Who Owns the Niger.

We notice in a good many of oul
Republican exchanges, a disposition to
chucl;le over the new acquisition OF
the negro vote, as well as a disposition
to appropriate him, body, brooches
andboots, to the Republican party
To this We have no sort of objections
The sooner they swallow him the bet
ter"
But we do object to the manner in
which they propose to elevate him
above poor white men. Senator
Morton, better known as "Moxa
Morton" introduced a bill in the
United States Senate to enforce the
Infamous Fifteenth Amendment, in
which the superiority of the negro is
glaringIy and impudentiy insisted
on.
BY the terms of that bill, it is
made an %o.fense, punishable by fine
and-imprisonment, for any white man
to c;Fl in question the right of a mig
ger to vote, and when voting, to at
tempt to induce him to vote any tick
ct except the one prepared by his alb
clifton friends
Upon the approach of Sambo to
the polls, it will be required, that eve
~ poor white man shall take off his
] 1t and stand aside. and let his fat
footed, thickskulled fellow citizen,
pass in first, and deposit his ballot.
It is:also merely possible that a car-
riage and an out rider will be provi
del 10 escort him to the polls!
To this pass have we come at last,
war Democrats, and white men Is
there anything more needed to excite
disgust and shame ? How long will
our PEOPLE endure it? This is a gov
crnment o! white men. Nc aborigin-
al race can stand before the Caucas-

Retasnchnant.

During the campaign of last year
Gov. Hayes, published an address tc
the people of Ohio, in which he com
mented, in severe terms, upon the As
sumed profigacy and extravaganza Of
the two preceding years of rule, under
the Democracy, and asserted that il
the Abolition party could be restored
to power in Ohio, taxation would al
once tumble down to a moderate rate,
and the. State would be restored to
prosperity.
The fact was, that if the Legisla-
ture had followed the recommends
tons OF Governor Hayes, our taxes
would have been increased nearly two
millions but the fierce denunciations,
aud bold declarations of Governor
Hayes, had their effect upon the peo-
pie, and the Abolition party carried
the Legislature by a small majority.
Let Us now inquire how these prom
ises have been carried out? The
Legislature met "A Republican speak
er was elected-the House was organ
lied to suit tile majority. The work
ofrcersnchmeHt, so vehemently urged.
was begun. The session has now
closed. and the taxes of the people
have been increased over six hundred
thousand. dollars This is the re-
~tTeuchment of Hayes, and his party !!
The funkTes- who stole their way
INTO the Legislature, with few excep-
tions, from Cincinnati, turned out fit
representatives of deception, perfdy'
and extravaganza. The most corrupt
and proiigate measures originated
from that delegation, and the hopes of
retrenehment, that impelled that peo-
pie to elect a reform ticket, so-ealled,
have been sadly dissipated.
Let, the Abolition leaders, hereaf-
ter, Sink into retirement, for they
have shown that no reliance can be
placed upon their promises and pledg-
es. They are tax eaters-spend-
thrifts, and should be so regardsd in
the future. 80 i.;

assure them, that there are many in

any to modest them or make them

on the North Carolina border, where
extreme radicals, viewing frem a
distance, indulge in visions of Ku-
KIux-Klans, and Yankees hanging t.

What Georgia Thinks of Recon

That the readers of the States and

lowing article from the La Grange
Georgia. Reporter of a latedate.
The State of Georgia has given the
Radical party a great deal of trouble
and yexation of spirit. They do not
seem to know what to do with the old
State. Her Democratic tendencies
are too strong to be welded at will
by the party in power, and hence they
do not wish to take Georgia in the
Union so thoroughly Democratic as she
is; and hence the meanest and most
vindfctive measures are resorted to
keep her out as long as possible. With
hired pimps and ick-spittles, carpet
baggers and 'hatives to the manor
born,n scattered over the State to get
up outrages manufactured to order and
for the purpose, Georgia is represent.

