THE WILMINGTON POST.
WILMINGTON. N. C. OCTOBER 17. 1869.
The Lesson ol the Hour.
u ' Alesson from the decreased Republican
majority in Pennsylvania may be learned by
our: party in other i States. Many men were
elected to office in the Keystone State dur
ing the excitement of the late war who were
manifestly improper persons to! hold office
'or represent any body except j themselves,
and their: interests. In possession, it is
olten difficult. to dislodge, even; notoriously
corrupt and wicked office holders, and thus
great injury is done to the party in causing
coolness among our friends and keeping
from the polls many who would otherwise
take an active part in electing the regular
ticket. It is to be hoped other States will
take warning and not permit the same
: blunder) to operate against us in decreasing
our, majorities. We have men holding office
. in the State of Iforth Carolina, whose every
"day continuance weakens instead of
strengthens us. It will not do for us reek-
lessly to trifle with facts. Every voter dis-
. gusted by an imbecile or corrupt place man
is one Jcept aic ay from the polls ; even sup-
posing the enemy do not obtain his ballot.
The folly and crime of Virginia Republi-
cans must not be repeated in this or any
other Southern State. We warn the leaders
of the party land especially our county com
mittees and nominating conventions to
"Put none but Americans on guard."
The Jfewj Secretary of War.
The question of tlie succession to the la
mented General Rawliiia in the War de
partment is at last settlfed and settled, too,
in a way peculiar to the President, by the
appointment of a gentleman whose name
was not mentioned for the office, and who
perhaps was not himself an aspirant. A
number of ambitious gentlemen will be
disappointed, and bo will their friends and
supporters, but we have not the least doubt
that in this instance, asir others, the results
wiiriully justify the wisdom of the Presi
dent's selection. The" " coming man" for
the War Office is William W. Belknap, of
Iowa. He is a son of Colonel William "G.
Belknap, an officer of the army who served
fith .distinction in the war of 1812. The
new Secretary entered the army at the be
ginning of the late rebellion, as commander
of the 15th Iowa volunteers, and subse
quently commanded a division in the army
4 of the Tennessee.
. ' lie served with great distinction, and soon
rose to the rank of major general by brevet.
His military service was principally in the
West, and there he is well known. lie is
about ,40 years of age, and a graduate ofrthe
college pf New Jersey, at Princeton, where
- he was a class-mate of Secretary Robeson'.
A. few days ago the President requested
Gen. Sherman to write to Belknap to know
if he would accept the Secretaryship ifj it
was tendered him. He replied affirmatively,
and the President then telegraphed him to
(remain until his business affairs were settled
in the West. To this he answered that he
would be here in ten days.
General Belknap is not a politician, in
( the common acceptance of the term. Those
who know him best say he is a man of ex
cellent talent, has great decision of charac
1 ter and can say nen me.occasion re-
quires il, and has withal great administra
tive ability. He is at present collector of
internal revenue for the First Iowa district.
His profession is the law and his ability at
the bar has made his name eminent in the
profession in his State. In childhood he
resided in Georgetown, D. C;, with his
father, but was taken West in early life.
The outcry of the Democratic naturalized
citizens against the naturalization of the
Chinese reminds us of a scene we have all
witnessed in an "omnibus. The inside is
snugly full all comfortably seated. ' A big
man comes pulling down before the storm,
and hails the driver. No sooner heard than
up goes the cry, All full !" " Keep him
1
out I" ' The candidate for the wet jacket,
, nothing daunted, mounts and makes for the
upper corner without regard to toes. How
the testy old gentlemen hate the new comer :
But on the stage rattles, and, the shaking
soon settles all comfortably down again
when lo ! the drive? is hailed again. u All
full !" ? "Keep him out!" comes up again
in furioua volley from the whole company,
andf O, tho shame bl it I the fierciest vocif
erator of them all is the very big man who
last in such headlong style pushed his way
in. '
, The London Time, in an editorial on the
Fenian amnesty meeting says " The Crown
is invited to pardon rebels who do not pre
tend to be penitent, not because the con
spiracy is crushed, but that it is still formi
dable enough to rally sympathizers. No
one doubts the right of the Government to
suppress with vigor outrages j against . law
and order. Had the forbearance of the
Crown been invoked in a becoming tone,
with recognition of its rights to protect
t peaceable and loyal citizens, amnesty might
be a message of peace. At present wo see
no presumption that it would be received in
j that spirit by those who demand it, while it
must operate as a discouragement to those
who helped to crush the Fenian outbreak.
There can benoigreater injustice or impoli
cy than such an act if Ireland is still Fenian
at heart or hostile to union. We believe a
majority of the Irish would rejoice at the
supression of Fenianism, and that some
v who sign the amnesty petitions would be
thankful if the petitions were rejected.

Smith ville f or our bad boys.

