WOrkingmen, Read

The Chinese laborerS are
coming East in great crowds.
We expect, before many years
roll around, to see them work
ing in our iron mills and coal
mines. They are now making
shoes in Massachusetts and
picking cotton in Georgia.
Honton Register.
We trust that every laboring
man throughout the Iron re-
gion will read the above and
ponder it well. The Register
is one Of the organs Of the iron
manufacturers of Lawrence
county. 1t favors a protective
tariff, and claims to favor it in
order to "protect American
labor Yet here we have it
complacently informing the la
borers at the furnaces, and in
the mines, that it "eXpects be,
fore many years" to see their
places filed by the low-priced,
rat,eating Pagans from China.
1t enters no protest against the
idea, but gives it the sanction
Of silence. Its claim that it is
in favor of protecting Ameri,
can labor is false. 1t wishes
to protect capital, and is willing
to drive out the white laborers
now employed at our furnaces,
and give their situations to
Coolies, who can work for fifty
cents a day. Let laboring men
remember this when such pa
pers talk about ''protecting"

BundY VS.. Wilson.

The contest in the Republi.
can ranks for the Congressional
nomination in this District, is
being waged with an earnest
ness that will undoubtedly de-
velop considerable bad feeling.
The fight now seems narrowed
down, to Wilson and Bundy,
and their paltizans are indus
triously at work. The Radical
press Of the District seem al
most united on Bundy. Viii
son has not an outspoken-organ
in the six counties. We were
Of the opinion that the Honor
able John, through the aid Of
the federal officials throughout
the District would be able to
secure denomination. But the
"outs' exhibit more strength,
and at this time the indications
point TO the nomination Of Mr..
Bundy. Jackson and Vinton
counties will 60 solid for him,
and he will perhaps lead in
Lawrence and Gallia. Scioto
will be divided. There is some
opposition to Wilson in Adams,
but he will perhaps be able to
manipulate matters in such a
way as to secure united del
egation from that county. Both
gentlemen have been in the
city this week adjusting the
wires.-[Portsmouth Times.
Bundy was here last Monday,
looking after the tariff and the
prospects Of q nomination.
Wilson has up to this date failed
to put in an appearance. We
look for him, however, although
he has been cast aside by the
carpet-bag editor Of the Record.
1t is Bundy against Wilson !.
We hope the people will, on
the second of next October,
see that an honest Democrat is
elected to succeed Wilson.

The Next CONGRESS-,

Never in the history Of the
country writes the Washington
correspondent Of the Boston
Post, has Congress separated
with so little credit to itself or
with SO little work completed.
The result Of nearly an eight.
months session is a patched up
fragment of q tariff bill; a
funding bill, that won't run of
its own strength an imperfect
currency measure; an enforce
ment bill, to meet party purpo-
ses in the South, odious in its
features a new naturalization
law, sintended to flighten
naturalized citizens and OBJ
struct freedom of elections ; the
continuance of an inquisitorial
income tax; tardy law to
halfway admit Georgia; the
assumption of a police court
jurisdiction by an outrageous
invasion of the personal liber-
ties Of a citizen, and his arrest
and incarceration without the
semblance oflaw. These, and
much crude and corrupt legis-
lation Of minor character, are
the work of this Congress. The
list Of measures they failed to
perfect forms an arraignment
of this Radical body which can
be used with telling effect
against its representatives in
the fall elections. This is con-
ceded by the rejecting mem
bers Of the party, and they do
not Hesitate to admit that the
result OF these elections will be
to send to the Forty.second
Congress at least one hundred
Democratic or Conservative
members. The Democrats be-
lieve they will have a majority
in the House q.

Salt.

One Of our exchanges says
"the tax on salt is ten cents per
buShel." This conveys a very
imperfect idea of the tariff
robbery perpctrated on our
people by the monopolists Of
this article, We repeat the
Special Commissioners figures,
made after minute and careful
inquiry, to,wit that the cost
of manufacturing n bushel Of
salt OH the Ohio and Hooking
rivers is 22.95-say % cents
per bushel, while the selling
price in Cincinnati is IS cents
per bushel. A profit of 100
per centum, which the monop-
olist is enabled to make because
a prohibitory tariff keeps for
eign salt out Of the market
But for the tariff salt could be
bought at from is cents to 25
cents per bushel,
/. John T. Wilson voted a con-
tinuance Of the Tariff, knowing
that it literally robbed his con-
stituents, to give the enormous
profit of one hundred per cent
um to the manufacturers. What.
shall be done with this perid-
ious representative ? &C.,

A Mean MOngrel Dodge.

