Off their reserve, and, hy communion
with our people, ascertained the true
relation existing between the two races
and have given the Northern people
the benefits Of their investigation.
These, however, have been so few
i'm proportion to the many letters
written against us, as 20 make no
pcrccptible impression upon the
Northern mimi. Indecd, such writer's
have been accused of having been
bought up or otherwise unduly inilu-
enced hy leading Democrats. Such
willful pcrvciscncss on the part Of
our Northern citizens is unjust, un-
reasonable and manifest a disposition

Such people love darkness rather
than light and will not be informed
because correct information must
initiate against their peculiar politi-
cal dogmas and thereby destroy par

The New Bills.

Since the last veto Of President
Hayes, the Democrats in Congress-
have decided TO introduce and pass
new Army and judicial Appropria-
ton bills. sufficiently modified in
their previously Objectionable fea-
lures TO meet the views Of the Presi-
dent. Tie Radicals, however, bent
upon 'rulc or ruin policy" have
determined 10 oppose the passage OF
the bills and TO secure other vetoes
from the President unless they are
so altered as not to interfere in the
slightest degree with the control OF
the Executive over the army, whether
it be to use it as police force or not
as he may elect.
The Judicial bill has already pass
ed the Senate by strict party vote
which is sure sign Of veto. So
far as the South is concerned, we
think very little stress should be put
upon the Army bill; what We need
most is the repeal of the test oath
and the law allowing supervisors OF
elections and special marshals. The
first is disgrace to our statute book
because it makes the Court to consist
only nf n judge, instead of judge and
jury together the second is unneccs.
snry and uBwarranted, because the
law provides the modes Of elections
and the managers to conduct them.
These unjust provisions, however,
give the control of elections to the
Radical party and they mean to bold

A Sad State of Affairs.

The ratio Of divorce TO marriage
has been as follows during tho last
few years in four New England
States: Vermont, to 16; Nassachu.
sets, to 23; Rhode Island, to Is ;
Connecticut, l to 10. If Maine and
New Hampshire have like divorce
record, the number Of couples in the
New England States who make g
shipwreck Of matrimony is about
at least eighteen hundred annually.
This is certainly sad state of af-
fairs, and we publish it not for the
purpose Of exulting over our New
England cousins, but simply to show
that they are worse off morally than
the Southern people, who, in the eyes
Of the average New Englander, are lit.
tie better than the Hottentots. This
may he civilization, but, we mus,
confess, it is of kind that we do no,
wish to see at the South.

Co!ored Democrats.

SosOIVo
The opinion prevails among our
colored citizens that a colored man
cannot bc anything else than Re.
publican. There is evidently consid
cradle misapprchension as to the true
political position the citizen bears to
the State. In Republican govern
mcnt like ours great political parties
will exist in order that the opinions
Of one set Of individuals may not be.
como oppressive to another class.
The constitution recognizes the citi-
zen as controlling element in the
government and therefore he is enti.
tied to his opinion rs to how the gov.
crnment should be administered. A
number of citizens entertaining the
same opinion come together and or
ganizc themselves into a party the
better TO carry into execution their
peculiar views. These opinions arc
not based upon the color Of the skin,
the race to which The citizen belongs
or the section Of country in which he
happens TO live; but they should be
founded upon honest views as TO the
most practical method OF administer
ing the affairs OF the government re-
eartllcss of these accidental circum-
stances.
Every honest man, who has the
welfare Of his fellow citizen, in the
aggregate, at heart, will spurn any
such control over his political con-
duct rs will force him to occupy n
position his honest judgment does
not approve. If colored man, there
fore, entertain views in accord with
those of his white ncighbors, he, to
all intcnts and purposes, belongs TO
tho came party TO be consistent
ufHt tsaatt aattiiRftaiR -Ais Pelitical man.
hood, he must SO declare himself and
use every honest effort to secure the
supremacy Of his party.
+ We know quite number Of such
colorcd mcn-men WHO are Demo
Gratis now and have been from the be-
ginning Of their freedom. They are
honest in their opinions, and for this
honesty, they have suffered at the
hands Of their fellow citizens Of the
same race.
We trust the time is near at hand
when the colorcd people will be sufii-
GENTLY educated to think for them
selves, and will he bold enough TO as
scrt and TO maintain their honest
opinions. When this is the case, be
will he respected by his fellows and
npplauded in course Of conduct
where he is now condemned. Indeed in
view of the corruption of the last doz-
en- years and the utter failure Of the
Radicals to better the condition of
the race, we cannot undcrtana how Oh
honest colorcd maa can be other than
q Democrat.