The Planters' Convention, held at Mem
phis, expresses the belief that under the
present condition of labor in the cotton
States the crop cannot ever much exceed
3,000,000 of bales. The"yiehl of the year
1859-'C0 was 4,669,770. They base their es
timate of the diminished production ion the
fact that the yield of the present year will
not auite reach 2,500,000: and this large
reduction they explain by the changed con
ditions of the negro population, formerly a
sate reliance lor crops as large as tne mar
kets would bear. 1 hey say that the negro
is devoting more of his time to providing
himself with a greater variety of food than
was made to suffice him in slavery, and
that he is more ambitious to have a small
homestead and some stock than to raise
much cotton ; and that the labor of women,
which formerly did more than half the
work of the-cotton fields, is now almost
wholly withdrawn. This report of the new
state of the freedmen must be true, j It was
to be expected. It is not possible for free
people to live dv cuoice in barracks or
u quarters," nor to work in gangs" every
week-day in the year. The foreigners who
make our turnpike roads, canal?, and rail
roads escape from this manner of living,
just as soon as they have earned and saved
enough to set them free;
The Paris Le Temps newspaper clls the
letter oi x atner iiyacintne nooie and cour
ageous', and thinks it truly a sign of the
times. Le Siecle, another French journal,
is of opinion that the present attitude of
the earnest and eloquent preacher must ex
ercise great influence in the present crisis of
the Roman Catholic Church, while the Jour-
7 i
nal dei -DelaU regards the religious situa
tion as fraught with serious consequences
Russia will not suffer her bishops o attend
the Ecumenical Council ot Rome, i while
German and American bishops who are to
be present will, it is generally believed.
earnestly oppose the views of the ultramon-
tanists. In case the latter triumph, the
world has the half assurance of Father Hya-
cinthe that another council will be called,
"really assembled in the Holy Spirit, not in
the spirit of party ; really representing the
Universal Church, not the silence of some
and the oppression ot others."
Our friends in Pennsylvania and Ohio
has done well, and REPUBLICANS RE-
t
PUDIATE REPUDIATORS will hereafter
be a battle cry. There can be no doubt that
the masses of our people can never be in
fluenced again by demagogic democratic
appeals to the basest sentiments. The
American people may well join in " prayer
and thanksgiving'? on the day set apart by
our glorious chief. Not only for material
benefits but for the great moral victory we
have achieved of which the late elections
are the proof.
Thk question of u mixed schools" is
tatmg the. popular mind at the Capital.
This arises from the folly of appointing two
boards of trustees ; one for colored ; the
other for white children. It would have
been much wiser to have had one board for
all schools, and permitted the scholars to
attend such schools as their parents might
select : there being two classes of -teach
ers one eolored and the other white.
The Cuba-IIornet problem has become
greatly simplified. We see by the Boston
Advertiser that this is almost the only point

A Paris correspondent, examining the
character of Napoleon's disease, says of its
manifestations : i
The temper of the patient j becomes som
ber, suspicious, peevish, pusilanimous; men
and things appear under a sinister aspect;
the will becomes weak, and is subject to the
most contradictory changes ; a project form
ed is immediately abandoned for another
net any more durable ; a decision is hardly
ever .finally and frankly made: there are
always mental reservations; cunning replac-
es boldness, a feverish irritation takes the
place of calmness, the real proportions of
objects and events are exaggerated, and one
is always ready to employ against a reed
the force necessary to uproot an oak.
When a man has been afflicted eight years
by a fungus of the bladder, whose progress
his physicians have been unable to arrest,
his days are numbered. Alter eight years
of treatment the disease, aggravated by age,
is nothing more than a series of relapses,
each one more serious than the last, and of
intermissions of convalescence, eaeh one less
and less reassuring. His hour will come,
not perhaps to-morrow, but in a day not
tar distant.

The New York Sun says: Our church mu
sic is in a pretty bad way. The mania for
arranging operatic pieces, for religious
use is at its height, and so is the desire of
choirs to show off themselves and their ac
complishments,' to sing long anthems in
which each of the four shall have a solo for
self-display, at the successful close of which
they sjnilingly receive the congratulations
of the others. There is as much worship in
this style of thing as there is in the howling
of a half dozen night wandering cats, and
about as much music ; and no ono knows it
better than the unsanctified choirs them
selves. ;
Jerome Hopkins, who,. if not belligerent,
is nothing, has been writing another letter.
Not that thisis at all remarkable, but this
time he takes up the cudgel; in defence of
that best abused, best praised musician,
Richard Wagner. But while he defends he
attacks, and scornfully proclaims that it is
no wonder that Mr. Uhorley does not ap
preciate Wagner, for the English never
accept progress, and even now must have
Schubert and Schuman in broken doses. He
disposes of all the critics in a sentence.
" Herr Wagner," he says, 44 is a giant, and
his detractors are generally ignoramuses."
"Father" Ryan has broken out in afresh
spot, and after blowing treason through his
penny whistle ot a paper in prose; he drivels
in rhyme as follows :"
41 'My brow is bent beneath a - heavy rod !
' My face is wan and white wi,tu many woes,
But I will lift my poor chained hands to God
And for my children pray, and for my foes."
We don't care about his 44 brow" for

MANHOOD.
IN THE YOUNG AND RISING GENERA
tion, the vegetative powers of life are strong,
but in a few years how often the palid hue, the
lack Justre eye and emaciated form, and the im
possibility of application to mental effort,, show
its baneful influence. It soon becomes evident
to the observer that some depressing influence
is checking the development of the body. Con
sumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth is
removed from school and sent into the country.
This is one of the worst movements. Removed
from ordnaary diversions of the every-changing
scenes ot the city, the powers ol the body too
much enfeebled to give xest to healthful and ru
ral exercise, thoughts are turned inwards upon
themselves.
