USIyERsAL AslSEsrY.-Ex-Goyern-
or Bramlette, of Kentucky, in letter
to Senator McCreery, says: Univer-
sal amnesty, with no exceptions what
ever, was the policy l advocated, and
our experience in Kentucky fully at
tests the correctness Of the principle
We have now in Kentucky better and
kindlier relations among our people
than exists in any State North or
South of US, and it is attributed to
the policy inaugurated 1by me, and
carried out by the Legislature upon
my earnest recommendation. Had
the same policy been adopted by the
Federal authorities, our present dan
gerous condition would have been
averted, and this day, instead of hay-
ing an oppressed, down-trodden and
ruined people in the Southern States,
We would be the best united, most
prosperous and happy nation on
earth.

CoxsIsTENcY--Th Freedmen's Bu-
reau employs seven hundred agents
and clerks, whose aggregate salaries
are $809,340 per annum. OF these
sixty-four are in Washington, at a
cost of $93,8 500 per annum; and in ad-
dition there are fifty-six others, at a
cost OF $53,64o. Maryland has only
nine, at cost of 81, ZOO per annum;
while Virginia has fifty-three, at q
cost of $61,18o. Altogether the mill
tary and bureau cost 81, 100000 per
year of the peoples money. And yet
people will growl and grumble about
hard times, and heavy taxes, and scar
city of money, and all this, and still
vote to continue the party in power
who are running this Freedmen's Bu-
reau machine at cost ct $11,0oo,oo0
per annum of the laboring peoples
hard earned money! Gentlemen, for
consistency's sake, don't whine about
hard times, and oppressive taxation,
apd then vote the Radical ticket.
Many men are seeing this thing in
the proper light, and are deserting
the rotten, corrupt and extrayagant
party who are foisting this outrage
upon the tax payers of the nation.

RADICAL PAsrnfE.-A short time
since alarming reports came from
Eastern Virginia to the effect that
large gangs of the Ku-Kluxes were
infesting the country and threatening
the lives of Radicals. 1t turns out
that the reports were based on letters
received by prominent Radicals who
were threatened with annihilation.
An investigation of the matter reveal
cd the fact that the letters were writ
ten by Radicals to their own brethren
for the purpose of casting odium on
the Democratic party. Try again.

KILLING THE GOOSE.


1t has always been recognized fact
that the Southern States produce most Of
our foreign exports Of the domestic ar
ticles, and Of course furnish the means of
our exchanges The result Of the rebel
lion has not changed this feature OF
American commerce. 1T appears from
the Official reports that the total exports
Of domestic produce, ending for the year
June 30, 1867, was s471 ,608, 900. Of
this amount, for the same period, the
South produced 1923 ,40G, ,753. The ez-
port Of cotton for the fiscal year Of 1866,
| 800, 81, ,957. Owing mainly to the in
reference with the labor Of the South by
the reconstruction measures Of Congress,
the product of cotton exported for The
year ending with June, 1867, fell to
1913, ,90S,8
II IL well understood that we rely
upon the products Of cotton, tobacco and
rice mainly to meet the balance Of trade
against us created by our large importa-
tons. For tic last year, this balance,
owing to the falling off Of the cotton crop,
has been met BY shipment of the United
States bonds, which il ono reason why
our securities stand 80 low in the foreign
markets. If the South were restored to
thc Union, and those States permitted 70
enact needful laws to regulate labor, and
the freedmeu's Bureau abolished, the
Southern States would still maintain their
position NJ producers Of cotton. As it is.

A CRusnER.-The Erie (Pa.) Dis
patch, an influential Republican pa
per, refuses to back Grant in the
Presidential race. It knows him and
says that the slime of blockhead
Presidents ought to be passed, and
that no man too stupid to mako two
minutes speech can be placed in the
White House by the aid of it's influ-
ence." Thousands of sensible Repub-
licans everywhere are coming to the
same conclusion, and will rally under
the Democratic flag rs the only means
of securing the country from the
curse that would follow the election
of Grant to a position SO exalted and
responsible and for which he is so Inn
perfectly qualified.

DEATH OF TmOs. III. SEYMOUR.

| DEATH OF THOS. n. SEYMOUR.
The telegraph brings to the Pacific
shores the unwelcome intelligence of
the death of that distinguished patri-
OF and statesman, Governor Seymour,
of Connecticut ut bis home in Hart
ford, on the evening of the third in
stant, of typhoid fever. Mr. Seymour
was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in
1908, aud, consequently, was go years
of age ut the time of hrs death. lie
received his education at the Middle
town Military Academy, and studied
law and entered into the practice of
the profession in his native town. lie
was for several years editor of a lead
ing Democratic paper of that city,
during which time he was elected
Probate Judge. In 1913 he was cleo
ted Representative to Congress from
his District; and in 1916 went to
Mexico as Major Of the New England
Regiment, which he commanded after
the fall of Colonel Ransom. His regi-
ment distinguished itself under his
command at the City of Mexico, re-
cciving high commcndation from Gen
eral Scott. lie was elected Governor
by the Democracy of Connecticut in
1850, and reelected for three terms
thereafter. He was . Presidential
Elector of Frank Pierce in 1852, and
was subsequent appointed by Presi-
dent Pierce, Minister to the Court Of
ST Petersburgh, Russia.
No man Of the nation has served
his country with more disinterested
and unseltish motives, than has the
Hon. Thomas II. Seymour, and no
man has borne the honors that 4 vic
torious party has heaped upon him
with more credit and natural dignity
than he. The sterling Democracy of
Connecticut were proud Of him rs n
leader, and he never qHaiIcd from any
responsibility or duty, even in the
dark DAYS OF civil war which enycl-
oped our land, that they assigned him
to perform in political strife. During
those stormy days, when to adhere to
the Constitution and Democracy was
/ 10 brand one rs a traitor aud crdan-
ger his life and property among the
proscriptionists Of New England
Mr.. Seymour stood up dciantly for
his principles, Drawing the bastils and
the bayonet with an iron heart and n
determined will; and under his lead
ership his gallant State was the FIRST
to wheel into line in support Of De
mocracy and right at the close Of the
bloody strife Of arms. IN the spring
of 1867, when every Northern State
was under Radical rule, aud darkness
and despair had almost taken entire
control Of the ercat Democratic heart
of the nation, old Connecticut, under
/ his guidance, woke the slumbcring
echoes with her shout of victory, aud
gave the first motion to the great ball
of revolution that has ever since been
sweeping over our land like wildlrc,
scattering death and destruction into
the camp Of RadicaIism, and bringing
a thrill Of hope and glad JOY to the
oppressed and tax-rideIen people d
the nation. The Democracy owe
Thomas II. Seymour more than they
could have ever repaid, but his memo
ry will remain fresh and green il
their hearts when that Of others who
shall come hereafter has long faded
away and become sunk in oblivion.
