Mr. Sumner has already given notice, in
the Senate, that be intends to ngitate his
infamous bill, forcing social equality, until
It becomes law. Grant has recently Ok.
pressed his approval Of Summers bill. We
have no doubt it will be passed, and then
commences the war Of races. Whenever
the negro attempts to force himself, under
protection Of an infamous law, into the
diningroolns Of The Peabody and oyerton
hotels, and into the sleeping cars occupied
by our wives and daughters, that momont
will there be an intense hatred toward the
negro, and the strifes, which the whole coun-
try desires TO be buried, win be renewed
Already, the South Is dividing into two dis
tinct parties, predicated on race and color.
For seven years we have had the Black
Mans party. They have persistently Band
ed themselves together, and in every in
stance hurled themselves against the whites.
The persistency Of this opposition, and tie
new demands of the negro, is flst driving
the South into the organization Of the
White Mans party A contest is now 60
Ing on, for Mayor, in Mobile, Alabama. No
national issues are involved; but the ne
groes have again banded themselves togeth-
or, and are aTayed againt the whites, who
pay all the taxes Of the city government.
From the Mobile Register.
Very lately an old political friend sent US
word that il was impolitic to talk Of
White Mans Party" Did it ever occur
to him that it was impolitic to talk of a
"Black Mans Party?" Well, sir, Tie latte1.
is stern reality. Whoever charged US
with banding together the white citizens
against the black ID the first instance -
The black man has been banded against us
With unity that barely admits Of az ex-
ception. His black fist has been doubled
up by insiduous enemies, and dashed into
our white faces, politically and now, when
we talk Of banding the white men in pure
ly defensive combination, we hear Of impu-
dence and impolicy, Your neighbors house
is on fire. you know that he and his chill
dren are sleeping, unconscious Of their dan
ger, and You are 50 very prudent that you
SO quietly to the door, tap lightly upon it,
and in gentle whisper sibilate, "Neighbor,
you had better get up!" Yet lie should
thunder at the door, and peal out the alarm
Of fire fire r Just SO with the black
mass arrayed in hostile force before us it
is not prudent to shout to our people,
" Fall in, and defend yourselves! We must
do more if we would be safe. We must not
only rally the true men, but we must appeal
70 the manly blood Of the laltering, and
frown, with unutterable scorn, upon those
who go back upon their blood, desert their
race, dishonor the men in gray who lie in
their graves, and drown their conseiences in
qualling the tempting cup Of the enemy,
and in eating portion Of the plumber of
the spoiler. Let no man suppose that this
counsel implies one atom Of malice against
the negro. We would not touch nor harm
one hair Of his woolly head They are but
blind tools. "Thcy know not what they
do.n
From the New York Express.
The negroes Of the United States
though, in their ignorance, they are not go
much to blame as the carpet-baggefs that
dupe them--are showing in Arkansas, Ala
bame, and il Louisiana, what they have
shown 10 Hayd and III the Spanish-Ameri-
can black, Or semi-black, Republic, the in
appreciation Of selfgoyernment, aud their
incapacity for Republic In these three
States named United States soldiers are
doing cieil duty for the negro governments;
and in Florida and South Coralina, two
more negro governments, there Is so much
rottenness that to call them Republicans,
or Republics would be mockery.
Very few Of our people, especially our
Republican people, SEQ what a change all
this is now making, and has already wrought
in our Federal Government. We never see
The air we breathe, and as we are blind ID
that, so we are blind to the fact that this is
ceasing TO be Republican Government !;
but a government rapidly falling, like that
Of Rome, into a government Of soldiers
Young mea that are ambitious without
principle, and fathers earnest for the ad-
yancement Of their sons, without regard to
principles, would DO well to take their sons
away from Yale, Harvard, and Cornell Uni
yersity, and send to West Point, or some
other school for soldiers. f
