- What Did He Do with II f"-That's
The Question.

That able and pungent exponent OF
white Democracy, the Indianapolis SEN
tinel, thus scorchingly "goes for"
blcached niger Congressman, from
divorciauical Hoosierdom:
John Peter Cleaver Shanks, the Radi-
cal Congressman from the Eleventh
District, and candidate for reelection,
is costly representative. John Peter
Cleaver has an Etching palm" Ey-
erything is fish that comes into his net.
If he can't get gold, he will take green
backs, and when they give out, he will
take boot blacking, tooth picks, seap, or
anything else. John Peter Cleaver is
an accommodating gentleman. He gets
a salary of $4,000 a year, and mileage
from his home to Washington and back.
Many people would say that this was
enough for the services rendered by
John Peter Cleaver. But John Peter
Cleaver didn't think so. In addition to
his S5000a year and mileage, as afore-
said, John Peter Cleaver received the

Splendid meetings were held by the
Democrats in different parts of the city
last night. The Central Club had fine
attendance and were addressed by Gen
eral A. w. ADAMS, of New York. His
address was an interesting one, pointed,
effective and eloquent. His audience
were highly pleased with the effort, the
only regret being that for want of no.
tice, large Court House meeting could
not have been assembled to hear him.
After canvassing the State, General
ADAMS predicts the success of the ticket
in West Virginia by from three to five
thousand, and the election of SEYMOUR
in November, notwithstanding late re-
suits.
HENRY S. WALKER and Mr.. MYERS
addressed the Democrats of the Fourth
Ward. The meeting was large and full
of life. The Democrats of the Fourth
are alive to the work and will give a
good account of themselves tomorrow.
The Democrats of Washington town
ship were addressed at Independence
Hall, by Messrs. j. H. Coon and +. Z.
CRACRAFT. They had a fine audience
and were loudly applauded. Business
of an important character was trans
acted and every arrangement made to
bring out the full vote of Washington
township on tomorrow.
The meetings last night were all sue
cessful, aud their influence for good
will be felt at the polls tomorrow.

dices of the South are invincible on this
point, and inasmuch as the teachings of

No Taxes.

1t is faverite theory Of the Radical
party that the poor man pays no taxes
that because he does not, at annual pc
riods, draw check for so much money
due the government for income tax, or
tex on real estate, that therefore he is
free from all burdens OF this character.
This view is proclaimed by Radical ora
tors from the stump, and repeated in
the journals of that party. But there
was never a more erroneous position as
sumed or stated. In point of fact, the
poor laboring man pays as much, ii not
more tax, in proportion, than the rich
man. To be sure the tax is not direct,
but it is none the less certain and bur.
deRsome. AS taxation is imposed upon
land and money, the price OF all kinds
of goods advances. The laborer buying
them ut the retail store, has to pay not
only the original value of the thing,
but all the tax on it that has been paid
at each stage by the manufacturer or
importer, the Wholesale dealer and the
retail stOrekeeper. The tax is shifted
from one to the other, with additions
at each stage, until it comes to the Gus
tOmer-the one who buys the goods to
use and not to sell. And here the bur-
den rests; he must pay the whole accu-
mulated amount of taxation, and get
none of it back. As long as the goods
are being sold and transferred from
hand to hand, so long the tax is kept
shifting from one man to another; but
when the article ceases to be turned
over and becomes applied to the use for
which it was designed, then the tax can
be no further shifted. The man who
wears the shirt pays the tax of
the storekeeper who sold it, of the
wholesale dealer who supplied it to the
store, and of every man who has han
died it, back to the cotton factory mil
lionaire in whose mills it was woven.
AS jefferson says: Taxation is like
ball rolling down stairs; it bumps on
each step, but finally rests on the low
est" That is the workingman, and he
therefore is the most deeply interested
in having an honest, economical gov
ernment in order that taxation may
not enhance the volume of all he uses
and supplies to his family. The Radi-
Gals are wasteful, extravagant and cor
rupt. They have increased debt and
taxation, and will continne to do so.
Is such a party entitled to the support
of workingmen

Ohio County.

