At the other end of the hall is Mr.. Lincoln

had somewhat faded in the mind Of this age
but in smart lettering his motto is preserved
on the WALL: " And that government Of the
people. and for the people by the people, shall
not perish from the earth.'
Gen. Washington, also of doubtful au-
thenticity, occupies the middle Of the hall.
Without regard to present or past disputes,
twelve great Republicans line the sides of
the building.
The first is Sumner, who bolted in 1872, and
Grant soon afterwards stood at his funeral
The next is John 4. Andrews, who hesitated
at the suggestion of Grant IN 1868, but finally
wrote: :" It is the best attainable good, but
1t Is not the ideal good" The third Is Fes-
senden, who voted against the impeachment
scheme, and died, like his friend Grimes, not
long thereafter. The next is Seward, whose
magniicently disciplined battalions came to
Chicago twenty years ago confident and bold,
and only pigeon-holed him in the Cabinet of
an unknown Western man. Then comes
Greeley (sone say replaced by Dix), a de-
serter, but pardoned for the kindness of his
motives, because Grant to-day occupies the
identical ground toward the South that
Greeley did eight years ago. The next por-
trait Is Thaddeus Stevens, the most radical
individuality Of the party, who was always
at war with these Camerons and hardly less
with the compromising BlalneS and Sher-
mans. Then comes Chief-Justice Chase,
twice the competitor OF Lincoln for the Pres
idency and twice Of Grant. Joshua Gid
dlngs, of Ohio, is the next man, one Of the
great pugilists of freedom; and poor Dick
Yates, who gave Grant Ills commission as
Colonel Ut Volunteers, stands next-a happy
but unexpected act of remembrance. Then
comes Ben Wade, dead put yester-

AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION
with the Secretary of the National Commit
the South. / asked him if the exodus Of the
negro in the future depended upon the elec-
tion Of Democratic or Republican Presi-
dent .
causes OF this exodus are above politics, and
even above violence. The tirstcause is thatthe
South is overstocked with labor. The second
is the restleSsness in the negro'S MUD.
There is altogether too much labor in the
South, and there is no stimulation for q white

regarded as needless pieceof extravagance.
For the same class Of servants North you pay
proof of there being too much Of It, and the
Northern people, hearing Of such cheap la-
bnr, are sending through various agencies to
get servants out Of tile South. One servant
writes back to another that she is getting $40

JOHN SHERMAN.
One of the stiffest anti-Sherlnan men in the |

EDITORIAL experience ought to give him
good knowledge of the Western Reserve.
