say, resulted disastrously. The igger ain't
fitted for co-operashen with the Dimocrisy. In
stid uv hungin onto us like the ivy onto the oak,
he diskivcred that, In the South at least, he wax
really the oak and we the ivy; instid uv
lookin up to us, he contracted a disa
greeable habit uv lookin down onto us.
There wuz other reasons why he •coodent be
made available for our uses, and therefore it wnz
decided to go back onto the Afrikin, and to agin
attempt his reduckshen to ez near his normal
slicer ez the abnormal condislin uv the times wood
admit. The directers uv the college met and
changed the name uv the Institooshn back to the
"Southern Military ct.• Clasikle Institoot," and the
Corners wuz itself agin.
Deekin Po gram lookt ez tho the ten years bed

"to walk erect agin in front uv a nigger, and to
pass em ez tho they wuz niggers!—Oh of I cood

We lied a meetin last nice to consider this nig

atween the Afrikin and the proud Caucashun;
swill' from the length uv his heel and arm, the
thickness uv his skull and so forth, that the nig

more than ollock and Joe Bigler. Ex I took
my scat and, •uz a wipin the perspupashen from
my classikle brow, feefin that I bed settled that •
question, Pollock riz and desired to say a few
words avd make a suggestion. Sed he:—
' "I, bey listened with interest to the elokeut

wich is new to Me. Ef I bey ever doubted the
inferiority of the nigger them doubts are re
moved, pervidin alluz, that the statements of the ,
speeker is troo, uv wich I hew ntr doubt, ez the ,
character uv the epeeker is a sutlishent guarantee
for the trooth uv wichever he•sez."
I bowed stately-like, with the air uv One to
whom rich compliments wnz a every • day affair,
wich they aint by no means, on the contrary
quite the reverse.
"But I want it demonstrated to the satiSfaek
shen uv the most obtooie--I want rite here a
measuretnent uv the average Afrikin and the av
erage white man that all the world may know
I •
the difference. move that it be did."'
I acceded. "Let It be done," sed I, "that the
vexed question may be settled forever."
Sevral of era. askt to submit to the
measurement, but all refused. Finally Joe Bigler
sed he saw Napoleon Johnson, a nigger wich
wunst belonged to Deekin Pogrom, in the
audience. "Napoleon," sed he, "will yoo con- i

"Now,!.',.sed Pollock, "let us examine in the

Good Lord, how I hey bin deseeved! Wat errors

I smiled beninantly onto him. -
Bigler riz. "I, too," sed he, "am satisfied that
the nigger is not wat we,who wuz disposed to con
sider him fit to exercise rites, supposed him to be.
I held firm when the measurement uv his hands
and arms wuz being- made, but the heel stag
gered me. Its clear that no one kin hey intellek
whose leg isn't set in his foot better than that. I
shel persoo this investigashen. Hevin now a

I shelgo on to prove the inferiority uv the nig

the lever of trootli, proceed to upset the fabric
uv nigger ekality and carry confooshen into
Boston. I shel assoom that Napoleon is a ave
rage specimen uv the lower or unintellectool
African type. Is it so ?"
"It is! it is !" yelled we all, dented at the happy
turn the thing wuz takin.
"I shell also assoom that Issaker Gavitt is a
avrage uv the higher or intellectooal Caucashen
type. Is it so ?"
•‘Certinly ! Certinly !"
"Very well. Now quake, Massachoosets. Na
poleon, kin yoo read ?"
I saw the trap into which we lied fallen, and
risin hastily protestid that the oxaminashen hed
bin carried far enoff, and so did Deekin Pognum,
but Bigler swore he wuz agoin to kiver Massa
ehoosets with shame, and I sot down paralyzed.
"Kin yoo read, Napoleon ?"
"Yes, sah!"
"Read this, then," sed Bigler, handin him a
noosepaper.
The nigger read it ez peert ez a Noo England
skool warm, wich well he mite, ez ho learned it
from one uv em.
"Kin yoo write ?"
"Certinly," and taidn a pencil, he writ half uv
the Declashen uv Independence.
"Set down, Napoleon. It's a devilish pityyoor

kinJoo read?"
"I protest !" ehreeked; I, in agony. "Issaker,
don't answer the skoffer at ethnology!"
But Issaker, ez white ez a sheet, and tremblin
under the eye uv Bigler, who knowd him from

