On "Wednesday last a prominent
Copperhead Of this city, bravely stood
back upon our worthy Mayors porch,
laughing and moekipgat our brave boys
who we're then filing into rauks, prior
to marching to the Fair Ground, to
to partake Of the generous hospitality
Of the loyal eitizensof Seneca county.

was uttered in, favor Of condemned

we see hun on, Moupte Bank day?-
Why, he stood for hours in tho hot
sun on the Court House pavement
preaching 0opperheadism. that; which
he dare not do in the presence of our
Boys in Blue. We cannot account
for il in ma other way, that it was
MenageriS day, and as Dan Rice only

Copperhead Leaders and the Negrol I

There Is quite a number Of the lead
ers of the Copperhead organization,
that boasts that on the question of ne.
gro suffrage, "there is no hook or
crook in the copperhead record upon
which to hang such charge. . We
submit four questions to the talented
editor'ofa certain sheet printed in
this city, for the benefit of his patty,
and trastthat' he will furnish them
the proper light upon this question.
The following are the questions :,
1. The Democratic party gave the
negroes in Ncw York the right to
vote; True, they required that every
lnegrp should be worth $3.50 to entitle
him 70 the elective franchise, but the
numbered negro voters in that State
is about 1900. Martin Van Buren
was President Of the Convention that
allowed them 10 vote, and the Dem
oeratic party afterwards elected him
President of the United Saates. Ev-
erybody will recollect, who was fa-
miliar with the canvass Of 1910, that
the Wings again and again charged
the Democrats with being'in favor of
negro suffrage, and, in that election
Van Buren, got the support of negroes
in all the States where they were en-
titled TO vote, 10 2N8ts
2. The Democratic party made the
negro a voter in Maine, with the same
qualifications as white men. 7!-
3. The Democratic party mado the
negfo,ha'6ter In Massachusetts, and
gave him equal political rights with
tho whites. "'n a VA
4. The Democratic party gave the
negro the elective franchise in New
Hampshire,

Who made mulattocs legal voters

Chief Justice. The same party af-
terward elected Wood Governor.
rEiWho married a negro woman Of

Let these answer, aud 1 am content

The second period in our career
now opens up before us. We are at
the threshold Of the grandcst epoch
of the worlds history. OF the i'm
mediate future we are to be the archi-
tccts, and in our hands is the destiny
of centuries.
Without the stern disciplin through
which we have just passed we should
scarcely be competent to the great and
responsible work Before us. But that
ordeal of fire and blood has fitted W
for the mighty undertaking, aud pre-
pared us for the accomplishment of
our destiny.
In its accomplishment We mustrcly
for support upon the soldiers of the
war of 81. We should be guided by
them rather than by politicians by
trade. The unerring instinct of the
soldier leads him to contend for the
supremacy OF the Consultation, and TO
follow the flag OF the Union. We

Tar TOBACCO ORDER.-Wm. Cam, clerk at a
drug store on Main street, was, on yesterday ar
rested by detective Bray, for refusing to obey the
.sTobacco Order"-eVerybody knows what that is.
For fear, however, that some OF our readers might
get into trouble through ignorance of this order,
We will state that they are expected, detective
presenting himself aud demanding to know how
much tobacco they have, to tell him at once all
about it.
1t appears that Mr.. Cam, on getting to the police
headquarters, was gniltI of the further offence OF
drawing pistol and threatening to shoot detective
Bray. He was sent to Castle Thunder.

3lth North Carolina regiment, was arrested Mon
day night by detective Reece, on the charge Of
selling forged furloughs and disc barge papers
Ga his person were found large number OF blank
printed fnrloughs, discharges medical certificates,
SC. He confessed that he and large number Of
others engaged in the bogus furlough aud dis
charge business 1t seems he had the blanks print
ed in Augusta, and forged the signatures TO such
as he sold by placing genuine paper on the inner
pane of window and putting the blank over it,
tracing on the latter the signatures, which could
be distinctly seen through the paper. His price
for flrlOugh was $500; for final discharge and
certificate OF permanent disability, $500.
