Recrui,ing for the Navy which began
very actively at the North. has received .
sudden check fran the circumstance that
the whites and the blacks are compelled to
mess together. This is dase which the
northern people are anxious to force down
the throais Of tile South, but whichis quite
unpalatable when presented to their own
Hips.
These race preiadices are instructive
things, and cant be done away with hy
acts Of Congress. Nature will rebel
though Law enforces.
The only remedy is, in the army to have
negro regiments. and in the Navy, class

with all its horrors and its uncertain re-
suits.
Tie feelings of the whole country had
been wrought up to such ! pitch Of ind'g-
nation at the'cruelties Of .ho Cuban author

issue, and watched the preparations q this
government with grim satisfaction.
Nevertheless. il receives with equanin-

Spain has made every concession possible !;
that she has agreed % surrender the Nir-

been executed to make compensation to
the families Of those who pcrishei, and to
salute tie flag Of the United States.
The South has little reason to desire war.
Peace is her interest and her policy. The
wounds of our own war are far from being
healed. The repairs to her shattered in
dustry are only just begun. Misgoyern-
ment and the ascendancy Of thieves in her
coansels. and the administration Of her az
fairs, have continued her in state Of pow

her indebtedness il infinitely greater thar

The Great Disappointment,

GREAT expectations were entertain
ed concerning the administration of
President Grant, expections not con-
fined entirely to the presidents politi-
cal or personal friends They were
shared to large extent by those who
had been strongly opposed to his re-
election. The circumstances Of his re-
election-the opportunities placed be-
fore him to make popular admins
tratlon were thought too palpable and
too noble to be resisted or disreg arded
by any man occupying the position Of
president Of the United States
Scarcely half year has elapsed since
the triumphant reelection of Grant,
and barely II month since his last in
auguration the words of praise from
his supporters and the silence of the
opposition who were waiting in the
vain hope that the president would
give them an opportunity to justify
their expectations, have changed to
very outspoken discomfort. Many Of
tho presidents late appointments are
so thoroughly ut variance with the
rules of the civil-service reform which
he pledged himself to observe, that
blindness to the fact can no longer be
feigned by his most strenuous sup
portcrs. The letter of George VIM.
Curtis, resigning his position on the
civil-service board gives the reason
with no superhuous words or soften
ing excuses.
The New York Nation journal
which advocated Gen. Grants re-elec-
ton with distinguished ability, re-
Gently said: ''The trouble with Gen.
Grant is that he does not understand
what civil-service reform, or reform
of any kind, means.
In the steps of the Nation follow
other jealous supporters of the presi-
dent i'll the last campaign. who could
calmly tolerate blunders and violations
of the civil service rules. but which
impatiently question the propriety in
the president OF giving the Rev. DIR.
Newman free tri p ''around the world
at the governments expense, under
the guise of Il rowing commission to
examine our diplomatic service" This
straw which breaks the camel's back,
however, is the 'report that he is al
lowed clerk, NJ. i. Newman, who
also draws a salary, and that said
clerk Of the uncertain initials is Dir.
Newmans wife Such combined
result of presidential amiability and
ministerials cheek would be too much
for anything merely American and
mortal"
This is from the Keokuk Gate
City, which once saw no flaw in Pres
ident Grant. A truly remarkable
change of sentiment towards him has
exhibited itself in the short space
which has elapsed since his Inaugural
tion.-Ihe Bulletin, Cairo, IN.

New HAMPSHIRE CoNGREssMEN.-
The following despatch to the Boston
Daily papers, dated Concord, n. II.
April goth relating to the election of
Members of Congress last March, will
we presume be read with interest, by
those who feel any anxiety i'll the re-
suit of the same. The despatch reads
thus AT meeting of the Governor
and Council, to day, the votes for Con
gressional Representative in Districts
One and Two were counted, and a
committee will count that for the
Third District tomorrow. There will
be no change in the vote as already
reported. in the First and Third Dis
trcts. The returns for the Second
District were found to give the cleo
ton to Hon. Austin F. Pike by seven
plurality. AT the request OF the Gov
ernor and Council parties were heard
on the question Of correcting the cleo
ton returns, errors in favor of Hon.
5. N. Bell having occurred as declared
in Ward Five, in Manchester and in
iIopkinton, the correction of which
would give Mr. Bell a plurality, it j:
said, of 10. Messrs Barnard, o.
Franklin, Stevens, Of Nashua, ani
Briggs, Of Manchester, appeared fol

al towns in the district was discussed
ut great length, pro ct con. Their

directly on the case, therefore the con
troversy depended almost exclusivel,
as question Of the propriety of open
ing a subject which might have NJ
possible point of termination, ant
might not be confined to the error
specifically alleged. The Council aros
without deciding on the question O
granting certificate to either con
testant, and it is pretty well under

OF executive authority to permit col

The Negro Voter.

The Hon. Charles f. Adams in his
recent eulogy upon the life and charac-
ter Of the late WILLIAM HENRY Sc
WARD, delivered before the New York
Legislature at Albany, uttered some
practical truths in regard to the eleva,
ton of the late Negro-saves as voters
in the Country. He said :-'It has
been great mistake to elevate the
negro to the full estate of citizenship
SO rapidlys Eft should be done, but by
degrees only, as he became fitted to
appreciate and enjoy the prerogatives
with which he becomes invested 1t
should have been the work of gen
Grafton or two, not of a year, and then
he would have been qualified by edu-
cation and an appreciation of his self
dependence and responsibility to main
tain his citizenship. AS he now
stands in the Southern States, he has
not learned the proper use and mean
ing of his franchise, and exercises it
not upon reflection, but upon virtual
dictation. He has been rewarded with
the suffrage, so that party or aclique
might reap the benefit of the instru-
ment placed in his hands. Almost
everything that could be done has
been done, at the same time, to de-
press the best element at the Sonth.
If real sound restoration is to come,
it must in great measure be wrought
through the old masters, the wealthy
and educated people of the South
