OL’Il .NKUItO MISISTBII TO HAITI.
The Appointment of Basset, a Phila
delphia negro, as Minister and Consul
General to liayii. is a deliberate insult
to Pennsylvania—an insult whicha
should he and will he resented, if our
people arc not lost to all sense of shame
and honor. -According to our Constitu
tion, Basset is neither a voter or a
citizen. How then can this negro rep
resent us at a foreign court, when he
has no franchise, no citizenship when
at home? This is a question which per
haps, President Grant never thought of, .
but vet, in our humble opinion, it is a
question. We consider it clear
that cilizci.s cannot be represented by
# ono who is not a citizen.
We notice that Grant has been np
pointing quite a number of negroes to
otlice, hut with the exccptldnof Basskt.
they have been selected from Southern
States, and are voter-, ami cilia ns.
However much we may depneate the
appointing of negroe- to otlice, we are
yet willing to i.ccord thi* right to the
Presidi nt where the negro has the fran
chise. notwithstanding tins privilege
ha.-been conferred upon him by bayonet
argument. But to appoint a disfran
chi-ed negro, adds insult to the a* t,
and is about as base a transaction as
was ever h-ard of. Are there not wid e
men' enough in the country to fill its
olliecs? rarely a nation of white men
should he repre.-ented at all foreign
courts hy while men. Thin has been
the opinion of all former Presidents, us
' well as all docent men.
A few mon-ths since a turbulent and
rowdv negro named llixrnr.ECK, made
a violent and di-joinled hatangue to
the negroes of New Orleans, in which
he threa;em-d to lay Die city in ashes
and to assassinate every while man who
refused to acknowledge negro equality,
l ie demanded that the churches, schools,
hotels, cars, theatres, and all places of
amusement he thrown wide open to
negroes; and if thisdemand was refused,
then he wanted the torch applied to
every house in the city! His speech
had a wonderful effect upon the negroes,
ami-o great was the excitement, that
the military had to be culled out ami
the police force doubled to k« ep the
black? in order. This harangue by the
rowdy negro HiNCIIUECK, cost the peo
ple of New Orleans two or three thou
sand do) la rs. Well, what ol llincti
eixk? Nothing, except that Grant,
our verdant President, has ap
pointed him Register of the Land
Office at New Orleans’. He has been
confirmed by the Senate, and is now en
f.ving ijif-, $12,0(10 ofliee. Tills IJINCii

are of a different mind.
Such is the Lanen-ler /ntcllif/cnce/'s
view, and we concur in it.
Whenever the Radicals have com
plete control of State Legislatures cor
ruption and rascality are tlie order ol
rhe day. The Republican Governor of
Illinois lias been compelled to veto
more than forty bills, which wee so
oiilrageous as to oail for his inteiference.
Gov. Hodman, of New York, has nDo
vetoed quite a number of imp-oper en
actments. If Geary had done ids duty
the forthcoming volume of pamphlet

It is with pleasure we record the fact
that m arly every Republican paper in
the State has been outspoken in con
demnation of the late infamous Legis
lature. This is a good symptom, and
is evidence that the pioss at !ea*t ha*
not been tampered with or corrupted"
hy the various “ rings' 1 that had been
formed to procure class-U glslatlon. The

Again the Inquirer says:
V Over all of the community there rest

We might fill our paper with similar
extracts from Republican journals, bin
this is not necessary. All agree thai
tlie late Legislature was corrupt to tin
core. And yet have we any ground.-
to hope that the I.egHature of IS7U will
he a whit more honest or more pure?
The probability is that the next Legis
lature will be about as corrupt as the
one just adjourned. For the last eight or
ten years this State baa been cursed by
pernicious legislation*. It was not
foimerly so, and why? Because tin*
people of both parties were more care
ful 1 in Iho selection of candidates for
the Senate and House of Represent
lives. They selected their best men
men of character and worth—whose
very appearance ami demeanor prevent
ed corrupt “ borers” from approaching
them. In those days had a member of
Assembly taken monos for voting for
a moasu|jp, lie would have been prompt
ly expelled and the mark of Cain put
upon him. Not so now, the member
who procures bis nomination by trickey
and bribery, and follow > it up by re
coving bribery money for ids vote-, is
considered “smart*’ by some men, ami
his infamous course finds plenty of en
dorsers and admirers. The friends of
morality in nur public servants are of
ten hooted at, derided and dubbed
“ fogey,” because of their efforts t"
root out these evils. 1 lie profes-im al

The Philadelphia papers, with one
voice, complain of the corrupt; attempts
of the members from that city, to fas
ten upon the people the most obnoxious
burthens. And now that the Legisla
tipi, lias adjourned, they exclaim
•‘thank God!” Why should th(*y
com] Jain ? By whoso agency were
tin-e members sent to Harrisburg?
Koi merly Philadelphia was represent* fl
by the very best of her citizens —by

