Reform Inside of the Party.

a
The Cincinnati Gazette very peril
nently called attention to the fact
some days ago that whatever politi-
cal reform is now going on in this
country is being made inside the
ranks of the Republican party. The
Senatorial elections as far as they
have been in the hands of Republi-
cans, have been carried with a high
and commendable purpose. Car
penter and Chandler, Senators, have
been set aside and men put in their
places whose ability, integrity, and
spotless lives are alike above ques-
tion. On the contrary, how have
the Democrats improved their oppor-
tunity for similar reforms? Instead
of Schurz, the ablest Democrat in the
Senate, they return an obscure Con-
federate Brigadier whose only claim
to the position of Senator is his rec
ord as soldier against the Union.
Instead of sending an able, incor
ruptible Senator from Pennsylvania,
they have put forward Coffee Pot
Wallace, small politician with the
stain upon his name of an acknOwl-
edged connivance at election frauds.
In Congress, instead of endeavoring
to legislate for the good of the cOun-
try, they have spent the entire ses-
sion in a desperate struggle for party
capital and to prevent the Republi-
cans from accomplishing the needed
work of the session Even Senator
Thurman no longer shows the
breadth of statesman, but bends to
the demand that requires of him to
be n narrow, trucking partisan.
Meanwhile the credulous Republi
can who voted with the Democrats
last fall on the supposition that they
were supporting reform movement
are beginning to grow impatient and
to ask when and where the 'refOrm"

Catholicism and the COlored
Men.

Danyii!e (Fa.) Cor. Boston Globe.
A new movement has set in among
the colored people. / was informed,
before leaving Boston, that the Ro.
man priesthood were actively at work
among the colored leaders in Ameri-
ca, Nerth as well as South; that the
black race was to be won over to the
Catholic Church, and that the ques-
tiOn of caste, as it involved civil
equality before the law and religious
equality in the worship of God, was
the issue upon which this work was
to be accomplished. l began my in
yestigation of this phase of the
Southern question in New York, and
have continued it down to this date,
Sndsat this place. am now prepar-
ed to say that the evidence in my
possession is overwhelmingly con-
clusively upon the following state
ments:
First, That If the Protestant
Churches of the South maintain
caste in the worship of God, and in
the theological seminaries for the
education of youth for the ministry,
that the colored people will go over
finally to the Catholic Church.
Second, That if the Protestant
North ahandons the blacks on the is
sue of civil rights, then the blacks of
the South will join the monarchial
party, which is gaining rapidly at the
South, and which has its active disci-
piles in every Southern community
from among the colored people.

hood Is to be perpetual. The first
ten Years are golden years, that
should be filed with systematic read
ing and observation. Everything
that tends to professional and per-
sonaI excellence should be an object
of daily pursuit. To such men the
doors Of success open of themselves
at last Work seeks the best hands,
as naturally as water runs down
hill; and it never seeks the hands of
a trifier. or of one whose only recon-
mendstion for work is that he needs
it. Young men do not know very
muchany way, and the time always
comes TO those who become worthy,
when they look back with wonder
upon their early good opinion of their
aequirements and themselves.
Thee is another point that ought
not u l3 overlooked in the treatment
of this subject. Young men look
about them and see great measure
of worldly success awarded to men
without principle. They see the
trick sererowned with public honors,
they see the swindler rolling in
wealth they see the sharp man, the
oyerreaching man, the unprincipled
man, the liar, the demagogue, the
time7server, the trimmer, the scoun-
drel Who cunningly manages, through
constantly disobeying moral law and
trampling upon social courtesy, to
keep Aimself out of the clutches of
the hSal police, carrying off the
prizes of wealth and placess All this
is demoralizing puzzle and fear
full temptation; and multitudes of
young men are not strong enough to
stand Before it. They ought to un-
dersfsnd that in this wicked world
there is a great deal of room where
thereis integrity. Great trusts may
he sought by scoundrels, but great
trusts never seek them; and perfect
integrity is at premium even
among scoundrels. There are some
trusts that they will never confer on
each other There are occasions
whensthey need the services of true
men, and they do not find them in
shoak and in the mud, but alone and
in pufe water.
In Che realm of eminent acquire
ments and eminent integrity there is
always room enough. Let no young
man of industry and perfect honesty
despair because his profession or call

