ARE WE TO FAI.L AS ROME IEI.I. ?
When Rome was iu the hands of
desperate and wicked military leaders,
who had usurped the places of her great
statesmen, Ptolemy, an Egyptian king
and a desperately bad man, who had been
dethroned by his people because of his
dishonesty and wickedness, hastened to
the camp of Cato, a Roman general,
with a view of obtaining Cato’s infiu
ence with the Roman people to induce
them to interpose iu his behalf and thus
restore him to ids throne. Cato was a
man oj stern, unbending virtue, wito at
this particular time was in a moody
-•ate of mind because of the profligacy,
corruption and vice of the military des
pots then in power in his country.
Cato, therefore, in his own blunt’way.'

bors of tho JJcrald, and indeed all tho
Radical papers of tho country, arc pub-,
lishing what purports to be a resume of
tho doings of tiie .Grant administration
for one (the lirsl) year. To the man
not posted in thoaflidrs- of government,
tins’ resume looks plausible—favorable
to tho smoker of' the White House.
But, lebtis examine it a little, and then,
after having done so, decide whether
Grant is entitled to credit or censure.
It is asserted that during tho first year
of Grant’s administration,, some eighty
seven millions of dollars of the public
debt has |>cen paid. .This is not true;
but, for tho sake of argument, lei us, for
the present, admit the cancellation of
ttyis amount of debt. The question tho
people are interested in—tho question
'they want answered is this— how much
money was paid into the Treasury duriny
the first yeur.pf Grands administration ?
It is very easy fora man to pay;hisdebts
When his income far exceeds Ins neces
sary expenses. We learn, then, from
official documents, that'during tho “one

ment was nearly four hundred millions
of dollars , as follows : .

