Consistency q Jewel.

The colored people Of Phila-
delphia insist upon it that the
President shall bestow on one of
their race a vacant revenue CON-
missionship. They ''annoy almost
to death" the occupant of the
White House with their petitions
and complaints, and one newspaper
observes that Erred Dent, the door
keeper, has been more disguised
with this delegation than with
any that has been around the
place" In fact Mr.. Dent, who is
of course an impecunious relative
of President Grant, turns up his
dainty nostrils at the Africans,
and mathematics them in a man
ner that renders very cheerful
indeed, the ancient gentleman
"down, down, below" who is sup
posed to control The sulphur
market. This is exceedingly i'm
prudent conduct, considering that
the colored vote is claimed al
most exclusively by the friends
of the federal administration.
Mr. Dent, the usher at the
White House, must be taken in
hand and taught the impolicy of
expressing his notion SO frankly
on a topic SO delicate. Consisten-
cy is a jewel, we are told; and as
President Grant declares a colored
man to be as good as any white
one, (any white one not related
TO the Dent and Grant families,
we mean,) how can he embrace
them only when they carry re-
publican ballots to the polls, and
spurn them with contempt when
they carry to him petitions for
official recognition?

nominated there would have been
other Democratic papers of equal
ability andinfuence opposed to the

nine tenths Of the Democrats are
favorable to the endorsement of
Greeley, we do not feel justified
in opposing him, and the fact that
one hundred and seventeen Dem
ocrats (all there were) in" the
Connecticut legislature voted for a
Republican of sixteen years stand
ing for the purpose of securing
honest legislation, we are firmly
convinced that if Greeley is er-
dorsed at Baltimore the Democrat

vote for him in November. The

leaders. Four years ago the

Commandments for Sun
day.
For the Fayetteville Observer.

I'D. OBSERYER-FOr the benent
of those who do the things herein
forbidden, are these command
ments given.
Thou shalt not, 0 map, remain
in bed longer than on other morn
ings. Thou shalt not black thy
boots-nor shave thy face-nor
go after thy stock that went astray
last spring-por make trade of
any kind. Thou hast had six
days in which to attend to these
things. Don't forget the conse-
quenceS of Israers mamma gathered
on the Sabbath. If thy OK falleth
into the ditch on the Sabbath day,
thou shalt pull him out; but thou
shalt not labor six days to rush
him IN.
Thou shalt attend church; and
when thou art there, thou shalt
not lie down on thy seat-nor
sleep-nor snore with thy mouth
open-nor in any way show In
difference. God will not be Knocked
in the assembly of his saints.
When thou doest such things thou
showeSt but little respect for the
Lords house--less for the preach
er, and none for thyself. If thou
hast a wife and children give all
necessary attention to them.
Thou shouldst not gaze at the la
dies too much. Hast thou not
learned that all their Sunday
morning toilets, and wardrobes,
are to the intent, that they
might not be seen at church?
Thou shalt not gainsay or criticise
the sermon. If the minister is in
good earnest, he will preach a
better sermon, by far, than thou
canst preach.
Moreover, thou shalt not leg
plug tobacco of thy neighbor to
besmear the aisles of the church.
Squirt guns should not be used in
such a place. When the benedic-
ton is pronounced, thou shalt not
run over the little folks, nor jolt
old people to hoist a timely wing
to her, whose permission thou hast
not obtained. If thou art a man
of business, and hast a wife and
little ones, thou shouldst spend the
evening in their company. If
thy wife is worthy of thee, thou
hast nothing to Recommend thee
to the society Of others without
her. Thy children are glad when
they can spend a Sabbath evening
with thee. Let pity weep over
the children of the man, whose
selfish nature cause them to 60 in
to ecstacies, when he goes from
home on Sunday evening. Thou
shalt read the billie, and teach its
precepts to thy own children, be.
fore thou attemptest to teach the
children Of other people. Think
ing people know where duty be.
gins, and thou oughest to know
where influence ends. Finally
examine thyself carefully in the
light of reason and inspiration; so
shalt thou have the pleasure of
not being accused of God and
hated by men.
If thou wilt hearken to these
things-taking. heed to thy ways,
thou shalt feel better than thou
wouldst to break the least of these
commandments; ard at the end of
thy natural life. thou wilt have
good hope Of going up the golden
stairway, into a country whose
day is Il Sabbath Of endless Joy
and peace, TRIP.
