HONOR TO WHOM HONOR.

The millions of freedmen in this
country owe their liberty to the stroke
# the pen of a large hearted individual
now no more. The name of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN will go down to posterity, as
the one which gave legality to enamel
patton. AS President of the United
States it was his province to sign the
necessary documents which melted the
shackles from the limbs of every slave
in the land. We would not pluck a
star from his crown, nor transfer sin
gle diamond from his diadem to that of
any other man living or dead. But
there are two other men yet living to
whom the American people mainly owe
the noblest act of Mr.. Lincoln's life,
above alluded to, and the execution of
the same, without retraction or morti-
fication. We allude to Rev GEORGE B.
CHEEvER, ID. D., of New York, and the
then Secretary of the Treasury, SALMON
P. CHASE.
The Proclamation of January /, 1868,
which resulted in the adjustment of
American slavery, was signed the night
previous by Mr.. Lincoln after terrible
struggle DIR. Cheever with other
members Of committee sent from New
York. was with him that memorable
night, to encourage his heart, and
strengthen his feeble and quivering
knees. 1t will be recollected that Mr..
Lincoln's proclamation on the previous
September, was a notice to the Rebel
shareholders, that if they would cease
their rebellion, they might continue to
hold their slave property, under the
national guarantee. This was looked
upon by abolitionists as a deliberate
bride, by which the liberties of four
millions of human beings were to be
bartered away for the loyalty of two or
three hundred thousand rebel slave
holders in arms against the government
of the United States.
To persuade the President to shut
down the gate on the proposition in
the September proclamation, and take
higher ground in the one then under
consideration, was the object of DR..
Cheever and his associates. With the
correctness of Paul and the eloquence
of Demosthenes, he plead with him
to make clean sweep of slavery, call
the loyal negroes into the army and
crush out the rebellion. At first all
these appeals were met by Mr.. lincoln
by saying 1T would be like the Popes
bull against the comet" but during the
night the better counsels prevailed,
and with some notifications the IA
nous Proclamation of Emancipation
was signed by the President, and the

. Before, however, the ink OF the sig
nature was hardly dry, Mr.. Chase dis
covered unmistakable signs that the
said proclamation was iii danger of
sharing the same fate of General John
G. Fremont's previous proclamation OF
emancipation in the Missouri district
as war measure, and which was speed
lily annulled by the President. So far
as Mr.. Chase's crushing duties as Sec
rotary of the Treasury would permit,
he now addressed himself to keeping
the wavering President on the enamel
patton track, and carry out the procla-
nation in good faith. Had it not been
for his fidelity to freedom and persever-
ance in that direction, for months after
the proclamation was issued, it would
have been rendered nullity, by rebel
pro-slavery generals in our army, whose
duty it was to enforce it--a kissing and

WASHINGTON, October 10.

AN OFFICE SEEKER COMES TO GRIEF.
George H. Moore, of Wilmington,
North Carolina, who has been here
for some time past, pressing his
claims for Supervisor of Internal
Revenue, was arrested here to day,
charged with appropriating 81, 900 Of
government funds, which came into
his possession while acting as Deputy
Collector in North Carolina. His
principal hackers for the position
sought were Montgomery Blair, Gen.
Rosseau and Governor English, of
Connecticut. He had strong letter
from q Southern lady, written to
General Rosseau, of course, saying
that all carpet baggers about Will
mington were opposed to this Moore
because he did his duty like con-
servative gentleman. and this letter
Rosseau forwarded, with cordial in
dorsement. Moore has also figured
largely in the Binkley ring, and has
pretended to have check for large
amount compromising Rollins. He
is in custody tonight, making the
fourth of the Binkley party either in
Jail or indicted for perjury. In fact,
Binkley and the President are the
only ones now out of the hands of
the law.

REPUBLICAN, VICTORY.
PEACE SECURED.

As we go to press, the returns OF
the October Elections show another
victory won, and that the other
States are wheeling into line with
Vermont and Maine.
Let all rejoice. The election OF
Grant is secured, and rebel Democ-
racy once more defeated by the
Unien loving people efour country.
The people have worked hard, and
have done a noble work Old Gal
liza has done nobly, beating the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congressman
in his own home, by 600 majority-
and the tide runs the same through
the whole State.
We refer our readers to the re-
turns printed elsewhere to ascertain
the results of the election, as far as
known at this writing.
One more united and strong effort
in November, and Grant will be car
ried into the Presidential chair by an
overwhelming popular vote. When
the country is in peril, the people al
ways rouse equal to the occasion,
and declare in voice of thunder that
this government shall stand, and
true peace prevail.

