READ AND PONDRE.

We invite the careful attention
of old anti-slaYery men, to the fol
lowing extract from the minority
report on the Ku Klux investiga.
ton. 1t was presented to the
Congress only eight or nine
months ago, and was signed by
representatives Cox, Beck, Van
Trump, Waddle, Robinson, and
Hanks, and Senators Baird and
Blair. All these men are support
ers of Mr.. Greeley, and Frank
Blair is well known to have been
largely instrumental in securing
his nomination. Here is the ex-
tract:
But while the negroes of the
South have position and power in
the administration of public af-
fairs, now who can say, who can
look into the future so clearly as
to enable him to say, how this I'M
natural state of things will last?
No one is SO president as to be
able to fix the period of its dura-
ton; but it must end somehow
and at sometime, not in the distant
future. No philosophic thinker
will doubt it is altogether too alb
normal-too much opposed to in
stinctive feelings, some will say
prejudices of the white race, to en-
dure beyond popular opinion
brought about by war prosecut-
ed in and for the freedom, if not
the acknowledgements of the negro.
Gradually in time, and under q
change of circumstances, this ex-
ceptional state of popular mind
will wear out and pass away, and
public opinion will vibrate back to
its old condition, as it existed pri-
or to the disturbing influence of
the war. This will be brought
about by one of two things; eth
er by a rupture of the government
itself, or the springing up of a
new and all-powerful party oat of
the ruins of existing political or
CARNATIONS. When either of these
two things shall occur-and God
grant it may not be the first-it
will be the political death of the
negro On this continent, so far as
it relates to his future solidity.
As a race commingled with the
whites within the Union, he will
be in a worse condition than he
was in state of slavery, for the
inevitable tendency will be to Sc
gregate him from the white race,
and if not transported to some
other country, he will slowly but
surely pass away, like aborigines,
and his place among US, like that
Of the Indian, will be known no
more forever.
Remember that this is from
carefully prepared official docu-
ment-it is no stump speech. If
you do not want public opinion to
"vibrate back to its old condition."
it would not seem to be the part of
wisdom to unite with the men
who have predicted it, and are
now striving to verify their proph-
ecies.

A GREAT AND WORTHY EXAM
PLE.-There was one thing about
VIM. III. Seward which deserves to
be remembered in these degener-
ale times, and that was his person
al integrity. During his whole
term of public life, covering a pc
Rod of not less than forty years,
whether as a member of the New
York Legislature, Governor for
two terms of that state, Senator
in Congress or Secretary of State,
no man ever uttered q whisper
against his personal character, no
man ever suspected him of profit
ing a single penny by his position.
To him public Office was a sacred
trust, and he would sooner have
died than prostitute it to purpos-
es of private gain. Such a char
acter ought not to be rare in our
country and under our form OF
government; yet it is rare, and
daily becoming more and more
so. All our other dangers pale
before the baleful glow of official
corruption. This is the canker that
is gnawing at the yitals of the re-
public. It is a matter of congrat.
ulation that the great name and
fame of VIM. II. Seward are per.
petual rebuke and protest agains!
this evil, a perpetual monitor OF
the possibility of perfect honesty
in public life.-Lawrence Republi.

THREE W1scoNsIN GIR1s NJ

THREE WISCONSIN GIRLS MAKE
A SENSATION IN MUSICAL CIRCLES
IN New YoRK.-There recently ar
rived in this city from the West,
three remarkably prepossessing
young ladies, who have. set out in
the true Western spirit to seek
their fortunes. They are sisters,
and left Racine, Wisconsin, to-
gether to go to Chicago, that emf
nent seat of learning and art; for
they had made up their minds to
be artists-that is, vocal artists.
Some stray glinpses were caught
of them afterward as they sang
their way slowly eastward and de-
lighted the towns that lay in their
way with pure breezy voices, and
free, buoyant style. Finally they
reached New York, and here they
purpose to keep advancing in their
studies unaided and unmanaped.
Their spirit and independence are
commendable. Unlike so manv
of their sex, they did not talk
about opportunities and gifts. but
gathering their skirts about them.
they set out to seek the opportu-
nifty and develop the gift. The
three prairie Graces deserve ali

NOBLE EXPRESSIONS.

