vote. The State Of North Carolina was
one Of the FIST Of The Confederate States
re admitted 10 the Union under the
double traitor, Holden, and her history
has been one continued scene of disor-
der, violence, corruption and official vii
lainy, until now her treasury is on the
verge of bankruptcy, and a portion of her
territory under martial law. Florida,
under the rule of corrupt carpet-bag
Governor, an equally corrupt mongrel
Legislature, and an infamous ring of
spectators, is in a worse condition than
North Carolina, being poor and less able
to stand the drafts of the plunderers upon
her substance. Tennessee was put through
on this ''fast line," and SO utterly was

that she has been unable to pay the inter-
est on her debt for whole year. To
show how reckless the Radicals were with
the money belonging to this State, it is
only necessary to state that in the four
years they had control of affairs, they
collected more money from the people
| in the shape of taxes, than had
been collected from them in ten years
previous to til war, and in this statemen
is not included the large amount that was
annually paid to eleemosynary gentle
men who were pensioned upon the
various counties in the State, for whom
offices had been created with large sala-
ries. If a correct statement of the money
collected as taxes and paid directly to
Radical officials by tie people as salaries,
could be procured for the time the Radi-
Gals had control of the State government,
it would be found to equal if it did not
exceed amount they had to pay for
similar purposes during the twenty years
preceding the war. That is what Radical
rule meant in Tennessee. 1t means. the
same in Louisiana and South Carolina. In
the former State immense sums have been
squandered and stolen, and in the latter
the expenses of the State have been in
creased four-fold. Where $150,0O0 was
sufficient to meet the expenses of the
State three years ago, more than $780,
900 is now drained from the pockets of
the people. Where is this corruption and
extravaganza to stop9

= :, JUDGE LLA's STATEMENT.

The telegraphic report, rs printed in
the Herald, of that portion of Judge
LEAFS examination referring to the colored
people of Tennessee, is, we are informed,
entirely erroneous. He did not say that
most of the crimes committed here were
'perpetrated by negroes in the guise of
the Ku-Klux.n The statement was gen
eral, that every crime committed by men
in mask, whether they were white or col
ored, was always charged to the Ku-Klux.
He stated to the Committee that the col
ored people of Tennessee, in the main,
were orderly and well-behaved-h i'm
proved in general intelligence and morali-
ity-and that there were fewer idle, I'M
employed colored men, even in our towns
and villages, now, than at any other time
since their emancipation. He further
said, our experience had demonstrated that
the two races could get along peaceably to-
gether, and we could have quiet and con-
tent, if freed from the intermeddling of
pestiferous men, who cared for the wei
fare of neither race.

This shows a frightful decrease Of the
negroes by death, amounting TO nearly
one hundred per cent greater than that OF
the whites, in population less than the
latter by nearly three thousand.
The Columbia Guardian, in an article
on "The Negro in South Carolina," dates
the beginning of his history in that State
in 1871, being 1919 years ago. In 1877,
South Carolina closed the slave trade by
legislation, twenty years previous to any
direct measure against the slave trade by
either Great Britain or the United States.
In 1860 the two races stood-colored,
4l2, white, 291, 3SS. In 1869 the
two races stood-colored, $50, 1879; white,
274, 962. The writer very reasonably at
tributes the decrease in the white race TO
the war, and supposes the colored race by
deaths since the war, growing out of the
want of proper food, clothing and medical
attendance, TO be unusually large If this
supposition be true, and the registry of
deaths in Charleston corroborates it, the
negro race is rapidly dying out s-

MASSACHUSETTS seems TO be enamored
with the Indiana free and easy way of
obtaining divorces. A law has just
passed the House of Representatives of
the latter State which provides that di-
vorce may be granted upon the petition
of husband or wife, when they have lived
apart for five years consecutively prior to
fling the libel; or upon desertion for
three years, for cruelty or neglect to sup
port and for three years separation of
parties previously divorced from. bed
and board under the law. In all
cases of divorce from matrimony, arts
ing under this act, where q deed
or written agreement of separation
exists, the Court shall give effect to the
same if made in contemplation of a di-
vorce from the bonds of matrimony, and
in all such cases the Court shall make
such DEGREES respecting alimony and al
lowances as, having regard to the circum-
stances of the parties, shall appear just
and reasonable. The most important
feature is, that it proposes to allow either
of the divorced parties TO marry again, as
if the other were dead. One of the
model Legislators said this was ''step to-
wards an improvement of public NOR
ais" and a clergyman of the Beecher-
rockingham stamp endorsed the whole
plan. Who says Massachusetts is not
improving under the teachings of Sumner,
Butler and Crock of Ages Wilson?

UNIVERSAL AMNESTY,

The Cincinnati Gazette, Radical, says
eve think that it is the general convic-
ton of the Republican party that the time
has come for Congress to remove all po-
litical disabilities imposed by the four
teenth amendment; and, in fact, that the
Acknowledgement did not work to the in
terest of the States nor to the restoration
of loyalty in the people. We think that
neither the continuance of disfranchise-
ment directly, nor in an indirect way, by
arbitrarily prolonging the terms of the
State officers, is desired by the mass OF
the Republican party" The black man
now has all the political rights which the
Constitution can bestow upon him. All
that the Southern white man asks is an
equal chance.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested in
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. If
the appetite has failed, it is .quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet it becomes easy and thorough; if
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; if the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to flight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the extraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
STA, biliousness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are COM
bined the elements of a stomachic, an
invigorant a mild laxative, nervine and
an anti-bilious specific, reign in their
stead. Sold by all Druggists.
