The 8tate governmeinrlts in soIu., of the
SIn 'e.tra States have bee'n weak and

us for that. H\nat have we to do witul
it t Why, they say we i . iowed pli.

Imposed political disabtliti'e on relwl!st
We aret old the peopleo pay the debt,
bat we never hear that the ilople im
ed the disabilities; yet they did.
bfourteenth amendment oft the CiUo
stitutton, ratified by the Iegislatures
oe requarters of the etates, is t he
disability under which rebels have
beas. That amendment dtsca not touch
the right to vote, but leaves every
reel a voter. It touches only the
right to hld oatke. It provides tat-it
the men who took an oath to support
the Constitution and then fought
astit p th a adding perjury to trea
son, ubMt nat hohl office; and it fnrth
or provides that Congress, by a two
thirds vote, nuaa relieve them.' It is
foolish to pretend- all b.iaagaloweid t,
vOtq that the najo it) colt :not rule ;
i is absurdnt to pretelndl that the r;e
rebels, who were |ap.juratd a. wtv,; in

lows that the burteenth alseaidalnr-nt is
not the cause of bad uturn Itui:g elactetl

truth is, as was auntdatntly proved ite
fbre the Kuklux ICotnmnittcv. that 4ulp

and maktitg it odious.
Amnesty or want of anewnsty had
nthing to do with jobs, in Southern
Legistitcra any more than ia our

doubted. Be this as it may, the Presi

Granatf' Ednceation.
Grant can not be illiterate, or. as a
Greeley orator told ann audience the.
other dlay, '" ignorant of what 8echlnt
xboys kmliow."
Hie was educated a;t West Point.
and whoever graduates inl that exact
ilng school munst have all edtluation
such as feew Amiericans receive. Mens
tal nulture is not all we find inn Grant
at West Point. His letters ~'ritten
then stnalnp himn with lcharacter enough
by itself to refuite the worn and soiled
sicanilal which now tfeulds the nostrils
of the intioin.
From West Point he went to act
a sunordinmate part inl the Mexin' a
war. He acted it bravely, inlllestmy,
alnd well. The Mexican war being
over, his pay in the regular artmy
would have gone on, and he might
have iln peace auid idleness at the
public cost, but, unwilling to be ii
drone, he became a tannler.
The " Tanner of Galena."- What He
Tanned.
MIr. Sumner withers him by re.
mninding us that " he tanned hides at
Galena tint a few hundrel dollarsn a
year." He did not masquerade as a
wood-chopper; he did not igure in
piictorials as a farmer; he did not go
rmnluld telliug " what hlie knew about"
anyltlhinga that he edidit understand
himswlf; hle minded his own bIusiness,
and ler other peopl,'s business alone;
but he worked with his Ilandas as a
hewer of wood, w ich hie sold in the
Itnarket, nd lrol ght out a living for
his ftninily and liniselif.
Froum the lbreakig oat of the re
beineumii, hii career is a " thrice tolil
talc"-the worlI knows it Iy hieart.
Wheln the flag nank at SUllnpter, ihe
did not wait to be tcalled. Wilhout
commission, commalntd, uniforln or
snhoulder-atrapls, he started for the
field, anlld grasling the Stars anldi

to the wilderness of Virginia, wben
the reidezvouu of the allied arnmies tot
rebellion, and when the rebel chietn
were ibnsting that in the fastneatwses of
the Blue Ridge they could defy the
world in arnns. He marched from
Washington, and he meaaured no
backward step until he eet his foot
upos the alattered tragmentus of the
greatest muilitary power an lnvading
annry ever overthrew. He aolved the
proIhlem which had bhaled all others,
and prenerved a nationality after the
world thought it gone down.
How stood be then ? The nation
leaned and reposedl apon himn, and
bIlessl him. Both hemispheres geaze
at him as the prodigy and wonider of
the age.
The Democrats sought bia connnt
to nominate him fpr the Presidency
withont platform or pledge, but he
declined. His tutegrity taught him
that whenl a party chooep a candidate
for the other side somebody is to be
cheated; andl by Qrant's consent, no
onle ever was or ever will be cheated.
But the Democratic managers
adoredl him, and saw him only re
splendent with greatness and with
virtues.He was not unfit for Presi
dent thetn; he was the fittest of all
his countr.ayman. He did not beeonne
until until three years' had rilpened
andl enualirgedl his knowledge.

way they can be beaten is for each re

a colored manu, reason him out of his
Grant politics, educate him into Gree

lthe asion candidates. This is a sort
of still hunt that will have to he car

pursuing white man might fall a vic
