THE TIMES EXPLANATIONS.

THE Richmond, Va. TIMES in reply
ing to the HarrisonbHrg SPIRIT OF TIL
VALLEY relative to colored officers
says:
"If there has been anything in the
columns of The Times to indicate thai
it was "incensed" against the Negro
soldiers for wanting their own officers
we are not aware of it,"
And again:
We are sure that there has been nc
such feeling in our heart. On the con.
trary we have gone out of our way tC
impress the fact that we entertain the
kindest sort of feeling for the colored
people"
Yes, indeed. The same kind of feel.
! ing that a master has for his dog. The
dog cannot sit at his desk down town
but under it; neither rise above the
condition in which he found himself
bus must eternally bea dog at the
feet OF master. How kind. siri
Indeed our opposition to the ap-
pointment OF Negro officers is due par
TALLY to that fact"
OF course it isl The TINES says:
1T is certainly not an act of kind
ness to the Negro to force him into
any sort Of position that cannot but
make trouble for him"
He needs no forcing. 1t is the fore
ing him out Of it that is causing the
trouble. And again: j.
Most of the trouble that the Negro
has had since the war has been due to
the mistaken kindness of those who
would drag him into politics"
What about most of the trouble that
he had before the WARP There was no
politics in it then and yet his suffer-
ings were as great as that which he has
experienced since the wsr. Answer
that question, please, and note how
your argument will fall to pieces sole
ly by its own lack of weight. The
TIMES says:
1--WE are sure that the Negro would
have gotten along much better and
that the prejudice against him would
not be so great, if there had never been
Negro office holder"
That's matter of your opinion. 1t
has nothing to back it. If it be true
and-is a guide to success, why is it that
white men do not give up the attempt
to secure an Office when they see that
some other fellow wants it? Do not
they know that they could get along
much better without the prejudice of
the friends Of the other fellow against
them7
And again:
s'We are almost sure that it had been
much better for him, If he had never
been invested with the right Of fan
chise."
In other words, it would have been
better for the colored people. had they
remained in slavery, for taxation With
out representation is species OF slav-
cry. and the right to vote carries with
it the right to be represented.
But, let the T1MRs cease this species
Of immoral argument. 1t is contrary
co reason and ethics. It is absurd and
only serves TO disgust all classes. white
and colored. You virtually say that

THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow and grad ual, and, as
rule, unaccompaDied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
system of all poisonous material, and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects.
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains,
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfectly performed, and the or
gaHs become clogged by the waste
matters which are-thus retained in the
system. That is why you are SO weak,
tired and lanquid, wake tired morn
ings, and lack your usual strength, en-
ergy and vim in the spring. That is
why you have weakness and pain in the
side or back, high-colored urine. with
sediments, headache, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth, thirst, bilious
ness, constipation, cold feet, poor cir
culation, extreme nervousness and
Frustrated feelings.

YIELDS GRACEFULLY TO THE IN,
RVITABLE.

TIE Richmond, Va. DISPATCH in it's
issue ofJune 18th, under the caption
Of "Our Colored Troops" says:
1T is settled that the two Virginia
battalions of colored troops, having
been recruited up to the required num-
bers, will be turned over to the United
States Government, as at present or
ganized.
The Dispatch is unchanged in lis
very pronounced opinion that neither
the laws of the land nor sound public
policy required that they should be al
lowed to have officers of their own
race. Had the decision been with US
we would have given them the option
of serving under white officers or stay
ing at home. But the responsibility
devclved not upon us, buS upon the
hOnored Executive of this State, and
his conclusions are different from
ours."
Well WenlI Welllll This is in

PATCH well says:
His view of the case is that the COL
ored companies being organized under
the same laws as the white companies
hnu tnelE Objects having passed al eX
aminstions creditably, they are entit-
led to the same privilege accorded to
the white companies that of having
officers Of their own selection"
His view of the case is the law. And
again:
Governor Tyler, after earnest
thought over this question, is thor
oughlT convinced that TO pursue any
other course than the one he has mark
ed out for himself would be violation
of his oath OF Office, wherein he is
pledged to make no discrimination on
account Of race or color"
The DIsPATcH compliments our Chief
Executive in the following language:
eve readily accord TO him sincerity
OF motive and conscientious desire to
do his duty as he understands it. And
we may add that this is a case where
no one can suspect him of bending his
opinion to gain popularity. We believe
HIM to be controlled solely by his sense
OF duty"
