If If
President GRANT, who has kept
remarkably quiet in regard to the
exposures of rascality developed by
the investigation into the affairs of
his District Ring, has at last opened
his mouth and spokenss according to
the Washington correspondence of
the st. Louis Republican. In con-
vorsation with a prominent member
OF the House, we are told, he ex-
pressed the fear that as result of
the investigation Congress would adj
journ ,cithoH passing tpag measure Of
relief in the aCay Of q. money aprs'o-
pridtioN, and consequently the Repmb-
lico,s 4lte'ty acouid be Obliged to 60 to

Not word in regard to the as
tounding frauds which have been
proved against his friend Boss. Shep-
herd, whom he appointed Governor
of the District in defiance of the pub
lie opinion of the whole country !;
not a word about the fabricated
vouchers which were supplied by his
own confidential man Babcock; but
a wall because Congress was not
likely to vote away more of the peo-
pies money to be divided among his
favorites--a vail put in such a form
as to constitute a weak attempt TO
impress upon the mind of his nearer
that voting more money would be q
party necessity.-N. y. Sun.

V The NeacS and Courier Of
Charleston ayers that more than two
tbousand parcels of real estate
in that city were forfeited TO the
State for failure to pay city and
county taxes. The property was
offered for sale without finding bid
ders, partly from unwillingness to
take advantage of the owners mis-
fortune, and partly from doubt as to
the validity of the titles to be given.
Such wholesale confscation in city
like Charleston could only occur
whore the people had been unreason-
ably robbed by their rulers.

1fISNOMER-SOCIAL EQUALE
TY-NOT CIVIL RIGHTS.


-HTo the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
From an editorial! in the Knoxville
Chronicle of 28th ult., make the fol-
towing extract: ave invite their at
tentiOn (Congress) to the expediency
o. of Legislation SO far in advance OF
public sentiment as the one now
s'beforc them" I have noticed with
some interest, the course of the
8 Chronicle in reference to the civil
rights bill now before the National
Blouse OF Representatives and this
IS the first avowal of opinion that
i have been able to detect. Here
we have it; its substance is that we
Ebelieve in social equality OF the
white and negro. But. the people
of this benighted country are not
yet educated up to full aPprecia-
ton Of it's beauties. Our mission
among them is a higher one than
the mere accumulation Of dollars
and cents; it is to elevate them
+ morally intellectually and socially.
why, Sir, these Southern men are
ssemi-barbarous. IF You call one OF
them liar or a scoundrel, he takes
it as personal insult, and forseoth,
- instead Of dealing in words proceeds
e. 10 blows
- Then we have among us Northern
gentlemen, who were such where
they came from, and are recognized
and treated as such here. But we
eialso. have those who from their color
FL should say were living specimens
Y OF the beautiful workings and pro-
ducts of misccgination and we
have others willing to teach us its
practical workings, even in our
= midst.
ra II these are representative men
who have been kind enough to come
2 among us and illustrate the advan-
Istages of their superior moral, intel
g lectual and social qualities i agree
with the Chronicle that our people
are not yet educated mp to their
n standard of excellence.
eli We are impudently told that the
tapeOple oc the South are beginning
8, 20 realize the blessings ofeducation
a,Ah indeed When did this dawnIng
Isof such appreciation begin to devel-
sboP Itself In my beclouded ignor-
lance have been simple enough to
believe that from the foundation of
eur government TO the breaking out
oiief the war Of rebellion, the SOuth
&C. hal mainly furnished the brains IN
y5ithe administration Of our National
affairs.
afT,Thc man Of the Chronicle IS not
private citizen; he is the editor of /
Ga public journal, and as such as
Ipfres to dictate our social, moral
and intellectual wants; his course
! is therefore open to comment and
q criticism. Who he was or what he
afw as before lie floated South, among
the debris Of the war, know not.
i. i must say, however. that in our
7astupidity we have failed to perceive
p such superiority to our plain. unprc-
ytending. honest native citizen. as
:. would induce us to throw aside eur
unsophisticated ideas of propriety.
and adopt such as he would fix up
ron us. Possibly he finds more con.
geniality among his negro friends.
: III SO We do not object to his eating
and sleeping with them. il he SO
elect. But, We must protest against
being measured by his standard Of
Excellence and propriety.
