of the frivolous preteXt5 of violating
the ku-Klux law, who were taken by
the United States Marshal5 from the
Capitol a few moments before the scs-
sion of the Legislature, in order to en-
able an INSCRIPTIONS minority in the
House to cXpel enough members in the
interim to allow them to carry out
their schemes Of revolution and Vio-
lence-
By aiding, supporting and indorsing
these cOnspirators, General Grant has
voluntarily assumed the responsible
ty Of their actions. Not only this, but
he has treated all remonstrance with
supreme contempt. Actuated solely
by ambition and the spirit of aggran-
dizement, he has been ever prompt
to use United States bayonets in support
of his own selfish purposes. He has
maintained in offices men notoriously
incompetent and inimicial to both the
interests of the party and those of the
community at large. He has never
hesitated to trtmple upon or set aside
the principles of the Republican party
when they interfered with his private
aims Or desires. III fact, he recognizes
his public and political duty as subor-
dinatc to his personal interests.
These arc some of the considerations
that impcl us to recommend a partici-
patton in the proceedings Of the con-
vention at Cincinnati, and there to take
such action as wisdom and patriotism
may dictate.
This convention will be composed OF
many of the leading minds of the Re-
publican party, and is exclusively a
gathering of the members of that party.
Many of those who will be present have
made illustriOus records of devotion to
Republican principles, and are histori-
cally identified with the prOudcst of
Republican triumphs. But they will
be men of independent character and
fearless purposc-not prepared to bow
the knee to I5aal of a personal despot-
isn-nlcn who arc in favor Of a Repub-
lican government in the United States,
and who believe we are in supreme
peril of losing it.

Pinclback Oh Grant.

The gentleman appears to have I'M
dergone some excitement in regard to
my remarks about Mr.. Sumner. One
OF the gentlemen who stated that he

party! If the Cincinnati Convention
was to nominate Charles Sumner for

and Grants, I,ro,tiH Sustain him. am
not afraid to state my platform, and !
do not care for him any more than if
he was the humblest black man. The
President Of this Convention, who has
been appointed an officer by Grant,
has now in his pockets instructions to
see that the Convention goes right.
MIR. lngraham-I have no such
instructions from Gen. Grant
Mr.. Pinchback-I do not suppose
you have them personally from him.
l do not suppose he is such Il mummy;
but you have them from his brother
in-law. [Applause.7
Mr.. Ingraham--l have not. / have

Mr.. Pinchback-NOu have; YOU

and the colored people that ] for one
do not intend to be intimidated by him.
a gentleman has stated here that
there is no one else to support but Gen.
Grant. ! can name a great many gen
tiemen of Republican principles much
better to support than Gen. Grant.
He also says that he is the only one who
has protected us. I cannot sec this. We
are a free people and must protect our
selves. Besides, there are many things
in connection with him that l, as Il
colored man, do not like. When Mr..
Douglas, Il colored man, went to see
him, he snubbcd him because he was

TO Whom it May Concern.

The following from the Columbus
! (Ga.) sun will ago homc' to many
Il reader:
One of the s:,udest features Of the times
is the difference which many seem to
feel in regard to the payment of their
just debts, and the consequent destruc-
ton thereby Of public confidence he
! tween man and man. The time was
when southern men considered their
money obligations sacred and their
word was their bond, Then cases of
dishonesty and rascality We're eXcep-
tional, and all business relations We're
more safe and reliable. During the
few years our people have, to an alarm
ing extent, become too loose in their
notions of business integrity, and man
seldom knows nowadays upon whom
he can safely count. This is a sad state
of affairs, and is doing more to curtail
business and to distract and ruin con-
tidencc than any other cause. If all
would make an honest effort to pay
their debts, we should soon witness Il re-
ViVat i'll all branches Of industry, and
the cry OF hard times would become
far less frequent.
Debt is Il bad master, and to get rid
Of it people should he willing to sacri-
flee luxurious dressing and living, and
to even encounter the pangs of self-dc
NAL and modification. Though Il
commonplace truth it is no less II veri-
ty that honesty in rags is more reputa-
BILE than dishonesty in gold and purple.
No man has Il right to lavish upon
himself and family money which justly
belongs to another, nor even to risk
the sam, in uncertain investments
with the hope of bcttcring his condi-
ton. Nor docs the fact that Il mans
creditor may not, ut the time it is due,
absolutely need such amounts, lessen
the obligation of the debtor to pay
promptly. The failure TO pay one sum
due may thW:rt the payment of a hun

panic, and depreciation of public cred

be kept III circulation, and were all in

debts, great and small, we should soon
witness y revival OF business and return
OF confidence. We throw out these
crude thoughts i'll the hope that they
may prove beneficial to all CLASSES of
Our community and section.

