TT BEAD!-The Chicago Eaening 'Post, a fair specimen of thc Grant and Colfax press, thus de? scribes an Irishman : "Ho has hair on his teeth. Ho never know an hour in civilized, soci? ety. Ho never stepped on anything more solid than a dirt floor all his life, until ho stood on the deok of an emigrant ship. He is a born savage as brutal a ruffian as an untamed Indian of tho North American tribes. Of coarse, he can't read. He can't -write. Ail books to him. are sealed. He only believes in the priest; and the priest is only a little less a barba? rian than he. "Be Jasus, I'm a Dem rnecrat," is his shibboleth. Break? ing-heads for ' opinion's sake is his practice. The . porn criminal and pauper of the civilized world, and, | withal, the innocent victim of the, state-craft of England and of the] priest-oraf fc of Homo-a wronged, abased and pitiful spectacle of a man oapable of better things pushed straight to hell by that abomination against common-sense called the Catholic religion, and that outrage apon political decency falsely known as American Democraoy-what else does he know? To oompare him with aa intelligent freedman would be an insult to tho latter." Aud yet there are some Irishmen base eaough to support the infamous party of which the Evening Post is one of the orgaus. They are few, indeed, but they will be remembered. They are a disgrace to the laud that | gave them hirth, and deserve all 'the denunciation which is heaped apon them by their indignant countrymen. Ninety-nine-hundredths of tho Iriab of America are zealous supporters of Seymour and Blair, and this accounts | for the foul-mouth abuse of tho Even? ing Post and its coadjutors. The Chicago Tribune contains a communication, with reference to the above, from an Irish Presbyterian, who says: "Such articles as that which ap? peared in the Post will do moro to convert honest Republicans and to place them in tho ranks of tho De? mocracy than all tho speeches that could be delivered. I, for one, intended to support the Republican tioket nt the coming election. As an Irishman, I cannot allow my coun? trymen io be slandered and hold myself aloof. Henceforth, I shall bo found in the conservative ranks-an advocate of toleration, which my re? ligion teaches, and a supporter of Irish manhood abroad, and of Irish right to national independence the Irish soil." ACCIDENT TO THE KINO OF ITALY. King Victor Emmanuel recenly had a narrow escape from death whilst fol? lowing a chevreuil in a mountain pass. Suddenly tho king found his progress impeded by a mass of rook which appeared impassable. Unde? terred by its formidable aspect, Victor Emmanuel put his foot on it, but tho snow" with which it was covered, rested on a m..ss of ice, which his weight gradually displaoed. A shepherd a few yards below him, perceiving the sportsman's imminent danger, scrambled np the rock, aud caught him by the back of his shoot? ing coat, aud thas saved his life from certain destruction. His Ma? jesty took off his hat to the poor! shepherd, and on the spot banded him 1,000 Bcudi. He has einco then settled a pension on him for life. A young lady, near Hampton, Vir? ginia, was held by one negro aud outraged by another, on Thursday last. Th? miscreants ara confined ia the military prison. Judgo Lynch will be forcea to open his court, as these outrages are bocomiag frequent throughout the country. SOUND ADVICE TO NEG KO VOTERS. ?en'eral J. B. Gordon, of Georgia, ?n a recent speeoh at Charleston, thus addressed the negro voters pre? sent: In the few words I shall say to you, my friends, if you will listen to me, I hope to deni with you candidly and honestly. The radicals havo told you that the Southern people wero your enemies; but, believe me, this is not co. I was opposed to your freedom. [Laughter.] Wo were all opposed to your freedom. Now, that's honest, isn't it? ["Yes; that's so," from tho crowd.] And why was this so? I'll tell you. Wo did not do this because we were your enemies, but because wo had bought you ?nd paid our money for you. [Great laughter*] You be? longed to the Northern people once, and some people think you belong to them now, in the Loyal League. It was the Northern States that sent to the shores of Africa and captured and brought your fnthers to the North; and, when your labor be? came unprofitable, they sold you to the Southern people. The carpet? baggers will tell you that the North brought on the war to free you. Lot me ask why didn't they fri o you when they owned you? You might then