tion OF the condition Of our people
must have lost much of tie power 10
fr1ghten> the people Of the North.
In many portions of this State, and
nearly every Northern State, white
and eoiored children attend the same
schoola,'and 'nobcty.is hurt. How
lis this? Are Southern white chill
dren any better than Northern
white children? Ipat1se for a reply.
All I ask, is a calm, dispassionnate
consideration Of the equities OF this
subject by the American people,
and I am satisfied they viii render
a verdict in our favor. The charge
that $50:
NEGRO SUFFRAGE
has proven a failure, because in GER
tain Southern States, where the COL
ored voters are in a majority, mis-
takes have been made, and through
unwise and profigate legislation the
public debt increased, and some
corrupt and dishonest men HAYS
succeeded in obtaining Office, is 40
ridiculous and absurd az it would
have been for the people Of the
older, more intelligent and. expert
enced communities to have held
that the people Of Indiana, in their
earlier days, when similar mistakes
were made, were incompetent to
ezercise.the right Of suffrage; or
when Boss Tweed and his con-
federates robbed the city Of New
York, therefore the people Of that
city were incompetent to vote. To
the thoughtful and unbiased mind,
the conduct Of the colored people
gives hopeful evidence of their,
capacity for aself-government. and
in no direction has this been made
more apparent than IN their modest
demands and the universal desire
to obtain the best material to be
had to fill the Offices. In South
Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana
with q majority Of voters, they
have never claimed nor taken more
than a third of the Offices, and these
generally second rate ones. In
where you hear so much
about "negro government" NEGRO
domination" and "negros suprem-
acy," the Governor, Auditor ofState,

The New Chief Jus ice.

President Grants third nominee
Morrison r.. Waite, Of Ohio, to be
Chief Justice of the Z. s. Supreme
Court, was confirmed by the Senate
on Wednesday last. Sixty-thret
Senators voted for his confirmation
and nine Senators were absent. or not
voting. Our New Chief Justice is
thus described by the papers:
Mr.. Waite is represented by those
who know him well to be II man OF
excellent reputation, at once honest in
the highest sense, and capable accord
inc to the highest order of ability.
He is not brilliant either in debate on
in the ordinary flow Of conversation,
He is animated, quick and strong,
but never snowy. He has deeply
studied American polity and iurispru-
dencc He was never willing to be a
lawyer His friends say that being
eminently successful in the sense of
having many and important eases,
Mr. Waite was not indebted for his
heavy docket to Il heavy conscience
or to swift feet, but to ability and
learning, such rs no mere Lawyer can
appreciate lie is as II lawyer at
once practical and philosophic, philo
sophicolly practical and practically
philosophic. \ stout but not heavy
figure, of medium stature. with face
of strong but pleasing features, the
new Chief Justice, while decidedly en-
dowed with what is called "presence'
and decidedly of dignified demeanor,
is rs unassu uing in his private man.
ners as he is unpretending in his pub
lie uttcranceS. lie is earnest, simple
and straightforward, and his DISPOSE
ton is that of man as amiable as one
OF so much will can be. His temper
is all that could be desired He was
born at Lyme, Conu,, and is row
about 81 years of age. In politics he
was a Wing until the formation of the
Republican party, which he joined
and has ever since been recognized as
Il conservative member of the latter
party.

If there is any of the reconstruct
ed States where the people are literal
" taxed ont of house and home, Ar
kansas IS the one I'm order to be
sure that the assessors shall not per-
NIT any mdervaluation of property,
they are paid commission on the
amount assessed. so that the higher
the valuation they return the larger
will be their own share of the plumber.
The idea Of paying assessors by com
mission is novel, and its natural effect
obvious. This plan is so brilliant
that it is almost safe to say that it
must have orr ginated in the prolific
brain of Grants particular friend,
Senator Clayton, to whom the people
Of Arkansas are deeply indebted in
many ways. If Il tax on personal
property is not paid, the collector may
seize it and sell enough to cover the
amount due with costs and fifty per
cent. on the whole besides, paying
himself for his trouble. If 4 real cs
tate owner fails to pay his taxes, his
property is sold at auction under pro
visions which render it almost impos-
sible that he can ever recover it. In
case no purchasers come forward to
bid for such property, then, in order
to make sure that the owner is pro-
perly punished for his poverty, the
State steps in. buys it, and gives it
away to certain railroad companies.
And yet, strange to say, there are
very few white men to be found in
this benighted State who are able to
properly appreciate the blessings of
living under a republican form of gov
eminent.

The Late Chief Justice Roger B
fancy.

1t is but tardy Justice that the L.
). Senate has done to the memory of
Roger Is. fancy by voting an appro-
priation to place his bust alongside
those of others who have occupied the
same exalted position in the Supreme
Court room. But at no other time
could this action be more significant
than when, as now, the high Office of
Chief Justice is degraded by associa
ton with the purchase of landaulets
and horses, and the hire of grooms
and Wallets, through the Department of
Justice. The purity and incorrupti-
bility OF Judge Taney's official charac-
ter his unselishness as man, and
his utter lack of the faculty, now too
common, of securing personal case
and pecuniary profit from his public
position, are qualities we cannot afford
to iorget in these days. Ii Is perhaps
even well that the partisan distortion
Of the language and import of the
bred Scott decision has kept him SO
prominently before the public since
his death, that the example of his
character and life may be more wide
" evideAt. 1t is noticeable that the
vote on this appropriations was hurried
through the Senate during Mr.. Sum
ners absence, and the narrow and
bigoted protest Of that Senator was
thus avoided.
