THE RACE CO6FLICT.

The New York Express, in an article
upon this subject makes some curious
comments, which, we are certain, its sober
second thought will not sacntion. It says,
FOR instance: ''The white demngogues in
"splre the blacks to hnte the whites as a
trace, and the negroes are just ignorant
"enough to be misled by them. Take the
"example of Governor Ames, Of Missis-
"sippi, and his recent appeal to the Presl-
"dent for Federal interference in the State.
Except by legal fiction, Ames, though
"recently Senator in Congress and now q
Governor, is no more citizen Of the
Commonwealth than is General Grant or
General Sherman. He is simply a sue
"cessful carpet-bagger."
Why is he not a citizen of the State
Governor Ames has lived In Mis-
sissippi for years; he Is citizen
Of the United States, and the owner
Of large amount Of property in the State
of which he is the Executive. If he is not
a citizen except by illegal fiction" then
the residents of all the States who were not
born within their limits are in precisely the
same condition. The editor of the EzPTsSs
himself is citizen of New York only by a
"legal fiction, for we believe he came
down from the New England hills several
years ago, as Ames went down to Missis-
sippi.
The effect OF teaching and writing Of the
above character in journals of the ability
and influence Of the New York Express is
bad and mischieVous. 1t does more to fan
the flames of the race issue in the South
than almost anything else, for 1t is all re-
produced in the local press, and the people
of the South-the ignorant and thoughtless
arc led to believe that the North sympa-
thizes with them and is anxious to see them
continue in their disastrous course. There
are, Of course, wrongs in the South which
should be redressed-wrongs inflicted by
Republicans-but the Republicans are not
solely to be blamed for whatever of evil and
misgovernment exists there. These wrongs
can never be corrected by the knife and the
pistol Time, mutual concession, q spirit
of fair play, justice and magnanimity will
do more to save the South and lead 1t up to
prosperity and peace than all the White
Leagues that could be formed. Why can
not the Express aid in that work.

WESTERN JOURNAL gives some sensible ad-
vice TO tho statesmen who contemplate six and
eight column speeches In the approaching cam
paign. It tells them 'all that is necessary to say
can be condensed Into two or three columns, and
It Is very difficult to find room in the newspapers
for them. We are aware It requires more time 10
prepare q short speech than long one; but one
man had better spare that time than to ask q
thousand people to do So" The man who makes
speech longer than two columns and expects
people to read It In this stage OF the nineteenth
century POSSESSES objectionable egOtism.

TEE New York Evening Post is sadly out Of
sorts this year. Casting its eyes around it can
not find single green spot in the political
wilderness. 1t Is equally disguised with East
ern Republicanism and Western and Southern
Democracy. "There is" it says, absolutely
no organized party in one State that can claim
relationship 10 the party Of the same name in
another State, except It be through what Col.
Benton used to describe as the cohesive pow
ers of public plumber" It is not so many
years since the Post was held in line by the

The Graphic thinks that in case any day a
European power should waltz over here and
plant its flag in the West India Islands, or any,
where else, we could do nothing except write
spirited leaders in the newspapers, for "thanks
to our Western Ccngressmen, we have no navy
worth mentioning, and are utterly powerless
for offensive naval operations. The
best we can do is to recognize that an offensive
naval war is quite out Of our power, and to
cease TO talk about a Monroe doctrine which
we are powerless to enforce"

Treasury notes has made its appearance.
The new notes of this denomination, like

new and the old one dollar notes is the
same on the face, the backs are entirely
different. On the face of the new note

Washington, and left hand corner Wig
nettc of Columbus discovering America,
as well as the same right hand upper cor
ncr lathe work dcnominational vignctte.
There is no green tint on the face of the
new note, as is the case with the old is
sue. The differences of engraving on the
face of the new note are simply in the
borders for numbers and in the red treas
urv seal. The latter is now smaller and
placed between the Washington and Co
lumbus vigncttcs. In place Of the large
seal on the old note is red border and

The TRoTTIEG RACE.-The long
talked OF trot between Jerry Hoover and
Honest Joe took place at the Island
Driving Park on Saturday afternoon and
we are sorry to say that the result was
not at all satisfactory. There has been
a good deal of interest manifested in the
race and consequently quite q large
crowd assembled on the grounds to wit
ness it. The horses were considered
evenly matched and the bet
ting was very level, no odds
given on either horse. Messrs. Ham
FORSYTH. J. NJ. Todd aud Michael Ed
wards were selected as judges. The
horses were started about five o'clock.
The first heat was won by Honest Joe
without any trouble, having taken the
lead from the start. The time was 2:5S4
In the second heat the horses got on
we'll together, and for q short distance
kept near each other. "Joe
finally got ahead by doing some good
running" and come in under the string
about FIVE lengths ahead. Jerrys back
ers demanded the heat for their horse,
and justly SO in our opinion, and so the
judges thought for they gave it to him.
Time, 1858.
The third heat was very tame, "Honest
joe" winning without much difficulty.
Time 2:49I.
The fourth heat was won by Jerry
Hoover, the time being 2:55.
Aslo.h horses had two heats each, and
the fifth was to decide the race, the eN-
element ran high. After numerous at
tempts the horses made a good start
They kept well together until the last
quarter of a mile, when Joe went
ahead. and after a pretty and exciting
trot up the home stretch, came IN
few feet ahead. Time
1888. In the heat Joe did some ''run-
ming" and Jerry pacing and both
sides claimed the heat and race. After
some delay, the judges decided the race
in favor OF Jerry Hoover" whichcauScd
a great deal of dissatisfaction and excite
mrnt. We think the last heat should
have been decided II dead.
and the horses made to trot it over again.
But as the decision of the judges is final
the hackers of honest Joe will Ihavc t"
grin and bear it.
