1t is noticeable that one Of the best

Exposition was made by negro. 1t
was striking for the breadth and prac
teal character of the views expressed,
showing that the negro, when really

well as in book lore, is likely to be a
reasonable, conservative person and
not given to the assertion of unwel
come social pretensions. can oppor-
tunlty to earn a dollar day." said
the orator, sis worth more than the OPP
portunlty to pay dollar for an opera
ticket" The welfare OF the negro is to
be sought first, he suggests, in material
prosperity, not in pushing himself dis
courteously forward at places reserved
by custom for another race. The
speech is in itself proof that progress is
made in Dixie, and in an unexpected
quarter.

A PREVALENT DISEASE,

American men and women suffer from

Dyspepsia has many symptoms. 1hin,

remedy it, Not alone by resort TO drugs.
We must rest the stomach.
For this purpose we must put into n a

GO SLOW ABOUT THIS.

There has been a good deal Of discus
sion recently of the States duty to pro-
cure from Washington copies Of the mus
ter rolls Of all Virginia regiments and
companies TN the late war. In order that
we may have complete roster OF the
virginians who took part in It, and we
see that a bill has been introduced into
the House looking to that object
1t is OF course. most desirable that the
State should procure complete roster
OF her sons that were in the Confed-
crate army, but a very bad blunder may
be made if the rolls In Washington are
trusted TO for that roster Those rolls
are only what were taken from the Con-
federate War Department Now, com
plete muster rolls were probably sent up
by the various regiments in the early
part of the war, but later in the war 1T
tie attention was paid TO such matters,
and there are probably numbers OF regi-
ments and companies that have no mus
ter rolls for the last year or two OF the
war. But many Of the most gallant men
that the Confederate army had came into
the service in the last two years OF the
war. To copy an old muster-Toll of the
regiments these men joined, and thereby
TO leave their names off, would be a
scandal of the first magnitude. Further,
the early muster-rolls contain the names
OF many men who became, as the war
wore on, Company . men and general
bummers what was designed, therefore,
10 be the roll of honor might be made
TO contain many errors. while the heroes
remained unmentoned. This must be
carefully guarded against, and we don
believe that copies of the rolls in Washing
ton would serve any good purpose at all
while they would certainly mislead. There
is but one way to get complete muster
rolls, and that is 10 provide Tor the
States officers In each county TO make
them up from interviews with the peo-
pie, to be always open TO amendment ana
correction. They can be obtained 'hus
and i'm no other way.