Philadelphia, and of all the counties
in theSUite, resolve firmly that politi
cal gamblers shall not he elected to any
position, and we may hope for a return
to the high standard of excellence that
was possessed by onr public servants.
The people must take this matter in

of hrus.% against the cornintionist. Let
our State lie redeemed and disenthralled

Wo have said that Grant has appoint
ed more rascals to office than all his
predecessors combined. Many of the
men selected hy him for high positions
are notorious roughs and thieves.
Among hi* recent appointments-was
an officer ofthat '•ink ofinlqiiity and vil
lainy, ilu; so-railed “ Tiiion League” of
L-liimdclphla, Thu following letter—
published in the daily papers of Tues
day— speak? of Grant’s Consul thus:
rmnADHia'iiiA, April If) —There was
oonsuleruble excitement here in repuhli
■ •an circles 10-day hy ihu discovery of the
fact I hat a wealthy geniletnan, director
«d the Union League, and recently con
firmed a Ear pean consulate, had been
n'r a long lime engaged in robbing stores,
e:c. lie was detected yesterday s'eahng
a box ofcL-ars from a grocery store. He
■i.lndited his guilt and said he cmild not
resist temjdalioiwto steal, ami paid SoOU
down—the estimated value of goods taken
from said store. Shortly afterwards he
resigned from the League, and it is sup
posed he will never get to his consulate.
Ile obtained said appointment on the
recommendation of prominent politicians
. ere.
“Could not resist temptati m to steal.”
It is a singular fact that nearly all
prominent Radicals are atllicted in the
-aine way. They cannot “ resist temp
tation to steal,” and therefore they
steal on all occasions when opportunity
offers. Could thumb-screws he applied
to every rascal who robbed the Govern
ment during the Lincoln administra
tion, and a sharp turn uf the screw
give*' every few minute? until the suf
ferer disgorged the last cent stolen, we
would have money enough to pay off,
at once, two-thirds of our National
debt. Greely ha? said that at least
two-third*of mirdubt wasstolen money,
and Greely spoke % the truth. ‘‘Could
not resist temptation to s cal” brought
on toe war ; the thieves wore after the
people's treasure, and a “big wm- ’
coupled with loud profe-sion* of “my
ally,” afforded them a gloriole- o or
tunitv. 41 Could not *ro*i*t tempi dion
to steal,” prompted Butler u> ml. Mu
people of New Orleans of their gold
ami their *poon*. “ Could not n -i*i
temptation b> *te:il.” induced Mrs
Lincoln to strip the White llou*eofits
lace curtain?, furniture and fixture?
‘■Could not resist temptation to steal,”
made thousands ami tens of thousands
ot beggars rich in a few months—the
“martyr” Lincoln being one of them.
This “temptation” caused corrupt men
to forsake the Democratic ranks and to
espou-c the cause advocated by such
fanatical fools as Sumner and Fred
Douglass, the burly Boston negro. Aye,
a\e, the “temptation to steal” has
played the devil with our country, de
bauched the people, and placed over
them blockheads and corruptionists as
rulers.
Til K •• .SKCUStr nkkvice fund.
In a recent speech delivered by ex-
Presidenl John-on In Tennessee, he
berated the infamous Bmwnlow (the
bngu< F. S. Senator from that State,)
soundly. Among other things he said
he had presented Rrownlow. when he
( H. i was very poor, with sums of money
al different times, and that Brownlo v
had repaid him with tilde.
Urowlow in reply to Mr, Johnson,
puhii.-lic-i a card, in which lie con e-ses
to have meiven sl,non from Mr. John
-'on, but Ins-sM Unit tin* money belong
ed to il,e .o'r,'ct vi'rcirp f>m<l of the V. K
(invrrnwenf, and that Mr. Johnson, as
militaryJ'Jovornor for Tennessee, had
c mtrol of the money, with authority to
pay to him (Bmwnlow,) the sum
named !
Now, taking lor granted that Brown
low’s statement Is true, does it not go
to prove that the Lincoln administra
tion was corrupt to the core, and that
the people’s money was used forthe pur
pose of buying up.just.such venal wretch
es as I rowlow, of Tennessee? Dining
the Lincoln reign of terror, millions
were voted to that hidden sink of ini
quity, the “ fspcrcf service fund,” and,
from Brow nlow’s confession, the people
can see how that fund was squandered.
Brownlow, up to n certain date, was a
rampant secessionist, ami at one time
actually suggested (in his paper,) that
Lincoln should bo assassinated. He
also recommended that all negroes who
exhibited sympathy Jnr the “Northern
vandals,” should he immediately shot
< r hanged. All at once, however,
Brownlow became an extreme Radical,
and wanted everybody murdered who
did not agree with him in sentiment. At
the same time i! was noticed that lie
had become suddenly wealthy. The
nilnn'ni'itrafinn had bought the wre'rh
bought him for a price with the people's
money. Brownlow is now a scallawag
Senator, wealthy, impudent, and domi-
neering.
This “secret service fund” of the
Lincoln ad ministration produced strange
political freaks in hundreds of men.
Seeessionislsand weak-kneed Democrats
we«*e bought up like cn H ttlo in the mar
ket. and after their apostacy they gave
It .outjjmt their, love of “loyalty” had
caused them to change front and to es
pouse principles fhat they despised in
♦ heir hearts,. It was all n lie—Lincoln’s
“ secret service fund” had Veen used
upon them, and with them it was a
matter of money altogether. Liucoln’B
corrupt practices will some day he ex
posed, and when they are a stench will
go up blinding and strong.
ANOTHER OF GUAM'S ni-INOEHS.
Grant lias again made himself a
laughing mi,ek. On Friday he sent in
a proclamation to the Senate, ordering
an extra session, for the consideration
of appointments. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
tells how it was received :
When ihe proclamation w as ioad in
the {senuto this afternoon, Mr. Fessen
den in his quiet, dry way, asked
whether it did not provide for an extra
session in 1870 instead of 1800. Another
opportunity'wanuflorded the discontent
ed for exclaiming in derision, “Another
blunder! Another blunder!” The cause
of lids was the wording of the document
itself, which called for an extra session
of the Senate ‘ next April.” Fessenden
wanted to know whetluT the word
“next” did not literativ make the proc
lamation mean April IBTn?, f Thpre
no liitle smiliiiL'and joking at tpis in
terrogatory bom the usually solemn
Senator from Maine. The only kind of
joke he over perpetrates is that which is
covered' with bitter,- cutting nare-sm. at
which listeners are more prone to feel
a-doiiished than pleased : therefore when
he provoked a laugh Jo-day it won no or
dinary o. currency. Fessenden, however,
was ii» earnest, and walked, up to the
Secretary's desk to suggest that thn at
tention of the Presidentshmild he drawn
to the wording of Urn proclamation, bo
that it might h-«v,ol.egnl and hlndfog
force to convene the Senate next Monday.
Many Senators con on reed in Fessenden's
opinhm. hold ng that as the present
month is April, next April must literally
be construed to mean April, 1880. In
accordance wit!> the Miggestiou, of Mr,
Fessenden* it was M'nt n.icK u> the W* lie
House, and there altetc.l so as to read
”12lh of April, lu-tsi.” in-aead of *‘32lli ol
April next.”

