School District Clubs.

In each School District in
each Township in Vinton conn.
ty there should be an organi
zation or School District Club.
Every voter in the district
should be enrolled in the Club,
and should attend each meeting
Of the Club. The meetings
should be held once or twice a
week as the circumstances will
permit. And at the meetings,
if there is no speaker to address
them, some one may read from
the newspapers, or from docu'
ments, which can be obtained
by application to the Demo
cratic Central COMMITTEE. AS
fast as organizations are per,

African Immigration.

So completely (says the Mt.
Vernon Banner, have Wen
dell Phillips and Sumner got
control of the republican or
ganization, that by the action
of the late Congress, they have
declared in favor of encouraging
the importation of negroes di.
rect from Africa in order tc
make citizens. We do moi
charge that this is the wish Of
the majority Of the Republi-
cans-indeed, we belive it i;
not, but their leaders seem tc
think they have the right tc
lead them as by rings in the
nose. The 7th section of thu
act to amend the late session O.
Congress, reads thus:
Sec. 7. And be it further
enacted, That the naturaliza
ton laws are hereby extended
to aliens of African ativity
and to persons of African de-
scent. Approved, July IA

How the Funding Bill De-
frauds the PeODIe,

The Funding bill passed by
the Republicans at the last
session of Congress swindles
the people in three ways:
1. 1t defrauds them of the
right to tax the bonds Of the
Federal Government.
2. 1t defrauds them of the
right to redeem the bonds at
their option, and thus put a
stop to their drawing interest.
3. 1t defrauds them Of the
right to pay the bonds in green
backs, or in gold at fifty cents
on the dollar.
This last item makes on the
100000, 900, of bonds fun
ded by the bill, q difference Of
$75O,000 900, out of which the
people are swindlsd, and will
have to fork over to the boud-
holders,

VOTE IN VINT0N COUNTY
In 1867.

In 1867-three years ago
the people of Vinton county
voted against giving the negro
the right to vote, sit on juries'
negro children to attend white
schools with white children, etc,
and every township in the coun.
ty, excepting Swan, gave a ma.
jority against negro suffrage
Congress then forced African
suffrage upon the people. Last
April the niggers voted in al
most every township in the
State. In Elk Township four
niggers voted-three BARRIERS
and an impudent cook. Now,
we know that a great majority
of those who vote the Repub-
lican ticket in Elk, as well as
in all the other townships in
this county, are not only op-
posed to niggers voting and
sitting on juries but voted
against it only three years ago;
and we wish to ask all these
Republicans how they can go
to the polls on Tuesday, Octo'
ber IL, and vote with these
niggers, after having voted
against giving them the right
to vote? Do the honest white
men of the Republican party
think that this country cannot
be governed without the as.
sistance of the nigger? You
improved the country, built the
houses, churches, school houses
ETC., and now do you propose to
sit quietly down and allow the
.lawless niggers to come in and
crowd you out of house and
home ? Do you want to 60 to
the polls and vote with the ne
gro and sit on the jury with

What a commentary upon
the vanity of earthly glory, is
that afforded by the downfall
of Louis Napoleon. Yester-
day,a king of of the greatest
nations of the earth, with hun
dreds of thousands to do his
hiding; to-day a captive, con.
signed to a fortress as his future
home by the command of a
king whom he so lately defied.
His case has a parallel in that
of his uncle, who, from being
the arbiter of Europe fell to
the condition of a slave. How
transitory and aeeting are all
human aspirations.

not the laborer. The former
is enabled to charge as much as
he chooses, and the laboring
man is compelled to accept
such wages as the manufacturer

every thing as dear as possible,

From Pillar To Post.

The New York Evening
Post, a sound Republican pa
per, urges its readers to vote
for all good Republicans who
pledge themselves to work for
tariff reform in the direction OF
Free-Trade, and to vote for no
candidate that will not give
that pledge. Rather than per-
petuate the wicked injustice
and ruinous absurdities of a
Protectionist tariff, rather than
do that by voting for a Re
publican Protectionst, better
vote even for a Democrat, SC
long as he is a Free-Trader.-
That's the doctrine of the Post
Whereupon the New York
