The Nice Consistency of Some Men as
Bxemplifed in Two Nice Little Para
graphs Clipped From Memphis Daily.
PARAGRAPH FIRST.

''They have n woman i'm Jackson who
goes to the circus and to the fairs and
faints, and obtains gratuitOus lemonade
from sympathetic bystanders until she
reyives. Then she watches the youth
who sells the seductive beverage, and
when he gets around to the opposite
side of the tent, she goes over there and
faints again, and is brought back to
consciousness by more lemonade. She
obtained thirty-siX ten cent drinks by
this method the other day, and yet there
are people who want to let these beings
vote"
We particularly request our readers
to note the brilliant and suggestive COM
ment contained in last line of first para
graph, then carefully and reflectively
read
PARAGRAPH SECOND.
"An incorporate inn-keeper living in
Cleveland, Ohio, named Bennett, at
tempted to murder his wife Wednesday
morning by beating her and then cut
ting his own throat with knife. The
woman will probably recover"
Anybody but a perverse and cross
eyed strong-minded, will see at a glance
the intolerable Nervousness of the wOm-
ans conduct, the total moral depravity
of the degraded female who dead-beat
that innocent young dealer IN acldulOus
drinks out of three dollars and sixty
cents worth of lemonade, whether weak
or strong, is not stated.
Though we do not see how either weak
or strong the crime would be amelio-
rated.
We are afraid in the short course of
our editorial career there have appeared
some few words in our Tablet which
have led some to suppose i0e are one of
those mistaken 'people who want to let
women vote"
If any one of our dearly beloved
readers has so understood us, in view of
the profound lesson taught us i'm para
graph first, we retract; we rupudiate;
with tears in our eyes we renOunce the
whole strong minded business.
We give it up forever; we see the dan
ger of doctrine that might give the
franchise to females extravagantly ue-
voted to acid drinks. We see the saiety
and beauty, and justice of leaving tne
ballot lust where it is, with the mlld
men. who never dead-beat youths out oil

whisky. and rum, and gini who seorn TO

The Difference Between a Violin and a

quiet and Out-of-the-way village of
A.. The Doctors ideas were liberal
much more so than many of his con-
gregation; nevertheless he kept on the
even tenor Of his people. He had son
named Enoch, who at an early age man
ifested n remarkable talent for music
which the father cherished and culti-
waited with care. In the same village
resided an antiquated maiden lady, who,
having no cares of her own to occupy
her time and attention, magnanlmously
devoted herself to those of her neighbors.
One morning she called at the doctors
and requested to see him. When he
entered the room where she was seated
he perceived at n glance that something
was amiss, and before he had time TO
extend her the usual "HOw dye do ,"
she added:
az think, DR.. Pond, that a man of
your age and profession might have had
something better to do, when you were
in New-LOndOn last week, than to buy
Enoch a fiddle; all the people are
ashamed that our minister should buy
his son fiddle! Oh, dear, what IS the

PRESERVING IRON.-Dr. William H.
Sterling has patented process for the
preservation of iron. An exchange
says: His invention contemplates the
permanent preservation of iron. This
he accomplishes by first heating the
iron in vacuO, in order to expand it and
open the pores and then forcing some
non-OXydizing substance into the inter-
stitial and intercellular spaces of the
iron, and then allowing the iron to cool.
This thoroughly impregnates. the iron
with a substance which will prevent it
it from rusting or deteriOrating in any
manner. Among numerous substances
which can be used with above results,
the inventor specially mentions and
states his preference for pariffine. We
regard this as one of the most valuable
patents which has ever been taken out
/ by an inventor on this coast. England
has offered large reward for any pro-
cess that will prevent iron from Oxy-
/ diZing, in order that their iron ships
might be rendered proof against the
oXydizing effect of salt water, which
soon destroys them.

Washington and Point Lookout
Railroad.

