The Silent Captain.

one OF the commanders of the Cunard line
OF steamers, plying, several years ago. be-
tween Boston and Liverpool, was known as
1.-THE silent captain" He wasted no words
upon passengers, and said little to ANYBODY
during the entire voyage of three thousand
miles. But If he was neither talkative nor
GENIAL, ne was master of his profession, and
people who took passage in his ship felt that
all the care and skill which could be en-
ployed for their safety would be exerted.
For the silent captain was so nearly ON
nipresent as is possible for human being.
Day and night he was upon the lookout, and
when upon his bed, and in slumber, was be-
leved to have one eve open and an ear i'll
tent to catch the first sound of an approach
ing tempest.
A duplicate of this silent, quiet, and skill
full commander is found at Washington. in
the person of President Grant His comneti-
tor has travelled two thousand miles. and
made score of speeches, to express what
Grant did in four words: "Let us have
peace" The air is full of base lies concern
ing this quiet man, but he notices them not,
trusting his reputation and political DESTINY
to the justice of his countrvmen. And he
will not be disappointed. President Lincoln
said, when he presented Grant with a COM
mission as general of the armies '"rhe ma
TONS appreciation OF what you have already
done, and its reliance upon you for what
still remains to be done, are now presented
to you with this commission. As the country
herein trusts you, so. under God, it will sus-
tain you.' Years have passed since those
words were spoken, but they have not lost
their force. The country will sustain this
quiet, transformations, and diligent public
servant, and his revilers will be discounted
and put to shame.-iadependem On. H.

The following is said to be the oath taken
by every Jesuit upon his introduction TO the

dangerous class, and it is no wonder that
even Roman Catholic governments, and even

pei them from their borders:

named Protestants, or obedience to any of
their inferior magistrates or officers. i do
further declare the doctrine of the Church of

Last, but by no means least, is the
MINERvIAN CLUB:

or, Musical Contortionists :" or, "Mucl
iClassic," &C., SC. This, the youngest, both
IS to age of the club and of the individual
MEMBERS, is very, very select; and, being
= mtdeled like the great London clubs, the
membership is limited to specified number
OF ladies' and gentlemen. They seek to cul-
tlvate music and literature, music and dane
ing, music and eating, music and converse
tion, music and music, and music and music.
vi course it would be odd if they did not
vary the proceedings occasionally by little
more music. When this Circle first organ
| lied, the young ladies generously provided
the good things of the season, so that we
u beg pardon, that slippedD had a feast for
the body, flow for the soul, and music.
We submitted to the latter for the sake of
the former, and when the first stopped the
music lost its charms.
have read that great composer Way-
den, thnk) was engaged to write a grand
descriptive piece of music for a Berlin direc-
tor. He succeeded very well until he was
told to initiate a storm at sea. Never having
experienced such scene, he found it inn
possible, until throwing up his hands in de-
spair, his arms fell at full length on the |
keys" That's it! that's it!' shouted the
excited director, and the composer was a |
happy man.
Few of the members of this club understand
or know what is music, and the rattlety-bane
and clatterty-cang of Matchmaking machine,
save in the matter of quantity, is equal to
their most sublime efforts. Some few, how
ever, have musical ear, both by nature and
cultivation; but alas! for the efforts they
make to educate their friends. "It's casting
pearl before swine"
Well, the eating stopped, and so did we,
and designations have begun to come in from
these long-suffering members who failed to
the discrimination in favor of mu-
sic and against eating. And this reminds
|ne of the philosophical saying of the "Au-
focrat of the Breakfast Table," that young
|nen are particularly susceptible to the influ-
ince of a good dinner, or, in short, more men
Re caught by the belly than by the brains.
DEPUGH.
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-10-24

The Honorable Horace Greeley should be
cordially congratulated upon his defeat in the
present campaign. The Vice President elect
IN 1857 was preferred by his electors to the
President they had chosen, and the death of
the latter was in consequence nearly con-
summated. The same combination of cir
cumstances existed in relation to the same
people when the immortal Lincoln fell. 1t
need hardly be affirmed that Mr.. Greeley
would prove more distasteful to that people
than would "the conservative" Mr.. Graft
Brown. Thanks to Heaven for preserving
MIR. Greeley from such fate, and our coun.
try from the re-enactment of so base a crime
as assassination, with all the evils that would
be sure to follow thereupon. The Vice Pres
ident-elect in 1873 will offer no temrtation
to the violators of law and the enemies of
Republican rule. -.

that to be true, (Which we do not. else
1t would read, "All colored persons born ana
naturazed," &c., and what do we see
Not a colored woman in these United States
has as yet been allowed to vote. She has
not even been instructed in regard to her
right to the franchise, and taken out to the
polls, as were the colored men. Why
was this: Was it not that politicians
were aware that should they inform the
colored women that the Fourteenth and Fif-
| teenth Amendments eniranchiscd Them. and
that they had the same right to vote that the
colored men have that they could no longer
refuse to let white women citizens exercise
the same rights, as according to these amend
ments all citizens of the United States, of
| whatever race or color, are entitled to the
right OF franchise: In protecting the colorcd
women citizens in the exercise of their RIGHT
to vote, they are bound to protect the white
women citizens in the exercise of the same
rights, step in advance which they were
were not quite ready to take.
That the right to vote was intended TO he
given to colored women as well as to colored
men, is proven by the way in which the Fiji
teenth Amendment reads. 1t saws: s'The
right of citizens to vote shall not be denied |
on account of race, color, or previous condi- |
ten OF servtude.' 1t does not say. "the |
right OF male citizens to vote" &C., but saws. |
citizens, (Which means all citizens.) of
whatever race, color, or SEX" Now, what
L want to urge upon the cOlored class of our
citizens is, that as the Fourteenth and FiE
teenth Amendments to the Constitution
give the cOlored women the unmstakable
right to vote, that they see to it that their
mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters are
as fully protected in the exercise of that
right as they themselves are. 1t is a GROSS
injustice that the colorcd women have so
long been deiraudcd of their right to vote.
Somebody must take the lead in this matter.
and see no better way to bring the subject
before the people than for the New Ma
TIoNAL ERA (the paper above all others de-
voted to the elevation of the colored race)
to take the question up, and insist on the
full enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fif-
tccnth Amendments to the Constitution of I
the United States.
