with these reports their duties ended. After SO
long an absence they were naturally
anxious to reach their families and
their friends, and they separated
finally from the commissioners on the very
night of their arrival in Washington, with the
most kindly feelings on both sides. The COM
miSsioners with their secretary remained to fin
iSh their report. Having called to present their
respects to the president, they were invited TO
dine with him. Had Mr.. Douglass or Gen. Sigel
been present, have no doubt that they wonld
have been included in the inyitation-for no
American chief magistrate had ever more effect

or than President Grant in his selection aud
whole treatment of the eminent colored citizen.
Members of the commission had also been
honored with invitations to Mr.. Summers home
and table. Mr.. Douglass did not meet them
there, but it had never occurred that his alb

one case than in the other.

T,,c ucc,,,. Tomorrow Night,


It can be understood very easily, that Mr..
Hoar's speech, tomorrow night, will be worth
hearing. He will discuss the questions at issue
in this canvass, and, we presume, take some no.
tice of the extraordinary means used TO break
down the republican party and give control of
the government TO the old democratic party
AT any rate, those who may have allowed them
selves to be tempted INTO the movement which
aims to do this, will have an opportunity to
hear something which it will be wholesome 20
consider. The issue in this canvass seems tous
100 plain TO be mistaken by any man who con-
considers the matter calmly, sincerely, and
without allowing his mind to be controlled by
any misleading influence. The issue is a very
grave one. The republican party has right 10
the support of all who believe in republican
principles; and there is nothing in its history
which can excuse even the lunacy of personal
ambition or any other human weakness for at
tempting to put the old democratic party in its

The next state election is that which will take
place in West Virginia on the twenty-second
day of this month. 1t will not present much to
indicate certainly how the state will vote in No
vember, The principal matter involved in this
election is the adoption or rejection Of new
state constitution, and along with this will be a
separate proposition TO dsqualify colored men
for holding any office in that state. Should the
new constitution be adopted, new state gov
eminent, to be elected on the same day, will be
inaugurated; should it be rejected, the election
of this new state government will be void. The
democrats are divided; there is an Independent"
ticket in the field against their regular ticket.
The independent democratic candidate for gov
ernor is John J. Jacob, who now holds the
Office. He is an anti-Greeyite; and reports say
he will be supported by anti-Greeleyites of all
sorts. Should he be elected, 1t will show that
the Greeleyites are in minority in West Yir-
giuia. 1t may show that they are so largely in
a minority that Mr.. Greeley cannot have the
slightest hope of carrying that state. The state
was democratic at the last election, by 215O ma
jority; but, evidently, many of the democrats
will not vote for Greeley and Brown, in No
vember

than that between the Paris fair and what the

that Mr.. Rollins has resigned the chairman.

committee, which is true; but the Tribune adds
which is not true. He is one of the frmest
supporters of Grant and Wilson. He resigned

NOVEL AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS
About "A year ago, Ann Cooper, a married wo-
man, was severely burned on the breast and
neck, and has since been under treatment in
Bellevue hospital, New York. new skin
would not form over the burned spots, and the
surgeons decided that her case demanded des-
perate remedy. On June 10th a mans right leg
was amputated, and Immediately after the op-
Grafton had been performed, DIR. Alexander b.
Mott cut off from the stump eighty-nine pieces
of flesh of the size of United States three cent
silver piece, and applied them TO the breast and
neck of Mrs. Cooper. The process was similar
TO that OF grating in tree culture. or the pieces
of flesh thus grated, eighty adhered, and the
woman's health rapidly improved. She left the
hospital on Thursday perfectly cured. This is
doubtless one OF the most remarkable cases on
record

