SENATOR MtOWN'H LETTER.
From, the K. '. World.
TL Dent imbroglio grows in interest. Its
Intent development Ik n very remarkable
letter addressed to Judge Dent by A. G.
Jlrown. fornierlv United States Senator from
Mississippi, and collonguo in 1W1 with Mr.
Davis, and afterwards a Senator from his State
in the Confederacy. Next to certain develop,
nients as to the operation of tho radical pro
gramme in Mississippi, tho most remarkable
thing in this letter is tho exactness with whic'.t
it supplements and corroborates that view of
tho Southern situation taken Rome months
since in the World's special correspondence
from that country. According to Mr. Drown,
irincteen-twentietha of tho white population of
Mississippi, which may bo taken to comprise
all the genuine citizens of the State, are of
one way of thinking, and "the negroos will
take sides as they are led either way," with
tho chance in favor of tho citizens of Missis
sippi that "brains and education will tell
alter awhile on tho most stolid of minds,
even on the obtuse intellect of tho negro."
With nineteen-twentieths of the white people
a solid unit, and with a powerful leading in
fluence exerted by them over tho blacks, Mr.
15. declares that, while tho lateness of the
day ordered by Mr. Grant for tho election
JKtth November is a source of regret in Mis
sissippi, it is not to bo regretted upon
political grounds; that tho citizons will carry
the day, "no odds when tho election is
held." The lateness of tho date is regretted
because, as tho cotton picking begins about
the first of September and ends about tho
last of November, just that very period when
labor is most sharply in demand will be the
period of a high political excitement that,
with the negro's known impressibility, will
greatly lessen the value of his services in the
field. The reason of selecting those two
months of September and October for the
canvass, in such flagrant disregard of tho
economic wants of Mississippi, is stated to be
that Grant feared tho election, if ordered be
fore October, would, in caso of its going ad
versely to the radical ticket, have a bad effect
on the party in the October elections of Penn
sylvania and Ohio.
With this expose, first, of the strength and
unity of the citizens of Mississippi, and,
second, of the shameful manner in which tho
two most important industrial months of tho
year are, for tho benefit of radicalism, as
signed over to all the distracting hurly-burly
of a heated canvass, Mr. Brown proceeds to
touch upon a third matter, which, as it rises
in importance above any mere issuo of this
pending election, is worthy of special note,
lie says:
"To me and many old men like myself It makes
very little (inference, politically or personally, wlmt
course things may take. There Is hardly anything in
the chapter of accidents that can (five us uguln any
active participation in the affair of government ; hut
we want peace permanent, latum)? peace. Wo
would not, therefore, leave to our sous the Inherit
ance of avenging any wrongs that may be Inflicted
on us. The old must soon die oir and tho young
ones take their places. I want to leave my son, and
bo does every other right-tliluking man, no wrongs
of mine to be set right alter I am gone. At most, it
cannot be long before these boys now growing up
will get possession of the State (iovermui'iit. It be
longs to the men of this generation to decide how
they shall manage it. That they may avenge gra
tuitous Insults heuped on their fat hers is not without
the range of human probabilities. Such things have
happened."
There is something in this that ought not
to be passed by as tho mere raving of an em
bittered and broken-down old man. It is too
consonant to the known course of human
nature and too amply verified in that corres
pondence, generally of such approved accu
racy, that the World has at each phase of the
Southern question presented its readers.
Coupling this intonation of a deep-seated
sentiment of injury with the prior declara
tion in this letter of an extreme degree of
unity and strength among the citizons of
Mississippi, it is easy to see how true it is
that some day ere long the State must come
into the hands of its young men, and
easy, too, to perceive that, if those young
men participate in the sentiment of thoir
fathers, there is trouble ahead. This general
reflection is one that again and again the
World has sought to impress upon the couu-
try that the evil of Congressional recon
struction was less in its present tangible re
sults than in that obdurate and implacable
animosity which it was bringing into life. If
negroes as Lieutenant-Governors, and Secre
taries of State, and legislators, and sheriffs,
and State functionaries gonerally; if high
taxes, and carpet-bag dominance, and harsh
laws, and black militias, were alone tho re
sults, those, in an election or two, would dis
appear before the superiority of the white
race; but, when it comes to the training up
of a whole generation much more nume
rous than the generation of Manassas and
Gettysburg in the fixed belief of revenge
being a sacred filial duty, there is something
terrible in this far-reaching result of a ras
cality that, bad as it is, was only meant to
subserve certain party ends by sharp and
cruel means.
