The Plain Truth.

The National Intelligencer Of the 20 ult,
in an able article ON the recent registfa-
ton in the South, has the following on
our State. Is NOT this true picture OF
how poor Louisiana has been Sheridan
ized7
Look, however. at Louisiana, where
General Banks, if we remember Alright,
reported officially that the negroes had
decreased one-fonrth. Before the war
a white population Of 35l ,557; cast So,
SO votes, or one to every seven per-
sons. Now, we have only A ,732 whites
on the lists. The black vote is 81, 9O7.
If we take the same ratio OF seven to
one we have a black population Of 5oO,
$40. If we take six and a half to one
the usual ratio in other States, we have
538, 1896 as the present black population.
In 1860 they had 345, 273-a negro in
crease in seven years of over $4,000,
or fully fifty per cent, though accor-
ding to General Banks, the race had
fallen off one-fourtb. Does the Radi-
cal Reconstruction" bring deadlnegroes
to life again; or does it not duplicate
the livingq We are confident this re-
suit could not have been secured ever
by registering the negroes from elgh'
teen to twenty-one years of age, as hal
been literally done all over the South

THE PRospEcr IN New YohK.-1n New
York, as in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the
prospect Of Democratic success is excellent.
A letter from there to Democratic cotem-
porary says
"But, whether negro suffrage is brought
in or left out, the Radicals will find another
issue, almost as dangerous, in the field be-
fore them, Here, as in California, there is
wide spread disafection in the ranks
Thousands Of Germans, who have hitherto
been with them heart and soul. have cut
loose from them on account of the Cypress
i've liquor law, and will vote the Democratic
ticket. The fauatical Sunday law alone
will cast the Radicals party from ten to
fifteen thousand votes in the State. There
will be no gain to emphatically offset this
loss, for the Radicals have not gained il
any State these two years. We have, then
the very best Of reasons to expect a Radi
cal defeat in the Empite State next Novem
ber."

FATHER ABRAHAM RYAN.-This

FATHER ABRAHAM RYAN.-This po-
ct Priest-better known as Monia, /"
the author Of the Conquered Banner''
and other lyrics, preached on the Goth
of August at Atlanta Ga,
"The New Era, published in that city
writes Of Father Ryan's preaching as
follows:
Sunday last was a marked and truly
important day for our Catholic friends
in this city, caused by the delivery, at
II o'clock A. M. Of a discourse ofuncom-
mon power and eloquence, by the rev.
erend gentleman whose name heads
this article. The text was from Acts
5th chapter 38th and Goth verses: "And
now | say unto to you, refrain from
these men, and let them alone, for il
this council or this work be of men, it
will come to naught, but if it be of God
We cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye
be found even to fight against God.
The sermon occupied full hour in
delivery, and Notwithstanding the heat
was almost insufferable and the neat
little church crowded to its utmost Ca
pacity, and every one present listened
with marked attention which can only
be won and held by the purest and
most melting eloquence. The discourse
was brim full Of concentrated gospel
power, such as is seldom heard in These
times of human depravity. 1t was, in
fact, marked throughout by great com.
prehensiveness, strong common sense
vigor and beauty Of style, fulness and
felicity of illustration and thorough
warmth and spirituality Of tone. III
words were most truly wholesome words
even the words of our Lord and Saw
ior Jesus Christ, and its doctrine wa
sound and moderate according to god

try. The so-ealled Republican party,
which how controls the country, is the
legitimate successor of the Federal,
Wing, and Know Nothing parties,
against which the Democratic party
fought so long, and over which the Ex-
President believed it had finally TIL
umphed. There is not a single princl-
pie advocated by Alexander Hamilton
which is not advocated in an aggrava-
ted form by the Black Republican par
ty of to-day. If indeed they have
abandoned the idea OF a monarchy ana
a British Constitution, they have adopt
ed in their stead tho idea of mobocra-
cy and no Constitution at all. 1t Ham
ilton refused to pay off the nationa!
debt because it was a national blessing,
his successors have pushed his ideas of
q national blessing far beyond his wild
est dreams or most extravagant antici-
pations. and even beyond the reallza-
ton of his model government OF Great
Britain. If Hamilton wanted one Ma
tional Bank, as an indispensable adj
| junct to the "money power" his des-
cendants have established National
Bank in every village, and have driven
from circulation every other medium OF
exchange but National paper money
Hamilton's "Report on Manufacturers
as monstrous as its doctrines appeared
to the minds of our Republican fathers,
never contemplated any such a "pro-
tective system" as that which now
curses the United States, after every
other civilized nation has abandoned
the system as ruinous to individual OF
national prosperity. Aud so with all
the other minor Federal principles.
Opposed still to this party-with its
new name and ancient principles
the Democratic party, with. virtually
the same platform as when it lett the
hands of the sage Of Monticello
Though prescribed now, it still ha'
much of it's prestine vigor left. Ever.
where the people are again looking tt
it to save the country from destruction
They can hope for salvation from nj
other power. If that party can sue
j. coed in wrestling the government from
the Federal destructionists who nov
control it, the country may yet b
: saved from the catastrophe which ap
parently waits it. If, on the contrary
the Revolutionists should perpetual
: their power through another admins
! tration, the country is lost beyond al
hope of redemption.

the public to the ineficiency Of the (so-
called remedies of others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not of the class that are
