Is that cry the mere cant of bjypoajitical demagogues, to ex? cite tho Enthusiasm of the ignorant though well-meaning populace? or is it the^tru?, sincere and noble sentiments of a <gennine Republicanism? if the latter, how in the name of consistency and reason, can men who profess to ba Republicans, and to1 cherish its purest principles, deny to the white people of Colombia inst such a fair share of repr?? sentation in their city government, as is claimed to bo right and propbr in New York by tho organ of Republicanism, and acknowledged to be wise and in accordance with true patriotism by good men of all parties and nationalities. The white people of Columbia form nearly half the population; they pay three-fourths, at least, of the taxes. Is it Republicanism to deny them any voice in the management of their own money, or to deprive them of all participation in a common government? It is not; and the false-hearted villain that says it is, or takes measure to prevent a moderate and just representation of the white people, is no Republican. He is nothing more than a naked demagogue, and meuna no good to society. Nor is be a friend to the colored race. These hewly enfranchised people cannot maintain their own by ignoring and denying the rights of their white fellow-oitisens, and more especially when each denial works the rain and corruption which is manifested alike in our municipal and Statu Government. If they were com? petent to toke charge of all publio affairs themselves, and fo give ns ?aven an honest and economical management of them, it wonld not still be fair nor wonld it be expedient for them so to act. They gained their own freedom from the sym? pathy of civilized humanity which con? ceived them to be oppressed. They will not best manifest their fitness for free? dom and political power and commend the aotion of civilized humanity, by op? pressing the white raae, or by allowing - unscrupulous adventurers to rob, de? grade and ruin, through their instrumen? tality and power, the State over which their numbers give them the oontrol. i In our citizens' movement, the white people have usked for no consideration of their property, or of their snperioi intelligence as a class, as entitling them to greater representation; bat, by theil nominations, show that they are oontent to act upon an assumed footing of equal ity on those two scores entirely, and asl barely foe euoh representation as theil mere numbers entitle them to. Thej ask no more, because that is sufSoient t< answer the ends of good government which is all they seek. A spirit of job bery and of corrupt extravagance cha raoterizos the present Council. Higl taxation and a startling inore aso of tb ? publio debt has ensued. That is wha we contend against. No man in hi senses can entertain a hope that the pro sent whito nominees can bo actuated b; any different and better motives thai their predecessors. They are birds of : feather; they associate together, the; work together; they think alike, the; talk aliko, ikey will rob alike.

They cannot control and shape' legislation, in the way they may deem best, In'ovary particular; bot they can prevent evil tampering with the Qnanoes, should any snoh be designed; and this is all that the white people ask for. >ft - .For a j^fayor we want an-honest man, a capable man, and furthermore one whom the optiro community believes to be honest and capable. He shoald npt, in oar judgment, be anything of on aotive-partisan, which might render him distasteful to the one olass or tho other; bat if he be a Republican, with all the other requisites, so mnoh the better. Honesty and economy in the manage? ment of public affairs are the common objecta alike of Democracy and of Re? publicanism. They may pursue differ? ent paths, and each believe the other o fl the track, bat they are struggling for the samegOaL In our city government thort is bnt one path, and both mast follow it. A vast preponderance of strength ic either party, or in any political party, begets corruption; and thon is the time for honest elements to combine, l.n fis? York city the Democratic government, under the power of the infamous Tam many ring, grew fearfully corrupt Honest Democrats joined with the Re publicans and defeated Tammany ant saved the city. Such was likewise th< oase in San Francisco, and the samo re Balts followed, too, with the table turned in Chicago. Where there is n< evidenoe of corruption, citizens do oftei gratify their innocent political prefer enoeB in a munioipal election, but who; there oomes an ?BSUO of life and death as with us, a oontest between the wei fur and the rain of a oommunity, sensibl people lay party feelings asido and wor! for the common good. In the April number of the Oulax there is an article by Mr. Gideon Wellet ex-Secretary of the Navy, which will al traot attention. It is entitled "Linool and Johnson, their Plan of Beoonstrm tion and tho Resumption of Natiom Authority." It is the first ohapter < what Mr. Welles appears to design as history of the . "reconstruction" mei sures adopted after the close of the ri hellion. His narrative of Mr. Linaoln conversations in reference to the work < re-orgauizing the Southern States is vet curious, and may probably not poss ui challenged. Mr. Lincoln evidently ai ticipated much opposition from Senat< Sumner, and repeatedly expressed h gratification that "the rebellion w crushed just as Congress hud adjonrned Speaking of his own plans for tho rest ration of the Southern States, he sa "there ?/ere men who objected to thc views, but they were not hore"-i. e., Washington-"and wo must make hus to do our duty beforo they como herc I Mr. Welles' memoranda .are publish' when many of the persons referred to them aro still living, and they will pt bably give rise to disooBsion which w bo valuable to the future historian. Friends aro sometimes exoessivoly i oonvonient, and this is tho condition ' find ourselves placed in with regard Wendell Phillips. This zealot, BO wro on many things, is at last right in ohui ing Gen. Grant's administration wi being a decided failure-bad beyond precedent. Wendell foretells hopeh defeat to tho President if renominate and yot, how is he to reoonoile hims in the ranks of the opposition, should to shoulder with the men whom ho L so often swung upon the oratorical g lows, and iu whoso lives ho hithei could find nothing not utterly demonit True, politics muko strange bed-fellov but it will have never violated tho pi prielies moro thoroughly than when thrusts Wendell beneath the sheets dream in unison with Southern rebels that shortly dawning day, when Orr shall ocaso from troubling and Coll will be at rest.

