How Far They Go.

In a recent discussion at Raleigh
Court House, Rev. Sam. Young, Rad
ical candidate for the State Senate, not
only avowed himself in favor of negro
suffrage, but of negro cOmdn suffrage.
Young wants negro uomen to vote.
But a carpet.bagger from Monroe
county, named Monroe, went even fur.
ther than this. He vas willing that
mules should vote, if they would vote
the Radical ticket. Well, as asses are
allowed to vote, there can be no strong
objection to mule suffrage, for the mule
is the result OF Monroe's miscegenation
doctrine, and is of q higher grade of an
imals than the ass.
Scalawags, like Young, and carpet
baggers, like Monroe, are ready for any
extreme that may benefit their party
and enable them to occupy positions OF
trust and profit.
1t is enough to make any decent man
sick at the stomach to look over the list
of Radical office holders and Radical
Office seekers in this portion Of the
State. Ignorant aud depraved scala.
wags, and equally ignorant, depraved
and rowing carpet baggers, who, unable
to make a living on the soil csrsed by
their birth, have come among us to take
advantage of our misfortune, make ur
the array of vultures that are gorging
their rapacious stonachs with any offal
no matter how putrid or disgusting
that may come in their way.

is not far distant when these jackals

IT was on the 9th of April, 1866, that
General Lee accepted the terms of sur
render proposed by General Grant.
Over three years have elapsed since the
Army of Northern Virginia laid down
their arms; yet the expenses of the
United States Government in that time
have averaged over $500, ,O0O,O 600 per an
mum. In that time SIXTEEN HUNDRED
MILLIONS have been wrung from the in
dustry of the people to meet not only
the necessities of the war and the inter
est on the public debt, but the extrava-
CANT expenditures of men who have
squaudered the peoples money in mad
schemes Reconstruction, the mainten'
ance of idle hordes of negroes and of
supernumerary army officers, a countless
crowd of useless officials, and on theiI
own wanton self-indulgence. Never in
an era of peace was so much money raised
by taxation amongst free people, to bt
so wasted and misapplied.

Vermont Gems.

As our Quincy street neighbor has be
come so disgusted with his untimely
shouts for Vermont, We present hin
with few jewels, which he and hi'
party should keep as heir looms of thai
green mountain land:
Alexander Hamilton favored a cen
tralized despotic government. Vermoa
| rOted to sustain him.
The elder Adams had the "alien and
sedition laws passed, by which citizen
could be banished or imprisoned fol
speaking disrespeetful of the President
Termom rOted to sustain the tyrannica
lar.
The "Blue Light" Federalists hung
out lights to assist the British to conquer
America. Tem0nt sustained them.
The Radicals have perpetrated un.
numbered outrages upon the liberties OF
the people. VermoRt rotes for and en-
d0rses these acts.
The Radical party stands pledged to
wiring a tribute of gold from the people
to pay the bondocracy, while the people
themselves are forced to take paper
Vermont says amen.
We hope our neighbor will accept
these priceless gems, together with the
high regards of the donor, as tokens OF
coincidence for his misfortune.

Harrison County.

We learn that the private and busi-
ness engagements of CALEB BoGGEss'
Esq, are such as to compel his declina-
tien of the Democratic nomination for
the House of Delegates, in Harrison
county. This is to be regretted by
these who have tie interests of the
State at heart. Mr.. BOGGEss would
have made a most clear-headed, judi
cious and valuable member of the Leg
islature.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of that county have unanimously
requested Col. BENZ. WILSON to accept
the place on the ticket made vacant
by Mr. BIS declination; and, yielding
to this request and to the earnest soiic-
itation of other warm personal and po-
litical friends, he has consented to do
so. 1t is supertluous to give our word
of commendation to this selection. Col.
WIS name is creditably familiar in al
most all parts Of this State. In his re-
cent canvass in the eastern counties and
in some of the interior and some of the
river counties, he won golden opinions
from all sorts of people. He possesses
the zeal, energy and ability necessary
for u brilliant and successful canvass,
and all the qualifications that 60 to
make good Legislator.
JOHN J. DAVIS and BENZ. WILSON are a
strong team-a team that the people of
Harrison county may justly feel proud
of. They will be elected; and the good
of the State demands that they should.

THE August increase of the public
debt is being accounted for on the part
Of the Radicals by the large army ex-
penses, which are nearly as much as
those of all the other departments of the
government together, and the decided
falling offin internal revenue collections
Why should the expenses of the army
be so large in time of peace? Because
the Radical party is using it to force
negro equality upon white men. AT
the same time they have almost destroy
ed the business Of the country; and, of
course, internal revenue collections fall
off, and the debt increases. "Let us
have peace"

THE Radicals declare the action of the
Georgia Legislature, in excluding ne
grees from that body, in conflict with
the fourteenth constitutional amend
ment, which provides that "no State
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States"
Ii this he the true position, then all
State restrictions on the colored vote
must in like manner be adjudged in
conflict with the Constitution and null
and void, and Congress can inaugurate
negro suffrage in this State tomorrow,
Notwithstanding the word "white" il

towards which Radicalism is travelling.

