THE WASTE sF NAP

Give me the gold that war has cost.
Before this peace-expanding day
The wasted skill, the labor lost,
me mental treasure thrown away
And viii buy each rood of soil
= In every yet discovered land,
Wnere hunters roam, where peasants toll
Where many-peOpled cities stand.
III clothe each shivsring wretch on eartl
IN needful, nay, in brave attire;
NestuTe befittting banquet mirth,
Which kings might envy and admire.
In every vale, on every plain,
school shall glad the gazer's sight
Where every poor mans child shall gain
Pure knowledge, free as air and light,
In every crowded town shall rise
Halls academic, amply graoed,
Where Ignorance may soon be wise
And eoarseness learn both art and taste
To every province shall belong
COilegiat structures, and NOT few
Filled with truth-expiOring throne.
And teachers of the good and true.
A temple to attract and teach,
Snail Lift its spire on every hill,
Where piOus men shall feel and presch
Peace, mercy, tolerance, goodwill;
Music OF bells on Sabbath-days
Round the whole earth shall gladly rise,
And the great christian song of praise
Stream sweetIy upward TO the skies.

THE CLERGY AND THE TURF.

His grace the bishop of Lincoln and
certain hide-bOund puritanical persons,
are much scandalized at the fact that a
gentleman-a gentleman by nature as
by inheritance-Rev. J. 3. King,
the owner also by inheritance of valu-
able breed of race horses, has, in fulfill
ment of trust bequeathed to him by
his ancestors, endeavOred, and success
fully, too, to preserve this breed of
horses from degeneraey by training the
progeny to the turf. This we hold to be
clerical hypoeritieism, all "boshn and
nonsense, and we much doubt whether
the sermons and example of his grace
and of all the sdismall horrors" which
follow in his train have done so much
good in their generation as has Rev.
]. B. King in his successful efforts to
improve the nOblest and most useful OF
All our domestic animals. God knows.
the Brooklyn and jersey City clerical
scouudreIs are enough to gorge to the
full the most prurient appetites. Dispose
Of them first,ye sanctimoniOus Pharfsees
before YOU arraign Rev. J. B. King
for improving the breed Of horses, while
ALI the agricultural world is filed with
gratitude to Rev. Mr.. Bates for improy.
ing the breed OF cattle, as in the shoot
ing world to Rev. Mr.. Macedonia for his
successful efforts in behalf Of the setter
and pointer. We have no faith in shep-
herds who preach fire, birthstone and
perdition to all who do not make them
selves miserable in this world to eseape
eternal misery in the next. Such peo-
pie frighten away the lambs who would
willingly enter the fold. But we have
faith in any amusement countenanced
by clergymen and gentlemen, for they
give it dignity and Iepute. The most
useful man we have ever known-the
man who did more than any man We
ever saw to refine the community in
which he lived-was a learned, genial
priest of the Anglican church, who rode
il the first flight in the hunting field,
who could try a fly like Michael Morri-
son, and ThO could preach the best ser
mon, DIX the best julep, and play the
best game Of whist in all Virginia.

ON TaE TERRACE.

The stately lady, the grave, calm man,
stood on the terrace together;
Mid the bright rose thickets the reveler!
strayed,
From lawn TO fountain the children played
And hidden music sweet melodies made,
At the Jete in the July weather.
With careless, languid courtesy,
She bent TO hear him speak
OF the newest book and latest play,
OF the keenest move in the ststeslnan's fray
OF the freshest topic of the day,
OF the marvel Of the week.
Lightly, with mis- practised tongue
He touched on all and each,
With here a sneer, and there jest,
And now a grave word, as to attest,
''I give you the foam on the top--the rest
No passing hand can reach"
Yet once, ali, me, how long ago!
Each one was all to the other,
When every whispered word OF his
Woke her young heart TO dream Of bliss,
Does the ghost Of First Loves trembling kiss
Still lingering round them hover?
The measure of the music changed,
On the summer breeze there stole
A low, sweet, SIMPLE homely air,
Such as one ltsta1s TO everywhere,
To the two who lounged on the terrice there
It spoke as TO heart and soul.
Her proud head dropped, his low voice ceased
For moments in thought they stood,
Young, eager, fearless, happy and true,
As when no cold wisdom claimed her due,
When love was fresh and hope was new,
At the tryst in the old oak wood.
A vivid flush on the stern bronzed face,
A tear in the large blue eyes,
TO the world and its talk again,
Custom closed chill Ger the instant's pain,
For thought was folly, and memory vain,
In the path that before them lie.