Indeed, thu course recently pursued to ward Parker, at Washington, is a sug? gestive indication 9t this result. Tho New York Herald baa a two-oo iumn editorial elaborating and illustrat? ing "the mysterious i nil non no" of the New York "fleraid. An influence that requires so muoh explanation munt be not only mysterious, but minute. The truth is, the Herald has been gradually withering out of the politics of the country with the gradual decay of the powerful old mah who' established it. The shrewd common sense of the elder BeuuuU no longer shows'itself in its co? lumns, excopt by fits and starts; and though Bennett the younger ia aaid to bo a fellow of capacity and spirit, he is too much engaged with the diversions of a great fortune to "knuckle down" to the drudging and discipline essential to tue conduct of a newspaper. The He? rald is, in reality, a headless monster, kept going by a sort of retrogressive force that has not yet died oat of it. MR. EDITOR: Very seldom do I ever appear in newspaper articles, and when? ever I do, it is done with, delicacy; but the existence of a public nuisance in this city, compels me to ask a small space in your columns for the purpose of oalling the attention of tho city au? thorities to that nuisance. While pass' iug through Assembly street, on Thurs? day afternoon, I was iusulted by the lounging and idle colored boys who in? fest that street, by being called a damned Jew. I, of course, took no notice of it, and proceeded on my businosB. On yesterday morning, while passing through the same street, I waa accosted in the Bame manner by those boya, and would not have taken notice of it had it not been repeated two consecutive days. I reprimanded the boy, who immedi? ately drew from his pocket a knife with a blade five or six inches long, with whioh he attempted to out me. I did not attempt to take.the knife from him, for had I done so, I would have been jumped on by the friends of these boys, who were men, and who dared me to toko the knife from the boy. What I desire now lo soy, is, that auoh things should not be tolerated in any commu? nity; for if a'peaceable citizen cannot walk the streets without being insulted and accosted with a knife in the day, what safety is there for a person in the night? The idea of a boy twelve or fifteen years of age carrying a deadly weapon of that sort, is perfectly horri? ble; and I hope the oity authorities will instruct their police to attend to this matter, and see that these boys are dis? armed. Very respectfully, AN ISRAELITE. SICKELS AND STOKES-A GOINOIDKSCB. The ohauge in the Erie railway brings vory conspicuously before the world two homicides who are its real authors Daniel E. Sickels and Edward S. Stokes. But for tho killing of Fi^k by Stoke?, tho agents of the foreigu stockholders , eonld never have got into the Erie build? ing-the Grand Opera House-for it turns out now, and it is proved by re? cent events, that Fisk was tho real vital po cor of Erle. It will strike everybody, on reflection, as a most extraordinary coincidence, that tho other principal actor? besides Stokes, namely, Dauicl E. Sickels, is aUo a homicide. Stokes killed Fisk, and ia yet to be tried for it; Sickels killed Philip Barton Key, and was tried for it and acquitted on the ground of insanity! Another coinci? dence is that both Fisk and Key wero killed by beibg shot by Derriuger pis? tols; and still another, that Stokes is de? fended by tho same distinguished crimi? nal lawyer who got Sickels clear. Sickels is our Minister to Spuiu; and for nu ordinary mau to bo at home lead? ing a struggle to take a railway office in a foreigu interest whilo drawing pay as our representative at a foreign court, would seem st runge; but nothing is strange to Dan. Sickels. The country is happy in tho expecta? tion of a reform in Erie, and Stokes' friends aro happy in thu hope that st no distant day, whilo Minister to some foreign country, ho may return home and soizo somo great railway. SUDDEN DEATH.-OU Tuesday last Mrs. Nancy Harrison, widow of the late Dr. James Harrison, was attacked with pa? ralysis, from tho efteots of which she died the following day.

