suppresstng o rebellion that tended TO disln-
teErate this Republic, to which Republican
France always turns for example, suocor and
sympathy. They know that the arrogant
NAPOLEON was against that side Of the
question upon which Gen. GRANT fought,
and that In itself Is enough for them
to do him everlasting homage. Whatever
President MAoMAHos may feel or think, 1t
can be safely believed that the recent cI-
preston of the will of France through tho
ballot-box has determined him TO take .
course towards Americas hero that will
surely find response in the heart of nearly
every Frenchman. Gen. GRANT Is gallant
and successful soldier. lie served his country
as Its Chief Civil Magistrate the full cxtent OF
time that precedent had adopted. And now,
being citizen Of the United States, he goes
forth upon a private tour. If the French
government did not receive him Mt all, we
could not complain of any international dis
courtesy. But the mention of his name
carries with 1t thrill OF joy in the hearts Of
Republican France. and they will shower
honors upon Gen. GRANT as the ft and proper
representative of Republican America.

bound to respect
Under the pacifcation regime of the day
reign of terror has been inaugurated in
Pike, Jefferson and other counties in Mis-
sissippi, wherever the Independent move
mont has developed and where a
strong colored vote gives 1t promise of sue
cess. W. c. HAgRELL, the mayor OF
Osyka, Democrat, says that the life and
property of every man who has connected
himself with the Independent movement
are in great peril. Two men have already
been murdered by being taken from their
beds and shot after the custom of the White
Lcaguers, Negroes in large numbers have
been whipped and terrorism has been pushed
to such an extreme that Capt. WILLIAM
THOMPSON, q highly respected Democrat
who was running for sheriff on the indie
pendent ticket in jefferson county, has been
forced to abandon the canvass
Judge STONE, the Governor of Mississippi,
has been appealed to for authority to organ
ize military companies for protection, but
he positively declines to interfere. This
leaves the shotgun policy in force and as
sures White League success. This is
modern reconciliation and pacifcation.

A CoIored State Convention.

The c0l0rcd citizens OF North Carolina
lavs recently held their first State conven-
tion. The body was composed of intelligent,
active and earnest representatives Of the
black race; but its proceedings are met
with wet blanket from the press of that
State for the reason that it ventured upon
political subjects. The Newbern Times
denounces the convention rs failure
for the reason, as il insists, that "the
one thing needfl for the elevation
and improvement Of the negro, NOR
ally and materially, is education. The
spelling-b X, the arithmetic the pen and
the Bible are the four corner-stones on which
must rest the enlightenment and progress OF
the descendants Of Ham now dwelling in
our midst The supreme object, then, Of the
race should be to grasp and make use OF
these grand and essential motive powers Of
mental, moral and material advancement.
Every step taken in this direction comes OF
wisdom; those leading contrary way are
born of folly"
"A contrary way" referred to is the exer-
else of the rights of citizenship So long as
the colored citizen will foreGo his political
rights and remain M passive as when
thralled in slavery, then us the Times says
"we wish to see the colored race prosper
every good citizen must entertain the same
wish. But prosperity cannot be looked for
by them 40 long as they blindly follow the
lead of oflice-seekers who must depend solely
on the black vote for promotion. Whatever
tends to antagonize the two races is neces.
sarily hurtful. Peace and harmony must
prevail between them. The maSsing of the
blacks against the whites will not impcril
in the least the supremacy of the party now
in power; but it will inevitably recoil with
disastrous effect upon the black race"
To this is added the solemn admonitiOr
that the colored race "can never regain con
troll in North Carolina. 1t is madness
therefore, for men to pursue any line o
policy which 'squints in that direction"
1t is not difficult to understand the full
import of this admonition to the colore,
citizens Of North Carolina. 1t is simply I
advise them that an attempt to exercis
their full rights as citizens in any other d
rcction than in concerted action with tn
Democratic party will recoil upon them
selves. This is bold ground an
smells Of bitter prescription for opinio
sake. If the black race are in a minorit
in North Carolina then it is but right tina
they shall submit to the will of the majorit
properly expressed in the ballot-box. Bu
if in majority, they should assert the
right of opinion and suffrage at all hazard
even in the face Of menace of danger
the black man is justified ever in resistin
encroachment it is when II is aimed at h
citizenship. This bull-dozing and GOWN
OF citizens on account of color to prevent
free and honest exercise. of their deare'
rights has gone far enough, and il is II
duty of the President. to protect and deien
their rights as much in North Carolina as
they were under abridgment by foreig
power.

THE war does not seem TO afe,t society in
Constantinoplc, nor does II prevent the usual

band Is tho German ambassador, has been es-

THERE is new plan proposed to pay Louis

very feasible. A syndicate Of eminent
Rnanciers in London Offer to loan III, state OF
Louisiana 900, with which the state
must call in and pay od her present debt at
par, with interest to the date of retirement,
and then the state must issue the same

per cent. interest, principal and interest made

IT Is with pleasure that we announce the
fact that the clerks in the Departments who
vote in Pennsylvania and New York are to be
allowed ten days leave of absence to go home
and vote at the November elections. This Is as
il should be. No excuse can stand that looks
to the prevention or obstruction of an Amcri-
can citizen in his right of franchise, and it is
dcpriving him of that right if his superior
officer deprives him, directly or indirectly of
having a chance to use the highest privilege.