The IntelIigencer on yesterday proved
to it's own satisfaction that the Repub-
licans can carry Ohio county. This is
q favorite performance with cur cotem-
porary. Upon the eve of each county
and city election for the last three
years, that sagacious journal has
evolved the same result from its pro-
found calculations. The poll books,
however, have invariably told a differ
ent story. Just as our neighbor has es-
tablished, with great labor, the success
of the Republican ticket in Ohio county,
the count of the ballots puts in denial
and knocks it's glittering figures into
the nastiest kind of "pi."
Last Fall we carried Ohio county by
the slight majority of seven hundred
and twenty-five. The IntelHgencer ex-
plains this upon the theory that there
were but $500 votes polled and that the
stay -at-homes were Republican voters
While asserting that many so-called Re-
publican voters were not out, he omits
the tritling fact that many of them
who were out voted the Democratic
ticket and will do SO again. We know
of single township in this county
where fully twenty Republicans voted
the Democratic ticket for the first time
at the last election. They will repeat
the msneuvre again Tomorrow, along
with many others who have not here
tofore voted with the Democracy.
But how is majority of seven hun
dred and twenty-five to be overcome 7
This must be done, if at all, from those
who did not vote last Fall. They num-
her two thousand. This numberincludes
seven hundred newly registered votes.
OF these last, as our cotemporary is
probably aware, the Democrats have a
clear majority of two hundred. These
added to the former majority Of seven
hundred and twenty five, make major
ity of nine handred and twenty-five,
and there remain but thirteen hun
dred votes, not cast last year, out
of which to overcome it. Every body
who is acquainted with the facts
knows that at the last county election
the Democrats had fully as large an
uupolled vote as the Republicans.
Hence il every vote were polled, the
result would be certain majority for
The Democrats of about the number
stated. Allowing ten per cent. of the
votes now registered to remain unpolled
az thls election and there will be cast
about five thousand votes. Ont of for.

Radical Preference of Negroes 10
Rorei1uers


Our foreign-born citizens can arrive
at correct understanding of the senti-
ments entertained toward them on the
part of tho Radical leaders by consider.
ing the discrimination made in favor OF
negroes over them by Congressional
legislation.
Under the provisions of the naturali-
zation laws the German or the Irishman
who wishes to become q citizen of the
United States is required, after three
years. residence in the country, and one
in the State, to file his declaration OF
intention, taking an oath that during
the three years il has been his purpose
to become a citizen, and adducing sat
isfactory evidence of his good moral
character before the court having Jurls-
diction I; and then, two years after his
remuneration of allegiance to all foreign
potentates and powers, he may, on ap-
plication, receive his certificate of citi-
zenship. Saeh is the probation, and
such the process, to which every white
man who happens to have been born in
foreign country is subjected before he
can vote, or exercise any of the rights
How stands the regulation with re-
gard to the negroes exercising the rig ghts
of citizenship The reconstruction
laws have conferred citizenship upon
the negroes of the South who were but
the other day slaves, without any pre-
liminaries whatever. Though of an in
terior race, and profoundly ignorant of
all political and State affairs, the Rad
ical party has taken the debased and
brutal negroes at once from condition
of bondage, and made American citi-
zens of them. Nothing can be more
palpable than the fact that the negroes
were not citizens when they were slaves,
and yet they have already had those
privileges conferred upon them that it
takes the white foreigner so long to at
tain to.
But this is not all. Many of the ne
groes in the South upon whom citizen
ship has been thus instantaneously
conferred are foreigners by birth. We
have no means of arriving at the nun
ber of negroes of African and Cuban
birth who under the reconstruction
acts have had American citizenship
conferred on them, but there are GER
tainly good many. Many of our
readers will remember the excitement
that was created just before the war BY
the importation of negro slaves into
Southern ports, direct from Africa; and
it is unquestionable that a large num-
Der of negroes now in the South were
born in Cuba and the West India
Islands.
1t is not thing of no Significance
that the Radical candidate for the Vice
Presidency was Know Nothing of the
most intsleraHt and proscriptive sort.
Not only is the Radical party composed
in large part OF the old Know Nothing
material, but it prefers native negroes
to native whites, aud il infinitely pre-
ters negroes to white men of foreign
bir:h. Can any white map of foreign
birth be so lost to self-respect as to CO.
operate with SO Infamous an organize
tion
Most aptly did General Blair remark
in his speech accepting the Democratic
for the Vice Presidency: I'm
this contest We shall have the sympa-
thy of every one who is worthy to belong
to the white race"

The iO2S stnnd of Arms for Negroes
TO Kill Whites With.
From the Memphis Avalanche, October G.

