"A Change.
New York Sun.

The logic of the position taken by
the Republican party in the reopn-
~struction laws and the constitutional
amendments adopted after the var
is reversed entirely in the anti sQhi-
nese legislation. It shows that Ehe
negroes we're not made citizens frpm
any love of natural justice, but upon
a mere calculation of partisan advan=
tages. In like manner the Chinese
bill vas passed, not because the Re.
%publicans believe that the white la
Dor of the country is entitled to any
protection from Monaghan competi-
ton, bat because they believe it tc
be absolutely necessary in order to
save the Pacific States. to the party
in the next Congress and at the next
Presidential election.
But it is now very clear that many
of the Republican leaders are heart
lily sick of what they contemptuously
call the NEGRO experiment" This
sentiment appeared very distinctly
in the Chinese debate. Senator Jones
Of Nevada, who is known as one of
the most trusted c~ounsellois of the
faction now in possession Of the of
fees, was especially out spoken. He
regards the negro race as being to-
tally unfit for the control and man
agement of institutions created by
and for the white race; and when he
came to denounce the Asiatic helog-
ically and fairly noughincluded the
African in the same category. Fhe
admission of the latter to the ballot
box, where he holds the balance of
power and gives government to the
whole Union, was, in Senator Jones's
opinion, al almost fatal and extreme
ly foolish sentimental error, which
he does notpropose to repeat on ever
SO small a scale in the case of the
Chinese.
1t is not at all impossible that in
the course of a few years the freed.
men and their descendants, to whom
the elective franchise was given to
serve a Republican party purpose,
will be compelled to look to the Dem
ocrats mainly for protection in the
exercise of that privilege. Ignorant,
innocent, confiding, and bewildered
by the sudden acquisition of a great
power, the blacks listened to, the car
pet bag emissaries of their supposed
friends at Washington; and now all
the crimes of the reconstruction pc
Rod are charged up to theif account.
And to make matters worse with
them, certain class of visionary Re-
publicans come forward with start
ling schemes, demanding millions
from the general Government for Sc
called education. to be distributed to
the States according to the "ratio of
illiteracy," TO prepare an enormous
mass of simple electors for the exer
else of franchise conferred upon
them many years ago. Nothing has
ever occurred, no proposition was ever
made, better calculated to shock us
from our of security in reliance
upon the virtue and intelligence of
the people. When it becomes neces-
sary for the Federal power to educate
the voters, that is to say, to take its

Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, who has been looking over
the field at Washington, has made
up his mind to Two things: First,
the republican party is about to
plunge afresh into a carnival Opium
der and corruption; and secondly,
that before the close of the present
administration the party will be com
pletely rent asunder by the conflict
which the predicts between Blaine
and Arthur.

Register says: Chief Justice Chase,
Horace Greeley. Thos. Ewing, Henry
Stansbury, Gideon Welles, Governor
Curtin, Judge Davis, and ex-Sena-
tors Trumbull and Doolittle, of ILL
nois, and many other conservative
Republicans of elevated and enlarg-
ed views insisted on a restoration of
the Union with the rights of the
States 'sunimpdired." But the rad
ical leaders, who controlled the Re-
publican party, never rose to a com
prehension of the true interests and
great principles involved in the pc
culiar situation of affairs. The re-
s%toration of harmony, confidence and
fraternity, required the guidance of
men of more elevated and enlarged
views. The radical partisan and po-
litical charlatan sought to keep the
Republican party in power by keep
ing alive the sectional hatred and
feelings of revenge aroused by the
war. They never ose to the inquiry,
what will best promote the peace,
happiness and prosperity ofthe coun-
try? But with them the standard
test of every measure of public poll
cy is, will it aid or injure the pros
poets Of the Republican party?
The history of this modern Repub-
lican party, both beforehand since the
war, proves the radical and controll-
ing Republicans to be governed by
no principle or restraint, moral or
political, in their pursuit of power
and their objects of cupidity and
self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. With them
the ~ascendancy and success of the
Republican party take the place of
every thing else, supercede the well
fare and safety of the country. They
would sacrifice the country and its
liberties for their party. As Clay
said of the Abolitionists, their ante
cedents, with them the rights of
property and of persons are nothing;
the deficiency of the powers of the
General Government is nothing the
fincontestible powers and rights of
tie States are nothing; the most sol
emn pledges ofthe public faith are
nothing; civil war and the overthrow
of the Government are nothing
ambition of power and Of the con-
troll of the offices, honors and emolu
ments of the Government have taken
possession of them and they pursue
those matters reckless of all moral
or political restraints or consequence
es. This party has already destroy
ed the great essential elements of
popular government in this country,
and whether they can ever be recov-
cred and restored depends upon the
capacity and wisdom of the people
hereafter. We hope for the best
while we prepare for the worst.