How has the unparalleled debt of this

How has the unparalleled debt of thi.
csuutry been piled mp, and into whose

their wayi In order to answer thes,
questions, we call upon the stand Hon
JOHN P. HALE. This gentleman was ;
Radical Senator from New Hampshire
and in April, 1862, made the following
declaration in the Senate Chamber:
tell you, sir, believe, and declare
it upon nay responsibility as Senator
of the United States, that the liberties O
the country are in a greater danger to dag
from the CoRRUPTIoNS and from The
PRoFLIGACY practiced in the various de-
partments of government than they are
from the open enemy in the field.
The next witness is HENRY L. DAWES,
a Radical member of Congress from
Massachusetts. In 1862, he said:
The gentlemen must remember, that
in the first year of a Republican admin
istration, which came into power upon
professions of retrenchment and reform,
there is indubitable evidence (evidsnce
that cannot be doubted) abroad in the
land, that they have PLUNDERED THE
PUBLIC TREASURY we'll nigh in that sim
gle year rs much as the entire current
yearly expenses of the Government,
during the preceding administration.
Don PIATT, q leading Radical Of Ohio,
thus presented his testimony in the
Mack IA Cheek Press of June l, 1867:
From the hour of his (Lincsln's) first
Inauguration up to that Of his death,
the thieves were all in office. It was
impossible almost to lay hands on An
official and not touch man made rich
by his position. This was especially
the case with the moneyed offices. Hon
est men stood aghast at the impunity
with which stealing went on. All cries
of shame at the outrage seemed una
vailing. All opposition was thrown
away. Thieves were turned oat to be
succeeded by thieves, and colossal for
tunes were made in an hour. The amia-
BILE old President cracked jokes over
the rascality, and said that IN his APP
pointments he had run his hand into q
sack Of fifty snakes to find one eel.
This is the way the money went, TO
pay the interest upon which the prop
erty and labor of the country are now
taxed to the furthcrmost point. Will
the people keep the Radicals in power
and give them an opportunity of steal
ing still larger amounts of public
fnndsi

DURING the eight years of Radical
rule they have stolen money enough to
pay all the actual exk enses and three
times the honest expenses of the late
war. And they are aking the privilege
Of stealing for four years more. All the
indications are that the people are not
willing.

lT is a well ascertained fact that the
negroes aud carpet-baggers of all the
Southern Legislatures do not pay taxes
amounting in the aggregate to one
thousand dollars per year. Yet they
impose taxes upon Others, burden the
States with debt, aud vote themselves
ample pay, which they ask the Federal
authorities to collect by the bayonet.

Liberal Display OF Female Beauty
SARATOGA, August 26, 1863.

SARATOGA, August 26, 1868.
A procession of splendors is throng-
ing through the Congress Hall parlors
till midnight. In the long line marches
a lady from one of the interior towns Of
this State, whose garniture of diamonds
and gold is reputed at 100000. Verify,
cher price is far above rubies." How
happily doth the Scripture describe
these bellies: "They toll not, neither do
they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one Of these" l
have never seen 50 much Offemale beauty
here in any previous Season. Perhaps
we ought to emphasize the word secR;
for some of the female charms have
been startlingly visible. The theory
en- which the fashionable dresses are
constructed is to expose the upper por-
ton of lady 5 form, and to conceal the
carpet for several feet, or even yards,
behind her. The silk or the satin gar
ment extends for two or three inches
above the waist; and the rest is envel-
oped in q sort of gossamer illusion" or
delusion, or whatever else it may be
called. Rumor has il that father was
permitted the exquisite satisfaction Of
seeing his daughter hissed when she en-
tered a hotel drawing room. The story
may be false; but it is certainly true
that many a parent land husband, too
has richly deserved to be more than
hissed for permitting fair, beautiful
girl to become the indecent gazing stock
of = crowd of strangers aud the butt for
ribald jokes Of rskes and roues. This
is too serious q matter for jests. In these
times there is no little discussion about
"woman's rights'-her duties, dangers,
etc., etc. But let rs tell our country
men plainly that one OF their chief dan
gers comes from Paris Even now the

The tax paid by the people into the
Federal Treasury for tho year ending
July, 1868, were over five hundred and
sixty millions; for 1867, over five hum
dred millions, and for 1865, over four
hundred and seventy millions. These
taxes are in addition to all indirect tax
alton, such as taxation on the neces-
saries of life, for fees to oflice-holders
not paid out of the Treasury, and to all
local taxation. They are also in addi-
tion to the immense revenue derived
from the sale of property accumulated
during the war. What has become of
the money! Ask the Radical thieves

WATCH HIM OR MATCH HIM.-Somc
of the telegrephic dispatches say
that, at bhe military -despotism-negro
superiority convention at Chicago,
after the announcement of Grants
nomination, 'the flags in the rear of
the stand We're raised, and revealed to
the audience Il miniature house paint
ed on canvas, Oh which was painted
a full size figure of Gen. Grant, with
Columbia Mt his side, and over his
head the words, "lNdtch him."
The New York 1si6unc says the
words were "IKatch HIM" whereupon
tho World snys:
eff there is man in the country
who will bear watching by Colum-
bia, or by anybody interested in her
welfare just now, it certainly is the
parsonage who carried on such a
clever little negotiation with Andrew
Johnson about the War Department..
But was it quite civil to placard the
fact so conspicuonsly? And who is
to do the 'watching'-Colfax, or
Greeley, or Wade?'
Why select miniature house on
which to display Grants figure?
Doubtless to bring to mind that
part of the consideration expressed
in the bill Of sale, which Grant
signcd and handed over to them, wis
n house in Philadelphia, house in
Washington, and $780, 900 in bonds.
The military-despotism and negro
supremacy-ites are fond of allegori-
Cal illusions and illustrations. Not
long ago, Ha'per's Weekly had Il
large cartoon, representing Grant as
Prometheus.
Lemprierc says that Promcthcus
was thief and IL liar, "nnd surpassed
NIL mankind in cunning and fraud"
This was not complimentary to the
dictator; but perhaps M0per's Week
ty had discovered points of resem-
semblance which justified this piece
of exquisitely bitter satire upon
Grant.-Pcople's Weekly.
