pie. aud mainly ior tie feason d the
debate proved, that negroes constitute
So large & proportion OF the voters of
the Distfict
The sixteen Democrats who voted
against this amendment acted consist
emily perhaps So f,Ar as negro sufrage
was involved But the ten Grant Re-
publicans who voted with them proved
themselves thereby To be aTrant hypo-
critics. They not only favor negro suf-
frage ID the old slave holding States,
where the colored population is q large
element, and in some cases a dominat-
ing power, but they help to enact the
most arbitrary and infamous laws to
enforce it by methods which insult the
whites and endanger the liberties Of the
people.
Why are these ten Republican Sena-
tors guilty Of this glaring Inconsistency?
The answer is obvious. In the States
the negroes can help to elect q Presi-
dent aud Senators and Representatives
il Congress- In the District their
votes can not count in that direction.
The upshot of the matter IS, that the
class of Republicans TO which these
ten Senators belong and it is very
large class, aud includes Grant him
elf-uphold negro suffrage where they
can gain a party or personal advantage
by It, but care nothing for it or are
even hostile to it as a question of prin-
ciple.
The names Of these Senatorial trim-
mers are worthy OF special notice. In
New England there were both the Nor
rills aui Wadleigh. BY the last census
it appears that the negro vote Of their
three States is less than five hundred
OF course they can set at defiance their
handful of home negroes while heaping
honoFs upon negroes IN remote States
where they gre powerful Allison, In-
gals and Sargent remain ia the Senate
till March, 1879; SO on this question
they were not disturbed about the pre-
sent. The terms Of Scott, Pratt, Stewart
and Gilbert expire with this Congress.
when three Democrats and one moaer-
ate Republican viii take their chairs;
and they do not care much negroes just
now.
These ten Senators are fair samples
Of q large mass Of Republicans. They
are willing TO use negro voters whore
they can make anything out Of them,
but viii deprive them Of suffrage when
they cease to be profitable.

a nation can be patriotic, just,
courageous, prudent. 81 can be
yenal, unjust, cowardly, reckless.
So can an individual. When q
nation. by q long course Of patgi-
olie and virtnoua conduct, has SCI
cured national repown and domes-
4 he confidence, its continued enjoy
ment d public and private respect
depends wholly on its continuance
in the path 81 that conduct. Let
it once step aside into The devious
ways OF vice and dfshonor, and its
downfall is ordinarily swift and
fearful.
For about three-quarters Of a
century the United States Of
America enjoyed the respect Of
nations, and the love and conf
dence Of it's own citizens. Graded
ia the lap Of patriotism, and
tutoTed in the wise and benefcent
lessons of constitutional liberty,
our county marched with q steady
step in the path Of public virtue,
honor and prosperity, and was a
burning and shining light in Che
constellation Of the nations.
The hour Of temptation came.
/ The accursad lust Of official power
and greed overcame the national
virtue. Corruption sat in the seats
Of the Federal councils, and thrust
| its brazen face into the parlors of
the Executive mansion. The result
is no less natural than fearful. To-
day the representatives Of the
people are openly plotting against
the life Of the nation, and the chief
conspirator is the chief magistrate
OF the republic. The country has
been reused from its pleasant
dream of peace and prosperity, to
find itself on the very brink Of
anarchy and utter ruin. Appalled,
at the horrible sight, the people
last fall hurled a large majority
Of their faithless representatives
from power, and sought to fll
their places with good men and
true. The country breathed freer
at the sight, and fear gave momen-
tary place to hope and exultation.

THE COST AND PERIL OF PRE-
ACTION

The New York World of the 9TH
contains sn able article from the pen
of Elihu Burritt, the Learned Black
smith, in which he shows the sad re-
suits upon nations and individuals of
the insane policy of precaution, which
prompts such lavish expenditures in
preparations for war in times of peace.
Mr.. Burritt claims, and we think the
facts justify his statement, that the
policy of precaution is the very in
centive to international disputes, and
he cite, a recent historic fact in sup
port of his position: "Look at the ex-
p%erience which the policy OF precau-
ton brought Upon France through
only six months trial Of the regime of
suspicion. She rushed into the war as
"a precautionary MEASURE against the
new and increasing strength that
Prussia was acquiring from her union
with the other German States-a union
which her precautionary war consol-
iuhteu anu StIoiktueNcu W pcNcf
which prostrates her in the dust" Re-
ferring to the enormous increase of our
own appropriations for the army and
navy in recent years, Mr.. Burritt says:
''If the Democratic party come into
power, will they, too, g We the bluest
veins of this nation to the Unsuitable
horse-leach of the armed-peace sys
rem, and let it suck the blood of our
industries with its present appetite?
Will they, too, let it grow by what it
feeds upon? Where else in the wide
world did it ever grow at such a ratio
of rapidity? Can any other nation
show anything like this-in round
numbers, $50, 00O, 900 for army and
navy in the two years 1850 and 1851,
and sl4j,0O 900 for both in 1873 and
ls74?"
