replied "Why, I don't like to say any

Negro Republication.

The progress of liberal IDEAS has
reached Liberia. The COlOred keepers
of the destinics of that model Republic
have heard of 'the brotherhood Of man"
aud have begun to accept the doctrine
of the equality of the races, just as the
negro lovers of this country accept II.
That is, they give the negro all the po-
Iitical houOrS and diSfranchi.e the whit :
man. This is the accepted mode Of ap-
plying the ''equ ality" idea in this coun-
try, and the Congress of Liberia some
time ago adopted the application. They
disfranchised every white man within
the limits of the second best free negro
Republic the SUI ever shone on. Our
"loyal" friends who contemplate remov-
ing to Liberia in order to enjoy the full
benefit of unadultcrated negroism
would do well to remember that their
white skins will be an etfectual bar to
political preferment and the right of
suffrage. This for the present, at lea t.
In the meantime it must be admitted
that the case is not altogether hopeless.
The negroes of the United States have
appealed to the negroes of the African
Republic to abolish these odiOus dis
tinctions on account of race or color.
The American darkies, initiating Sum
SER, have concluded that they have a
mission, which is to elevate the down
tredden of every race but their own.
Their National Executive Committee
has memorialized the Liberian Republic
on this question Of equal rights for
equal races. They want their negro
self governors to wipe out all dis
examinations that staEd in the way Of
freedom. Their address thus concludes
Brethren, we beSeech you to throw
open your doors and thus teach the
heatheu that Republicanism and Chris
tianity are afraid of nothing but doing
injustice; show the wbiie race that,
though you may have deemed it neces-
sary 10 meet oppression with its own
weapons, we are now willing to meet
freedom on its own terms and let ths
world see that as race we know both
how to win a battle aud to uss the vic.
tory for the advancement Of human
rights and for the glory of God.
Let the loyal heather of the United
States take courage. They are to be
taught the meaning of Republicanism
and Christianity. Liberiau negroes are
to be their teachers. 4 sad deficiency
in their education isto be supplied, Let
them be prepared to be duly grateful
and TO extend proper welcome to the
colored missionaries that have been
promised them.

THE MAIDEN RIOT.
Another Statement OF tho Case.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, at Ruff.
name OF Fewel, and negro, got into a
dispute over some matter, ending in q
fight, IN which neither was seriously
injured. Warrants were issued for their
arrest. and the time Of trial fixed for
last Saturday morning. AT the appoint
ed tiIae both parties, backed by a squad
of their witnesses and friends, appeared
at she Magistrates Office for trial.
While wa ting there one of the negroes
was advised by a white man, whose
name we cannot learn, to make him
self scarce, or he would get into trouble"
The black man Immediately went back
to the furnaces, raised crowd of ne.
groes, who armed themselves and went
back 10 the trial.
The report baving been circulated
that the negroes were on their way to
Maiden, armed, and threatening the
lives of all who opposed them, anumber
of the white men congregated about the
'Squire's office, started down the road,
and met the negroes at Georges Creek
just at the lower edge of the town. As
soon as the negroes saw them, they
pulled out their revolveTs and fired a
volley at them, wounding Jonn Sneed
in the wrist and William Flowers in the
thigh. The hites then charged" upon
the negroes with stones and fists, and
in a short time had cleared the field.
General Lewis Ruffner, on whose place
the first difficulty occurred. was stand
ing in the Magistrste's office, and as
soon as he knew there was fight in
progress, ran ont to quiet it. While in
the midst of the melee, using his best
endeavors to this end, he was bit in the
back of the head with boulder, and
knocked senseless. He was taken home,
and up to Sunday morning bis physi-
clans had no hope of his recovery, but
at this writing, TUESDAY afternoon)
although not out OF danger, his symp
toms are considered more favorable. II
is not known who threw the stone that
bit him. some couteudiug that it was a
white man, and others that it was O
black.
None of the negroes were seriously
Injured, although quite a number OF
them went off the field very badly
whipped and bruised up.

Charcoal for Horses Wind.

"Many years ago, I recollect," says a
correspondent of a London paper, "a
horse bring brought into The yard OF
Joseph Bignsl, celebrated man for
keeping hunters at Croy den. The horse
was very much affected in the wind, and
could hardly move from distress. In a
very few days this animal did its regu'
lar work as hunter, with perfect ease
aud comfort to itself. Tar water was
the cure. Tar is carbon, and charcoal
is also carbon; charcoal in the powder
is more easily given than tar water.

and l think it stands TO reason that the
removal of noxious gases and fatuence
from the stomach of the horse must i'm
prove his wind and condition. Tar is
frequently given with benefit in cases OF
chronic disease of the respiratory Or
gans; but its effects are totally different
from those produced by charcoal Gear

The Income Tax.

