THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1878.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. Or tbe telegraph operators of Great Britain eleven thousand are women, and tbe number increases rapidly, as tbey do their work Ieedily and accurately. Axormjm to tbe opinion of a celebrated English physician, insane asylums in America are failures. Tbey serve no good either as places of detention or cure. Pbincc Arthur, Victoria's son, who is soon to b married, will live in Ireland. His residence baa been fixed in tbe vicinity of the Hill of tara, and a suitable home will be either purchased or built for him. A mow j the death notices in a Toronto (Can.) paper is that of John Malloy, ninety years of age. He claimed to bave been an officer on the Royal William, the first steam er that crossed the Atlantic. He grew to be very proud of this distinction, and often mentioned incidents connected with the trip, the landing and the comments on both ides tbe water. Denver, Colorado, is filling up with emigrants so rapidly that scores of ordinary dwellings will bave to be, erected this fall to meet the demand for them. Already on every street cottages and small houses are being built rapidly, but in every case a tenant rents tue building before It is out of the hands of the carpenters, and generally moves in before it is half completed. Isabella, ex queen of Spain, has signified her intention of giving to' Alfonso $100,000 to aid in building a tomb for the remains of ueen Mercedes. This might be thought generous, but as she obtained it by tbe sale of jewels belonging to the crown of Spain and which she stole, it loses all semblance of honorable generosity. In fact, the entire $400,000 was more than the jewelers appraised the jewels as being worth, but it was obtained by skillful auctioneering. Viiilk the yellow fever is ecourging the south, a perfect epidemic of crimels reported in tbe cities of tbe north and east. Outrages most loathsome and foul are frequent, and are multiplying. Murders, thefts, arsonsforgeries, are of daily occurreace, until fa. miliarity with crime is blunting the public horror at such deed?. There is no kind nor grade of tin and infamy that in the past fortnight has not been telegraphed from some section all over tbe land, and yet so common ha this become it awakens no comment. Plots against the lives of tbe Emperor William and the crown prince are discovered almost every day,, and the number of them Is beginning to dishearten the royal family, and the prolonged absence of any member causes great anxiety. When the prince leaves his wife for but an hour the adieus are said as if for a finJ separation, and she watches uneasily until his return is announced. A few days since a letter fell into :he hands of the Berlin police describing minutely a plot by which certain persons were to assassinate the emperor while he was asleep. As the conspirators were indicated solely by numbers there is no clue to them. Tbz radical organs and stump orators are contiLually boasting that the radical party has paid off $1,0(0,000,000 of the public debt, hut they fail to tell what they have stolen and squandered, and what the country has lost by contraction. Here It is, and we cUl. lenge any of ti,e radical ogans to prove that the items are not correct: Radical stealings for 13 years l,30O,000,U0U Slxty-nlno thousand, nine hundred and two failures, with liabilities to July 1,1878 1,R.474,413 Shrinkage of values, estimated at 40 per cent, on the property of the country 8,000,000,000 Revenues squandered during the ten years from June 30, 1SJ7. to June 30, 1H7G 9J5,0U,K77 Total.... ,.fll,Jl,'519,aSJ It is said by the most careful observers that at no time In the past ten years bave the cities of the United Mates been so clean as they are now. The fear of the yellow fever has done more to accomplish this than all the treatises on cleanliness ever written. Kspeciatly is this so with regard to New York. The cl wizens have been far more careful inspectors of their neighbors' premises than ever before, and have not been