W, H. H. Davis. That paper pointedly remarks: If we were to ask them for their votes, we should not get them, and .were we thus to demean . oursclves, we should receive their contempt as well as our own, and we would besides be the laughing stock of our political encmics. . Then, the only course left us to pursue, to be-consistent with our é)rin(:ipl'es, ten thousand times proclaimed, is'to ignore the negro .vote entirely, disclaiming any intention of seeking to control it, and appeal solely to the white men of the country for suppert.— In making out this policy, we would not have a straw ladl in the way of the black inai evercising the vight of suffrage in the Jullest and freest manner possible. 'The ne aroes are not th:{blame that. the ballot has beén put into thieir hands, They did not ask for .it, if we except a few ambitious ones, and now that they have got it, they have as many doubts as ever about their - ability to exercise it with judgemnt,— We, then, advise the Democratic party of this State to appeal to the white yote for support. As heretofore, we will' remain the white man’s party, and unless.wo are greatly mistaken,: theappeal will not be made in vain, e ¢ Upon_ which thie Mobile Register comments tkhusely : ‘“Lhis counsel is sound to

But we will not des mean ourselves and weaken our own strength in his eyes by stopping either tobeg for his vote, or to condnct the political campaign on the ecdges of a mongrel platform. The white strength is enough for' all the purpases of a complete victory. We emdsculate that strefigth every time that t@'fébfiut'a black streak in our white | - piatform, ‘The true policy is to concentrate the white‘power on a white basis, And a solid white front presented to the negro, is a more powerful argument than all the concessions that can be made to J conciliate ‘him and all ‘the -persuasions © thatcan be addressed to his head or heart.” L — -W—- -, ‘New York-Official. .

e ettt e ' Some time since, Gen. Hancock wrote to Licutenant General Sherman, inquiring why he was not promoted to the position. made vacant by the death ofi@e Im as, which belonged to him in théordd¥of precedence. His letter was showa to President Grant, who sh’d th tanog of the reply. Shortly afterwards, Gen. Hancock received from tbe Licutenant Gieneral.a curt answer couched in the folloging insulting terms : ; “] am requested by the President to in-

Torm you that there is nothing in your personal relations t6° Gen. Grant, or in your official relations to' his administration, that could justify your prometion now, or lead you to expect it hereafter.” Thie, says the. New Albany Ledger, is characteristic of the man who now occupies the Presidential cbair. He is possesscd of a narrow-contracted soul, *hat never reaches beyond a gifs enterprise, or a member -of his family. Nepotism and selfishness compose Lis entire political principles; outside of that he belongs to the Radical Congress. (teneral Hancock is'a brave and accomplished officer, and. was justly entitled to the position, but we ‘presume that he had no corner lots or fast horses to put in the family lottery,— No other President than Grant would have thus gratified his personal malignity 1 at the expense of officia! decorum. Any | other President, even if he could have acted op so ignoble a motive, would had the decency to veil it under the specious forms of official etiquette. An answer might casily have been made to General Hancock, which, while it extinguished his hopes, would not have stung his pride or wounded his sensibilities. But this Congresgional President could not restrain the opportanity of offering a personal affront to a distinguished brother officer, and a gentleman. Even it Grant had detergined to ignore the just claims o 7 this officer, why should he thus descend to personal insult ; ‘not-only shutting the door against Gen. Hanecock, but slamming it rudely in his face ? It must have been 1 innate meanncss that prompted thle act? ‘A dispatch from Sioux City, lowa, in- | forms us that Gen. Hancrck. who arrived there an the 3d inst., asserts the allegations against him to be “in the main false, and says that he Intends to take an early occasion after having scen what has been published in reference to this subject, while absent on the upper Missouri, to formally reply to the allegations, as charg ed, in detail, they seeming to bear the impress ‘of the sanction of autherity, and this: cccasion being the first opportunity presenited that warranted a formal reply to such allegations. Gen. Hancock was not aware of the publication of the dis patches, or snny part of them, correct or incorrect, as published, nor the origin or ‘cause of their publication, until he receiv ed the newspapers contairing them two days since at Fort Randall, and therefore is fiot conversant with all that has gained credence during his absence.” | The Chieago Tribune om Morton. ' A number of our republican exchanges rest quite uneasy under the sharp criticism ‘to which Senator Morton hasof late been -subjected by that able paper, the Chicago Tribune. That our readers may more readily understand the cause of this uncomfortableness among radical ‘editors, we iquot‘e_thei following from the ZTribune's ‘review of the recent debate in the Senate on the bil] to enforce the fiftcenth amendment: ; - On the one side, Stewart, Morton, Drake ‘and C. meron—on the other, Warner, Sawyer, Johnson and Revels -the former for war, the latter for peace. When it comes to pass that ‘carpet-baggers’ and colored senators are to be read out of the republican party because they are not suf ficiently fierce and relentless against the ‘ex rebels, it is time for all républlcans to examine the ground they stand on. Tt is easy to see what motive governs such individuals as Morton and Drake. Blood and thunder istheir stock in trade. When the season of war, proscription, animosity and adarchy comes to an end, they will be out of employmens. But they may go out of employment sooner than they exEect.fi The people of Indiana and Missouri re not for| blood and thunder any longer than ie necessary; and when Senator Revels, of Mississippi, says that the war is ended, and when Senator Warner, of Ala bama, says that the continuance of political disabilities is the cause of disturbance of the peace at the'South, the people of the Northern States will believe them in preference to such individuals as Morton and Drake, : 3 i

