turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.

This excellent paper prints an article
which appeared in our local columns
during our absence, written by the To-
cal editor, in regard to Mr.. Divers
case, and which created some dissat-
isfaction among our colorcd friends, ow-
ing to the misappreheasion of the real

article is warm friend of the colored peo-
pie, and ON the following day explained, we
believe, to the satisfaction Of all, his true
position, which does not differ with the Era
upon the main question at all.


Our paper has at all times contended for
the equal rights of all men before the law
and for the enforcement of those rights by
the federal courts. 1t seems, however, that
owing to some defect of our laws (Which we

dence IN the administration is well deserved.
Inc administration of General Grant in all
It's branches has been firm, honest, pru-
dent, and economical, protecting the inter-
ests OF the government and maintaining the
rights OF the citizen. All its acts have
been conducive to the welfare of the coun-
try. while some of them will rank among
the highest in our history. The rapid paw
nient of the national debt, coincident with
the great reduction in taxation. is unex-
celled as a financial achievement. and the
treaty with England, while giving us hon
oraple redress Tor our injuries, and thus
avertlng the. probabilities of war, COM
mands the admiration of the world as one
OF the great mile-stones in the path of
civilization.


Last, but not least, the unAinching sup-
port given to the loyal men of the South.
who are there fighting the battles of the
Union, has gained for the great soldier a
strong hold upon the affections of the

dence as man, but is entitled to our sup
port as the representative of the principles
OF our party. The honesty and economy
shown by the National government bear a
striking contrast to the corrupt administra-
ton OF the finances of New York, but the
zeal and harmony which you exhibit in en-
deayorlng to rescue your city from the
clutches of the mprincpled demagogues
who now control it give fattering prospects
OF success. In your able efforts / can as
sure you of the warm sympathy of the
President. President Grant has no private
revenge to crafty, no personal enemies
to punish but regards every true Republi-
can MS his friend. In all his appointments,
even if some of you may think he has been
mistaken, he has sought to promote the
welfare of the Republican party, subordi-
nate of course to the higher object, the good
of the public service. No action Of his will
ever Intentionally interfere with the har-
mony which should, and think does, exist
among you. Select, therefore, true and
tried Republicans to represent you in the
coming canvass, and above all let them be
men whose characters are above suspicion.
Remember that no one can be true Re-
publican unless he is an honest man.

COMMUNICATED.
TO The Editor eftl,e stete Journal


You and do not agree in politics, but
am constrained to acknowledge you have
shown more federation for the opinions of
opponents, and more fairness than the edi-
tors of the Conservative party. Take for
instance, the funding bill. | for one prefer
giving up Walker to going for that bill.
Walker and his friends may gamble in the
State bonds and grow rich, and talk about
State credit-State credit forsooth. What
credit should State have which has re-
pudiated part of its obligations ? am a
native of Virginia, and once made it mat
ter of boast, but when she repudiated her
State treasury notes, because it was to her
interest to do so, she will doubtless repudi-
ate the remainder, whenever it is to her in
terest to do.


1t is all moonshine to talk of State credit,
and the advocates of the funding bill know
it as well as you or |. 1t serves their pur-
poses to deceive the people, and they do
not hesitate to pirate about the credit Of this
noble old Commonwealth. They care not
one cent about State credit any further than
it serves their purposes.


| hope you will continue to expose the
hypocracy of these pretended friends OF
State credit.


| read your paper, and although do not
endorse all you wlite, am free to confess
that you have shown degree of candor
and fairness not equalled by either of the
Conservative papers published in this city.

Mise Daniels Come to Judgment Yes
terday afternoon, as we entered one OF the
city cars, we overheard several gentlemen
engaged in conversing about case recently
tried here. They all agreed jury had no
right to pronounce a man guilty and then
ask Executive clemency, and that Governor
Walker had declared his opposition to this
mode of shifting responsibility upon him.
For the benefit of persons of such opinions
we state, that jurors are sworn to render a
verdict in accordance with the ''law and
evidence"


Cases arise every day of violation Of
ldo, which make it obligatory upon juries
to find parties guilty, and yet they are in
nocent in the eyes of the community. Let
lis furnish an example. But for public
sentiment the man who kills the seducer Of
his wife or daughter, would be adjudged
guilty of murder, and, if jurors did their
sworn duty under the lao, every such man
would be pronounced murderer. If a
Jury convicted man under such circum-
stances, would they not have the right and
would they not act right, to, at the same
time, recommend the party for mercy?


The loic, in its infexible sternness, re-
quires men at times to convict, who would
gladly be relieved of its responsibilities.
Under such circumstances, they are justi-
fled in asking executive interference. No
nobler action is performed by man than to
do his duty while regretting the necessity
which forced it upon him,

Thus far I have had my contest here single handed-no other representa- tive from the Pacific being in the city In my state of health, and with my imperfect sight, I am i'll fitted for ex- ertion or excitement, but have felt it my bounden duty to act promptly and thoroughly for my misrepresented and suffering constituents, and I have left no stone unturned on their behalf. From the interest manifested in Cali fornia, l shall expect efficient aid from the delegation from that State when Congress meets, and the controversy over the proceedings of MT. Colyer may, I think, be turned to good ac- count by calling especial attention to the Apaches and the condition of af- fairs along the southwestern border.

 As 1 yet have to do my writing by amanuensis, my correspondents in the Territory will not expect to hear from me as frequently as in times past, but they may rest assured that their letters are appreciated and their suggestions all carefully considered. ..

 You will be pleased to notice that the press Is already taking the back track, and that with little effort on my part, for, as I wrote you sometime since, have not felt 1t my duty to at tempt to contradict everything said Ill the newspapers. The killing of the young Boston author, MT. Loring, has aroused widespread feeling among thoughtful people that the Indians of Arizona are not as they have been de- scribed by those who have allowed their philanthropy to Outrun their judgment and sense of justice. The Star and Chronicle of this city have within a few days spoken of MT. Col yer's reports as quite too sanguine, and the latter paper says he has studied Fennimore Cooper too intently. l am satisfied that the reaction will be swift and strong as the telegraph and mail continue to bring, as they doubtless will, accounts of fresh robberies and murders in all parts of the Territory Yours truly R c M"TOR,"CT-

DR.. HEBBARD's LECTURE last evening on
Food and Drink, was delivered to very large
and deeply interested audience; and every per-
son at the close, we doubt not felt amply
recompensed for the time and money he had
expended. The lecture was not only instruct
i've but entertaining all the way through, and
at times so amusing as to draw out loud ex-
pressions of applause from the audience. His
expositions of the difference between bread
made in the usual way OF fine boled flour and
that made of un!olted -four in the was de.
scrbed was very clear, and new, of course, to
most of those who heard them II bis direc-
tions in regard to this one article alone were
adopted and adhered to, the result would be
not only an increase of the general health, but
decrease in the cost of living. His lessons to
sickly, enervated young women, and thought
less, reckless young men, were worth far more
than the price of admission. On the prevail
ing custom of eating pork, the DR.. was very
severe; and on the use of tobacco he was hard
ly able to find words adequate to depict the
evils it infiicts upon the human system. This
evening the DR.. lectures to ladies only.


We are glad to learn that the DR.. has decided
to give second course of lectures here, the ad-
vertisement of which will appear in our next
issue with full particulars.
