From tho New York World,
GRANT AND ARKANSAH.

The message of Mr.. Grant about Ar
kansas is one of the most amazing and
ridiculous things he has done yet. In
the case of Louisiana, he had pretext,
himsy pretext, to be sure, in the mac
tion of Congress. In the case OF Arkan-
sas he had no pretext at all. Arkansas,
no thanks to him, is in state of peace.
Since the difficulties between Brooks
and Baxter were composed, we have
heard no bad news from there. Mr.
Morton's friends in the press have not
even thought it worth their while to
invent any. The only opposition to the
present State Government appears to
proceed from particularly small and
pestilent faction, which lives and ope-
rates in Washington, and not in Arkan-
sas ut all. This faction has captured
Mr.. Grant. We really do not wish to be
more disrespectful to him than his be-
havior compels. but the natural conclu-
sion from his message is that they have
made the acquaintance of Mr.. Grant in
the capacity rather of boon companions
than OF remonstrants. Let anybody read
the message itself and our correspond
ent' 8 carefHl and temperate statement
OF the circumstances under which it was
written, and his natural conclusion must
be that the man who wrote it was drunk
or the man was crazy. The immediate
effect of it will be, if the discussion in
Congress allows it to have any effect at
all, to renew the turmoil in Arkansas,
which has once been thoroughly and we
all hoped finally allayed The final eff
feet OF it, SO far as its author is concern
ed, must be to drive another nail into
his coffin. Everything the President
does makes palmer the judicial blind
ness with which he has baen curSad IN
ALLEVIATE all tho supporters who are left
to him, except his mercenaries, and to
disgust more deeply all his enemies. AS
party men, Democrats may rejoice in
this, and indeed they are entitled to
but as patriots they must be ashamed OF
their country, over the government OF
which a man who seems to take per.
verse delight in showing how unfit he is
by nature, education and habit, for any
public post at all in free country. is set
to preside.

4 Good Sign.

The people of Wilmington ought to
congratulate the members of the Board
of Public Education for the evidence of
returning reason exhibited at the last
meeting. We are glad to see so strong
an indication manifested that the preju-
dice against the white people and their
children is on the wane. And it af-
fords US hope that ere long white man
and his offspring will be able to get on
platform of equality and will not be put
aside in all the political organizations of
our Republican friends, or whenever a
discussion arises where they have the
majority. In fact the time appears to
be coming when white Republicans and
white Democrats will be permitted to
claim some rights that the negroes and
their allies will be "bound to respect"
For the last ten years the would-be
leading Radicals in the Board of Educa-
tion have been pushing the young ne
groes forward at every opportunity. The
last effort was the opening of negro
school on the South-side, near Third
street bridge. This was done on the
petition of several negroes, who asserted
that there were about seventy children
there without school. Last Monday
night, at the meeting of the Board, it
appeared that this school had run down
to five or six in daily attendance, and
the school was very properly ordered to
be closed. At the same time PROPOSE
tion was made to open a negro school
near Second and Washington streets,
which was also properly rejected. It
appears that there is room for nearly
one hundred additional scholars in the
Howard School, which is among the best
school buildings in the city. Mr.. George
Roberts objected to the negro children
being required to walk SO far to school ;
whereupon s. Macallister, Esq, stated
that when he was boy he had to walk
from two to three miles to school. The
Howard School is about half-mile from
Second and Washington streets This
brought out DR.. Grimshaw, who remind
ed the Board that the last speaker
"aoas nhite." The Doctor is some
what of wag. But really there is no
Joke in the matter. The Board has dis
covered that it has been expending much
OF the hard-earned money of the white
taxables very foolishly in sustaining ne.
gro schools that were unnecessary. Both
Mr.. Fraim and Mr.. Macallister said there
was room in the Howard School for all
the negro children.