Under tho above caption tho Wash
ington correspondontof Forney’s Press,
mentions tho fact that the admission of
the negro Revels as a member of tho
United States Senate, has had an ellcct
In Washington negro circles. Tito ne
groes now demand that their children
be admitted to the schools heretofore
composed of white children. There are
twice the number of colored schools in
Washington that ihereatewbileschools,
and tho colored schools arc not as full of
pupils as the while schools. The teach
ers in the Washington colored schools,
100, a»*e tho best that Massachusetts can
ailbrd. There Is no excuse whatever,
therefore, for the negroes demanding,
admission to the while schools. But
they not only demand, admission, but
their demands are recognized and grant
ed by tho black-and-tan School Direc
tors of Washington city.
V During'tho last week,” says this
Washington correspondent, “siy colored
children to each school have taken their
seals in the while, schools.’” A few
months ago this “equality” experiment
was introduced into tho white schools
of Washington for the first time. One
“colored pupil” was foisted into each
school, as a feeler. The white children
mutinied, and their parents withdrew
them from the schools. .Now “ six
colored, children to each school have
taken their seals in the white; schools.”
Thisj correspondent adds:
“ lit is a favorable symptom that sev
eral ...of Ibe white parents who ordered
their children out of the schools in Jan
uary last-, because one colored scholar was
Introduced, have applied to the School
Board to re-admil their children into the
schools.”
“A favorable symptom,” says (his
correspondent of Jorney’s Press, What
sublime impudence! Arc,the poor peo
ple—those who cannot afford to cduVatc
their children at thph’ own expense—to
be compelled to send them Jo school
where negro children arc forced into,
their company” Let us see! Would
Mr. Forney,thoadvoeatbofthis “c’.pial
ity,” compel /its children to attend a
hlack-and-tan.school? Would Wir-on,
Banks, Sumner, Cameron and thcotlißt,
Radical leaders send their children to
a school where negroes are scholars’?
Xo, they would not. .These men’ are
rich, and can afford to send their chil
dren to private schools. But the poor
man, and the poor widow, who lost her
llusljntid i\v the* svrtv wtvr -nrWic.il V its
waged that Revels might occupy a seat
in (lie Senate—must send their children
to a,hlack-and-tan school, or-to none.
It is a “ favorable symptom” that some
of the white children who had been ta
ken out of the schools, have relurned to
them, say the negro equality advocates.
Wo see no symptom about it, except
that tlie parents of those children arc
compelled from poverty to submit to
the demands of the negroes. They dis
covered that they were not able to send
tin if children to private schools, and,
therefore, rather than see them grow
up uneducated, they, send them to, the
mixed school-.
'Phis action of the Radicals, .who have
charge of the Washington schools, is
another evidence of the contempt they
feel for poor whites. “Down with- the
poor white man, up with the negro, and
make him the coming man," appear to
be the watch word- of Radicals. And
yet we sec poor wn ito men conn ram ro
support this party and to vote for its
candidates ? Is this fanaticism, or what
is it?
AX ISF.DIIIUS I,Ij:
In the United States Senate, last
week, Senator Cameron of this State,
said in his place that “ho believed the
tide of war would have gone against us,
had not 200,000 negroes come to the res
cue.”
We were about to reply to this most
atrocious assertion of Cameron, when
the following article from -tho Ddyles
town Democrat, met our eye. The edi
ytorof tho ffDffldOCi'at is our valncdTrlcmi,'
General W. W.' H. Davis, who was in
the war and commanded a regiment for
four long years. Ho was twice severely
wounded, and is now minus a hand
and two rills. Gen. Davis then, lias
a right to speak in reply to Cameron—
more right than wo have—ajid we give
. his reply, asdic publishes it in hds able
•paper, the Doylestown Democrat. Gen.
Davis says;
“As Ah ex-officer of tho war wo deny
tho truth of Cameron’s assertion. The
back-hone of the rebellion was broken
before a negro was put into tho field.
Not a -ingle victory ofthe war was won
by negro troops ; nor wore they engaged
in any successful enterprise that would
nut have been equally successful with
out thorn. It is not complimentary to
.(lie 2,OUU,Oi(U white troops to be told that
they and their cause were saved by I lie
nogroe-; nor is it to the credit of the
country to have it said that (wentv mil
lions could not whip ton millions,"with
out-calling upon theslavcs of the latter
to help. Mr. Cameron’s statement
would ho highly creditable to the South
if correct; hut it is ftilsc, false in -every
particular. The negroes never fought
a successful battle during the war.
They are not lighting nlbn, and Cam
eron knows it.” . •
I Dma i> It—Wo mean the communiea-,
tion on our first page, signed “ Ferret.”
It is tiro production of uh earnest and
intelligent young Democrat, tylio, in
common wit'll every far-seeing man of
the party, is alarmed at the attempts of
a few restless spirits to make a pack
horse of the party to subserve their own
sollisli ends. Read his strictures care
fully, wo say, and then, on Saturday
nmxt, attend the meetings appointed
by the County Committee, and vote tho
ticket which reads “ Against the Dele
gate System.
We also direct attention to tho com;
mmiipalion of “ Candor,” on tho same
page, on the same.subject. It is from
a Silver Spring man, who has voted
(lie Democratic ticket some twenty-five
years. His views are sensible, to tho
point, and deserve attention.
The cadetship committee had under
consideration the other day, the ease of
honed John Covodo, of this State. After
establishing tho fact that honest John
had appointed a non-resident of his dis
trict, tho committee dropped him. The
reason-for leaving Dim down so easy, it
is said, is, that Do may have gorged
some of his ill-gotten gain tosomooftlie
committee. This is the same John
Covode who acted as chairman of tlie
Republican Stale Central Committee
during the late election.
A bog was killed at Springlleld, Illi-
nois, the other day, that had in its sto
mach thirty nails, half n saw, one file
and a suspender buckle. That hog was
a thief, and in politics a Radical.
THE RINGS I THE RINGS I
Wo liavo in this country, regularly
ollicercd and organized, the gold ring,
(with Grant and Ids wife and brother
in-law Corbin as members,) the whiskey
ring, the Congressional lobby ring, tho
cheat-the-Indians ring, tho negro equal
ity ring, the carpet baggers, ring, and a
dozen other rings not necessary to men
tion. All these rings or organizations
are tho legitimato“oll'siiring of Radio'd-,
ism, and they work separately or to
gether as circumstances demand. Tho
object for which tho rings contend is
robbery—tho enriching of the members
at the expense of the public treasury.
Look at our country—watch tho hun
gry vultures who protend to bo its
guardians. Grant and his wife specu
lating in gold; members of Congress
receiving bribes; Indian agents giving
whiskey to tho Indians, for the purpose
of getting up a fight; carpet ha'.Gov
ernors and State Treasurers stealing
the monies of the over-taxed p'oplo ;
revenue oflicers running oil daily, car
rying with them the money they had
collected; negro murderers pardoned
by tho President; army ■ swindlers;
wholesale robberies; swindling, plun
dering and peculation the order of the
day, and debauchery in all tho public
otllces. No wonder that the-loaders of
the Radical negro party are appealed to
by Forney and other leading editors not
to tell tales out ol school. Oh, how co
hesive tho power of public plunder!
Tlie Bale of t’mle(slii|is.
The sale of cadetships, by members of
Congress is essentially wrong, and the
offence, whether committed by a Re
publican or :v is equally ccn.
siira'ble. Nor dobs it make the slightest
difference in the bascn'cssoftilepractice,
whether it has endured for one year or
for twenty. The discovery, at least, is
recent, and pnhiic condemnation of so
gvav and gross an abuse of official
patroiiagc slioidd he without extenu
ation, cither in respect of persons or the
time ofils continuance. The strangest
fact of all, however, is, that,, persons
deemed tit to hold seats in the Nation
'ttl-r.egislatnro should not only commit
.actsso manifestly iniquitous, but coolly
.declare that they thought them .'quite
innocent and unexceptionable. The
right of a Representative to nominate a
cadet, cither at Annapolis or West
Point, is n sacred trust, to be exorcised
on behalf, lirst, of his.immediate con
stituents, and, secondly, the nation at
largo. It is, therefore, not the personal
property of any Congressman, which
he may set up in market and sell to
any purchaser for the best price he can
get. Yet Whittemore, and Dowces,
and Golladay, seem to have hawked
openly their appointments about the
streets of Washington and sold them
for various sums ranging from $5OO to
11,500. ' Nothing could more strikingly
show the very low character ol the
men who arc now being sent to Con
gress. Rather than bo thought knaves,
they have confessed themselves to bo
fools. Hoping to escape the infamy of
selling cadetships, with knowledge of
the crime, they have willingly incurred
(lie hardly loss odious reproach of
selling them in the belief that they were
doing nothing that was either dishonest
or dishonorable. Even after finding
nut that. -they,Jiad, committed,ai_.ver’v--
base action, Dowees and Whittemore
sought to excuse themselves by saying
that they had spent the money in
carrying elections for tho Republican
party in their districts. These men are
either groat rascals and liars, or they
are tho most remarkable brace of moral
idiots we have ever mot with. They
certainly whnt either (lie brains or the
virtue, probably both, to fit them for
the office they have disgraced, and but
for the votes of negroes, wo doubt if
(hoy would ever have got into Congress.
They must tie accepted as samples of
"the kind-of Representatives negro suff
rage.is. to.fiirijislnnnd the:N.or.th.will, in.
due time, share tho evil and tho shame
of it with tho South.