THE STATUS OF THE NEGRO.
A COlOrcd Mans Answer to the
Chicago Times.
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 11th, 1875.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 11th, 1875.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
A leading editorial in the weekly.
Chicago Times of Jan. 6, entitled the
''Status of the Negro" deserves
more than a passing notice from col
ored men. 1 hope you will allow
little space in your paper for an an
swer to some of the false reasoning
of the philosopher of the Times.
Among other Inconsistencies the
Times says:
The negro has the right of suffrage,
and it is not likely that an attempt
will ever be made to take it from him.
Still, it must be conceded that ne
gro suffrage has thus far proved a
failure. 1t has not satisfied the
hopes of any one; it has not resulted
in beneftting the condition ofnegroes
even in States where they cast the
majority of the votes. In no States
in the Union is the condition of the
negro so deplorable rs in South
Carolina and Louisiana, where their
votes have elected both the State and
local officers.
That the condition of the colored
people in those States is "deplora-
ble," is beyond question; but the
learned philosopher of the Times ut
terly fails to inform his readers the
causes of the 'deplorable" condition.
In the first place, the colored people
of the South are, as a class, ignorant
and uneducated; they are a conf
ding, inoffensive people; they have
been mislead in very many instances,
in that they have elected to office in
competent, unworthy, unreliable
scoundrels. In that particular their
intelligence is no worse than that ele-
ment that constitutes the voters of
the Five Points in New York, or
those who elected "Boss" Tweed to
the State Senate. That through ig
norance they have elected bad men
to office, and that these officials in
many instances have been very cor
rupt and have partly been instrumen-
tai in bringing about the present
state of affairs in the South, cannot
be called in question. But the main
causes why the colored people are in
such "deplorable" condition, is that
their freedom has been accepted in
very bad faith by their former mas
tiers. The conditions on which they
have been hired have been very un-
satisfactory and detrimental to the
best interests of the colored people.
1t has checked rather than aided, the
progress of comparatively helpless
people.
Assassination by scores and hun
dreds have been quite frequent.
Massacre after massacre has been
the order of the day. Hatred of ne
gro suffrage and equal rights, hatred
of reconstruction and resistance to it
as well as to Republican principles
generally, coupled with that inherent
attribute of the Southerner to "rule
or ruin," has had somewhat to do
with the "deplorable" condition of
the colored man. That is the rea-
son why "negro suffrage has thus far
proved a failure" if at all. The
above are sufficient reasons why ne
gro suffrage has not satisfsd the
hopes of any one, more especially
justice-loving abiding people

A scrap from the Budget Box.

A scrap rom the budget BOX.
Excusing ourselves and blaming
others.
Adam and Eve begun the perni-
cious practice, and it has been kept
up ever since.
Let one commit an error, neglect
duty, or be overtaken in fault, and
ten to one, they will begin by excus-
ing themselves, and end, by throwing
the ''gist'' OF the blame upon some
thing, or somebody else.
An out and-out straightforward ac-
acknowledgement, is rare thing now
a-days, and when we do by some
lucky chance, happen to meet an in
dividual Conscientious enough to tell
the plain, 'unvarnished truth, in ref
ence to his or her own shortcomings,
we set them down at once as excep-
tions.
Bro. "a" sister 3D." or Mr.. SOME
BODY else, are dltCGys in the fault,
and zee, well, il we do happen to
|get out of our path Of dnty, and say,
and do things inconsistent THEY are
/ to blame for it.
We have heard excuses Of every
shade and shape, upon our right and
upon our left-heard people lay their
|own sins upon their neighbor's door
step until our little stock of patience
lis about exhausted, and we are
heartily sick of the whole thing.
Give us a hat yes, or nO-a de-
cided will, or I won't, / believe 1
am right, or l acknowledge myself
wrong, but spare rs your flimsy, un-
lawful, sinful excuses, and don't, we
beg of you, unless in case of sheer
necessity, refer rs to anybody else.
Hear the inspired pensman:
"He that covereth his sins shall not
prosper; but whose confesseth, and
forsaketh them, shall have mercy.

should this "nigger" hating rebel
element gain political control of thi:
nation, our rights would be in jeopar-
DIV. 1t is very unreasonable in the
Times to expect that the colored peo-
pie should be as intelligent as white
people, considering the fact that for
240 years the colOred race has been
in slavery, while the school houses
and colleges of the nation and civil
lied world have been open to
our more favored white fellowciti-
zens. The Times philosopher must
not expect too much of us in so short
a period. That ten years of free
dom should give to a race all the adj
vantages and attainments of race
claiming to be the superior race is
preposterous.
In short, the Times says further
that freedom and suffrage have not
been benefit to the celored race,
but in every particular a failure.
Judging from the assassinations and
massacres by the White Leagues,
now going on, if notehecked by the
strong arm of the Government, it
will continue to be failure.

