If have not written sooner, it is owing to the
fact that wished to take particular pains in as
certaining the power Of your apparatus and the
quality ofyour gas. am now prepared to state that
after fifteen days Of constant operation, there can
be no doubt to the superiority of both the ap-
paratus and the quality Of the light.
I have kept sixty burners lighted in my residence,
and at the same time over forty more burners were
in full operation in my sugsr-house, both of which
buildings are more than five hundred feet distant
from the small construction containing the carbu.
rettor Notwithstanding the great distance the reg
larity and force of the light were good if there
had been only two lights burning.
Allow me to tender you, and the inventors who
form the company my sincere thanks.

for our principal illustration. In Caddo
parish, which the Democrats thought to
carry, and would have carried if the Gov
ernor had not satisfied the people that he
intended to see fair election, Grant re-
aceived vote, and Seymour 1896 in 1868,
while in 1870 Graham and Dubuclet re-
ceived 1919, and Blair and Jumel 1914.
In Morehouse parish, Grant received 1
vote and Seymour 1925, while Graham
got SIG, or majority of all the votes
cast. In Bienville, where Grant only re-
ceived l vote against Seymour's 1885,
Graham received SO and Blair only polled
754, showing that while the Republicans
gained in actual strength the Demo-
Gratis lost fearfully because the opposition
to Republicanism had been greatly neu-
tralized. In Claiborne parish, in 1868.
the Democrats polled 1852 votes and the
Republicans 2. In 1870 the Democrats
only polled 14o7, while the Republicans
came out r523 strong In De Soto Grant
polled no votes, while Seymour tailed
1860. In 1870 Graham TALES 1882 while
Blair recedes to 713. In Assumption
Grants vote was 1887, and Seymour 1875.
Grahams vote is 1928, while Blair falls be-
hind Seymour to 1880.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1870-09-03
A ColOred I,emosrheues.

Henry Boyd, colored man of Mississippi. has
been called the "Black Demosthenes." In u
speech delivered at Carrollton, in that state, he
uttered the following Philippe:
And now the carpet-baggers come here and
tell US they are our friends and the Southern
people our enemies. They tell us they set u-
free. Oh, yes, they've done it all, no doubt
They set us free about like they set the mules
free; Ben Butler set the spoons free. Immense
laughter and applause. They done it all to
help the Yankee and lnjur the Southern man.
They can't fool the Niger of this country. Ia
the first place the Northern men brought us
here, and when they began to lose money on
the Niger they put the Niger in their pocket
sold him down South, and then, to keep the
South in the Union, to make em pay taxes, they
turn round and set the niger and the mules
and spoons free; and would not have set any
thing free, excepting the spoons" if they could
have got the South back into the Union with.
out it.
They promised him the ''iorty acres and tie
mule" know five niggers that starved plum to
death waiting for that mule and that forty acres.
Laughter. Id like to know where the carpet
Dagger got his forty acres! You all know the
devil took the lord up into high mountain
and promised him if he would fall down and
serve him he'd give him the whole world, and
the old scoundrel knew all the time he didn't
own q foot of land on the continent TGreat
laughter
The csrpet.baggers asks me to cast my vote to
keep the white folks down. Now, all ever
wanted was to get on level with the white
man. never wanted to get above him. They
say niger is better than q white man in
Cincinnati. Well, that may be true in Cincin-
natl, but it amt true down here 1t is my in.
terest to stand by the Southern man, and it's my
wish too. Whatever law Is made to affect the
white mans plantation also affects nv little cot.
ton patch in the same way.
The three cent tax on cotton hurts me worse
than it does the white man. But it puts money
in the Yankees pocket.
They wan: to disfranchise the white man,
and make the niger put them into office, that
they may have taxes and things their own way
They never would have passed law allowing
niggers to vote if they hadn't thought the nlg-
gers would vote the Republican ticket Never
never! never Who believes otherwise? Not
this niger, certain. The Yankee brought the
Niger here from Africa for selfish purposes, set
him free for selfish purposes. and now they want
to vote him for selfish purposes.
