The Neproe. nj the South

are yet stepped in ignorance and
superstition, although there have
been many efforts made for their
elevation, the effects of which are
scarcely visible in small towns and in
the country. They seldom own
houses, but live in little huts which
they rent from the whites which are
always poorly furnished, as it takes
all they can earn to feed and clothe
them. Some of the men are industri.
Gus and earn one dollar per day, while
the women's wages range from Is to
SO cents, and is usually paid in
secondhand clothing OF other refuse,
as the whites who employ them
seldom have cash to spare for this
purpose. Consequently, if they want
groceries they must manage to steal
them from the white people which
they nearly all get the credit of doing,
and an honest negro is considered as
great wonder in Tennessee rs a
comet in the skies. Yet they mani.
fest no desire to rise above their
present condition, but are content
with such things as they have.
This indifference, therefore, Is their
greatest misfortune, for until they
can be brought to see their ability to
rise, they will make no effort. Many
of the older ones were born in slavery
and have no conception of anything
higher then freedom which was pur.
chased to them by the bullet at a
very dear cost to our country and ma.
ton. And now it follows that
teachers from the North must do for
them what warriors could not, as the
people of the South have all they can
do to educate their own. Neither do
they appear to realize that the blacks
are worthy or capable of higher at.
tainments. In this, however, they
are deceived, rs many of them show
great aptitude in learning, and will
in time rise from their present state
of inferiority and servitude to an
equality with the whites with whom
there must sooner or later be a ming.
ling of races. for how can the two be
kept in constant contact and yet
MAINTAIN separate existence?

THE President sent to the Senate
on Monday the nomination of Freder.
lex It. Frelinghuysen. of New Jersey,
for Secretary of State, and his nomin.
alton was promptly confirmed. Mr.
Frelinghuysen is statesman of not
unusual rank, but a gentleman whose
character stands unapproachable.
During his career in Congress he
served on Naval affairs, Judiciary,
Claims and Foreign Relations com.
mittees. In his own State he held
the Office of Attorney General for
five years, and with credit. In &C.
ceding to the very responsible posi-.
ton so ably and impartially supplied
by Hon. James G.. Blaine, the new
appointee will need to call into active
operation all his hidden and dormant
energies if he hopes to win the sup
port and admiration of the American
people in even comparative degree
to that enjoyed by his predecessor.
That he will do so there is but little
doubt.

THE High Court of Impeachment
in the case of E. st. Julian Cox, con.
vened for actual business Thursday
morning, with a full array of at.
torneys, Senators and witnesses. The
first move was to fix the compensa.
ton of witnesses at 81 per day and
six cents mile for travelling ex.
penses; SIS per day to the Sergeant
and Asst. Sergeant-at-arms; 80 pei
day to the clerk; SIS to the postmaster
and 50 per day to the keeper of the
cloak room. 1t will undoubtedly
cost the State great many thousand
dollars to try this case, which could
have been obviated if the Legislature
had felt so conscientiously economical
as they appeared to about the Blue
Earth county officials salaries.
And right here occurs a question.
If the Governor has the power to ap-
point Judge, he has the same power
to remove him, then why did not
Gov. Pillsbury when he ascertained
that Judge Cox had disgraced his
crime at once use his authority and
put stop to this legal farce.

AN effort is being made. and Gen.
John A. Logan is the instigator OF a
bill to place Gen. Grant upon the re-
tired list of the army. We fail to
see the expediency of such move
ment, inasmuch as Grant is numbered
with the heavy capitalists of this
country and consequently beyond the
requirements of pecuniary assistance
through pension. If there ever was
a time when the American people
desired to get Ulysses off their hands
and RELOCATED from public affairs, it
is just now.
