North who will prevent for they are Yankees and

silver and copper disappeared from the face of the land
S. Now when a certain man named Salmon OF the
tribe which dwsH between the waters OF the Ohio and

Q. And they answered HIM Go and grind, that we
lack not for money wherewh to purchase for our
men, and hardtack and pork to feed them.

and his mills ground day and night for many years. and
money that was not of gold, of silver yet oil

II not, iHdeed, the .ablest, Repu bican Journal
in Northern Iowa, makes wry faces in its at
tempt To swallow the Des Moines nomination,
aud supports the ticket with an apparent pro-
test against Stone"
The conclusion the Herald arrives at
leads us to the irresistible conclusion
that it is not qualified to pronounce Oh
the GAzETTE's ability. The GAZETTE
was the first paper in the State to sug-
scst the denomination of Stone, and, as
may therefore be naturally supposed, is
emincntly well satisfied with the result.
The assertion of the Herald is simply
ridiculous, and can only be accounted
for by its anxiety to encourage the Clay
ton County yotomal.

pie of North Carolina are anxious to
have the State filled with Northern set
tiers, and desire to have their resources
fully developed. The feeling is very
strong in favor of the Row system of
labor, and large majority express glad
ness at the abolition ofslavery. They offer
for sale or lease large quantities of land,
gold, iron and lead mines and water
power, and offer liberal inducements to
emigration. This is the first step of

soldiers persisted during the last two

to sustain life; issuing to them spoiled
meat as part of their rations; forcing
them to drink water into which the

prisoners together until they died, and
refusing to give them shelter FROM heat
and cold; rObbing them of their cloth

ACoUITTAL OF Miss HAREIS.-The
trial of Miss Mary Harris, at Washing
ton, for the murder of her lover, A. j.
Burroughs, a Department clerk, was
concluded on Wednesday of last week.
The jury, after an absence of only ten
minutes, returned a verdict of mot
Guatyn A Washington dispatch says
"The announcement was read with
loud applause. Some of the women cried
with joy. Handkerchiefs were waved,
and hats thrown up. Large numbers OF
spectators rushed towards Miss Harris
to congratulate her on her acquittal, the
words of which had scarcely been an
nounced when she tainted, and was la
ken from the court room in the arms OF
Mr.. Bradley, her senior counsel. Per
sons outside caught up and repeated the
EXPLANATIONS of JOY"
A correspondent of the n. Y. Times
gives the following account Of the recep-
ton of the verdict:
"A tremendous cheer arose, and the
greatest delight was manifested. Eve

Mr.. Bradley, and few caught her by
the hand. Up OH chairs, tables and win
dow stills jumped the crowd, uttering
cheer after cheer, the ladies waving
their handkerchiefs, the men their hats.
The Marshal stood moving his mouth,
n ridiculous but pitcous sight. He was
evidently saying something about or
der; but those nearest to him could not
hear him. Every cheer given inside
was echoed by the throng outside. Miss
Harris tainted. She was taken out OF
the room by Mr.. Bradley. The Judge
left the bench, and the crowd hustled
each other out of the room to mingle
with the hundreds outside whe were
awaiting to see the heroine pass out
which fifteen minutes after she did

Judge himself, together with his wife,
waited on the opposite side of the corn

ington since the celebrated one so often
alluded to in favor of and against Miss
HarriS-the Sickles case.

Argument for Negro Suffrage.

