THE biogrspher Of Lexington IN the Tarf,
Fed and Fdrm for July Q, settles, among
other things, the facts that blind horse can
see, and that animals have souls. BE opens
with the pathetic information that Lexngton's
death twas not unexpected, as his health had
been very feeble ever since the crocus bloomed
as the harbinger of spring." which is avery
pretty sentence, by the way, though rather
trite at first. Further on we learn that "Lex-
ington spent the longest portion of his exist
ence in blindness. His sightless eyes won for
him the sympathy of all who ever gazed upon
his noble FORM" Homer's and the Irish band,
Carolan's, never did more, but thu. e..astounding
part of 1t is, s'had 1t not been for q catarrh he
might have seen the flowers of several more
summers come and CO." Doubtless the writer
knows how, with his sightless eyes, she might
have seen the flowers of several summers come
and go;" but it will puzzle most people. 1t Is
the following extract which satisfies US that
Lexington had soul #" The spirit of the
blind stallion will hover over the place which
he has clothed with fame, and in the years to
come thousands who have never seen him, but
who have heard of his deeds, will uncover
their heads when they tread near his grave" ="

THE socalled assessments for political
purposes, " of which so much is heard now
a-days, are perfectly proper and it must be
admitted somewhat e. sential. The direct
personal benefit from party success is de-
rived by the Office holding portion of the
community. To secure that success the
expenditure of money in a legitimate way
is necessary, and it is but simple justice
that those who derive the benefit referred
to should contribute of their salaries some
thing for that purpose. The Democratic
party recognized the force of this logic
while it was in power to the extent of
making forced assessments something after
the manner of q Mexican forced loan. All
that the Republican party does now is to
suggest that interested persons shall volun-
tarily contribute a reasonable sum. Cap
tious people may characterize this proceed
ing as an assessment, but when they do
they simply show that they have not for
gotten the old Democratic method, and that
they confound it with the present system.
There is no law or regulation in force In
the Departments to prevent any one from
giving to campaign fund or to prevent
duly authorized persons from asking for
contributions. No thorough Republican
will object to this explanation, and no good
Republican who desires the continued sue
cess of the party will object to the circular
of Judge Edmunds, secretary of the Union
Congressional Republican Executive Com
mittee which is now being circulated for
this object in the several Departments.

A Cool-headed Southern Estimate Of General
Preston's Address.

CFrom the Valley vIrginian.I
The speech of Gen. Preston, of South Caro-
lima, at the University of Virginia semi-centen-
nial, on Thursday last, is generally regarded
as being In bad taste. He attempted to draw
a distinction between the civilizations effected
by the settlement at jamestown, Va, and
Plymouth, Massachusetts,, and gave pre-emi-
nent ascendancy to the achievement of the
former. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
Gen. Preston belongs to that class of Bourbons
who never learn and never forget anything. If
1t can be called civilization to keep in bondage
for two hundred years one class of human
beings, who have been endowed with brain and
soul, and to make 1t a crime to educate them
in the rudiments OF knowledge, SO as to un-
derstand their relations to the civil and moral
law, then the results of the jamestown propa-
cation have been eminently successful. We
are inclined to the belief that the school,
houses and the workshops which dot over New
England and stand as monuments of the en-
ergy and enlightened progress of the descend
ants of the Puritans will compare favorably
with the negro cabins, stolid ignorance and
petty crimes which mark the civilization that
iowed from the peculiar ideas of the Cavaliers
and Huguenots, who crystallized prejudices
Tito laws and passions into religious canons.
Mr.. Preston's speech might nave DeenregardeQ
as appropriate and fitting twenty years ago,
but the conflict of ideas, as represented by
Plymouth and jamestown, which deluged the
country in four years of blood and carnage,
and in which the peculiar notions of Mr.. Pres
ton went down, never again to arise, has en-
abled the people of the South to view these
two civilizations from different standpoint,
and to accord to the "moral ideas" of the one
the supremacy over the repre- essiye and bar
barous system of the other. Impartial and
rejecting minds everywhere throughout the
civilized world must acknowledge this, and it
is only men like Mr.. Preston who will insult
an advanced civilization by proclaiming such
bigoted nonsense as marked his misplaced and
insidious arguments.

"THE New Colored Departure is what
the Opposition press call the declaration OF
Messrs. Langston and Douglass at Hillsdale
on the 5th instant. But the more they ex
anime the addresses made by these colored
orators the less they are pleased. At first
glance they assumed that the colored peo-
pie were about to leave the Republican
party without delay. Now they understand
that the Hillsdale movement if such it may
be called, was simply intended to prepare
the colored people for the assumption Of
individual responsibility, and to induce
them to abandon the habit or custom of &C
cepting protection from others. The true
explanation of their past condition is that
while they have been habituated to consider
themselves dependent upon friends-some
of them false-they have always been clam
orous for independence. If the suggestions
of the speakers referred to bear fruit the
colored people will throw off their depend
ent condition and at once assume a true IN
dependence, but in any event they will not
and cannot change their political status
consistently,

THE Herald is now satisfied that if Gen.
Grant and his Northern Republican friends
will go over 'fbody and breeches' to the
Southern Democrats and appoint the latter
to Office in that section, in accordance with
the suggestions of its Republican % CORE
spondent, Nordhof, the Republican party
may carry the Southern States at the next
election. A Republican victory under old
Wing, i. e., Democratic leaders What q
splendid operation that would be anyhow
But that is the HeraId's idea of party poll
tics. With it principles are nothing, but
victory is everything. This simply con-
firms what we have alleged with regard to
Nordhoff's s Republicanism. 1t is of the
same type with the ReraEds, inconsistent
and changeful.

