wnat an omcer shoula he.

For years we have been sick of the
insane thirst for Office that character
ICES some men. This periodical cleo
pioneering ought to be stopped.
There ought to be more of a dispo-
sition for Office to seek the man than
we have had for a few years. We en-
from the Washington Republic
The man who deals fairly with, his
neighbors will not prove false to the
people whom he serves.
2. He should have ability, and
enough common sense to know how
to use il. The most brilliant attain
ments cannot compensate for lack
of good judgment.
3. fLe should be Industrious.
"Laziness travels SO slowly, that pow
erty soon overtakes him." said Ben.
Franklin. The man, who, through
idleness, allows poverty to oyertake
him, is not fit for a public Office. II
is safe rule to go by, that the man
who neglects his own affairs, cannot
we'll care for those OF the people.
4. He should be methodical man.
Honesty, ability, industry, lose half
their force, without method to direct
them. Order is natures great law.
It should be the law governing all
public officials.
5. He should he a Republican.
Republicanism without the qualities
named, should be listrusted. 1t is a
sham, and unworthy the name it
bears; but Republication in its truest
sense, based upon personal honesty
ability. industry, and method, will do
to build upon. It is sure founda,
ton, as sure as the granite rock tina,
underlies the mountains of New En-
gland.
We have thousands of such men in
our party. They are not found beg.
ging for office; they are found al
home, tending to their own business
improving themselves, their families
and the community in which the,
live. They must be sought out, in
vited to accept Office for the public
good. Bring them to the front; inyes
them with authority; support then
with the fullest share of rublic conf
dencc. and once in office, keep then
there, for the right men in the RICH
place cannot be improved upon.-

InsuIt ton consul.

Commodore Ammen, Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy, August II, received
from the Acting Secretary of State a
dispatch from Tripoli, dated August
Z, stating that the American consul
there and his lady had been insulted
by Tripolitan sailors, and asking
whether any of our vessels Of war
could conveniently reach that point.
Orders were issued that the United
States steamer Hartford, Captain
Harmony, now at Port Said, en- route
home from the Asiatic station, pro-
coed to Tripoli to inquire into the
facts and demand that the perpetra-
tors OF the insult be arrested and
punished. Rear. Admiral Worden.
commanding the European station,
was also Instructed to keep himself
advised of the circumstances, and, if
necessary, send other vessels to Tri-.
poll. to act with the Hartford.

In Indiana people can be shot in

Senator Morton didn't ask in his

assailed. Senator Morton and his
friends are exceedingly watchful for
this latter sort of violation of law

danger to the nation through the
death of one Kentucky negro, than

On September 9th, 1876. The In
dustrial Exhibition Company holds
its Fifth Premium Allotment, and
distributes One Hundred and Fifty
thousand Dollars, in principal and
interest, among the one thousand
Bonds, that were elected to be re-
deemed in the series allotment Of July
9th. this year.
Many of these bonds had been sold
for Twenty Dollars prior to the draw
ing. There remains in the hands of
the Company a limited number of
Bonds, which will be sold in fractions
of Five Dollars each-each one Of
these fractions represents one fortieth
of q whole bond, and the holder
would receive one fortieth Of any pre-
MUM. The highest premium would
be for fraction, $500, and many of
less amounts. Provided the holder
of a fraction fails to draw q premium
in excess of Five Dollars, the amount
invested, he can use his fraction in
the purchase of a Twenty Dollar
Bond, the Company agreeing to re-
ceive all fractions at par, IS, as a
quarter payment in the purchase of a
Bond. This gives. each person the
chance TO draw a premium, and if un-
successful, no loss is made. M
In case the fractions are all sold,
the money will be returned at the ex-
pense Of the Company.
Remittances for fractions should be
made only to The Industrial Exhi-
bition Co., No. IL East 18th Street

A white Radical was teaching a

he went to the polls and voted the

drive Northern men from the schools

to listen to and applaud the Southern
men, of all others most offensive to
the people of the North. This is the
nature OF the reconciliation demanded
by the South 1t will not, however,
be acceded to by the North. There
must be freedom of speech every
where or nowhere. and this means
that there must be complete civil and
political equality between the white
man and the black man. When this
shall: become practical fact through.
out the South wrangling about JEFF
Davis will cease. From that moment
he will cease to be of any consequence
in any part of the country. All his
importance now arises from the fact
of his position as leader of the late
rebellion. 1t is for this reason he is
honored at the South, and it is be
cause he is so honored there on sucl
grounds that he cannot, and ough
not, to be honored here.-Inter
