The Effect of Systematic Intimidation

From, what va bo,r ..l ,.,.rrr through
pa.i,us sources. we consider it safe esti-
mate to make, that no less than ten thousand
goters, white and black, were prevented by
trickery, intimidation and undue means
from voting the Republican ticket ut the
late election In other words, had it not
been for fragrant violations of the true in
tent and purposes Of the law, the Republi-
can majority would have been ten thousand
greater than it is. ir -.5..
In most of the Counties where but light
Republican vote has been polled, it will be
found on thorough inspection that while
colored men have been kept away from the
polls by threats of being deprived of food
and employment. that, many whites have
been literally frightened from voting against
the Conservatives on account of the often
repeated threats of social ostracism. &c. ..,.
O. From the hour the contest fairly opened,
Conservative speakers and canvassers under
took to produce sort of 'reign of terror
among white men as to the free exercise of
the right of opinion. Il All who would Ieadi-
ly shout for the Conservative cause, whether
native or foreign born. were considered in
good and regular standing and the epithets
"scalliwag" or 6 carpet bagger" never ap-
piled. Whenever cnlored man was known
to avow himself as q Conservative. he was
petted almost without limit. The moment.
however, that Southern white man avow-
ed his intention to support the Republican
party, then a yell of denunciation, in some
cases, would go up, fierce enough to dis
grace even pandemonium. All in all, just
such a contest has never been known in any
State of the Onion. and probably will never
occur again. sPrejudice and party rancor
fairly eliminated in all their diabolical ten
dencies For the sake of the State and the
people residing therein, we rejoice that a
party controlled by such passions and ha-
treds has met with deserved defeat and re-
buke.-Neaobern Republican. ogsa5 n ..
Our adopted fellow-citizens who were not
in the State in 1868 and 1864 when the Union
lists made such astruggle for Convention, in
order to take the State out of !" the Confed-
eracy,"', and carry it back to the Union, can
form from the late contest some idea of what
the Unionists of that day had to contend
with. Meeting and defying all the power
and vengeance of both governments, Con-
tederate and State,. they gave their candi,
date for Governor fifteen thousand votes,
and elccte, nearly majority of the Legis-
lature The Unionists of that day espe.
cially the fre.tried and ever faithful Heroes
of America-make up to considerable ex-
tent to day the nucleus around which the
great Republican party Of the State is rallied
and compacted. il 90 r-r.

.EV HuMoR-Humor H is the soul of comedy
but humor, however genuine in essence, Is in
its manifestation extremely dependent on
the day,-on its manners, mode and fashion.
Flow inany writers do We read with the con-
viction that the reputation which they had
in their time for humor was more than meri-
ted yet we are grave while we admire.
Wizards, such as Rabelais and Cervantes,
who once waved the rod of ridicule with
such potency as to set all Europe laughing,
Can hardly now create a smile; and yet we
split our sides at the bidding of men, who
arc, in comparison with these great masters,
but jugglers and buffoOns 1t is no matter
of severe difficulty to act on the sense OF the
ludicrous. through immediate associations,
and by means of proximate excitement. u
Drollery and fun are more effective as the
tAlc passes than wit and fancy are when
the time has passed; and yet such drollery
and fun may have in them neither wit nor
fancy. fs ~ az .,-
The animal spirits, which exhilerate the
blood, may produce mirth the present mo-
ment, when it may not he produced after
wards -by the most original imagery that
can be fashioned in the brain. The clown
of circus, the harlequin of puntomime,
the Jester in a farce, will set thousands in a
roar, where the spirit of Yorick, without his
gambols, would not provoke a smile. But
all snch humor expires in the moment ofits
existence; and even to mock its own
grinning," there remains no laugh moment
after Most humor is connected, not with
what is essential, natural and universal, but
with what is limited, exceptional and ex-
travagant The mass of hnmor in order to
be current, must be so connected: And so
from hour to hour it ripes and ripes. and
then from hour to hour it rots and rots."-

bound to evanescent circumstances, and,
dying when they die, the circumstances are
bound to immortal humor, and must live be-

They are wolves in sleeps clothing. Be-
ware of them. They are snakes in the

us last time. These very men who have
been calling us scallawags and scoundrels,
