at after recounting Stevens' prominent
connection with the recent impeachment ]
ie project and his views relative to the 1
by paynlent of five-tewenty bonds, con
re cludes: "The death of Thad. Stevens is I
ft not now a public loss. His impeach- r
me ment policy was of incalculable injury n
to his political party, and the financial v
p. dishonesty which he encouraged. dies 9
y with him. He was fanatical, bitter and a
re self-willed, but not mean or deceitful. r
)r He is the last of the leading Americans 0
who had the courage to rise above par. a
g tisanship." The Morning Telegraph a
:e has the following : "Stevens was neitha- c
)f er good, wise nor generous, but in his ii
r- time did signal service, and with all his ii
faults, he merits the famous phrhase, l
r 'that was a mAn.'" The Daily News s

LIEUT. Gov. DUNN ON THE RACES.
d1 The Crescent of the 7th prints the fol
es io.wing:
lt We understand Oscar J. Dunn, the
nt Lieuttenant Governor, is warmly oppos- 4
Ie ed to the idea entertained by men of a
n. his own color of thrusting themselves
is into public places frequented only by
h- white men. He says, so we hear, that a
ry negroes ought to patronize. negroes, as t
al whites patronise whites; that the no
es groes are in the majority and in power, i
ad and if they cannot get up theatres, bar- 1
al. rooms and beer saloons, equal in point c
as of attraction to those frequented by I
r. white men, they had better let the mat- a
h ser alone. Whether our information is
t- correct or not, we give it as we heard i
is it. Dunnu says the negroes shows their I
is inferiority by insisting on frequenting I
e, places of white resort. Let them start
s such places of their own, and let "the s
3s white trash," (we hardly believe Oscar (
a J. ever used that term) alone in their s
it glory. If these sentiments which we a
have heard simply in a gossiping way, I
' are correct, they show that Lieutenant t
.r Governor Dunn is a mana of more than 1
. ordinary good sense, and that he ap- J
-e preciates the inevitable and irreconcil- J
y able difference which exists between the
•e white man and the black. c

g has to infoirm the head and the heels of
the convention, which have the habit otf c
. getting on the same level, that the con- I3

the colored employes draw chairs to- f
gether and throw off their shoes-they ca
