DIDN'T PAY.-A Radical Association in
Muscatine, Iowa, in order to swell the exche-
quer, got up lecture programme, and invited
as lecturers Wendell Phillips, Theo. Triton,
Snowman Barnum, Clara Barton, J. S. c. Alb
bott, and John B. Gough-all Radicals. Cough
charged them 5000; Phillips, $l1O; Barnum,
800; Tlton, SIS; Abbott, $75, and Clara
Barton, $50. After paying all these philan-
thropists and negro-loving lecturers, the Asso-
citation found the total receipts just 1897 25
short of the expense list. They don't propose
to "inVite" any more Radical lecturers-they
can't afford the luxury.

The letters, and the remarks of the shameless

shamelessness and the absurdity of the pitifuJ

TINES IN GEORGIA.-From a Georgia let
ter in the st. Louis Republican of Aug. 10TH
we clip the following:
There never was people on the globe that
has lived harder for the last ten months than
we of the South. You know my antecedents
You know how have lived in days "lang syne.'
Every luxury that taste could suggest or
wealth obtain was mine Will you believe me
when I assure you that for months have not
had pound of meat or dust of flour Well,
it was even so.
The wheat crop was an average one, and
had it not been that the bulk of the crop was
mortgaged to obtain necessary food. and prov
ender for man and beast to make the present
crop, our people would now have had plenty.
As it is, they will be compelled to exc out a
miserable living until corn and cotton can be
gathered
The prospect for corn is good; that of cot
ton poor incessant rains and bad tillage, Incl
dent to freed labor, the cause. assure you
that freed labor in the South has played out
The negro is now vested with the right of citi-
zenship; and with that his disposition to labor
is gone. Dress God, I'm free p is the ruling
sentiment now among them. You cannot make
them believe but that coniscation will furnish
them with homes, and they are looking forward
to that happy day when they can rest securely
from their labOrs; and enjoy the blissful fruits
OF freedom Our people are getting more and
more respondent Many of our best citizens
are emigrating to Brazil and Honduras to es-
cape the terrors which await this doomed land.
Registration is about through here The negro
vote, in Georgia, will be the controlling one. In
this section the whites predominate. We are
daily expecting a war of races, and the re-
enaction of the scenes of Jamaica and St. Do
mingo. Should it come, God pity the South
would that I was away from here. If I
could get good school anywhere, or loca-
ton where l could make living by my pro-
fession, | would go. Do you not know where
myself and wife could get good female school?
She is graduate of Wesleyan Female College,
Macon, Geo., and am graduate of Prince

the California election-at least nothing more
defuite than published in our last. The Sac

the Democrats a majority in the Legislature.
Axtell and johnson, Democrats, are elected to