OLD NICK has a fine time, so to speak,
during the cheated term" in the moneyed
and fashionable centres of the country.
The clergymen who fill the pulpits in those
localities find, like the politicians, conve-
nient excuse to abandon their charges just
now in the form of Physicians recon-
mendation for leave of absence from mental
exertion. The result is that two thirds of
the churches are closed in Brooklyn, New
York, Boston and other similar localities,
while the congregations enjoy themselves
at summer retreats, and prepare for the
heated term which such laxity of reli-
gieus discipline suggests as very certain in
the mysterious hereafter.

MEssRs. MCKEE & HAUsER, of the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, earnestly invite the
attention of the grand jury now in session
in that city TO the charges made against
them in connection with the whisky ring
frauds. 1t seems to be probable that these
charges are the result of malice or Jealousy,
as are many others that have been alleged
against prominent Government foficials.
When the grand jury shall have closed the
investigation of the subject proper, it might
be profitable thing for it to begin an in
vestigation as to their authorship. The
truth is, the Government is always ham
pered nowadays in its efforts to bring
alleged criminals to justice by charges and
couRter-charges for and against parties di'
Hrectly and indirectly connected with the
case that may be in question, and it is
about time something should be done to put
a stop to the practice.

The Soft Currency Party.


We see it stated that Butler, Benjamin F.,
has joined the Morton, Logan, Kelley and
others of soft currency party in favor of in.
fiation, in publication setting forth his views
at length. He believes in expansion, in credit,
in giving next to nothing for something that is
valuable, in the old bad currency, in the pres
ent bad currency, and in perpetual hard cur
rency. Here are some New and Old World
tests in answer to such bad examples:
What John Adams called it-"Lust fol
paper money"
What Washington said" Depreciation
keeps pace with the quantity Of the emission
What Hamilton said" Prohibition wisely
prohibited to individual States, and ought tC
be regarded by the United States Govern
ment"
What Webster called .it-"The robbery o.
deprecated paper"
Richard Lee" Nefarious plan of specula
tion."
John Stuart Mill" Printing few charac.
ters on bits of paper.'

In WISCONSIN an effort is being made by
an astute mathematician to prove that the
Centennial of American Independence will
occur in 1877. He claims that there have
been only ninety eight celebrations Of the
anniversary, and subtracts 1777 from 1875
TO prove it. As 1777 was the first anniver-
sary, his theory is apt to mislead those who
do not remember that the beginning of the
century was 1776. In other words, includ-
ing 1777 there have been ninety-nine anni-
versaries, as all the world knows, and the
deception exists in inducing the puzzled
victim to make use of the wrong number
of the wear in subtracting.

Why So SIlentl

CFrom che Rochester Express.1
In view of the fact that the Presidents $
letter repudiating any intention to work for
third term clearly meant that he wanted a
third, and meant to procure it, the whole
affair has been dropped with strange una
nimity by the press. If those patriotic gentle
men who raised such a bullabaloo over the
"saving clause" in the Presidents letter,
and declared that now it was certain that
Grant was working to overthrow the "un-
written law" and all such spooky statutes,
really believed what they said, why have they
permitted their anxiety to wsne and disappear
Have they forgotten that "eternal vigilance
is the price of nbertyw Do they propose to
permit the tyrant to steal away our freedom
unresisted?
National Republican., 1875-07-13

The Sun explains the distinction between
the legitimacy of Gov. Tilden's sojourn at
Long Branch and its alleged illegitimscy of
that of President Grant at the same place
by supposing that Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer
is the acting Executive of New York during
the absence of Tilden from the State. Al
though this supposition is innocent OF
truth, in fact, the analogy is wanting
from the fact that while Tilden is absent
from the jurisdiction of the State the Presi-
dent resides within that of the United
States. General Grant may reside at Long
Branch with just as much propriety as Gov.
Tilden may sojourn in the city of New
York, so far as any analogy in the two
cases is concerned.

THE Repudiationists in Virginia are max
ing headway in the ranks of the Conserva-
tive party, but fail to draw any recruits
from the Republican fold. This might
have been expected, as the sore-head por-
tion of the Commonwealth, the men who
lost their investments in Confederate bonds
and stocks, and who are consequently anx-
ious to spite some one else, are Conservs-
tives. In the meantime, if it is not consid-
cred impertinent we would like to know
what has become Of the unimpeachsble
honor and the snow-white integrity of the
chivalryf They boast of their love for
their State, and offer to imperil their lives
in her defense but when it comes to paw.
ing few paltry dollars to preserve her
credit they begin to beg of, and finally Sc
riously entertain the idea of repudiation.

IT Is PREDICTED that JEFF. Davis, who
will soon become citizen of Texas, will
succeed the Hon. NJ c. Hamilton as United
States Senator from that State. Hamilton s
term expires in 1877. Of course, this idea
will be hooted at as impossible; but, after
all, it would not be so strange as the posi-
bility appeared fifteen years ago of the
election to the House from North Carolina
of thrice-sold slave, like John A. Hyman,
who now represents the Raleigh district of
that State
