Another step in Oesarism.

Another step has been taken BY

Of the United States. The frs,

in business experience, perhaps on ac-
count Of his long connection with the

The Atlanta Herald, in a careful re-
view Of politics in Georgia, admits that
sit is quite within the realm Of possibil.
ity, that by liberaliziDg their platform
and making plausible nominations, the
Republican party, drawing around it all
the elements OF dissatisfaction that have
bolted the straight Democracy, may be-
come very much OF & worry" And
again:
The race issue has died out of Geor-
gis politics. The 'nigger' will hardly be
any longer a question Of sufficient pun
gency to unite the white people in one
solid and impenetrsble mass. They will
divide on questions Of public pOlity and
policy, and We shall see the parties much
more evenly balanced than they are
now. Drop the negro out Of politics and
We shall have much less of bitterness
and prejudice in our conflicts. Party
lines would become more flexible; parti-
sans will become more tolerant OF each
other; party platforms will be built
more carefully and scrutiniZed more
closely; party records and party
mage will be more particularly al
iuded to, and We shall see the parties
more evenly divided.
The Herald may speak truly in this as
TO Georgia, but not rs to the south, GER
tainly lot SIS TO Tennessee. Our expe-
rience here is, after four years Of trial
snd test, that the negro is "joined to his
idols" and cannot be induced by force
Of circumstance or logic to vote with
any other party than the Republican;
aud We do not believe that the break in |
the black ranks predicted by our CO.
temporary il possible so long as the two
great parties confront each other.

Yesterday a destitute young man,
giving his name as Frederick Salare,
arrived here from Hales Point, and ap-
piled to Chief Athy for assistance. The
young man hSd two wounds in the head

been roughly handled. Chief Athy,
with his characteristic kindness, had
the young man cared for at boarding
house on Poplar street, aud has made
arrangements TO let him remain there
for week. According toSalaTe's story,
he is the son OF wealthy father who
resides at New ARK, New jersey, and
has a large vegetable garden near that
city. Being aggrieved because Of what
he deemed sn unequal distribution OF
money TO one Of his sisters, who married,
be complained TO his father and was re-
buked by him. He resolved to leave
home, and being furnished money by
his brother-in-law, left New Ark and
came west, where he has been selling
tobacco and cigars for a living. About
two weeks ago he landed at Hales Point,
and having remained there a day or two
resolved to go across the country to Dy-
ersburg, Dyer county, Tennessee. Just
before leaving, late in the afternoon, he
gave 8 negro man Fifty cents to get him
supper. The trescherOus Negro think |

ring from his finger, and even stripped
him OF his clothing. Owing to the
darkness of the night and the unfre-
quented spot, the negro escaped with
his plundeT, and has not since been
seen. After remaining unconscious for
several hours Sslare revived and found
bis way back to the river. The fact of
his robbery being made known

ST. LOUIS, April 16.-Captain James
B. Esds close | the contract to-day with
Colonel James Andrews, of Allegheny
City, Pennsylvania, for the construction
Of three hendred and fifty thousand
cubic yards of fsscine work and one
hundred thousand yards of stone work
at South Pass, together with large
amount of lumber wo;k, piles, etc., con-
stitu:ing the necessary jetties and dikes
for improving the mouth of the Missis-
sippi river. Colonel Andrews is to fur
nish his own outfit for this work, and
put in place sixty thousand yards of
fascines, pales, etc., before requiring any
pay. His contract will embsace the
construction of work sufficient to insure
twenty-six feet depth of water, and will
amount to two million and a half OF
dollars. When this is COM
pleted other provisions will be
made to secure the thirty feet of
water required by Captain Eads's con-
tract with the government. Colonel
Andrews built the masonry work of the
bridge at this city, and constructed the
tunnel extending therefrom to the
Union depot grounds. He also visited
Europe last summer with Captain Eads,
and carefully studied the jetty works
there, and is in every sense qualified to
successfully carry out the enterprise he
has entered into. He will commence
providing his equipment as soon as
three hundred thousand dollars is SUBJ
scribed by the South Pass jetty company
which has been organized here and a
large portion of the stock subscribed by
citizens of st. Louis.

the gress declaration in Philadelphia on
the fourth Of July, 1776; and that all at

declaration have failed. The record is
too plain, We think, all historians now

oeuOence by the colonies Of America.
The NecklenbergeTs can therefore

that TIE time has come for the President
to announce his intention to retire from
Office at the close Of his present term,
and adds that "bold and manly enun.

Of the party. This same feeling, it says,
is entertained by the best Republicans
OF Massachusetts. 1t also thinks he
will have a fine opportunity to define
his position when he is present in the
State at the Concord centennial exer-
cises, for whether it be his intention TO
remain a candidate or to retire, it is due
from him to the Republican party that
he should frankly state his position. But
he wont do it. Grant lis a sealed lock