Senator Brown gives some glimpse into tbis
possibility; and, to those who are anxiously
peering out into the general future, this will,
no doubt, be the most interesting portion of
his letter. As to immediate political matters,
we may recapitulate by saying, first, that, as
it appears from this letter, the partisan
timing of the Mississippi election by Grant
must cost the State very heavily in tho article
of unpicked cotton unpicked because the
negro will be torn almost bodily asunder in
the fierce canvass throughout the rriekinu sea
son for his casting vote; second, that tho
citizens of Mississippi aro united and deter
mined, and mean to carry the election unless
the actual bayonet blocks tho came: third
that Ames, the military commandant, is des
perately ' intrigui ng for one of the United
States Senatorships; and, fourth, that the radi
cid party in Mississippi is contemptible and
in death throes.
THE LABOR CONGRESS.
From'tfieK Y. Tribune.
The hint day's work of tho Labor Congress
was bo thorough and elleotive that it deepens
our regret that so largo a Hliare ot its session
was dovoted to Mum Suhuu li. Anthony. We
do not decide between her claim to a seut and
the ultimate resolve of the Congress that she
had no right to one; but we do heartily trust
that, in case sho shall appear at Cincinnati
next August, sho may there absorb consider
ftblv less than half a week's deliberations.
We do not concur in all the opinions put
forth bv the Con cross; and yet we feel thitt a
representative bodv has seldom met which
more f ullv commended itself to publio con
federation and resnect. Its treatment of
colored delegates precisely like any othor was,
if you please, simply an exhibition of common.
Bensei but then bo; many imposincr political
and ecclesiastical bodieH have evinoed an utter
lack, not only of common sense but of coin
moil humanity as well, that this is no light
matter. Abu the colored delegates nobly
justified Ihe judgment of the Oongross by I
provitiR themselves wise counsellors as wol
'oil '
faithful and deferential associates. The Con
gress strengthened the interest represented by
it in treating labor as labor, regardless of the
color of those who perform it.
So with regard to woman. That it is not
merely juHt but benoficent that womnn should
be welcomed and encouraged to do whitover
sho can do well, may seem a threadbare
truth; yet it is hardly ten years since tho
writer hereof was hissed while arguing, before
a gathering of printers, that women should bj
welcomed to participate in type-sotting
wherever they should eviuco desire n'-id
capacity to do so. This congress took reason
able care not to be too far in advance of
public sentiment; wherefore wo hail its over
turning of tho barriers imposed by sex and
color as proving not merely its own recogni
tion of tho rights of humanity, but decided
progress toward ideal justice in the average
opinion at least of our countrymen.
Tho best word of their gathering was that
so emphatically spoken in favor of co-operation.
We fully agree in the averment of its
appropriate committee, unanimously adopted
by the Congress, that "Of all the plans do
vised for tho amelioration of tho condition of
the working classes, none has proved effective
to solve tho problem of human happiness to
so great an extent as that of co-operation."
This is in truth the Malakoff of the whole
Eosition. When the working class shall have
ecome the employer of its own labor, buying
by wholesale whatever of stock or materials
it does not produco and selling (for cash only)
directly to consumers that is, in tho main,
to its own members questions of hours of
labor, wages, etc. etc., will have sunk into
their proper insignificance. Tho true and
only way to secure to labor tho full
recompense of its eftorts lies through
self-employment that is, co-operation.
And this is no impracticable theory. More
than half the labor of our country, so far as
it now renders a service for wages, might
employ itself within a year from this date if
it only would. It has money enough on de
posit in savin as banks and elsewhere to set at
to
enst one million of its members at work on or
before tho first of January next; and it might
save, by one years' abstinence from alcoholic
and narcotic poisons, enough to set an equal
number in addition at work as co-operators
witlnn tlie ensuing year. Ihe change should
begin with tailors, shoemakers, and othor
trades, wherein 100 per man (or woman)
would serve as a working capital for each
company of one thousand persons or over,
and should go on till every laborer who choso
to become a co-operator shall have boon
made welcome to that industrial partner
ship in winch he shall be best fatted for use
fulness, lho laboring class may speedily
employ ana direct its own labor, receiving'
all the profits accruing therefrom, if it only
will. If it chooses the xtatux nndjrecompense
ot Hirelings, its right to that choice is equally
clear.
We think tho Congress evinced good sense
in steering as clear as may be of questions
which have become the subjects of partisan
contention and disregarding all appeals, to
form a new political party. If it should ever
become necessary for labor to form a party
of its own, that necessity must be, not courted,
but forced upon it and accepted as a necessity.
