The Dayton 20 } Journal gives an &C
conn. of the celebration of VallanIis-
hams birth day. near that city. during
which the Gsuder Swamp Democracy be-
came belligsrent. and several persons were
dangerously hurt. We used to live in
that Congressional District. and the men.
tion of Gandsr Swamp reminds us Of the
classical names of the strongholds Of De-
mocracy with which the District abounds.
By the way. some sixteen years ago. .
Democratic Legislature cut out Dis
,rict for vsllsndigham's especial bene6t.
composed of the strong Whig County of
Prsble, the stronger Democratic County
of Butler, and the closely contested Coun-
ty Of Montgomery and, notwithstanding
the District was heavily Democratic. he
succeeded in being elected only twice.
The heavy Republican County Of Warren
has sirce been added to the District. and
il is now represented by Gen. Schenck.
But. as we started ont to say. there
we're certain localities scattered through
ont the District. bearing sweet-sounding
names. which were noted for their igno-
rance, their ruff ,nism. and their Democ-
rscy. There was scarcely man 10 those
neighborhoods who was not Democrat
-if there was. he was out of bis element.
and persecuted-and the crowds that
they turned ont at elections and Demo.
cratic meetings. were feast for the eye
sight. Such localities as Gander Swamp.
Bear Greek. Possum Run. Dry Run,
Toms Rnn. Bowsersvills. Egypt. Post
town. Longs Corners. Glander's Still
House. Dumb Hundred. and Buzzard
Roost, were as famous for their Democ-
racy in Jackson's time as they are to-
day and il the light should ever stream
into their dark precincts. and q majority
of the denizens be converted to a modern
and human faith. we are strongly OF the
opinion that these famous old places
would be re.christensd, and that their
old.time classical and musical names
would be preserved only iu tradition.

E The Colorado, on her last trip
up, could not get from Forest City to
this place through the old channel Of the
river. but was compelled to 60 back to
the mouth of the slough" and come
up through that channel. This is what
has long been anticipated and as the
river is not yet near it's lowest stage. it is
probable that boats will not be able to
navigate the old channel ct all, during
the latter part of the season. The new
channel sbortens the distance between
here and Iowa Point about one-half, but
it is bad on Forest City.

Objects of PITY.

Among the numerous objects of pity
in cur land, one of the most numerous
class are those poor, benighted souls who
are afraid the negro is going to be placed
on an eqnaliiy with them. We have
some in Kansas. A notable specimen is
the person who edits the Wyandotte
Democrat. He shrieks himself hoarse,
every week. over the prospective eleva.
tion Of the negro. and. MS he thinks. the
consequent degradation of white men Of
his stripe. After browsing about in the
brush. in Missouri. for FIVE or six years.
he comes TO Kansas, to warn the people
hare against the horrors of negro equality.
and contribute his puny efforts toward
retarding the car of progress. Kansas
is the worst place in The world for that.
and this is mighty bad year for his
business. Kansas is the place where
they set such balls in motion. In Kan
sss the great work was inangnrated
which sent such fellows rs he into the
brush, and made Missouri too unhealthy
for them. Kansas is poor place Of refuge
for such cattle. They might as we'll seek
shelter from grape and canister. by creep
ing into tho muzzle of the cannon that pro-
jects them. The very next discharge
will scatter them to the elements. Before
coming to Kansas, to oppose Rsdicalism.
they had better 60 to the place where
thunder comes from, and attempt to
drown it ont by footing on an old tin
dinner horn. They could drive vastly
more profitable business by peddling
sboe-grease in lard oil factory. They
had better taken their leave when the
grssshoppers did. for tho signs of the
times look most peskily as if the negroes
we're going to be entitled to vote. sfter
next November. They are not very nu-
merous in Kansas, and there is no par
ticular object to be accomplished by en-
franchising them, except to offset the
votes of bnshwhackers and Democratic
editors from Missouri. leaving the white
Republican vote to be counted up as
clean majority. There is really no refuge
for those mortsls who are fleeing from
negro suffrage. except in the brush, with
the snakes, the lizards, and the ticks.
There the negroes would not be placed
on an equality with them-the negroes
would not submit to it. Why. the peo.
pie OF Kansas, at the same time they con.
fer the right Of suffrage upon negroes, are
going to disfrsnchise rebels. The latter
may technically be termed white men.
but they are only rebels. Kansas is q
rqually old place and the most friendly
advice we can give these knights of the
brush. who have flown over into Kansas
with the cottonwood blossoms, the mos
quitoes. AMI the ague malsria. is. "Git |"

Breaking out Again.

Matters criminal seem TO be breaking
out again among our neighbOrs in Mon
tana. A short time ago one of their To-
cal journals was bewailing the fact that
ruffianism was beginning To- make re-
newed headway up there, and on Satur-
day the kilograms told us that the Wig
ilantes, who it appears are not dead yet,
had just hung a man of the Road
Agent" persuasion, for threatening the
city of Virginia and the stage company
also, that 200 of the citizen soldiers had
helped themselves to government horses,
arms, and provisions, for prospecting
tour, to find gold either in gulches OF
the earth or in other peoples pockets.
Now this is not exactly as things
should be, and we had begun to hope
that our Montana friends, among whom
are a large number of excellent citize ms,
had about got through with the bulk, #
not all, of that sort of work, and had sat
down to regular legal ways of doing and
steady habits, but the Old Adam seems
TO be breaking out little again, and the
laws delay is not waited for, but short
shrift and piece of hemp are yet in or
der.
If the resort, among our northern
neighbors, to Vigilante arrangements
arises out of the fact that they have no
energetic judiciary up there, and they
will send word to that effect, we do not
know but that Utah could assist them
in the matter. AS we have no Vigi-
lantes and comparatively little crime in
this section, our judiciary have next to
nothing to do, they weary of enn1li, and
we have no doubt they would be de-
lighted to take trip north and straight
en- out those Road Agents and Vigi-
lantes and mutineers and any other
rascals who do not pay proper respect to
the legal way of doing things Say,
shall we send you judge or two2 No
harm would follow their departure hence
as our people are something on the sys-
tenn of self-government,an and really could
get along about as well without Judges
as with them. Just signify the word,
and all right.-SaIt Lake Telegraph.
Really, you are too kind You would
rob yourselves of what you most need if
you would spare a minister of Justice.
Hughes and some of his disciples will
probably pay you visit soon, when
those idle judges OF yours can make them
the scape-goats for all the crime that
has gone unpunished in Utah for a score
of years. The Vigilantes of Montana
cleaned out an evil nearly approxima-
ting to Mormonism, few years ago, and
if they cannot check the carnival of
crime hat is unfortunately ravaging our
Territory, it would be useless to expect
Utah Judge or two" to be of service.
1t is not that our judges are negligent,
but our lawyers are too smart, and the
criminals too light-footed.