slow in reporting nuisances, and when matter became too unhealthy have called .the attention of the police to the premises. This promptness has had much to do with the abscence of the fever, and may tsach a lessen valuable in coming summers. So much has been said and written concerning ven tilation and cleanliness that any future neglect ot these essentials to health will have no excuse. The way interest has absorbed the wealth of the country is forcibly presented by the Terre Haute Express when it says that "since 1862 we have paid the bondholder in interest $1,881,764,272. This is greater than the assessed value of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, 'Louisiana, Mississippi and Vermont. The 'assessed vaUie of these states in 1877 was aa follows: 1 ndlana........... low a. r90,W,ll 401,670,041 I'tUCtt 316 174,707 ,TJ t Kansas ... Isuilana. Mlsdssl. pi Verraon t W,707,003 Total 11;M,X2j;18 "We still owe them $l,7UI,735,G50Tenough to absorb six states more. And they are not willing to take a greenback worth one bun dred cents in payment on their bonds after buying tbem with greenbacks worth sixty cents." ' A English magistrate, believing that breaking stone was not the simple task many judges believed it when sentencing men to the work, made Home practical experiments, He then gave his experience on the rock pile, as follows: "I found fully three-fourths of the stones such as any unskilled man in moderate health could manage; but the re mainder were beyond the power of an un 'Dracticed hand. The fact was that I did not understand the grain of particular atones, 'which a practised hand Vould have split easily; and IJiave no doutt that, through jo.ranc9 of the work, I exercised sufficient

'Btrength to bare broken four times ' tbe 'quantity I did. I can understand why a 'weakly man, ignorant of stone breaking, prefen to go to jail." He then recommends ibat a copy of instructions be given to every vagrant who Is to be puni-hed by being male to break stone. Thete instructions will tell plainly the quickest and easiest way of doing the work. In tbe year 1682 Cottoa Mather wrote aa follows: Ye at; od aud beloved John Hlginson : There henowataeaa shippe (Tor our friend KmUm Holder Aft, of Indou, did advise by the Iat packet, that it would Hall some time in August) railed ye Welcome, K. Ureenwas, master, w hich bus aboard a hundred or more of ye heretic and malignant called Quakers, with W. 1'euu, who Ik ye camp at ye head of them. 1e genentl coait hat accordingly given secret order to Master Malacnl lluxetl, ot ye brig? Purpolse, to waylayeye said Welcome, art near at ye coast of Coda as may be, and make captive of ve said IVnn and his ungodlleerew, ho that ye Ijord may be glorified and not niock'-d ye soil of thin new country witli ye teat lien worshipps of tliee people. Much spoil can be made by gelling ye wliole lot to llarbadoes, where slaves fetch cool price In ruuimeand sugar; and we shall not only do ye Lord great service by punish in i ye wicked, bat shall make gay ue for His ministers and -ople. Thk action of the Jeffersonville conference of Methodist preacfiers toward Dr. De La Matyr shows that the Cotton Mather spirit is still alive. Thk fact is pretty generally conceded that the government stamps the value of the varied currency which is now in use, a fact that upsets, to some extent, the intrinsic value thereof. An exchange remarks that "to please those who tlx the gold dollar as 'the proper basis, we will place that first, 'and give the value in gold of each of the 'other dollars, which can buy justasnuch 'labor, food, or anything else that the gold 'dollar purchases: The gold dolIar. 100 c The Trade silver, 4110 gr The Daddy dollar, 41254 gr - W.i c The Mexican, lUUgr ttS c Two half-dollars, 3714 ZT We 20 nickels, 5c 17V V nlefcelH.iio. ......... . llr;iC The ureenback.... . , 0 "It will b9 observed here are eight distinct 'kinds of money, which circulate indiscriminately in our country, and the least valuable, intrinsically, as compared with gold, 'buys just as much as any of tbe others."

