The White Rase of the Soil the Friend of 1 the Golosed Man. Gov. Walker, of Virginia,saw very plainly that extreme Radicalism meant the ruin of every indgetrial pursuit, and a rule inconsistant with every element of the public welfare. . What the South needed was not recon- . struction but restoratiop, And this' iq all that the highest interests of the country required. ' Gov. Walker, therefore, united with the intelligence and character of Virginia, and with % the-people of all classes, and irre.!i spective eithor of color or theretofore ' political differences, for the purposes of good government and an honest administration of affairs. The result was his triumphant election. And, , to-day, Virginia foels the blessing of. being delivered from a away of igno rance, receklessness, corruption and ox travagauico. If there has been one feature more prominent than any other, among our ' people, eine the close of the war, it i bas been the desire to assist in the I elevation of the colored race, in at- ] tainement, olvilization and progress. I Stavery, not the original institution of the South, but of the North, hav. I ing disappeared atlid the convulsions 9 of war, the people of the South were ready. and prepared to recognise its abolition, and to ask alone, (all-rights being soecured) that good government should ensue. . But Radicalism inter vened, tore away-the olive branch of peace, and 'ndeavored to create a hdatility of race. This, in a measure, succeeded. But there are signs that- this delusion is near at an qnd. We havo .o'vei as-. setk4d, that the colored.rabe in South t Carolinp have at hliirt, in truth, not better fribndi the& tha whitit radelofI our own soil.

VOTH BY BALLOT IN ENGL.AND. After many years of apparently inef rectual efort there seems to be a Dhance for the ballot in Great Bri. ain. On Wednesday evening, after & debate of considerable keenness it was agreod that the Vote by Ballot ill should be road a second time, and hit on the 34 of May the Hotee hould go into committee. on the third -eading. Attempts .ere made tg. tave the debateadjobrned'but a'io ion to this effeet was defeated by' a najority of one hunderd and ten. A aajority so sweeping gives us good iope that the bill, will have 1ittle lifioulty in gettiog through the Com nons. It is thus that America pro. sets herself in Europe. The United states Achool system has grown im. neneely in favor both in France and 'ngland. The ballot is peculiarly toerican. We cannot say that the Pallot box has secured to us iurity of lection.

He directed the negotiation of the treaty, taking earo to procure the assent of the inbubi tants as woll as of the Government of the Dominican Republic to its provi. sions, nnd to the incorporation of that Republic with the American Union. Surprised at the hesitanov of the Senate and still more so at tlie oppo sition of the Republican Committee cn Foreign Affairs, he had taken te unusual step of a persanal appeal to Senators in behalf of his favorite project., He visited the Senate Cham per, occupied the Presidentl's room, ad sending for leading members stat rd to then very freely and earnestly his reasons for muaking the tieaty and fer.. urging its ratification. What offect, his appeal will have no one seems to sea; for the Senatemwill take up the treaty on Wedriesday. Moab.. while, we fdd that a number of mem bers heretofore supposed to. be ad verse to the treaty will support it.. If the Vresident can carry any one nheasure of importance, which be nay call his own, during his tormr, It will be this. The President 'argues' that if -we are even to have a foothold in the An. tikles,- this is the opportunity to ob tain It. Now it may be had without war, and at but a trifling expense. As 'to the St. Thomas purchase he cares little for it in cotuparision with this acquisition, for it is of more im. portaneo than St. Thomas, and besides that was the projcct of the preceding Administration, and this is his own. 3 Dominlca -possesses two thirds of the islied of St. Domingo, while its population is much smaller than that of Hayti. The President urges that if we do not accept the o0'r of Do. minica and ths protect it from the merciless ravages and crue despotism of Hayti, Rngland or some other for. eign power will do it. and do it pro. perty in the name of justice and hu manity. The aequisition of Domini ca is valuable from its mineral and agricultural resources, and still more so from its strategie position. Its value is vastly greater-thap that of Alaska and St. Thomas put to. gether. It is even suggested as the opinion of the President and others that it is worth more to us than Cuba would, though we are ready to give for the latter a hundred millions.

At the delightful re-unions weekly givon by her in Paris, the most distinguiahed among the cultiva ted in art or literature could be met; and many favored Amerioans remem bar with pride and pleasure the on viable fame of her salon.

The value was found too lo.w. The price she had set upon lir heart was higher still. Sterling worth, in virture in vulnerable, atd a name beyond re proach, alone could reach her Ideal. While disinterested friends urged the acceptance of a titld, with millions to support this dignity, and were awaiting bthe ainswer to prepare a fp .iugfesti vity for the announomont of suoh distinguished engagement--lo!

An ex-privato of the 30th Regiment, Massaohuetts volunteers, writes to the Salen Massachusettfs Observer (a radioal sheet) as follows : If the Congressman Whittemore, who recently resigned his seat in face of a motion to expel him for bribery and corruption, is the samo person who under the name of 1. F. Whittemore noted as chaplain of the 30th Regi mert Alassachusetts Veteran Volun teers, I have a word to say to the public in answer to the statement in Saturday's Observer, that he had no wrong intentions and that he is sueh an excellent and well meaning man. Inspired b.y a btrong sympathy for this Republic in Its recent death struggle with the worst of despotisms, I left my native country (Holland) in oompany with several other young men and joined the ranks of the Northern army as a private soldier in the regimont before mentioned, Mr. Whittemore, who was chaplain, noted also as postinaster of the regi ment, and repeatedly demanded and received of imto and my comrades 50 to 75 cents for every letter mailed by us for Europe and committed to H'is charge. To none of these letters did either of us ever receive a reply ; being gnorant of the language, and having been taught in iny own country to repose entire confidence in mecn of his profession, I never doubted his hones ty until my company was ordered to Darlington, South Carolina, when T got a few days furlough to Charleston, iBouth Carolina, %n hero I mailed a let ter home to IHolland .nd was surprised to find the postage :was only 21 cents. I erpressed my surprise to the postoffico clerk, yh assurcd tuo that there was no. mistake, and that if I had paid more to anybody before, I had been cheated. I will add that, I received, to my great joy, an answer in 6,days. 1 could give many instances slow ing his entire want of truth, but the above will suffice. Duuc T.UPKmN.
