LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

II don't object" said the quartermas-
ter, on Sunday morning, while the ship
running toward the equator. before
the northeast trade wind, IL don't object
to PRAYERS when it blows a hurricane, or
when we are on q lee-shore. But mere
we are called aft to prayers when the
weather is AS fine as ever was made ialr
winds every day a clear sun at noon ;
sky sails, studding sails and everything
else set not a brace or sheet unbelayed
for six weeks the ship going ahead So
steady that she could carry q glass oil

THE ooLoRED VOTE IN THE SOUTH.

from the St. Louis Republican, May 9Th
Hon. Percy Bysshe Shelley Pinchback
lectured to a small audience in Cairo.
Illinois, the other night, and among
other things he said that Tho color line
in the South had been broken, and that
hereafter the republican party would
not get an undivided support from the
colored people," Mr.. Pinchback being
a colored man himself-and an uncom-
monty shrewd one-knows whereof he
afirms. Being a strong republican he
undoubtedly wishes it were otherwise,
but the facts stare him In the lace, and
disagreeable as they are he IS compelled
to acknowledge them.
Now what is it that has divided the
colored vote in the south? Nothing
but the fair and quare treatment which
the colored people have received from
the democracy. Take South Carolina
as an example. Republicans, black and
white, confess that they have better
government under Hampton than they
had under Chamberlain, and that every
c pledge made by the democratic COVER
nor has peer more than fulfilled
. Hampton, if q candidate for reelection,
would get two thirds of the coloret
~ vote. A similar policy has accomplished
SIMILAR results in other southern states
The colored people have tried the demo
ID cratic party, like 1t, and many. If not thu
q. most OF them, will support 1t hereafter
s. The only '~bull-dOzing" that has bee
applied to them is in the shape OF goo,
faith and honest dealing. The republi
cans, when in power, used:them as tool
to perpetuate this power and assist /
the stealing which accompanied it. In
democrats. knowing that the interests {
he the two races are and always must h
identical, have treated the African con
ID. munity accordingly. They have nj
lied to them, or robbed them, or abuse
them. They have protected them in II
ma enjoyment OF all their rights. and tt
I'd. consequence is that the two races a
&c. dwelling together in peace and pro
adj perity. and the bottom is knocked out
the republican party in the south.

Kansas City Tlmes:-The benefits OF
democratic rule as compared to the out
o of radical rule, can find no better
illustration than in South Carolina. One
session of the South Carolina Legislature
under radical rule cost Sl.34l, 255; an
other cost 1888, O23. The cost of the
legislature of that state d
ic rule in 1877, was only S77, JIG. Ye,
the former is the government that Grant
upheld with United States soldiers, ant
the kind of government some republican,
| are mean enough to abuse Hayes to-
abandoning. President Hayes can no"
and then do some foolish things. but h
need not fear the verdict OF history Oh
his conduct in that matter.