When relieved from the response
bilities of my present trust by the
election of a successor, whether il
be at the end of this term or next,
l hope to leave to him the country
at peace within its own borders, at
peace with outside nations, with
credit at home and abroad, and
without embarrassing questions to
threaten its future prosperity. With
the expression of a desire to see a
speedy healing of all bitterness OF
feeling between the sections, parties
and races of citizens, and the time
when the title of ''citizen" carries
with it all the protection and privi-
lege to the humblest that 1t does to
the most exalted, I subscribe myself,
very respectfully, your obedient
servant.-ULYssEs S. GRANT.
To guard we'll what has already
been secured, to work out faithful
1y and wisely what is now in hand,
and to consider the questions which
are looming up to view but a little
way before us, the Republican party
is to-day what it was in the gloomy
years of slavery, and rebellion, and
reconstruction, O national necessity.
1t appeals, therefore, for support to
the patriotic and Iiberty-Ioving, to
the just and humane, to all who
would dignity labor, to all who
would educate, elevate and Tighten
the burdens of the sons and daugh-
tiers of toil.-HESRY WILSON.

POLITICS In MISSOURI.

DEAR News: We hope q word
from Wsverly will not fail to be
given place in your columns or
prove TO be uninteresting to your
many readers. What we wish to
say win be concerning the prospects
of Missouri in the pending election.
We were considerably surprised
when a man ftom South Carolina
attempted to make speeches for
Greeley at every railway station as
he passed along On the cars, to hear
from the crowds thronging the de-
pots and platforms, hissings, groan-
ings, and cheers for Grant and Will
SON. However much Mr.. Greeley
may have helped Jefferson Davis,
ameliorated the condition of the me-
groes, or benefited the South, yet he
is not unanimously the choice of the
people of Missouri. We always
like to acknowledge merit wherever
1t may be found; we admire Mr.
Greeley as profound scholar and
great journalist; we give him
credit for all he is or all he has
done; we would not stoop to slang
or criticism; we take NO pleasure in
hearing him called boor, an idiot,
or crazy man; but we shall OPP
pose him most heartily in the COM
ing election. We think he has tax
en- the wrong step in the campaign
for 1872. If we ever have followed
him we can follow him no further.
The Democrats and Liberals are |
terribly troubled over the loss of
Pennsylvania. They were calculat-
ing largely on Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana but since Pennsylvania
ia lost, hope is dying within them.
They begin to shake away down in
their boots, draw on long faces, and
say to one another, in an under
tone, "we are beaten" We don't
wish them any harm, but hope their
humble fruitions may be realized
sad defeat or an inglorious fizzle;
for God only knows what would be
the result if they are successful.
The Caucasian, a foul-mouthed
rebel sheet published at Lexington,
Missouri, has the following for its
platform and ticket for 1872:
PlatfOrm-"Opposition to the
lanyard Boor and his horde of
hungry kim"
Ticket-"Horace Greeley and
Glatz Brown, Cox, Trumbull, Palm
sr, or the Devll-anything to beat
Ulysses the Gift-taker."
We heard man say a few days
Igo, eff Grant is elected I'll go to
if have to work my
before I'll live in such a
as this" We think he
will get to work his passage. 1t
loes not take much thought to dis
;oVer the principles or motives of
Iuch men Gf they have any. It is
he spirit that was manifested be-
ore the war. So long as they hold
he reins they are satisfied; but so
Ioon as they are wrested from them,
We have secession and rebellion.
Missouri, we believe, is a fair ex-
,onent of the strength of the Lib
rails and Democrats in the Southern ,
States, and she has a great many
Inxiously waiting till the 9TH of j
November to poll their votes for

THE SUNDAY CONCERTS.

The concert last night at the Grand opera House
was popular success, Rubinsten and Wieniawski
filing the immense theatre In every part. The
great Russian pianist played with his accustomed
briiancy, but the honors Of the evening fairly
carried Off by the Polish violinist, who gave the
"Carnival OF Venice" for an encore. Classical
music has its votares but the popular heart beats
more readily at hearing the popular pieces. 1t was
consequently great treat to many persons to hear
familiar air by SO great an artist. The genuine
