A BOTTLE py, PoiiTEH.-Now co m ea
Gen. Horace Porter, and conveys to
some enterprising reporter bis views of
the" political ' situation. Gen. Horace
Porter is fluukoy-in-chief to bia Excel?
lency the President of the Uuited States;
he holds the position pf military valet in
the Executive household, and ie expect?
ed to perform those services whioh are a
little above tho sphere of an ordinary
servant, and ' a little below the tastes of
a well-bred gentleman. When the Pre
aident lakea.snuff, Gen. Horace Porter
feels o??^?it?flTtt ahet-zo; when tho Pr??
sident vYslfe the royal atables, Gen. Ho
raoe Porter examines the equine favor?
ites with bli master, ' and offers such
suggestions as bis?; jockey judgment dic?
tates; when tho President visits the royal
kennels, Gen. Horace Porter becomes a
neat edition, bonnet in calf, of "Youalt
on the Dog," and learnedly diaousoes
the various1 points and proclivities Of the
happy barkers; :whenithe President airs
himself ou thD avenue, Gen. Horace
Porter walka three paces in the rear, and
sees that nothing V?nseomJy comes be?
tween the wind end'the Presidential no?
bility; ' when the President roooives a
delegatjt?n, General Horace Porter is on
hand to pass cigars and inject ideas into
the Presidential'brain; and 'when the
President''goes to Hong Branch, he car?
ries Gen. Hbrace: Porter: with him to
look after the baggage and entertain
such guests as in Pr?sidentiel opinion
deserve nothing more than the atten?
tion of au underling. -The President
would find it exceedingly difficult to get
nloug without the assistance of General
Horace Porter, and G?noral Horace Por?
ter has a very nice:thing, which be
would like to koep four yours more.
Therefore, General : Horneo Porter is
highly indignant at the probability that
on and after the fourth day of March
next, there will be no further use for
him at the White House, and that he
will have to hunt Apaches, oatch Ku
Klux or retire to the blissf ul obscurity of
private life. In Generul Horatio Porter's
estimation, the present irm?mbont should
oooupy the chair of H tate; for life, on the
sole condition that General Horace Por?
ter is to be 'retained as the bright parti?
cular ornament- of the;President's do?
mestic staff.; If General Horace Porter
had his say, there would be no election,
but an Tude??ilB continuance of the
Grant dynasty, with Porter accompani?
ments. So,: when General - Horace Por?
ter unpacks bis bosom of the political
wisdom therein concentrated, the coun?
try ought to take off i ts hat and listen to
the oracle, knowing that on Porter there
is no discount, and inrhim no manner of
guile. Ii
Generul Horace Porter having given
the Bubjeot tho prayerful consideration
inspired by a tender stomach and sus?
ceptible pocket, boldly declures that "if
Horace is elected, the American people
will be entirely responsible"-which, we
take it, is about the most sensiole remark
General Horaoe Porter ever made.
Moreover, General Horace Porter affirms
that "the Democrats are thoroughly dis?
gusted with Greeley"-which, we take it,
is about as brilliant a falsehood as Gene?
ral Horace Porter over uttered. General
Horace Porter says he bas a heavy list of
prominent Democrats "of great standing
and life-long reputation," who have
volunteered to take the stump for Grant
-which, we take it, is one of those
cock-and-bull stories for which the Por?
ter family are so remarkable. Finally,
General Horace Porter "entertains no
doubt of Grant's election"-which view
cf tbs cass, we- take it, ia lue result ul
an incurable obliquity of mootai vision
quite natural under the circumstances,
Ii the American people were all built
on the plan which the Creator adopted
iu constructing General Horace Porter,
the success of Grant would indeed be a
foregone conclusion; but os a very large
majority of them detest tho flau Ley i sm,
the snobbishness, the corruption and
the manifold abuses which Grnct and
Porter represent, we must decline placing
implicit faith in the assertions or predic?
tions of that sweetest scented flower in
all the Presidential garden-General Ho?