The evidence of Mr.. Robert l..
Hunter, given before the louisiana
Investigating Committee, and report
ed by the Associated Press to the ex-
tent of a column or so, was impor-
tant and striking as any that has
been brought out by either commit
tee. Mr.. Hunter is the editor of 4
White League newspaper in Louisi-
ana, and native of the State. His
testimony on cross examination de-
veloped a very bad and shameful
condition of affairs. Murder, out
rage, and intimidation were proved in
the clearest way by this witness.
His own paper had indorsed, he said,
the Colfax massacre, and one of his
editors participated in the killing.
Had not the Colfax massacre ended
as it did," he said, mot less than a
thousand negroes would have been
killed"
The Cincinnati Enquirer deliber-
ately suppresses all this testimony.
Not word of it has appeared in that
paper. The Inquirer is one of the
indignant" papers of the North, and
denies the existence of a White
League. When the evidence comes
along to show what the White League
is, it omits it.-Gdzette.

White League Humanity.

New orleans hepuDllcan.
We commend to the public the
plain, simple, yet necessarily Sc
we're statement of Mrs. Judge
Myers, in reply to the Picayune's ILL
timed levity in its comments upon
her testimony. Whatever may have
been the motives of those who call
ed her to the stand, the lady herself
is not responsible for it. She told a
tale of brutality and inhumanity,
practiced upon her by the people of
Natchitoches, and this elicits a sneer
from the organ of the White League,
mocking laughter at the pangs of
the bereaved mother who was not per-
mitted, in her native town, to bury
her dead out of her sight. She is a
lady of education and refinement, and
has but one fault even in the eyes of
the White Leagues of Natchitoches
her husband is Republican and
an influential man. They drove him
from his home and left her to watch
their dying child for thirteen days,
during which not one of the women of
the place offered her assistance,
though many of them, her old school
mates, passed her door every day.
And when she asked the man to make
her little grave for her lost darling
whe makes it his business to do this
kind of work, she was rudely refused.
And yet the people of Natchitoches
claim to be humane, Christian
people. If this be the way Chris
tian Democrats behave, commend us
to the heather.

The First Wine

A Grecian legend is as follows
''When Bacchus was a boy he jour
neyed through Hellas to go to Naxia,
and, as the way was very long. he
grew tired, and sat down upon a stone
to rest. As he sat there with his
eyes upon the ground he saw little
plant spring up between his feet, and
was so much pleased with. it that he
determined to take it with him and
plant it in Naxia. He took it up and
carried it away with him; but as the
sun was hot, he feared it might with
er before he reached his destination.
He found a birds skeleton, into
which he thrust it and went on. But
in his hand the plant sprouted so fast
that it started out Of the bones above
and below. This gave him fresh fear
of its withering, and he cast about
for remedy. He found lions
bone, which was thicker than the
birds skeleton, and he stuck the skel-
eton, with the plant in it, into the
bone of the lion. Ere long. however,
the plant grew out Of the lions bone
likewise. Then he found the bone Of
an ass still larger than that Of the
lion. SO he put the lions, contain
ing the birds skeleton and the plant,
in the ass bone, and thus he made
his way to Naxia. When about ready
to set the plant, he found the roots
had entwined themselves around the
birds skeleton and the lions bone
and the ass bone; and as he could
not take it out without damaging the
roots he planted it rs it was, and it
came up speedily and bore, to his
great joy, the most delicious grapes,
from which he made the first wine
and gave it to men to drink. But
behold Il miraclel When men drank
of it they sang like birds; next, af
ter drinking n little more, they be-
came vigorous and gallant ms lions;
but when they drank more still, they
began to behave like asses"

AT the outbreak OF the civil war
Lieutenant Colonel I. j. jackson was
assigned by the Governor Of Virginia
to the command Of the Twelfth Vir-
ginia Infantry, stationed at Norfolk,
and composed of crack companies
from different parts Of the State.
The regimental officers had been told
that Jackson was Of "an eccentric
and asceltic disposition" and they
protested against him SO strongly
that the Governor assigned HIM to
another field of duty. He was soon
heard from as Stonewall jackson,
and the Twelfth Virginia kept very
quiet about a certain little matter.