Thk Journal yesterday tried to break the force of the libel suit against it by publishing a deposition of Mr. CSelwich sworn to be fore a notary public. The professional reader of the Journal will at once see that When the elder Mar tindale retired from the practice of tbe law there was no Choate or Wcbsier ruissiog from the ranks of his brethren. The failure ot the great linn of Morton V Martindale to get practice in the courti is now apparent. It speedily dissolved, and the latest legal effort of tbe judge is in the publication of an ex parte deposition of no legal worth, and which can not be read in evidence. It is to ba presumed, however, that the judge did not know. In his innocence of tbe law be doubtless imagined it could bs used without notice to the attorneys of Mr. Alvis, and he could slip in an ex parts statement without an opportunity to cross-examine. However lamentably ignorant the judge shows himself to be. the fact remains that the Journal has libeled an honest man, and when after due notice Mr (lelwich is confronted by a cross-examination, his answers may not be so satisfactory to the judge, and then it will dawn on his innocent mind that he has made another blunder, and aggravated the damages, which will be assessed against the pressnt proprietors of the Journal. The managing editor need not Hatter himself that the cas? will be disoilsjed after tle elect Jan. The suit Was not brought for electioneering bumcombe, ut for vindication, and the Journal manag er will Maon find it out Through the stu pidity ot somebody the Journal has. pun ished a gross libel, and although ignorant of the fact, every publication similar to the one in yesterday's paper aggravates damages No sort of bluff or bluster will avail in this instance. Is the Philadelphia school this season a departure ban been made from the old man ner of teaching and the usual course of study in the primary departments. "Cramming" is nolonger to be the ruin of the child, and the favorite method ot indifferent teacher?, but the children are to be taught to exercise their powers of reason more and that of memory less. That is the idea ot the lesson. The principal fact is to be fitened in the youthful mind, but the mere wording of tbe answer to the paragraph is not to be considered, aa heretofore, tbe prime object. The pupils will be led to express the ideas of their letson, so far as pos3ib!e In their own language, and to illustrate it with illustration's drawn from everyday life. Something of the object teaching so favora bly considered by the Philadelphia educators is in use all over tbe country, but in many schools the good of the course is marred by the ignorance of the teacher. He does not understand the matter beyond the few pic tures painted on the chart, and is so lacking in originality and versatility that he can not introduce something new at every lesson The quick, gifted teacher will never lack for subjects, for children are never weary of stories and pictures, and it is not necessary to be either a great author or artist to interest a primary class in the schools. Then questions will prevent monotony, and will suggest a dozn trains of other, any one of which followed out will occupy tbe time allotted for recitition and study. The kindergartens are doing this work well. They are the very schools for the little children, and when pupils are sent to other schools parents should In list upon at least some of the kindergarten exercises being allowed them. Tne difficulty has been that too many grades have been "too 'forcing." and tbe children have become in them either, prematurely educated or prematurely brain exhausted. They were little better than indexes, full of names aud words they did not understand, but simply remembered. Tbe course in the Philadelphia schools is to be as follows: "In 'the first grade the scholar is taught reading by means of charts and the blackboard. To 'suggest ideas, objects and pictures are presented and explained. Easy words of one 'syllable, used as names of objects, actions 'and qualities, are taught. In teaching 'arithmetic, tbe limit in counting of objects is from twenty and back. Then there are 'oral exercises in addition and subtraction, 'with numbers one and two, and in no case

'no sum or numeral exceeds twelve. Atten'tion Is also given to writing and drawing, 'and in this the modes of sitting and holding 'the pencil are enforced. The practice con'sista in making straight lines, right curves 'and left curves. In drawing, horizontal, 'vertical and oblique lines are made. The 'rudiments of music are taught by means of 'correct Intonations in ordinary conversation 'and speech, the proper position of the body 'and right management of the breath and vocal organs. Then follows single pure 'tones, by echo or imitation; intonation of 'the firat five sounds of the scale, ascend'ing and descending, and three or four sini'pie note songs within easy compass. A 'lesson is given each day on one of the subjects here mentioned. Colored cards and 'other objects are shown as red, yellow, blue. 'The principal parts of the human body, as 'the head, neck, trunk, arms, leg, right and 'left hands, are explained and exhibited."

