SATURDAY. February 8. 1877.

1t is matter for public congratulation
that the house of representatives has at
length ordered an investigation into the
use of troops by the government during
the last campaign. Their use to further
the interests of the Republican party was
a national scandal, and it is time it received
a national rebuke. There will be no one
10 object to the use of troops for legitimate
purposes, to keep the peace and protect
the rights of citizens. 1t is when the
troops become the auxiliaries of the ma
tional Republican committee. acting virtu-
ally under the orders of its chairman, that
their use becomes disgraceful and danger
ous The root of the evil is found not so
much in the open participation of the
president and members of his cabinet in
party councils, which is bad enough, but
in their unconcealed administration of the
government in the interest Of that party,
which is worse. During the campaign,
when troops were needed or any demon
stration by the national government was
found necessary, there was probably 6
cabinet conference. In that conference
there were Mr. Chandler, present not u,
secretary Of the interior but as chairman
of the national Republican committee
Mr.. Morrill,, present not as secretary o.
the treasury but as Republican STUMP
speaker; Mr.. Taft, present not as attorney
general but as a Trainer Of Republican
opinions whenever they were found neces
sary, and also Republican stumper; Mr.
Cameron, not as secretary of war but a.
son of the chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, and himself q
notorious partisan; Mr.. Robson, not az
secretary Of the navy but as candidate
for tho United States senate, and posi-
bic subject Of impeachment by the Demo
cratic house. These non-partisan gentle
men formed the cabinet to which Mr.
Chandler, as chairman Of the Republican
committee, made his application for troops

tendency of parties toward thorough
and complete rehabilitation. He said that
he had observed movement in this dir
ection for several years, and that the
political reaction of 1874, popularity known
as ''the tidal wave" was accepted by him
as an indisputable evidence of this pros
pective change. He then thought that
the party which had been in power would
be able in a great measure to re-establish
its lost advantages, which it would pos
sibly maintain through another presideu
tial term, but the experience of the con-
test OF 1876, though favorable in the local
elections of representatives in congress,
showed that on national questions the time
for readjustment of the political status
of parties had come, He did not
mean that the Democratic party would
secure permanent ascendancy, but that
the Republican party, much shattered by
internal dissension. would be compelled to
rally its forces and to harmonic its d.
verse elements upon some general line Of
policy. He said that it could not be
known, until the result was declared, lwhat
party would secure control of the govern
ment with its extensive patronage, but
whatever that declaration might be it
would not stay the inevitable tendency of
things.
1t was shown that the south presented
united front when permitted to act un-
restrained by the interposition of legally
constituted authority to prevent the use
OF the means resorted to in carrying the
elections in those states. In the north,
where the Democratic victories were gain
ed contrary to former results, the means
by which these were attained might be
considered exceptional. He thought thai
before the end Of the next presidential
term there would be an entire reorgauiza'
ton of parties in the south, so that in the
contest of 1880 it would be no more a
solid Democratic south than a solid Re-
publican north. He said that in the south
as political contests we're now carried on
there was no Republican party basis rpor
which the struggle for political power i:
made; that in that part of the country ar
election is nothing more than an effort OF
the part of the whites to control and t
completely ignore the blacks; that there
was no harmony nor policy in the prem
Uses; that the white voters were
simply united in opposition to wha
are designated there as car
pet-baggers, and also against tn,
blacks; that now all but two o
the southern states have gone to tn,
Democrats; he will not say by what mean
this result was accomplished, except tina
it was the natural outgrowth of the oppo
sitian of the ante bellum party against tina
which grew out Of the exceptional stat
of things which followed the war; in tn
event of the declaration of Mr.. Tilden a
Ijustly entitled to the executive office, tn
authorities in the two states yet Republi

the sons and daughters of Africa will betrsy
themselves Can 1t be that with both, the moral
and Divine aid, which Is now extended to then,
they will fail to rise from that state into which
they have been led by their fellowmeni
Ifthe voice of God shall fail to awaken them ;
If with the hand of brotherly love extended to
them they do not improve the opportunity, and
again take their stand in that place which they
were created to FILL then they are in truth an ex-
cepton to the rest Of humanity. Bat they will
rise. The word of the Lord hath spoken IT, Their
own acts confirm it. Wherever they have chance
they are improving, both in education and moral
ity. Here let me give a short account OF the life
Of one.
At the close OF the war one of the sons Of this
oppressed race, that had been born at the South,
and there held in slavery, endured all the hard
ships and misery Of that abominable system, until
he was liberated by "our boys in blue He then
became acquainted with some of them and came
North. He was taken into the family of one of
them, and remained there q number of years
The extent of his education at the time consisted
of knowledge of his own name, and q well writ
ten page of the outrages which had been inflicted
upon him and his race, at the hands of the whites.
He was taught his letters by q little daughter of
since gone to receive her reward in that land,
where there is no privileged cass.) From that
time he has been q diligent student, attending
school where he could, and at other times receiv-
ing aid and instruction from the folks with whom
he has lived for number Of years past and who
believe in The equality of all men before God 1t
is needless to say that in that time be has made
good advancement. He now reads bis own pa
pers and books; writes his own letters to his 9th
err, who is still living at the South. He has a
number Of hundred dollars IN the bank, the pro-
duct of his own lab rs. He is regarded by all as
honest upright citizen strictly temperate in all
things. Some years ago he made profession of
religion, was baptized and is a member of
the Baptist church. And this is only fair exam
pie of what they will do if they have a chance.
Shall they have that chance Yes, is the an
swer that comes from every honest heart, and so
it shall be. The day star of their hope is already
appearing in the east. The sun of their ancient
civilization is destined to return and shine upon
them once more in all its former splendor. May
the Lord hasten the day. L.

of all the articles from the first number in 1857

American literature will remember the slight veil
of mystery which hung before the magazine in
its early days. People readily guessed which
were Emersons poems and articles, even if they
could not always guess the meaning; Longfellow's

papers speculaed about the articles by other
writers. This Index clears good many of the

succeeded in ascertaining the authorship of all

or five thousand titles. There is an article bv

Hampton is bombastic pretender, an un.
mitigated sham, says this search only con.
firms the opinion that paper has held.
Hampton made an effort TO retrieve his
fortune some years ago by moving to Mis-.
sissippi and branching out as a large
planter. He raised money partly on the
reputation Of his boosted ancestry, partl,
by representing himself as possessed o.
large property in South Carolina, wher,
his credit was all gone, but more largely
by mortgaging, as unincumbered, prop
