ton was pleasant surprise to all interested
In the matter.
Mr.. Avery is man eminently fitted to
hold an office where intelligence, cultiva-
ton and general ability, together with gen.
eral information on political subjects, is re-
quired. He Is also well fitted by experience
on the Pacific coast. For many years he
has been connected with the Pacific press.
He was, we believe, the founder of the
Marysville Appeal. and for long time lead
ing editor of the San Francisco Bulletin,
which occupation he left about year ago
to assume the editorial management of the
Overland Monthly. He is at present secre-
tary Of the Pacific division Of the Ceuten-
NAL commission.
As q journalist he has made himself favor
ably known to all the active men of the
Pacific coast, and is, we are informed, un-
usually popular for one who has necessarily
been involved in all the great political and
local contests of the last decade. In his
profession he is universally esteemed. At
the time of his retirement from the Bulletin
he received the warmest encomiums from
all the leading papers of California that have
ever been bestowed on a journalist of that
coast. His character seems to have been
exceptionally pure and his ability is I'M
questioned. The Bulletin owes to his pen
its best work in the past and sadly misses,
now, his wise counseland powerful, though
gentle, opinions.
He is also devotee at the shrine of art.
His efforts have been prominent in estab-
fishing the Art Association of San Fran
cisco, which is a credit to his State.
Long experience in California has rem
dered him also well fitted to grapple the
Chinese question, which is every day be-
coming more important, and now demands
the thoughts of a prudent philosopher and
statesman rather than the attention of the
demagogue.
Mr.. Avery has been thus signally honored
in the prime of a life that has been actively
devoted to the people of the Pacific coast,
and his friends, who recognize his great
worth, feel much gratiied at his unexpected
prominence before the nation.

THE MINISTER TO CHINA.

The announcement that the resignation
OF Mr. Low, Minister to China, had been
received at the State Department, and the
nomination yesterday of Benjamin T.
Avery to succeed him, was surprise. We
have ascertained that as soon as this resig,
nation was made known to Senator Sar-
gent he recommended to the President the
nomination of Mr.. Avery. Secretary Fish
desired to have Mr.. George F. Seward,
United States Consul General at Shanghai,
nominated to the office, and confronted
Senator Sargent with large number OF
testimonials of San Francisco merchants
and bankers who favored Seward. 1t Is un-
derstood that Senator Sargent for this rea-
son, waived his recommendation Of Avery,
and asked that If Stewards name was
sent into the Senate the name Of Avery
should be sent In as successor to Seward.
The President, however, decided yesterday
that the appointment of Minister to China
naturally belonged to the Pacific coast, and
determined to adopt the first recommends
ton of Senator Sargent So the nomina.

PERSONAL.

In the District investigation yesterday
the name of the proprietor of THE Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN was mentioned in
connection with contracts under the Board
of Public Works
All we have to say is that we have not
made single dollar in any contract under
the board, and have no interest whatever in
any contract now pending. We do not say
this because we deem that there is any i'm
prcpriety whatever in having a contract,
but in order to crafty the extreme anxiety
which some people seem to entertain in
regard to our private affairs.
The only regret we have in the whole
matter is that we were not fortunate enough
to have had good contract and plenty of
money to execute it.

OUR CHARITIES.

Yesterday was full of encouragement for
the charity cause. The ladies held their
second meeting and pronounced the work
progressing in most energetic manner.
They issued an address to the public, which
we print in another column, and which is
signed by Mrs: Grant, by all the ladies Of
the Cabinet, and by the most influential and
best-known leaders of society. The address
sets forth the many needs of the various
charities in our midst, and earnestly invites
the cooperation of all who take an interest
in charitable work.
The noblest example yet set to the people
is that of President Grant A representa-
tive of THE REPUBLICAN called upon him
last evening and obtained from him his
views upon the charity movement. The
President was found quite enthusiastic in
the matter. He not only subscribed for
twenty-five tickets, but also expressed his
willingness to suspend the rule which
forbids the offering for sale OF tickets for
charitable or other purposes in the different
Departments for this occasion, and promised
W ooO W "dLu POPulaA
movement so far as lay in his power. This
action of the President does honor to his
heart and credit to his position. 1t will add
another strong link of affection that exists
between him and the public, and endear
him to the poor and needy all over the
land. The Presidents example is well
worthy to be followed by others who are in
a position to render the good cause valuable
assistance.
The police commissioners yesterday
passed resolution unanimously permitting
the officers Of the force to dispose of tickets
for the charity entertainments. Tickets
were also issued to the firemen, and to-day
both of these popular bodies Of men will
commence their part of the good work. 1t
will thus be seen that the arrangements for
disposing of tickets upon an extensive scale
are being rapidly completed. and that the
prospects for the sale of large numbers Of
them could not be more fattering.
The work is now fairly begun. The
managers of the movement have done their
share of the labor in an effective manner.
1t is now the peoples turn to give the
movement their full assistance, and we have
faith in the public disposition so to do.

