Organization of tee Legds-
I0tu9fe.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has
received many letters in regard
to the organization Of the next
Legislature. We have little
doubt that the Democrats and
Hamilton County Reformers,
who, together, have .ffty-nine
members in the House out Of
one hunered and eleven, and
twenty Senators out Of thirty
seven, will control the orgaiza.
ton of the Assembly. These
fifty nine and twenty were
elected by the votes and the ef-
forts Of the Democratic party
against the most strenuous ex-
ertions of the Republican party.
1t is therefore natural and prop.
er that Democrats and Reform
ers who coalesced at the polls
should act as q unit in the
election of Legislative officers.
If there any points Of diver.
gence hereafter-and we hope
there will be none-honor and
good faith demand that they
should not be in the or ganiza-
ization. Such we have good
reason to believe is the view
entertained by the friends of
the Reform movement and by
their Representatives in the
General Assembly. Any other
union would be a most corrupt
and incestuous one. There
were no members elected to
the Legislature who were more
bitterly denounced and abused
by the Republican party than
the Hamilton County Reform
ers. That they will use their
influence and make a division
of the officers with those who
voted against rather than for
those who voted for them, can
not for moment be doubted.
An important question may
come up in the beginning Of
the session, before organization;
We allude to q possible at

publicans, to swear in an extra
and bogus member from vii.

ment-and whose only pretense
of election is an outside opinion,

resentative. The Democrats
and County Reformers, and all
honest Republicans-if, by
chance, any of the latter per-
suasion have found their way

the same determination which
was evinced by the Democrats

1t is not often that q Radi-

thieves, robbers, OF plunderers
in that party. But in the Gin
cinnati Chronicle, Of Nov. II,
we read that General B. f. But
ler has been sued by Rowena
Florence, niece of the late Gen
eral Twiggs, and an order of
arrest issued by Judge Jones,
of New York, to recover arti-
cles Of silver ware, and the
three gold hilted jeweled
swords, presented Sto General
Twiggs by the United States
Government and the States of
Georgia and Texas, for meritc-

during the Mexican war;
These swords, valued at $780,

ated to his own use by Gener-
al Butler, while he commanded
in New Orleans, in the spring
of 1868. She says that the
swords were family beirlooms,
not used, or designed to be
used in any military enterprise
whatever, but had been given
her by Gen. Twiggs,

premises. Some Republican,
supposed to be a nonresident
of the county, and a seeker for
some district Office, and who
wanted the dirty thing to be
kept alive to advocate his elec.
ton, came to the conclusion
shortly after the election, or af-
ter the contested election cases
were decided, in 1868, that the
donkey could't bray much more
in this locality unless he could
be supplied with a good quan.
tity as well as good quality of
grain. And he was immedia,
tely appointed to eat five dol.
lars worth oil OF the people
each day. Look at him now!
He is abusing every Democrat
ic official in the county; sneers
at the above law, and says that
it was passed by a 'detunct
Legislature;' and is trying to
do what the Almighty did not
in His goodness see proper to
do, viz: whitewash Job Lucas.
He has called MS all kind OF
names, made the basest OF
threats against us, and declared
that the negro voter is only a
shade darker than the editor
of the Enquirer, and more hon
est. And why does he thus
SANDER those who differ with
him? Simply because Job
Lucas, who lis not a white
male citizen of the United
States" violated the law by "vo
ting at an election held under
the laws of this State" at a
quarter past six o'clock at
night, and deserves punish
ment, as we'll as the person
who advised him to vote, and
the judges Of the election who
received or sanctioned his vote,

AT THE
OLD CORNER STORE!"

An exchange says there are
a million Of negroes in the
States of Mississippi and LOU
isiana, and yet the planters are
unable to get their work done
at the proper time. This is
owing to the decentralization of
field hands by carpet baggers
and scalawags. They are per-
suaded from their work to at.
tend political gatherings, be
lazy, and then push off in the
direction of cities. Before the
war there were not more than
twelve thousand negroes in
n ew Oorleans-now there are
seventy-tlve or a hundred thou
sand; and yet labor is as high
now as it ever was-higher than
it is elsewhere in the United
States, and good servants are
more difficnlt to Obtain than
than they ever were. There is
a corresponding increase and
like results in all the towns
and villages in the State. This
accounts for the want of fixed
hands, and at the same time il
lustrates the evil policy of the
Radical party in inducing the
negroes to abandon their work
and lead a life Of idleness, and
in too many cases, crime.

The INriT Question:

We are glad to see the tariff
question assuming such rapid
proportions. The tariff of this
country are the most outrageous
under the sum- and it is time
for the people to wake up and
see to what straights the Aboli-
tion tariff of to day has brough t
them. In order that they may
comprehend the matter as it
stands, we will give a few az
ticles of daily consumption as
specimens:
WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WAS
IN POWER
10 pounds Of coffee cost S1,00
10 pounds Of sugar cost 80
10 yards of muslin cost 65
Total, S2,45
UNDER ABOLITION TARIFFS
10 pounds Of sugar cost $500
pounds of coffee cost $50
10 yards Of muslin cost 200
Total, $3.50
Making a difference in the
cost, now and then, Of five dol
lars and five cents. The differ
ence in the cost is the tariff on
the article, as it takes no more
labor to procure them now
than then. 1t will take but a
slight amount Of study to place
this matter before the people,
who are consuming, pay all this
tax, or robbery. A protective
tariff is a swindle and a Radi-
cal scheme Of plumber, while
a Revenue tariff is the proper
tariff and that urged by the
Democrats.
