Suppose the country take the Radi-
Gals at their word-suppose that they
are taken as a truth-telling party, and
that they mean what they say-sup-
pose, in short, that when they charter
fze us as a distoyal party, as the rebel
Democracy, as the party Ia SgmpdthY
with rebels and traitors, they speak
their deliberate convictions, and desire
to be so understood by the American
people, what an all-powerful and in
vincible army of rebels and traitors we
would havein our midst
If Radical editors know the plain
meaning of plain words, they are eth
er a pack of graceless liars, or else they
Judge their readers to be fools.
The recent Presidential election
shows that nearly five millions of votes
ryoro actually polled. Ofthese the De-
mocracy cast two and a quarter mil
lions. But in Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas elections were not held. Had
the people of these three States been
permitted to vote, they would have
given a majority of at least 10000.
Then take the number disfranchised in
the States of Missouri, Tennessee, West
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Alabama, Arkansas and Florida, ag-
gregating at least $4,000, and we find
that if Radicat editors teH the truth, the
rebel army will outnumber that of the
loyal army by at least a quarter of a
million.

YoU ARE TO PAY rmE PRICES.

4 New York Mongrel organ, an or
gan that leads the conservative" wing
of the poverty-creating party, says, in
a late editorial, that ''the sum of S25,-
600 per year is too small to support the
President in proper style 1t should be
at least S1G0,00 to meet the necessary
expenditures as Chief Executive of the
nation. President Grant should not
be compelled to live in the cheap
boarding house style. How do you
like this talk, taxpayer? This is the
IDEA of the New York Times. This
is a specimen Of "Republieanism," F" the
plain, unpretending simplicity which,
we have all been told, was the strength
Of all good governments, and which
the leaders of the great reform party
pretended that they desired to restore.
The sum Of $25, ,000 per year is only
sufficient to enable the newly elected
to live in cheap boarding house style.
In other words, the style in which Mr..
johnson now lives, the style which
the late lamented" enjoyed, is not
good enough for General Grant, and
the now groaning taxpayers must
prepare to sweat out bigger drops Of
blood, that the new idol shall roll in
the luxury of a panpered monarchist.
Go ahead with your reforms gentle
men not only give YOUR new idol the
100000 per year, but move to give it
to him for life, and move also to keep
him in office during that life. DO not
bother your white slaves, who are to
pay the price Of all this in bigger taxa
ti0n, with any more election farces.
Set up at once Il permanent despotism,
increase your army, and then apply
the screws to the thirty millions of
white population, and see how much
they will stand, ,-D0y-BO0

THE Radicals of Georgia have held a
meeting, at which it was resolved to
exclude, if possible, the participation
of negroes in politics, they having be-
come fully satisfied from the results of
the late election that negro suffrage
will not work. Had these scalawags
arrived at this conclusion twelve
months ago, much of the trouble that
now prevails in the South would have
been obviated, and that disturbed sec
tion would have been in the enjoyment
of comparative peace. We have, in
this action of the Georgia Radicals, a
striking contrast with the proposed
action of the Northern Radicals
Having had fair opportunity of Prac-
tically testing impartial suffrage in the
South, the "carpet-baggers" are going
dead up against it, while in the North
the leaders of the party are making it
apet measure.

HOLDING THEM TO THEIR PROMISE.

A convention of Negroes was held at
Harrisburg, the other day, which adop-
ted a series of resolutions demanding
the right of suffrage and perfect equal
ity, in civil condition, with the white
man. These resolutions were evident
Iy written by some ofthe white negroes
in the Radical party, and the cOnven-
ton was, doubtless, gotten up BY the
ultra Radical politicians, for the pur-
pose of forcing Negro Suffrage on their
party, and through it, upon the coun-
try. We are assured in the preamble
to the resolutions adopted by this con-
vention, that "the Republican party
s'have given us additional assurances
''from time to time of their determina
''tion, when once they had the power,
''to carry out every line of the Declar-
"ation of Independence, and make good
"every promise made by the party in
"the complete elevation and enfran-
"chisement of colored men wherever
''they may reside within the national
domain"
In view of these assurances the
resolutions demand that the Radical
party shall now confer the right of suf-
frage upon the blacks in all the States.
The ''colored brethren have deter
mined to hold the white Radicals to
their promises. We think that, fer
once in their history, the latter viii be
true to their pledges. They want the
negro as a tool, and viii, therefore, try
to enfranchise him.

