The Southern Votes Bill.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, with
reference to the bill which has just passed Con-
gress, relative to votes Of the States lately in
rebellion in the presidential election, says:
1T is an undisguised political device, de-
signed to make sure the election of Grant and
Colfax by throwing out of the electoral college
every Southern Democratic State We doubt
whether any honorable man of either party can
be found to apologize for or extenuate this
scheme. If realized it may achieve the success
Of Grant and Colfax, but it will forever re-
dound to the disgrace Of the party which per-
United so fragrant a wrong to be done. If Con-
gress should refuse to admit Southern electoral
votes on the plea that the South is still rebel
lious and not to be trusted with political rights,
we might smile at the stupidity of such state
ment and pity the Congress that knew no bet
ter. But to do it, openly and avowedly Tor the
same as avowedly,) with the object of defeat
ing the nominees, this is depth of shame, in
deed, for the legislation of this country to be
dragged into :"

Receipt for Yeast.

Sift one quart corn meal, of this take one
fourth part, scald with boiling water, and stir
until perfectly smooth and as thin as for bat
tercakes; when cool add two tea spoonfuls of
pounded alum, two of brown sugar, and a little
yeast. Let this stand in warm place nine or
ten hours; then add the remaining meal, make

Not So.

Horace Greeley said in public speech the
other day, by way of proving that the Radicals
were disposed to deal fairly with the South,
that the constitution about to be submitted to
the voters Of Virginia was made by her own
people. This is untrue 1t was framed by
lot of Yankee carpet baggers and scallawags,
and is no more entitled to be called the work of
the people in Virginia than the recent nomina-
tons in Tammany Hall are entitled to be called
the work of Horace Greeley. 1t is good
sign-this attempt of Greeley to make it ap-
pear that the Radicals are not forcing and have
States. It indicates that there are people at
the North who do not approve of the Infamous
acts of the present Congress.

The World says:
Horatio Seymour is, beyond all question or
contest, the first statesman in the Democratic
party-the one who most fully represents it's
principles, who has the most consummate abil-
ity to expound them with luminous cearness,
whose mind is the broadest, whose culture is
the most thorough, whose dignity of character
and bearing is best fitted to adorn great sta
ton, and to magnify even the high office for
which he has been nominated. lie possesses,
in pre-eminent degree, every personal quail
fcation and accomplishment which beft the
Chief MAGISTRATE of great nation.

outrageous Radical Legislation.

AS the prospects of the defeat OF the Radl-
cal party increase the Radical Congress deVises
schemes of the most outrageous character to
secure the retention of power and the success OF
their party erJas ant mefas In contrast with
the blazing iniquity of its recent Legislation,
even the diabolical legislation heretofore enact
ed by the Rump Congress shines with mild
and gentle radiance-beside the flaming dla-
bolism of its recent legislation its former ''paes
its Intellectual fires" The Radicals seem con-
scious that their party is in an extremely dan
gerous condition, if not absolutely In artlcuto
morris, and, to save it, if possible, they hest
tate not to resort to any device however wicked
and violative of the constitution and every prin-
ciple of liberty To effect that purpose they
refuse to allow Virginia an opportunity to vote
upon the constitution, and deny her the exer-
else of her indubitable right to vote for Presi-
dental electors. For the same purpose the
Radical Senate passed bill to arm the loyal
militia. e. negroes and scallawags-w
Springfield rifles For the same purpose the
Radical House of Representatives passed bill
putting the States of Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas-the remaining 'unreconstructed'
States-completely in the power of their res
pectve scallawag Conventions, providing that
the Conven ons of Virginia and Mississippi
shall reassemDle within four weeks-that OF
Texas being now in session-empowered by this
outrageous bill to remove all officers, from Gov
ernor down; to appoint others; to revise the
1,cfc. 70 mt
judges of elections; to count the vote; to ap-
point constabulary force; and, in word, to
render them absolute masters Of the people.
For the same purpose, the electoral College
bill which in substance, deprives every South
ern State of the right to vote for President,
that does not vote for the Radical candidates.
was passed over the Presidents veto by an
overwhelming majority in both Houses of Con-
gress In the Senate the vote was As to and
in the House l34 to sc.
For the same purpose, the Freedmen's Bu-
reau has been extended for another year from
the 10th of July, at cost of fifteen or twenty
millions of dollars. to be paid by the oppres-
sively taxed people who are forced to defray
the expenses of their own enslayement.
We have not the space even to mention brief
ly half of the various diabolical schemes of the
Radicals to outrage the rights of the people
that they may retain the possession of that
power which they SO UNANIMOUSLY abuse The
vocabulary of our language is inadequate to ex~
press in proper terms the character of Radical
legislation. Though it excites indignation, we
do not regret it, but rather rejoice at it, for we
consider it satisfactory evidence that the Radi-
cal party is in ertren,is and feel assured that it
will add to the force of that reaction in the
North which is our only hope of deliverance
from the living death of Radical rule

Election in Virginia.


Our readers are aware that, few weeks
since, bill passed the House Of Representa-
tives ordering an election in this State on the
18th, 14th and 18th of August. AS yet, the
Senate has failed to take this bill up, and as
Congress is about to adjourn, it will not be ia
ken up, and the election will, consequently, not
take place on the days mentioned. The reason
that the Senate failed to pass this bill is, that
the Radicals feel assured that they would be
defeated in this State both in the election on
the Constitution and for President IF the
chances were in their favor, the election would
be ordered Our people should not relax their
vigilance, but should hold themselves in readi-
ness to act with promptness and efficiency at a
moment notice, for the wiles of the unscru-
pulous Radicals are manifold, and they may
spring an election on US when we least expect
it. Be ready to act when the word is given
The Radicals are becoming desperate they
perceive that the chances are against them,
and they will resort to any device to retain the
possession of place and power The recent ac-
ton of the Radicals in Congress proves this
concusively, if any proof were needed. From
their action we augur favorably for the success
of the Democratic party The more outra-
geous the conduct of the Radicals in Congress,
the stronger will become the opposition to them
in the Northern and Western States, and more
certain the success Of the Democratic party.
A spontaneous meeting was held in Louis
ville Kentucky, Immediately after the recep-
ton of the news of the nomination. Speeches
were made by Governor Bramlette, Geo. D.
Prentice, and other prominent gentlemen. Geo.
d. Prentice closed his speech as follows:
1T is fitting that we rejoice. 1t is proper
that we thank God for our prospective deliv-
erance. That we are to be delivered [ know
and feel as we'll as if the spirit Of prophecy
were upon me. L see victory upon us as plain
ly as ever saw star In heaven. But victory
pre-supposes battle. To win it we must fight
And are we not prepared for the strife? Our
country has long been filled with gloom and
desolation and woe. A Government as horrid
as nightmare or an earth-devi or hell-devil
sits upon her bosom. The most beautiful por-
ton of our broad land is swept by sea of ty-
ranny worse than lake Of fire and birthstone.
Let us, then, all of US, go forth to our work
If by our own fault we fail in the mighty cause
in which we are now engaged. Gods curses
and mankind S and our own will rest upon us. y

''Twice defeated as a candidate for Governor
Sin this State, and twice elected to that high
"ofice, he is, by all odds, the most popular and
formidable Democrat in this State. He has
never held a national Office, but he has been
''loaded with all the honors his State could
''give him. Mr. Seymour is a strong nominee,
"and will rally all the Democracy to him. AS