HEWITT'S COaUKKSfclOXAL COMMITTEE OF IS QUIRT. The address of General Cyrus Bus say, president of the New Orleans chamber of commerce, before the congressional committee of inquiry some, days since, and which is published in full in the New York Board of Trade Gazette, is such a masterly presentation of the important commercial, agricultural apd industrial interests of the whole country, and particularly of the south and west, that if ' nothing else worthy of consideration bad been brought to tbe attention of the committee General Busiey's address would vindicate the wisdom of congren in its appointment. Passing over General Bussey's viewsconcern ing tbe causes that have led to the general depression of business, we note more particularly his remarks with regard to the remedies to be applied. He says: The remedy for the depression complained of is to be found In Jud. clous expenditure by the government lb sums sufficient to improve the transportation facilities of tbe country. We have an internal commerce amouutlng to 118,000,000,000. carried on railroads, and about 110,000,000,0-30 on lakes, rivers, canals and coast wise. There is no way of accurately estimating the value of the Mississippi river and Its tributaries. When we consider the bu k of the articles transported by water, we find It exceeds that carried by rail. The lumber, logs, coal, stone and other heavy articles are transported oa our western rivers in vast quantities. Coal has been transported from Pittsburg Co New Orleans at a cost for freight of one-half cent per ton per mile. About eight times less than the lowe rat as charged by railroads for transporting grain from Chicago to New York. In view of the great demand for these hevy products If H were not lor the rivers there is no knowing what tbe rallrouds would charge for freight. Hence, the water transportation question in this country is of great importance, and legislation should be in its interest. This will best help the laborlug man, because it will open the market of the world and thus increase the demand for labor. Additional railroads, wherever they are needed to create a healthy competition, and improved water navigation that will reduce the cost of freight, is demanded to enable this country to control the trade of the world. The commercial policy of England has been the reverse of that of the United States, and as a result, in South American markets, where the' United States should ba in ad vance, Eogland has almost supreme control. Upon this subject General Bussey says: 1 want to call your attention to the trade of South America, Mexico and the neighboring Islands. Here is a population of 40,000,000 whose trade should belong to us, but which is enjoyed almost exclusively by Great Britain, through the Id of her numerous havlly subsidized feleamship lines. England has pursued the policy of granting subsidies for nearly 40 years. When the Cunard line was established 87 years ago Kngland paid it fpr mall service "00,000 per annum. This was continued for 25 years, to when the amount was reduced.bat fjr the past ten years England has paid annually to her various sabiidized lines about 15,000,000, and la now maintains three lines to South America, which enables her. to control the rich trade of that country. The trade of Brazil In 1S76 was, imports S91.000.000, of which we furnished about 7,10O,ouo, while, her exports were f 100,00 ',000, of which we purchased 1 18,0O0.0O0. Of -1,003,000 bags of coffee exported that year, the United States took 2,000,000 bags, which was transported to our shore In ship belonging to foreign nations, and for. which we paid in gold. In Ave years we have paid to Brazil I25,000,000 In gold more than she has purchased of ns. It has been said that much that England sells to that country comes from the United States, and that if we sell direct to Brazl:, we will sell to England that much less. Very well; that, la precisely what I demand. A barrel of our on the dork in Liverjiool is no nearer Brazil than when it is on the dock in New Yolk, and every cent paid in freight, insurance, drayago and exchange from New York to Liverpool is taken from the pocket of the producer. The commerce of the United States was very largely carried In Ameilcan ships until the beginning of the war, when the steam tonnage belonging to this country was largely required by the government to aid in preserving the life of the nation. In 91.15 per cent, was under the Am-ilcan flag; in IKVi, 81 per cent, and In 1S6, 75 per cent., while in 1S77 but 2tt.! per cent, ot a commerce amounting to nearly fl,2OJ,000,OJO is carried in American ve.ssels We can recover the carrying trade of our commerce and aecure the trade of the countries south of us if we act wisely. The trade of the Argentine Republic, Peru and all tne 8outh American states is equally valuable, and is enJoyed by Great Britain to the name extent as Brazil. The Argentine Republic used last year 114,000,000 worth of cotton goods, of which