For long time, passports have not been
required of strangers entering France. They
are, however, required in some countries OF
Europe and elsewhere, and the necessity Of
being prepared to prove their nationality,
when required, applies to citizens Of the
United Statet equally with all foreigners, and
tries passport is the most effectual and au-
thentic means of establishing nationality, and
may save the bearer any amount of incon-
venience and detention 1t is, therefore,
earnestly recommended to all American cit
liens about to travel out Of their own coun-
try, to provide themselves with passports be-
fore leaving home. They are to be procured
on application at the State Department

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
THE TICKSBURG TROUBLE.

The trouble in Vicksburg which occa-
stoned call upon the United States
government for troops is one between
whites and blacks. Most unwisely for all
concerned they are making race the basis
of politics, each color drawing apart by it
self, as though the complexion of the hui
man countenance were of more impor-
lance than just and equal taxation and
wise and energetic administration Of mu-
nicipal government.
1t is probable that the organization
known as White Leagues has some hand
in this matter. Their purpose is to band
the whites together against the blacks all
over the South, to keep down and con-
troll the latter. 1t is an organization to
supply the place Of the Ku-Klux, but more
dangerous than the latter, because more
decent and respectable in appearance and
calculated to gain more general and wider
support. The failure of Ku-Kluxism has
taught the white democrats that its dia-
bolic rites and ceremonies and persecution
and outrages upon negroes were not adj
vantageous to their cause, hence a
change in policy, but we fear no change
in purpose. We are afraid that the policy of
crushing out or exterminating the blacks
is being pushed throughout the South. just
as it has been tried in some of the States
already. We regret this, for it may have
serious consequences. There is way for
whites and blacks to live together in po-
litical equality and the enjoyment of equal
civil rights, and that way we would like to
have them pursue. We would rather they
would hold their elections and manage
their local affairs without asking the
United States troops to interfere to pre-
vent quarrels and bloodshed. This is the
feeling of all republicans in the northern
States. They would be glad to see the
same harmony South as North, the same
observance of the laws, the same respect
for the rights of individuals.
But if the whites of the South, or the
white democrats, or the members of White
Leagues, will pursue policy of war upon
the blacks, defrauding them of their rights,
and rendering them slaves in reality while
ostensibly freemen, then the republicans
of the North will not look quietly on and
see such an outrage consummated. but
they will cast their strength in favor of the
weak, down-trodden and oppressed. Their
generous sentiments towards the South
will not 60 so far as to allow the crushing
out of the blacks. They ask for the
colored people justice, and to secure this
will unite as solidly as they did for
the salvation of the Union in its great
peril. We hope the better class among
them will see the danger upon which
they are rushing by stirring up a strife
founded on race, and move promptly to
avert it. Unfortunately there are men in
the South who prefer war to peace, and do
not care how much the country suffers if
they can be gratified in their wish. Presi-
dent Grant is disposed to show all kind
ness to the southern whites, but we are
satisfied that he will support every right
of the blacks as unHinchingly as the re-
publican party can demand.
