Who? Why LaiiJaulet Williams.
He of the fine enrriago and horses,
paid for and fed oy the people of the
United States. He, who was head of
the outrage mill by which sensational
Ktories were manufactured to inflame
the minds of the people of the North
ern States against thoo of the South,
just prior to every election. lie who
was Commander-in-chief of the Armies
of the United State,' operating in
i Kebe!, KuKlux territory.' lie, the
employer ar.d supporter of Mich saints
and pliylanthriftpitj as Jo Hester.-
He who essayed to command the
downfall of Slate Government?, and
had an army at hi hack to enforce
his decrees, He who set himself up
high above the laws of tho land, He,
whoso will was the law of the country.
He who a Republican Senate refused
to confirm as Chief J ubtice on ae
count of bis bad moral character, yet
retained by the Military Ruler f
this country in the ofiice of Attorney
.General and vested with powers, that
vera denied the Czar of tho Riasia,
or the Sultan of the Turks,
And baa it come to this I Are we
at last, come to take our final leave of
this mightier than potentate, King or
Emperor! Are we no longo to view
with admiration and delight the great
man who has swayed a country to and
'' fro! Who bad but ; to say to the
people "do tin," and it was done;
'do that," and it was done; "re
frain from doing th:" aud it was rot
done The slightest intimation of whose
will, the people of the country dare
not disobey. '
And he! At. Inst, td retiie from
this piniuQcle, and take his place
among his fcllew citizen's as a man
among men. He to retire to the
plaius of Oregon ! There to pass his
life among tho citizens of that State
as a private man. Can it ht ! that
he ha of bLj own free will and accord
resigned all of this greatness that
has been conferred upon him by a
grateful country; or hag he like poor
Jack Bunsbey fallen into the hands of
some Mrs. McStinger, who is control
ling his action? The last cannot he.
It is unreasonable tor a moment to
think so. r'o! The patriotic Laun
daulet is acting only from an impulse
of public virtue. The great and
ruling principle that t.as charaetcrized
his every public act. He retires from
the service of his country in order that
some of the other Satclites of the
great ring may have some taste of the
greatness that ho has enjoyed to so
great an extent. The country while
deploring its great and almost irrepar
able loss, will nevertheless do the host
that it can to survive this calamity
that has overtaken it at this inoppcr
tune time. Good bye, Dear Landau.

Notning since the opening of Grant's
administration, of the jame nature, will
convey half the pleasure to the South
as the withdrawal of this ignorant in
carnation t mischief from his seat in
the Cabinet. It would be safe .to say
that Grant himself has been made to
change his nature under the dial lical
suggestions ot one with whom hatred
of the South was a vital principle.
Wh rever the President has fcalted in
his march of oppression, Williams was
there to urge him on. Wherever he
was at a loss for pretexts or precedents
Williams was there with just enough of
law to furnish the precedent, and with
more than enough of malice to furnish
pretext. Most of the unlawful and op
pressive measures in connection with
Louisiana, owe their inspiration to
Williams, Many of the violent and un
constitutional plans proposed for the'
enslavement of A kansas are due to hu
suggestions. In fact, witLiu the last
two year?, there is little of injustice and
of eppresionjrhichhad not th-it d -

The following is from a Green Coun
ty correspondent of the Goldsboro
"Messenger."
There is in the county of Greene,
eleven miles from any railroad or town
a small farm with less than twtf hun
dred acres that was valued forty years
ago at - $1000. The presented wtter
came in p session of it twenfv ear
aga at a valuntion of two thonand
dollars, and has recently refused $6000
for it. When the present owner came
in possession of it twenty years ago he
had no family but a wile he bad just
taken better for worse. No other
property but one horse and a years pro
vision. At the commencement of the
war he bad bought and paid for five
likely negroes, during the war cleared
$5000 in Confedsrate scrip, which he
has on hand. Since th close ot the
wnr has bought and paid for liive hun -dred
acres more in the same county
all made on the same small farm. He
has never used any fertilizer?, haj
nevar bought any pork or corn for his
own family use, never worn but two
suits ot clothes (except linen) that was
not made at home, never paid more
than $25 interest, never was warranted
or sued, never paid one cent to law

I intervle wed" Uncle Billy, a good
colored friend of mine, other day. on

'Don't want nufSn mo," said Uncle
Billy; "Got too much already fur dis
niggah."
-How is that. Ur.e'e Billy? Is it no1
good thing to be equal before the
law? .:""'T

plaintively, darV jist whar de" misery

Ytr hauls him 'lore Conrt an sen'.
him to de penitentiary just like' he was
one cf yer poor white trash, Dat's
what ,tis to be ekal 'fore de law !'
I suggested to Uncle Billy that this
might be obviated by being. little
moie hones'.
"Marse Bofs,''inteirup'ed Billy, we
cant't inn agin natur. It's natral fur
niggah to steal pig and chicken; fry in'
si Yer know it is, aii' 'taint no use
trym to stop us. No t we nns are
will in' to let you una alone, and you all
jist let us alone on this pint. We're
powerful weak on dis pint. Marse Boss.'
Juit here a perverse and disloyal
spirit tempted me to bint to Uncle
Billy that the colored people were in
debted to their Republican friends for
this change in their status.
Well, den, Marse Boa?,' said he, 'all
l'a got to say is, de law's got to be
changed. Mu&' hab a law fur de white
man and a law for de b'ack man.
Strange as it may seem, some otour
best citizens echo Uncle Billy's senti
ment. They are inclined to view the
negro's minor transgressions in
lenient light, and I know that some of
our D -mocratic judges impose lighter
penalties upon colored men tor small
offenses than they would do in rases
where the gutty par ies were white.
Before Uncle Billy left I asked him
how he would like to sit down at the
tal I s with white folks t the hotels.
The good old man exclaimed, "I
a!
low youse tryin' to make fun o' dis
chile. Why, you knows yourself no
cnllud pussr.n ebber 'eta a whi'e man
see 'em eat if dey kin he; pit.''
This is strictly trne. The ordinary
Southern negro will not eat in the pres
ence at a white sp- ci'nr.
''Well UncV Billy , I said, ' it is
very evident that jou don't want any
civil rights.' J
"Not anyth'asr mo 1 thank you,"
replied Billy. "Nearly d'ne ruined

where our people make their great tnn
take.' Suppose you put your card in

direct profit will pay you. Men will
look at your city paper, and judge from
It tnat you are a live people, and be
drawn toward you. Not only so, but
you will strengthen the paper's power
to do you good, to extend its in form i
