France has fought before, and i:early conquered, heavy odds, by pursuing the Fabian policy. But the efect of the a ' -will be undoilt~tedT to strehgthen in eve wayr thEe s pead o and t, end the war. The Republicans of France may protest ;ainst the Empe ror William's terms, but the-re doomed to failure. Wil}. the I der of Napoleon, the glory of France was at an end. Ie.r hope Is in the re totation of the Empire. % . -- _ 'fle llit4 r digger. { The'negro cadet at West Point is again scandalizing his white partisans and supporters by making it necessary to have another court-martial to inves tigate charges aga kim. This time he is up for lying. Before it was for cracking the pate of annother cadet with a' cocoanut. In the name of heaven, where is this negro farce to end ? Is it not time to have dote with it? The patience of Providence, it seems tq us, must-be exhgusted at the continued violation of his great decrees in this attempt to equalize that which he has made distinctly .dlibrent, and, improve upon his power by elevating the negro over the head of the white man. The proof that Heaven will look no longer assentingly upon such insolent assumption is discoverable in the fact that the mind of the people is under going a great change, upon the princi ples, of want or principles, of the black Republican party. His spirit is mov ing over men's thoughts, and pouring a flood of light around the land. We see evidences of this in almost every public incident of the day, in the increase to our own subscription list, in the formation ofclube it every section, in the earnest letters on paoble events and public men that cover our table, and more than these in the irreparable split of the party itself. The light is break ing in fkom Heaven and we will soon behold the great sun of Democracy rise full and. entire, and the people, like Joshua of old, will bid it tarry in the skir**-'etf all r'ctirdr Is disptelled. Will there hotVteoleing then through out the length and breadth of this badly ruled nation ?-N. Y. Democrat. The farmers about Lynchburg, Va., find it impossible to hire laborers to work their farms. The whole country is filled with negroes, who absolutely refuse to make contracts upon any terms that may be offered them. A pipe was put to be voted for at a New York Fair recently, when Bar num got more ballots than President Grant, and got the pipe. He will no doubt present it to the President, as he never smokes himself. . 1001 flWHITHES. SLATEST INTELLIGENCE I "d The Southern Palllne Railroad.
