T. VIZ are glad the Virginia Legislature
bps bestowed upon ROBERT E. wrrHERs
ne honor ofthe Senstorship. He is q
sobls specimen Of the old Virginia gen.
t5snan, and with this character unites
the virtues OF the new regime. There
10 not in the whole State OF Virginia a
better nor more conscientious man than
RoBRRr E. WirHKRs, nor one who is
more deserving OF the honor that has
been conferred upon him by this cleo
ton.
Having, several weeks ago, summon
ed whatever influence we could com
mand in his favor, as outsiders, we are
especially gratifeG by his present nomi-
nation, and predict for him Senatorial
career as full of promise to the iote-
rests OF the new State as to the invio-
late domains and sacred soil of old
Virginia.

A BEAUTIFUL INcIDENT.-Yesterday

Presby teresn church, preached from
these worde: "Prove me now herewith,
saith the Lord OF Hosts if l will not
open you the windows Of heaven. and
pour you out q blessing that there shall
not be room enough to receive 1t" The
church windows were raised to admit
the balmy spring like air. and the glad
sunshine cbeered all hearts. As the
minister proceeded with ibis discourse,
q beautiful dove flew into the window

New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1874-07-30

The Democracy of Maine, at their recent
State Convention, planted themselves
squarely upon the principle of absolute, I'M
qualified Free Trade. All duties on Foreign
imports must be removed and all CUSTOM
houses abolished. The hundred and fifty
million dollars in gold, now realized from the
Tariff, and absolutely necessary to meet the
obligations Of the Government, is to be col
lected by direct taxes on the people. In
addition to the Internal Revenue now col
lected mainly from the sale of whisky and
tobacco, tax in gold is to be levied upon
the land and farming tools Of the farmer,
upon the house, household effects, clothing
and utensils of every kind, of every family
in the land. Instead of compelling import
ers Of Foreign products to pay this sum, and
at the same time protect our own industry,
the burden is placed upon our own people
and policy adopted that will eflectually
break down every kind of American manu-
features. This policy the Democracy of
Maine have had the boldness openly to pro-
claim. 1t is the real sentiment of the party,
and they will adopt it if they are ever
restored to power.

"a White Mans Country"

Wherever they have numerical superb
GRITTY the Democracy act upon the principle
that this is "white mans country" by
depriving black men not only of their civil
but of their political rights 50 far as they dare.
And where they have not, they resort to
every sort of eXpedient to obtain the power
over them. In Louisiana they have organ
lied themselves into "White Leagues" all
over the State, and are attempting to force
even white Republicans into them by threats
of social outlawry, and refusal to hold any
business or. other relations with them--a
terrorism by which Republicanlsm has been
so etfectually crushed out in Georgia. The
alleged arrogance of the negro is the pre-
text the Democracy give for forming leagues
designed to Cypress still further the colored
population, and even to deprive them prac-
tcally of their political rights. These secret
combinations are intended to carry out the
spirit shown by their wholesale massacre of
negroes in the Grant and ColfaX parishes a
year or two ago, though in less bloody way.
And yet they will continue to resort to muir
der whenever and wherever they fail to carry
their ends by less bloody means. They are
resolved to regain their lost power through
out the South by whatever violence and bru.
tally may be necessary.

School Textbooks.

We have recently had our attention called
to three series of educational works published
by Harper & Brothers, of New York and
although we recognize the force of the OBJ
jections urged by parents against the too
frequent change of textbooks in our COM
mon schools, yet the manifest excellence Of
these publications prompts US to pen brief
article in commentator of them. 1t is pos
sible, too, that. in parts Of the country in
which the New NATIONAL ERA is circulat-
ed, school authorities may be celebrating
upon the choice Of textbooks to be intro
duced into schools under their charge and,
in that case, we are confident that we are
doing the cause Of public instruction SER
vice by bringing these works under their
notice.
The first Of the publications referred to, is
the Mathematical Series, prepared by John
II. French. Ill. D., and consisting Of the
following books, viz. First Lessons in Num-
bers, Elementary Arithmetic, Mental Arith-
metic, and Common School Arithmetic.
From cursory examination Of this series,
we are led to believe that the science of
numbers could not be treated more clearly
and phlosophically; aud that its typograph.
ical execution far surpasses that of any of
its competitors, now before the public.
Next are the Language Lessons, School
Composition, and Progressive English Gram
mar, prepared by Professor William Swinton,
AM, of the University of California, and
constituting part of IIarper's Language Sc
ries Of Textbooks. These works certainly
seem admirably adapted to simplify the rudi-
mental study Of our language, and to
convert the dry task Of a grammar les
son." as school boys and girls usually re-
gard it, into an agreeable and inviting recre-
alton.
Last on the list is Marcus Wilson's Sc
ries of Readers, designed for school and fam
lily use. We have been acquainted with
these last mentioned books for several years
past, and our surprise is, that they have not
been, ere now, universally introduced into
the schools throughout the country. We say
this without disparagement to any other of
the excellent Readers at present in use and
we are led to do so by the conviction that,
through the aid Of Wilson's Readers, many
child would acquire elementary ideas valua-
bic in themselves and leading to more ex-
tended research in the several domains of
natural history, and in the round of the arts
and sciences, from which that child might
otherwise be precluded by the limited range
of studies pursued in our common schools.
Besides, as these books, like the others which
we have noticed, are gotten up in durable
manner, illustrated in the handsomest style,
and furnished to the public at exceedingly
cheap rates, we do no harm to our conscience
in commenting upon them thus favoraby.