We judge that no such necessity has yet been
demonstrated.
THE TWO PARTIES.
From the PottnriUe Mincrx' Journal.
The Democratic party is struggling to nvert
its impending doom with the desperation
which impels parties as well as human beings
to cling to life. That party when it started
upon its career had the sympathy and co-ope
ration of not only the toiling masses, but of
tho most prominent intellects of the country.
This was effected by its advocacy of a popular
form of government, frequent elections, hbe
rnl terms of naturalization, and loud profes
sions oi attaenmont to tne isationai union.
To nil of these principles it has proved faith
less, except, perhaps, to that of liberality to
the foreign-born pojiulation, which has always
formed tho bulk of its support. Were the
futhers of the old Democratic party alive to
day, and actuated by tho principles of its
early years, they would bo found adhering to
the Republican now the only true democratic
party of the country. Had the spirit and
boldness of the Republican party, in opposing
national evils, existed in the old Whig party,
tlie latter, m all probability, would have done
the work of tho former, and thus saved the
eB'usion of blood caused by a rebellion origi
nated ana sustained by tlie Democracy.
lint inducement any ooou citizen can
have for remaining allied to the modern
Democratic party passeth understandiucr.
certainly not any principle worthy or respect,
l'hnt party has been a traitor to tho Union
and to the rights of humanity; it has com
nutted unpardonable sms. In Indiana and
Kentucky it recommends itself to the support
ot tne negro-nuting element by opposing the
mteeutn amendment; m lrginia and Ten
nessee it supports tho amendment, invites
negro orators to its platforms, and elects
tliem to Congress and the btate Legislature
In the North it asks support because it hates
tho negro; in tho South it asks votes because
it loves the negro and promises to be his best
mend and protector. In this State it noiui
nates a millionaire, destitute of any powers
oi statesmanship, because he can give his
check lor a cool hundreil thousand to help in
tho canvass. In Ohio it nominated a fighting
general who subsequently saved his reputa-
won oy declining wno nateu and denounced
with great bitterness all such men as figure at
the head of tho party in this State. In tho
West it is fierce for taxing bonds, aud more
than hints at repudiation of both nrin-innl
and interest of tho public debt. In tho East
it is in tho special charge of brokers, stock
gamblers, and bondholders. Can any citizen
ucuiuieu uy principle vote with a party thus
destitute of any moral principle?
The only hope the Democracy have of suc
cess is uy dividing tho Republicau partv on
minor points. In Philadelphia some unr.
chasuble material, wo fear, of the temperance
organizotion, has been induced to nominate
a local ticket, all in tho interest of the bitter
est enemies ot the temperance cause. K..u.
the Republican party must not allow its army
io ue (usuauieu, nor a siucrle man nniuiowi
out of its ranks, until tho destruction of Hia
foe is complete. We think with our cotempo
rary, the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, that when the
Union is out of danger; when every man's
civil and personal rights are secure and un
questioned in evory State of tho Union; when
the work of reconstruction is honorably com
jilete; when tho golden spike is firmly driven
in the last rail of tho great highway of human
rights, that tho car of progress may move on
ward forever in tho land, will be soon enough
to allow any of our forces to be scattered, .
The Republican party is yet young; it has
not lived long, but it has lived well; it has
done a gigantic and glorious work; it has
rescued a nation from weakness and oblitera
tion; it has put out the tires which traitors
kindled to destroy the fair temple of freedom.
It has given new life to the friends of free
government hi till tUo land of the earth.
Englnnd heodn tlio warning, and gives Ireland
a new concesmon in me int
interest of religious
freedom. Napoleon hastens to grant the
people a larger share in the government of the
empire. Spain cuts adrift its imperious, son-
Bual, and imbecile Bourbons, and straggling
Cuba earnestly demands her independence.
In every land of tho earth, the inttueuoo of
the Republican party of the United States is
acknowledged. Struggling humanity feels
that influence as a life-giving inspiration, and
tyrants and oppressors road witli terror tlie
warning written by its hand on the walls of
all their banqueting chambers. It incre.isos
justly every man's self respect to reflect tlrit
lie belongs to such a party: it will bo ono of
the consolations of a good man's death to look
back on his connection with a party having
its record: and a legacy of no mean value for
a man to leave his children tuat lie was a par
taker in its labors and warfare, aud was a
sharer in its triumphs for humanity.
GRANT'S DESPOTISM.