The Illuratnation at Vera Cruz in
Honor of Madame Juarez---Thu Aus
trians Remaining in Mexico-
Ortega — Coining to Mexico as a .
. Pris
oner.
i VERA Carz, July 16.—The revenue cutter Wil
derness left Vera Cruz so suddenly after her arri
val with Mrs. Juarez and family that it was
hardly possible to get a letter on board.
The public honors bestowed upon the family
last evening were of the most satisfactory and
gratifying character. The palace was illumi
nated with over eight hundred tapers, and In a
very tasteful and appropriate manner. The pri
vate residences of the citizens were most elabo
rately adorned, and the street in which is the re
sidence of the ladies with whom she is
stopping was lit up by over
a thousand ornamental lanterns hung upon Wire
across the street, and for three or four hours the
• scene was further animated by music from two
bands. one of string and the other of brass instru
ments. The evening was passed by the party in
receiving their friends, and the display of ladies
and geurlemen in fine apparel could not . have
been excelled in New York or Boston, which could
scarcely be believed by those in the Statevho
have the impression that Mexico is inhabited by
an uncultivated and uncivilized FriZe. This entire
ovation was not conducted by the authorities, but
was the spontaneous act of the citizens of the
place. The day and evening passed without any
disturbance or accident. except the death of a
cannonier by the premature discharge of a gun
which was saluting her landing in the morning.
By the cutter Wilderness a, special messenger
hits arrived; it is said, with' despatches to. Mr.
Otterbourg, announcing to him his nomination
as Minister to Mexico. I 'have conversed with
. many Americans in Mexico, and ,it is difficult to
discover the first man who can understand - what
the United States mean by such a nomination.
It certainly cannot be expected that such an ap
pointment can be pleasing or acceptable to the
Mexican Govermitent. A t thismonient it is pro
bable that the, nations of Europe will withdraw
their ministers and consuls, sad the United States
;..-remain atone as- the-aolelnendlt-nution,--and-yet
a minister is named who, if fit for the position in
-this critical moment of the constitutional history'
of MeXico,.K . iii consequence of his antecedents,
most likely to be rejected by the Mexican autho
rities, and I even predict that Mr. Otterbourg
will not be accepted or recognized at Mexico
city, or that at least the Uuited , States will be
requested to reconsider his nomination, and
send some one who is well known as a ates
' manand diplomatist, and one who speaks
Spanish and is famillapwith the past history and
the people of the country. Is it likely that Gen
eral Dix or any foreign minister will feel that his
position has been dignified by such a nomination?
There aro- plenty of competent men in the States
who know Mexico. and who cannot be Influenced
by any bugaboo of the danger of travel, who
would, by appearing upon the scene immediately
in part atone for the sad results which have fol- I
lowed the absence of a minister with Juarez dur
ing the past year. We have had enough of im
becility. and the people of the States should I.
demand that more common sense be immediately
displayed by our Secretary of State. The ques
tion is raised here, if it can, be possible that Mr.
Seward desires to provoke this distracted people
by thus insulting their manhood?
Sp well is and has it been understood that Mr.
'Otterbourg is of reactionary sympathies, that . in
February last, when the gentleman attemptedto
effect an arrangemvnt 1%, tween General Bazalim
arid Porfirio Dia4 . .so that the hitter General
should occupy the city upon the trench evacu
ation, General Diaz refused to make any arrange
ment assisted by Mr. Otterboarg. .
We have received
_papers from the States by .
the- revenue 'cutter Wilderness, which depict lu
gubriously the - sad cannibalistic animus of this
people, and are, most amused at the lachrymose
wit inings of rebel sheets, who moan over the just
punishinent of Maximilian and the Insult to the
Stars and Stripes, forgetting thatfor the past five .
or six years they have been cursing and besliruing
that banner.
Apropos: We saw some sixty or more Austrian
officers and men, late prisoners of war, who were
captured at Mexico city, passing freely about our
streets to-day, and embark upon the Austrian
vessel Elizabeth. There are said to be about one
thousand Austrians, late of Max's army, in the
country, who have no means of getting out of
the iterior or away . front these shores. They
walk be a valuable acquisition to the - Working
class o the States on the northern border of the
Gulf of Mexico.
It is stated In this city to-day that private de
spatches
have been received from Mexico city
unfavorable to a hoped for liberal and generous
amnesty. We prefer to await farther confirma
tion. Despatches by telegram have arrived
which promise immediate amelioration of the
excessive Custom House exactions, and mer
chants of this place aro in better
spirits. The collection of exorbitant
double duties and additional twenty-the per
cent. will not be carried out. Citizen President
Benito Juarez makes his triumphal entrance into
Mexico city to-day, and it is expected that the
city has never witnessed such joy. -At is reported
that Ortega is to cuter the city at about this time
as a prisoner. Last night, the late Imperial offi
cers were removed from the city prison and taken
to the castle of San Juan, where they will await
their trial. Most of the banished Libeialshave re
turned amid great rejoicings. This afternoon, a
gentleman rode into the city from the interior on
horseback, himself surmounted by an immensely
tall beaver hat, of Knox's best, the lower part of
his face being covered by a sort of mask ancl,..as
his whole appearance was tether inajestic, he was
taken to the - Palace. The search for Marquez and.
such others of his chiefs as have eluded , the libexgl
officers, is so thorough, that all magnificent
or grotesque travelers are inquired after.
The individual proved to' be an „inno
cent American of the medical profession, and for
the information-of sensationists was not Mur
dered or eaten alive. 'We have t °thing yet as to
the fate,of Santa Anna. The panish steamer
which has been overdue some days, has, hear,
changed her time of sailing, and will not be hero
till the hitter part of the week. The general be
lief is hero that he has mot been executed, how
ever much he may deserve it, and that he will be
tried by court- martial. What will be the policy
in the States if he too shall eventually share the
fate of Maximilian?
' The prisoners of Spanish and Mexican birth of
the late Imperial army who are at the castle, are
allowed fifteen dollars per month by the Liberal
authorities for their food, and therewith must
provide for themselves by 4 purchasing from pro
vision•keepers at the' castle, who sell at reason
able rates—like reasonMg' . and people--;

