Z "cclcred" Cabinet nfHnar

From The ia Telegraph and Messenger
The latest Washington news
is that an Ohio negro, named
John NJ. Langston, aspires to a
seat in Grants Cabinet after
the 4th OF March, and that he
appears to have strong backing
III quarters presumed to be in
tluential with the present adj
miniStration. Langston him
self, has been interviewed bv a
reporter for the New York Sun.
and with that shrinking mod
eSty characteristic of his race
and class, intimates to the re-
porter, not only his entire will
lngneSS to accept the honor,
but also bis emphatic onvic-
ton that Grant owes it to the
negroes TO recognize in his
Langston'S) person, their great
services in securing his relec-
ton. He says that Grant
would not have been re lected
if the ''colored troops had not
lit" SO nobly, and that Grant
can't go 'back OH them. Thus
LangSton.
Well, there surely can be no
objection on the part af any
body down this way to such an
appointment. We can stand
it if the North, and especially
the trooly loyl, who hunger for
the same place, can. Langston
will possibly be a mere figure
head anyway-set up TO make
a point with his eolored breth-
rem for the Radicals, and keep
them in slavery to that party.
He don't know any law, of
course, and very little of any
thing else, but with a white
subordinate to furnish the
brains and legal knowledge he
may get along after a fashion,
and be able to sign his name
to official documents with
great ability.
True, when one runs over in
his mind the list of distinguish
ed names who, in the brave old
days now gOne-also! we fear
forever-have dignitied and
adorned that high position, this
disgrace seems to take on a
deeper shade. Compared with
Crittenden and Berrien, and
Black and Caushing, this rep
resentative of the new civiliZa-
ton cannot fail to shock and
disgust the refinement, and
culture, and dignity of the
country; but those who have
made the thing possible. must
Dear all the responsibility
They have deliberately record,
ed their verdict in favor Of d
party and policy, whose audac,
lty and contempt Of decency
and propriety finds Il special
delight in such insults to the
best instincts and interests OF
the country, and are estopped
from uttering even q word OF
remOnStrance. No white man
who voted for Grant last week
has any right to object TO this
or any other insult he may
choose to put upon their race.
They must stand 10y him no
matter what he does nor how
far he departs from, or tram
pies upon not only all laws
and Constitutions, but all con-
siderations of a decent regard
for the wishes and feeling OF
the owners and tax payers OF
the country. Democrats who
voted for Grant because your
