White Supremacy.

Ever since the formation of the Re
/. publican party, the energies of its
leaders have been cNerted, first, Tor
forcibIe emancipation, and then the
enfranchisement of the negro rec.
BY fraud, force and perjury, they
have succeeded so far as to declare the
negroe free, and now insist that the
Fifteenth Amendment is Il finality!
That infamy was forced through the
Southern legislatures by packing them
with negroes and carpct-baggers and
scalawags, by DISTINGUISHING white men
and driving them from the polls by
the bayonet!
The usurpations of Napoleon in 1852
were more than rivaled by the army
Satraps sent South by Grant AMI his
cabinet. Why has this taken place?
1t is done by Grant and his tools to
overthrow white supremacy in the
South, and elevate the negro as the
ruling class Hereafter, if the merci-
nary thieves, robbers, and usurpers at
Washington, a have their way, the
white populations in the South will
be compelled to submit to negro rule,
negro insolcnce, and negro b~arbarity.
We are led to these reflections by n
bill recently introduced into the Uni
ted States Senate, by Charles Sumner,
the Boston maniac, which we consid-
er the browning infamy of the Radi-
cal party.
That bill provides the appropriate
legislation, which We anticipated TO
enforce the Fifteenth Amendment.
Itprovides that negroes shall meet and
mingle with white persons, at hotels,
T. railroad cars, churches, and all other
places of resort, upon terms of perfect
equality, and provides severe penal
ties for refusing to mingle with negroes
everywhere.
The only thing now needed to round
the matter up properly is, that Chas.
Sumner shall marry a thick Tipped,
luscious, highly perfumed wcnch in
lieu of the white woman he recently
expelled from his roof, if Inc can find
one base enough to cohabit with such
a wretch.
Great is Sumner-great is the Alb
clifton party.

SLAVE TRADE.-The Calcutta Eaglishman
says that strange news comes from Mozam-
bique. A commander of one OF her Majesty's
ships is said to be doing some slave trading
on his own account. 1t was reported to The
Governor that some natives were missing af-
ter the vessel had visited Mozambique, and as
suspicion had been previously excited, a watch
was kept. The Captain declared that there
were no blackmcn on board, but shortly al.
terward two natives jumped overheard, aud
made for the ship of Portuguese Commo-
dore. Seve.al more natives followed, and
and made for the boat which the Commodore
put of. The British vessel then proceeded TO
sea. A Portuguese man-of-war brought the
news to the Cape, but it requires confirma-
tion, as no mention is made of the name of
the vessel or the Captain.

cadets seems to be very general and of long
standing, many members who cannot be ac,
cused OF bribery certifying that the young
man they may have appointed resides In their
district when he may in fact, belong in auoth-

nived at by high naval and military officers, az

when the crash came. In an instant the
notes OF mirth and frolic were turned TO cries
of anguish and lamentaiion. But Aggy pev-

BY her side lay several OF The horribly -man-
gled dead. Fortunately no pant of the wreck
had struck her deadly blow. Bruised she

OF one OF the companions with whom she bad
been in gay converse minute before, ana
there it was he'd in a vice-like grasp by a
timber OF the lower end oil the passenger car.
Otherwise she was free. Calling for help, she
stated her situation, and gave directions for
own relief. For an hour she lay there in the
midst OF the carnival OF death, exhibiting
patience and courage that were heroic. At
last the timber was sawn asunder, ber hand
was released and she was carried away, pit.
