The WIEDER BUTLER.--AIr. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, concludes his hum
bug statement designed to prove that
Radical financiering is all right, with the
following good anecdote of the contest for
the nomination in the fifth Massach usetts
district TE ~
81 have thus presented a statement
and problem to you. Have you, gen
tlemen of the fifth district of Massachu-
setts, now misrepresented in Congress,
any thing to do in this matter I? Gen.
Butler asks your support; he promises
you a great gain /; he has discovered a
gold mine in which all shall share except
the bondholders. asa
Not long since, a green-looking Yer
monter walked into the office of DIR. G. T.
Jackson, the chemist, in Boston. et'Dr
jackson, presume 2" said he. s'Yes,
SIR '.AIay L lock the door?" and he
did SO ;and having looked behind the
sofa and satisfied himself that no one else
was in the room, he placed large bun~
die done up in yellow bandanna on the
table and opened it. s'There, doctor,
look at that s'Well.' said the doctor,

said the man, ''isn't that stuff gold -
ssNo," said the doctor, ''it's good for
nothing it's iron pyrites - and putting
some over the fire in shovel, 1t evapor-
ated up the chimney. ''Wal," said the
poor fellow with woe begcne look, ''there

THE RULFRS or THE SOUTH-A SPECI-
MEN. ExHBrnoN-rhe scenes at abe
recent radical mass meeting in Ra,eigh,
n. c., show in a plain and disgJstingly
truthful manner what manner of men the
new rulers of the South are. Four or FIVE
thousand blacks were present, and they
abstained from acts of violence, owing,
perhaps, to the fact that the whites kept
within doors. They made day and night
hideous with oaths and drunken yells as
they swarmed about theastreets. At the
Capitol, mass of yelling, cursing negroes
filled the beautiful grounds and swarmed
into the various rooms and offices of the
building, while dancing, speaking, shout
ing and grotesque and Ashantee perfor-
nance ran riot. Up stairs, an ant grated
darkey was making a s'stump speech, .
standing in the chair of the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, while below,
another, dressed in earb of motley rags,
was preaching sermon TO the great edi-
fication of the Surrounding audience, who
shouted and eroaned alternately as the
performance progressed. AS the hour
waxed late, these poor creatures disposed
themselves for sleep in every part of tie
capitol. The Senate Chamber we'll filed
with negro women lying on;the floor or
reclining In chairs-a negro with blud>
G on acting as sentinel at the door, to keep
off the men-while the steps leading from
| the first floor, and the first floor itself,
were literally filed with recumbent re-
! groes, packed like sardines. Still later in
the night, after the rain set in, every porch
and sheltered corner in the city might
have been seen filled with negro men and
women huddled together in heaps, asleep,
to wake the next morning, cold, shivering
and hungry, to make their way on foot,
IN the mud, homewards.

THE ELECTION.

The electian on Tuesday, important
and exciting as it was, passed off quietly.
The Democratic vote in Cambria county
is large, but the entire vote was not polled.
There are fully two hundred Democratic
voters in Cambria county who were not
at the election, or, if there, declined to
vote. The majority for the State ticket
will be about 75O, and on Congress and
the County ticket, excepting District At
torney, the majority will reach about The
same.
There seems to be no doubt of the cleo
tion Of Hon. Henry d. Foster over old
"Glory-to-God' Covode in the Westmore-
land district, and it is confidently believed
that we have gained another Congressman
in the SchuylkilI district. Our own gall
liant and distinguished candidate for Con-
gress, Col. Linton, has been defeated by
some 700 or 800 majority, Miffiin county
having given a small majority against him,
instead Of 200 or 500 for him, as was ex-
pected.
In Philadelphia the Democrats have
elected their Mayor and defeated Messrs.
Myers and Taylor, Radical candidates for
Congress.
The Radicals have carried the State
by a small majority-it is impossible to
approximate the amount. 1t may be as
low as 5000, or as high as 900. The
next FREEMAN will give full results.
We have waited for returns until the
moment of going to press, and have no
time for comment We shall have some
thing to say next week.
Ohio, too, has gone for the Radicals,
although Impeacher Ashley is defeated for
Congress, and Indiana has probably de-
clared for the same party BY small ma
jority,

