Reason vs. SOphistry.

The Hrntsville( Ala. GAZETTE says
the colored people of that State ''pre-
fer their present servility in the Re-
publican party" because that party
"has made no attempt to march them
to the polls at the point of the bayo-
net or the mouth OF shot gun.-N.Y.
Globe.
There is combined in this statement
both a misquotation and misconstruc-
tion of our words which, whether the
result of design or accident, exposes
The Globe to censure-if design for
unfairness if by accident for careless
ness.
Now onr article from which the
above purports to be a quotation re-
iuted the charge of servility on the
part Of colored Republicans and there
fore did not attempt to palliate that
which it denied, by any argument
whatever. A colored Republican is
first rate example Of truly inde-
pendent man.
But says the Globe in its attempt to
demolish the target of it's own erec-
ton, "while they (Republicans) did
not march the colored voters up to the
ballot OK at the p lint of the bayonet,
they did march them upon the bayO-
nets of Democrats when they had the
whole power of the Government with
which to crash out the bayonets and
shot-guns IF the opposition. 1t can
not be denied or rubbed out that the
loss of the colored vote in the South is
due more to the treachsry and chick
en-heartedness Of the Republican Ad-
mini>trations of President Grant than
to the Democracy of the South. The
Democrats did not make the colored
man citizen, and it was not t. the
advantage of the Democl acy to shield
him i'll his rights; but the Republican
party did give the colored man the
ballot, and it did fail TO shield him in
the enjoyment of it. Then, who il to
blame, the Democracy, who dehed the
law. or the Republican party, which
failed to crush the defiance :? Ask the

ol;na and Louisiana who sold them
ont in 1876, and they will tell you
that President Hayes did it in fulfil
ment of the infamous bargain by
which he became President. The man
who forces another upon bayonet is
as much an enemy as the man who
holds the weapon. x The
Democrats make the laws for us---hard
laws How shall we make our
strength felt so as to aid in making
the laws? Can we do it standing by
the s.grand old party" or by dividing
up like other classes of citizens ? Let
every man answer for himself"
What sophistry lis not such talk too
weak to be called an argument even
for debating club, mnch less basis
for the government Of the action OF
freemen in the discharge of import
ant duties of citizenship. This logic
will saddle upon the Republican par
ty all the evil consequences flowing
from our more elevated plane as cit
;zsns from the Sitting of Whittaker's 8
ears to the stumping of school boys
toe, or from the defeat Of colored
candidate for Congress to the failure
of a grocer.
Such logic would convict the Savior
of putting to death and prosecuting
HE APOSTLES. For while he did not
stone them or behead them himself
he did force them into these dangers,
says the Globe philosophy, and did
fail to shield them.
The fact is that no citizen. white or
culored has right to expect any spec
iaI protection of the Government in
special privileges. On the contrary
every citizen must rely to great de-
gree upon his own tact and intelll-
gence for the full possession and en-
ioyment Of his rights. Abraham Lin
coin when about to issue the Eman-
cipation Proclamation was questioned
as to the future of the Negro and told
his Root hog or die anecdote,
showing how clearly he foresaw that
the black man would have to rise or
fall by his own exertions. The Re-
publican party, in the teeth Of Dem
ocratic resistance, clothed him with
citizenship and bade him "God speed.
But We are no apologist for the er-
rors and omissions Of Republican Ad-
ministrations. II any element of the
party has right to complain of Hayes
policy" it is the Republicans Of the
South. Their grievances are known
to the world. Yet in the alternative
presented the Negro between the two
parties, the comparison which any
sensible man must make before de-
Gliding between them forces the con-
clusion that the Republican, party is
and has been the colored mans only
safe guard, politically
1t would not at all alter the si5ua-
ii N If the ID mocr.tic party Was all
powerful IN the South. The very
fact Of its being all powerful would
signify that it Was made solid by its
Traditional prejudice and opposition
to the political rights of colored men.
But thanks to the steady adherence
Of the Negro to principle the Demo-
cratic party is not all-powerfnl and is
becoming less so daily. Indedendent
men are leaving its antiquated pref
udices and practices, and if not join
ing the Republicans at least acting
with them for common purpose.