It is astonishing to notice the weak efforts of the “smaller lights” in their anxiety to come to the rescue of their unprincipled leader in this-State. Who will have the temerity to say that the above remarks are not true in every particular? No one having & proper regard for honesty and truth will undertake to gainsay the Tribune's statement. Why. then denounee that journal for discharging a duty that every candid editor should take upon bimself ? g ' / e — /How the Radicals Economize. .The republican press of Indiana claim great credit for thejalleged reduction of the State debt under radical administration. Senator Morton, in his famous 32d of February speech, had a great deal to say on this subject, and made a desperate effort to convince the people of the truthfulness of these radical pretensions. In his masterly speech at Vincennes, Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks met these pretenses with the following conclusive argument : In 186(1,‘ the. last year of Gov. Willard’s administratior, the tax levy for State purposes was|fifteen cents on each one hundred dolvlibrs, and fifty cents on each poll ; and, in 1865, in Gov. Morton’s administration, the levy was twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollary, and seventyfive cents on each poll. : In 1860, the expenditures for State pur?opes proper, amo'nnted_ to 311?.820, and n 1865 to $301,339, being an increase of $171,618. This statement is of State ex: penditures proper, and does not include :ny‘war or other extraordinary expendiures, : :

It will also be borne in mind not only that the rate of taxation in 1865, was 40 per cent. greater in 1860, but that the taxable - property had greatly increased in the meantime. With both the rate of taxation and the taxable property increased, and the currency greatly inflated, isit & matter of boast that large sums of mon. ey were realized from the people and that a part thereof was applied in payment of the debt? = ;

The line is to be com- ’ pleted in five years. . Among the incorpo- t rators are ?eter Coopér, Moses Taylor, ’ Wilson G. Hunt, and, Professcr Morseo—., The Senate passed the larger part of the day in executive session, and considcred] the Sandwichi Islands Reciprocity treaty. In the evening sessiop“the President's vote of the bill for the relief of Rollin White was debated, and tbe bill was passed over the vote by the requisite twothirds vote; yeas 41, nays 13. This is the first of the vetoes of President Grant | that has been spurned by Congress. The } feature of the proceedings in the House | of Representatives was the killing ofl Lynch's Shipping bill. During the de | bate, in which an angry passage of words | be}wacn Schenck and ILynch - oceurred, : the bLill was materially amended, and i | nally, on a motion to read a third time, it was virtually defeated for the session by i a vote of 60 to 109 Tt was then recom. | mrtted. ‘ ; ! WEDNESDAY, June 1 — The Senate considered and passed the bill to change the ° judicial circuits and then went into exe- J‘ cutive session on the Sandwich Island treaty, which they rejected by a vote of ! 20to 19. In the House of Represcntatives ! Butler asked consent to introduce his ‘ joint resolution to annex San Domingo | but Mr. Brooks, as usual, objected. | The Honse debated at length the bill to reduce 1 internal taxes, and an interesting discus., sion was had upon the proposal to aholish ' the income tax. Butler remarked that if Congress neglected to remove the tax the “places that now knew them would know most of them no more forever.” (Amen ! from Sam. Cox.) Anamendment by Mr. Oox to reducéthe rate from 5 to 3 per cent. was rejected by two majority. Mr. Haw- | ley moved to increase the exemption from | $l,OOO to $2,500. Withont disposing of the amendment the House adjqutued. | ‘TrurspAY, June 2.—ln the Senate) the day -was passed in discussing the Indian appropriation bill, and the discussion of the former was continued through the evening eession.without arriving at any conclusion. The House continued the discussion of the income tax bill. An amendment was offered by Mr. Morgan levying a tax of 5 per cent.on incomes derived from bonds of every description, notes, and mortgages of over $l,OOO and under $lO,OOO, % pei' cent. between ¢lO,000 and $30,000, and 8 per cent. above £30,000. . S Fripay, June 3.—ln the Senate, Mr. Trumbull endeavored to get up the bill for the apportionment of repiesentatives in’ congress among the several states. He urged its importance in view of the late large increase of voting population by the accession of the colored element, necessitating a change in the representation of the various states, The taking of the census, which was now proceeding, and the increase of population in fhe west, were additional reasons for these changes.; In the House, Mr. Cox’s amendment to the tax bill which reduces the income tax 3 per cent. was adopted, as was also amendments making the exemption $2,000, and limiting house rents! to $500." After an ‘tfiiin:ated discussion, Mr. Beck's amendment to tax the interest on all United States bonds was rejected. © The. last section of ‘the Dill was under discussion when . the House adjourned. i SATURDAY, June 4.—ln the Senate, Mr. Ramsey reported from the Pacific