About five hundred men are now engaged
upon this road, which has been 80 actively
commenced rs to warrant the thought that
with proper management it will be completed
and in running order in little more than one
year from the first day of July next. AL
ready about thirty miles have been graded,
with about sixteen miles ready for the ties.
Everything betokens through line from
New York to the Chesapeake bay before a
year passes. The advantages which are pos
sessed by this road over any other that now
proposes to enter the city are, that while it
not only opens up to us the rich and produc-
tive agricultural counties of Southern Mary
land, it puts us within four hours commune
cation of the magnificent oyster beds of the
lower Potomac and the Chesapeake bay, and
must originate a trade which will be of:-incal-
culable benefit to this community.
We notice that the Sunday press of the
city are unanimous in expressions of COM
mendatiOn, and earnest in eXhortation to
our people to assist the enterprise in a man
ner becoming the magnitude of the project
and the great benefit that must accrue
to all.
Among the directors of the road are Gov
ernor Cooke and General Chapman, while the
president of the company is known as gen.
tleman of great energy and enterprise. With
such elements in its management the road
must be a success, and we impatiently await
its full completion. DAILY Republican,

teach all nations. Do you suppose that God
has made one heaven for white men and an
other for black men? Scripture informs US
that there is but one place for the just and
righteous after death, no matter where they
were born, or what may be their nation or
color. You know that large bodies move
slow, and this prejudice against the African
race will, in my judgment, wear itself out
eventually, and the next generation of men
in this country will take altogether different
view of the subject. All that is necessary
for you to do is to treat with friendship all
men, and do not, by your acts, endeavor to
produce any ill-will nor draw any lines of
caste, and eventually all the prejudices IN
the minds of the whites, that had their origin
in the dsgraceful system of slavery formerly
in this country, will vanish like the mist be-
fore the rising sun. Endeavor to select good,
reliable, and honest men for office, and stick
tenaciously to the old Republican party that
released you from bondage, and has sur
rounded you with all the rights, privileges,
and franchises that you now enjoy, and with
firm reliance on Divine Providence, who
has said, "knock and it shall be opened, ask
and it shall be given" you will yet rise in
the scale of life and manhood, and be num-
bered among the other nations of mentor i'll
telligence and learning.

Grant and his policy deserve the very
highest credit. Horace Greeley.
"While asserting the right of every Repub-
lican to his untramnaeled choice of a candi-
date for next President until nomination
is made, venture to suggest that General
Grant will be far better qualified for that mo-
mentOus trust in 1872 than he was in 1861
Horace Greeley.
"Wc are led by him who first taught our
armies to conquer in the West, and subse-
quently in the East also. Richmond would
not come to us until we sent Grant after ii.
and then it had to come. He has never vet
been defeated, and never will be. He will
be as great and successful on the field of
politics as on that OF arms. "-Horace Greelev.
p" A Democratic national triumph means a
restoration to power OF those who deserted
their seats In Congress and their places un-
der the last Democratic President to plunge
the country into the Red Sea of secession and
rebellion. Though you paint an inch thick,
to this complexion you must come at last.
The brain, the heart, the soul of the present
Democratic party is, the rebel element at tho
South, with its Northern allies and sympa-
timers. "-Horace Greeley.
Yes General Grant has failed to crafty
some eager aspirations, and has thereby in
Cured some intense hatrcds, These do not
and will not fail and his administration will
prove at least equally vital. We shall hear
lamentation after lanentation over his fall
ures from those whose wish is father to the
thought; but the American people let them
pass UNDECIDED. Their strong arms bore him
triumphantly through the war and into the
White House, and they still uphold and
sustain him. They never failed and never
will. "--Hordce Greeleg

Senator salisbury Threatening n
BOlt-Senatar Bayard Gr0Aning.

