enemies The New York World is correct in
the opinion that the vague and irrational
versions Of great thirgs to be found and en-

not necessary to impute the whole RESPONSE

inhame it. 1t is on far greater scale, but il

Palestine, in the belief that they would
thereby not only secure the spiritual bless

of Missouri river steamers in one line under
the title of the Northwest Transportation
company In the consolidation Messrs
Wilder and Charles sell their three boats to

trade, while Commodore Kountz, OF the AL

boats. but has nothing to do with the man
agement, the controlling spirits being Cap

kins, of Sioux City, and Ed Comings, former
ly of Sioux City, but recently located in st.
Paul. The new company have fleet of nine
steamers, as follows: Fontanelle, Peninah,
General Meade, General Rucker, General
Custer and John G. Scully, with three others
in prospective should business require. This
consolidates all the opposition to the Coulson
line on the Upper Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers and gives it about the same tonnage,
while the management have had long expe-
rience and are we'll backed by capital, and
goes into the trade with the determination to

Two boats of the feet are loading at Bis

THE NEGRO DUPEs.

1t is strange that the colored people will
Learn nothing by experience. Nothing can
eradicate their ignorance and credulity.
They are putty in the hands of designing
demagogues, ever ready to be used as foot
balls by Office seekers. The black tide which
Is soon to submerge the doubtful political
States is produced not by desire to promote
the interest of the negro, bat to use him for
partisan purposes The Republicans care
nothing for the suiferings of the blacks so
they derive power, place and plumber. The
fact is now clearly established-Is confessed
by tn ose accountable for It--that the negro
exodus at the south is the result of move
ment organized by the Republican leaders of
the north with view to the recovery and
perpetuation Of Republican power in the
, government. By drawing the negro popu-
lation from the south to the north the Re
publicans aim to decrease the strength Of
Democratic States in congress, and conse-
quently in the electoral college for President
and Vice-Preaident, aud correspondingly
increase their own strength in Republican
States upon the basis of the Federal cersus
to be taken next year. The Republican
working upon the ignorance and imagina
ton of the poor black people of the south
care nothing for the effect upon the industrial
interests that must suffer by the loss of plan
tation labor which the negro alone can well
perform, or for the loss and suffering their
dupes must undergo at the north, or for the
interests of the white working men of the
north, which must be seriously injured by
the increase of II needy laboring population.
The end they seek is partisan gam, no mat
fer now much the masses Of the people may
lose in consequence. Old Zach Chandler
