Remember. that whatever may here
totore have been your political associ-
ations, You belong to the Democratic
party, and that your welfare depends
upon its success.-Re0iSter.
This is only another way of putting
the Democratic theory that capital
should own labor-that the rich men
should own the poor men, as they used
to do in the South. Please remember
also, workingmen, thatif the SO called
Democratic party had the power in this
country you would "belong" to them:
for even now that party in the South,
speaking by the mouths of its most
eminent members, like Mr.. Wade
Hampton, tells the poor men there,
tVote with us or starved" -Ifyou want
to get into the clutches of party that
has this for its motto, whose leaders
believe that only they, the rich and
educated, ought to have any free voice
in the Government, vote for Seymour
and Blair, for they head such party.

The Oktibbeha NeU Era relates a
good one, which we give our readers
One Of the radical candidates for
the Legislature in Choctaw county
has little boy about fifteen years
old, who had fallen in love and en-
gagged himself to one Of the neigbbor
girls. His father learning the facts,
hunted the young man up, and find
ing him at his lady-loye's house, gave
him good thrashing and sent him
home. The little fellow started on
his way crying, and met one Of the
neighbors, who inquired what was
the matter. The little fellow replied,
his father had whipped him because
he wanted to marry. "Why, my
SON." said the neighbor, ~ wouldn't
care for that /; plenty Of time in FIVE
years for you to marry. "Yes, but |
do" replied the little fellow, blubber-
ing, "I have got chance to marry a
white girl now, and the way dads
going on I'll have TO marry a Niger" /"

Gillem's troubles in running the

SALARTED CRIMISALs.--One An
derson, the collector Of internal rev.
enue in the fourth Virginia district,
was convicted of fraud and corrup-
ton in Office, and sentenced to the
penitentiary, where he is now serving
the country. Yet, under the provis-
ions of the tenure-of-ofiice law, the
Attorney General has decided that he
is still the legal collector, the Senate
having refused to confirm man in
his place. In so refusing, the Radi-
cal Senators knew that this peniten-
tiary bird must, under their own law,
remain in Office, and it is probable
that he shares with the corruption
fund the salary and stealings Of the
office. What a commentary on Rad
ical legislation-an inmate OF the
penitentiary deliberately kept in an
Office while serving his term of i'm
prisonment for fraud in that Office
A penitentiary bird holding an Office
and receiving its salary while confin-
ed in prison and supported at the
public expense. He is probably as
honest and worthy as one-hali of the
Radical ofiice-holders who have not
yet RECEIVED the merited punishment
inflicted on him ! but for decency'.
sake il would seem that he should b,
deposed from office, and not allowed
TO continue his plundering Will,
wearing the convict's garb.
