THE BATTALION,

thousand strong we marched to battle;
The city roared around the host;
The tambours crashed their vauntiDg rattle;
The bugles screamed their joyous boast.
No thought had we to die asunder,
Companions sworn, a brother throng;
We looked to sweep through battles thunder
In noble lines, a thousand strong.
But ah, the fever's poisoned arrow!
The jungle's breath, the Summers glow
Our broad array grew swiftly narrow,
And scanty hundreds met the foe.
Oh splendid longings, thoughts and fancies
Which tread the city of the soul,
How few Of all your spritlances
Arrive where duty's trumpets roll

FRENCH MARRIAGEs.-A vast majority
of marriages in France are marriages of
interest-that is to say, commercial bar
gains. This is true, not only of the idle
class, but of the working classes; it is
true throughout. Does good salesman
which to set up in business on bis own
account he looks for II wife whose dowry
will be his working capital. Does II land
owner think of improving his estate he
takes 4 wife who will enable him to drain,
or whose acres will dovetail into his own.
A lawyer marries in order that his father
in-law may push him in politics or help
him on the bench. An architect marries
because his wile's first cousin will get him
employment in the city works. A man of
fashion marries because his recent losses
on the turf would otherwise oblige him TO
retrench his little comforts. 1t is II barter,
nothing else; so much professional pros
poets against so much ready cash; rich
old maiden aunt against Il seat in council
n coat of arms against three men servants
in livery. The mutual claims are weighed,
compared, discussed by the two notares
in his dress coat and cream-colored gloves
he is paying respectful attention to the
young lady in the parlor. Neither party
is the others dupe; the gentleman, when
talking TO his friends about his matrimoni-
al prospects, will always mention the
solid" advantages first; and the lady, on
the other hand, can tell to centum what
her dowry will be, and has often discussed
with her friends in the convent what
equivalent may be looked for on the other
side. Last Thursday, at the club" says
Taine, Ill was telling three or four
of us of his approaching marriage. :" A

FRED DOUGLASS TO THE FREEDMEN
A dispatch from St. Michaels, Talbot
county, Maryland, says that Fred Doug
lass had just paid visit, for the first time
since he left there, forty-one years ago, to
his former master. Capt. Thomas Aud.
Douglass learned his age from Captain
Auld who has the record of his BIRTH
showing that Fred Bailey was born in
February 1878. While there, Mr.. Doug
lass addressed a large audience of white
and colored people He said to the color
ed people that they were in contact with
the most indomitable, and the most en-
lightened race in the world. and he would
be false to his own race if he did not tell
them what an immense distance they were
behind the white people. He did hot be-
lieve the colored people were fundamen-
tally inferior to the whites, but they are
nevertheless practically inferior. We
must not talk about equality until we can
do what white people Can do. So long,
said he, as they can build vessels and we
cannot, we are their interiors; so long us
they can build railroads and we cannot we
are their interiors; so long as they can
found governments and we cannot we are
their interiors. If in twenty years from
now the colorcd race rs u race has not adj
vanced beyond point where it was when
emancipated, it is doomed. The question
is, will the black men do us much now for
his master (himself) as he used to do for
his old master.
Mr.. Douglass was quite severe upon
Prof. Langston for maintaining that the
mulatto is the superior of the black man,
intellectually. Poor people, he said, are
always despiseG people To be respect
ed they must get money and property,
Without money there is no leisure. With
out leisure no thought. Without thought
no progress. The preachers should tell
them more what to do and less what TO
feel. The should cultivate their brains
more, their lungs less. They should not
depend upon being helped, but should do
for themselves. The Lord is good and
kind, but is of the most use to those who
do for themselves. No man has right to
live unless he lives honestly, and no man
lives honestly who lives upon another.
He added that the Southerners could
control the vote of the negroes in the
Southern States far more completely than
the Northerners. The colored men turned
instinctively for advice and assistance to
those who have been raised with him.