From the A. 1'. rime.
Tho Democracy must feel nuito disappoint
ed that l'rcsidcnt Grant has not taken any
step, thus far, in the way of establishing the
despotism which they declared, last year,
would be tho consequence of his election.
They felt certain at least so they said that
in case he were elected .President, ho would,
after attaining power, begin tho work of sub
verting our tree institutions, overthrowing
theaConstitution, and establishing a C;esarism
in which he should play the part of Dictator
or r.mperor. Ihey pretended to be very
much afraid ot these results; and Democratic
newspapers and stump orators attempted to
frighten the people with terrible pictures of
Grant s schemes and purposes.
W e suppose they are now beginning to get
over their apprehensions in regard to this
matter. Grant has in no way interfered
with the constitutional order of things. In
all its departments, the Government is car
ried on as usual. Not even tho sharpest
Democrat has discovered any plot, or any
sign of any conspiracy. The army is per
forming its usual duties in the various parts
of our vast territory, aud we hear of no mili
tary cabals or intrigues against the liberties
of the people. Wre should think everybody
must now feel quite assured that the Consti
tution is as safe as possible, and that never, in
our history, had we less prospect of the esta
blishment of a despotism.
HE ISN'T A CANDIDATE.
From the A". 1'. .Sua.
ihe canvass tor the next Iresidency is
going on with extraordinary vigor in all parts
ot the country; and one ot tho most interest
ing features of the agitation is the reply of
(Jhiet Justice tJhaso to the run which was
published in tho Herald of Saturday last. We
had told tho Chief Justice that in order to
enter the Presidential race with a reasonable
prospect of success, he must at once resign
tho olhce he now holds. The people of tho
United States, we informed him, do not like
to think that the occupant of so elevated and
so sacred a place as tho bench of the Supremo
Court is operating for the Presidency; and
they will never approve the nomination of a
candidate, no mutter bow great his moral and
personal jifts, if ho conies into tho arena with
the judge s gown still hanging about him. Let
Judge Chase resign now, aud his hopes of get
ting the Democratic nomination in 172, and
of being elected President, will be reasonable;
but if ho remains Chief Justice much longer
he cannot be President.
Now this is first-rate advice, and every sen
sible politician in the country will say so.
Rut the Chief Justice cannot make up his
mind to take it, and bouts about the bush in
stead of shooting the bird. In truth, it takes
as much courage to lay aside tho dignity and
grandeur which surround a Chief Justice as
it took for Cn'sar to cross the Rubicon; but
it is just as impossible for Judge Chase to be
come President without resigning as it would
have been for Ci'jsar to become master of
Rome without marching across that little
stream, isut ambition without courage is a
fruitless ambition. When in other davs
Ueneral trraut used to play draw poker, he
never feared to faco tho music, and ho almost
always won; but the man who dares not bet
his bottom dollar to win a hundred or a thou
sand, had better not try his luck at that great
American game. Just so, a Uhief Justice
who wants to be President, but hesitates to
risk tho Chief Justiceship on it, is likely to
remain Chief Justice until somebody else is
certain to be chosen President.
Judge Chase says, through tho article of
the Herald, that ho has written no letter as a
bid for the Presidency, "aud that he care
fully avoids entering into political matters or
controversies." Rut he is for a universal
amnesty to the Southern Rebels, so that '"the
wounds of tho war may bo healed." As the
first result of this measure would certainly
bo that the Democracy would carry all the
Southern States, this is very trood policy for
that party, and the Chief Justice proves him
self it shrewd political manager by advocating
it. But its successful adoption will not make
him President if he persists in remaining Chief
j u slice.
There is a good deal of smartness, how-
ever, in giving out that he is not a candidate.
i'hat is the next best thing to resigning, but
it is not enough. It is well for men like Mr.
Seward, Mr. Colfax, Mr. John Quincy Adams,
Mr. Pendleton, Mr. ilollmau, Governor
Alorton, benator huraner, or any other pro
fessed politician, to protest that they are not
candidates; and our advice to them is to stick
to it with all their might as long as they can.
But Judge Chase is not on the same plane
with them, and cannot be so long as ho holds
his seat on the bench of the Supreme Court.
That fact is an obstacle to his success; and if
he is as wise as he is ambitious and it is an
honorable ambition he will at once clear it
out of the wav. What is the use of his dawd
ling awav his time in the dull formalities of
a Court? His proper place is among the ao
tiv stntfiMnnn of tho country, and the sooner
be returns to it tho better.