THE C, A, r, IN DELAWARE,

About the 18th day of January, 1880, the
Order Of the Grand Army was instituted in
Deleware, says the Wilmington Republican, by
the organization Of Smyth Post No. 1, in this
city, with Ga members. The Post has met with
reverses, but now through wise and judicious
management it numbers about 100 members
and is in flourishing condition.
DUPONT Post, No. 2, was organized the same
year. and shortly after Robert Fraim, Esq, was
appointed Provisional Commander. General
William w. S. McNair was the first Depart
ment Commander, and under his efficient ad-
ministrati0n the Order continued to increase
until at the end Of his term he turned over to
his successor, General Wainwright, the present
Department Commander, nine Posts with a
membership of 800 Its doors are open to all
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors with
out respect to creed or politics, and it is con-
fidently expected that ere long it will embrace
in its ranks all of that class in the State of
Delaware.

A JILTED MAIDEN RECEIVERS DAM
AGES,

In the Supreme Court Of Philadelphia the
appeal of Charles Markley, a bachelor of
fifty-two years, from the Judgment of the
Lancaster county court, where Eliza Kes-
sering, a maiden of thirty-seven, succeeded
in obtaining verdict of S99775 against
him for breach of promise, was argued.
Markley lived in Msytown, across the way
Miss Kessering WAS seamstress, and
frequently visited Mrs. Heistand, and was
a customer of hers, often staying for weeks
at time. 1t was here that Marllley be-
came acquainted with Eliza. He was at
first timid, but his visits became more
frequent, and finally he went up to Harris
burg, where Miss Kessering was staying.
Markley denies it, but Miss Kessering
says that Markley had not visited her more
than a dozen times, when, on Sunday, the
10th day of August, 1879, he asked her to
marry him, and she conscnting, the day was
named for the second Thursday of February
following After this, it is said, Markley
frequently called on Eliza at Mrs Hiestand's
hotel, and at different times, gave her
presents, and money with which to purchase
her trOusseau. The courtship of the couple
seems to have been a great deal talked
about by the friends Of the pair.
Eliza claims to have made great prepara-
tions for the wedding, and besides the
money received from her ahianced, she
states that she was the recipient of a
number Of presents, including q silver
castor and dozen silver spoons which
General Simon Cameron gave to her when
he heard of her engagement The General,
she says made her acquaintance at Mrs
Hiestand's hotel, where he frequently
stopped. Everything seemed to be smiling
until the Goth of January, shortly before
the day fixed for the wedding when Eliza
says that Charles called on her and said that
he guessed he was too old and too lame to
get married. She replied that he ought to
have thought of it sooner.
1t seems she never spoke to him again,
but scme time afterWard brought her suit
TO recover damages for the breach of promise
At the trial she testified to Markley's
aIdency for the time being, and sudden
coolness at the breaking of the engagement
Mr.. Markley, however, denied that he had
ever promised Miss Kessering TO marry her,
and he claimed shat he stopped visiting her
because his father, g very old man, was
lying at the point Of death, and died about
q month after the coolness. He thought it

THE SOLDIERS, HOME IN OHIO.

A correspondent writing from Dayton, O.,
says:
The season is fairly open-the Home is
crowded with visitors daily. The first cxcur-
sion of the season arrived on Monday and on
Wednesday two large excursions from Indian
apols, Indiana, came. There were fully 1000
persons on the grounds. There are great i'm
provements going on; over 100 men are
engaged cutting and laying sods around the
largest of the three lakes, covering three acres.
New roads are to be built, sewers made and all
the buildings are to be painted shrubbery
planted and valuable additions are to be made
go the collection Of animals and birds. The
number of men employed at present, in all
branches, is 1854. The number of inmates on
furlough is 1,070. During the month Of April
twenty-nine deaths occurred. On Tuesday
Morning last an old veteran was found dead
in bed with his throat CUT the Monday pre-
vious he got a furlough to 90 home and was in
good glee. In the evening of the Same day he
received a letter from his daughter, informing
him that he was not wanted at home, that he
had better stay where he was; this so preyed
on his mind that he took his own life.
Three months ago he sent one thousand dol
lars home to his children, which he received
from the Government for arrears of pension
as soon as they had got all he was not wanted.
There have been cases of a similar kind before
where old worn out veterans have received as
high as ten thousand dollars arrears of pension
and gone home on furloughs; the children
have then robbed them of their money and
sent them back to the home. Mrs A. T. Stew
art Of New York city presented to this home
1000 spring mattresses. The widow Of Gen
eral Candy, who was killed by the Indians, is
now stopping here. She is the sister of Gen
eral NJ. Il. Patrick, Governor of the Home.
Among the inmates is an old Mexican war
veteran, named Carpenter; he was at one time
Senator from Pennsylvania. Oscar Wilde spent
three hours here and was delighted and sur
prised to see such a beautiful place. 30