A MORMON FATHER.
Sad Story of the Brutality of POlyRamy.


 The Salt Lake Tribune tells the follow ing story There is man in this city who is polygamist who has pleasant address who stands high in the favor of the authorities of his church who talks well who would, by man like Capt. Goldman, be pointed out to eastern peo- pie as living evidence of the malice and falsehood which fills the heart of decent people when they denounce polygamy. By his real wife that man became the father of several children. Upon her death and the assuming of power by the second wife, the father drove every child by his first wife away from home. He gave one delicate child, a little girl of Il years of age, to brutal farmer in the | country that man sent the child to tend stock on @ mountain side, where every night the child suffered the agony of the damned in natural childish fear. Now the children are scattered through three or four States and Territories, and though this child is here in the city the unnatural brute of father has not called to see her for seven months. And he is well off, he has abundant means to provide for his children, and were it not so, he has two strong arms and could earn comfort able living for them. | But the shame of her place haunted the second wife until the first wife died, and then the hate which had been smol- dering through the years burst into flame |
 and she determined that the presence of that woman's children should be Q re- proach to her and her children no lon ger. And the father, embruted by his former acts, having learned to think of his children as he did of his calves by different COWS, turned his heart against his first-born and drove all the children which the wife of his youth had borne to him into the street at the bidding of the woman, who, in that way, sought for respite from the cries which her own wounded womanhood had been assailing her soul with for years. The foregoing is no fancy sketch. The little girl who was sent to the mountains alone, to herd stock and to sleep alone in Q tent on the mountain side, is right here, and can be seen by any who are curious to investi- gate the case. And yet this infamous system, which transforms Q man into brute and woman into tiend, we are told is 8 system, which the god of jus tice declares necessary in order to save the souls of, forlorn women. It is this system which George Q. Cannon coun- sels his people to practice, even if in doing so it is necessary to set all laws at defiance. Is it not about time that some- thing direct should be done to stop this business? The Thugs mercifully killed their victims they did not put their own children out in the mountains to die of cold and fear. If any one thinks we. are wrong it will cure him or her to listen for half an honr to the story of the child who was made @ stock herder.

What is an Architect :?

The Rev. J. Jessop tells the following anecdote The late MT. Alexander, the eminent architect, was under cross-exam- ination at Maidstone, by Sergeant, after ward Baron, Garrow, who wished to de- tract from the weight of his testimony, and, after asking him what was his name, proceeded:
 "You are builder. I believe ?''
 "No, sir, I am not builder I am an architect
 "They are much the same, I SUD- pose?"
 "I beg your pardon, sir, cannot ad- init that consider them to be totally different.
 "Oh, indeed perhaps you will state wherein this great difference exists?"
 "An architect, sir" replied MT. Alex ander, conceives the design, prepares the plan, draws out the specifications in short, supplies the mind the builder is merely the bricklayer or the carpenter. The builder, in fact, is the machine the architect the power that puts the ma- chine together and sets it going.'
 "Oh, very well, MT. Architect, that will do. And now, after your very in, genious distinction without difference perhaps you can inform the court who was the architect of the Tower of Ba bel ?"
 The reply, for promptness and wit, if not to be rivalled in the whole history O rejoinder, "There was no architect, sir hence the confusion. l"

A Youth Who Wouldn't Be Hazed.

A little while since four bold, bad sophomores in 6 certain college ln this State went into the room of a freshman whom they judged to be verdant. After the sophomores had got into the room the freshman asked what they wished. "Oh, we've come to put you through" " was the reply. The freshman told them they had better not attempt anything, but they scornfully refused to listen to advice from member of lower class, and made rush for the youth, whom they took to be green. With blow he laid one of the sophs upon his back. In the melee that followed the lamp was overturned and extinglished, when the freshman grasped chair and the sopho- mores were compelled, to beat nasty and disastrous retreat The next morn ing the freshman was called before the President of the College, who inquired the cause of the disturbance in his room the proceeding evening. The freshman narrated the circumstances of the case very minutely and the President listened with the greatest attention. When the freshman had finished, the President said ''And you cleared them out ?'' "Yes," was the answer. 'I congratulate you upon your success" said the Presi- dent, as he took the boys hand and gave it a hearty shake. ke.-LeaOisto,e Zo3xy.nnZ