have been born free, and might now bavo owned the forty acres which the lying Tasc?is promised you. I say that they did not wage tho war to free you, and no honest soldier who participated in it will say so. The idea never was enter? tained. General Grant himself at ono time threatened to quit the ser? vice if you wero freed. Thoy set you free because they wanted to uso you-not from any love they boro you. And now they tell you that we are your enemies. Havo wo not been born on the same soil? Aro not our interests identical? Have we not grown up together, and havo not our fathers been buried under tho same sod? Why then, are we your enemies? You have been told to arm your? selves against the whites. J Cries of ''No.no. "J Well, I am glad to hear it. What would bo the result of ar? raying tho two races? A contest will come which will bo a war of races; then, which race must triumph? You are in the majority, on the sea? board, and could destroy many peo? ple. But, my friends, lot me tell you the moment the war of race* is inau? gurated, that moment the death war? rant of tho black man, on this conti? nent, is signed. There are 3.000.0?C of your race and 40,000,000 of white men. Now, I ask you, in all reasoD, what raco must go down? The speaker then alluded to the as Bertion of Helper, who said that be foro tho year 1872 no black man wil; have a habitation on this continent. lu quoting this, tho speaker said: Ho says so because of speculation, Lands aro scarce in tho North, thej have a surplus of labor, and they de siro to blot out your race, in ordei that they might come hero, take pos session of tho pince and cultivate th< land. The Indian onco lived when you now live, but whero is ho now' Ho couldn't live in peaco with th< white men, and he went to war. Th? few scattering mounds that aro lei in the State speak the result. Now this ia what Helper says must bi your fate, and, most singular to re lato, a largo majority of tho radien members of Congress are subscriben to his book and are giving it circula tion. Now, I speak plainly. If you an disposed to livo in peaco with th< white people, they extend to you thi hand of friendship. But if you at tempt to inaugurate a war of races you will be exterminated. Tho Saxoi race was never created by Almight; God to be ruled by tho African These aro truths. Wo want peao with you. Wo cannot livo a3 enc mies. Ono or tho other must g down. If you turu a deaf ear to th Southern mon, these green leaves tho now clotho tho forest will not groi red with another autumn before the will be drenched with your blood an mine. Whon you hear a radical tullun I about the people of tho South wantin to renew the war, just ask him wha I Gen. Grant meant when he wrot ! this to tho President: "I am satisfied that the mass' < thinking men of the South accet. the present situation of affairs 1 good faith.

MACH Bcciria to require a tonio stimulant. From timo, whereof tho memory of man runneth not to the contrary, tonic bitters havo been used. Formerly, men made their own bitters, and few thought of eat? ing breakfast without first taking their "tansy." Thoso were days, however, when prohibitory lawBwero unknown, and, in consequence, liquors wero pure. Deal? ers could then afford to ho honest and eoll nothing but tho unadulterated; Now, however, what with Government ifcax and court flues, poko-berry juico and alcohol must pase mustor for "old ryo" and "puro Bourbon." People havo como to fear poisoning moro than malarial diseases, and dropped thoir "tansy." Bight hore is where HOSTETTER & SMITH, of Pitts? burgh, havo proven benefactors. Years ago, they commenced tho manufacturo ol HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, laying it down as a rulo (that has Bince been conscientiously followed) to uso no? thing but the purest liquor?, manufac? tured expressly for them. By strict adhe? rence to thiB rulo, they havo won public confidence and reaped their reward in s large, profitable and steady business, Their BITTERS is known all over thc country. Thoy aro tho pioneers of thc business, and havo tho largest manufac? tory in tho world.

Tho annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in th? magnitude of its issues and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho very life of freo government is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on tho capacity of tho peoplo for tho exerciso of that high trust if they, thc jurors who aro to try tho issue, prononnco a verdict of self-condomuation.