railroad committee a bill to ‘encourage the construction of the International Pacific railroad of Texas, | containing no appropriation of land cr money. ‘The Indian appropriation bill, came up at the expiration of the morning hour and occupied the session. The house proceeded to the consideration of the bi’l-l} to reduce taxation. The final section was agreed to, and then Mr. Schenck offeted, as an amendment, the section relating to tariff. He stated that the amendment was offered on bhis own responsibility, and not by order of the committe on ways and means. ‘He modified the amendment in various

particulars, comprising the following :— Reducing the duty on tea to 15 cents per pound, on_ coffee to 3 cents per pound.— The date An the first section 1s amended to rst of January in 1871. Hestated he reduction of revenfie by these changes at $20,000,000, and that of the internal revenue at $40,000,000. He moved the previous question on the first sections.— No final action was reached. i "MoNDAY, June 6.—Thé house amended the bill reducing taxation, by adding to it the rest of the Schenck tariff bill, and then passed it, Thirty-five. democratic members, who were opposed to the features of the latter raising the Cuties on steel rails, voted against the bill as thus amended. The total of taxation reduced by the bill, through customs and excise duties, amounts in round numbers to about $40,000,000. It is still believed that the senate finance committee will fa-

vor thg Sherman substitute, by this measure reducing internal taxation $50,000,000, and let the tariff go-over till next session. The reduction of duties, howeyer, does nat go into effect in the house bill till Dec. 31. Mr. Schenck, chairman of the commiftee .on ways and means, reported a bill to authorized the funding and consolidation of the national debt, and other purposes. Recommitted, and ordered printed. It authorizes the issue of $1,000,000,000 of coupons and register: ed 80 year bonds, redeemable in coin, bearing 4 per cent. coin interest, principal and interest to be exempt from all federal, state, municipal, or local taxation.

It is therefore fitting and proper that on this .oceasion 80 appropriately set apart for these cer‘emonies we should desist from'our ordinary. avocations and assemble our—selves here to'do honor to the noble dead who sacrificed their lives for the perpetuation of our government,and themselves perished : that our national . life might not be bletted jout of 'existence ferever. ; : ' ; It becometh us well that we have left behind for a time the cares and perplexities of business, have withdrawn from the din and turmoil of busy life and with: ‘measured tread marched to the solumn music of muffled drum to this “silent City of the dead,” here tolift our hearts in humble gratitude to God for the preservation of our lives, our constitutional liberty, and for that full measure of happiness that is yet ours. Ilere to bow our heads whilst reverent invocation is made to Him whose fatherly hand has safely gnided_ our beloved eountry through all the tempestuous sé¢enes and dangers of the past, to vouchsafe unto us and our now peaceful land His con‘tinued and prepetaal blessing. Here to sing a _equiems over the graves of the patriot dead, to decorate their last resting places with the first fresh flow“ers of Spring, and speak of that match--less patriotism which prompted them to forego the pleasure of home and the society of family and friends, to endure for & time the danger of camp and field ‘ and then to die in défence of their country. : 1 ~ i Most heartily do I wish that I could: say something worthy of an oceasion so fitting, <o’ happily conceived and well chosen as this. Most heartily do T wish that I could find expressions and illustrations in any, degree commensurate with the varied theme which this scene and ocearion suggests; or that I could apply’to cach the lesson of this hour, with that foree and profit which <o appropriately belongs to it. We are earried back in memory to that period when the late eivil war which brought death and desolation to so many houscholds fitst burst wpon us with ail - its rude realities. We have fresh in our minds again the determined countenances of those' whose memory we this day commemorate, as théy went forth in defence of that flag which afterwards became their winding -sheet, and their brave words of parting still linger on our ears. We refleet with just pride how, when treason raised its ruthless hand against the government of our fathers, and egsayed the dismemberment of the Union of these States, these brave men caught up the spirit of their heroic ancestors, forsook their homes and friends, braved the untried hazards of the fierce and firey contest, and counted not the value of their lives, in order that the integrity of the Union.and supremaey of the law might be maintained. ‘“Heroes then arose, g Wil seorning coward self, for others lived, Toiled i'urt}u-iroz;x.-\-,:\,nul for their safety bled? Emerged from a fierce and acrimoni= ous political contest in .which the passions of men had been aroused to a tension almost dangerous to contemplate. When the startling intelligence flashed

