Rev. DR.. Tying has a tartness OF ex-


preston that challenges attention,


and this is especially the case when


he ventures on any subject remotely
touching the ROmanistic tendencies


of the High Church people. He made


a speech in New York, the other night
| to n Protestant Association, from


which we have room for this rather
! pointed extract:


''HerodOtus. the greatest historian


of Greece, in giving an accounts of his

Two weeks ago a female, who has
been for the last few years engaged in
selling her photographs on the cars,
and who has for that length Of time
been considered deaf and dumb, came
to this city and stopped at the Drull-
ard House. She made known all her
wants by writing, and no doubts were
entertained by those connected with
the hotel but that she was really
minus the powers of speaking and
hearing. On the Sunday following
her arrival at that hotel, one Frank
Shaffer, who has been acting porter to
the Drullard House, accompanied her
to the Vale Cemetery. 1t was very
kind in Shaffer to take poor deaf
and dumb female under his protecting
wing and endeavor to make her time
pass agreeably. Subsequent facts go
to prove, however, that while the
couple fingered meath the shades of
that beautiful locality, they werenotas
silent as the silent tomb. Thursday
last shewent down street, IN company
with little girl, to purchase some
goods. On her way she either inten-
tiOnally or otherwise spoke to the
little girl VINO was muCQ dlarIneu 10
hear her do so. She quieted the little
ones fears, and assured her that she
had never. been lacking the gift of
speech. But here comes the best of
the story. The woman and the porter
left yesterday morning on the ten
o'clock train west. They were mar
ried before they went, and intended to
go to Michigan, buy a farm and settle
down upon it. Before they left she
handed her newly made protector a
large some of money, and seemed to
have plenty besides. The woman's
name was Emeline Sheppard-now
Emeline Shaffer. Her appearance
was proposing, and her manners easy
and graceful, and well calculated to
work upon strangers pocketbOok.-
When charged with being an impos-
tor, she pleasantly said she had never
asked anybody to give her anything
that she had merely presented herself
and made signs, and if such actions
had put money in her pockets, why;
she wasn'to be blamed.

PARTIEsAND Factions. Men idly

1t is a great mistake. Through the

The New York Union League
has started an organ called the
ImpaiaIist, that will advocate an
Imperial Government and the
downfall of the Republic. This ls
only carrying out the principles of
the Radical party which the peo-
pie have been supporting for the
past eight years. Here is the In
pertaliSt doctrine as taken from its
published Prospectus;


"For the first time in the history
of tho United States, an American
journal dares to proclaim as false
and pernicious in their influence
the Democratic dogmas of "Popu-
lar Sovereignty" and Equality, "
and to demand that on the ruins of
this unfortunate Republic shall be
reared the firm and substantial
structure of an EMPIRE.

pare the mind of the American peo-
pie for the revolution that has al

repudiation Of the National debt,

awe believe that an Imperial
Government, in its paternal rela-
ton to the people, will care equal

anteeing security to the rights of
capital, will jealously protect the
interests of the industrial classes.


"We believe that the Republic
means lawlessn ess, corruption, inse-
curity to person and property, rob-
berry of the public creditors, and
civil war; that the EMPIRE means
law, order, security, public faith
and peace"


The above is the undisguised doc
trine of Radicalism. An editor in
the South who dares write against
being disfranchised and ruled by
bayonets is arrested and thrown in :
to the dungeon of a fort, but in
New York City, the leading Radi-

smells strong:


"He said the white man had the
negro down for two hundred years
but that now the negro was on top
They had in their hands the chains
and manacles with which the white
man had kept the negro bound for
90 long, and they intended to put
them on the white man, and to
make him groan, and sweat, and
work, before they were done with
him. He said General Grant knew W
something about tanning, and
would help them to tan the white
man until his skin was As black and
tough as theirs"


The HiatoR Record wrote many
things in that style in the fall OF
1867, when the Niger Amendment
was before the people of Ohio, 1t
stated about two months before the
election that in about sixty days it
would be decided that a Democrat
would be as good as negro. Now
this Niger LINDsAY says GRANT
knows something about tanning
and will help the niger tan the
white man until his skin is as tough
as theirs. This goddess piece Of
machinery called the government
Ia at work putting the negro ION
top" in one half of the original
States Of the Union, and is literally
making "the white man groan and
sweat" beneath the horrid weight
Of negro rule. While Cuffee sees
the government doing such things
why should he not carry ON after
this fashionf He would not be a
negro if he did not. But how long
will the white mans wrath slumber
under this load of ignominy2 1t
is not possible that it should sleep
forever. A day of reaction, if not
OF revenge, 10 sure to come, sooner
or later. Give the negro a little
more time to ventilate his threat to
put "chains and manaces' on the
white men Of America, and he will
awake storm which will not sub
side until he is covered forty faith
oms deep beneath the ruins of this
grand negro temple. 1t is sure to
be pulled down. Nor will it stand
any longer for the degenerate white
men who have taken shelter in it.
Such whitc men as the editor of the
Record who make common cause
with negroes deserve to share the
fate ofnegroes, and will.
