. Distinction on Account Of Color.

There is much sound truth m the
following article from the Monthly
Revie,o, published and edited by
Hon. James Lynch, at Jackson,
Mississippi: .
eve would advise those who be-
leve it to be for the good Of the
country that distinction, in the pub
lie relations Of life, should be made
on account Of color to be consistent.
Consistency alone can protect it.
Distinction on account Of color, in
private life, depends entirely on the
will Of individuals. None but afool
would call it in question.
sDistinction on account of color
has one element Of power to sustain
it, that ofprejndice, an almost uni
versa feeling and sentiment among
the whites. It has three elements
ofpower opposing it: Reason, con-
science, and policy. The fight will
go on as long as these elements exist.
Without taking q hand in it, we say:
Let it go on. And in saying this,
it Is NO more indicated that there
should be; or will be q change Of
the identity Of races, than that pine
trees should become oak trees OF
hickory become walnut because
each grows in the same forest ol
grove, and bssks in the same sui,
with the others. .-.st;. :: -:

A Terrible Case Of Hydrophebia -Dsath
Of a Death, =. -. 20. :. 5'.:''>

The Pittston (pa:) Gasshe, gives
the following particulars of. = most
distressing caseo ofhydophobia About,
eleven weeks ago a young lady
named Cox, daughter Of miles, Cox
Of Stoddardville, went into the yard.
to hn some chickens. The dog fol-
lowed her, and picking rp one of:
the chickens ran off with it. She
chased him with q astick, to recover
it, and coming up with him he turn
ed ppon her and bit her Id the arm,
laoerating it fearfully. Her mother
and brother coming to the rescue,
were also badly bitten by the infa--
rated beast, The wounds healed,
however, and nothing more was
thought Of the matter. The young
woman was engaged to be married to
a young man living at Goldsboro,
named Alfred Kerrick, and the we'd
ding was appointed to come of at
that place about two weeks ago. On
the wedding morning as she was
about to perform her ablntions the
the sight Of water sent a shiver
through her whole system and:
frightened her, and at the breakfast,
teble' the coffee had such an effect;
upon her that she spilled tower the
table. She then complained Of feel
ing unwell, and her friends advised
her to remain at home; but she did
not want to disappoint al. and ao-
companied by q sister, proceeded to
Goldsboro,' where the wedding:
ceremony was prefomed. Imme--
aiately after this she was seized with
spasms, bearing all the Indications:
Of hydrophobia. In one ofherlucid'
intervals she warned the company
that she would bite them if they did
not keep away from her.. >:But,'
said she to her husband, "Al, you
need not beafraid, I won't bite you"
In one Of her paroxysms she bit q
lady who was endeavoring to soothe
her. It was the wife of>Doc. Hof-
man, who drives the stage from.
Goldsboro to the Sand cut on the
Delaware, Lackawana and western
railroad. Soon after assuring her
husband that she would not bite him
she was seized with commissions and,
laying back in his armr, died. For
one moment a happy bride, and:
then the victim of q horrid death.
The other members of the family
who were bitten by the dog have
not, as yet, displayed any symptoms.
of the disease, but they live in hour
y dread.

ROQMS STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Republican Party: State of Louis
lana, New Orleans, March 18, 1872.
TO the Republican State Of Louis
lana
The Republican State Central
Committee having, in the discharge
of the duties imposed upon it by
the last State Convention, arrived
at the regular period which has
been set apart by the usages Of the
party for it's State Conventions, and
having authorized its President to
issue the usual CALL. therefore deem
the occasion suitable to address
these brief remarks upon the politi-
cal situation to their fellow Repub-
licans. The quadrenpial election
for a President OF the United States
occurs this year. The election OF
this high officer of the Republic,
whose character and political views
are SO important, especially to the
Republicans OF the South, and whose
selection almost decides our politi-
cal fate for the next four years, and
perhaps the whole future, makes
this election one Of the deepest and
most vital interest to all our people.
We feel that we speak their unanim-
ous sentiment when we invite them
to respond to the call of the National
Republican Committee, and advise
them to send o,lr best representa-
tive men to the Philadelphia Con-
vention, to help in selecting tried,
true and unfinching Republican to
be our next President. Our State
election is also of the greatest i'm
portance. We have to elect a Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secre-
tary Of State, Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts, Superintendent Of Public
Education, Attorney General, a new
General Assembly, and Representa-
tives in Congress. In fact, this
election is to determine q question
still more important to us than
who shall be the next President. Il
is to determine for the next four
years whether the State government
shall be Republican or Democratic !;
in favor Of equal rights, or against
them !; in favor Of progress, educa-
ton and improvement for all peo-
pie, black as well as white, or in
favor only of white progress educa-
ton and improvement, and opposed
to equal advantages for the black
people ; whether we shall retain all
that We have won and 60 forward,
or whether we shall lose all and 60
back to where we were at the close
of the war.
We wish plainly and distinctly to
understand the fact that all parties
opposed to the Republican party,
whether under the name Of Demo
Gratis, Reformers, Peoples party, or
any other title whatever, are simply
the old Democratic party under q
new name, and have for their OBJ
ject but one thing, that is to throw
the State government out of the
control of the Republican party and
into the hands of their enemies.
Our people will also see that to de-
feat the strong and determined eff
forts Of the enemy to again get
control of the State, one thing ia
the great essential, that all Repub-
licans shall be UNITED AND
WORK TOGETHER. IF we do
this, victory is certain.
To this end We cordially invite all
true and earnest Republicans, With

disaster and odium of the slave
holders" rebellion, so surely viii il
one day again drench the land with

