The real cause OF Gen. Grants INTEREST," In
the matter lies In his personal enmtty to
WHrmoth, whom he considers one Of his
bitterest enemies You know he has
abused him. Well, Grant never forgives
an insult like that. AS long as he thinks
tho people Of this State supports War

really does not himself understand the

fighting TO get to the United States Sen

He opposes this and the men here have
taken advantage Of it to place the pres

who say that it Is impossible for

Of cur people. There is great fight
going on in this country to-day which
lew see, and yet in it I know there Is q
dissolution Of tho great Southern Radical
Republican party, composed Of negroes
led by Northern whitemen. This party
has since the war been opposed to the
resident whitemen, because they have
hardly been allowed otherwise. But the
time Is coming, and coming rapidly, when
the white and black people Of the South
will be united in the bonds Of unity In as
far as their several positions lie. And
when that time comes, there is the only
hope for the people. Give me chance,
and the rest Of tho colored people o

be bound to come some way, and the
sooner the better, for the South and the