The Resignation of Secretary Stanton
Reports of the New York Press.
The Washington correspondence of the New
York paperti contains the following versions of
the reports in regard to the resignation of the
Secretary of War.
[From the New York Herald of to-day.]
A week ago I telegraphed you that the Presi
dent positively contemplated the removal of Sec
retary Stanton at an early day. My information
at that time was based on reliable authority, and
to-day it has been verified. President Johnson
has at last undertaken the step, and this morning
sent Secretary Stanton a letter requesting his
withdrawal from the Cabinet. No reply has - been
received up to this hour, and none is expected
until to-morrow. The regular Cabinet meeting
will be held at noon to-morrow, when no doubt
the subject will be discussed.
It appears that for more than a year—and this
I have from the best authority—the resignation
of Mr. Stanton has been looked for. Week after
week and month after month the President
waited, expecting each day to hear from the Sec-,
retary; but no word came, and at lasta letter was
drawn up by thePresiderdasking Mr. Stanton to
resign. This letter was also held back •for some
time, because the breach between the Secretary
and the President was daily growing wider and
wider. This hostility was so decided- that it was
thought Mr. Stanton could not go on much longer
without tenderinghis resignation. But Mr. Stan
ton did go on, in spite of hints and the evident
desire for his vacating.
As I have stated already, it was not until this
morning that the letter was actually sent. Should
Mr. Stanton decline to yield, I have authority for
stating that the President 'will undertake, to re-
Move him, and the Tenure of Office billit=elf,. it'
is claimed, .will sustain- bins in this exercise of
power. The President believes that the first sec
tion' of the bill does not take away his power of
removing Mr. Stanton, as the latter was ap
pointed by Mr. Lincoln, and not Mr. Johnson. it
reads thus:
Provided that the Secretaries of State, of the
Treasury, of War. of the Navy. of the, Interior,
and the Postmaster-General and the ttorney-
General shall hold 'their - offices respectively
during the,term of the President by whom they
hare been appointed, and one mont'a thereafter,
subject to removal by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate.
The President takes the around that lie can re
move all his Cabinet except the three appointed
since his accession to office.
As to who will succeed Mr. Stanton nothing
has yet been decided. It is probable that General
Giant will be summoned to act temporarily, and
the President considers. Ault it would be the
wisest choice for the p cut. General Grant,
being familiar with army a ffairs,and the chief of the
army, would undoubtedly be an admirable selbc
flew. In making this statement about General
Grant,'l am but giving the impression of people
of - all shades of opinion here.
The news is known to but few here, but when
published to the country will doubtless cause an
immense sensation.
I From the N. Y. Tribune of to-day.]
There is no longer any necessity for specula-.
tion as to the purpose of the President With ref
erence to Mr. Stanton's continuing in the Cabi
net. Mr. Johnson, this morning, notified him in
writing that his resignation as Secretary of War
would be acceptable. So far Mr. Stanton has
not been heard from on the subject; but his
friends say he will rel4n, and that heis_prepar
-ing a-written - respOagAwhe-note of the Presi
dent. In ease Mr. Statfton goes oat of the Cabi
net Gen. Grant will be appointed to perform the;
duties of Secretary of War until the. President
shall have time to consider who he will name as
the successor of Mr. Stanton.
The rupture between the President and Secre
tary Stanton is still the chief topic of conversa
tion here.' Stanton's friends, who have been
with him to-day, state that he gives out that he
will not resign. He says that if the Presidents
wishes to oet rid of him, he will have to do so by
olatin4 tote law and removing him—that he will
never yield. On the other hand, the Johnson
men, who claim to be posted as to the President's
opinion, assert that he, the President, will re
move or suspend Stanton if he refuses to resign.
The contemplated removal of Sheridan is lost
sight of since it has become known that John
son has stated that Stanton must go first, and all
interest is centered in a climax to the John
1-on-SMirton quarrel. The White House and
War 'Department politicians are very active.
Stanton has been run down with visitors most
of 4he day.
Since writing the foregoing, we learn that
certain friends of Mr. Stanton, who called pu
him to-day, say he assured them that he would
not resign. ,
[From the New York Times of to-dry.)
TLe rumors regarding Secretary Stanton's
intention to resign from the 'War Office have as
sumed a more definite form to-day, and seem to
be woe thy of credence. It is certain, at any rate,
that the President and his friends desire that he
should leave the Cabinet. and Mr. Johnson did
not hesitate to say as much in a 'very public man
ner last Saturday. It is also known that Mr.
Stanton absented himself from the Cabinet
Meeting last Friday, when the .question of
Sheridan's removal was discussed at length. The
frequent rumors of his resignation, which have
been published heretofore, and which have had
their origin in similar disagreements, have never
been so well founded as thos,e now afloat, but it
is nevertheless possible, if not probable, that the
whole affair will blow over without any change
in the Cabinet.'
The Secretary's friends announce publicly, to
night, that he expects to receive a request to
resign very soon, but say that be will not comply