cerely hope that the other Northern
States will follow in the wake of
Maine. Believe me, my dear sir,
that am more convinced each day
of the imperative necessity of elect
ing Grant, provided we wish tran
quility and peace to our now dis
tracted country. can now see a
manifest change in the great mass of
our people since the Maine election.
You cannot well imagine the radical
change both in their speech and acts.
/ verify believe the greater portion
of the Democracy feel relieved since
it is almost certain that Grant will be
elected, and i make this prediction,
which l am satisfied will be verified:
that we, OF the South, will be the
most quiet and law abiding people
in the land provided Grant is elect
ed, that these old fossil politicians,
who have SO unwisely used their in.
fuence against reconstruction, will
be shelved, and men who realize the
mighty changes which few years
have wrought, will take control of af-
fairs, and our State and people start
with renewed vigor upon the high
road to prosperity.
"Then will be obliterated the i'm.
aginary lines which divide the peo-
pie of the country, and then too, will
the man of Maine feel as much at
home in Mississippi as he now feels
in his own State. God grant that
the time may speedily come when
sectional hate and prejudices may
be rem embered only with the things
of the past
s'As certain as snch will be the re-
snlt in the event of Grants election;
on the other hand, it will be equally
certain that the opposite state of af-
fairs will exist with US, in case Sey-
mour and Blair are elected.

to Democratic gathering in New

army officer in active discharge of his
duties. He counseled his friends to
avoid riots, and said: 81 hope you
will allow no bad men to precipitate
you into collision with your opponents,
and that you will hold him of either
side who provokes it your worst enemy.
The man, white or black, who induces

Mr.. NAsH:-There has been a story
put in circulation by some unprincipled
scoundrel, that | am going to vote this
fall the modern self styled democratic
ticket, and | wish through the columns
of your paper, to let the public know
that | was better raised than to turn a
traitor to my country in my old days
to cast disgrace on myself, my par
ents, and my children. l will have
these lieing scoundrels know that re-
ceived my training from good loyal
Wing parents, and l hope my right
hand may disown my left if lever de-
part from their teachings, or do any
thing to disgrace my parents that are
no more. l have secluded myself from
society in a great measure for some
time, because my troubles have been
such for the few past months that I did
not enjoy myself in company. And
for this reason I suppose, they think,
because didn't attend loyal meetings,
| must be copperheaded rebel. 1
have not been to but one political meet
ing this season, for l thought it become
me much more to stay at home with
my children, although my heart was
with my country's future good, as it
will always be while live. But God
bless them, l will have them know l
don't belong to their comprehend,
whisky ring yet, and when fail to
sustain my friends, | shan't uphold my
foes. For l will stay from the polls al
together first. / have head of my
own, and / thank my God that it is not
atraitor's head And / would thank
all such unprincipled scoundrels, if
they will lie, to pick some other objectto
heap their lies upon besides me, for /
am not meddling with them in politics
or any thing else. If they want to try
to lie themselves into power, the curse be
on their own rebel heads, not mine
But Isexpect, if God permits me to live
and gives me health and strength
enough, to go to the polls on election
day to eastmy vote for GRANT, CoLFAx,
WILSON, and the balance of that loyal
ticket, in spite of all that pack of de- 1
signing rebels may say or do. For
my wish is to support the honest, the
noble, the brave, and the true. =

H No one, that heard the shouts
on our streets last Thursday, could
mistake the character of the crowd
that was here, or in what direction
its political predictions lay. "Hur-
rah for JEFF. Davis" was almost as
common as ''hurrahs for Seymour"
And this is no idle tale. We heard
them ourself-not once, or twice
simply, but very often-not simply
from the ignorant dupes of the party,
but in one or two instances from ac-
knowledged, prominent leaders of the
party. We speak what we know,
and what can be proven by others
besides ourseIf. Soldier-Union
man-will you vote for a party that
makes jeff. Davis its idolP Where
would they lead you to, but into

ment which your blood and treasure
saved. Stop and think. se

~Intbe democratic procession,

R In the democratic processlon'
last Thursday, they had a represen-
tation of that "bloated" democratic
"bondholder," August Belmont, the
head and business manager Of that
marty in the United States, and the
agent in this country of the aristec-
racy of Europe. 1t was right that
he should be thus represented, as he
controls larger amount of the bonds
of the United States than any other
man, and it was right that he should
be represented in another sense-he
is Chairman of the National Demo
cratic committee. Some silly, ignor-
ant democrats supposed that the
veritable August Belmont himself
was present, and would make 8
speech; but that was mistake. He
was simply represented by some OF
our young bloods, who got up the
representation that thereby they
might ride in better style than the
balance of the crowd.