West Point.

No one unprejudIced against the negro
will doubt the statement made in another
column by Cadet Smith in regard to his base
| treatment by United States officers at West
Point-a treatment which is defiance to the
thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amend.
ments to the Constitution OF the United
States. The act of the dismissal of Smith
| from West Point, and the conduct of Prof.
Niche are such concessions to miserable
| spirit inconsistent with manly bravery, and
an exhibition of moral cowardice that no real
| soldier and gentleman would have true of
| himself.
From the moment Of Cadet Smiths en-
trance to the Military Academy at West
Point, down to the day of his dismissal. he,
because of his race and color, was the victim
of the cowardly hatred of officers and cadets
at that institution. His appointment was
looked upon as an innovation to be resented
and rebuked. The cadets banded together
in opposition to him, knowing, through some
means, that their superiors would counte-
nance to the extent OF their power whatever
unmanly, ignoble and disgraceful demonstra-
tons they might make against the cadet who
was singular because of the accidents of
birth, and only singular in the matter of race
and color.
The disgrace sought to be fixed upon Cadet
Smith by Prof. Niche will be placed upon
the professor himself by every fair-minded
man who takes into serious consideration
the cowardly prejudice known to exist against
the negro by the woud-be arstocrats of West
Point the charity pupils of the United
States.
Cadet Smith has been defeated, but not
disgraced. by the united opposition of cadets
and examiners against him. OF him it was
demanded that he should stand up alone
against all the insults and ostracism that a
large number Of cadets could bring to bear
upon him, and yet, in order to defeat him,
base strategy had to be resorted to by his
examiners.

Cotton and Manufactures South.

1t is beginning to be admitted, even by
those who for years have attempted to de-
precate the colOred laborers of the South,
and have even denied them all dispositions
to work except under compulsiOn, that they
are now working with great steadiness and
it is claimed that after the South has outgrown
the political and financial difficulties by which
she has been surrounded since the close of
rebellion she will eclipse any Of her form
er efforts in the production Of cotton.
The South possesses'a monopoly In the pecu-
liar kind of soil necessary for the growth of
the staple most demanded by the world,
which gives her the advantage over all other
communities in the cultivation of cotton
Southern cotton, it is asserted, and all expe-
riencc justiies it, is distinguished from that
of all other countries by the remarkable
length and strength of the fibre and by soft
ness, whiteness and flexibility. The area
suited to this variety is ample, and only one
sixty-seventh part has yet been reduced to
tilage. Watered mainly from clouds that
float from the Gulf Of Mexico, it is rarely
touched by drouih and its seasons are secure
When we consider the growing Importance of
cotton as an article of almost universal con-
sumption in all civilized countries the ad.
ditional markets that are every year opened
for it in its various forms of reproduction !;
the numerous new purposes to which it is
being applied in the mechanical and estheti-
cal arts and the rapid augmentation of pop
ulation in the United States, there is no good
reason why the South, with her superior ad-
vantages, should not convert her raw mate
rial INTO yarns and finished products, and
export them in that shape rather than in the
form she does. Already she is awakening to
the utiltarian importance of this idea. Fac
tories as remunerative as in New England,
in proportion to the capital invested, are be-
ginning to dot her landscape. Surplus ac-
cumulatiOns Of property that once were ex-
pended in purchasing more land, more slaves,
and more mules, are now taking the direction
of stock in manufacturing companies, many
of which are formed for the purpose of fabri-
eating shirtings, shectings, and other varie-
ties of cotton goods,
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1874-07-30

found who would repel with indignation any
charge of their being accessories of murder
ers. The spectacle of the Republican OK
pulling forward on the road to complete
freedom, and the Democratic OK pulling back
towards oppression arouses the sympathy of
the negotiating class in the South to aid
the Democratic OK in maintaining position
agreeable 10 their ideas and feelings. All
assistance given 10 the Democratic OK is
assistance given to retard freedom, to en-
courage White Leagues, and the murders
committed by such leagues. If Christianity
means anything, it means that among the
many sins murder is one of the most wicked.
Ii this be true, how can protested Christian
be Democrat and hate his neighbor, and
aid the murderers of men, women, and
children:
For the brutality in the South, the Thur
mans, the Hendricks, the Seymours-such
papers as the New York Tribune, such Doc
tors OF Divinity as those of the Baptist
Church who oppose Equality before the Law
are responsible. They give aid and COM
tort to the murderers of the White Leagues
by Their constant plea that the negro is an
inferior being, unfit to associate with white
human beings in the enjoyment of inalienable
rights. In this way they become accessories
IN the murders of the Ku Klux. Their ST.
lence as protested Christians is aid and COM
tort to the murderers. Nothing but the con-
tinued ascendency of the Republican party
can serve to teach protesscd Christians the
eNpediency of being honest and true to their
professions in the direction of doing unto
others as they would be done by. We have
looked in vain for any pulpit denunciation of
dred instances of Democratic barbarty in
the South.
