legally elected and qualified members, and
assigned defeated Radicals 10 the vacated
seats. Hence it appears that it is perfectly
justifable to expel qualified white men who
happen to be Democrats, but wicked in the
extreme to expel unqualified negroes who
happen To be negroes. All of which is rigor-
ouslv deducible from the fundamental Radi-
cal doctrine that all "loi" men-to-wit:
Radicals-have natural right to vote; and
all "disloil men-to-wit: Democrats
ought TO be DISTINGUISHED.
But the point to which we wished to draw
attention is Gov. Bullock's confession that
the so-called Constitution of Georgia was
framed by the representatives of $1,000 black
men and 5000 white men. Here is fact
for the country-the great State of Georgia,
in which there is large majority of whites,
has been compelled, by congressional inter-
vention to submit to virtual negro rule, and
what is true of Georgia, is true of the other
reconstructed States-their governments are,
essentially, negro governments-but it is also
true of the other reconstructed States, as well
as of Georgia, that, as negro governments, the
existing governments cannot endure. The
result so quickly reached in Georgia, must be
reached in all Of them at last. The futility OF
the effort to suppress the voice of the white
people of the South is already manifest
even carpet-baggers and scalawags are begin
ming to see that the bottom has fallen out of
the whole scheme.

A maiden at her mirror stood,
Combing her dark brown hair,
And, in a gay, exultant mood,
She chirped this little air:
Yes, men may come and men may go;
But why should a maiden care?
III shake them of like fakes Of snow,
For i am young and fair!
Heigho!
For I am young and fair! !"
AT TWENTY-FIVE.
Bending before her mirror bright,
She sighed, with anxious air.

TIE LONDON TINES ON THE ALABAMA CASE
The Tines of the l4th has a long editorial article
on American affairs. The writer believes Mr..
johnson, the American minister, has a carte
blanche from his government to settle the Alsba.
ma case. The case of itself presents little
trouble. The only difficulty is the reluctance Of
the American government to settle difficulty
growing out of war resentments. No American
statesmen ever believed that the Alabama escaped
with the connivanee Of Great Britain. There
might be question Of inadequate laws, making
England answersble but this could be easily
settled. The real grievances Of the United States
were the indifference of England in the civil war,
and her willingness to see the Union dissolved.
OF this the Americans were conscious at the time
ard remember it keenly now. They think we
should have bad an active sympathy with the
North; that Confederacy based upon human
slavery should have at once been condemned;
that the Republican party was the true friend Of
England that II was wrong even to doubt the
success Of the Federal arms. After all the anger
Of the Americans was due to their consciousness
of Englsnd's want Of sympathy in the hour Of
their peril. But the anger, IL right, has been
enough INDUCED. Mr.. Seward has refused the
handsome offer Of America, which should be cred.
tied TO England. He now cuts the past a1rft,
and the thing is as good as settled. Legal points
will not stand IN the way. The only thing to as
certain is the responsibility Of England, and to TX
the indemnity.

The Grecinn Bend.

The most absurd affectation yet, is
now ceming into vogue, at the different
watering-places. The young
beauties who congregate at these places
have seen, or read, or heard of the Ve.
nus di Mediei, and have come to know
that that model sf beauty stands net
erect, but bending slightly forward.
Therefore these American bellies are
adopting this popularity. Whenever
they are walking or in a standing pesi-
tion, they cause their bodies, from the
hips up, to incline slightly forward, aud
this is called tho Grecian Bend"
This is very much like the affectation
which some people have of writing q
very bad hand, because some man sf
genius whom they admire, wrote bad
hand. The Venus di Medici does indeed
bend forward, but with her, it is merely
AL accidental position, arising from the
fact that she is supposed TO be just
stepping out Of the bath. The Venus
of Milo. and, indeed, all the other stat.
ues of Venus extant, represent her in
an erect and queenly position, and with.
out the slightest trace Of the socalled
Grecian bend. The new fashion, how.
ever, will run its day in spite of reason
and common sense.-Pittsburgh Dispatch

