A SENSIBLE SPEECH The Manassas
Gazette gives the following account Of
the speech delivered at Brentsville, last
Monday, heretofore nouced in the
Gazette /:
"Wm. H. Pinn, Prince William
colored man, delivered speech to his
race at Brentsville, on Monday last, in
which he gave them some good and
wholesome advice in reference to their
political duties. Among other things,
he told them they should no longer be
led as sheep to the slaughter by the
Radical party that their best interests
were bound up with the people with
whom they had been raised. He read
from document giving history Of the
political and social status given the col~
orcd people in the New England States
when they were set free, which showed
that for many years they were deprived
not only of theright to vote, but were
restricted in their business ayocations.
He said there were two classes of COLI
ored people.
One class, during their ensfavement
used to, after their days work was done
make baskets and brooms to sell to get
little Injuries for their families, but
there was another class who used to
visit the hen roosts of their master and
his neighbors on Saturday night, for
which they were often tied to the
whipping post on MONDAY morning
There are two classes yett he said.-
Those who 1ised to make baskets now
| are industrious and make an honest
living, but those who used to be fond
OF the hen roosrs, are now in scores in
the penitentiary and station house and
chain gangs. He addressed himself on
this occasion to the former class, and
advised them to listen no longer to the
forty acre and mule story

hardly measures up to the standard OF
Reform so much demanded by the PEG

conclusively proven that he is briber

.HE gAYoNET AND The BALLOT.

The order which General Grant and
the corrupt leaders of the Republican
party have just issued in the name OF
| Judge Taft means revolution. 1t over
throws every principle Of the govern
ment our fathers founded hundred
years ago, blots out State lines; erects
a central despotism at Washington ;
subordinates the civil to the military
authority; closes the courts-for the
marshals of the United States and
every one of his hundred thousand
deputies, if he sees fit to appoint them,
can take the judge from his bench and
make him part of the posse conaitatats Z;
in a word, it suspends on the day OF
election constitutional government in
every state in the Union.
1t gives the marshal of the United
States and every reputable or diSrepu'
table deputy he may appoint absolute
power. On the seventh day Of next
November, every officer of this State and
of every State in the Union, from Gov
ernor down to constable, will be the
subordinate of any man the United
States marshal may choose to appoint
as his representative.
He will have command of the army,
navy and marine corps. He will be the
commander of the militia Of the State.
of the police force Of every city in the
State, and in addition to all, he can call
out the whole population to enforce his
authority.
This infamous legislation is now upon
the Statute books and it must be obey
ed. There is no way to evade it
Virginia and every state in the Union
must submit that day, but we ask them
if they mean to submit to it in, the
future They will make the answer at
the ballot box. If the citizens of this
and other states continue the present
party in power, they will have willingly
submitted, consented to the revolution
which has taken place in our govern
ment, to the overthrow of the govern
ment founded in '76.
We contend that it is the duty,
solemn, serious duty of the Governors
of the States 10 meet and determine
that this Capitalization Of power in the
Federal Government at Washington
shall be checked. The order Of Judge
Taft is the browning infamy Of the
Republican party. Framed ostensbly
to protect the purity Of elections, it
practically destroys the ballot, 1t is a
fitting supplement- to the pages of
reconstruction to the Yobberies Of the
public treasury to the prostitution of
official trusts.
If the country at the polls next
November, by voting for the candidates
of the party that has enacted these
laws, shall endorse and sanction them,
republican government in the United
States is dead and the Empire is estab.
lished
Let every Virginian, white and black
give his earnest, hearty support for the
embodiment of reform, honesty and
republican government "Iilden and

Take a common sense view Of this
subject. Swearing is not only I'M
doubtedly wrong, but il is obviously
foolish; every oath you utter. every
vulgar word that passes your lips, de-
grades you, and accomplishes no good
whatever. Why not quit the vile
habit at once? Do you say that you
cannot OUTLET your own conduct
prove the falsity of your reasoning.
You do not sw ear before your wife or
your parents, or your sister or your
sweetheart, no matter how great the
provocation. Why? Because you
would be ashamed of such vulgarity.
But you are always in the company Of
your God. When next you are temp
ted to swear, remember whose ears
will catch the words. and desist, or If
the oath comes before you remember,
ask his pardon whose laws you have
transgressed, and you will soon find
that it is possible for you to live with
out swearing.

The Hot springs or TeSas.

In Preside county, Texas, a quar-
ter of a mile from the Rio Grande,
and about 80 miles below Fort Quit
man, amid rugged mountains, are sit
uated the Hot Springs of Arkansas.
There are two springs about 1870 feet
apart, each about ten feet in diameter,
inclosed in n natural circular rim
about three feet high. The water is
clear, and of an unknown depth, since
attempts to sound them with 100 feet
of line have failed to reach bottom.
Gases are continually ascending to the
surface, keeping the water in coniinu-
al agitation. These waters are strong
ly impresnated with minerals, and
have a temperature, one Of ITO de-
grees, and the other of "a. They are
8, 260 feet above the sea.
