We had a call one day last
week, from Mrs. Boutwell,, an
old lady, eighty years of age,
who had never before been in
a printing Office. She was one
of the pioneer mothers of our
State, and moved here many
years before the town of Nc
Arthur was thought of. Like
all of her class, she carries her
age well, and could readily call
the names of the different non.
pariel ietters-the smallest
type we use. But one or two
persons are living here now,
who were here when she came.
All the rest of us are "carpet.
baggers."

The Prospects In VintOn.

Everything is encouraging.
We are gaining ground every
day. One can not help but
note the chan SO since last
Fall. Then it was almost i'm
possible for the Republicans to
get the people out to a meet
ing; now, the people are organ
izing their own meetings, ask
ing for speakers themselves
Then, the Democracy were
alive with cries of "retrench-
ment, tax the bonds, do you
want a ,niggar to be your
equal?" Now they are met by
their own members with taunts
for their broken yows-,long
Legislature, no tax on bonds,
Joe Williams, you throwed over
our man Pendleton and took
up Old Bonds that killed him."
and they refuse to come out TO
meetings.
Their first call for a meeting
in this township met with no
response whatever, the second
mustered just seventy-three,
to hear DUNCAN and DuHad'
way, thirty-fve of whom were
Republicans. Hon. A. j.
Swaim's meeting at Wesley
Chapel, Swan township, mum
bered just twelve men, three la
dies, and two children, while
his meeting with Judge Craig
at Hamden, did not come of
for want of an audience. Veri,
Fly, the people want peace.
The meeting at the Court
House, last Tuesday, to organ
ize, after one entire failure
numbered forty-three men and
thirteen ladies, when we count
ed them, and at no time was
there more than twenty more
than that number, one.iourth
at least of whom were Repub
licans.

We had the pleasure Of
meeting Mr.. Ransom Fox, at
Hamden, one day last week.
He has been in the South dur
ing the past year, and has just
returned. One would think
that so quiet and peaceble a
man as Mr.. Fox would not be
bothered, even by the Ku Klux.
But not so. We have before
US a notice from the Klan to
Mr.. Fox to quit the county,
We copy it rerJatim, and ask
our Democratic friends if it is
not outrageous; that a man can
not pursue his every day bust
ness in any, part of this coun-
try "with none to molest or
make him afraidw The follow

sire to see a veritable Ku-Klux

ter is to be made public next
week:
Mr.. JoNEs-August Belmont,

a bond in his life. He agrees
with Brick Pomeroy that they
should be repudiated, as we'll

cause it is his policy that they
should be paid in gold.

therein shall be reduced in thsproportion which
tbs number of such NAL. citizens shall bear to
the whole nun5er of male citizens t'Oenty -one

The plain conclusion is that if in any
State the election of Presidential electors is
taken out of the hands of the people and
placed in the hands of the Legislature, the
whole number of citizens in the State, not
members of the Legislature, will be ezclud-
ed from the basis of representation, which
would give the State no more than one-hun-
dredth part of one representative or vote in
the electoral college instead of the number
to which she is now entitled. 1t is to be
hoped that the Congressman from Florida
whose State has already passed law giving
the election of Presidential electors to the
Legislature, will at once resign the seats to
which they have no right.

Congress Caught in its Own Trap.

The fourteenth Constitutional Amend
ment, now declared to be part of the Con-
stitution of the United States, seems to
decide the manner Of voting for electors for
President and Vice-P President in very sum-
mary manner.
The section two of the amendment is as
follows:
"SEoTIoN 2. Representatives shall be ap-
portioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed. But when the
right to uote at any election for the choice Of
electors for President and Vice President Of the
United States, representatives in Congress,
the executive and judicial officers of State,
or the members of the Legislature thereof,
is denied to any Of the male Inhabitants OF such
State, being twenty-one years Of age and
citizens of the United States, or in any way
abridged, except for participation in rebel
lion OF other crime, the basis Of representation

WE DESIRE to call the attention Of the
white people of this State, and Of the North
ern States, to the detailed accounts of the
negro military organizations in the country
districts, given in our report Of the proceed
ings of the Columbia Democratic Convention,
published this morning. It will be seen
that the people of Union District narrowly
escaped an attack by band Of two thousand
armed negroes, which, we may add, was
considered 80 certain, that the mother of one
of the negro prisoners in the town Jail was
waiting near the gate for his release, and
that number of colored women came in
with baskets to take their share of the
plunder of the stores. This may be the
"peace" of General GRANT, but to US it is
worse than war.