The Edinburgh Review contains a very careful
article on "The Military Institutions of France,"
founded on the recent writings of the Duke of
Aumale and Generals Trochu and Changarnier,
from which we take the following extract. The
Review says: •
"We do not conceal our opinion that the
power, and even the superiority, of the French
army is an essential condition of the liberty and
independence of Europe. France has ere this
giyen liberty to others, even while she denied it to
herself; and if the, fuhtfre has in store a military
combination between the Powers of the North—
the forces of Germany backed by the forces of Rus
sia—it is only by a close and intimate alliance of
France with thlicountry that the cause of West
ern civilization, and perhaps the independence of
the East, can be upheld. No truces of past
rivalry and animosity, no apprehension of future
differences, shake our faith in the alliance of
France and Great Britain as the best security of
public law and of peace; and we therefore regard
the efficiency of the French army with an inte
rest second only to that which we feol in the
efficiency of our own forces. ft cannot too often
be repeated that the peace of Europe is threat
ened, if it be threatened, not by France, but by
the changes Prussia has made iu the distributi ou
of power.
If, moreover, we turn our eyes to the New
World, where another great military and naval
Power has sprung, into existence, and where we
are sometimes met with tones of hostility and de
fiance, it is mainly the state of our relations with
Franco which may accelerate or arrest a rupture
of our pacific relations with the United - States:
The alliance of England and France Is, therefore,
especially valuable as the pledge, of peace, for
though either of them might be attacked singly,
they will not be defied with impunity as Wog as'
they act together. In' that fundamental doctrine
of, the policy and the reign of Napoleon 111. we
cordially concur, and. e believe. 'to be 'Shared

