Fraud.

The way political affairs are managed
now, it doesn't make any difference how
much fraud is committed, so it is on the
right side. A New Orleans dispatch of
the 7th instant says:
Two more Democratic members of the
House have been unSeated, and their OPP
ponents seated. The seats of these ousted
members were originally contested on the
ground of ineligibility, but that ground
being abandoned, fraud was substituted.
Among the published evidence in the
case are two aiidavits proving that the
Radical contestants committed more fraud
than was charged against the Democrats.
The Radicals were seated by AZ to %.

Alabama.

In the Alabama Legislature on the 7th
the House, by a vote of IL to lS, passed
the Senate bill removing disabilities from
persons not allowed to vote by the State
Constitution.
In the Senate bill was passed, by IA
to Is, which neutralizes this by taking
away from the people the right to vote for
Presidential electors, and giving it to the
Legislature. 1t was sent to the House i'm
meGiately, where it was made the special
order for the next day at ten o'clock.
On the next day the bill was passed,
the Speaker and prominent members pro-
testing against it as anti-republican in
spirit annd effect. This will secure the
vote of the State for Grant, of course.
What a glorious land of liberty this is
to be sure, where "a dozen or two niggers
and scallawags can do as they please with
the rights of the people of whole State
viii it be so after the November cleo
tons We cannot believe it.

Bishop WightTnan.

The Cokesbury District Meeting, on.
E. South recently closed its session at
Edgefeld Court House, South Carolina.
The following, from the Advertiser, will
be read with interest by Bishop Wight
mans many friends in this section. The
closing tribute to his piety, learning and
eloquence is very pretty and most richly
merited:
On Friday, Bishop Wightman arrived
in our midst from Charleston. Bishop
Wightman is a son of South Carolina; one,
of whom she is, and has long been, duly
proud. lie had not visited Edgefeld for
more than thirty years; and, though he
has been fighting the good fight for so
many long summers and winters, still he
looks as if he had scarcely passed the mid
summer of life. During his stay, which
lasted until Monday morning, he preached
on two occasions in the Methodist Church
on Friday night, and in the Baptist Church
on Sunday morning. At the conclusion
of his discourse on Sunday moning, Bishop
Wightman, assisted by the Presiding
Elder and two or three Clcrgymen, or
dained, as Elder in the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, our esteemed citizen,
Rev. j. Wesley Barr; a solemn rite,
which was performed, we know, amid the
heartfelt prayers and hopes of our whole
community for him upon whom authority
was being conferred. On both occasions
such crowds were in attendance as failed
to be seated in either Church. Nor were
these crowds of earnest and eager listeners
disappointed. Bishop Wightman, with his
learning, his picty, his earnestness, his
force, his full and finely modulated voice
and brilliant as we'll as solid evolutionary
powers, is in his zenith. Who goes to hear
him, will come away delighted, edited
awakened. To hear him is one of those
things of beauty which shall be JOY
forever.

Dcmosthencs Grant.

The star orator of the Radical party
and General of the army made speech in
st. Louis on the night of the 9th instant,
in response to a serehadc. 1t was longer
than his efforts in that line usually are,
but fully sustained his hitherto great re-
putation. We do not believe, however,
that there will be- any objection on the
part of the American people to his full
filling his promise of making st. Louis
his home at any time he may feel disposed
Here is the speech, reported in full:
"Gentlcmen and fellow-citizens, | can
scarcely find words enough to thank you
for this very hearty and warm reception.
1t is especially gratifying to me to meet
so many friends i'll St. Louisa place
which has arisen since | have been man
grown, and where | intend to become a
resident at some future day. Thanking
You again, | will bid you good night"
One report says that this eloquent ad-
dress was followed by hearty cheers for
Seymour and Blair, during which the
hero beat hasty retreat.

No Hope at Present.

Those who have been INDUCING in any
hope that the Legislature, during its pre-
sent session, would restore to the people
of Tennessee the right of suffrage, will be
sadly disappointed. The debate on the
Governors supplementary message, re-
commencing the memorial of Hon. John
NJ. Lea to the respectful consideration of
the Legislature, was very bitter and re-
suited in the adoption of the following re-
solution, by a vote of "a to IA;
Resolved by the General Assembly of
the State Of Tennessee, That we don't
think this the proper time to take into
consideration the question of the elective
franchise.
The proper time will never arrive I'M
til they find that popular sentiment is too
strong to be resisted That day is not
far distant until then let us be patient
and prudent.

Almost Il Panic.

A general distrust and alarm is being
occasioned by the revolutionary and fa-
natical movements of the Radicals. Es-
pecially is this the case in the North. The
New York correspondent of the Phila-
adelphia Ledger says that the infamma-
tory tone of the speeches in Congress with
reference to the Southern government and
the Southern electoral vote is causing a
very uncomfortable feeling in business cir
cles, increasing as it does the prevailing
distrust of the future. Great regret is
also expressed that Congress, instead of
taking recess merely, did not adjourn,
as usual, till December. To reasonable
right on the eve of an exciting Presiden-
tial election, Republicans, as well as Dem
ocrats, apprehend will be but to foment
past agitations.
In the same connection, the Boston
Post, of late date, says that the feeling
of apprehension there is rapidly becoming
intensified, and the popular impression is
that the country is approaching more
serious crisis than even the war of the re-
bellion. The Oldest and bravest men
speak out their fears. One of the most
distinguished Generals of the Federal
army, who is not now in political life, al
though lately sympathizing with tie Re-
publican party, is satisfied of the fixed de-
termination of his late political associates
to overthrow the Government and seize
the Executive power.
On the day that Brownlow's message
was delivered to the Legislature, Tennes'
see bonds sold in New York at 6S for the
old and G65 for the new. So soon as the
import of the message was known, oul
bonds fell as low as 60I, which is equal to
sly if the July interest were paid. There
is no confidence felt in business circles
anywhere, and will not be, until in No
yember the party which has ruled and
nearly ruined our country shall be put
out of power forever.

From the La Crosse Democrat.l
Democratic NewSpuDcrs.


1t is the duty of Democrats in the coun-
try to support their county Democratic
papers. We ask them to do this first; to
stand by, to uphold, sustain and encourage
their local Democratic organs, rather than
to support us. If able to take bIt one
Democratic paper, let that be the best one
published in your county. liable to take
other papers, give preference to those most
earnest in defence of Dcmocracy-most
earnest to attack OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES de-
termined in behalf of the People, and for
the protection of their earnings.
1t is the duty of Democrats to support
Democratic papers--those papers that
speak out openly, boldly, persistently, at
all times, for the right. And it is not the
duty of Democrats to pay their money to
support those wishy-washy, skim-milk,
timid, half-and-half, no.account papers,
that are afraid to condemn Republicanism,
or defend the most earnest supporters Of
Democracy. Such papers are Of no bene.
fit to the party, but rather curse. If
they were starved out, and the support
their editors neg or sponge given 10 polu,
true, fearless, determined men, the leaven
of pluck would leaven the entire loaf; each
locality would strive to excel in earnest
ness, the rotted, cowardly, drawbacks
would be wiped out none but men of
yigor would be allowed to speak authorita-
lively, and all over the land there would
be frmer adherence to Democratic prin-
ciplcs and the party would be irresistible.
Support your local papers if they are bold,
vigorous, and decided. Follow not the
bugle that gives uncertain sounds. If
your local editor will not make his paper
what it should be, earnestly Democratic,
refuse to take that paper. for it will do
you more harm than good. If he pretends
to be a Democrat, and is not, starve him
out, support a better and Drawer man, and
let him seek other employment more i'll
consonance with his feelings and capacity.
