The aggregate vote Oh tneSe 4ol cities and
towns is, this year, 81 500, against last year,
1os947 showing in a vote 1881 less than
last year an increase of the Union majority OF
6,049. Had the majority this year borne the
same proportion to the aggregate vote that "
did last year, it would have been i1,s4o' IN
stead of 22;SS2 as it is, which shows net
Democratic loss, all things considered' Oh ~
1921 =
The remaining towns and plantations to be
heard from will slightly increase the Union
maiority-perhaps with the light soldiers
vote, bringing ii up to %, 600.
This will do for one year, and shows how
hopeless are all efforts to resurrect the old
Democratic party, which has served out. its
mission and, like any other effete thing should
be numbered among the mouidy things of a
past generation. M
There is a Lesson in our late election which
should not be lost sight of. The Union party
of Maine, in Its State Convention, took bold
and unrnistakeable ground in favor Of equal
rights, equal suffrage, and exact justice to all
men. 1t revealed no weakness, no shrinking
from the issues Of the hour, no lodging of the
responsibilities, no disposition to qualify or re-
init one single iota of the demands which 10y
al men have insisted on as necessary to secure
the future against another invasion ofright,
justice and liberty by the slave power of the
South. 5el q
The victory--the most glorious and trium-
plant of our history-has been achieved on
this high ground, with our banners defiantly
;,,co,;ho1 mill, foa n nd ,,cf;oo IN OH ,,ay,
with the perfect equality of all loyal men be-
fore the law, and the unviolated faith of the
Government with those who, in its hour ofex-
trenity, exchanged their money for its bonds,
though disloyal men and copperheads were de-
crying those bonds as worthless and laboring to-
break down the credit of the government. tF.e5
It's to be borne in mind, also, that the OPP
position took decided ground against equal
suffrage, against the rights Of the colored man
: to'vote for his own rulers and iaw-mak ers, and
in favor Of the initiatory steps towards general
Reputation of the public debt. . -
On such issues the battle was fought, and
the result is shown above, proving that in such
matters as in private and personal affairs, frank
ness honesty, and straight-forwardnes a.e the
sa best guarantees of success, while treachery,
timidity, injustice and bad faith are sure to
bring ruin to those who encourage policy
embracing such elements ak
If the Union men of Ohio, Wisconsin and
some other states. had planted themselves on
TIE same high ground on which our battle
ms been fought we should look for results
e equally gratifying. Bnt they have shrunk from
the responsibility and putforth platforms indi-
Q catiYe Of timidity, weakness and tiine-serving
spirit. If they do not suffer from such cause
we shall be disappointed; if they gloriousIy
succeed in maintaining their ascendency while
pursuing such a policy we shall rejoice, and
feel that, with higher standard, their achiey-
We await the result.

Massacre OF Freedmen.

The Southern Christian IntolIi-
gence of August 3, says that if one
tenth part of the reports are true
which are coming from all parts of the
South thicker and faster, q most
shocking state of things exists. From
localities where they are no National
troops, come reports that the freed
men are being hunted down like dogs
and dispatched without ceremony.
The newspapers in the South are filed
with accounts of these brutal murders,
which swell to an aggregate of seven
hundred deaths per day, which is
doubtless only a small portion of the
number noticed. An Alabama paper
says this business has become so ex-
tensive and common that some plant
ers even boast they could manure
their lands with the dead carcasses of
negroes. Ifnegroes can be shot down
daily in garrisOned towns, where the
auLhoritis arc unable to stop this state
of things, it is very reasonable to sup
pose this brutal WORK is carried on
more extensively where the blacks
have no protection. This wholesale
of human beings Is, we
fear, the practical working of the
conspiracy to exterminate the colOred
race, which is revolving to the Christ
ian age.
The Raleigh Progress of the 10th
learns from Col. Lawrence, command !
ant of the post at GOldsboro, that six
negroes were killed at or near Warsaw
two weeks ago. Their former owner
left on the approach of the Union .
army, the negroes remaining. They /
went to work and made crop. Tho !
former owner returned recently and |
them to leave. The negroes
and the proprietor of the
place, getting some neighbOrs tOgeth-
er with arms, ordered them off again,
and on their refusal to go attacked
them, killing six. A company of SOL
1iers was sent up from Wilmington,
and an investigation will be made, if
il is not done already. ]

A LITTLE TOO RIPE.-As many of our
readers are doubtless aware. 1t IS the Gus
tom of planters in the South to purchase
clothing fer their slaves by the whole
sale; and as of course. they have not the
opportunity to examine closely each ar
dele, they are sometimes swindied by a
few bad ones Being thrown in among the
good. An acquaintance of ours tells US
that on one occasion he laid in a box Of
shoes, and distributed them among the
negroes. a few days afterwards, ''Old
Bob, a favorite servant, found that the
shoes that had fallen 10 his lot were burst
ing out. So, going to his master, he
said:-
"Massa, where you buy desc shoes ?'
81 bought them in New Orleans, Bob, F"
responded cur friend.
''Well, whar did de New Orleans peo-
pie buy'em:"
They bought them from the people
up North. They bought them from the
Yankees"
"Well, where do de Yankees get, ,em p
presisted the negroe.
The Yankees ?-why they pick them
off of trees, Bob"
"W-w-w well, /" responded the darkey,
holding up his shoes, Il recz'n de
Yankees didn't pick desc pair soon
enough, massa; reck'n he waited till
till-till dey was little to ripe."-[Ex-

Aaaalrs in south Carolina.

The HsrGLE's Charleston correspond
ence says: Very little attention has been
paid by army officers to the demands Of
Governor Perry's civil apPOintees, for the
surrender to them Of superior control IN
the administration of affairs, and the Pal
metto State still remains under military
rule. There has been no actual collision,
but considerable disagreement and lack
Of co-opperation between the civil and
military authorities. Gen. Gilmore VINO
recently returned to Charleston from bis
tour through the interior and conference
with Governor Perry, is represented as
stating that the military will maintain
the direction of affairs until the regular
State Government is organized. Conven-
ton candidates appear to be brought out
slowly. Most OF the leading men NOM
mated on the several tickets have with
drawn in favor of new men. The gen
eral disposition of the people IS opposed
to any issue being made but that of the
common welfare There is a sincere de-
sire to elect delegates who viii be accept
able to the Government and Northern
people at large The withdrawal Of so
many of the old citizens leaves it difficult
to make up such a delegation Of expert
enced men as is most needed to compose
the convention in time like the present.
The mechanics have put forth a ticket,
candidates being with one or two cxcep-
tions, men of that peculiar class. AnOJh-
eT class ticket has also appeared, eonpOS-
ed principally of naturalized citizens.
German and Irish, Affairs in the inte-
rIor are improving. A much better state
of feeling is being gradually exhibited by
the whites and blacks towards each other.
