The Richmond States thinks that
the sooner the Republican party
abandons the idea Of managing South
ern political affairs and especially the
negroes, the better it will be, and
concludes "When the Republican
party shall take Federal officers from

question of the future status of the
negro to be peacefully and quietly
settled by ourselves, trusting to our
Justice and humanity to deal rightly
by him, then will the solid South
cease to exist, because the necessity
for it will cease, and our parties will
both become, as they ought to be,

If any Of our old Republican friends
who have been inclined to investigate
the Greenback theories to see what
there might be to them, have not yet
discovered the trap and stepped back
thoroughly disguised from the enter

reason, if they can, why nearly all the
wisdom, virtue and philanthrophy in
our Green Mountain State should
centre and be found in this Congress
sional District. Then guess, if you
can, why men so young, unselfsh and
retiring as M. 0. Heath, L. S. Thomp-
son, Col. Sawyer and Mr.. Guyer,
should be taxed with the responsibility
Of devoting their whole time and talent
to teach wisdom, duty and philosophy
to such men as our long esteemed Ed.
munds, Dillingham;, Morrill, and scores
Of others whom the Republican party
have long delighted to honor and lool
10 for advice. Guess, if you can, WHY

was refreshed by two or three nice lit

attendance, so that all classes made
an audience Of about one hundred

an opening speech, suggested that the
rain had "injured the meeting some
Though the word seemed inappropriate
to express the idea intended, it was
undoubtedly truthful as all the rair

the gifts from Heaven have "iujured'

The platform had been profusely
supplied by industrious hands with
great variety of flowers and if the oc
casion had been a floral exhibition
might have been considered yer,
pretty and tasteful, instead of gro
tesque and incongruous. Under tn
circumstances it seemed pity that 81
much odiriferous sweetness should b
wasted on the desert air."
A heavily loaded arch, which covere,
nearly the whole front Of the platform
left no chance for the speakers to fac
the audience, but to peak through it
or endeavor to maintain a foot-hold O.
one side.