The events OF the past year, par
ticularly the Administration manage
ment Of the Congressional campaign
of 1874, in which the staple of discus
xion was the oppressed condition of the
negro and the outrages and intimida.
tions practiced at the South, are full Of
Significance for the political future.
The Presidential campaign Of 1876 has
been opened already, Mr.. Conkling
says, and we do not doubt it. II is the
deliberate intention of the Admins
tration managers to make it campa-
ign of sectional and race hate. In the
campaign preceding the Fall elections,
men who ought not to lend themselves
to so unpatriotic, so devilish pro-
gramme filed their speeches with moth
ing but bogus outrages and assassina-
tions, the inventions of Charles Hays
and others, in which there was no truth
decency, or humanity. 1t was upon
the strength of these brutal slanders
and contemplate fictions that gentle
men who call themselves respectable
and honorable went upon the stump
and appealed to the worst passions in
the minds of men in order to intlame
The smoldering animosities of the war
and save their party from defeat. The
whole action of the Administration
party through the session has been on
the same line and in the same direc-
ton. The effort to pass the Civil Rights
bill is part of the same programme. 1t
puts the whites and blacks at variance
in the South; it promotes i'll feeling in
stead of harmony and kindness; 1t gives
the Administration party new hold
upon the negro as his peculiar friend,
and it goes far to renew the bitterness
and hatred of the war.
The whole line of the debates in the
House, the temper of Republican
leaders, the speeches in the Senate and
House on the Louisiana question and
the Civil Rights bill, indicate this as
the policy of the Republican managers
to prop their failing party fortunes in
1876. The war spirit is to be again ap-
pealed to, the old jealousies renewed,
and old passions rekindled. A more
mischievous and wicked plot against
the public peace could hardly be devils
ed Leading Republicans are working
themselves up by violent language to
a proper pitch; the army in Louisiana,
used to sustain the Kellogg usurpation,
contributes somewhat by exasperating
the white citizens of the South; and
from this time forward no means will
be left untried to incite the old section
al hostility, and with it war of races.
What for? Not to give the negro his
rights; he has them now. Not to pre-
vent intimidation, or any such nom
sense as that; it is not i'll reason that
any thinking man should want tho
United States Government to interfere
with all its power to protect from be-
ing bribed or bullied, a voter to whose
ignorant mind the ballot has no mean
ing, nor party names any real signiti-
canoe. No, all this narrowing up of
the public mind with fictitious outrages
this setting the whole country by the
ears, has but one object, and that is to
keep the Administration party in
power. And perhaps little later, when
it shall have more fully developed, we
shall see it is to keep the Administra-
tion itself in power Upon the whole
/ is il worth il !?

The Little Tariff Bill" contains a
provision, introduced by Representa-
tive Myers, repeating the stamp tax on
medicinal preparations. The tax on
proprietaryorpatent medicinesremains
in force.
General Sheridan has sent note to
Hon. George F. Hoar, chairman of the
Congressional Investigating commit
tee, which has just closed its labors at
New Orleans, stating that the number
OF persons killed in Louisiana from
1855 to date, on account of their po-
ntical opinion, is reported 2141, and
the number wounded 2115. Total,
4246.
A compromise resolution was adop-
ted by the Conservative caucus of the
Louisiana Legislature, Monday night,
and presented yesterday morning toMr

mlttee deem proper, they can consider
the matter in Washington, and reply by

The National Grange.

In the National Grange, in session at
Charleston, 8. c., resolutions were
adopted on Monday night, declaring
the existing patent laws oppressive,
and requesting Congress to grant no
further extensions, and to SO amend
the patent laws as to allow any person
to use or manufacture any patented
article on payment of reasonable
royalty. 1t was agreed to lend to each
State Grange u sum equal to two dol
lars and half for each subordinate
grange in such State, the loan not to
be distributed among the subordinate
oranges. The members of the Nation
al Grange spent yesterday in an eeur-
sion around Charleston harbor.

The division of the county as pro-
posed would make the Levy Court Of
the new county a very small body. If
Mill Creek Hundred should be included
with the lower Hundreds they would
then have voting population of 4, ,4Se,
of which near 1000 would be negroes; +;
leaving Wilmington county with 6,89l,
of whom about 800 would be negroes.
Now it seems to us that it would be bet
ter to add Chlistiana to the lower Hun
dreds. Newport is in Christiana Hun.
dred, and it is quite as near New Castle
as Wilmington. This would tend to
equallze the population of the counties,
and perhaps it might save Wilmington
Hundred the entire expense of Levy
Court. The Legislature being liberal.
would doubtless, at our request, extend
the limits of the city over Brandywine
Hundred, which might be termed the
Eleventh Ward, and two members being
elected therefrom to the City Council,
that body would be able to attend to all
the business, with the assistance of the
Road Commissioners. This would ena-
bic Wilmington to grow into d city of
considerable dimensions, and perhaps
command moro respect from her outside
neighbors.
OF course the line Of New Castle coun-
ty would come up to the present city
line and require us to build and keep up
all the bridges over the Christiana.