A fine spirit is now manifest in our
party, ia this city aud county, and, in
fact, throughout the whole State. Meet
ings are being held at the county school
houses and crossroads, the very places
above all Others whero effective work
can be accomplished By public discus,
sions. The old plan of canvassing up
the mountains and down the valleys is
the successful one, and we are gratified
and encouraged to find it so generally
adopted by our party friends.
At these country and street corner
meetings, it is quite common for the as,
semblages to erect handsome hickory
poles from which the emblem of a
united, happy, and prosperous Republic
is floated in the breeze. This is an ex'
celleut practice, aud We trust it may be
even more generally adopted. We
would be glad to see straight and
graceful hickory on every corner in this
city; at every school house and cross
roads in the country. Run up the EN-
blems of your faith and show your con
fidence in success.

Radical Abuse.

Ever since the foundation of the Re-
publican party its strongest point has
been that system of political abuse by
scurrillous epithets and ungenerous mis-
representations of its opponents. The
vocabulary of vitaperative adjectives
has been exhausted, while such OPPOSE
twaddle has stood them in the stead of
reason. The have assumed that all the
truth and decency is on their side and
at the same time, have been systematic
ally abusing the opposition, without
attempting to refute their arguments.
Their eminent" and eloquent" states
men, and "trenchant" scribblers for the
press, have loaded Democracy with all
sorts of childish denunciation and scan
dalous gossip about her great and good
apostles. And thus the world has been
partially deceived by the Informing
New England mind and all that is best,
most beautiful, honorable and chival-
rous in this country has been kept in
the back ground by the vulgar glare of
Yankee invention, enterprise" AFRO
gance, self-laudation and cheek.

Fast Girls.

Only to be talked about; that is the
aim and end of her aspirations. If she
is married, she would prefer to preface
the wedding by an elopement, and cpl
logue it with q divorce; not to be i'm
moral, but only to be notorious. lfshe
can't be divorced, ut least she can run
away, with the faithless father OF some
very large and interesting family. The
larger and the more interesting the bet
ter, because the more Opprobrium and
and consequently the more comment.
Sometimes, but rarely, she settles down
to course of quiet domestic felicity;
marries some retired grocer or tai
low chandler of fabulous wealth,
and is sung by enraptured
Jenkinses at every watering
place she honors with her startling
presence. Her diamonds are always
more costly, her costumes more recherche
and numerous, her liveries more gorge
Gus, her horses more blooded, her hotel
bills more appalling than any one else's:
Her name is always in the mouths OF
men, the daily papers chronicle her out
goings and her incomings; she is tirst
among lady directors of every ball,
and church, and sewing society; her
fame flies abroad, gathering strength as
it goes, and she is happy. As for the
grocer, if he is not happy, everybody
straightway reviles him, and cries
shame on him, and tells him what a
brute he is, which ought to make him
very cheerful indeed. And for her
children, she never has any.-Ronnd

Radical Fniruess-An ILLUSTRATION in
Hardy County.

The writer of this has had some assur-
ances from those high in authority in
the Radical party of this State, that
they would make every effort to secure
a fair administration of the Registra-
tion act this fall. The parties who
made the assurance have the power of
carrying it out; for this act is only part
of their party plan of organization
a mere piece of partisan machinery.
Merely to illustrate the Radical idea OF
fairness" we publish the following
sample. A gentleman writing on busi-
ness from Moorefeld, Hardy county,
says:
"The Board of Registration held o
meeting here on Saturday for the pur.
pose of organizing, and have selected
the most out of the way and inaccess-
ible places in the county for the places
where the Registrars will be found to
register the voters. The Registrar iR
this township has fixed upon his own
house, which is at least twenty miles
from here. Some of our men will have
to ride at least thirty-fve miles to get
to him."
That's the fair thing-from Radical
standpoint.
