THE NEGROES MONEY.

How the poor negroes money was
stolen, or as good as stolen, is told in
the following paragraph from the
Washington correspondence of the
Ne,0 York Herald:
DIR. Purvis, the negro commissioner
To wind up the affairs of the Freed
mans Bank, proposes to have 4 Grim
inal suit instituted against the late
members of the Finance Committee of
that defunct institution. 1t appears
that one of the bylaws of the bank
prohibited the making of personal
loans on notes without the consent
of the majority of the trus-
tees. This stipulation was fagrantly
violated, and loans of this nature
are outstanding, aggregating upwards
of 100000. The innovation began at
the very outset Of the business of the
bank by the Finance Committee, then
composed of Henry D. Cooke and W.
5. Huntington deceased, and was con-
Iinued up till the day the bank closed
business. Mr.. Wilson, the cashier, was
ignorant Of the large amount thus
loaned, all negotiations of the kind be-
ing conducted by the Finance Commit
tee, the record of whose transactions
was kept in a set of books separate
from those of the bank The Finance
Committee not only violated the
bylaws of the bank, but the charter
given by Congress, and the actions
against those composing 1t gill be for
malfeasance In Office.
These sanity carpet baggers and
scalawags have shown their friendship
for the negroes in a way the latter are
not likely soon to forget. Had the ne
groes deposited their money in other
banks conducted by men they knew, it
would have been safe; but they trusted
to an institution managed by a parcel
of canting hypocrites, and now 1t has
gone to support a set of scamps who
care nothing for the negro but to fleece
hmm or use him as a voting machine
Fxperience is a dear school, as many
thousand negroes can testify, and they
NAV vet learn who they ought to regard
as friends.

THE "big job" detailed elsewhere,
in which European capitalists are re-
ported as arranging to take the debts
of the Southern States at reduced rates
of interest, may be safely stamped as a
huge hoax. Folly can no further go
than to suppose that Legislature
could delegate to others the exercise of
a power not possessed by itself; and no
Legislature has authority to levy taxes
beyond the term for which it
is elected. The proposition, there
fore, to vest the new bOnd-hOlders
with absolute power to enforce the col
lection of taxes to pay interest and pro-
vide the sinking fundIis d chimera. If
it we're not so absurd, it would be
atrocious. The scheme can hardly be
accomplished under our republican
forms. What fresh phases of oppres-
sion Casarism in conjunction with cap
itaI might devise, our people do not
seem disposed to test by experience,
Judging from this weeks elections.

will the Republican party live?'
is the pertinent question which the
Philadelphia Commercial Last asks In
reference to the troubles in the South.
and especially in regard to the com.
merci1 depression of the country.
Merchants, il is said, are more anxious
to reduce than extend trade, and look
moreearnestly afterthose who owe them
money than those whom they might
trust. There can be but one cause for
this uneasy feeling" it argues very
forcibly.' LIT is the result of a tinker
ing government. The financial ques-
ton has been hammered and turned and
beaten and remodelled until it is about
as much muddled as the reconstruc-
ton of the South" There Is consid-
cradle truth in these remarks,
for the financial policy of the
government has been almost as
aimless as rudderless ship, drifting
with the winds and waves. What Mr..
Bristow may make it. it is too early
to Judge, but he cannot do worse
than his predecessors, and it is proba-
bic that he will do much better. But
the Commercial Last points out that the
third term movement has become dis
organizing element to make confusion
worse COMPOUNDED, and that now I'VE
must look forward to the work of
patching up the government as it
stands, and protecting it from the
greed of Office In the Chief Magistrate,
instead of putting shoulder to shoulder
to push forward, North and South,
upon path of progress and advance
toward prosperity. Instead of a policy
of recuperation, it must be one of re-
sistance against further disorder"
This is something which the President
would do well to consider. He was re-
elected to save the country from the
financial disaster which it was declared
the election of Mr.. Greeley would
cause, and the most important event
after that victory was the worst
financial panic we have had
since 1857. Perhaps the Presl-
dent is not TO blame for that. 1t
might have happened in any case; but
now we learn that his third term as
pirations not only disturb the politics
but injure the commercial interests of
the country. The Commercial Last, we
believe, speaks not only the opinion of
Philadelphia, but of business men gen
orally, and it is right in asking if the
Republican party can carry this bur
den of public misfortune, distrust and
ambition. and live We think not, and
everything we learn confirms the belief
that the mere suspicion that third
term policy exists alarms the people,
and makes it Gen. Grants duty to pro-
tect commerce and dispel doubt by
driving the unweleome ghost of Caesar
from American shores forever. Let
him be the magnanimous Brutus to
this imperial shadow. Mr.. Robson
says that the President regards the
third term discussion as unworthy of
notice. The facts we have cited should
convince him that tits his duty to speak,
if not for his own sake, for the eoun-
| try's.

MANY seem to think that the one
thing necessary for inaugurating a
political millennium, is to get the ne
groes divided in some way. Another
hobby is to have them all huddled to-
gether on Western territory to revive
Ashanteeism. Hitherto the gre It
trouble about both these plans has been
their utter want of practicability under
existing circumstances. But the start
ling programme published elsewhere,
from the Lebanon Ky Standard, opens
a chink toward daylight. In one direc-
ton, al least. Whenever the black
men set ont to kill all the black women,
as well as white men, there viii be
trouble in the colored family, and we
may look for a division of that race on
the line of sex.

WILL MAYNARD MEET THE FACTS.

The address Of Maj. VIM. J. Sykes,
at Murfreesboro yesterday, which is
briefly summarized elsewhere, deserves
a careful reading as showing from the
official documents, in avery succinct and
satisfactory shape, the management of
the State debt since the war, first. by
the Republicans and subsequently by
the Democracy.
The sale of the insolvent railroads
has been criticized by friend as well as
foe, without full consideration of the
circumstances then existing. The sys-
ten of Receivers might have done well
enough in honest times, but it was first
resorted to in this State at a most un-
propitious epoch. The State took con-.
troll of the delinquent railroads, run
ming them by Receivers, and instead of
earning the interest on their bonds,
the roads under this system run the
State into fresh debt. The loss TO the
State was estimated by Comptroller
Pennebaker at $1,000 daily, or nearly
million a year. This, besides the ac-
cumulation of unpaid interest. The
sale of the roads stopped this double
leak.
Judging by the depreciation of other
property since, it is probable that if
the sale had been delayed longer, the
amount realized would have been less,
while the State debt would have been
increased by every days delay. 1t is
quite questionable whether, with all
our dear bought experience, we could
now devise better plan if placed in
like predicament.
There are other important facts
about the State debt contained in Maj.
Sykes address, which controVert, from
the official record, the random and
reckless assertions of Horace Maynard,
who, notwithstanding his quasi-repu-
diation of Civil Rights, seems to ad-
dress himself altogether to a non-read-
ing public. Certainly he does not ex-
peet intelligent whites to swallow the
garbled distortions about State finance
which he has been retailing thus far
during the canvass.
