SENSIBLE FOR ONCE.-The Harris
burg ISLcgr0ph, one Of the most sense
less, lying journals in the State, has hit
upon little bit of common SENSE and
truth for once. Comparing the condi-
ti0n Of the negroes in the South now,
with what it was before the success of
abOlitiOnism, il says:
''ln slavery the black man h0d pro-
tecti0H 0ccOrtled him. His life was val
liable to his master. There was money
in the flesh of his wife and children,
and therefore they We're not suffered to
be brutalized unto death. But who
now protects the black man, his Wife,
or his children? They have no pr0tec-
tors. There is no money any longer in
their flesh and bones. They cannot be
bought or sold, and therefore they are
not 0s Udlu0bie as dOGs."
This is the first paragraph that APP
proXimated to truth that we have seen
in that paper for months. If the 3S{e-
grODh don't lose some of its admirers
in this neighborhoOd on account of it,
it will be because it will make up for
being truthful once by lying ten times
harder than ever.--BeitJoate H'atch-
man. ...--

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN TIE 19TH
WARD.-A meeting Of Democratic cit
liens of the Nineteenth Ward was held
last evening, at the corner Of Norris
street and Frankford road, for the pur-
pose Of investigating into the alleged
frauds said to have been committed at
the late election. Mr.. f. Geisicr was
appointed chairman. The committee
appointed at a previous meeting to in
vestigate into the cases Of alleged illegal
voting, reported, through their chair
man, that there had been about sixty
persons who had been guilty of the
oiieuse. Many of these have already
been held by Alderman Kerr toanswer
for the offiense in the sum of $1,000. The
meeting then adjourned until next

Ne have areport from Baltimare that

We have arepOrt from Baitimare that
the grand jury Of that city have indict-
ed Forncy for his malicious attempts to
incite riots in the Monumental CITY,"
1t is sincerely to be hoped that this re-
port is true, and that he will be tried,
convicted and sent to State Prison for
the term of his natural life. Forney's
offence is rank. He deliberately, and
with maliceafo. athought, tried to ineite
the negroes andrutfians of Baltimore to
rise against the constitutional anthori-
ties, and drench the cityin blood. There
are many better and purer-minded men
in State Prison than Forney. By all
means let him be '.jugged." IN Y.

IL justice We're done, Iliester Clymcr
would be the next occupant OF the Gu
bernatorial chair. He was honestly
elected, and to allow him to be cheated
out of his place is base cowardice on the
part of the 300, ,000 white men who vo-
ted for him. II our State Central Com
mittee will take the matter in hand, it
can show up the frauds by which Geary

THE Democrats pollcd 100000 vote.

THE Democrats poiled 100000 votes
at the recent election, ard get under
the present infamous apportionment,
6 members Of Congress. The Radicals
polled BOG, 900 votes, and get Is mem
bers. In other words, it takes 1884
Democratic votes to elect a member of
Congress, Whilstit takes but 1000 Rad
ical votes to do the same thing. Is
there any fairness, or honesty, in such
an app0rti0nment?

TIE FENIAN PRISONERS.

Two Of the Fenian prisoners in Can
ada have been tried, convicted, and
sentenced to suffer death. Their names
are r. b. Lynch and John Mcmahon
the former Colonel of the Fenian
forces, and the latter priest, who ac-
companied the Fenians in the capacity
of Chaplain. We hope that these un-
fortunate men will not be made to suf-
fer the penalty adiudged to them.
Their ofense is purely a political one,
and Great Britain can afford to be mag
unanimous to those who committed it.
All America will plead for the release
of the ill-starrcd Fenians, and especi-
ally the Democracy of the country will
rise up as one man to demand that not
one hair of their heads shall be hurt.
The Irish people have been true and
tried friends of this Republic. Shall
they now be fticndless in their deep
affection? No, the Government of the
United States owes them its best and
strongest word in behalf Of mercy.
That word will be spoken and in tone
that cannot be mistaken. Let it not be
delayed a single day.
Since writing the above, we have
read with great qualification the pro-
ceedings of the Democracy of New
York city, assembled in Tammany
Hall, for the purpose of taking action
upon the cases of Lynch and Mcmahon.
The resolutions passed by this assem-
blage demand that the Fenian prison
crs be delivered to the United States
authorities, and warn the British gov
ernment that if their blood be shed it
shall not flow unavenged. We have,
also, the satisfaction of laying before
our readers the following letter from
Secretary Seward to Sir Frederick
Bruce, the British Minister at Wash
ington, which gives ample assurance
that the United States government will
not permit the execution Of Lynch and
Mcmahon.

TIE DATE OF THE NEGRO PERIOD.

1t will be remembered how vehem-
entity John Cessna and other sharp ora
tors Of the Radical Disunion party, pro-
tested that the Civil Rights Bill did not
mean Negro Suffrage. They knew
that their own party would construe
it to mean that very thing, and yet, in
order to bIindfoId their party, they
stood up and lied them intoi its endorse
ment. Read the following which we
copy from an Ohio paper and then tell
us that the Radicals don't claim the
right ofsuffrage for the blacks under
the Civil Rights Bill:
The date of the negro-equaIity peri
Od, inthe Northern Statessmay be fixed
at October 9, 1856. In Ohio the negroes
were allowed to vote, without distinc-
ton of color, at all poIls-Outside of a

HEADQuABTERs DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF,
New ORLEANS, Oct. %.
GENERAL: / am satisfied that there
is only one way in which the state Of
affairs on the Rio Grande can be settled,
and that is by giving the heartiest sup
port TO the only government in Mexico
recognized by our own, the only one
which is really favorable to our own.
You will, therefore, warn all adhereEtS
of any party OF pretended govern
ment in Mexico, or in the State of
Tamaulipas, that they will not be per-
mitted 10 violate the neutrality laws
between the Liberal government .of
Mexico and the United States, and also
that they will not be permitted TO re-
main on our territory, and receive the
protection of our flag, in order to COM
piete their Vaccinations for the viola
ton Of our neutrality laws.
These instructions will be enforced
against the adherents of the imperial
buccaneer, representing the so-called
Imperial Government of Mexico; and
also against the Ortega, Santa Anna
and other factions. President Juarez
is the acknowledged head of the Lib
eral Government Of Mexico.