over the country that treason had assailed our flag at Fort Sumpter, we beheld these patriotic men bury their political feeling and party predilections, and rising up to the highest plane of patriotism and-Jove of country united in one unalterable purpose to rescue and preserve that flag and hand it down to future generations in all its beauty and glory, the ensign and emblem of an undivided Union. We saw the patriotic American, his Dreast aflame -with the spirit of liberty, quit his easy independent walk of life; his ‘shop, his farm, his office and hiz eounting-house, and with high hope and anxious thought prepare for the. deadly conflict.. We saw the brave devoted German, who had left his home, his kindred and the friends of his boyhood in the fatherland, ‘and by his intelligent industry made for himself a new home around which clustered the fondest affections of his heart, bid adieu to wife and children; ready tq do battle for his adopted land. We saw the brave and generous son of Erins Isle —who, driven from his own native land by the oppressors yoke, rather than suf--fer the slavery of tyrany—lleft the secnes of his childhood, sought our kindly shores and here miade his home—leave all the associations and endearments of that home, and ‘with pliant step, with strong arm and brave heart stood him in the foremost rank to fight for his adopted country. e saw the patriotic citizens of our land of every name and nationality, whether native or foreign born, stand shoulder to -shoulder in the conflict, battling nobly under our starry banner, mingling their blood upon every battle field of the South. Citizens, does song or story. tell of prouder, purer patriotism than this? Does not your hearts swell with pride at even this brief anl imperfect mention of the heroism of those whose valor shall for all time give glory to our.country’s history. If this,and like occasiongshall serve to keep fresh 1&1 our minds and “transmit to future generations the memory of patriotism so pure and lofty as was then exhibited, it 'vill be well that as often as the successive jseasons usher _in the early Spring time, we come here ‘ and with prayer, and song and speech, -commemorate the meniory of tho fallen, ~and here over their graves pledge anew our devotion toour country and our flag. ’ We remember too, this day, how thro’ | all those many years during which the - war continued, and through all its varying fortunes, these patriotic men stood firm and true for the canse which wasin their keeping; hqw, notwithstanding ~behind them were murmurings, dissen‘sions and bitter - political strife, they pressed unitedly f%r\va:d, encounteringsometimes: defeat, disaster’ and death, but always with an unalterable’ determination to turn neither to the right hand nor to the left’ until the victory over their country’s enemies had been attained. Amid ‘all the murmurings, dissensions and heart burnings that prevailed at home, they stood between their homes.and the enemy, united, unmoved, with unabated zeal, amid all the dis-, couragements and Ifaintiggs of heart at home, they were confident, hopeful, brave, with no rankling jealousies to distract them, and no strife save'a com.mandable emulation to do most deeds of daring in their country’s canse. Iconceive it to be ameng the first honors of these men.that they refused to be the champi;)fis of any faction.— They were the chieftaing of their counry’s cause, which they adopted as their own. : They knew it ‘was a. life ; strugile. for the existence of the nation. . /They knew that-tl%? claim: put forward by their enemies was the overthrow of . the government and the establishment of another ‘ugon}‘its- ruing; and they well knew and: understood that their first great and only business was to vanquish the armed foe whostood in hostile array before c%égm: In the nature of their - cause they were highly instructed, firm1y united, and¥resolute in its defense. For it they endured ithe toils of wearl-" some marches, sometimes cold and sick; ; and pinched with hunger, again sufferir:'% with heat, and almost famishing for drink; but'thro‘_ugih the heat of summer and the inclemineies of winter, with un~ ‘abated ardor. and unshaken persever=: ance, they pressed steadily on. For it what tract of Southern country. has not ‘been marked wit&; “their t;iea? ? What ground have ,Hefir _not cut with trenches? What hill have they mot covered with r%idubts ? What Southern plain has not been. the scene of their sapguinery SNy s g But to all thesg toils the brave men, whose memories we this day celebrate, have added their all—theirlives. They hagmfuuen%&hn ontest! some of them sank in the long laborious march'; some hy the insidious feverof thecamp some