EXPERIENCE OF MAN WITH FIVE

Nashville Banner, certain drug house
EMPLOYS among its clerks nice young
mani Among his circle of intimate
friends he enjoys a distinction which,
Though not as envitable as less festive
youths might ycovet, serves, nevertheless,
as a wholesome warning to other rash ad-
venturers in the lists of love, whose am
bilious aspirations cannot be confined to
single victory over the affections OF sns-
ceptibe feminity, but are ever strained to-
ward other conquests He brought his
destinations to bear successfully on hive
fair damsels of our city. Five several
times did be plight his faith, five several
times promise his precious hand and heart
in marriage to five but 700 eager and too
credul6us expectants. The lovely quin-
tette became mutual confidants. One un-
lucky dav. when taking notes of each
others feelings, and diyulging the name
of the happy gallant who had extorted the
promise of marriage from each, they made
the startling discovery that each claimed
the man of rhul arb and squills. How to
punish the male coquette. The ingenuity
Of the mother of No. 5 was not long at
fault. Young Blue Beard was politely
invited to tea He fell into snare.
While enjoying tete a tete with Number
-Four, ten minutes later appeared Number
Three, and at similar intervals the re-
naming victims. There was no escape
for the terror stricken youth, and he
quaiIed before the anger that flashed from
five pairs of the brightest eyes that ever
pierced susceptible heart. He did what
braver men would have done-acknowl-
edged the corn. In extenuation he plead
ed that his feelings changed in spite of
himself, that he didn't mean to be tickle,
but that he always loved most the pretty
girl he might happen to see last. OF
course such logic had anything but a
soothing effect on that awful council of
injured loveliness Humbly repentant,
I crest fallen, and bearing himself ike a
| man with several fleas in his ear, he left
that cozy parlor a sadder, and we hope a
wiser man. There are hints that a sug>

One Thousand Dollars n Minute.

Week in and week out, month after
month, and year after year; through the
busy hours of the day and the silent
watches of the night observing the
sacred rest of no Christian Sabbath {;
relieved by the joyous welcome and
iocund shouts of no social, religious, or
national holiday steady as the measured,
unceasing beating of the chronometer.
One thousand dollars per- minute
For three consecutive years, which
have elapsed since the cessation of all
armed hostiities between the States and
sections of our country, have been wrCng
from the industry of our people to carry
forward the chimeras of the humanitarian
-s'party of great moral ideas"
Only think of it !

ingl y
Aud such a debt Its magnitude is all
most beyond the power of human compre>
hension
Why, If the angels who announced
with praise and thanksgiving the birth of
the infant Saviour, had, on that joyous
and glorious morn, commenced laying by
ten dollars per minute. and had continued
to do SO down to the present hour, the
whole accumulated sum would not pay the
cost to which the Jacobin party has sub
jected the country, by its monstrous efforts
to lift four millions of Africans above the
Caucasian race. -h f-
They justly suffer who impiously at
tempt to reverse the laws of the infinite !!
Why, the empty buckets, the vanishing
waters, the receding boughs, the recoil-
ing stone, and the consumed liver i
monster horrors Of ancient Hades-were
nothing compared with the penalties which
win be inflicted by just Providence
upon the wretches who have attempted
to reverse the immutable laws that Gre
ated the negro inferior and made him
subordinate to the Caucasion race.
Where is the voice of science? Where
are the teachings of history? Why have
they been mute these years of folly, crime
and calamity
The silence of those who should have
borne testimony to the truth, and the
scorn and violence of those who have
repressed it, have been alike criminal. =

DEATH OF GENERAL HOWELL Conn.,
General Howell Cobb, of Georgia, died
very suddenly at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
New York, on Friday morning. He was
standing at the top of the main staircase,
leading from the office of the hotel, talking
with his wife. His daughter, who is also
staying at the hotel, was not present at
the time. Suddenly he put his hand to
his head, and, uttering an exclamation,
cried, 81 am ill-very i'll !" He stag
gered against the abalustrade, sank upon
the upper step and partially tainted. As
sistance was, instantly obtained, and he
was carried into the reception-room and
laid upon a lounge. He never spoke af-
forwards, but in a few minutes, with one
strong convuIsive struggle, breathed his
last.

