NUMBER 45.
Inauguration Ct War Of Races at the
South.
Gen Howard Responsible for the HAS
saere if it Takes Place.

Owing to the sensational habitudes OF
the New York Herald, the statements Of
its correspondent, few days since, con-
cerning the condition of affairs throughout
the South. has not commanded the degree
of attention the subject merits. From a
more reliable source we have the following
terrible confirmation
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WAsHINGTON, Nov. !, 1867.
There is little doubt now, that the war
of races at the South, the inevitable result
Of the Radical policy, will be inaugurated
at an early day. The whole negro race at
the South have been corrupted by the
agents of the Freedman's Bureau; aud
they are now ready to so any lengths in
gaining possession of the lands aEd pre-
perty Of their former masters. They are
convinced that the only way to getthe land is
to kill the white people and this they are
determined to do. There is a widespread
organization, all over the South with this
bloody purpose in view. All the negroes
are armed, and they are banded together
in secret organizations. At given signal,
and on a preconcerted day, the work Of
massacre will simultaneously begin, all
over the South. The white people are rn-
armed, and completely defenceess. 1t was
part of the policy of Sheridan and Pope
and SickIes, that all the white people
should give up their arms. The only way
by which a massacre of the white people
can be prevented, is by the total disarma-
ment of the black savages. II this is not
instantly done, We may look out for a repe-
lition Of the bloody scenes of St. Domingo,
in every one OF the ten Southern States.
To this complexion have VIC been
brought at last by the Radical party. By
taking he negro out of his proper and
subordinate sphere. We have taught him
to despise labor. No negro at the South
now, a general rule, will work. By
giving them the right TO vote, and by max
ing them the equal of the whits man, We
haze led them on, until at last they are ripe
for general massacre of the white popu-
laIion. Thus our boasted "war for the
Union" has resulted in the extinction of
civilization in ten States. and in giving
over those Stnes TO all the horrors ofsnegro
domination.
There is one man. aud only one. who
81 prevent this horrible massacre; and
that is General o. o. Howard, chief of the
Freedman's Bureau. His influence over
the negroes ia uubounded Let him for
bid this bloody act. and instruct his subor-
groes of the consequence of such proceed
ing, and the negroes will abandon their
bloody design. lie; him fail to do this,
and all the blood which will be shed, will
! rest uron his head. Let him be made to

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRT.--The following
beautiful allegory is translated from the
German:
"Sophronius. wise teacher, would not
suffer even his grown up sons and daugh-
ters to associate with those whose conduct
was not rure and upright.
Dear father" said the gentle Eulslia,
to him one day. when he forbade her COM
pampany with her brother to vieit the voIa-
tile Lucinda, "dear father, you must think
US very shildisb. ify you imagine we shovl4
be exposed to danger by it."
The father took in silence a dead coal
from the hearth, and reached II to his
daughter. 'It will not burn you my
child take it,"
Eulalia did so, and behold her delicate
white hand was soied and blackeBsd, and
so it CHANGED her white dress.
"We cannot be too carful in haudliuR
Goals, said Eulalia. in yexation.
Yes, truly, said her father, you see
my child, that Goals. even if they do not
born, blacken. So it is with the company

Before trust my heart TO thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before let thy future give

Before l peril all for thee, question thy sonl
tonight for me-
break ali slighter bonds, nor feel

Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet!
Or is thy faith as clear and free rs that which
can pledge to thee.
Docs there within thy dimmest dreams
A possible future shine
Wherein thy ie could henceforth breathe,
Untouched; unshared by mne!
II so, at any pain or cost, oh tell me before all
is lost.
Look deeper STILL if thou canst feel
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept portion back,
While have staked the whole;

LivCs there within thy nature hid
The demon spirit change,
Shedding passing glory still
On all things and strange
It may not be thy fault alone-but shield my
heart against thine own.
Could'st thou withdraw thy hand one day
And answer TO my claim,
That fate, and that days mistake,
Not thou had been to blame;
Some soothe their conscience thus. but thou, o
surely shou wilt warn me now
Nay, answer uOt-I dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet I would spare thee all remorsc,
So comfort thee my fate;
Whatever on my heart may fall, remember

The fact that Radical Congressman
went to the General in Chief to ask his
opinion of the President, is significant OF
the designs of the Radical party. They
have used every kind of hocus pocus pro-
cess to control the military power Of the
country in their revolutionary designs
Without it they know they must fail in
their atrocious policy. If General Grant
would declare his disaPprObation Of their
schemes in distinct and positive terms.
there would be no Radical party. We
know this is a humiIiating condition of
affairs. But so it is. It only imposes the
hig-er responsibility upon this one man.

The Cabinet Crisis.
After the excitement of yesterday upon Cabi-

are dull. Only few visitors are at the White
House, and among them none of distinction.
The Cabinet Troubles.
The National InteLi0encer to-day says: 1--WE
have high authority for saying that the loose
and sensational rumors which were circula lated
and which were reflected In some degree in the
papers of last evening, about troubles In the
Cabinet yesterday, are unfounded.
The fact of one mem her of the Nahinat ratfrin o
before the other, must naturally be OF frequent
occurrence That General Grant came out of
the White House some time before the other
gentlemen yesterday, was to be ascribed to his
business habits, rather than to any far-fetched
and imaginary cause, when the session was
protracted till towards the close Of the business
hours OF the day."

UNITED STATES TAXES ON PAsTEBoARD.-W0
have been favored by William b. Elliott. ESQ.,
Assessor of the Third District, Pennsylvania,
with the following decision OF the Internal
Revenue Department in reference to paste
board, or Card board"
The act OF June 80, 1884, posed on paper OF
all descriptions. including pasteboard, binders
board. and tarred paper for roofing and other
purposes, a tax OF three per cent.
The act of July 13, 1866, exempted tarred
paper for roofing purposes, and printing paper
of all descriptions. The same act imposed ON
paper not otherwise herein provided for q tax
of three per cent making no mention OF paate-
board, or binders board.
The act of March 2, 1867, extended the exemp-
tion and included binders board, but neither
exempts pasteboard or cardboard, nor specially
provides Tor taxing them.
Pasteboard, II not specially exempted, must
be taxable, and If not specially provided for It
must be taxed under the general provisions OF
the ninety fourth section. 1t Is, therefore, clear
that pasteboard, or cardboard, being neither
specially provided for nor exempt, Is liable,
under the general provision Of the ninety
fourth section, to tax of i've per centum.

keeping and disbursement of public moneys
The Court overruled the motion, and Hartwell
was arraigned, and pleaded not guilty. Chief