"VIcE PRESIDENT" so-Called, Wheeler
has written up the Louisiana case in
lucid and literary style. The following,
from his instructive work is clear and to
the point:
"The Returning Board has no right to
do anything except to canvass and COM
pile the returns which were lawfully
made to them by local officers, except in
cases where they were accompanied by
the certificates of the Supervisor or Com
missioner, as provided in the third sec
ton. In such cases the last sentence Of
that section shows that it was expected
that they would ordinarily exercise the
grave and delicate duty of investigating
charges of riot, tumult, bribery, or cor
ruption on hearing of the parties inter-
ested in the Office. II could never haze
been meant that this board, of It's motion, SIT
ting in NetD Orleans at distance from the
place of voting, and without notice, could de-
eide the right Of persons claiming to be elect
ed."
Here is another extract from Mr..
Wheeler's valuable work:
"Upon the election in Louisiana, as in
other States, depends the right to their
seats of Senators and Representatives
who are to aid in making laws for the
whole country, and the choice of Presi-
dental electors, upon whose votes may
depend the title of the Office of the Pres
dent of the United States himself. No
s1nr,J IN the Tinted SInte9 fNOuld like 10 Stlb-
NIT to the result decided By the votes Of electors
chosen By such means"
IfMessrs. HayesIand Evarts had fur
nished the work of Mr.. Wheeler to the
Commission as a guide, the members
would have gone to Louisiana with clean
er hands. Mr.. Evarts's letter of instruc-
ton is a long winded document of cum-
brous phraseology.

AN INDICTMENT OF THE REPUB-
LTCAN PARTY BY THE REPUB-
LLCAN ORGAN.
[rrnm the New York Tlmes.,

Is there any doubt that the life OF the
Republican party has been gradually
squeezed out oft by the office-mongers :
Onr organization in New York is not Re-
nublican. because it is not representa-
live The machinery, which in theory
is contrived to give effect to the desire
and purpose of the party, does nothing
of the kind. 1t has been seized by the
Federal oficeholders and used to pro-
mote the interests of their chiefs and the
foIlowers of the chiefs. From the pri-
mary meeting to the State convention
the process which nominally is repre-
sentative one is farce. Every step in
it is arranged beforehand by men who
do not care what the Republican party
really wants, but who care only that it
shall be made to appear to. want that
which the managers are after.
The centre Of this vicious and stupid
system, which leaves no room in State
politics for any considerable number of
earnest and disinteres9 d men is of course
in the New York Custem House. This
is not because the chief officials there
are worse than in other public Offices,
hut because they have some 1900 men
under them, from whom they are COM
nelled to require a certain amount of
political service in the interest Of their
leaders. whoever these may be. Re-
publican principles are necessarily OF
very little importance to men who know
that their personal prosperity depends,
not on the elevation of these principles,
but ON carrying this or that district or
this or that convention for their immedi-
ate superiors. A natural consequence
of the arbitrary management Of patron
age. of which the Custom House is the
worst S because the most extensive, ex-
ample, is hopeless tendency to bar
gains. Men with honest convictions
and free to carry them out, do not trade
in politics. But the history of the Re-
publican party in this State and city is
q record Of innumerable instances OF
traffic and dicker. Proposed reforms,
which the best sentiment of the party
unouestionably demanded, have been
postponed, prevented, or defeated Alto
gether by combinations with otlce-
holding Republican managers

An alliance or general council Of the
Reformed churches throughout the world
holding the Presbyterian system, was or
ganized in London, July, 1875, by dele
gates from the various Presbyterian bod
les in the old world and the new world.

eral interest to the Presbyterian Commu-
rity; to seek the welfare of the churches
especially such as are weak and per.
secuted to gather and disseminate in
formation concerning the kingdom OF
Christ throughout the world; to commend
the Presbyterian system as scriptural,
and combining simplicity, efficiency and
adaptation to all times and conditions;
to consider all subjects directly connect
ed with the work of evangelization, such
as the relation of the Christian work to
the evangelization of the world, the dis
tribution of mission work, the combina'
ton of church energies, especially in ref
erence to large cities and destitute dis
tricts, the training of ministers, the use
of the press, Colporteurage, the religious
instruction of the young, the sanCtiflCa-
tion of the Sabbath, systematic beneh-
Cence, the suppression OF intemperance,
and other prevailing vices, and the best
methods of opposing inhdelity, &c.