The following letter is addressed to the Rev.
11. H. Garnet, pastor Shiloh Presbyterian Church,
New York, by Major Delany, a colored ssoldier:
Mr DEAR Stu: In such' times as these it re
! quires men, of the greatest, practical 'experience,
acquired ability, mature intelligence, and discre
tional wisdom, to speak and act for the race now
an integral part and essential element in the body
politic of the nation. Therefore I do most sin
cerely hope that you and the other leading minds
among our people May take your stand, speak
out, and define your true sentiments in relation
to the greet points now agitating the public
mind, especially the black man's claims to Mike.
The great principle always advocated by our
leading men has been to claim for us, as a race,
all the rights and privileges belonging to an
American citizen of the most favored race. But
Ido not think' that those who have
: so long, so
steadily, and determinedly stood up as you and
others of us have done, even to a national con
cession of these claims, ever contemplated taking
any position among our fellow-citizens, till we at
least should be ready and qualified. It follows,
as a matter of course, that ;awe than we should
be ready, before it Is possible to attain to such
Positions. lam sure that upon this point, - there
will be but one sentiment among the old line
leading men of our race, cotemporaneous with
us, when the subject is placed betore them.
I have been indneed to pen this letter to you by
seeing in the telegraph proceedings of the Co
lumbia (S. C.) Convention a claim put forth by
Mr. J. J. Wright. in behalf of our race, for the
Vice Presidency of the United States. I hope no
such nonsense as this will for a moment be enter
tained. Our enemies would desire no heavier
nor stronger club with which to break the heads
of our friends and knock out our brains than this.
We are not children. but %men, comprehending
the entire situation, and should at once discoun
tenance anything that would seemingly make us
cat's paws, and ridiculous in the eyes and estima
tion of the, political intelligence of the world.
Let coloredjnen be satisfied to take things like
other men, in their natural course and time.
Prepare themselves in every particular for local
municipal positions, and they May expect to at
tain to some others in time.
Mr. Wright is a young man, of some twenty
seven or twenty-eight years of age, and conse
que:4ly without any political experience, except .
such as acquired since the war commenced, and
therefore may be excused for so palpable a po
litical blunder. I am a personal friend of his,
therefore take the liberty of speaking frankly
about hint. I ant, Sir, for our race and country at
large, your friend. _ _

known outside of those immediately connected
with its support. It is called. the Western Provi

years ago. and has continued up to the present
time; during which period it has been kept up
only by the untiring zeal and • self-sacrificing
spirit of a few noble women, animated •by the
true spirit of that religion whose- work and duty
it is "to do good and distribute," and whose re
ward is "for with such saerific•a , s God: IS, well
pleased." The importance of an institution
which takes children from the evil influences of
a depraved home and giVes them a Christian edu

nature of the Rome, it mar be said that Protest

either bound out, or provided with other suitable
homes. Many are taken back to their original
homes. and who can estimate the amount of
good that may be infused Into the hitherto de
