The Herald OH the Disyraccful
Scenes at Cooper lnstitutc.

The Herald, which otherwise has been
lavoring Grant for the last few davs. has
bad several long editorials pointing out
the dangerous meaning of the Cooper
Institute instancc Of gag law among the
coiored voters. II says to-day:
The scene at Cooper Institute was a
disgrace to civilized city. and was cal
Iculatcd TO shake the convictions Of those
who have hitherto been most earnest in
their advocacy Of negro suffrage.
throughout the proceedings there VISA
display ofignorance, bigo,ry and rufiian-
Ism revolting TO those who have been
taught to believe that the ballot is the
palladium OF onr liberties. Yet, de-
plorablc as was the exhibition at Coop
er Institute, it was orderly compared
with scenes enacted in some of the
Southern States. The fault does no, lic
with the negroes. but with those who
strive to bind them together as distinc-
tive political power, by imposing Oh
their crcdulity and inflamilIg their pas
sions.
1.-The inccndiary speeches of Secre-
tiry Boutwell, calling for ccascle-s en-.
mity between negroes and whites. the
dangerous aud unchristian letter Of Ger.
RITZ Smith, in which fierce hatreds, en-.
gendercd by slavery. are invoked 10
make the South, in his own words. "a
hell of horrors These are influences
calculated to turn tho negro into n de-
mon, and to make the suffrage extended
10 me blacks curse to the Nation"
The Herald concludes BY saying We
warn men who are trying to excite tho
Icars and passions Of the negro race for
their own political ends. that ihev are
playing with fire. and the disgiaceinl
scene enacted in the heart Of the metro
,oI's on Thursday night is only a slight
sorc-shadowing Of the evi $ they are
bringing upon the country"

Another Lie.
In recent speech Hon. NJ. C. Kerr

! In recent speech Hon. NJ. C. Kerr
of this State, said:
"Any intelligent citizen, in public ol
private life, who charges that the Dem
Ocratic party, il Invested with power
would re-establish slavery, or pay fol
slaves, or assume or pay Confederate
debts, and take suffrage from co,orcd
men, or 40 other acts in defiance OF The
Constitution, must be Il hypocritc and d
deinagogue, and he can have no higher
aim than to SANDER and deceive"
Yet, in February last, Mr.. Kerr, with
nearly every 0;her Democrat IN Con
gress, voted against a resolution dcclar.
ing that the constitutional amendments
were valid and that the legislation based
thereon was legal and must be enforced.
A wonderful change us come over the
spirit of his dreams in the short space of
SIX months. / indianapolis Journal.
The statement in the above extract is
simply false as 10 Mr. Kerr. Why can
not the Journal of late utter truth at all I
1t appears to be under cloud of binding
malignity and hate, OF in such state OF
trcpidation and fear that it feels compel
led to rcsoIt to fllschood for the accom-
plishmcnt of its purposes. 1t well knew
the fact out would not tell its readers
that on the 9th Of last February Mr..
Kerr and most OF the Democrats voted
for the following resolution:
THAT we recognize the 18th, l4th and
18th amendments to the Constitution as
valid parts thcreof."--[Ncw Albany

The Coqae:te'

She gives you sunny look
From her dreamy, violet eyes;
She clasps your hand In tender way,
And her tears unbidden rise.
She gives such silvery sigh
From the depths of her maiden heart.
You fain would think it was born OF love,
And free from drop OF art.
She bids the blush come mp,
And the blue-veined lids go down,
She wears her hOnors as gracefully
As King may wear his crown.
She revels i'm human hearts;
She glories in human pain;
And she means when she levels her cru
ell darts.
That they shall not be in vain.
or all tue wicked souls
That the world has fOstered yet,
There is none more cruel, and none
more false,
Than the heariless, gay cOqnette.
