The election news from Mississippi
is most cheerful, especially when we
consider that the registered negro ma
iority in the State is fifteen thousand.
Much sooner than we expected, the
colored people of the South are found
voting with their old friends, the vir-
tuous and intelligent citizens OF the
State, and refusing to follow the lead
of the trifing adventurers who have
left their homes in the North in order
to impose upon the ignorance and
credulitv of the Southern blacks. In
the first elections held under the Re
construction Acts, few or no negro
voters were with the old citizens, but
in every subsequent election they have
more and more torn themselves away
from their disreputable leaders and
oath bound leagues. The marked man.
Hesitation of a growing sympathy with
the Southern whites which was seen
in the last elections in Georgia and
South Carolina, has eliminated IN Mis-


sissippi to an open and thorough coali


ton. The negroes of that State have
spit upon the miserable creatures who


have calculated to crawl into places


of honor and profit through thei

must feel fairly insulted when the Radicals
go to them for their votes this fall. Just on
the eve Of the adjournment OF Congress, Mr.
Schenck made sudden attempt to fix duty
on imported copper and copper ore, Tor which
the Maine members voted, but which was
finally defeated by parliamentary strategy,
the Democrats going against the measure in
body. Had the bill been passed. it would
have dealt another blow at the declining ship
ping interests OF our sister State, which its
representatives certainly might be expected
to try to avert. When these Radical men-
bers of Congress appear before their consti-
tuents this fail for a continuance of favor
and support, let them be promptly required
to explain their votes in this matter which is
OF primary Importance to the people OF Maine.
Whether they are interested in any of the
current copper stock speculations or not, we
DO not presume to say; but their action has
very bad look, and must be interpreted to
mean closer care for themselves and their
party IN Washington than tor the prosperity
OF their State. Let every Rsdicai member
OF Congress from Maine be put upon the
stand on this subject.


l. ue answer we naue UO luis was Lnat only
two of our Representatives were present
when the bill came up and that both OF them
-Messrs. Perham and Peters-voled against
1t. Mr.. Lynch had obtained leave of alb
sence on account of sickness in his family,
but would have voted with Perham and Pc
tiers had he been present. Blaine and Pike
were also absent, but their views on this sub
ject are too well known to leave their consti-
tuents in any doubt as to their opinions.
1t will be seen from this that if ever false
hood was set afoat with absolutely no ioun-
dation, this is one. 1t is as pure a specimen
of lying as can be imagined. Yet the Argus
has issued three papers without correcting it.
The only conclusion we can come to is that
it is deliberate anG wilful fasehood. By
taking this course our neighbor saves us the
space that we have hitherto occupied in iak-
ing up its lies seriatim and reluting them.
Let the reputation of man or journal
once be established as a habitual liar and no
one is thereafter called upon to follow up and
retute their false statements, for nobody be.

As the heated term continues, we
reproduce the following directions OF
treatment of sunstrOke, contributed
TO the New York Ledger, by an emf
nent physician: 1.-The first of these
suggestions is to the effect that in
every instance where person is found
falnting in the street on a hot day, the
first thing is to remove the person to
Us cool and shady place as can be
found, and, il possible, to where a
draughJ OF air is blowing at the time.
1t should also be understood there are
TWO morbid conditions resulting from
excessive heat. These differ somewhat
IN their symptoms, and require some
what different treatment The first
OF these occurs during hot weather
after undue eXertiOn on the part OF the
person affected. The man is faint,
perhaps unable TO move, though he
can generally be reused, he has a
FAINT pulse and a cool skin. Here
there Is SIMPLY loss OF nervous power
and relief Is promptly afforded Dy re-
moving TO cool, snady place, apply
ing cold water or ice water 10 the head
and administering iced brandy and
water, iced wine and water, or other
stimulants. In the other and more
TaJal form of this affection a different
set OF symptoms show themselves
Here the patient suddenly falls TO the
ground, completely unconscious, his
skin Is pungently hot and dry, his
breathing hurried, cOnvulsiOn are not
uncommon. and, If proper treatment
be not promptly TesOrted to, death
soon takes place. In this case, also,
the patient should be promptly remOv-
ed 10 shady and cool spot, perfectly
quiet, so that the crowd may be kept
OF without fail. His clothing should
Oe STRIPPED on and his whole body
rubbed from head 10 foot, pieces Of Ice
being kept under the arm-piEs- This
should be steadily perservered III until
the patient is restored, or until a
doctor arrives, or until it is plain that
the case is beyond recovery.

HENRY WARD BEECHER.


Boston. July s. 1865
Year: 1868

From the NelV York Tribune.


The letter Of Governor Yates OF
IllnOls, contra iieting the assertion
that the eOlOnelcy of a regiment OF
a regiment of volunteers which he
atesl conferred on the Galena tanner
was ever sought by the latter, invites
attention tOaphase of General Grants
which Is quite unlike that of some
other eftlcers of our late war.


From the beinning to the end of
that struggle, Ulysses S. Grant rose
through every grade known to our
service A poor, obscure, friendless
private citizen, he volunteered at the
outset, and was chosen Captain Of a
company. He was soon made Adult
ant; then Colonel then Brigadier-
General then 1IajOr-GeneTal; then
Northumberland; finally General
ln-Chief. Yet nobody ever heard of
his asking for a better post. In every
case he took the position wherein he
was wanted-nO one ever heard of his
wanting a better one than he already
had. Friend. come up higher. was
the mandate addressed to this lOWly
servant of the Republie-nOt that he
wanted promotion, but that The eOUn-
try sOrely needed the right man in the
right place.


Again: we had officers perpetuaIly
quarreling, grumbling. fretting, in
view or their treatment by their sup
eriOrs- They were not promoted so
fast as they deserved to be-Or they
were not put in command of divisions
or corps that tshOuld have been cOnfided
tO them One General assumed tO
lecture the President on the civil pO-
litical policy that should govern the
conduct of the war; on another Occa-
sion, he complained TO Washington
that part of his men ''brOke discred-
itably.n General Bragg, when utter
ly routed by Grant at Mission Ridge,
complained that his men ran and left
their cannon to be captured, when
they should have fought and saved
them. Several prOfessed a willingness
to fight if the war were conducted in
accordance with their notions; +; if not,
they wouldn't. Grant, on the other
hand, never complained of i'll usage
by the government or bad behavior
on the pa of his men-always seems
to be satisfied with both and, if ever
dissatisfied, is silent. He favored no
"pOlicy" but the crushing out of the
rebellion. He had no conception of
duty that led him TO regard the Fed
eral executive with distrust or disfavOT.
In short, Grant quietly received his
orders, and, TO the extent Ofhis ability,
executed them. Il viii be the fault of
the people if this species Of geneFalship
is not more common hereafter.