have fallen when advancing to the conW‘m hope, flushed with suc€sB, With the shouts of victory faintly ringing in their 'ears, some have died the vigims of rentless missils of death ! Here Bne, the pride of his parents and joy of his Kindred, his young heart b@tillgi%»“'ifll hope for the future—whose' alric courage and deveted patriotism was the admiration of his fellows--leading on his conirades to battle, fell at Triune and. yielded .up his young life to the service of his doungry. dHere one, ripe above' his ¥ears in ~%cgrniugw full z‘Qf:uJLQ?&flfl romise, he support of an aged mothér, went down to death amidst the clash of arms, at Joneshoro, just before the coveted victory perched uponhis country’s banner. All saerificed their: lives upon their country’s altar, and offered up their all in its defence.. Can our poor words portray the magnitude of an offering like this? or can we pay a tribute to their memory equal fo their worth ? Gty Db i As we here gather around the graves of those whose bodies have been laid away here, to “sleepthe sleep that knows no waking,” and with veneration view their tombs, let us not forget the many brave comrades whose sleeping dust reposes in far off distant lands. ' Many, many an one, who in the prime of life and vigor of manhood : went “from our midst, summoned to duty in the hour of our rcountry’s peril, whosé place is now vacant at the , fireside, fell nobly batling for our starry flag, now sleeps his Tast long sleep in an unuumbered and almostunknown grave. No kindly hand will weave about his grave, this day, affection’s wreath, nor mother's tear moisten the earth that shelters his sleeping dust. Oh! comrades; let your hearts linger back to some well remembered spot where, after the deadly conflict of the day, vou gave. rude burial to a fallen® brother. Remember hoy, at dead of night, with heavy heart “and weary limbg, you made huried preplaration: and laid him ‘in an honored, ‘thnugh scarcely marked grave, - I : - “Nota drum was heard—not a funeral note,

“As his corse o'er the ramparts we hurried: - Not a soldier discharged a farcwell shot, - .| O’er the grave where the hero was buried. Allover the fertile plains of the Sunny South, dn every hill, in every valley; gleeps away their mouldering - dust, waiting for that appointed call which .shall summon us'all to our final'aceount before the throne of -God. Théir toils are-ended, their marches done, - They - lived not to sce their labor crowned with victory or hear the Nation's plaudits ringing o'er the land, when dove=\\‘ingefi peace spead her joyous pinions over our traghled heads; but let us hope that o that great day when every battle-field, \\?hmfiiill and valley, earthand sea, shall give back their dead, they and Wl} shall shout a victory gained, and enter into ‘and enjoy “a peace which passeth all understanding.” ol ~Whatever is -in our power to 'do toshow our admiration of the patriotism, our devotion to the cauze and our respect for the memory of these men, let us do. Letus teach our children whose graves these are, and how those swho slumber here bravely, mobly . died. lLet us, often as the Spring-time comes, répair to this hallowed spot and over theirgraves make reverent mention of their ‘names, and tegch fair hands with garlands te enwreath their tombs. - “Soldier, rest—thy warfare’s o'er; s : ~_Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking: Dream of battle-fields no mpre, . : - Days of danger, nights of waking." ; - IMaving paid that feeble respect tg the memory of the fallen heroes that time and opportunity afforded, it-re-“mains that we say a word fo those who ‘have been deprived of a father, bereaved ofa son, or who-have lost a brother ior husband in the contest. And here, citizens, I make no apology that I'have borrowed the eloquent words so- fitly spoken .over , the graves. of ‘Warren, Montgomery and otTmrs. who fell inour revolutionary struggle. s B Fathers and mothecrs! whose heroic sons hade offered up their lives in the contest, itis yours to recollect that their lives were given for the service of their country. Dismiss every shade of grief.You are happy in having been the pro- | genitors of him whose name is written | with the heroes of his country. Children! whose heroic fatliers have carly left you, and in the conflict of the war have mixed -with departed heroes, be congratulated on the, fair inheritance of fame which you are entitled to possess. Wedespise the uninstrueted mind of that man who shall obtrude upon our cars the idea of a vain ancestral honor, but we leve the youth and transfer to him the reputation. of “his father, who, when the rich and haughty citizen shall frown upon him as ignobly descended, shall say : “I had a father who has fallen in defense of his country.” - ° ‘When aftertimes shall speak of.the renown of these meén who hawe fallen in this war, they will iceollect and set in -order every circumstanee, the eauges of the war, the early and just exertions of the brave—their & toils; hazardous achievements, mnoble resolution, unshaked : perseverence, unabated ardor, hope -in the hour: of discouragement,. their triumphs in victory.