Alta recent election for Town
Commissioners in Chestertown,
Maryland, the negroes carried
the day by one of the meanest
species Of fraud that the eff
teenth Amendment" has yet
produced. According to the
charter of the town, all voters
at a town election are required
to be freeholders. Out of the
one hundred and fifty darkeys
who desired to march to the
polls not more than two or
three could point to a foot of
land they possessed, But this
being the first election at which
the negroes were to vote in
Kent county, the emergency
required that they should de-
post their ballots, right or
wrong. Hence the fraud we
refer to. 1t happened that
there was one negro in Ches-
tertown who owned q small
and worthless patch of land adj
jacent to the river. This he
divided into lots of one foot
and made deeds of it
to his fellow negro would be
voters. As a consequence, one
hundred and fifty negroes, rep
resenting just one hundred and
fifty feet Of land, went to the
polls and claimed and secured
votes as freeholders and elect
ed their ticket. The whole
thing was engendered by Mon
grel politicians. Naturally
enough, the bona fide freehold
ers of Kent county are highly
indignant at the outrage; but
there appears to be no help for
them, and they are obliged to
look forward to the day when
a "white man will be as good
as a niger in reality.

Radical INTOLERANCE.

An independent political
movement is in progress in
some parts of Indiana, partici-
pated in by men of both parties.
At the Convention that nomi-
mated q ticket in this interest
at indianapolis, last week,
speeches were made by ex'Sen.
ator Hendricks, Democrat, and
Major J. w. Gordon, Republi-
can. The object of the meet,
ing was to rout the Radical
colruptionists in power at the
capital ofsIndiana. This is an
extract from the speech Of Ma
ior Gordon
"God knows | shall hate to give
up the dear old Republican party,
for il has more nearly embodied my
political IDEAS and hopes than any
othcr party ever did. l have loved
it with all my heart, and served it
with all my strength, IF called up
on l am sure | would have been
willing to die for its success. But
that was in the day Of its humility,
when struggling up the hard ascent
to power. 1t succeeded. 1t came
into power, and then came rebellion
and war. | returned homo after an
absence of three years in tho army,
to find it changed, 1t had become
fairly intolerant of any dissent from
it's decisions. 1t had declared the
Administration tho Government,
and the President the Administra.
ton. Men who had in the war lost
all they had at tho commencement
of the war, except q life rendered
worthless by their losses, were no
longer permitted to question his de-
cisions. Public opinion was either
enslavcd or dead. Believing that
such n state of things, if not slavery
itself, was the secret preparation for
slavery, [ raised my voice against
it. | denounced its intolerance; it's
declaration of martial laws when
there was no occasion for it its
putting a gag in the mouths of free
men, and attempting thereby to put
down all free discussion. | spoke
against all these then, l speak
against them now, Cheers No
what it cost me to do so, |
did it in faith, nothing doubling
that when tho storm and tempest
had passed over my feeble words
would be heard. X x * | have
that l will not hcreaf-
ter commit myself by taking part in
any primary elections Chcers or
party conventions to any party or
candidate; but standing aloof, wait
until I see the drifts Of parties or
men, and then Sgivo those Of best
promise for the country my support,
L shall thus keep myself free to act
with or against any other party if
the Republican party does not re-
turn to its first love and do its first
works again. 1t must reform or it
must go out"
This is the spirit that isman-
ifesting itself within the Re-
publican party in almo-t every
important locality in the North
ern States. The corruption,
intolerance, and fanaticism of
the Radical Congressional par,
ty is driving from its ranks the
very men whose support has
heretofore given it a moral
weight constituting its main
element of success. From all
parts Of the country we hear
the same story Of political dis.
content. The President and |
Congress both get more Of ad-
verse criticism than they do Of
from their own polit-
ical friends, while the ranks Of
the open and declared opposi-
ton are daily charging by
honorable recruits.