OF the Fall River and New York line, run into
a barque when approaching Newport at an
early hour Saturday morning Subsequently,
while lying at the pier at Newport, bad leak
was discovered by the officers, but it was not
considered serious enough to warrant delay
in proceeding up the bay to Fall River. When
within four miles of her destination, however,
the leak assumed such proportions that the cap

which was accordingly done, and she lies

GREELEY FIRING THE KUKLUx-The North
Carolina correspondent of the New York Trib-
une, addressing that paper before the recent
election, wrote these remarkable and suggestive
words:
"The democrats of the south, if Horace Gree
ley is elected will be the worst disappointed set
of men you ever saw. / don't believe Mr.. Gree
ley has sold ont to them as they think he has
and there's sure to be fight unless these seces-
sionists down here are allowed to manage him
You don't and can't know them as we do; but
mind what | tell you, this whole country will be
overrun with kuklux within three months after
Mr.. Greeley's inauguration Then, if he under
takes to suppress disorder, there'll be such a
howl as this country never heard"
This, mind you, is from no republican paper
it comes from no opponent of Mr.. Greeley. On
the contrary it is taken from the columns of his
own personal organ, written by his own friend
sent TO report in his own interest. How it was
ever admitted into the Tribune-a paper which
now perverts everything to MIR. Greeley's inter-
est-is a mystery, but there it is, with all its
significance, which cannot fail to impress every

speculated upon the precise meaning of the
word "carat." 1t is an imaginary weight, that
expresses the tinenesS of gold, or the proper
lions of pure gold in mass OF metal; thus, an
ounce of gold of twenty-five carats fine is gold
of which twenty-five parts out of twenty-lour
are pure, the other two parts being silver, cop
per or other metal the weight of four grains,
used by jewellers in weighing precious stones
and pearls, is sometimes called diamond weight
the carat consisting of four nominal grains,
little lighter than four grains troy or seventy
four and one sixteenth carat grains being equal
tie seventy-twO grains troy. The term of weigh
ing carat derives it name from a bean, the fruit
OF an Abyssinian tree, called kuara. This bean
from the time of its being gathered, varies very
little in its weight, and seems to have been,
from a very remote period, used as a weight
for gold in Africa. In India, also, the bean Is
used as weight for gems and pearls.

"THE HILLS OF THE LoRD."-(By William
c. Gannett. y
God ploughed one day with an earthquake,
And drove his burrows deep!
The budding plains upstarted,
The hills were all aleap
But that is the mountains secret,
Age-hidden In their breast;
Goods peace is everlasting"
Are the dream-words of their rest
He hath made them the haunt of beauty,
The home elect of his grace;
He spreadeth his mornings on them,
His sunsets light their face.
His thunders tread In music
OF footballs echoing long,
And carry majestic greeting
Around the silent thr0ng.
His winds bring messages to them
Wild storm-news from the main;
They sing il down to the valleys
In the lOve-song of the rain.
Green tribes from far come trooping,
And over the uplands flock;
He hath woven the zones together
AS a robe for his riven rock.
They are nurseries for young rivers,
Nests for his flying cloud.
HOmesteads for newborn races,
sterful, free and proud.
The people Of tired cities
Come up to their shrnes and pray;
God freshens again within them,
AS he passes by all day
And 10! have caught their secret
The beauty deeper than all
This faith-that life's hard moments
When the Earring SORROWS befall
Are but God ploughing his mountains
And those mountains yet shall be
The source Of his grace and freshness,
And his peace everlasting to me.

VIII You permit me TO say that the appoint

position was conferred upon me without solic-

visionally accepted only at the personal solicta-
ton of the president, who expressed an earnest
desire that our country should not lose the
benefits OF the occasion, and that should en-
deayer, even in the short time left, TO get up 8
creditable representation of our arts and ill.,

For month l have devoted all my time and
energies to this task, and expect to do so until
the object aimed at has been TO some extent
achieved.

active assistance of the public press
Let our public only understand the import-
ance TO this country of presenting credltable
appearance at Vienna in the greatest and most
thoroughly arranged and comprehensive expo
sition the world has ever seen, and the end will

Of our manufacturers are making preparations
to exhibit in the English department. | think
that under the "regulatons" of the exposition
this would be difficult to do, and / sincerely
trust that none of our eountrymen will resort
TO so unworthy a step.
