are, therefore,
opposed to the granting to immigrant
Germans Of rights equal to their own.
Such are the thanks for the labor of the
Germans against slavery and in favor Of
negro suffrage, and for the blood shed by
the Germans in the war for human rights
of blacks. Already the negroes ore ein-.
ployed in the Republican party as a coun-
terpoise against German influence. Were
it not for the negro vote, there would be
moro caution used in the temperance and
Sunday question-for almost every ne
gro is supporter of the Puritanic fana-
tics. Now, the old expression "The
Moor hath done his duty; the Moor may
CO." can be converted into 1.-THE Ger
man, having done his duty can so, and
the Moor takes his place"

War without End.

The organs of the Administration have
already begun to publish kuklux stories.
North Carolina. where the first congressional
elections are to take place, Is the scene of
the imaginary outrases which have hast
aroused the indignation Of the GRANTEES. A
horrible state OF things exists in the good Old
North State, according to the GRANT papers,
aud nothing but the reelection Of GRANr
himself can put down the North Carolina
kukiuN.
These outrages will be transferred to other
southern States as soon as the elections are
over in North Carolina. They are invented
to arouse spirit Of hostility to the South IN
the breasts of the northern people, and thus
to secure the reelection Of General GRANT.
We shall never have peace until the cor.
rupt party at present ruling the country shall
have been turned out of the offices. Ii the
northern people want to get rid of these
narrowing stories, lctthem vote for GREELEY.

FOreStS--Raill.

Mr.. HALpEaAN, of Pennsylvania, made ar
interesting speech in the House of Repre-
scntativcs Of Congress last winter in favor 0
bill to encourage the planting Of trees anC
for the preservation Of weeds on the publ,
domain now held by the United States
The bill failed TO become law but tht
discussion Of the subject attracted gcot
deal of attention from the public press
which, generally speaking, advocated til.
bin in question. The following is an extract
from Mr.. HALDEMAN'S speech: ."f
Aside from all considerations OF beauty
and utility, it Is shown that trees promote
/. MildnesS and cQuability of climate;
.. 4 sufficient rainfall, and freedom from
wasting droughtS ........ ....,.... s.
). The volume of rivers aud their easy
navigation
d. Abundance and durability of nat ura
springs;
5. Freedom from miasmatic diseases;
6. A permanent check upon foundations
and destructive freshctS. -
II, indeed, the cutting down Of our forests
which would seem to be u natural conSe-
queuce of the highest state of civilization and
of a dense population, is to bring so many
evils upon us, it is time that we were made
acquainted with the fact. Mr.. HALDEMAN
has studied the subject, and his conclusions
are worthy of consideration. We are ready
to admit the last four of his propositions as
already established, and the first as probably
true. The second one, however, if it means
that the general rainfall is increased, would
seem to be in conflict with the teachings of phi
losophy. First, it rains upon the ocean, where
there are no trees, very often-pcrhaps as
often as upon the land. Secondly, tiyc-Se-
yenths of the surface Of the earth are COW
cred with water. Most of the evaporation
takes place from the oceans; aud the quantity
of this evaporation cannot be increased or
diminished by the presence or the absence of
forests upon the land. Moreover, the absence
of forests increases the quantity Of crapora-
ton whichimmcdiately takes place on the land
whenever rain has fallen. 1t follows inevitably
that the vapor in the air must be condensed
and come to the earth in the form of water.
In 4 word, the more evaporation, the more
rain. 1t would seem, then, to be an indis-
putablc fact that the cutting down of forests
cannot diminish the quantity of rain which
falls upon the globe. That quantity would
more probably be increased, it seems to us,
than diminished, if every tree upon the sur
face of the earth were cut down. "Wha.
goes up must come down." say the school,
boys; and the saying is as true of water as
of anything else. Certainly the sun would
have fine chance to cause the evaporation
of water if the entire surface Of the earth
were open to its rays. t =
Nevertheless, it may be That the presence
of forests causes more rain where they are
and less somewhere else in the world. They
may cause different distribution Of showers
from that which takes place in their absence.
We are inclined to think that they do