What is Congress doing—is there any
thing'done- to relieve the distro-srs of
the country ? is so frequently asked by
the tillers of the S'il in our locality,
that We deem it our duty thus to answer
one and all. Nothing whatever. The
nigger under the wood-pile is yet in the
mouth of every Radical. Reconstruc
tion, negro now, negro then, negro al

It is asserted by documentary evi
dence that it costs the Government
precisely $27 50 to collect $1 of revenue

which has been added to our country

evidently an economical administra

gia a .second “hitch,” and now Butler Ims prepar

course Tennessee was never, theoretically or
practically, out of the Union, hut that maken no

hisvlrtucs. Of course, too, Tennessee was repre-
Kemed In Congress during the whole of tlio re

loyal—site Ims elected a Democratic Legislature

has also been prepared to reconstruct Alary land ;

for. Their visit to Mlllward was for the purpose
of white washing Covode, It Is true Mlllward
testified that lie obtained one thousand'dollars
for Covnde’s nomination of young Rcmuk to
West Point, but lie declares that he cheated Co
vode out of Ids share of tho plunder and pocket
ed the thousand dollars himself. Now no man
who knows John Covode will believo him to bo
so silly ns to let Mlllward got a cadetship out of
him without consideration. Millward is un
scrupulous. every one admits, but then ho Is no
match in cunning or for Covode. If
Covode did not make anything out of It, why
did he go out of his district to find a cadet.

fearful immorality in social life at Washington?
Thequcstiou can bo readily answered. At balls,
theatres and receptions tho'wlves and daugh

laces and gold. The women in lho.departments
—many of them very poor, see this and com
plain of their hard fate. One Is virtuous in a

Senator to gain his iuilucncc. It is any wonder
that hero and there one fulls? Honesty and
chastity have noshowat Washington. Intrigue
and easy virtue arc the winning cards. The

put on is disgusting. They attempt to defeat