THE COUNTY HUPERINTENI»fcN€Y.
On the first Tuesday of May,the School
Directors of each county in our Common
wealth are required toy assemble and
elect a suitable person —“a practical
teacher*-a person of literary alt ail
ments”—to superintend the schools of
the county, for tie* ensuing three yeais.
As the day approaches, it is reasonable to
suppose that the minds of our own ' I rec
tors are exerci-ed upon a fluty, upon the
».toji.T i . i i.-i ■n-JUfi' of which the welfare
iiiml pioL r iin>, ol popular education rest-*.
The school system of Pennsylvania has
justly earned the admiration of neigh
boring .Slates, notwithstanding Its want
of an independent school fund. The
present law (lie-result of Ion.; experi
ence and gradually progressive views—
with its comprehen-iveness. ds features
relative to taxation, course of studies,

Us chcerlul acceptance ami appteciation
of Its advantages by the people. It may
yet require revision or addenda as expe
rience and progress may dictate, but, lor
the present, Ii utlords advantages equal If
not hotter than that of any other State,

standard of the profession as lha; of Su
perintendent. It is true tbal'a very de
cided opposition to this office lias mani
fested itself, and We arc forced to believe
for not Impiobable leason*. ” The right
man in the right place” issL'h'cmi found.
Our little local j»ah»usles, our friends
through reladonslpp, our impecunlosity,
our sense ol the want of open, direct,
suddenly visible advantages, is argument
enough for its public condemnation.—
These, together with llie'ineffieieuc.', the
inertness, ami* the warn of executive
ability on the paitof former Incumbent*,
unhappily help lo make tins important
ollice unpopular with many good educa
tional men. The advantages, the merits
ol V e office, are extinguished by the in
capacity ol the olliecr, and while ad
cat.luges have been thrust into our hands
by legislation, wo reject them because bl
our refusal to avail ourStdvea of them for
ihe reasons already mentioned. We
snouid not tie condemnatory of an office
when we refuse or neglect to have its
duties well performed either through in
di Terence oi penuriousness. Other coun
ties have enriched their children by a
proper spirit ol acceptance.