The New York Ncacs, an ultra Demo
cratic paper, is thorough convert to
the doctrine of Negro suffrage. From
one of it's forcible editorials we extract
the following, which we commend to
the Democratic press Of Iowa;
The right to vote belongs TO each male
citizen of twenty-oDe years of age. 1t is
| his by birth; and he, by operation of
law, becomes citizen of the United
States, and entitled to all rights, privi-
leges and immunities through the rela-
tions of his native State to the National
Union. The elective franchise is his
inherent right; the exercise alone is sub
ject to State regulation. Congress has
the exclusive power to make uniform
law of naturalization. BY birth or nat
uralization the relation of the citizen to
The slave trade has been discontinued
since 1908, and therefore we assume that
the blacks in the Southern States are
nearly all natives of this country. Here
tofore nothing stood between them and
full citizenship but their condition of
involuntary servitude; "the compro-
missing expedient Of the Constitution
which regards them as Inhabitants, but
as debased by seruitude below the equal
level of free inhabitants, which regards
the Stare as Invested of two-fifths of the
man" Even under this "expedicnt"
they bore political relation, through
their owners, to society, and were thro'
them represented much in the mode i'm
which an infant or married woman is
related and represented through the
father or husband. The exact legal and
political condition of the slave la this
country has not always been clearly APP
preciated. An eminent writer well de-
fines him to be "a person who is related
to society through another person, call
ed a master, to whom he owes due SER
vice or labor, and from whom he is en-
titled to receive support and protection"
Nothing stood between the slave and
JuH citizenship but this involuntary
service; that impeachment is gone thro'
the actual operation of the war, and the
liberated black stands himself q citizen
in his own proper person, and not thro'
the relation of another "called a mas
ter" Then, if the abstract right to vote
inheres in every citizen, why not in the
native black man? What rule of law
denies him that right? Is it, candidly,
in the power of the State or of the Ma
tional Government to give or to with
hold the right? Is it not his absolute
personal right nor that he is liberated?
And if it is his, who shall take it from
him, or who shall come between him
and the State of which he is a citizen
It, as all other civic rights, may be for
feited by an adequate crime. But this
is common to all citizens.

THE Government is proceeding rapid
ly with the work of dishanding the ar
mics of the United States. Since the
surrender Of Johnston, up to July 18th,
the large number of two hundred and
eight thousand, nine hundred and thir-
ty-seyen soldiers, with eleven thousand
three hundred and eighteen horses, and
six thousand, nine hundred and fifty
mules, have been sent away from Wash
ington by the Baltimore and Ohio II. r.
either bound west or north. They en-
braced the men of Meade's and Sher-
mans armies. Very large numbers of
men have been sent North by other
means Of conveyance from the Atlantic
coast. Large numbers of volunteers in
the West, along the Mississippi, have
also been discharged, the whole number
discharged being probably not less than
three hundred and fifty thousand men.
The navy has also been greatly reduced
by discharges of seamen.-ChicagOJ Jour.

From the New York Tribune.
The 4cduittai.

Burroughs Tilted Mary Harris, and she
shot him. Had she Tilted him, and he
had therefore shot her, nobody would
have adjudged him guilty of insanity.
But she is woman; and it is virtually
adjudicated that woman who shoots
the man who has been faithless to her
is necessarily insane. We don't see it.
Yet there is rough, "wild Justice"
in this and kindred verdicts. Our laws
are made by men, and they are not just
to woman. They ought to punish the
conspirator against female purity Sc
verely but they do not, because too
many of our Legislators and jurists are
libertines. That is rather blunt way
of stating it; but it is the fact. This city
is full to-day of dens of lewdness, each
of them perpetual snare for female in
nocence. Every woman Tor man) who
makes gainful trade of ministering to
others lechery should be felon by
statute; every one who conspires or aids
to deprive girl of her virtue should be
punished at least as severely rs burg
lar, a forger, or a highway robber. They
are not so punished, because it is to
many magnates inconvcnient that they
should be. Yet the wrong is felt, tho
not redressed; hence the rude equation
effected by such verdicts as that which
has just acquitted Miss Harris. --

In ERRoR.-The Cedar Falls G GAZETTE,
i'm a short notice of the celebration of
the 4th, at this place, unintentionally of
course, does our Fire Company injustice,
when it charges that, in the fight which
disgraced our streets, Red Jacket Fire
Company was a party. A few of the
members of the company We're engaged
in the affair, in the capacity of peace
makers but not as original participants,
and should be named honorably in con-
nection with the disturbance. Red
Jacket Fire Company would be the last
body of men in this community to en-
gage in street fight, but to put out a
fire or quiet street disturbance, they
would be neither the last to lend a hand
nor the first to retire from the scene
We eXonerate the GAZETTE from any
intentional injustice to our Fire Com
pany, in its item alluded to above. =
We have prepared an item giving
the full particulars of the affair on the
4th, but through some oversight it did
not reach the hands of the compositor,
and was not noticed until too late for
the ISSUE Waterloo Courier 20th inst.
