The Republicans Of Louisiana, in
State convention, have resolved, that
d,ty and sound policy alike constrain
Us to nominate and support for Office,
nome but men Of known honesty and
capacity, and that men who are un-
mindful Of the interests of the state,
and whose records are reproach to
the party, shall not be permitted to
force themselves upon us in any capac-
ity, under any pretense whatever" If
the Republicans Of Louisiana had ar
rived at this conclusion long ago--be-
fore men Of known dishonesty and in.
capacity were fastened by it upon the
State, it would have been better. Their
resolution in favor Of honesty and
competency is death bed repentance

THE SENTIMENT IN WASHING
TON

w AsnISGTos, august 4, lo74.-There
is a dssrth Of politicians in Washington
at this season OF the year, lsmentAbly so
among the democrats and liberel republi-
cans; yet there are enough to Beep alive
the absorbing topic OF third term for
Grant. The statement printed in the
Herald of to-day from Long Branch to
the effect that Grant was anxious to BIO
the presidential candidate Of the opposit-
Ion party in 1876 was mesgrely antici-
pated here by the press, but enough came
TO whet ~the appetite OF the inquisitive
politicians for more, so the Herald was IN

lect case in point, on one of the North
western railroads: The Superintendent
was vainglorious coxcomb OF militia
General, who attempted to ride over the
rural people living upon the route; he
bullied every man employed under him,
cut down the account of every enc who
furnished wood or material to. the road,
and worried every poor man who had
claim tor damages out of his dues by
contesting it to the extremity of the law.
He was conceded to be the most active
and efficient railroad superintendent in
the country; but the casualties upon
that railroad during his superintency
far oyerbalanced the value Of his servl-
ces, and the Company expended thou
sands of dollars annually in discovering
and convieiing the authors of The cas-
ualties, without materially diminishing.
He was finally superseded by plain,
unassuming man, well known and highly
respected on the line Of the road, and
there has been 40 serious accident and
no difficulty between the Company and
any citizen since. Every one who has
had the opportunity of observing the
insolent and overbearing manner IN
which the rights of the people have been
ignored or disregarded by the Superin-
tendent of the line from KalAma, can
draw their own conclusion. Thousands
of innocent lives have been sacrificed by
the savages upon our frontier IN revenge
for wrongs they have suffered from the
rapacity of uns,rupulous whites; and
probably an equal number have oeen
sacrificed by savage whites to avenGe
the insolence and outrages OF railroad
officials.

~ From the Iowa correspondence OF
the Chicago Journal we take this:
The Grangers of Iowa have 'purchas-
ed the entire patent of the Werner har-
vester, said to be a superior machine.
They have made contract for building
them in this city, so as to sell them for
$40. 1t is designed to have 1,SOO ready
for delivery June Isl, next. Contracts
have been made with the Weed Sewing
Machine Company, by which a reduce
ton to the Grange of forty per cent. is
had. Arrangements are being made for
other implements, which will be an
nounced soon. 1t will not be in with
any of the old combinations or cultiva-
tor rings. The National Grange,in Feb,
will probably complete the work already
inaugurated by the State Oranges of
Iowa and Illinois, and develop to full
maturity the plan for supplying the 60O,-
O00 Changers implements on terms
which will compel a breaking down of
the combinations now formed against
them.

Civil RIGHrs.-Bi.ter complaint has
been made to the Regents of the Uni
versity against Professor Hill for admit
ting colored children into the school,
and one parent-a very ardent and ac-
tive Republican politician has taken
his own children out of the school on
that account. All discussion upon the
proprieties of this question were long
since foreclosed. The paramount law
of the land guarantees to every coiored
citizen all the civil, social and political
rights secured to any white citizel I'M
der the same conditions. Every child
of African descent born in this country
has the same right Of access to our pso-
lie schools as the children of the most
p,iyileoed of Caucasian blood. No
teacher or school officer has any more
legal right to exclude one than the other
If there is right of discrimination 1t IS
in favor of the colored person. The
exclusion of white child from public
school would subject the teacher or Off
Ger who caused it to no penal conse-
ouences. Under the Civil Rights act OF
Congress, to exclude coiored pupil on
account of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude," is misdemeanor,
to he tried by Federal Courts, and pun
ishable by heavy penalties. All good
citizens are bound to obey the laws, ar
whoever rejects the advantages offered
by the Government for the education
of his children, upon the ground that
those advantages are shared by colored
children, to be consistent, would reject
the plan of salvation and his hopes OF
Heaven on the same account.
