Ar the colored emigration meeting at
Columbus on Monday evening, Mr..
Chittenden "would like to wipe out the
word negro;" and DR.. Byers favored
striking out the word "colored." These
gentlemen seem to decline TO recognize
Nature-to acknowledge existing iacts'
These gentlemen cannot make the negro
a white man, higher power being
against them. Their nonsensical Whims
will not turn back the cause OF nature
and make black white. Names are
things. We have the black, or negro
race; and the white or caucasian race
to say nothing of other races, The black
and white are the extremes in regard tc
color, hair, and possibly other character
istics. The world must and will recog
nize existing facts, however unpalatable
they may be to some mawkish gentle
map

She Did it at Last.

A Preston, Connecticut farmer, find
ing that rats were making sad havoc
with the provender in his cellar, pur-
chased a cat that was recommended as
a mouser. For while after not a rat
was TO be seen and their depredations
ceased entirely. This apparent success
made the old man boast that Tab was
more'n a ordinary cat," and the animal
soon had the confidence Of the whole
family. Two months had not passed
however, before the servant girls old
familiar cry was heard about MONDAY
upon the cellar stairs. Rushing 10 the
door, the farmer inquired: " What is
the matter Bridget" " Bless me sowl," "
replied Bridget, as l was getting per-
talees I saw the cat ating on one side
Of her plate and an ould rat atlng on the
other side, and she just purred and pur'
red, while the dirty sharp nosed baste
was atlng very peacefully like, aud
winkin' wld his eye as much as to say,
do ye mind, well both live at the
expense of the house." Then persav-
ing me, and dartln' Tor me fate, the
bas.e. he druy me screaming to the
shtars. That cat niver shtrred any
more nor though she was been charmed
bv a shtake." The farmer could not
believe the tale, so the next day he
took it upon himself to watch the cat
when she was taking her meals, and sure
enough out came AN old rat, exhibiting
familiar air and perfect delight in the
presence of Tabby, at whose dish he re-
freshed himself without in the least ex'
citing the ire OF the cat. This move
relationship was continued, but the ser
want glrl could not be restrained from
screeching and dropping the crockerJ
every time she saw the animal. This
made the thing so expensive that the
farmer concluded to kill the rat. He
was a good marksman, but the interest
that had excited sympathy for the AMI
NAL in his heart unnervcd him for tht
deed. and his aim WAS inaccurate, and
he missed the rodent, only to see Tabby
who had so long allowed the rat to eaI
at her plate bounce upon it, take it by
the neck, and with two shakes put 1t tC
death. Now he is nquiring what pow
er kept the cat from killing it before.

THE STATE DEBT.
ALetter Worth Reading.

The following letter, written by Hon.
James Barbour to Col. Peyton, of Au-
gusta, will well repay careful perusal.
Mr.. Barbour was chairman of the finance
committee for the lat two terms OF the
legislature and ls better acquainted with
the public debt than any other man per-
baps in the state. This letter treats oil
the subject in the true Vhglnian spirit
and after the manner Of statesmen'
and the experience of the writer in pub
lie matters, his attainments and reputa'
ton as a lawyer entitle his views to the
utmost consideration.
l respectfully recommend the letter
to our people as fair, calm and com
plcte vindication Of our cause against
all the vltuperation, slang and misstate-
ment of brokers' campaign papers.
Respectfully,
II. II. RIDDLEBERGER

Sucuring a Gem.

A few nights ago a Plttsburg news
boy found what he thought was piece
of very bright glass about the size OF a
pea. He noticed it lying IN gutter,
and was attracted by Its brilliancy. He
carried it around in his pantloons pock-
ct with his pennies. 1t was a smooth
little piece of glass, and seemed to
have been once set in ring.
One day a well-known young man
stopped TO buy a paper from the boy
In making change the boy took out a
handful of pennies, and among them
was the stone. The young man notic>
ed the stone and his eyes began to glls-
ten. He asked the boy what it was,
aud was told it was piece of glass he
had found in the gutter

that the proposed settlement will re-
quire no increase of taxation. IF so
improbable thing as a gain Of tem-
porary power from such a canvass
should come. 1t would be OF no more
avail than the Funding Bill settlement
of 1871. You and those who concur
with you desire a cessation of agitation
IN reference to this subject. Hence
they seek settlement that can be met
without an increase Of the rate Of taxa

that limit can terminate the agitation,
give peace TO our people, or security to
our creditors.
Very truly and respectfully yours.