From the Memphis Avalanche, October G.
In Saturdays 1raldnche we mention
ed the mysterious shipment from the
North, for Arkansas, of several thou
sand stand of arms. The announce
ment excited no little comment, and
their arrival at this port was awaited
with considerable interest. Yesterday
the boxes-167 in number and contain
ing 1929 stand of arms-reached here on
the Belle Memphis. They were in
charge of notorious carpet-bagger
named VIM. Hodges, Arkansas peniten-
tiary contractor, and a bird of the
Clayton feather. The boxes were con-
signed to "E. G. Exon" since ascertain
ed to be either a myth or password of
the Loyal League, and it was the inten-
ton of the sanguinary Hodgeslto re-shlp
them on the Liberty No. for DHvalIs
Bluff, this evening.
Hodges was accompanied by one Nc
Donald, Radical United States Senator
from Arkansas. McDoRald keeps a one
horse bank in Little Rock, and owns
stock in a couple of packets. 1t is
stated that he procured the arms In the
North, and shipped them, Hodges TAX
ing charge at st. Louis. During the
trip from st. Louis both were quite re-
ticent relative to the contents of the
boxes, declining to furnish any informa-
tion concerning them. No information
could be obtained from them yesterday.
Whether these Radical peace-makers
will speedily reach their destination is
not clear. No steamer in port would
receive them yesterday evening. The
White River packet line, the Des Arc,
and the Arkansas River packet Ozark,
refused to accept the boxes, which were
piled late last night on the levee,
guarded by detachment of police.
Everything connected with the mat
ter IS suspicious. The arms were not
ordered by or shipped to the United
States or State Government authorities
in Arkansas. There is no such person
in Little Rock as Exon" the reputed
consignee. The fact that Hodges and
Mcdonald are engineering the matter is
more suspicious than all else. For our
own part we have no doubt as t. their
destination. The Radicals are playing
a game emboldened by desperation in
Arkansas. They feel that the people
are turning against them, and that their
pswer can be perpetuated only by in
timidation or violence. These arms are
undoubtedly designed for the use of the
Loyal Leagues, ia which Mcdonald,
Hodges & Co., are prominent. tits pro-
posed to hold Arkansas in the Radical
interest by bloodshed, if necessary.
Last night Mcdonald, who owns stock
in the Arkansas River Packet Line, was
epdeavoriug to procure shipment for
the arms on the Ozark. 1t was not
thought improbable that be would suc-
ceed.

Everything Working Well in tke In

Everything Working Well IN tke In
terror Counties.
We are in receipt of cheering politi-
cal intelligence from the mountain dis
tricts, through the politeness of Gen.
ADAMS, who has recently travelled
throughout almost the entire State.
This gentleman has just returned
from visit TO Harrison aud Upshur
counties, and reports that the prospects
there are very encouraging-that even
Upshur, the banner Radical county, will
probably give small majority for CAM
DEN for Governor. He thinks, however,
that county will go for GRANT at the
Presidential election, but by reduced
majority. CAMDEN will run largely
ahead of his ticket, he thinks, both in
Harrison and Upshur counties.
The General met with many of the
"Boys in Blue" in many parts of the
interior, who had served with him in the
old West Virginia Cavalry Brigade in
the late war for the restoration (O of
the Union, (not for negro supremacy as
they claim,) and had with them
a pleasant reunion. ar
He was the last commander of this
intrepid Brigade, which was so long
commanded by General HENRY CAPE
HART. He thinks large proportion of
the Union soldiers in this State will
undoubtedly sustain the conservative
ticket; but he makes m exception of
Buckhannon and "Freuch Creek" " where
the Republicans will have decided
majority. He estimates the majority
for CAMDEN in the State at 5000.
STEVENSON, he says, is very unpopu-
lar in that part of the State on account
of his efforts, as President of the Sen
ate, in defeating Buckhannon for the
Capital.
We will add to the Generals report
that STEVENSON has rendered himself
unpopular with the voters of every part
of the State by his support of the pro-
scriptiye legislation of West Virginia,
and by his personal advocacy of negro
suffrage in Ohio last Fall. The Demo
Gratis have but to do their duty and
West Virginia is theirs.