The New York Times, a mild Radical
organ, whichis said to interpret the
Presidents Olympian mods for the in
formation of the great snwashed, takes
strong ground against the repeal of the
law creating the income tax. The Times
say Grant is pledged to the continuance
of II, and then proceeds to give its rea-
sons why itshould be. One of the Times
arguments is that we are all too flush of
funds, and that little hard times, NOR.
ally and financially, would do us all
good. This is rich, coming upon the
desolation of the war. Hard times may
be needed in New York to check the
Wall.street swindles, the custom-bouse
frauds, the pernicious examples of the
Beechers, and the extravaganza and
aping of aristocracy by the shoddies;
but away out here, far from the iguoble
strife of the pandemonium of specula
tion and licentiousness, hard times are
not needed to purify the moral and
financial atmosphere.

Harrison, to do anything for themselves.
You do Us injustice. We did not know
that McGinniss was candidate, as he
was only brought out few days before
the election, and the man who was sent
from Lewisburg to apprise Us Of the
fact, did not do his duty-and as gen.
tleman in Lewisburg, who had hereto
fore been known as prominent Demo.
crate wrote to McBarlow Uiberal CAN
didate for the House,) that Humphreys
was running on the "let up" platform,
he received the entire Democratic, Con-
servative and Republican vote. Some
tickets were sent here from Lewlsburg
with the names of James Scott for the
Senate and Charles Morrison for the
House on them, and as it was known
that Morrison was the extreme Radical
candidste, it strengthened the belief
that Humphreys was the Liberal candi-
date, as bis name was on Barlows
ticket. The reason that Humphrey s
received such a large vote in this coun-
ty, was because it was belived that he
was the Liberal candidate, so you can
see the spirit of the voters OF this
county is Conservative although only
about one fifth of the voting population
is registered.
We can scarcely realize that the days
of our oppression are about over. 1t
seems too good to be true, but hope 1t
is so. You, who can see comparatively
nothing of the working of this internal
prescription, can have no idea what we
have suffered. 1t you come out on
visit to this section next summer, extend
your visit to Pocahontas. / will be
glad to have you pay me visit and
then can show You some of the prac-
tical workings of Radicalism.

A"LoynIn Libel suit.

QUAY. OF the Beaver Radical, has sued
the Pittsburgh Commercial for libel. The
Commercial has been making a cheap
reputation for independence by attack
ing sundry "rings" which control the
Republican party in Pennsylvania, aud
at the same time supporting the Repub-
lican tickets in that State. QUAY was
one of the corruptionists at whom the
Commercial leveled its batteries, al
though it designated him by circum-
stantial description rather than by
name. This 1oyap victim had
the Commercial men hauled up
before Pittsburgh Alderman
last Friday. The examination continued
over Saturday and will probably be con-
cldded this afCernoon. The Commercials
counsel put number of awkward
questions to QUAY, relative to certain
transactions in Harrisburg, corrupt
Senatorial elections and the like, all in
ter ded to show that the prosecutor had
made his money by selling his vote and
influence as legislator. All of these
questions QUAY's counsel objected to
and tho objections were sustained, on
the ground that they were irrelevant,
th- Commercial folks not admitting that
QUAY was the man to whom they referred
in the alleged libellous article. 1t was
agreed however that if the Commercial
people would admit QCAY to be the
man at whom they were driving,
he would answer their ques
tions fully and fairly. This admis-
sion they refused to make, and their in
teresting questions were ruled out.
So far QUAY has the best of the case
He may be rotten as carriOn, but he has
shown disposition to face the music,
provided the Commercial would do the
same. This the managers of that paper
decline. They shirk their responsibility.

Lie, Horse. HIVE Their Natural Gait.

1t is bad policy to move team out of
it. natural gait, especially with load.
1t is far better to put on a full load, and
even a little more, and give the horses
their own time for moving il TO it's
place of destination, than to make two
loads of it and hurry them. There is q
certain degree of rapidity of action Pc
culiar to the muse es of each class of
animals, and indeed to each individual
animal, and if they are pressed beyond
this fatigue follows quickly, while
within this limit great endurance is
witnessed.
To test this, let a man attempt to
move his arms as rapidly as bird does
its wings, or his legs in walking as
rapidly as a little boy, and see how
greatly he will become exhausted. This
will convince him of the folly of at
tempting TO make his heavy draft
horses move with the rapidity of the
pony or fast trotter. The law of nature
is that heavy bodies move more slowly.

Fat HOGS.

All accounts continue to show a short
supply. Usually at this time, when the
weather is first cold enough to kill,priccs
fall off; but this is not the case this year,
while there are indications that prices
are more likely to 60 up than down. The
Buffalo Express says the markets are
nearly bare of pork-the stock being
less than one.fourth of the usual supply
at this season for the last ten years,
while all packed thus far has gone into
immediate consumption. The amount
of barreled pork in New-York, on De.
cembor 1st of each year named, was; in
1865, 43,331 bbls.; in 1866, 55,023; in
1867, a., ,44O; in 1868, 17,SS6 and in 1869
only 55l9 bbls.

TENNESSEE elected her Constitutional
Convention last Saturday. An ex-

ing that there are seventy thousand
people in the State who were last sum-
mer relieved of their unjust disfran-

that they did not turn cut, if only for
the sake of exercising their new found
privileges. Their indifference merely
illustrates that peculiar phase of human
