COOP ADVICE. The following whole
some advice is given by the Philadel
phia Inquirer, one of the Stalwart Rad
zeal organs Of that city. The editor
reminds his Radical brethren that
when they were majority in Con
gress "they put upon the appropria
tion bills legislation which it wal
wrong to put there Now that they
are in a minority, it advises them tc
"accept the inevitable, and as they can.
not help themselves, to endure as besl
they can the situation" Could any
loyal man in the Union say it any bet

SOMETHING SENsIBLE.--Some OF the
Southern negroes take a correct view Of
the Kansas emigration scheme. At a
recent session of the Dallas (Texas)
Conference Of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church resolution was
adopted declaring that the Conference
did not indorse the exodus scheme, nor
the Convention called to promote it
"by broken.down political tricksters. u
The Conference advised the colored
people of Texas to "remain at home
attend to their crops, purchase homes
and educate their children"

The UNHAPPY BuoKEYEs.-For a
party that has such trouble to keep
Ohio in the Republican column and
which sends TO Washington for civil
service reform levy of 100000 on the
Government clerks, we must say the
Republicans Of the Buckeye State are
u modest set. They already have the
occupant of the White House, the head
of the Army and Treasury, the Chief
Justice oil the Supreme Court, the
Minister torrance and the Republican
leader in the House. Not content
with all this their man Sherman is US
ing oil the powers at his command to
have himself nominated for President.
1t recalls Lincoln's joke when so many
distinguished people of Ohio visited
him at one time, that he feared the
State would tilt up in their absence
from home.

ANOTHER AGONY OvER.-The Green.
hackers held their State Convention
at Altoona, on Tuesday the, 18th, for
the purpose Of manufacturing new
platform, and nominating candidate
tor State Treasurer. They did nomi-
nate an excellent gentleman, Henry
Carey Bard, of Philadelphia, but he re.
fused TO accept denomination, knowing
that few very smart fellows were af-
ter his cash. His telegram was dis
appointment to tho cash seekers and
reform blowers. The broken forces
rallied and finally nominated Judge
Sutton, of Indiana, who is a very
wealthy retired farmer. After De
wees 4 Co. 20 through him with their
reform process his cash account will
be shorter than II has been in twenty
years. The Greenback humbug may
last through this campaign. hut II Is

ted States Senator Henderson, OF
Missouri, who has always been "loyal

evidently disturbed. lie made a 4th of
July oration at st. Louis, in which he
seems to have taken new departure,
and struck the Grant column right in
the centre. He said
We insisted upon Southern representation and
when We get II It seems we are not satisfied with
IL. Is it the quantity or quality Of this represen
tation TO which we objectf II the former be the
objection the proper remedy, Il occurs to me, Is
to elect more Republican members to Congress-.
If the latter be the objection, suggest that WE
put before our doluded brethren OF the South a
better example. Eyerslnce the war closed we
have had in the Presidential chair q military man.
We had General Grant eight years and we have
now had General Hayes three years. During
that time Republican majorlties Of two to one in
both branches Of Congress have changed into
large Democratic majoiities and the popular ma.
jority In the nation from n half million Republi-
can to q quarter Of 4 million Democrats. II
these be the legitimate fruits Of military rule what
shall we expect from the continuation This hero.
worship Is Of the evil effects Of war that needs
to be superseded by better political creeds.
Such remarks sound rather Demo
cratic, and if the ex-senator continues
to inhale similar views for a year long
er, he will come out a full-hedged
Democrat.
