5coisie" regime only came into power Mt
The suppression of that Southern aris-
tocracy which we so energeticaliy de.
nounced when it existed in the full
strength OF its influence. Scarcely
anything was or could be more dstaste-
ful or even hateful to US than the car
riage, sentiment aud selfarrogated posi-.
tion OF that proud and pretsntious aris-
tocracy which adopted the spirit and
department of the English nobility and
gentry. But one who looks back over
the history OF the country from its birth
as nation must now SEQ and own that
the influence of this Southern aristoo-
racy was an element of immense value
IN shaping the character of our public
men and political life. The existence
OF many things is only realized by their
temporary absence. For nearly ten
years. the South rs political power
has been withdrawn from the Union.
1t has been ruled, repressed and stihed
in its old character and influence by
the worst kind Of carpet-bsgging 6our-

yime, it has been shorn of all the locks
OF it's power on the National Govern
ment and public mon OF tho country.
1t has not sent to Washington a single
representative of its old historical fnmi-
lies-no Calhoun. nor Clay, nor Ben

names have answered to the roll call in
either house ut the capital. None Of it's
old chivalry, its high sense Of honor,
has been represented by the newly-im-

Where all this blind foolshness might
have led me, l shudder to think But a
nerciful God interposed. With a plying
eye he saw my folly, and sent messenger
of grace--a sweet pledge oflove-to snatch
me, II may be, from ruin.
o, how loved that child ! often won
dered if mothers thus loved their children.
And from the love born with its birth,
there sprang such new feeling of tender
ness toward my husband that | never
dreamed could exist. Had realized then
as do now, the mission of that child, l
should have been prepared for what follow
ed. But that was not revealed to me till
my heart throbbed with the agony of DESC
lation.
For three years this messenger Of love
and peace cheered our home and hearts.
Then death robbed me of my treasure. Ne
yer was death more desolating. nor sorrow
more deep aud murmuring, followed by q
sweeter, calmer, holier submission.
Though years have passed since then,
my old love of gayety has never returned.
The whispers of vanity have been uuheed-
ed. The loyalty of my heart has never
been questioned, because l find purer
JOY in life of devotion to Him who, when
folly had well nigh ruined me, raised His
holy arm in my behalf. And, to-day, as l

ADVICE FOR LADIES, A wife must
learn how TO form her husbands happi-
ness in what direction the secret of his
comfort lies. She must cherish his weak
nesses by working upon them she must
not rashly ran counter to his preiudices.
Her motto must be, never to irritate. She
must study never to draw largely upon the
small stock of patience in mans nature,
nor TO increase his obstinacy by trying to
drive him never, if possible, to have
scenes. l doubt much if real quarrel,
even if made up, does not loosen the bond
between man and wife, and sometimes, un-
less the affection of both be very sincere,
lastingly. IT irritation should occur, a wo-
man must expect 10 hear even strength
and vehemence Of language far more than
occasion requires. Mild as well as stern
men are prone tC this exaggeration Of Ian
guage, Let not woman be tempted ever
TO say anything sarcastic or violent in re-
taliation. The bittcrest repentance must
needs follow such an indulgence if she do.
Men frequently forget what they have
themselves said, but seldom what is utter
ed by their wives. They are grateful, too,
for forbearance in such cases, for while as
serting most loudly that they are right,
they are wrong ~ Give a little time, as
the greatest boon you can bestOw, 10 the
irIitated feeling of your husband.

The Coiored People.

markable conduct during the fever IN our city.
lhey have nursed the sick, closed the eyes

burisl. undcr circumstances that challenge

The above is an acknowledgment that the
negro is man, and possessed Of noble quail.
ties. Are the " superior" people OF Georgia
noble enough to accord equal rights to the
colored people who have attended on them,
watched with them, and protected their prop
erty in the midst ofdeath-dealing pestileuce?
Are those negroes who have " nursed the
sick, closed the eyes of the dead, dressed
the corpse and gave II burial, under circuT-
stances that challenge the admiration Of all
good men, unfit for decent treatment i'll
railway cars, in hotels, in public schools, and
public places generally, or are they so inte-
rior, 50 brutal, that contact with them will
be degrading? The negro took no mean ad-
vantage of the absence of the ailrighted prop
erty owners to steal. They were too noble
for that, they too might have fled from dis
ease; they remained and helped the weak
and helpless, though remaining had they
been cowardly and ignoble, they could have
refused to 90 near the afflicted and risk con-
tagion.
The Sun tells that had it not been for the
despised and outraged negro, " untold suffer
ing would have existed in our midst" Can
it be gratifying to the conscience Of the white
people to contemplate the reward to the
negro for his faithfulncss to them in their
hour of extreme need? Outrage upon out
rage, is his portion, at the hands of those
who owe him most. To-day were one of
those faithful people to take the cars in
Georgia to visit relative or on an GRAND of
business he would be compelled to 90 into
an inferior and uncomfortable car and made
to pay the same amount Of fare as those who
are accommodated better. He may watch
oyer and care for white persons when sick
and dying; put his own life in peril in car
inc for them, but lie is too brutal, too infe-
rior to come near them when they are in
health and strength, then he may be denied
the exercise of his rights and be robbed of
his money without redress.

in accord with prejudice, but who are moved
by high and noble impulses, will not only
see the necessity for earnest action in the
matter Of civil rights, but will recognize the
importance Of dealing justly with all classcs
OF citizens, and giving to caste a blow from
which it cannot recover, by opening to the
people the public schools without distinctions
as TO race, color, or accidents of birth, aud
by making it q crime to prescribe citizens OF
the United States in the enjoyment OF public
rights and privileges.
The staying at home from the polls OF the
colored voters Of Ohio, had its effect on the
Gubcrnatorial election in October. In that
state the colOred Republicans claim to have
been ignored on account OF race and color in
the distribution Of Offices by the Republican
party, and feeling that such treatment was
contrary to the declaration Of principles made
by the Presidential Convention they deter
mined to show their disapproval Of what they
deemed hypocrisy by retaining from voting
FOR men whom they believed to be response
bic for the discrimination against them. BY
the ignoring Of cOiorcd men in the matter of
Offices because Of color, and accepting and
seeking their ballots, the party has led the
intelligent and laudably aspiring cOlored men
of Ohio to believe that their manhood is not
respected, and that their physical slavery
has been substituted by political or party
seryitude. This sort of management can be
probably corrected, ard the principle that
the right to vote carries with il the right to
it applies to the negro as to the white man.
Many Republicans argue that the negro is
secure for the Republican party because
there is no other party to which he can so.
We know that the negro vote is true to the
Republican party, and we know why it is
thus true, and feel certain that when the
reasons for being faithful to the party on the
part of the colorcd voter no longer exist the
I negro will as other men ally himself with
the party that approximates nearest to his
idea of what is right and desirable. That
the Republican party is to-day the organiza-
ton which should receive the support of all
colored voters, we have not the slightest
doubt, because we firmly believe that that
party will at the coming session Of Congress
perform its whole duty to the colorcd citizens
OF the United States, and that the Admins
tration in every Republican State will awaken
to the justice and necessity Of treating with
impartallty all classes of citizens.