The difference between 'republi.
canism and democracy is twofold
It relates to the fundamental prin.
ciples Of any true government, and
then to the Interpretation of the
constitution. What and wherein
is the ultimate security for personal
rights? Republicans answer: "1n
the will and power Of the whole peo-
pie, put forth in national law
Democrats respond: mo, that is
perilous to liberty; its real security
is in the enaotnents Of the people
of a state. The citizens rights are
safer with his local legislature. :"
Out ofthis divergence come the op-
posite views. Of the constitution.
That instrument was created in the
strife Of precisely these conflicting
views as to'@the ultimate guaranty
Of rights, and It was as much q tri-
umph Of the republican view as are
the later amendments, with the pro-
visions for their national enforcement. Ac-
cordingly republicans construe its avowed
intentions, ITO form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense and secure the
blessings Of liberty" to every citi-
zen. In SO constituting it,. they
adopt the eom1hon-sense principle
so well expressed by Justice Story
more than thirty years ago, when
speaking Of the preamble at which
it is the won't of democrats to sneer
as not properly a part Of the con-
stitution, he wrote: "This preamble
is very important, not only as ex-
planatory of the motives and OBJ
jects Of framing the constitution,
but as afording the best key to the
true Interpretation therefore. For
it may well be presumed that the
language used will be in conformity
to the motives which govern the
parties, and the objects to be at
tanned by the instrument. Every
provision in the instrument may
therefore fairly be presumed to have
reference to one or more of these
objects. And consequently, if any
provision is susceptible of two in
terpretations,- that ought to. be
adopted and adhered to which best
harmonizes with the avowed inten-
tions and objects of the authors as
gathered from their declarations in
the instrument itself" f."-Miswuri

How the Blind have Fallen.
After the war of the rebellion
closed certain high strong Southern
people concluded that they could nc
longer live in = country that was
subjected to the despotism Of gov
erning itself. Their self-respect re-
fused to maintain itself. in q com
munity that allowed negroes all the
rights of citizenship. Some Of these
people went to- Brazil, where they
proposed to regain their favorite
institution of slavery in bloom as it
had Aourished in the South. They
had to be brought home at the ex-
pense of the government they de-
serted and despised. Others went
to Belize. Honduras, only to dis
cover that there the negro was a
greater favorite than they could
ever hope to be. Others went to
Mexico, and we're confounded by
being subjected to negro officers.
A large colony sought comfort and
absence in Peru. The latest news
from this latter colony represents
the Southern fugitives in Peru as
being in the most forlon condition.
They never realized a single bless
ing that they hoped for in their
fight. The climate was against
them, the. language was against
them, their lack of enterprise was
against them, they had no capacity
to work, the wages were merely
nominal, the people were strangers
to them and to their ways of life, and.
now they constitute a little colony
in that far off country that is really
pitiable to look upon. Most of these
Southerners have become intem-
perate, dissolute, debauched. They
live in the most squalid quarter of
the city Of Lima, hangers-on about
a whisky-shop that flaunts the sign
Of 'Dixie's Land over it's deathly
portals. =.
The New York World furnishes
us with this news from our Peruvian
refugees, and strange to say no ac-
cusing conscience agitates the Or
gans of the Democracy. to attempt
to rescue the desolate men whose
minds they poisoned with their per-
nicious teachings until they fled
from land they were made to be-
lieve was accursed. Half the South
was ready at one time to seek in
self-banishmentth the safety and peace
that they were told no longer be
found in the United States. And
now the same terrible stories are
repeated to distract and unsettle
other weak and unredecting citizens.
Night and morning the dismal song
is sung that the country is being
ruined, liberty is being trampled un-
der foot, ignorance is being put
above intelligence, vice raised above
virture. All of which is false, or else
the men who say do are false to
their own honor and self-respect
that they SO not take themselves
and their families beyond the reach
of the desolation and wickedness
which they preach about. Verify it
isa heavy load they have upon"their
souls who have thus driven some to
despair and others to the grave
lbervtl2e Neaus.

How a Ounce Became a Statesman.,

The following story is told Of the.

was teacher Of youth One day,
seventy odd years. ago, a. boy was
brought to him Of whom the ae-
count given was that he was incor-
corrigible Ounce, that none Of his
masters had been able to make any
thing Of him; and he was brought
to Mr.. Towne as a last. experiment..
before apprenticing him to a me-
chanicd trade. The next morning
Mr.. Towne proceeded to examine
him, preparatory to entering upon
his instruction At the first mis-
take he lodged on one side, with
every sign Of terror. "Why do you
do that?" asked the master. BE-
cause I was afraid you were going
to strike me-" ''Why should fyoo
think so?'' Because ! have a1wsys,
been struck whenever I made q mis-
take" ssYou need never fear being
struck by me-" said Mr.. Towns .
'That is not my way Of treating
boys who do as well al they can" {"
The lad soon improved rapidly yun7