According to reliable Washington adyices.
both our Delaware Senators are disgruntled
over the situation of affairs in their party.
Senator Salisbury, it appears, threatens to
become a boiler, if the Baltimore Convention
doesn't act to please him, while Senator Bay
ard is deeply grieved at the resolutions passed
by his party friends at Dover. AS to the
latter, it is probable that he disapproves the
resolutions, more for not declaring his favor
lite theory that voting is an aristocratic privi-
lege and not popular right, than because
they denounce the three great Amendments.
But what shall we say of Mr.. Salisbury I?
Is he about to antagonize his great party
Is Eli one OF those who come out from the
Democracy, and set themselves up to face ii
and fight it, just because it makes Horace
Greeley its candidate for President? Really.
we can't believe it-SenatOr Salisbury a
bolter, secedcr, a schsmatic, "Polly Nc
Natt"-the idea is monstrous! In fact, we
venture to predict that notwithstanding Ellis
boldness of speech, he will not dare to put
his threat into execution. His family Ring
has too slight control over the Democracy
OF Delaware, to make it safe to try any eX-
perlments, or run any risks. The "anti-
Salisbury factions, in Kent and Sussex, of
whom we always hear so much for a month
before the election, but who always fzzle out,
gathering strength, lately, and marshaled by
pluckier and younger men are facing the old
Ring without fear, and hitting it some ugly
licks. With such an opposition threatening
him, and standing ready to seize advantage
of all his blunders, Senator Eli as we have
already said, dare not "bolt," or he would
find that while he was stepping over the
Democratic Threshold, for a short time his
opponents were securely locking the door on
the inside.
The idea of Delaware running it's own
Democratic ticket against the feld--in oppo-
sition to Grant, to Greeley, to Victoria Wood
hull, George Francis Train, and all the others
is unique and funny. It's real Sauls-
bury notion, a Dover Democratic joke Who
would be on the ticket? A Salisbury, of
course. The ex-senator, no doubt, would
head it, and probably Congressman Biggs
would do for the second place.
But, after all, these vaporings don't amount
to hill of beans. Horace Greeley has swal-
lowed the Democracy, Tammany, Delaware,
and all, and his nomination or endorsement
makes Grant and Wilson sure of this State,
if the Republicans don't botch their tailor
work. Senator Salisbury may run his own
ticket or not, and Senator Bayard NAV be-
moan Mr.. COOper's Bourbon resolution, or
not, but the business is done, the Democratic
cake is baked, and Greeley has gulped il
down. - Wilmington Del) Commercial.

The Chicago Tribune is the leading Liberal
Republican journal of the West. Horace
White is its editor, and Horace Greeley Is his
Iavor1te candidate for President. The editor
Oh the Richmond Journal has been burrowing
among the files of the Chicago Tribune, and
mas unearthed the following editorial article,
IN which Mr.. White gives his estimate of
Mr.. Greeley as he knew him in November.
1866:
Horace Greeley is not now, and never
mas been, man who ought to be trusted
with an official position requiring practical
wisdom, ordinary craftsmanship, or firm, con-
slstent action. For twenty-five years he has
been mar-plOt in council: an unreliable
commander in action; misanthrope in vic
tory, and riotous disorganizer in defeat.
lie has always been fanatical in his demands
Tor the EXTREMIST measures, and when the
party has reached the eve of triumph, inva-
flably thlusts himself forward as negotiator
Oh terms OF surrender to the enemy His
course during the war was but a repetition of
MS course in politics. In 1861 he was an
open defender of secession; he changed to a
vigorous champion of the war, and thereafter
was forever recklessly making proposals for
peace and as recklessly withdrawing them
making war in spite of Mars, and negotiating
in spite of Minerva.
w t"NhtN DCstio TIC HIS Itcn an ulcOm-
promising advocate for square fight with
the pro-slayery party, and when that kind of
light was forced upon the Republicans in
1860 he was here in Chicago, voting not for
Lincoln, nor for Chase, but for old Edward
Bates, OF Missouri, one of the fossils of the
slave party. lie was then the associate and
co-laborer of that other impracticable and
unreliable squad--the Blair family. The
country at this time wants no inspired IIar-
lequlns in the national councils. Still less
does it want men with craftsmanship so mi
croscopic that they can see nothing in public
business but the mileage and per diem of their
fellow members. If Mr.. Greeley is not sat-
isiied with his position as a Journalistic
position which ought to be equal in point of
influence, power, and dignity to that of six
average Senators-and if the Republicans of
New York want to do something for him, let
them make him State Prison Inspector, or
even Governor; anything that will not make
the outside of the State responsible for his
follies."