they viii soon lit themselves out Of
poverty and make themselves felt in the
community. They need have no fears
about their rights aud their liberties.
Heretofore the black man in politics has
been only 8 factor with the Republican
party. Let him now be factor in pro-
noting his own material interests and
be will thereby be serving the whole
south. The exercise Of the rights guar
snteed to the negro BY the amendments

with any Democratic theory IN the
MANAGEMENT of public affairs. AS
factor of southern wealth, he is indis-
nensable 10 the Democratic party OF the
south. 1t is to the interest OF our citi-
zens to live in peace with the cclOred
race. to stimulate their industry and
augment those social and political bless
ings which produce content, industry
and happiness. The Democratic party
has been patient in adversely, and
ii knows how to be generous and
in victory. 1t has q
kindlier feeling toward the colored men
in its hour of deliverance, than when
under the heel of carpetbag thieves and
the despots that protected them. We
cherish the hope that the sntagonism
Of races in the south is at an end. The
true interests of the negroes are identical
with the true interests Of the whites.
Their social and political prosperity are
nor can either now be de-
prived of any of the rights guaranteed
by the constitution without the other
being affected by it. II capital yields

With improvements in
finance and production, the
problem involved in the social and

worked out its own solution. When
his is reached the race issue will disap-
pear from American politics.

IN SAVANNAH.

The assessed total Of property owned
by the negroes Of Georgia is six-mil-
lions one hundred and fifty-seven thou
sand seven hundred and ninety-eight
dollars. This is a most encouraging
statement in view Of the fact that these
negroes were poor, penniless, ignorant
and illiterste nine years ago. 1t viii be
seen from the above that much Of the
property is owned by the women. These
figures show what the cOlored people
have done in Georgia by industry and
economy. We can form no opinion as
10 the savings Of the negroes Of Tennes-
zee, but feel satisfied that there are sew
eral colOred men in Memphis owning
more property than any one negro in
Georgia. We wish Ed Shaw, OF some
other intelligent colored man would
furnish us a statement on this subject.
such publications viii serve 8 good pur-
pose. Property is sensitive, and as men
accumulate ( they become better citi-
zens. Up to the failure Of the Memphis
Freedman's bank the negroes were saw
ing their money. They deposited it in
that defunct, corrupt institution where
il was lost. This has disheartened the
negroes of Memphis, and they spend
their money rs fast as earned, unwilling
10 trust it in other hands. We trust

ISAAC CLEMENTS is in favor OF the civil
rights bill when talking to such colored
Radicals as Bird and Gladney, of Cairo !;
but when addressing himself to tho Re
publieans Of Jackson, Rsdolph and viii.
Hanson counties, who are almost unani-
mously hostile TO the measure, he is either
non-committal or ousspoken in his denun-
Citations. To the editor Of the Chester
Tribune Mr.. Clements declared that he
did not believe that there was any neces-
sity for the passage Of Frslinghuysen's
supplementary bill; that 1t was OF doubt
full consiitutionality, and contemplated
an Invasion " the rights of the States he
could not favor. This, mind you, 10 the
tub he threw to the snti-civil rights whale
OF Randolph county. To tho black civil
rights whale of Cairo his tub Is entirely of
another color.
And in congress, as before the people
OF tho Eighteenth Congression district
the course OF Mr.. Clements was most cow
ardly, not to cay contemplate. Uncer-
tain as TO the drift of public sentiment, in
No single instance did no act the part OF d
bold fearless representative. On a motion
to suspend the rules to pass tho bill, on
the 10Th Of May, he hunted up
one Mr.. Potter, of New York, whose
purpose in the promises had no, been
openly svowed, and paired Of with him.
On the 9Th day Of June. he again search, d
out Mr. Potter and paired of with him.

measure WAS again taken up. where was
Isaac Clements Not ia his seAt-sbsent
purPo'eiy to AVOID the responsibility of
vote.
And now this political coward comes
before the people Of the Eighteenth Con-
OCCASIONAL District and asks their support
tho support Of the 500 colorcd voters of
Alexander and Pulaski counties because
he is an advocate of Civil Rishts--,he
support OF tho white Rspu olcsns OF Ran
dolphi Jackson and Williamson counties
because he is opposed to the bill If by
such double dealing such downright po.
litical dishonesty, Mr.. Clements can win
his way back to Congress, then sptness

aspirants, instead OF such old fashioned
virtues as honesty, uprightnoss and frank.