the United States supplied f i;5,000; alt the rest by England. Bo great is tbe desire of the people of that country to have direct steam communication with the United States that five commercial firms, dolug business there, propose to give 15,0 JO each annually to aid in establishing a line between the United States and tha river Kate. General Bussey points to England's policy in the establishment of steamship lines with almost every country upon the globe, having steamship connection with more than two hundred foreign ports. To accomplish this the English government has expended many millions of dollars, and results demonstrate the wisdom of the investments. " ith some of the South American countries and Mex'ico,' General Busey remarks that "we have 'ateamshiplines f s'atlished and sustained by subsidies granted by tha respective countries, but not one dollar from our own country, except the ordinary letter postage. The 'result of the experiment with these lines 'shows that wherever we have steamship 'lines the trade of this country is in propor'tion to the steamship tonnage we furnish. This fact can be illustrated by a comparison 'with the trade of Venezuela. In 1870

we Imported from Venezuela $2,037,322 'and sold them $1,307,S33, a total trade of $3,315,145. Through the influence of a subsidy granted by that governt ent we now 'have a steamship line from New York to Venezuela, and in 1876 we imported from 'them $5,875,715, and exported $3,424,278, a total trade of $9,209,993, an increase of 2G0 'per cent, over the trade of 1870. In 1870 the 'American shipping engaged in trade with 'Venezuela was 15 vessels of 2,571 tona capao'ity,' employing 10U hands. In 1876 the American ships were 131, with 43,459 tons, employing 1,255 hands. Of our imports $4,581,475 in 1876 was coffee, and of our exports '$788,01)6 were breadstuffa, $403,280 provia'ions and $110,825 cottoa goods. The Mexican government pays for having a mail line 'of American steamships supported between 'Vera Cruz and New York, and another line 'between Vera Crua and New Orleans, also 'between Acupulco and other Paclflc-Mexl-cau ports and New York, via the isthmus of 'Panama, and from those ports to Sin Fran'cisco. We are therefore on a par with Kng'land as respects postal facilities, and the result is we divided the trade of Mexico last 'year almost equal with Kngland, and will probably exceed her this year." To secure our fair share of the trade of the world, the commercial facilities of the United States must be equal to these of any other country, and until this is done our foreign trade will languish. After referring to the commerce of Central America, the United States of Columbia, the went coast of South America, China and Japan, General Bussey says: Tli us it will be seen that wherever we have mail communication by steamers with any port of 8ou,th America, China or Japan, we are building up a trade which shows that we can compete in the markets of the world with our manufactured goods because of their superiority. Our cotton fabrics are bet ter, while our agricultural Implements and hardware is suieriorto that of auy other country. The demand for our products in those countries will Increase. Railroada are being constructed through them, and civilization will rapidly increase the demand for our goods. Nearly all tne trade we enjoy with those countries Is through the support granted by the foreign countries with which we have steam communication. Our government is doing nothing, while England, France and other foreign countries support magnificent steamship lines, which furnish mall facilities through which the business if built up. We can never hope to secure any considerable part of that trade until we furnish steamers as good and as fast as those running to England and France. Our government should grant liberal mall contracts to at least two lines from New York aud New Orleans to Brazil, and other contracts toother important countries with which it is desirable to trade. These mall lines are necessary to enable the merchant of that country "to v!sit-our market and to facilitate the exchanges aud settlements, and when we establish the ast mall line it will be followed by a freight line, and a busi-( ness will be built up which will require the departure of a ship every day from some port or the United States. The questions discussed are of vital importance to the United States and to the manufacturing interests of the whole country. The trade with the countries mentioned can ba indeRnitely increased, provided the government adopts a more liberal policy. Tbe indications are that in the near future congress will take a broader view of the subjects discussed by General Bussey. If such should be the case the result will be tbe production of more cotton and sugar, a larger foreign and home demand for the products of farm and factory, a greater diversity of labor than at present exists, and an era of prosperity for which there exists an intense anxiety.

