I < SATURDAY, OCT. 2, 1?7.">. .ffEFORIYV It ia an undeniable fact that the1, Rcpublican'party'of this State timing the administration of Scott and Moses had become fearfully corrupt, anet exaggerated accounts of thc ill j success of the party in this Stale was beginning to react upon the national ltepublicnn* party. Thc pledge of reform, with which the party solicited the support of thc people of this State in the last campaign have been faithfully fulfilled and translated into actions in a manner calculated to strengthen the Republican party. The .trial and verdict against Parker and thc recent conviction of Senator "Walker show conclusively that fraud and corruption is not exempt from merited punishment, though the laws are adrararefcered by Republican r?ifi .eials anti thc guilty persons of great party and personal influence, lt 4 shows that there is honesty enough left, in tlie party to hi ing about re form in its own ranks.

Thc following is an extract from an article in the National Monitor, ?and is worthy thc thoughtful perusal of' every colored man . "If they would be tchite, they have only to seize upon, the acquirements of the white man with thc hand of industry, and then do as white men do. When thc race shall have done this, it will find no occasion to be concerned about its color. The law Af equal rights gives the black man the same right to object to thc white man's color that it gives to thc white man to object to the black man's. But how} much dispositioh has the black man to raise such a foolish ob jection in the face of the God bc. pro fesses to serve? Just so much dis position, and no more, will thc white man have to object to the color of thc black man when, in intelligence, wealth and piety the black man be comes what htfonght.to be.

In accepting your' resignation, I am not unmindful ol' Lhe fact that about thc time of the meeting of Congress, one year ago, j you slated to me that you felt the ne cessity of retiring from the Cabinet, I and asked whether i would prefer your resignation, so as to have your] successor confirmed by thc Senate at thc last session, or whether i would prefer it in vacation. My answer I was, that I preferred not having it at j all. That, was my feeling at the lime ; and I now believe that you have iii loci every public trust confided to you with ability and integrity. 1 sincerely trust thal thc future will place you right in thc estimation ol' the public, and that you will continue to ciijo}7 its confidence as you have done through so many years of ol]i cial life.

But this is not all. They have been robbed not only of their money, but largely ol' theil ability to acquire more. W ith their money went their health. Tens of thousands are annually sent to a pre mature grave, while others are left to carry about a little longer an unburied carcass. And with money and health went reputation. Once these men had a good name among their neigh bors-some of them, indeed, a woi Id wide reputation. Now their presence creates a loathing, and with all classes their name is cast out as evil. And still thc work goes on. Money and health and reputation might be spared if on?y character were left. Put these great robbers filch not these alone. They seize what is infinitely more precious-they rob their victims of their manhood, ol' their intelli gence, Integrity and affection ; and having despoiled them ol' all these their precious things, they leave their name to rot and their memory to perish.

How lo make country life socially helpful and pleasant in winier is a timely ?pioslion now.

Wo think thc plan which has been adopted by some of tin; (1 ranges, to organize a lillie pleasure in the midst of business, a very sensible one. innocent recrea tion can hardly have better auspices than these ottered, and if something looking toward culture ami mental entertainment should bc added, thc result would bc still further fruitful of good. To our mind, there is nothing equal to a well arranged debating club or reading circle; anil where a paper is edited and read weekly, the interest excited is usually as edifying as it is salutary. There is hardly any country district which cannot bc helped in this way, and it only wants I one or two energetic spirits who snail take thc brunt of thc battle to make' any one or all of thc suggested plans sin CCSsful.
