After the causes of defeat hare been-
explained and the country has bad a good
breathing spell of three yeara and a
half, it will then -be time to think about
the future of the party; what is to be
done, what shall be cur platform, and
who shall be the next Presidential can
didate. A good many papers are trying
to decide all these things at once, and
are making strong efforts to get the peo
ple interested as much as they are. But
it baa been a flat failure. When the sun
rose on the day after the election, and
the result was known, every man weni
straight to his business, and ever since I
the country has been engrossed in its bu
ainess interests, lnere is hardly a man
in the South who will for a moment take
ao eye from his Dusiness ana piace h on
the political situation. And so the man I
who has been exj.ec.iog to become fa
mous on account of a platform they had
written, or-a number of roles they had
composed for the future guidance of the
party, are in a fair way to be disappoint
ed. As a specimen ot what the newspa
pers are offering, we clip the following
from the Charleston News and Courier:

Fob several weeks a rumor has prt
vailed to the effect, that the negro exodus
had began afresh and that thousands of
negroes in the extreme Southern States
were emigrating to the West. Bat the sub
sequent rumor that the tide of emigration
still flowed in the direotion of Kansas
made us rather skeptical as to the truth
of tbe rumors. It surely does not
already so overburdened with population,
that hundreds and thousands are in a
destitute and starving condition.
Ao article in tbe Boston Post gives
some facts in regard to the negroes in
Kansas, which will doubtless interest the
reader :
The facts set forth in the following
artiole from the Boston Post can not fail
to interest the reader; It concerns the
negroes in Kansas : "A little over a year
ago, Geo Conway and Wendell Phillips
were trying to fire the enthusiasm of tbe
North up to the point of supporting and
encouraging the exodus movement
amoog the oolored people of the South
Now, Mrs Comstook, an elderly lady,
with white hair and benevolent face, and
dressed in the style of the Quakers, has
been sent East by Gov St. John, of Kan
sas, to solicit money, clothes and other
things for tbe relief of the suffering col
ored imigrants of that 'State. Of course
genuine humanity and philantbrophy do
not slop to inquire into causes. Their
springs of action are touched by the
simple fact that suffering exists, and we
trust there will be a free response to the
appeal which Mrs Comstook is now
making in behalf of 0,000 negroes more
or less destitute. But it is nevertheless
proper and profitable to inquire with
whom the responsibility rests for this seri
ous state of thingB. There are now five
times as many oolored people in Kansas
as there were a year ago, and even then
whole families slept in the open air and wo
men and children died of starvation. It is
not denied that Kansas was represented
to the deluded blacks as a land of promise
a place where tbe 'forty-acres-acd-a-mule'
idea was to be finally realized, while in
addition milk and honey were to flow in
streams fjLomfore8ts.of gum. treea whose
branches would swarm with luscious
'possums almost ready to pop open from
yery fatness. Sj alluring was the pic
ture that whole families left their little
homes where they had plenty and com

and Buch other property as they may
have bad for trifling considerations to
join the grand maroh for the new Canaan.

The men who proposed the plan of

as a very great misfortune to be elected
Presideut of the United States. Or why
should he ever after be an object of pity

tor tbe old democratic republican simpli

ranks of the people after bis - term has
ended, which rj jets tbe notion that the
office or the man who has held it can set
ftr any impairment of dignity by his
taking his place among his fellow citizens
once more, and which does not exclude
him from any honest and honorable-
calling either in the public service or in
private business.
The opposition to the proposed Pas-

against it were Rev Mr Healey, Catholic:

and Kelly bave had and still bave a pri

have been in ;the papers for a month
past, with all kinds of abuse and vilifica
tions. The public of good taste are tired
and disgusted with their quarrel. John
Kelly is bad enough, but ia the Herald
any better? The latter Bays' Kelly de
feated Hancock. He probably helped to
do bo by his political treachery for the
ast three vears. but the Herald did more
to defeat Hancock than Kelly, by abusing
Mr Grace because be was a Catholic and
appealing to all the protestant feelings
against Catholicity. The Herald pre
tends to be a neutral paper. This is all
sham. It is the great political weather
cock of the age. Before the Indiana
election it was for Hancock ; afterwards
it was for Garfield, in strong partisan
terms. Six weeks ago it commended
Kellv as a greatettesmaD, that he had
been kicked out of the party at Cmcinna
ti, and had now woipped the party and
led it, and was worthy. to lead. A ter it?

is broadly devoted to science ; to prevent
interference with this distinctive and com
prehensive purpose, its founder excluded
-theology," .Tarty Politics, and mere
'Literature." The faculty consists of able
men, carefully chosen. Ihe founder is not a
scientific man, but ,a cool headed observ
er, and the theory of education embodied
in hiB institution ia the result of extensive
practical intercourse with tbe common
people, and an intimate knowledge of
their real wants. "He was," says Profes

The address is written in Tyndall'e usual
glowing, energetic style. He seems car
ried away by bia subjeet, and quotes
largely to show that the early christians
aud the early Reformers, emphatically
asserted the freedom of Christians from
Sabbatical bonds. Luther, Melanchthon
his grand old namesake, "The Martyr
Tyndale," as well as Knox and Calvin, re
pudiated the idea of a Jewish Sab
bath, Calvin even going so far as to say:
"Those who thus adhere to the Jewish
institution, go thrice a far as the Jews
themselves, in tbe gross and carnal su
perstition of Sabbatism."
