more saeacity and certainty than the rat
It has a moderate share of reason, with
infallible instincts. 1t is now full out

beginning to be denounced by them quite
generally. Is there not strong indica-
ton in these circumstances that Grant

Atlanta to Savannah, Beverly Nash,
in South Carolina, who was previously
a slave, was liberated. He is man of
more than common intelligence for his
race, and says that while he is pleased
that the negro should vote. he thinks
that all white men should have the same
privilege, and that itwould attach the
white people to us, and cement the
friendship between us" He thinks Gov.
Orr might be elected if he came out, and
mentioned several districts in which he

all would rather have white people who
have lived among us, than strangers.

action. Their assertions, arguments ana
actions always depend upon and keep
pace with it. Now that they no longer
need the negroes about the towns as
voters, they refuse them rations, which
they had been giving for the sole purpose
of controlling them for party use. Many
of the negroes who voted here on the LIST,
avowed before coming they would not
vote in the country precincts, because
they "had been ordered to vote here,
and were going to do it. The Repubh-
can says:
As soon as the election was over in
Tennessee, the Bureau man there, who
had been managing things in the interest
of Brownlow, gave notice to the negroes
that he would issue no more ratlons Tor
their benefit, after the goth of August
The fact is, they had collected the vaga-
bond negroes in towns, and fed them at
the Governments expense, to get their
votes; but, having got their votes, they
had no further use for them, and so they
were notified to leave and shift for them
selves, as hest they may. Now observe;
Some white men cho had negroes
in their employ, incensed because they
had voted the Radical ticket, SUMMARY
dismissed them from service, and told
them, as the Bureau man did, to shit
for themselves hereafter. Thereupon
the Radicals raise terrible howl, and
call such conduct persecution. la them
it is viriuous, consistent and proper to
dismiss their deluded tools MS soon as
they have served their turn; but for 9th

us, they will not accept for themselves.
They have no notion of doing as they
would be done by, and yet look down on
US as barbarians with Pharasaical self
complacency, aud expect us to respect
their hypocritical piety, which, eight
years ago, Brownlow SO delighted in
showing up. If negro government is not
good, how can they justify its infection
on eleven States, which they pretend
they do not mean to assassinate, but to
mako coequal and sovereign with the
rest? If it is good, why do they not
embrace it for themselves? New York,

against it by 100000 majority. Last
year Connecticut voted it down by 60OO
