JuiesbuTg.

A correspondent from the far west thus
speaks of the quondam Julesburg--a town
famous above all others in the annals OF
border crime and iniquity:
This once famous city of 10, 900 inhabi-
tants, the very Sodom and Gomorrah of
iniquity, with its roughs and gamblers. its
murderers and courtesans, who for a time
converted the spot into very hell, and
whose graveyards are filed with the bodies
of those WHO died by the hand of their
own violence, is now almost deserted, and
but two or three buildings, mostly adobe
huts, mark the spot where Julesburg was.
Silence here reigns almost as supreme as
its counterpart of the plains beneath the
Dead Sea. At the distance of some five
miles is to be seen the old town of Jules
burg ON the Platte river, and at one time
an important trading point ON the route to
the mines; but now little is left here of
civilization, and were it not for the name
of the town on the Union Pacific Railroad
as station, its existence would pass away
from mortal ken. Whether it viii ever be
resurrected and become town of promi-
nence, time alone will determine; the To-
cality however, will be more likely to pros
per under another name, as with the
present one the associations are of char
humanity. As an illustration of the char
acter of the place during its prosperity, we
would state that large adobe gambling
institution, called the ''King of the Hells,
was rented at 5000 per day; and here were
wasted the earnings of the men engaged in
the building Of the great Pacific Railroad.

charge OfprodigaIity is not true. He
explained that Immediately after Gen.
Lees surrender one million Of SOL
diers and fifty thousand sailors had
to be mustered out, and money had
to be provided for their back pay,
bounty, and their prize money; and
for these objects six hundred and
twenty-five million dollars were eE-
pended as soon as the accounts could
be settled after the final victory Of
General Grant, and all within one
hundred and fifty days. Mr.. Blaine
asked if Gov. Seymour and his friends
objected to this payment of the hon
orable debt of the Republic to the
men who risked their lives to save
the life Of the nation. Mr.. Blaine
further stated that according to Sey-
mOur's own figures only Sl75, ,0OO. 600
had been expended in three years for
the current and legitimate expendi-
lures for both army andnavy, or $751;
100000 per annum for both branches
of the SERVICES far les sum per
regiment for the army than was ex-
pended for the same service in Buch-
anan's administration, and Buehan-
ans expenditures were in gold, while
the present disbursements were in pa
per. The army had never been 80
economically administered as under
General Grant.

Negro Supremacy.

Nothing is or can be mole absurd
than the talk of the Democratic" pa
pers and politicians about "negro su-
premaey" on this continent, or even
in the Southern States. The entire
population ofthe United States to day
numbers about 35,O0O,OO0, of which
less than 100000 are wholly orfn
part Of African descent. Fewer than
one. seventh Of the population are
either black, mulattoes or quadroons.
And this fraction will be continually
growing smaller because there will
be no negro emigration, while mil
lions Of whites from every country in
Europe are continually coming to
swell the aggregate white population,
The last Census showed a black
majority in only two Of the Southern
States-SOuth Carolina and Misais-
sippi. Senator DOolittle, and those
who follow Andrew johnson, have
publicly declared that one half of
all the negroes in the country when
the census was taken, have died
since. If so, or if this statement ap-
prOximates the truth, then there is
nothing like a negro majority in any
State. We are free to say we do not
think it is true. But true or not,
there is no danger of Africaniziug
any portion of the Union, North or
South-not half the danger there is
of Irishizing it, or Catholicizing it.
There is really no danger of doing
any of these things. The vast MAJOR
ity of the people of the United States
are whites, and always will be, Be-
ing a majority, and our government
being a government of the majority,
it will of course, always be "a white
mans government" But that na,
ton Of white men are to be frighten-
ed into denying the simplest rights
to negroes for fear Of "negrO suprem-
acy," we do not believe. The propO-
sitiOn is as much an insult to the
whites as it is awrong to the blacks,
It is said the negro is ignorant. So
he is. Who made him so, and kept
him SOP Millions of whites are igno-
rant, quite as ignorant asthe negroes,
the negroes excuse. Have
ignorant men no rights? Or is it ig-
nOrant black men only, who have
no rights2 We would ike to know
line is to be drawn. VIII