John Glessner, youngest son OF the
editor of the Shield e. Banner, was
severely injured on last -aturday, neal
Lexington. In company with Jerry
Bnrns, son of Col. Burns, he was on
his way to fish in the creek below Lex
ington, when the horse they were
driving became frightened at some
tpigs, and running away threw them
both out of the buggy, breaking one
OF Johns legs in two places beiow1he

One of the most horrible and heart
rendering events that has ever hap
pened in this county, occurred on last
Friday in Goshen township, about
four miles from kenton.: 1t was the
explosion of a saw-mHl, belonging to
MI James Bunce, killing Mr. Bunce
Instantly, and 50 terribly scalding and
wounding Mrs. Bunce, who happened
TO be in tue. mill at the time, that she
died after tw%enty-four hours of the
most painful suffering. Mr.. Starring,
who was working for Mr.. Bunce, and
was within a. few feet Of MIN when the
fatal explosion took place, was slight
iy wounded, but terribly frightened.
The circumstances under which this
shocking catastrophe occurred, are la
mentable, indeed, and entirely the
fault of Mr.. 3 himself. He was Il
very industrious and economical man,
and was running a saw=mill, with as
little expense as possible, and making
all he could out Of it. Alas! for him
self and his family, he vas too much

an accident in setting: a log on to. the

which is about 100 miles west of Nor
folk.
Now it is not our intention to write
up The City" but only.to give rea1
information to those of your readers
who desire It, thinking thus not. only
to promote the interest of my adopted
State. but also to do a favor to those
seeking homes.
Many are rushing blindly to the west
because others have gone there, and
because it has been the-habits ofatheir
fathers to do so without stopping to
inquire whether there be any other
country more desirable. They seem
to forget that the West has become an
asylum for the surplus of Ireland,
Germany, Norway. &c, and that the
further they go West the less the
they can expect to get for the products
OF the soil. OF course a sudden in
crease Of population may for a time,
from scarcity, cause a high price, but
the general rule is tina the price of al
most all kinds of grain diminishes as
you go West.
Now our country offers to those de
sirous of farms, land at low figures,

long for you, columns, and knowing
the dislike of editors to long commu

time to speak more definitely of soil,

INDIAN TROUBLES.
1t is learned frem Unofficial source
that some of the statements sem
thence about the indian troubles m the
Northwest exaggerated. In the first
place, there is no official information
at hand that there are twenty thou.
sand Sioux on the war path. The
agent of the tribe denies thai story
! quite emphatically. Neither is it true
that General Sherman leaves next
week with two of the officers of his
staff to make supplemental or tempori
airy treaties, as is stated, with the In
dian tribes that are threatening a war.
One of the very reasons why one of
these tribes is making preparations to
go on the war path is the neglect of
the Government to fulfil its stipula-
ton, through the failure of Congress
to make a necessary appropriation.
In the face of this, it is not very like
ly that the Government would send
ont a Commissioner to make a treaty
with that tribe at least.
NEW FINANCIAL MEASURE.
One step forward was taken by the
Committee on Banking and Currency
today on the financial question by a
vote to report a bill to the House pro
viding for the issue of 500, 900, 000 Of
additional bank notes and tor the re-
demption OF $40, 100000 Of the three
per cent. III ertificates which are now
held by the banks as their lawful re
serve. The remaining fifty millions
of bank notes are to take the place of
an equal amount of l~egal-tenders, thus
showing that the bill does moth effect
increase the actual volume of currency,
though a different constructor is plac-
ed on it by members OF the House.
some declare that it is an imitation,
while others maintain that it is an ac-
tual contraction; but whether a CON
traction or infation, the amount either
way does not appear to exceed ten
millions of dollars.
The: bill, Z besides other important
features, provides for a bond bearing
four and a half per cent interest, which.
the new banks are required to pay for
in gold or its equivalent. The bill
will probably be brought into the
House on Tuesday next' BY that
time the new funding bill will Ggtre-
ported from the Ways and Means
Committee, and thust The newest phase
of the financial situation will be before
the House and the country.
LAND GRAZ SCHEMES.
There was an interesting and spirit
ed struggle in the House today on the
much-mooted question of the land
grab railroad schemes, which resulted
in the triumph of the latter by Il ma
jority of less than twenty votes. Par
ties were divided, though most of the
Eastern Democrats and Republicans
voted against the land grab. The bill
under consideration was from the Sen
ate, and proposed to give the usual
land subsidy to a railroad located
from Portland to Astoria, in Oregon.
