the colored man are TO be left TO The lcgis-
lation of the southern states, without con-
gressioual Intervention, he would under a
democratic administration he deprived of
the right Of suffrage in less than two years,
and he would be very lucky II he escaped
some form of chattel slavery or peonage.
And in proof Of this danger l might quote
volumes of wisdom and warning from the
speeches of Charles Sumner!
When, therefore, you point out TO the col
ored men that their rights will be safe in
the hands of the democratic party, you de-
lude and misl aad them-I do not say will
fully, but none the less really. The small
handful Of republicans compared with the
whole mass-who unite with Yourself and
Mr. Greeley In going ov,r TO the democra-
tic party, cannot leaven that lump of polili-
cal unsoundness, even If You preserve
your own original principles in tho contact.
The administration of Mr. Greeley, there
fore, should he be elected, would be in the
whole and In detail democratic admins
traton, and you would be compelled TO 20
with the current or repent aud turn back
when too late TO mend the evil you had
done. Your argument that Horace Gree
ley does not become democrat by recev-
ing democratic s-illuStrating IL by the
analogy of your own election to the Senate
is hardly pertinent. The point Is not
what Mr. Greeley will become personally,
but what will be the complexion of the
great legislative branch of the government
with all its vast controlling power. You
know very well, Mr. Sumner, that If Mr.
Greeley is elected president, Congress Is
handed over to the control of the pan ~ who
have persistently denied the rights of the
black man. What course you will pursue
toward the colorcd man is of small conse-
quence after you have transferred the
power of government to his enemy!
The coored men of this country are not
ms a class enlightened; but they have Won
derful instincts and when they read your
| letter they will know that at Il great crisis
in their fate you deserted them. Char.c
Sumner cooperating with jefferson Davis
Is not the same Charles Sumner they have
hitherto idolzed-any more than Horace
Greeley, chcored to the echo in Tammany
hall, is the same Horace Greeley whom the
republicans have hitherto trusted. The
black men of this country will mover he
ungrateful for what you have done for
them in the past-nor, in the bitterness oi
their hearts, will they ever forget that,
heated and blinded by personal hatred oil
one man, you turned your back on the
millions to whom in past years you have
stood as a shield and bulwark of defense

1t has beeen reported in adjoining
towns that nearly every young man in
this town "drinks"-which means he uses
intoxicating liquor as beverage. But
such is not the case here. There are
great many of our young men who do not
use the article except for medical pur-
poses. We are well aware that many
young men have obtained bad name,
just by imbibing too freely of "fire-water,"
or reduced acids, ofen making beasts of
themselves, only for the fun of it. Ii any
of this last class think that water will rot
their stomachs as it does the soles of their
boots, they ought 10 realize that there are
other liquids that can spoil leather, as
well as their stomachs, ten times as quick
as water can-if il can. They ought to
think, too, that by failing to respect them
selves, they lose the respect of others and,
must we say 1t, they are often a reproach
and disgrace to their best friends. 1t is an
established fact that young ladies have a
great influence over young men, and we
think they ought to exercise their magic
power In the right direction, for the sooner
the wrong is rlghted the easier is 1t accom-
plished, and perhaps some great disgrace
or misfortune will be averted. 1t seems
that the true cause of so much folly and
injury is owing to Two principal reasons
that of temptation aud that of human weak
ness. Nearly every one has had trials of
being very weak, mentally, and unhappy F;
aud when a stmulant is readily obtained
it is usually resorted to, paying no regard
to the physical results to the body, much
less the affect on the mind. AS all cases
ought to have remedy, people in this case
must either strengthen themselves so as 10

1t is exultingy announced by the New

Horace Greeley had veninred into Georgia

hanged on the nearest lamp-post; now his

oTBE LITTLE END OF NOTHING"


The Liberal Republican movement in one OF
its aspects may be considered as bolt from
the tyranny of q despotc party organization,
which had outlived its usefulness and aban-
doned the aims of its existence. A few Free
Traders bolted from that bolt, and, as the out
growth of their movement, called conference
in New-YOrk. Even here the overwhelming
sentiment was still in favor of the Cincinnati
ticket. Thereupon the irrecOncilables bolted
again and mustered yesterday in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel twenty-four strong. From these
came presently another bolt. Gen. Jacob d.
Cox gave formal notice that he could not per-
nit his name to be used in any movement
the sole result of which would be to
aid in the reelection of Gen. Grant !;
and Mr.. David A. Wells, making no speech.
silently took his hat and departed. The rem
nants of this miniature bolt from the Free
Trade bolt from the Cincinnati bolt, fell then
into a drizzle of talk, whence finally oozed a
Presidential ticket 1t was supported on the
day of its nomination by precisely twenty-five
men in the United States. To-day it may
have the support of something like eighteen
or nineteen. In a fortnight or so it will prob
ably sink peacefully out of sight 1T would
be an entirely safe contract, any day. next
week, to undertake to put all the voters in
the United States supporting it into pair of
Fifth-ave. stages, and give them ample room
Yet we are sincerely sorry to see the name
of so good man as William s. Groesbeck
thus abused. The future has doubtless recog
milton and honor for gentleman so upright
and able always, so true friend of the
country during the war, and 80 sagacious
since. No friend of Mr.. Fred. Law 0lmsted
can fail to regret that his name too has been
made ridiculous in this preposterous fooling.
The Fifth Avenue Conference was called to
unite the opposition to Gen. Grant. In large
measure it did so. 1t did more. 1t developed
unexpected strength for the Cincinnati ticket,
brought out ex-Vice-President Foster of Con-
necticut, dispersed the misrepresentation about
Carl Schurz, and brought several prominent
Democratic leaders to the front. But, as we
have said, there remained nearly score of
irreconcilables-few of them having either
public recognition, influence, or expert
ence. Of these six or eight will proba-
bly, vote for Gen. Grant. The rest are
working for him to the extent of their youthful
ability; but we gladly give them credit for
having no sort of comprehension of what they
are about.

The last and most important accession 10
these irreconcilables is Mr.. Robert IoomOS oi

he SAYS, he must have done 1t IN the retre-
ment of his own closet, for the world mas DO
account of any damage ever inflicted Dy MN
unon the flag. He has talked against 1t with
great Huency and profit, but has left the treading
under foot to braver and less talkatiVe men,
1t would be doing Mr.. TOombs injustice 10
state that Gen. Grant any more t1an M
Greeley is his especial favOrite for the Presi-

"port the devil in preference to either OF
them, because when you support the deVii
"you support very respectable antagonist
L" He is not o coward. He fought God AL
"mighty very respectable fight, and he
"fights him q pretty tough fight till now"
AS this sulphurous parsonage is the first
choice of Mr.. Toombs-and naturally enough,
considering the work of war and unendlng
! discord he wishes to accompllsh-there is
nothing surprising in the fact that his second
choice for this work should be Gen. Grant,
and not Mr. Greeley. Only it is little odd
that the Household papers should be Dragging