A Bu o AJ>ER Honiz 03. -Senator Carl
Schurz, in his speech at Greensboro, I
NorthGaro?ua, last Saturday, tonoried
the marrow of the whole question ol' the
treatment of the South.-. 'Haferring to |
(he faithful legislation of jDongross for
the protection of the colored race, and
the fostering care with which" their free?
dom had been watched, be said that this
having been accomplished, the eye of 0ie
party had to swoop a broader ?po^itioal
horizon. The freedman has b?en tho
ward of the nation; he has been en?
couraged in his timid endeavors to make
his own way in the world; he has not
been left to the unreasoning fury of men
who BU ffored the pangs of defeat and the
humiliation of disfranchisement. . But
tba negro does , not longer ask special
privileges; he is able1 to take care of
himself, and only demands,that he shall
have equal rights and liberties with his
neighbors. So it becomes our duty to
give those privileges to the white ex
rebel as well as to the black ex-slave.
The time bas come (when the -war bas
been over for eight years) for all to make
their way in the world together. It is
the duty of the Government ' to give po?
litical rights to every oitizeu of the
Union; not only to the men who have
been freed from bondage, but to those
who laid down their arms Sud in good
faith accepted the issue of battles fought.
The Senator, tracing the history of
reconstruction, shows that while the co?
lored people have been protected by
stringent laws aimed against their late
mantera, they have secured the fruits of
freedom,: and < have learned to stand
alone. But, meantime; tho long arm of
Federal power bafc reached into"every
Southern State, in order to control elec?
tions, oppress the people-, und perpetu?
ate the existing Administration in power.
Whatever uedd':tb^;;f'^^(';hay?; be^n;
eight years ago,.for;?opresaiVje measures
and stringent legislation*:norla caa {ho?
nestly argue that this necessity muot
exist indefinitely. We must' protect the
liberties of tho few, but need we-, endan?
ger tho liberties of the many? Yet it is
hard to convince the-Administration and
its followers that it is time fdr'the South
to be restored to a normal condition of
things.. The bands of tai mili toity despot
iam>onoe upon thoao Staten,-it seems im?
possible to have-'(beni' lifted.- TheSquth

they are hot, trysted to, manage their

minded ?hat they are in trammels and
not free citizens-peers of any Others in
the Bepublic. It ia evident enongh that
this system of repression is sought to be
continued only that tho party sustaining
it shall be kept in power. Let ns have
the South held down a few years more,
they say, and we may keep our seats in
the Government; af ter ua, the deluge.
But the reign of terrorism aud the
carpet-bagger is over. The horizon is
broadening, and people do see that we
cannot afford to violate the principles of
justice by keeping any olass of. men
under a ban. It is time that political
amnesty were complete and sectional
legislation brought to an end. Tiiero is
no longer any reason why laws ('nomi?
nally of general application should bo
leveled at the Southern States '/atone.
Held fast by painful bouda, tho'SouLh
has been plundered of her resources until
a thrill of indignation bas run through
the North at the woful sight.. .It is
enough! National legislation must em?
brace in' its beneficent scope all citizens
and all classes pf citizens. The day. of
revenges is past; the era of real: peace
has come.--New York Tribune. ? .
AK UNNATURAL MOTHES.-From a
trustworthy source we have obtained the
ioilowiog: On Sunday last an unnatural
mother, living on a prominent street
West of Central avenue, made two at?
tempts, to murder her child, a boy, who
has accomplished but a few months over
two years on the' journey of life. Early
on Sunday morning a servant girl,.em?
ployed in the houser hoard . strange
sounds issuing from tho bath room.
Foroing ari ' entr?nge, 3 abe found . the
mother standing over tbo'bath tub hold?
ing the hoad of the child under tho
water. . The girl matched, the victim
from the woman's grasp, and after sn
ineffectual endeavor to' restore conscious?
ness to the little ono, she callod a physi?
cian, who succeeded, ofter fifteen or
twenty minutes of' constant exertion, in
bringing the child back to life. Later
in the day the mother made a second at?
tempt to murder her offspring by cutting
its throat; and before her hand was
stayed she had cut a gash in the infant's
neck, under the left ear, nearly two
inches in length. . The boy waa taken in
charge by a relative and may reoover.
The only ground upc i whioh tho horri?
ble and unnatural conduct of the mother
can be palliated ia the supposition of
insanity, caused by a too free use of
liquor. -
The whole affair, as we anderstand,
has been carefully concealed from lithe
authorities.-Cincinnati Gazette.

ciate Reformed Presbyterian Cbnroh in