A Beginning Of Good Things.

Under this title, the New York Even
ing Post talks out brave1y, and docs
generous Justice to those of whom it
does not always speak SO WELL 1t is
in the impu1sive earnestness of such
utterances that we see the surest signs
OF that great political re-union-the CO.
operation of the patriotic of all parties
against a common enemy-which the
immediate future promises:
When the Democrats of the House
Of Representative yesterday applaud
ed the defeat Of the proposal for talk
ing a million of dollars out Of the pOcl>-
cts Of our over taxed people to put it
in the pockets of a few capitalists, call
ing themselves the Pacific Mail Com
pany, they only anticipated the plautl-
its Of the just-minded men of the ma
ton. 1t was one of those unmistaka-
BILE outburst ofjoy which follow a decd
well done, and which will have its
echoes where ever justice is respected
and the principals of sound govern
nent have sway. 1t was in fact put
ting ring in the nose of the Behc-
moth OF corruption, whose heavy tread
has been heard in all the lobbies, and
whose fatal breath was polluting the
whole atmosphere of legislation. Con-
gress has already given away of the
lands belonging to the people more
than two hundred millions of acres,
estimated to be worth at least two
thousand millions of dollars-nearly
the amount of the public debt-and
there are before it other projects-no
less than sixty in number-for surren-
dering equally enormous sums, either
in the shape of land grants or subsidies.
The killing of the Pacific Mail scheme
is a first shot into this prodigious body
of extravaganza, corruption, and fraud,
and if it is likely to be followed by
others, and we hope and believe it is,
the Governors of the States should
make it the occasion of tina nl1sgiving,
and the members of every church eel
citrate it with a solemn r. DruDa.

Steamboat Explosion--Eishty Persons Lost

CAIRO, LII, April 1l.--At + o'clock
this morning, the steamer bceanuS,
from Red River to st. Louis, when
near Brooks Point, thirty miles above
Cairo, exploded her boiler, blowing
her upper works almost entirely away
Immediately after which the reck took
fire and burned to the waters edge.
Mr.. Thomas, the pilot Of the steamer
John Lumsden, which was lying 4 few
miles below, on seeing the light from
the burning wreck, manned IL yawl
and proceeded up the river to ascertain
the cause.
He found a small party Of survivors
on the head of the Island, but passed
on to relieve those on the wreck. Ten
Or twelve persons were clinging to the
wheel, but the wheel dropped before
he reached there, and all but four We're
lost. He found a deck passenger, name
unknown, scalded badly, and who died
before he reached Cairo.
The steamer Belle st. Louis, bound
up took nearly all the survivors.
Harry Trip, on the watch, and Capt.
Reader, were buried III debris, and
We're heard calling desperately for help,
but the fire had gained such Roadway
that they could not be reached and
We're burned.
Mr.. Fisher, the carpenter of the illfa-
ted steamer, who reached here on the
II. NJ. ShreVc, was not seriously hurt.
He states that the second engineer,
AteNandcd Kennedy, terribly Scatded
was helpless and blind. Fisher put him
ON Il stage plank with others, but the
stage soon capsiZcd, drowning several
including Kennedy.
Charles WorSham, second clerk, Jules
| Dempcwolf, steward, and Charley Muir
ray. cabim-boy, were found dead float
ing in the river, all with life prcscrvcrS
on, and were brought here by the
steamer Shrcvc. 1t is supposed they
were chilled to death.
The officers Of the ShrcVc state that
there We're about 80 cabin and - deck
passengers on board the Ocranu~, MAX
ing, with the crew, near 100 souls,
about eighty Of whom are supposed to
have been lost; the greater portion of
the survivors being on the Belle st.