SENSIBLE ADVICE 70 THE SOUTH

These spring notes of revival are especially
encouraging. There is no reason why the
Southern States should not very soon regain
their former position in the Union-at least in
an Industrial and social point of view. Their
soils are naturally fertile and their productions
are always in demand. Their climate is salu-
brious, and particularly inviting to delicate con-
situations that cannot stand the strain of our
severe northern winds and winters. They are
rich in mineral resources of all kinds, and their
mines only need to be properly worked to yield
profitable return. Their rivers suggest innu-
merable manufactures. 1t would certainly
seem that their people, both white
and black, must see that their adgan-
tage lies in encouraging everything that
tends TO invite emigration, develop the natural
resources of the country and increase its
sttractiveness, and promote the public security
and order. They shoald compose their differ
ences at once. They should bury their resent
ments In q common grave Beyond the possibility
of resurrection. They should lie. bygones be
bygones, and cease regretting past that can
not be recalled in creating future that shall
be q hundred-fold better and more salts
flying in every respect. The solution of
their present difficulties lies In the direction
of new enterprises and more comprehensive
and forelooking craftsmanship. The building
of roads, the providing of educational advan-
tsges, the encouragement of agricultural i'm
provements and the mechanic arts, and the
formation of societies for scientific and
charitable objects arc steps towards a better
future which they should hasten to take

AFRICANLZLNG THE SOUTH


In Morengo county, Alabama, about five
hundred blacks voted the Democratic
ticket at the last State election. They out
number the white citizens of the county
largely, but as they begin now to abandon
the Republican party, when mere local
issues are at stake, the Democrats hope be-
fore long to get control of the county gov
eminent. Unfortunately for this scheme,
the Democracy in other sections of the
State insist with pig headed perversity that
the race issue shall be forced as political
question. The result is that the blacks
have no recourse left but to return to the
Republican ranks. While they admit that
they cannot carry the State without the aid
of black votes, the leaders of the Democ-
racy seem to prefer everlasting defeat
rather than submit to recognition of the
privileges Of and the political association
with, the blacks. 1t must be apparent
to Them, as it is e the. unprejudiced
mind of those who view the case from q
disinterested standpoint, that they deserve
the infliction of the evils of which they
complain. Trifing as those evils may be
in fact, and magnifed as they are in the ex-
travagant phrase of the complainants, they
could be avoided by harmonious efforts to
conciliate the differences between the two
races. The black vote in Marengo shows
plainly that the blacks are not opposed to
such efforts and that they willingly accept
offers of Cancellation and honestly abide by
their results. 1t shows, too, that the hue
and cry raised by the opposition about
"Africanizing the South" is mere bosh, as
we have always asserted it to be.
The truth Is that human nature Is the
same under black skin as under a white
one, and the black men of the South are
prompted in their political action by the
same influences Or impulses that prompt
their white fellow citizens. Their ignorance
may sometimes serve to enable designing
and reckless men to mislead them; but
they have never failed since they began to
exercise the rights of citizenship to instinc-
lively seek the success of political measures
which are calculated tie preserve the integ-
rity of those rights. In other words, the
question Of their citizenship being assured,
they are as apt to vote with the Democrats
as with the Republicans. In South Caro-
lima, where the property holders are con-
tinually talking of and striving to obtain
white immigration and foreign labor,
the Africanizing process has developed Its
greatest success but wherever the equality
of both races before the law is assured, the
idea is unheard of save as the utterance of
fanatical malcontents.
The lesson of these facts must be obvious
to all. 1t teaches US that throughout the
entire South, as in the District of Columbia,
it is possible to secure good government
with its consequences Of peace and pros
perity, only when the animosities of race
prejudice are buried. 1t is idle to waste
sympathy upon those who refuse to learn
this lesson. They deserve the fate their
stupidity brings upon them.

A MONEY VIEW OF THE INTER
NATIONAL EXPOSITION AT


fdILdDELHHIA.
Our readers will have perceived that we
are not of those who believe that the recent
financial bill passed by the Senate is going
to destroy the country. We neither sntici-
pate riot nor a-revolution, but in justice
to the distinguished Senators who in a
melancholy chorus deplored the passage of
that measure on Friday last, and as mat
ter of solid consolation to the many good
people who have been affected by their
gloomy prophesies, we beg to direct their
attention to a fact of more hopeful char
acter There are now, on a reasonable esti-
mate, 10, 900 American citizens in Paris, and
at least quite as many more scattered over
the continent of Europe. This may be
called the average American representation
abroad, and it might be doubled without
transcending probability. But let us take
but 10000 Americans in Europe to-day,
each of whom-as most of them are pros
porous and wealthy people--will spend say
81, 500 in gold per annum. This is
$15, 900, 900 year. Now, when we reflect
that nearly all these people are pleasure
seekers, travelling more for curiosity and
enjoyment than for practical purposes. it is
fair to assume that if the International Elk
position of Philadelphia is equal to the an
ticipations of its projectors-and it seems to
us it must be quite so from the stupendous
preparations and magnificent contributions
of the city of Philadelphia alone-these
Americans will turn homeward in 1876, and
will gather. in the capital of Pennsylvania
for the purpose of witnessing what will be
to them source of extraordinary interest,
where they will be able to crafty their own
pride of country, and to contrast or compare
what they saw ia Europe, and what Europe
will send to Philadelphia, with what our
own country will contribute from all her
sources to that gathering of the representa-
tives and inventions and products of the ma
tons of the earth. But this army of re-
turning Americans will not return alone;
they will be followed by thousands and
tens of thousands of foreigners, so that judg-
ing By a mere money standard our Inter
national Exposition, only little more than
two years of. will undoubtedly help to dis
sipate all fears in regard to ruin as result
of what is known as the expansion Of our
currency. A stream of gold will set in
from the old nations that will more than
make up for what we are now losing, and will
probably act as a sort of purifer-for an
instant to fall into the argument of the con-
tractionists-of what these gentlemen are
pleased to call a deprecated currency.