The ? oload which overhung the earth at the time W?a a sea-green color and terrible to behold.. The wind revolved spirally ?dio ht a veetioul ax ii, ha vi ri g. both a ro t.Ury and a progressiva -.moremont. The end of thia axis, so to apeak, tonohed the earth-'at intervals, Horaping it with I fury fov half a mile; then rising, would more above it for the same distance, making,?,? thia way a succession of leaps for nearly br quite six miles Whenever it came in contact with the earth, it swept it as with the besom of destruc? tion, prostrating trees, demolishing bonnes and feuoas, turning over huge boulders that would require the strength of eix or eight men to more, and even scooped out the earth in places. Ou the same day this tornado passed over portions of Tennessee, 9th instant, Florida had a similar visitation, some of tho incidents of which we copy from the Jacksonville Onion as follows: Starting from Camp Moony, six miles from the city, the farthest point from which we have any reliable advices, it pursued an Easterly direction, and in the distance of a milo destroyed four dwellings, besides out-buildings, trees, Seo. The house of Solomon Themas was completely oarried away, severely in? juring both Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, and leaving thom almost waked among the ruina. Two carts that stood in tho yard were demolished, and parts of thom car? ried to a distunes of '?00 yarda. Articles of apparel were blown a milo from the houee. At Mr. Stetson's place, some two miles West of tho city, u colored woman waa blown a distauoo of fifty yards. Mr. Stetson's house waa completely wrecked, hardly u trace of it remaining on the original site. A woman who was in the house, by tho name of Wiggins, was in? stantly killed. Pieces of a new wagon that had stood in the yard were found at a distan?a of a quarter of a mile from the wreck, and one of the tires of the wagon wus found completely wrapped around a tree, ata diBtanco of an eighth of a mile. At Three Milo Branch, the next place which fell before the wrath of the cyclone, Jacob Barton's hou.se was en? tirely capsized, sud nearly all the wreck was curried by the wind to a distance of 100 feot. Teu jpersons were in the house, and, miraculous as it may seem, with the exception of ono or two slight bruises and scratcher, lin on? vean in. jured. At April Lercey's, 200 yards farther on, old Boreas wa3 not aa lenient. The house was totally destroyed. Mr. Lor coy's daughter, aged twenty-two years, was killed outright, and an infant severely bruised. Three other honsec were carried away between Lercey't house and Panama road. An old colorea woman was blown or in a pine tree, where she lodged nutt morning, when ?ho was rescued. Slit is not expeoted to recover from her im juries. Within tho abort distance of twe milos ton buildings were demolished trees uprooted, and even the gram blown from its roots, so severo waa the gale. The track of the storm seemed to bi about 200 yards wide at this point, anc seemed to have concentrated withit ita narrow limit nil its power, ant swept strong buildings from its patt like mere straws.

A nun, a young lady of great expectutionu and exquisite ; beauty, had became attached to her ?father confessor^ Thither she was I secretly conveyed and ?ave birth to ? child. The child waa quickly disposed of, and the mother was even more cruelly treated. Several of the monks determined npon destroying her. Dar* in g the temporary absence of her para? mour, they passed a cord round her neck and dragged her along the floor until she was strangled. Her screaming attracted the attention of some Greek sailors, who effected ad entranoe into the monastery^ . Three of the'h.ly fatb era paid the penalty of their orime. One received a death wound from a sword; another was shot through the lungs, and the,third received several wounds in the bead, from which he has since died.-Cincinnati Commercial. m ? t. ' Thomas Minshall, a young man resid? ing in Chester, Pa., was terribly poisoned a week or two since by a species of bair dye in oommon usa among barbers ?very- . where. The Republican says: "While-' coloring his moustache, the, barber suffered a drop of the dye to. fall upon his lower lip, whioh was slightly ohap ped. In a short time after, the part began to swell, became inflamed to an enormous size, and his whole face pre? sented a shocking appearance. Con? vulsion after convulsion followed, and for some days his life was in great jeo? pardy. Within the last day or two, however, tho swelling bas somewhat subsided, and he is in a fair way to re? cover." A colored man named John McEen ney, in the employ of Mrs. M. A. Chu? fee, of Aiken, S. C., met with a singular accident recently, which is quite likely to result seriously. It seems that he had * a cup of tea concealed in his bosom, and while stepping out of the door of the kitchen, foll over a wheelbarrow, break* ing the cup, a piece of whioh cut through the abdomen, making a wound some two inches in length, through which the in? tet tines protruded. The proposed constitution for Utah was unanimously adopted by the Mor? mon voters recently, and Fuller, tho Mormon candidate for Congress, was elected without opposition.

A desperate riot has jost occurred among the miners in Rothschild's mines at Wittkowitx, in Moravia. Enraged at the non-payment of their wages, they attacked the superintendent's office, burst open the safe and appropriated its contents, and then demolished the building. The military quelled the riot by killing four, wounding fifty, and ar? resting a hnndred of the rioters. An exchange tells ns that "a Michigan boy who had stolen some money was so overcome by remorse that he shot and killed himself." If the officers of the Government at Washington and abont the New York Custom House were to wake np to-morrow morning and find themselves equally as sensitive to re? morse, the rattle of small arms for the next few hours would be deafening. The New York Sun places the smouat 3tolen from tho Government by Secre? tary Robeson at 81,400,000. If that is all, Bobeson's enemies aro making en? tirely too mach fuss about the noney he hos stolen. They don't seem to be will? ing to give bim a bit of credit for the money he hasn't stolen. A Minnesota sheriff kindly allowed a convict to stop outside tho penitentiary a moment to kiss his wife, and tho family tie proved so strong that he has not yet returned.
