"MEN AND BRorHERs."-What is the
matter with our morning contemporary.
Last evening when three "mcn and broth
ers" were marched to Jail on suspicion OF
being the burglars who robbed Mr.. ellis
Of his silyerware, there was no attempt TO
rescue the sooty rascals through means of
the Freedmen's Bureau, and this morning
our neighbor had not a word to say In their
defense. How ungrateful, when the col
ored troops fought so nobly' to save the
country. To the rescue, %neighbor, take the
men aud brothers by the hand, lead them
to your home-save them from the horrid
clutches of the law-feed, clothe, and warm
them into more perfect life, and when the
day of election shall have come, arm and
arm go with them to the polls and demand
Of the judges that these freedmen shall be
allowed to exercise the glorious privilege
of depositing their ballots for the caudi-
dates for city offices on the God and hui
manity-"praise- God-bare-bones' ticket.
BY all means take 'em up to vote.
tB~ Capt. Turner, Mayor Turner, Justice
Turner, Marshal Turner, James Turner, has
turned up as the negro suffrage candidate
for Council in the Fifth Ward. After But
ting and recruiting to secure a candidate
for Council from that intensely "loyal'
Ward, the Abs have turned up Turner and
want to turn him into the Council to aid
them in turning that body into a "praise-
od-bare-bones," mutual admiration and
benevolent Abolition debating club, where
a Democrats would stand about as much of
a chance rs a hen on hot griddlc, or a sill
yer spoon in the hands of Ben. Butler.
CITY TICKEr.-The JournGl puts up a most
piteous moan for les candidates on the city
ticket, this morning, and urges the faithful
to renewed energy and unceasing labor,
for fear the 'copperheads' of the Vallandig-
ham stripe, will defeat their cherished
schemes. Well, we admit hat he has cause
for fear and trembling, and whether he has
the ''snakes in his boots or in his hat, il
matters little, as the white men of thi.
country are fast coming to the conclusion
that a chite mans government is the most
preferable for the peace, comfort and hap
pincss of themselves and their families.
B"The journal is wonderfully exercised
for the fate of its candidates in the several
Wards, and well it may be the people are
getting their eyes open to the Negro-suf-
frage party, Laboring men aud mechanics
have no desire to be brought down to a
level with the niger. They prefer to be
white men, and have white men us their
associates, rather than be made the tools
of B~ond-holding aristocrats.