WEST VIRGINIA DEsPOrEsA
From the Greenbrier Independent


We have been surprised more than
once at the want tofinfornation abroad,
even N the adjoining States, concern
ing West Virginia despoIsm.
1t is q fact of easy demonstration,
that even the Southern States, ruled as
they are by the sword, are more free
to-day than the always loyal State of
West Virginia.
In this StaJe there are not less than
twenty five thousand DISTINGUISHED
citizens. No, not "citizens!" for the
amended constitution Of the State de-
clares that they can never become citi-
Zens although they were born on her
soil, have lived here ali their lives, and
are heavily taxed to support the muni-
cipal, Stale, and national govern
ments. They are aliens on sheir ma
tive soil, as far aS the State constitu-
ton can make them aliens.
In this county alone there are 400
disfranchised men, comprising the
wealth, intelligence, public spirit, and
moral worth OF Greenbrier.
In this town. with a population of
1900 there are only eight voters and
yet in this county there is not one dis
loyal man, excepting the Radicals, who
cllS tll diStONctis ii w CSt v ii ll1id
there are not less than 200 men who
cannot hold any Office, sit on jury, or
teach public school.
Ill West Virginia there are not less
than $4,000 men who cannot obtain
judgment on old debts due them, or
enforce contracts.
In West Virginia the taxes for cOun-
ty and township purposes are eight
times heavier than boforo tho
In West Virginia we have five paid
officers now for one before the war.
In West Virginia the salaries OF
/ county officers are double, and me OF
them treble, of what they were before
/ the war.
In west Virginia, especially in the
/ border counties, the offices are, with
| few exceptions, filed by the most ig-
| nOrant and vicious of the population.
! In West Virginia three men in each
/ county, known as the County Board
/ Of Registration, are actually licensed
/ by an act of the Legislature, to enter
/ on record that their feilOW-Citizens are
! perjurers
In West Virginia, the County Boards
/ Of Registration have entire control OF
/ every office in the State. The Board
I
/ unseat Governor BOreman by merely
scratching his name from the list of
registered voters. The Board of Reg
istration of Monroe County can unseat
! Judge Nat. Harrison in the same
/ way. No man can hold Office unless
| he is voter. No man can be a voter
/ unless he is registered No man can
register, or remain registered, without
the consent of the county boards of
| registration. Scratch BOreman's name
or Harrison's name from the registry,
and the sceptre of power drops from
! their nerveless grasp.
Did such state of things ever before
exist in any civilized community
/ Has as mean, contemplate, sneaking,
coWardly, brutal a despotism as that
/ of West Virginia ever before rejoiced
4 the hearts of devils, or called for the
/ avengiug bolts of heaven?
"MOuntaineer5 always free ~ Oh,
| what a mockery of noble sentiment !
! What braZen-faced lie! There is no
! freedom in these mountains, except
the freedom Of ignorance and viIlany
to lord it over intelligence and honesty.

THE Lancaster iHteitigepcer contains
some very judicious observations in re-
gard to the National Democratic Com
mittee, and suggests that the chair of
the committee be filled by a more eff
cient incumbent than the present one
Democrats generally will agree with
the MteHigencer. Mr.. Aug. Belmont,
doubtless, is a very shrewd financial
operator in Wall street, and is a faith
full agent of the Rothschilds and other
foreign banker, but he is totally out
of place as chairman of the Democratic
Committee. He is more concerned
about his per cents, than about the in
terests of the Democratic party, or of
the country at large. 4 successful
coup among the bulls and the bears of
Wall street, is of more consequence to
him than q Democratic triumph
While he is attending to the sales of
his stocks and bonds, he has very lit
tie Of his valuable time to devote TO
the cause to which he processes allie
glance. He has held the pos; ION far
too long already. He does not pos
sess the confidence of any considerable
portion of the Democratic party. At
the same time his personal excellence
and amiAbility are freely owned, as
well as his orthodoxy.