THE FIRST Til IK G TO RE DOS E. There is not an honest man in the country capable of understanding the political situation who Is not impressed with the fact that the first great duty of the people is to drive tbe radical party from power, and byo doiDg brand tbe fraud committing and perjury cursed organization with ineffaceable condemnation. Thia patrioticduty must be performed by a majority of the people, and when it is done the people must Lee to it that tbe Florida and Louisiana game is not again successfully p'.ayed. To annihilate the radical organization in its strongholds, as we bave intimated, requires a majority. To accomplish the Work, as in Maine, the democrats fieri it eminently patriotic to combine with the nationals, and tbe two organizations, whatever may be their opinions upon other questions, agree that the first and most important duty is to smash the radical fraud, forgery and perjury producing machine. The radical party in power in this country is very much like the story of the bull in the china shop bellowing, pawing and using horns and hoefs in destroying the crockery. Evidently the proprietor would regard it prudent to expel the bull before replenishing bis stock, and it is equally prudent to assert that until tbe masculine bovine was expelled or killed, the dealer in china would abandon all other enterprises, and If necessary combine with his neighbors, no matter what might be their profession, to aid in the important work. But the bull in the china shop is after all but a poor illustration of the radical party in power, since ' at the worst the bull, while breaking tbe china, could only break the one owner, while the radical party has wrecked thousands and filled the land with pauperism and crime. And again, if it become necessary to kill the bull to cave the china, he would be worth something dead. His hide and tallow, hoofs and horns and bones could be sold and some compensation realized fcr the damage he bad done; but the radical irty living is a Ecourge, and dead is a nuisance. It is not surprising, therefore, that good people combine to drive it from power, and the vociferous applause that greeted the victory in Maine, from the center to the circumference of the country, attests the deep sealed hostility of the people to the Unevlng, lying and perjury rewarding party. We are aware tb it there are a number of important issues being discussed in every state, and both democrats and nationals, by their arguments and figures, prove beyond controversy that there can be no business prosperity, no confidence, no revival of the industries of the "country, no work and wages for working people until the radical party is completely routed, in evrry state and in every congressional district. As well talk of quiet in a family where it it known that there, is a rattle snake in the house. Every

body knows that its inmates would abandon

every employment and amusement until the reptile was killed. The music of organ and piano would be hushed instanter; the sewing machine woe id stand still, books thrown aside and every one able to wield a weapon would be ready for the work of extermination and death. It would be the first thing to bs done, and, if necessary, people from the streets, black and white, preachers and laymen, would come to the rescue of the family. The radical party in power is worse than ten thousand rattle snakes in a house, with a dozen or so of cobras, anacondas, asps, and horned toads thrown in. It has robbed the people for the unholy purptse of enriching a few Shylocks. It has stolen the revenues and increased tbe burdens of taxation. It has employed and promoted thieves when honest men needed employment, and it has rewarded with fed. eral offices a set of perjury cursed scoundrels who now not in office at the expense of the people. No wonder that the people demand the first thing to be done is to get tbe radical snake out of jwwer, out of office, and out of the white houne. Nor is it surprising that when it is necessary democrats accept the aid of the nationals in the accomplishment of the important work. But all of this does not absorb the democratic party any more than the tributaries of the Mississippi ab:orb that mighty etream. All the aid that the nationals extend to the democratic party in its patriotic work of destroying radiflism adds to the prestige of that party, and in all .justice for such services the nationals are entitled, not only to honorable mention, but to more.substantial rewards. After the radical party is kicked out of powver there will be no difficulty in assigning the nationals their true position, and we are satisfied that th'e democratic party will prove to t as liberates it is patriotic RADICALISM IS IK DIANA. Since tbe death of Morton the radical party in Indiana has been terribly rattled. It has been