announcement with undisgniscd pleasure.

infamous misrepresentation Of the tray-
cling hirelings oftbe Northern press who,
for a political object, nude it Their
business to poison the minds Of the North
On people with sheer fabrications Of the
deadlysfcrociky'' Of our people toward
Northern men. The Argus adds
We are pleased to- know that the
false Impressions produced By these m
~scrupul0us correspondents arc being dis
PEELED. 1t il wells Whatthe South wants
isinore men and more capital. Let the
Northern men come along as quickly as
may be. Those who come first will have
greatly the aty ,ntage. This is obvious.
We want them to come and see for them
selvepsthe true state Of things down here.
Let them bring as much white labor as
possible with them. The negroes hsve
been terribly thimed out By the war; ana
besides. those who remains do not work
as well as they did i'm state of slavery
and i is 70 be feared that they never will.
The higher they nre elevated by the pol
i!lclans in the scale of society, the less
they. will work.
iiis being so-and we arc willing to
stnke onr best judgment on its truth
" is plain that the cotton crop Of the Santli
must long continue to fall fur short Of
what it was before the war--far short of
supplying the markets of The world-until

The Scheme of the EnemY.

A call is published in the Copper
head papers of Iowa, addressed to
the Conservative Republicans of
that State, and headed with the name
of THOMAS I'll. BENTON, gJR., (the
Democratic candidate for Governor
at the last State election for the pur-
pose oforganizing party to be known
as the " National Union party"
OF course the whole scheme is Demo
cratic, and is attempted in the hope
of being able thus to break up the
great Republican Union organization.
This is not the first time the Con-
federates have hoisted the " stars and
stripes for the purpose of deceiving the
Union men. They did it at Wilson's
Greek and sundry other places during
the war. The tactics, successful on
one or two occasions, have been
adopted by them as the very best
mode Of conducting an engagement,
whether with bullets or ballots. We
are of the opinion that the Union
men of Iowa, and every other loyal
State, understand the character of
their adyersaries too well to be de-
ceived by them.

Down on the Fenians.

The Democratic papers have been
laboring hard to make a little capital
out of the Fenian movement. What.
must be their establishment on learn
ing that their great leader, JEFF. DA-
Wis, has the most supreme contempt
for the whole enterprise. DIR. Ora
VEN, in his book on the prison life of
DAVIS, which the Courier is now en-
gagged in publishing, 1--WE trust it will
not omit DAVIS on the Fenians) rep
resents that distinguished rebel as
expressing the following views of the
Fenian movement in this country and
Ireland:
The present Fenian movement for Ire
land was farce to make angels weep. The
last attempt was in 1s4S, when the popula-
ton of Ireland was more than a million
larger-the movement originating at
home, and all Europe in a convulsive and
volcanic condition. History gave no ex-
ample of an oppressed race that had ac-
cepted exile, retaarning with success to lib
crate their native land, The aristocratic
refugees of the French revolution, indeed,
got back to their country, but only under
the swords of a combination in which
England, Austria, Russia, Prussia and the
German States were enlisted, with their
whole military resources. It was a mere
catch penny clamor of designing dema-
gogues in its Cis-Atlantic aspect; nor could
he see that in Ireland there was an organf-.
cation, or even vigorous purpose to ac-
complish the object proposed. England's
control of the sea was absolute, at least so
near home, against any less combination
than the navies OF. France and America.
To land men or arms in any sufficient
quantity in Ireland, would require some
desperate sea-fights by navy with navy,
and transportation fleet, costing for ves-.
sells and their equipments not less than
some hundreds millions. The men en-
gagged in this manner must be either fools
or rogues. He had no special cause to love
England, nor dislike; but such impraetic-
able and pigmy threatenings of her empire
would be ludicrous if not too sad. Against
the rocks of her coast, storna-cIouds of a
thousandfold the Fenian power had
dashed with clamor of waves and mist of
spray, but next morning the sun shone
bright again, the air was calm, and only in
shore strewn with wrecks could evidence
be found of any past connection"
1t seems that DAVIS regards the
leading Fenians as either fools or
rogues. G

Mean.

Mr.. GFRoERER, of the Denaokrat,
says he was served a mean trick by
the Courier Company ON Wednesday
evening. That Company has been
printing his paper for some time; but,
as he has purchased new press,
Thursdays paper was the last edition
the Courier Company was asked to
print. On Wednesday evening, Mr..
GFRoERER went home, thinking that
ali was right. Greatwas his astonish-
ment, yesterday morning, to find that
his paper did not appear. On in
quiring into the matter, he found that
the Courier Company had printed the
outside " of his paper, but had neg
lected or refused to print the " inside !"
pages. The Den,okrdt was therefore
delayed until he could get the inside
pages worked off at the JOURNAL
ofice-not being distributed until near
IL o'clock. Mr.. GFRoERER thinks
the trick was both small and mean.
We know nothing about it further
than he has given information.

THE friends of HESTER CLYMER,
the Copperhend candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, who are trying
to get the soldiers to vote for him,
are much annoyed by the publication
of the records of the proceedings in

These show that CLYMER voted against
every act to increase the pay of sol
diers, to secure the right of suffrage
or to honor them for their achieve
ments.

1886, at 10 o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose

sional district of Indiana, and for the tram
saction of such other business as may pro-

On the second page of this morn
ing's JOURNAL we copy the report of
the great Union meeting held in Indi-
annapolis on Tuesday evening, as it
appeared in the Indianapolis Herald
of Wednesday morning. The Herald is
the State organ of the Confederate
Democracy. We have not omitted or
changed solitary head line or para
graph. We give the article-revolt-
ing as it is-to show our readers the
depths of infamy into which the lead
ing Copperhead papers of the State
have plunged in order to secure sue
cess. The vilest hdbitues of the worst
sinks of pollution in our large cities
could hardly be guilty of using worse
language than the Herald furnishes
its readers, who, it claims, are as
respectable as any in the State 1t is
manifestly resolved that they shall
not long remain respectable, if it is
possible to corrupt them by the print
ing of the vilest insinuations and the
most offensive phrases.
The Herolds account of the Union
meeting, furnishes ready proof of Gov.
MoRToN's remark that the Dem
ocratic party may be described as
common sewer and loathsome recep-
tacle into which is emptied every ele-
ment of treason North and South,
and every element of inhumanity and
barbarism that has dishonored the
age"
