The problem distracting the colored voters of
the state Of New York Is whether it is or Is not,
better for their interests to disband the colored
republican organizations throughout the state
and join existing orgsnizati of white repub-
licans. To solve this question the colored re-
publican state convention which adjourned at
Ssrstogs last August will meet again in Sew
York city to-day. The disarmament IL sdvo-
Gated by VIM. johnson, q leading colofed re-
publican OF the state, residing in Albany, and
he Is seconded by . number OF colored men Who
believe that such action would be polite and
result to the best interests OF both the colored
republicans and the entire party. On the other
hand there are . large number Of colored men
who oppose the movement to disbsnd their or
CARNATIONS, and hold an opinion that their po-
litical weight in the party would be thus greatly
leseened. There are also . number Of disap-
pointed ofice-seekers who are endeayoring to
make their personal grievances an element Of
dscord among solored republicans, and to ore
ate division in favor of the democracy.

Some very crude notions about conducting .
Newspaper were put forth at . meeting OF the
pastors OF the Methodist Episcopal churches In
Baltimore yesterday, held for the purpose OF
considering the feasibility of establishing re-
ligious Journal in Baltimore. One clergyman
said the success OF the paper would be assured
II Ii could once get two thousand subscribers,
and one said he would propose TO get job
printer and make the job once pay the expenses
OF the paper. Twelve hundred dollars year
would pay for sll the telegrsphic dispatches
that could be needed, and they could all write
editorials and send items TO the paper, 90 that IL
would not need either editors or local reporters,
Each clergyman VINO learned OF an item, could
write it out and drop it in the post once box or
give IL to q carrier, and IL would be in time for
the paper next day" The same clerical genius
asserted that two columns of advertisements
would support paper, and that the rest would
be clear profit. One brother said he had written
three or four pages OF matter week for three or
four months for q Methodist journal, and had
received but s1i Tor about . cents per page, for
the whole work. 1t il quite evident that these
clerical gentlemen know more about preaching
than they do about running q newspaper.

What Public NEem Owe 10 News
papers.

From the st. Louis Democrat.
Col Forney complains in a well-writ-
ten article in the Philadelphia Press, that
public men are, as a class, ungrateful to
the newspapers and the journalists to
whom they, in many instances, owe their
position. Nobody is more competent to
speak on this subject than Col. orney
himself. He has made more statesmen
out of small material than any man in
America. He has taken a more active
lpart in the personnel of American poll
tics in the last twenty years than almost
any other man. Much of his work has
been that of politician rather than that
of journalist but in either capacity
he has always been able to serve his
friends well, and he has always served
hem faithfully. His reward has been
very small. Ii he had let politics alone
and devoted himself exclusively to jour
aalism, he might have made greater
aame than Greeleys and a greater for
tune than Benefits. But he was always
very fond of helping some friend to an
Office, and always had a taste for politi-
cal intrigue with a purpose of this kind.
His experience has no doubt, been that
Of hundred others who have operated
In the same way on smaller scale.
Make governor out OF an alderman to-
day, and tomorrow he'll tell you that he
owes his elevation to his own superior
merits. Forney made President of the
United States out of James Buchanan
but before the old public functionary had
taken his seat he repudiated his patentee
and manufacturer in the most migrate
full manner Congressman are made by
country newspapers when they go
to Washington it wouldn't be safe to tell
them so.
Garfield, as an NJ c., was invented
by seven by nine sheet, the editor of
which had probably never seen five
dollar bill in his life, and Garfield would
certainly be indignant now if asked to
give FIVE dollars of his back pay to that
man. TrumbuIl was first heard of, we
believe, through little paper at Alton
and he was last heard of drawing his
So, 900 grab. Ben Butler says he was
not made by the newspapers but then
it must ever remain one of the mysteries
of nature where Ben Butler came from,
and what object was in view in producing
him. If the grievance of which Col.
Forney complains Is a sore one, it is the
fault of those who are aggrieved.
There is too much puffery of small
men in the newspapers now-a-days-too
much disposition to exalt gentle dullness
and amiable imbecility into intellectual
greatness and real ability Every chuckle
head in Congress gets more praise from
the press of his party now than could
have been bestowed upon Danieiel Web
ster in his palmiest days.

From the Evansville Qnd.) Journal.
DR.. c. w. Brooks, of bayfield,, Ills,
was in town on Saturday, and related to
a gentleman here a sad case of young
lady who lost her life by a shock to her
nerves, caused by fear produced by find
ing herself in close proximity to a large
rattlesnake, at his residence, a little
more than a month ago. The Doctor
and his wife had gone out to gather null
berries, leaving the young lady at home.
During their absence she went into the
lawn near the house, and sat under the
shade of tree, and after sitting a while
she was startled, she says, by feeling the
hot breath of the snake on her cheek.
She started to her feet frantically, her
cries reaching the ears of Mrs. Brooks,
who came home ahead of her husband.
Mrs. Brooks seized a gun, and hurrying
to her assistance shot the snake, which,
on being measured, proved to be nearly
six feet long. The young lady's fright
was so great that she was thrown into
spasms, and at intervals she would rave
about the hot breath of the snake. On
Tuesday last she died in great sgony, de-
flying all the medical skill that could be
exerted in her behalf.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Forgive and forget-it is better
To ding every feeling aside,
Than allow the deep cankering fetter
OF revenge in thy breast to abide.
For thy steps thro' life's path shall be lighter
when the load from thy bosom is cast,
And the sky that's above thee be brighter
When the cloud of displeasure is past.
Tho thy spirit swells high with emotion,
To give back an injustice again,
Let il sink in obliViOn's ocean,
For remembrance increases the pain;
Aud why should We linger in sorrow
When its shadow Is passing away,
Or seek To encounter Tomorrow
The blast that DER swept US to-day.
Oh! memory's a varying river,
Anu though it may placidly glide
When the sunbeams OF joy Ger it culver,
It fOams when the storm meets the tide.
Then stir not its current to madness,
For its wrath thou wilt ever regret,
Tho the morning beams break on thy sad
Ere the sunset forgive and forget.
