Your BUsINEss.-Many good men
say they have nothing to do with poll
tics. Many rather boast of this. But
they are egreglously wrong. Politics,
big or little, is but short way of ex-
pressing public business, and the man
who let's the public business go wrong
will soon feelit in his private business,
and feel it to his cost.-NoJolk Land.

Very few things are certain until they

ANOTHER WITNEss.-Henry Ward
Beecher, General Grant and the Rev.
Mr.. Talmage have visited the South,
and have expressed the opinion that its
condition Is far superior than they could
expect 1t to be. The results of the war
are recognized; the people are engross~
ed in their own affairs they are gener-
GUS, heightened and conservative, and
the rights of the emancipated negroes
are sacredly respected. Another wit
ness to this fact, is the Rev. DIR. w. f.
Hatfield, of Northern Methodist Church,
who, on last Sunday. lectured in that
city, his subject being: His recent visit
to the South, and his impressions of the
country and its people.
DIR. Hatfield opened with the states
ment that nowhere in his travels has he
ever met with such genuine courtesy
and hearty hospitality, and he advises
heads of families and young men who
cannot make living North to 60 South
and buy farm, assuring them that if
they mind their own business, devote
themselves to developing the industry
of the country, refrain from boasting of
having thrashed the Southerners, and
from thrusting into undue prominence
the unsav0ry truth that negro is the
equal of the white man, they will be
heartily welcomed.
In the relation of its people to the col
ored race, DR.. Hatfield remarked that
the South is doing all in its power to
lift up the colored men to the rank of
intelligent, useful and moral citizens
The progress made in the education of
these people was remarkable, and he re-
ferred to the building set apart for the
colored children in Richmond, as being
as fine as any schoolhouse in New York
city. He found the ooloFed people in
dustrious, happy and contented, and
not striving for higher wages or shorter
hours. Many of them own farms, work
them with zeal, and are encouraged in
their efforts by the advice and assistance
of their former masters. Norfolk Vir-

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Con-
vENTIoN.-The National Republican
Convention will meet in Chicago on
next Wednesday, tomorrow, to nomi-
nate candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States.
1t would seem that the probabilities are
in favor, by hook or by crook, of the
nomination of Gen. Grant for Presi.
dent. We hope he will be the nominat-
ed, as we have consistently maintained,
as we have sincerely believed, that he
can be defeated, if the Democrats will
make wise nomination at Cincinnati
in the Democratic Convention, which
will meet in Cincinnati on the 22nd
instant. We have no fears of Grant, il
the Democrats ACT. wisely, for we believe
that the corruptions of Grants admin
istrations, together with the objections
to the election of any man for the third
term, will defeat Grant. We believe
that these things will handicap him to
such degree that he will not be able
to win the race. The Democrats have
many thing to hope from the nomina-
ton of Grant. If Grant be forced upon
the Republican party, the Democrats
can defeat him if they be united, as W.
hope they will be.
