The LeglsIature.

We call upon our Republican friends to
stand by their candidates for the Legisla-
ture especially, and see that no rebels slip in
by any mistake or negligence on their part
1t is apparent that the rebels despair of
electing their State ticket, but have turned
their energies towards the Legislature,
hoping to elect a sufficient number of cop
perheads to embarrass the loyal administra-
tration and cripple its efforts. .sa., ,a..H
Now they have nominated disfranchised
rebels for various Offices. When such per-
sons consent to run, they do so with the
knowledge that the removal of their disa-
bilites is an impossibility, and that if any
persons vote for them, such votes are cast
away. We warn the people that they are
asked to fling their ballots away. Will they
do it? We believe not -'''
When Republican is elected, if he is la
boring under disabilities, the Congress will
relieve him, but no traitor will be relieved.
1t is safe and fair to vote for the one, but it
is foolish and unsafe to vote for the other
A moments reflection will make this plain
to all. .,4-..f s s...-r.,I. -a3rpsaEfy ~
Let the Republicans look we'll to their
Legislative candidates and see that every
vote is polled for them. We can carry this
branch of the. government byan overwhelm-
ing majority and we must doit. 1t becomes
US to purify every Departmental secure as
tendency for loyal men in every section of
the State-to frame a new code of liberal
laws-to raise revenue for educational, char
liable and State purposes--to elect loyal
Senator's ,--and in order to do this, we must
carry the Legislature and We can do it by a
two-thirds majority. a IA 5U

Vance's Crimes.

committed within eight or ten miles of us,
under Gov. Vance's administration. sAn old

good many imprisoned near Center. These

That there Is no truth IN the statement that,
under the new Constitution, white children
will be compelled to go TO school with col
ored children. There will be separate
schools. The schools will be as nearly alike
as possible There swilq be white teachers
for white children, and colored teachers for,
colored children When a dollar is paid
out for the white child dollar win be paid
out for the colored child, but the children
of the two races will not be required togo

as much opposed to having the school to-

The same is true as to the militia. The
white and colored males will be enrolled
together as they vote together, but they will
be divided into separate Companies and

white officers from corporal to Colonel, and
the colored regiments will have colored;
Officers from corporal to Collopnel. Both
races prefer that thisshould beso. But they