The OVATION TO MCLELLAN.-The
reception given to Gen. Mcclellan at Phil
adelpbia on Thursday last, was the grand
est affair of the kind that ever took place
in the country. 1t would be impossible
to convey the faintest idea of its extent
by any description of it we could give
The oldest inhabitant freely acknowledged
that Philadelphia never before experienced
such a rushing, crushing ground swell,
such a perfect upheayel of humanity, as
she did on that occasion. Chestnut street
from Fourth to Broad, and Broad from
Chestnut to Spring Garden, was one dense
mass of people, with every door, window,
and most of the house tops, filled. The
procession was from nine to ten miles in
length, requiring two hours and half to
to pass a given point. -
1t was not strictly partisan. NevertTIe-
less very few but Democrats took part in
it; while the feeling and enthusiasm of
the tens of thousands of spectators indi-
Gated that their sympathies were almost
unanimously with the Democrats. 1t was
proud day for MsClellan-a proud day
for the Democracy of Philadelphia.

Monks and Allsop, two Radical
bIoodhounds, organized a band of fifty
men 10 Howell county, Arkansas, joining
others from Douglas county, in the South
eastern part of the State, and proceeded
to Fulton county, Arkansas, on the bor
der Of Missouri, and the scene where Cap
tain Mason was recently murdered. They
succeeded in capturing four suspected
persons, and organizing a vigilance com
mittee, the men were put on trial, adjudg-
ed guilty and sentenced to be hung. The
decree was carried out to the letter, and
the four were executed as penalty for
their supposed deeds Of violence and nur-
der.

POIUCAL CATECHIsM. Who are res
sponsible for the civil war? Those who
provoked it. Who provoked il? Those
who made the rebels. Who made the
rebels? Those who drove them into re-
bellion by denying their rights in the
Union. Who did that? The Abolition
party, now called the Republican party.
Why did they do it? To get political
power and its spoils. How have they
used that power ? They have killed
vera! millions of men, piled nearly three
billions of debt upon the nation, taxed the
people to death 10 pay the interest on the
debt upon the nation, taxed the people to
death to pay the interest on the debt,
wiped out ten States and put them under
a military despotism, enfranchised ignor-
ant negroes and disfranchised intelligent
whites, overthrown the Constitution and
usurped unlimited power, made the Pres
ident no7entity and the Supreme Court
ditto, substituted paper for money, the
will of Congress for the will of the people,
a flag with twenty seven stars for flag
with thirty-seven, the rule Of minority
for that Of majority, and general disor-
der for universal peace, union, and pros
perity. How only can this state of affairs
be reformed? BY turning out of power
the political party that has produced it.

A WHITE MAN HUNG FOR RAPE AND
a NkGRo PARDoNED.-On Friday last a
white man, named John Parkins, WAS
hung at Portsmouth, Va, for committing
a rape. He died protesting his innocence,
but the astounding part of the story is the
announcement that a negro, arrested, tired,
and convicted of the same crime, and of
whose guilt there is not a shadow of a
doubt, has had his, sentence commuted TO
Imprisonment for life, on the presumed
ground that he is ''loyal, and the COM
mutation is certainly regarded in Virginia
in political light! 1t has come to this,
then, that there is political distinction
between a Radical and a rebel rape-a
distinction which could occur only to a
party based on ''moral ideas" Plain
things call for plain words; and in view
of the fact that there is frightful pro-
clivity among negroes to commit a crime
which III all ages and in all nations has
been considered the highest of outrages,
and in view of the vast number of negroes
who have just emerged from what Suns
ner calls 'Ethe barbarism of slavery" " = 1t
becomes matter of the gravest import
ance if this crime is to; be as good as bar
doned to conciIiate Radical or negro
region. Within a few days crimes Of
this character, in each instance by negroes
from the South, have been committed in
Connecticut and in Schenectady County
in New York. If these negroes are con-
victed Communication on political grounds
may be claimed upon the precedent estab-
Iished by the Governor Of Virginia.