It may not be altogether within the
province of our communication to dwell
either upon the duties or the requisite

as the time appro idles we may lie ex

their official capacity they have no morq,

This officer has a supervisory power
which in its exercise may resuil’jn-great

TIIK SKRttCTION
From what we have already said It will
be p'-rceived that we hold the ollice of

We believe that the directors of tpis

with the hlgn character of the office. Its
manifest failure to produce manifest ie-
Milts, at once benilicent and progressive,

.EXTRA SESSION* OF CONGRESS I’KOltAlthK
A Senator from the Pacific coast is au
thority for the statement that an extra
session of Com.toss will be called within
sixty days. The purpose of calling the
extra session is sit led by the same gen
tleman to l>e the intention of the admin
istration to force issues on the Cuban
business. This report startles many, but
its gelling out is merely believed to he
premature, not incorrect-. It became
knovtii by private intimations belnggiv
en to fur West Congressmen not to lie in
too great hurry lo go home, as they might
be needed. They so farcredit it as tode
ler, in many cases; their departure and
await events. There may be other rea
sons at the bottom of the Intention to
call an extra session. The Cuban busi
ness, however, is accepted as the most,
plausible and probable reason. What
Congress will dr* or will be asked lo do as
to Cuba is not en«y to stale. Conjectures
and reports, however, all vaguely por
tend a programme of annexation, it need
be, by force. Peaceably If we can, forci
bly if We must; if the latter, tnen a par
tial reconstruction of the Cabinet will
certainly occur, because the .Secretary of
Stale leinair.s unalterably opposed lo
any and all designs calculated To embroil
this country in war with Spain- or with
any oilier power. Indeed, he is opppos
ed lo the annexalion policy to the north
ami -outh ol us generally, and on this
{mint is not in harmony with the admin
istration. It can be authoritatively sta
led that the President has been made
aware since Thursday that a verv formi
dable expedition is openly preparing in
this country at two points, New York
and New Orleans, witn the ••vowed de
sign of proc edi ig o Cuba. Tle men at
work to gel -up (liki. expidiiioii tieciare
that the government will manage to let
it alone very adroitly. .More of the ex
tent and existence of tin* enterprise can
be found out in New York than here,
because there are its material and per
sonnel concentrating. This fact united
to the teport, believed to tie well founded
that an extra ses-ion of Congress is to lie
called for the 4th of July ensuing, war
rants the expectation of the gravest events
in the history of the country which
have occurred f >v \ ea s.
CURA
Aiiilri'HN (otlic Ampi’icnn People, Issued
by flic Agent of the ICcToliillonnr.v Pnr-
N’i:\v York, April 15.—£enor J. Vali
enta, agent of tne Cuban revolu’iotdsla,
lias issueii un address to the American
people, in which, after reciting (tie
grievance* the Cubans have long suffer
ed under the el vi I and military tyranny
of Spain, and their previous disastrous
attempts to throw off the yoke, he says
tiie revolution comineneeti mi October io,
last, and lias steadily grown in strength
and promises (o realize ail the hopes of
tiie patriots. The Cuban liberating ar
my has been gradually increasing, not
withstanding tbe losses consequent upon
a steady campaign, and now comprises
42,01)1) men, under Gespeoes, who iscom
maiider-in-cldef of that army and head
ot the republican government.
Their lines now run in a westerly di
rect! m fo Saguu la Grande, without
reaching the seaboard either north or
or south for want of the requisite arma
ment to hold it; hut the territory ptint
e • out Is nearly two thirds of the urea of
Cuba in which slavery lias been abolish
ed, and in which the Spaniards control
only the ground upon which they siami
at hay.' This has been done by (lie pa
ti lots in a comparatively shorttime, hot
withstanding their sad deficiency in war
material, and leads to Hie belief if they
bad been tolerably supplied with such
materials their movements would now
cover also t lie remainder of tiie island,
where yet no uprising lias taken place
irmn .tier-want of arms, whilst their
enemies are fully armed with Hie heat
approved weapons of the United States;
but such are our neutrality aws. Unit
they allow a European power lo obtain
war material freely irmn our workshops
in crush a people struggling for freedom,
in the.very heart, of America, and pro
hibit the same people from supplying
themselves with simi ar materials irmn
us to carry on Hieirstrnggle against that
power. The address concludes as fol
lows ;
Cul»a is fairly storied on h»r way to
national independence, that her sons
have been manfully fielding for these
six months, without having vet violated
our neutfu'Uy, despite their lack of arms,
and are therefore entitled to the "earn -st
sympathy of our people; and the more
so, as their struggle Involves a great
American principle that no European
power siiall no h nger control any coun
try upon this hemisphere.
