Therefore a vote could not be talk

HEAVY DEFALCATIoN.

The news from New York City is
that the Government Collector OF
New York City is a defaulter to the
Government of the United States,
to more than 100000, and that he
is missing We take the following
extracts from kilograms to the AS
sociated Press in relation to the de.
faulter, and the defalcation:
DISAPPEARANCE OF ooLLEoT'R BAILEY
The report of the disappearance
Of Collector Bailey, of New York,
created some excitement in Treas
ury circles. Acting Commissioner
Douglass at once telegraphed to
Supervisor butcher to take charge
Of the office, and Second Deputy
Parnell was sent to New York last
night. Reports are expected from
these officers by to-morrow's mail
Commissioner Delano, who has
been absent from Washington for
some time, was telegraphed for
and arrived last night, He is now
engaged with secretary Boutwell,
concerning the matter. Bailey's
district will be at once turned over
to Collector Pleasanton, of the
Fourth District,
Special dispatch to the Gin, Gazette.
New York, March 20.
No trace has been found of tho
Collector Bailey. Mas.
sau, Mexico and Europe are men
toned as his probable resort, and |
some of his friends think he has
committed suicide. His wife says
he gave her no intimation that he
was going away, and she was first
informed Of his absence by one Of
his deputies. His defalcations now
exceed 100000, but IL
Is not thought he took much money
"
with him. He expended money
literally to secure the conviction
of Fullerton and Cook, and this de-
feat left him in Strengthened circum.

WAR 5BALLooNs.-The battle in the air,
which was reported the other day by
both English and Belgian newspapers,
seemed almost too incredible for belief.
yet as IL has not been contradicted,
there is probably truth in it. From
present appearances it seems likely that
such conflicts may become common
affairs. The numerous mrial attempts
and adventures of both French and
Prusssians in the existing war bid fair to
add materially to the stock of useful
knowledge on such subjects. and to lead
to more general use of balloons for
military purposes hereafter; and the
greater the number of be]ljgerent bal
looms the greater the probability of their
collision. A vastly increased use of bal
looms during future wars appears, in fact,
to be seriously contemplated by the
English Government, which has recently
been carrying on quite an extensive
series OF aeronautic experiments at
Woolwioh.

suggestiSns. which to naa p being
suited bsour pEasent. .S6ntlitio1.
:Whsssver good thy efforts Of shesRe-
form party may hsvs accomplished, it is
evident that IL has filed It's mission, and,
as party, is de!anos. This. being ad.
mitted. the question arises, what kind of
political organization shall the white
population now form out. of the present
confusion? We have made fair and
honorable oveftures to the blacks to
join hands and work harmopiously
together, but they are not yet sufficiently
enlightened to appreciate the oumpro
mise, and will, beyond doubt, con-
TIME to array themselves, as in the past,
against the mass of the whites, as against
their natural enemies.
This course does not surprise mo in
the least. Sharp, shrewd and unscru-
pulous white men are ever ready to take
the uttermost advantage of their igno-
rant prejudices, and turn them to the ad-
vancement Of their own base purposes.
This, then, is natural; for We should re-
member how, even with ourselves, a
mere party name, without the least un-
derstanding of its principles, often ex-
cites the warmest partisan feeling. Now,
sir, what is to be done? Allow me most
earnestly to recommend the following,
which I think grows out of our present
urgent wants:
I propose that in every County town
we have organized O club, political and
social, under the name of Sons Of the
South, and that these clubs be branches
of central organization in Columbia,
each County club having authority to
establish such branch divisions as may
be called for in their respective Counties.
In the second place, let these clubs ap-
point delegates to convention in CO.
lumbia, and there elect an executive
committee. This committee to have
control of the entire organization in its
own State. and to be the medium of
communication with similar organiza-
tions in other States. Every club to
receive members by majority of bal
lots, and no negro to be admitted on any
terms.
This programme will give us an
organized balance Of po10e,, and will make
itself felt socially as we'll as politically.
by Its lnstrumentallty we can act as O
unit with Democrats, conservative Re-
publicans or radicals. provided they make
ii to our interest 80 to do. By it we can
have unity and concert of action in vot-
ing, in projecting our social status, and, if
necessary, in defending ourselUes from
ciolence.
Such society need not, and, in fact,
should not, be secret in its character;
but would have the right to transact
business with closed doors, whenever q
majority of it's members chose to make
its proceedings secret.
If, after due consideration. you should
agree with me as to the Importance and
propriety Of this measure, then allow
me to request that you put the ball in
motion, by organizing q central club in
Columbia. FAIRFIELD.
