THE WAYS OF THE TRANS.
GRESSOR.

Judge Hoadlyi is doubtless very
sorry that he ever sought the emp
ty honor of a nomination as the
democratic candidate for Cover
nor of Ohio. 1t has not only cost
him large sum of money, for ac-
cording to report he paid $50, 900
for the nomination and S25, 900
to the campaign treasury, besides
satisfying the 1eeches who fasten-
ed upon him, but tie excitement,
annoyance, exposure, and morti-
ticatiOn has resulted in nervous
prostration.which required him to
leave the canvass in order to save
his llte-and all this without the
slightest hope or expectation OF
being elected. IIoadly will nev~
er be candidate for Governor
Again. lnter-Ocean.
There will be a political earth
quake up there about the 9th
OF October next, that will shake
the old Buckeye state from GEN.
ter to circumference, sufficient to
en- Sluf the whole democratic
party of that region. #

BLACK DISPATCH.

We see from "A black dispatch from the
Chicago COnscrvutOT to the Chicago Tri-
bune, that all the younger element of the
colored people are opposing the convention;
it also says that it is the general opinion OF
the coiored people there that there will be
no convention at L. uisvile. He further
states that ct is announced that FredeI ick
Douglass, who was to be the principal
delegate from his District, and probably
chairman of the convention, is ill and will
not attend.' We must say to the Tribune
and Brother Barnett that they are misin-
formed, that like the Press Convention at
ST. Louis. it is only the young element that
forms the Independents. The young ele-
ment of the Republican and Democ. attic
parties, is all the old ringsters need to fear
in the SOUTH as to their people not believ-
ing that there will he convention. That
will depend upon the amount of weight
their absence will have on the body that
will meet Brother Scott seems to have q
delegation from Illinois which is sufficient.
About Hon. Fred Douglass illness and abb
sence, that will he very much regretted, as
we know of no man identified with the col
ored race whose name is so much revered
as his, and we think, personally, that there
is no place in the gift of the nation too good
for him. We hope he Will be present.

LIARS WITH SHORT MEMO.
RIES.

The veritication of the old ad
age that ''liars should have good
memories Is torcibly illustrated
in the recent charge of the Bour-
bon press and the leaders of the
party that the republicans Of the
last congress were responsible for
the reduction Of the duty on wool,
Senator Sherman fatty contra,
diets this assertion and "pulls the
record on these partizan SANDER
ers. He says that every demo
crat IN the senate and nearly eve
ry democrat in the house voted
tor q reduction of over twenty
per centum on this article, when
the bill for the revising of the tar
lit was under final consideration
The fact that it finally passed in
the shape that it now is, was due
to the fact that the republican
majority in congress was so small
that with the aid of a few scat
tering republican votes in its ia
vor in the house, it became law.

Some folks harbOr the idea that to be an
American, you must be white. The real
fact is that white is alien to the American
continent, if we possibly except the peoples
of the Arctic regions; and even these are
not white in the sense that it is commonly
understood. Among the millions found
upon the continent by Columbus and the
early Spanish, and English. and French.
and Dutch navigatOrs, not white face was
among them. All were colored. Both
white and black, then, are alien colors.
The demand made, therefore, that we shall
change color before being recognized as
Americans, is purely superogatory. We
have as much right, and really a little more,
to demand that the whites shall change
their color. AS matter OF fact, we more
nearly possess the continental color than
they. What that color is is seen in the
face of the ark-browed Sioux, with others
of the aboriginal tribes. it is seen in the
Indians of Mexico. There is therefore no
occasion for us to ke greatly concerned
about our color. 1t is as much American
as is the color of the whites. But neither
is permanent. Both are to be softened
down or up, and brought nearer the color
which the physical condition of the conti-
nent bring about. The tribes of men who
have been for generation after generation
impressed by these conditions, are seen to
be, we have said. neither white nor
black. Unless We imagine these physical
laws to be abrOgated, the same result must
inevitably come to the peoples who in the
future are for generation after generation
to dwell under their iniuence.-[Christian

Gen Durbin Ward, who was de-

Judge Hoadly, has made dis
covery for which he should have
"a political patent at least.
He attributes the failure of the
rebellion to the fact that the states
seeded as states and not as indi-
viduals, or in other words, each
fellow in the south should have
gone Oft on tangent somewhere,
ana left the state to the tender
mercies of the negroes and yan-
KEGS. Perhaps in so doing a vast
deal of suffering, bloodshed and
treasure would have been saved