all mouth and tail. It has had neither head nor brains. It has blubbered like a water plug, snorted like a horse with the glanderp, brayed like an ass with a thorn bush hitched to its tail, kicked like a mule with a sore back and played the fool equal to an army of idiots, it has nominated Orth with his Venezulea i scabs and Croe with a ten j oar-old indictment hanging to him. The son of his grandfather in kid gloves is in the lead, and making about as much headway as a wild goose in a fog, while Judge Martindale has taken it upon himself to manufacture patent thunder, which reverberates over the state equal to the detonations of a shooting cracker. Under such circumstances and with such surroundings it is not surprising that the Indianapolis correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writes as follows: The great trouble with the republicans is the want ot a bold, active and aggressive leader, one worthy even to wabble around in Morton's shoes, whild on the other haud, though lacking in a distinct leadership, the democrats have assumed the offensive. They are charging at all points, and the cross rouds and school houses are being utiliced in every county and township in the state. e e 0 o The republican campaign Is being conducted very differently, and lias lost the distinctive features that made it so notable the country over during the Morton regime. A show of belligerency is telnz made upon the surface but it is emphatically a "still hunt," after the style of Uncie Samuel, alleged president. The radical party is demoralized. It Is loaded down with the most damnable record that ever fell to th lot of a political party. Hayes, the fraud, is continually advertising his infamy among prize pigs and at free hash dinners. John Sherman is steadily adding to his claims as tho most despicable character that appears in the radical rogue's gallery. With uch men in the lead, with the record of the party for years to deny or explain, the rads of Indiana are finding Jordan a bard road to travel. They can not get up any enthusiasm. Tbey seem to know that the party has been tried and that the verdict is "guilty," and the leaders have a hang-dog expression of countenance, indicative of defeit. Da. Ramfey, one of tbe returned Washington physicians who went to the south to aid in caring for the yellow fever sufferers, in an interview published some days since in the Washington Post, made some very strange assertions. He declared that he had been reliably informed that white women of Memphis had to employ colored men as nor&es or perish without assistance, and that these brutes in human shape took advantage cl their "helpless white victims." This raised a perfect storm ot indignation wherever it was heard, and threats of vengeance, should it prove true, were made. The statement was shown to Mr. Keating, editor of the Memphis Appeal, and he at once and unqualifiedly prjn011nce3.it a lie, and then adds his tribute frj the honor and bravery .of the colored people of Memphis: No man, white or black, would be allowed to breathe a second breath after such a crime became known. No such eiinie has been committed, and hit women have not leen reduced to the necessity of taking negro men, for nurses. The stement is a libel upon the negroes of Memphis. Ail honor to them! They bave done their duty. They have acttd by us not) y, ai policemen and aa noldiers, as well as nurses. Tbey have resinmded to every call made upon them, in proportion to their number, quite as promptly as the whites. A few of them threatened trouble at one time about food, but they were at the moment suppressed by a company of soldiers of their own color. Tne colored people of Memphis, as a body, deserve well of their while fellowcitlzens. We appreciate and are proud of them. Dr. Ramsey may have heard the story that he repeated, but he should have been careful as to its truth before sending it over the country to wound not only those who bad relatives in the doomed city, but every colored man and woman. Some of the tenderest nurses that ever watched by a sick bed have been those whose skins were black but whose hearts were true and kind, Many a life has been saved by the unswerving fidelity and uuceaicg care of a negro; and at such a moment tts this it is not well to return kindness ith calumny. It would be better to erase all lines of caste or color and recognize only the spirit that prompted the men and women, both black and white, to endanger their own lives to help the suffering and dying. The hands that are busy with deeds of kindness may not be white, but they are blessed when they come to the needy filled with the fullness of charity and devotion. And little reck the alck and dying whether they bo white or not if they soothe tenderly the aching brow and hold to the parching Hps tbe coveted oup of water.
