poverty to my prosperity felt 1t duty to
fight his battles, because he was powerless to
fight his own. He was down, ground down.
by the iron heel of q social system whose lep-
rous influence spread like sitting pail over
the whole world, and when once thoroughly
realizing the terrible wretehedness of his
oppression, I consecrated my life to the
cause of the total and permanent abo-
lition Of human slavery throughout the
world. AS long as lived that conservation
was sacred. As long as lived I employed
my every talent in this most righteous cause.
My heart was the champion of freedom: my
journal was the exponent Of human liberty;
my life was given to the work, and. when death
checked this career my last wish was that the

firm and uncompromising ground that man.
kind was not created for bondage. This wish
has not been gratihed. You have sacrificed
the slave for policy. You have suffered the
existence of inhumanity to appease a morbid
desire to oppose an administration. You have
attempted to satiate an avaricious desire by
bartering the influence of my psptr for the
glitter of filthy lucre. You have aided and
abetted the master in Cuba in his barbarity to
his serf by courting Spanish favor through its
columns. You have sold its body to the devil
and its influence to hell, and may 4 gracious

"BUr the day has gone by" says the
New York Tribune, in allusion to Mr..
BIorton's Mississippi resolution, when
"any party could be served by mere
"Outage Report, such as Senator Morton
apparently wishes to prepare. This
may be true, but we doubt it. Already
the people of the North are reviving their
interest in Southern affairs, because they
have discovered that the intimidation, pro.
scription and murder of Republican voters
in the Southern States have resulted in send
ing red handed rebels TO Congress to legis-
late for them and to turn Union men out of
Office Not only this, but they are begin
ming to ask seriously, particularly regard
ing the Mississippi case, in which, as every
one knows, the Democrats succeeded only
by violently disfranclfising the majority of
the voters of the State. What can be done
to remedy this condition of afairsf Per-
haps the result of the investigation pro-
posed by Mr.. Morton will embrace sug-
gestion for this purpose. But, whether it
does or not, it may lay the foundation Of
solid and substantial reasons why the United
States Senators to be elected by the fraudu-
NEGLECTED Legislature of Mississippi
should not be entitled to the seats they will
impudently claim in the future.

SOME enterprising interviewer of the
Rerold attempted to pump" Secretary
Fish in New York the other day, and, as q
matter of course, failed. The Secretary is
too shrewd and cautious to disclose State
secrets to stranger, and above all to such
sensational writers as the Herald is known
to keep in its employ. However, the in
terviewer reports that the Secretary did say
that "both countries" meaning Spain and
the United States, 'tare on the best of
"terms, and the little difficulty in regard
"to the adjustment Of claims in Cuba is in
"the best possible way of amicable adjust
ment." We venture the assertion that
this is not correct report of the Secretary's
statement. He could not have character
lied the claims of American citizens for
damages 10 their property in Cuba as
'litile difficulty" because he Of all other
men in the country must know that they
amount in the aggregate to morethan three
times the sum total of the Alabama claims
over which we came very near going to
war with Great Britain. The aggregate
amounts of these pending before the Span

riety, and claims that it was the Methodist
Church, and not General Butler, which got
Simmons his place. The reason for this is
plain. The General is temporarily out of
politics, and the Opposition is determined,
if possible, to get the Methodist Church
temporarily into politics. We will not stop
to discuss the comparative loss or gain to
the public by this attempted substitution
of Church for General; but we cannot
refrain from the remark that the enemies
of the Administration would be as apt to
assail cne as the other, or anything else for
that matter, if by so doing they imagined
they could injure the President.

A SPECIES of red granite has been dis
covered near the st. Cloud river, il Min
nesota, which IS said by competent judges
to be equal, if not superior, to the famous
Scotch granite of Aberdeen. Within three
fourtbs OF q mile of railroad transportation,
it covers an area of about eight acres.
rising TO o height of fifty feet from its
base, is very besutiful in color and tex
ture, and is now being developed by
this company, Red and white granite lie
side by side, and blocks of immense size
have been quarried with great facility. 1t
is cheaply quarried, is cut and dressed as
easily and rapidly as the Eastern granite,
susceptible of a perfect polish and marvel
ously beautiful when polished. We can
see no impediment to its ultimate adoption
for building our public edifces. CutIor in
the rough stone it would be inexpensive,

THE New York Tribune hopes that Con-
gress will keep its hands of the st. Louis
whisky csses until after they have passed
through the crucible of judicial trial. This
hope will hardly be realized. The Demo
Gratis in the House are 50 anxious to begin
to throw mud that they will undoubtedly
begin to investigate everything as soon as
possible, even at the risk of making public
a great deal of information which should
be concealed from the members of the ring.
In other words, the Democrats are not so
anxious to subserve the ends of justice as
they are to iDjure the Republican party by
making out a partisan committee or &C

organization.

THE New York Sun has discovered that
Speaker Kerr appointed subsidy Com

literal anti-subsidy instructions from the
"whole House" Thereupon it denounces
him for not subordinating his private senti-
ment to the prevailing sentiment of the
House. In this the Sun betrays its ignor-
ance of the peculiarities of the House, par
ticularly now that it is under Democratic
control. One OF those peculiarities is to
promise at the beginning of each session to
do and not to do anything and everything
that is good, bad or Indifferent, and then
to proceed to do just as the majority may

The tramp is one OF the component parts of
the genus hoodlum of California. He is the

diary and general nuisance. The State is
overrun with them. The blasts of winter have
driven them suddenly from the Northeast, and
like herd of wandering cattle they have filled
up the vacant places of the Golden State
caused by the exodus of the innumerable cara
van Of speculative hunters who have hereto
fore overrun that section Of the Union in search
of the almighty dollar. They are there, and
in the halmy atmosphere of that sunny cline
they find so much comfort that they refuse to
migrate. For the past two months the State
has suffered more from this particular pest
than during whole years before. A lone man
wandering in the country is sure to be pounced
upon by the human hyenas, robbed, and in
case Of profered resistance, murdered. Women
are not safe anywhere without an escort, and
If perchsuce, by negligence, farmer forgets

Justly characterized as SUCH has become
SO general that measures are being taken
to secure some kind of punishment to these
men that will be more summary and effective
than the simple operation of the law in fine
and imprisonment. II is proposed to make it
justifable assault and battery to fog these
men wherever found without waiting for the
slow process of law. Whipping posts are to
be established, or rather any thing in the
country of sufficient strength and stability is
to be common property to all as a whipping
post. If tramp is discovered suspiciously
lettering in the neighborhood of granary
the ewner Of the property has the right to cap
ture him, bind him to fence, stake, tree, stump,
or anything else convenient, aud administer
the lash without incurring any risk of q legal
process. Wherever the trampis found he is
liable to be captured and without trial pun
ished in this summary way. By this process
it is believed that the constituent part of
hoodlumism found in the person of tramp
win so be abolished.
Whitelaw Reid had laid away his velvet
