SnPar.

The people of Hawaii complain because
UNCLE SAM does not seem willing to nay to
them bounty upon the sugar they make,
while the Governor Of Texas complains
that UNCLE SAM insults his State by pro-
posing to pay her bounty upon the sugar
she makes on her convict-worked sugar
plantation. This matter of paying a
bounty to sugar-makers had much to do
with the anti-protection victories which
the Democrats achieved last November.
To talk about protecting American in
dustries" is one thing. To see UNCLE SAM
taking money out of one mans pocket to
pay over to another man is another and a
very different thing. 1t is an unanswera-
BILE argument, and we were surprised when
we first learned that the Republican lead
ers were willing thus to expose their lit
tie game"

Gold--Silyer

We have from the first regarded as very
important and dangerous the new law
under which the President Of the United
States, or rather his Secretary of the Trea-
sury, Is authorized TO refuse TO issue TO any,
body gold bullion for expectation TO for
eign countries. As few other papers we
have seen appear to look upon that law in
the same light. we have entertained the
hope that our fears were groundless. One OF
these few is the Alexandria Gazette, which
says:
"The refusal OF the Government. not only 60
supply importers with gold bars with which 70
pay for foreign goods, but also 10 redeem silver
certificates With gold coin, naturally suggests
the idea that IL Is not rs assured OF the malnte-
nance Of is gold fund as Il desires % be- and Just
as naturally Induces tendency 70 go,d-hoard-
ipg on the part Of the people
The same paper lays the blame OF such
legislation upon the Republican party.
But viii silver be able TO maintain its
present status under such circumstancesf
We constantly opposed during the last ses-
non Of Congress any measure that would

Johnston Memorial Meeting.

We trust that Lee Camp Of Confederate
Veterans. which hasibeen the leader in so
many good enterprises here, will, at Its
earliest meeting, utter the request Of Rich
mond and Virginia that the family of
General JOSEPH 4. JOHNSTON will allow his
body TO be removed to this city and buried
in Hollywood cemetery.
Also, that committee be appointed by
the Camp to arrange for a memorial meet
ing, where eulogies of General JOHNSTON
may be delivered. Religious services, we
believe, it has already very thoughtfully
provided for,
Let US be prompt TO act, and the CON-
munity will. we are sure, DO glad to have
Lee Camp speak for it.

Mr.. Lincoln and the Negroes


The National Committee OF the Afro
American Press Association committed an
inexcusable blunder when they spoke to
President HARRIsoN of Nr. LINCOLN as II
the latter had been an advocate OF the
equality Of the negroes with the whites.
In point Of fact. Mr.. LINCOLN had dis
claimed all over Illinois in his celebrated
campaign against Mr.. DOUGLAS that no was
in favor of making tho negroes the equals
of the whites. Mr.. LINCOLN said-not at
one place, but at many-the substance of
what is contained in the following para
graph. Here are his own words:
awhile at the hotel to-day an elderly gentle
man called upon me TO know whether really
was In favor of producing a perfect equality
between negroes and white people.
will say then that am not nor ever have been
In favor OF bringing about In any way the social
and political equality of the white and
black races; that am not nor ever have been
In favor Of making voters Jurors of negroes nor
Of qualifying them TO hold ONCE nor TO intermar-
ny with white people; aud viii say in addition
TO this, that there Is physical difference be-
tween the white and black races which, believe,
will forever forbid the two races living to-
geiher on terms Of social and political equality.
And inasmuch as they cannot 80 live, while they
do remain together, thero must DO the position
Of superior and inferior; and ], as much as any
other man, am In favor Of having the superior
position assigned 70 the white race. - Will
add ono further word, which Is this; That do
not understand that there Is any place where an
alteration OF the social and political relations OF
the negro and the white man can be made, ex-
cept In the State Leglslatnre-not the Congress
Of the Unitod sta,es.."-- Quoted IA the Forum
SO that il MIR. LINCOLN were living now
and were 70 declare that he still held the
opinions expressed IN the above paragraph
he would be denounced by the Afro-Ameri-
cans as an enemy Of the negroes. Yet
these Afro-Americans-why not say ne
groes ?-pretend TO hold Mr.. LScoLs's
memory in high esteem. 1t is an outrage
for anybody TO represent him as being o
traitor 20 his own race, when he took 80
much pains to make his opinions known,
and declared 30 unequivocally that he was
not even in favor of the political equality
Of the negroes with the whites.
Mr.. LIycoIS also denied the power Of
Congress over the social and political re-
ations Of the negro and the white man.

REPUBLICAN POLICY.
Thus far the Republicans have shown no
disposition to put up candidate Tor City
Treasurer-the only officer TO be voted for
at the May election-and the belief Is that
the Democratic nominee Will be the only
candidate in the field. A good many small
bets have been made "a to who that noml-
nee will be, and the canyassng among the
voters is very brisk. All three of the gen.
tlemen offering for the place are good men,
and IN which ever one succeeds the city VIII
have a good officer.

One result of the continued wet weather
since the advent OF the year, ~ the fact

very severely felt. The farmers up 10 the
present time have been unable to do any
plcughing on their lands.

Alfred Scott (colored) Of the larceny OF a
load of coal and sentenced him to thirty
davs' Imprisonment in Jail. Three parties

The following special despatch to the AL
bany Journal was sent from New; ork by one
of the most prominent Republican writers in
the country, man who is a keen observer
and who Is conservative in regard to express
in himself. The despatch reads: There is
strong movement here among Republicans,
and even including some progressive Demo-
Gratis, to put Mr.. Blaine in the Presidential
race. His mastery management of the Italian
episode. aud his sturdy defence Of American
interests has won him hosts of friends, not in
the North alone. but also in the South Even
such papers as the New York Times Post Ma
ton and Harper's Weekly, to whom the name
of Blaine has been As red rag to bull, are
strongly supporting bis cause as eminenty
statesmanlike, manly and American. In fact
he has the cordial Endorsement of the press
without regard to party. Second, his triumpbs
in the matter Of American reciprocity, and in
promoting trade and commerce with the South
and Central American States has won admira-
ton from the business men Of the country, and
has excited the deepest CONSERVATION abroad.
Third, his management CT the seal question or
Behring Sea controversy, has created astonish-
ment in London, and the article Of Mr. Ed
ward }. Phelps, in strong support of his posi-
ton, has won plaudts for him where before he
could look for nothing but opposition. Anoth-
er feather in Mr.. Blaine's hat is the forcing OF
Germany TO Withdraw her prohibition Of
American pork, thing of itself worth several
million dollars to American commerce. In
fact, in this sturdy product of the Pine Tree
State, America has found Statesman and a
diplomat second to no pettifogging premier OF
the old world and able to cope with the best of
them. If he wants the Presidency. if he will
consent even to take it, it is his. and the gener-
al opinion is that there is no one Who can make
a show of run against him."