Miscellaneous.
orthe RennbIie

SaVlOFS Oh the BeDublIe.
The character of the Democratic party
can be best learned by observing the
character and antecedents of the men
the party have chosen to represent
them.
The personnel of the Democratic ma
tiOnal convention is therefore a subject
Of curious speculation and instructive
contemplation. Here are some of the
representative men of the Democratic
party, or as the New York World has
it, The men upon whom the Republic
relies for safety
Gen. n. B. Forrest, who, before the
Shareholders rebellion, was a wholesale
and retail dealer in men, women and
| children, being senior member of the
firm Of Forrest, Jones & Co., whose
place of business, was SO Adams street,
Memphis, Tenn. Having found that
rasing mulattOes for the market was a
profitable business, Forrest was the
first to join the grand instruction to
make slavery perpetual. During the
progress of the rebellion he fought
with all the bravery of a Ghoctaw Chief,
and at Fort Pillow massacred and mu-
tilated cOlOred prisoners in the most
chiValrOus and courageous manner.
Forrest has been a lifelong Democrat,
but has never been in better standing
than since he showed his antipathy to
negroes by cutting their threats at
! Fort Pillow.
Gen. Wade Hampton, who is to-day
the leading South Carolina secessiOnist,
an unrepenting rebel and as anmitiga-
ted traitor as ever fought against his
c0untry's flag. When whipped by Gen.
Sherman he refused to sNrrender when
the forces he commanded were COM
PEELED to surrender, and having defied
the military arm of the Government
then, has been defying the civil Gov
eminent ever since. He has lately been
spouting treason at Lees College, |
when he was invited to instruct the
young students concerning their duties
in life. Hampton has already been
appointed on important Committees,
and is quite pet with the Democracy. |
But we must refer the reader to that
high Democratic authority, the N. Y.
World, which under the head of Their !
Record Of Services to the Nation, gives
sketches of long list of confederate
brigadiers, coloHels, congressman, etc,
who are now engaged in saving the ma
ton, in reforming abuses, and in ma
king president for us at New York.
There are the rebel generals Gordon,
and Vance aud Hoke and Ransom and |
Cox and Clingham, and civil service
traitors like Rhett and Perry Aldrich.
These, with Vallandigham and Edison |
B. Olds and voorhees, and Burr, are the
men who are to save the Republic |
From such saviOrs good lord deliver
us!- Columbus Journal.

A MOTHERS CoUNsEL-Forty years
ago, a mother stood on the green hills
of Vermont, holding by the right
hand a son, sixteen years old, mad
with love of the sea. And, as she
stood by the garden gate, that sunny
morning, she said: Edwin, they tell
me-fOr 1 never saw the Ocean-that
the great temptation of the seaman's
life is drink. Promise me, before you
quit your mothers hand, that you
will never drink" gave the prom
ise, and I went the broad globe over
the Mediterranean, San
Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the
North pole and the south-I saw them
all in forty years, and I never saw a
glass filed with sparkling liquor
that my mothers form by the garden
gate, on thegreen hillside of Vermont,
did not rise before me; and to-day,
at sixty, my lips are innocent Of the
tast Of.liquor.

Sound Talk.

The Irish Republic, of Chicago,
is the most emphatic and determined
Of the Fenian journals; and that pa
per, its senses quickened by the cause
of liberty to which it is devoted, new
er fails to comprehend the full mean
ing Of partisan movements here at
home. In its last number, it strikes
at the root of the present difficulty
and danger thus, in a sledge-ham.
mer blow:
Nominally there are two parties to
to the contest which has ragged in the
National Capital during the greater
part of the period which has elapsed
since Abraham Lincoln died by the
bullet Of an assassin. There are, the
Congress on one hand, and Andrew
johnson and his advisers on the 9TH
er. But, in point Of fact and reality,
these are onlysthe visible champions
of principles which lie at the very
foundation of all human government,
and of interests which extend over the
entire length and breadth Of the Uni
ted States.-The god-like principle
of mans right to be free, and the
devilish principle of mans power to
enslave, are doing battle as fereely
from the Capitol and the White House
as they did between Grant and Lee
on the blood stained fields of Virgin
ia.-Whether the old human-ehattel-
owning interests of the South, back
ed up by the ignorant and uncleaD
hordes of the mock Democracy Of the
North, shall rule this American con-
tinent, and make it in the name Of
the Republic, a bulwark to all the
tyrannies Of the earth, the very
stronghold and vanguard ofthe vilest
and beastliest that ever cursed man
kind, or whether these States, in
which the mighty problem of the
worlds destiny seems likely to be
solved, shall be controlled by the men
who rob no maR--white or black,
American, Irishman, German, Gem
tile or Jew-of the liberty which God
has given him-by the men who
would make this country a real Re
public, land in which the rights Of
the poorest and weakest shall be a.
sacredly respected as those of the
proudest and most powerful, a land
in which it will be a thing impossible
to be, or to have, a slave-by the
men who believe in liberty as they
believe in God-the protection, the
enjoyment, the blessing ofa races
and lands-are the questions at issue.

There are but three States remain
ing unreconstructed. In Mississi ppi
the new Constitution appears to be re
jected, and the people can have their
choice of military government for a
while longer. Operations in Virginia
are slow, and in Texas still slower.
All three of these States are likely to
lose their electoral votes, leaving the
Presidential election to be decided by
thirty-four States, or by thirty-five,
should Colorado be admitted during
the present session.

MIR, BIair's Reply to Mr.. Sey-
mOur.

In his last speech at the Cooper In
stitute, Governor Seymour took espe-
eial pains to charge that the expenses
of the war and naval establishments
had been ruinously extravagant. His
statement was that
"Since July 1st, 1865, about three
months after the surrender of Lee, up
to July 1st, 1868, the cost of the gov
ernment will be by official reports and
estimates, S82O.39O, ,2O8."
In the debate in the House Of Rep
resentatives, on Saturday last, Hon.
James G. Blaine, of the Augusta Dis
trict in Maine, explained the matter,
and showed that Mr.. Seymour"