In its new and unnatural devotion to the
Democracy, the Tribune gets strangely mixed.
Referring to the first day of the Indiana
Democratic Convention, it says:
SO far, at least, wise policy has con-
trolled the management of affairs, and it
seems probable that Hon. Thomas A. Hend-
ricks, a man of marked ability and integrity,
will head the State ticket, with some such
Liberal Republican as candidate for Congress-
man at large"
Hr. Hendricks has always been bitter
partisan Democrat, who sympathized with
the rebellion and resisted all the war meas
ures OF the Government. The Tribune has
over and over again denounced his npatri-
otto course. Neither Pendleton nor Sey-
mour was more inimical to the Government
during the war. He was pronounced Cop
perhead, and now the Tribune beslobbers
him with praise, commends his nomination,
and expects some such Liberal Republican to be
nominated for Congressman. If this means
anything, it means that Liberal Republic
can" and "Copperhead" are convertible
terms, and have become identical, and we
think that is just about the truth. But what
a confession!

The FinIeS Again.

The Times is very much excited. 1t accuses
us of favoring NEGRO supremacy in the
State, and argues that the Grant Republicans
desire to Africanize the country. This Jour-
nal has become the premium incendary of our
State. It's arguments are devoid of reason.
In the face of facts which are plain to even
a casual observer, it wilfully misrepresents a
large class OF citizens who, equal under the
law, comport themselves most respectfully,
labor under scorching sun on our plant;-
tons, and evince an untiring desire to inn
prove their intellects, and learn the science
OF government. Almost the only working
population in. the State, and forming fully
one-half of the voters, it is amazing that the
colored people have acted with so much
modesty. When elevated to Office, they have
filled their posts with as much dignity, and
performed the Oner0jls duties devolving upon
them as faithfully as their white fellow-offi-
Gals. Look at Warmoth and Dunn, and
draw a contrast. Has the the breath of sus-
picion ever been raised against the lamented
deceased Lieutenant Governor? Unlike his
co-laborer, his purity of character was admit
ted by all men? No charges of fraud-no
accusations Of speculation on the knowledge
his position gave him--nO We'll claims were
paid because he was personally or pecuniarily
Interested? Dying poor, he left his widow
and her orphaned children priceless legacy,
which will be remembered when the ill-gOt-
ten gains ofMr. Wannoth will have lost their
power. But why multiply instances or in
dulge in contrasts? The c0lored oflice-hOld-
ers OF Louisiana, since the emancipation pro-
clamation of Mr.. Lincoln, will in honesty,
integrity, and ability compare favorably with
the acts of the men who assail them.
The absurdity of negro supremacy would
prevent its ever becoming possible. And the
editor OF the Times, in the interest of agitation
and disquietude, by his continued bitter oppo-
sition to the cOlored race, and in his eager
ness to prevent their enjoyment of their legal
rights, does more to prevent proper under-
standing between the white and colored peo-
pie than all the other carpet.baggers COM
bmed, who may crate nightly to Radical au-
diences in cur clubs.
We want emigration, and as colored men
are the best workers we can find for our PLAN
tatlons, we would gladly welcome in our
midst the arrival of twenty thousand more.
Every spadeful of earth that is upturned by
an honest laborer is of more value than all
the Incendlary blcatings of the hundreds of
spectators who have sought Louisiana with
the sole view of creating dissenson so that
they may profit thereby. The very worst,
and the most dangerous of all other selfish
speculations, is that which, feeding upon
mems prejudices, is based upon a war of
races. Many men grew rich by the misfor-
tunes of others during the late internecne
war, but base indeed would be the wealth
coined out of a deadly contest between the
white and colored man, with the plains of
Louisiana for the battle-ground. Or
