Our New Arrangements to Prevent
any more Attempts to Exclude the
"LeAder" from the Mails.
To guard against any more attempts on
the part Of the Reconsideration of the
Herald to tamper with the circulation of
the LEADER by excluding it from the
mails, we shall hereafter, as soon as we
get our list of subscribers classified for
the different railroad routes, deliver, as far
as practicable, all our mails direct to the
mail agents on board the cars, and thus, to
a great extent be entirely independent of
the Cleveland post Office. By this course
we shall be more certain that the LEADER
will not unnecessarily be detained, and
thus insure more prompt delivery to our
subscribers.
We are still receiving letters complains
ing of the irregularityof the receipt of the
LEADER. We would here say to all who
are suffering from such delays, that all our
papers have been sent to the post Office
promptly and on time, and that the 1ault
is not ours. They are indebted to the ac-
ton taken by Postmaster Benedict to de-
tain the LEADER, and prevent it from
reaching its subscribers, although his own
paper the Herald mailed under precisely
the same circumstances in all cases, is not
subject to the same treatment.
The Herald has not yet Yentured 3 de-
fence of the strange course of its POstmas-
ter-editor, and we do not think it ever will,
for the reason that it knows he has com
mitted an unwarranted and unlawful act,
and cannot defend it.

The Anticipated Negro outbreaks.

The following dispatch has been pub
lished throughout the country:
"MoBILE, December 3I.-The Negroes
are quiet and exceedingly friendly. There
is no danger of a disturbance in the city"
What a humiliating admission is this
for those who for months have busted
themselves with concooting stories of
Negro outbreaks to occur during the hol-
idays. These Buncombe fctions were
circulated until the day preceding New
Years, when they were quietly withdrawn.
The infamous character of these ISLANDERS
will be realized when it is remembered
that not a single disturbance has occurred
between the races since the overthrow of
slavery but is directly chargeable to the
tyranny or ruffianism Of pro-slavery or
inebriated whites. The Christmas riot at
Alexandria was begun by drunken whites.
Numerous difficulties of less prominence
have all been traced to similar causes.
This spirit of rufianism has even invaded
our own State. "A property owner in
Canton, Stark county, recently received a
warming" of which the following is a
sample:
sold Sebalt, this is to Motif you to take
warning of n thing it is this Don't rent
your houses to no more niggers. If you
do some thing will happen witch may be
fatal tOyour self and property"
These a wild cats" as they style them
selves, go on to recite outrages previously
inflicted by by them upon u~nofending
Negroes threaten arson, and insinuate "a
cote of tar and fethers."
Strongly in contrast with the Aendish
spirit evinced by these irrepressible en-
emies Of the freedmen, is the letter of the
rebel Gen. Pillow to Gen. Howard, an
nouncing the complete success of the free
labor system on his plantations. A few
Southern papers, too, are speaking out
The Western Citizen, published at
Paris, Kentucky, says:
"Let our farmers offer only fair prices
and they will get as much labor as they
need, in very short time"

A London capitalist came to me not

"Sir," he went on to say, show I earned
that two hundred thousand-how from

rands to taking care of boss; to trading

An Unexpected Compliment.

The London Times closes an article on
American affairs with the following words,
more complimentary than it was wont to
utter prior to the hour Of our final victory
over armed rebellion:
i~No protestations are needed to con-
vince the world of the peaceful designs of
the American people. The republic had
armies in the field numbering their humid
reds of thousands, which, after encounter
ing q protracted and stubborn resistance,
found themselves suddenly in the possess
ion Of complete victory In the moment
of their success, flushed with the triumph
they had achieved and intoxicated with
glory, they have not demanded to be led
against any new enemies; they have not
murmured at sudden dismissal. Armies
have been quietly disbanded, and humid
reds of thousands of volunteers have gene
homeward as men turn to their accustomed
work. These are facts more eloquent than
any speeches which can be delivered. This
last triumph of the American nation is
its greatest, for it is a triumph in which
rulers can claim no share, and for which
Generals can askno credit. 1t is a triumph
of the citizens themselves who went to
the rescue of their country when its unity
appeared in danger, and now betakethem-
selves to their fields and homesteads when
the danger ispast." hfa5g.

cause they are not in circumstances to COM
ply with the required bail. In Massachu-
sets the Treasurer gives bonds of 800, 900;
New York requires a bond of $50, 900 only.
Is it expedient that Ohio should continue on
the statute book such anomalous legation p
Mr.. Hooper reports that since the last
report there will have accrued to the
Treasury up to the 18th of January up
wards of $4,000, derivable from interest
upon 7-3o notes and upon compound inter-
est legal tender notes, and suggests that
the surplus in the Treasury be invested in
National or Ohio securities, by which he
estimates that they might be made to
yield to the State $4,000, or upward, per
annum in interest and at the same time
be available for the demands or claims
upon the Treasury. He recommends the
appointment of a Board consisting of the
Treasurer, Auditor and Governor to de-
termine upon such investments.
There is in the Treasury-gold, $685.
300; silver, s2,134, which, being dead
capital, should be sold for currency.

A PracticaT Joke i'm the Indiana Leg.
rf -r- isIafure.

~ -F RI = islafure.
indianapolis Correspondent Cincinnati Gazette
DIR. W, Clinton Thompson, Senator
from this district, is a gentleman of en-
thusiastic temperament. When he en-
tiers into anything he does it with his
whole soul. He fixed his affections on a
mechanics Lien" bill, of which ne was
the parent. The Senate had no objection
to the bill. which was really a good one,
but, to bore the Doctor, agreed to vote it
down, and afterward reconsider. The
bill was voted down accordingly. The
Doctor was thunder-struck for a moment,
and then galvanically s~pringing to his
feet, he poured forth a storm of fervid
argument, mingled with eloquent invec-
tive, winding up with a hot period to the
effect that every man who could deliber-
ately vote against such q bill was worthy
of, and would inevitably receive, eternal
damDation. The Doctor took his seat in
a-tremor of angry excitement. After al
lowing a reasonable time for the Doctors
d-enunciations to soak into the souls of
the Senators, General Tom Bennett arose,
and in the most solemn and sepulchral
manner asked leave to change his vote,
assigning as a reason, that he didn't want
to be eternally damned, Another men,
Der followed, stating that in order to es-
cape eternal damnation, he humbly asked
the privilege of changing his vote. And
SO it went, member after member arising
and asking the same privilege, for the
Eamareason, until the score IA unani-
mc6s in favorssof the Mechanics Lien.
The Doctor, BY this time, began to see it.
Gracefully acknowledging the joke, be
