WHAT OF THE NIGHT ?
CALEDONIA, July %, 1874.

DEAR BULLETIN In the address
of j.. j. Bird, at Carbonate, reported
in late issue of TUE BULLETIN, the
speaker said 1.-TWO hundred aud forty
years of our history in this country was
one long night of darkness and despair.
We waited, hoped and prayed, Often
times in the gloomiest hour of our sor-
row, VIC would cry, "Wa,chman tell US
Of the night, what its signs of promise
are p The answer would come back
falling on our ears with redoubled
force, Perpetual slavery and ignorance
is your doom forever
1t appears to me that the aforesaid
Waterman is purely All imaginary
being. lie might as well haye an
sNered more truthfully, The speaker
could easily, in the ligh, Of recent
events, have made him do so by sup
posing hi. answer to be "Iou will

But | intend no criticism upon
either the speaker or the poetical state
meuts Of the wrongs done his race.
RISES TO EXPLAIN.
Only this Some ideas suggested
themselves to my mind, the which
rise to explain First-That the aver
age reader Of The BULLETIN would
infer that the speaker deeply regretted
that slavery had ever existed in the
country, and that the white people Ind
perpetuated great wrong upon the
negro in thus holding him as slave
Now comes the questions are we to
understand that the white and black
people who thus express themselves
believe That if slavery had never ex-
listed that any considerable number of
negroes could now be found in the
United States Or if not, then that
they regret that those imported, and
their descendants, did not remain to en-
JOY their savage freedom and diet of

ployed in several Of the daily news
paper offices. A high state of feeling
has existed among the uuion printers
since, which eliminated in diabolacial
sct few nights since. After partak
ing of the regular midnight lunch, a
number of the compositors in the
Gazette Office were taken violently
sick and showed all the symptoms OF
having been poisoned. 1t is almost
certain that the attempt to thus sum

Union men. That it failed was fort
innate for the intended victims but

cate the principles il believes to be wise
political principles, opposing whatever
party opposes them and supporting
Whatever party advocates them. To
use the machinery Of the Democratic
party in an effort to secure the success
Of correct political principles is in the
opinion of The Times, wise, but the
name of the party must be rejected
and its malodorous record disayowed.
In making the PROCLAMATION we un.
derstand the assertion to be made, that,
If citizens, organized as a political
party, were to permit The Times to
write declaration Of principles for them
and were to pledge themselves to carry
those principles into effect in the gov
ernment of the country, being success
full at the polls, that journal would
nevertheless oppose their efforts to
secure public endorsement of their
avowed principles, if they should dc.
termiue to call themselves Democrats
This, in our opinion, is an unfor.
tunato position. We stand in advo-
cacy of political principles by the side
Of Tho Times, but we will not permit
name or record to drive us into op-
position to those principles. We will
support any party, BY whatever named
called, that advocates our political
principles we will oppose any party,
by whatever name called, that does not
advocate them. The ghost of a name
shall not brighten us into an alliance
with the advocates of dangerous and
pcrnicious political principles.
1t is a foregone conclusion that a
State convention Of the people op-
posed to Radicalism will convene in
this State.
IL is u foregone conclusion, that, if
that convention speaks with the voice
of its constituents, it will declare for
honest money, the establishment of
tho anti-monopoly system Of CONNER
cial freedom,and honesty and economy
in the administration of the govern
ment.
1t is foregone conclusion, that the
people opposed TO Radicalism, repre-.
sented in this convention, will, in their
conflict with the Radicals, use the
machinery of the Democratic party.
1t is a foregone conclusion, that
these opponents Of Radicalism, thus
using the machinery of the Democratic
party, will be called Democrats.
Will this fact-the use of n dis.
tasteful namc-7justify The Times in
opposing the opposition people, thus
organized, when they have made declara.

in this issue of The BULLETIN, calls
our attention TO the fact that it SIS an
independent journal, with very decided
political convictions, based on what it
believes to be principles of truth" 1t
needs no ghost to come from the grave
20 tell us this. The record of The
Times is well-kuow to US aud, it il
because We know that journal TO be the
advocate Of sound political principles
that we wish the Opposition people of
Illinois, using the machinery of the
Democratic party, to formally give ex-
preston TO the principles SO ably ad
vocated by The Times, and thus Sc,

drive from power Radicalism, which il

BISHOP GIBBONS ON GLADsToNE's PAM
PHLET - Bishop Gibbous, of Richmond, in a
letter to the New York Herald, gives bis views
upon the Gladstone Maoniug controversy. He
afhrms that the declaration Of the Pope's inia
libility by the Ecumenica Couucil docs not 10
the slightest degree alter the relations existing
between temporal and spiritual powers, but is
merely formal affirmation of the dotriue which
has been admitted during the whole existence
of the Church. The definition OF infallibility,
according to Bishop Gibbons, strictly couaues
the Papal prerogative to faith and morals, and
he declares that Catholics have suffered too
much iu the sacred cause of liberty TO raise
their hands against it. He thinks it strange
that while Gladstone trembes at the imaginary
authority of the Pope over State he should be
Indifferent to the actual tyranny of Bismarck
over reli1 zion.

county has been paid-most of the tax bills 60
over into the hands Of the Township Collectors,

THE KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS,
Kalakana, King of the Sauwich lsIauds, ar
rived at San Francisco on Saturday evening IN
the steamship Benicia, aud was formally re-
csived by the municipal authorities on Sunday.
About six thousand people witnessed the de-
barkation. The flags of the shipping and OF
most of the public Offices were displayed. The
King was brought from the Benicla 10 the
commander steam yacht, on the arrival OF
which salutes were fired by the war vessels IN
the harbor and by the city guard at the pier.
Considerable enthusiasm prevailed, and
grand rush was made to get glimpse OF the
King, who, with Mayor Otis and other dlgnl-
taries, proceeded in carriage to the Grand
hotel, followed by an immense throng, which
rendered it difficult for the military escort and
carriages occupied by the King and suite to
pick their way through them. The King was
dressed plainly, nothing in the costume DEPOT
ing royalty. He seemed the most Indifferent
of the assembled thousands The party will
remain 10 San Francisco few days, when they
will proceed to Washington, after which they
intend to visit the priBcipal Eastern cities.
The King says he is merely on visit to the
President, and will take no part in negotiations
for reciprocity treaty 1t is not known when
he will take his departure for Washington.

The Richmond Whig,in noticing the meeting
of the Legislature on Wednesday, we'll says :
There is too much legislation. The DISPOSE
ton manifested at every session of the General
Assembly to change the laws should not be
encouraged by the people. Of course bad
laws ought to be changed, but when we have a
system of laws embodied in a code, it is childish
to be constantly tinkering with it. No sooner
do the people become familiar with the laws
than they are changed.
