The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1871-06-06
Drifting Toward Empire.

a The passage of the Ku-KIux bill by o
Radical Congress, and the proclamation
of the President for its enforcement, has
not only startled some of ,he ablest
men and journals in the Republican par
ty, but it has attracted the serious atten-
ton of our Canadian neighbors.
This is not to be wondered at. They
consider that they enjoy the blessings
of Constitution and the privilege of
the habeas corpus. With such strides
towards despotism as are being made
by Radical government, they lose all
desire to become part of the United
States They have more freedom under
the British flag. Here is what the Mon.
treal News says Oh the subject:
'The British Government must ap-
preciate more highly the value Of Gen
eral Grants very extraordinary Ku-Klux
proclamation than the citizens of the
United States 1t effectually extinguish-
es in British North America any desire
which portion of the inhabitants avow-
ed to join the Union. 1t is death blow
to annexation. No Canadian, however
poorly provided with brains, would
dream of abandoning this land, where
freedom exists, where the course of JUS
tice holds its way, for a country now
under the iron heel of an ambitious and
little scrupulous General. We can see
in President Grants eager desire to ac-
complish settlement of the Alabama
controversy, even at the sacrifice of Mr..
Sumner, and an abatement of the AFRO.
CANT and offensive language which char
acterize6 his address, evidence that he
dreaded foreign complications while car
rying his despotic and centralizing pol
icy into execution. He needed peace
abroad to carry on war at home against
the Constitution" ...,
This is fair opinion. 1t shows how
Grants administration has brought dis
grace upon a free country. The people
must overthrow the usurpers, or they
will wake too late, when their liberties
are swept away. The back track CAN
not be taken too soon.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1871-06-06
"COrnering.o

The operation Of ''cornering," az the
term is, is played by brokers in the fol-
lowing manner: Four, five, six, or ten
(as the case may be) brokers enter into
an arrangement with each other to buy
and get control of the entire stock of
some company. They commence by
depressing the stock as much as posi-
bic. To do this, they must all appear
to be sellers, and cry down the price,
representing it to be worthless and them
selves heartily sick of everything per-
tanning to it. While they are publicly
selling lots of one Or, two hundred
shares, their agents or tools are buying
all that they can get hold of. As soon
as they can buy all the cash stock they
find in this way, they turn suddenly
around and begin to buy on time. Par
ties mot in the secret, of course, are
willing to sell on thirty, sixty or ninety
days-sven though they do not possess
the stock-thinking that before the ex-
piration of that time they would be able
to buy it at less price than they sell it
at. In this way thousands of shares are
sold, to be delivered at future day, to
the very men who own every share of
the stock that has ever been issued =
When the time arrives for delivery the
sellers discover that there is no stock to
be had but of the men to whom they
had sold it. Of course they must pay
whatever the owners choose to demand
If the game is we'll played, the corner
ers will make as much in selling as they
did in buying in. Should every one of
the party prove true to his comrades,
they will soon manage to get rid of the
whole stock to outsiders at high price.
1t will be readily seen that this is very
dangerous game unless we'll played; for
should any of the parties interested
"let fly without letting the others know
it, the game is up, and although he may
make fortune, It will be at the sacri-
flee Of all the others.

why an Editor Retired.

It will be remembered a change was
effected a short time ago in the editorial
of the Ohio Journal, under
which Mr. j. Q. Howard retired from
the concern. The secret history of this
transaction has just leaked out, and it
is proper that l recite it here, in brief,
as it has political significance.
1t was known at Washington, that the
controlling interest in the establishment
is in the hands of Dr. S. NJ. Smith and
General J, NJ. Comfy, his son-in-law,
who is the Columbus Postmaster and it
was observed in Administration circles
at the national capital, that many of the
editorials in the Journal had running
through thema spirit of independence
altogether inconsistent with the suppo-
sition they were written Or supervised
by federal office holder. This natu-
rally led to inquiry. BY the way, it is
asserted that Mr.. B. r. Cowan, who has
just been appointed and confirmed AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior under
Delano, first called attention to the
course of the Journal, suggested the
inquiry, and furnished the information
which it called for. 1t was soon ascer-
tanned that the writer of the ohjectiona-
BILE utterances was Mr.. Howard, who
was longer in Office, but who was one OF
the editors of the Journal. The Post
master editor was thereon informed that
''Mr. Howard must be toned down OIL
retired, else the post, Office would have
to be surrendered The latter propo
sition could not be entertained for one
moment, rs it had cost extraordinary
effort to secure Comly's appointment
and the office is fat one. 1t became
necessary to look after Mr. Howard, land
as he wouldn't stone" worth cent, ht
was retired Since his retirement the
Journal has displayed all the serviency
demanded by President Grant and thu
instruments that are engineering thu
San Domingo job, and his political in
terests, with view to securing his re
nomination.

sources Of Population.

rs The New York Commercial Adcerti-
ser, having been delving among the re-
turns OF the late census. gives us some
interesting facts as to the sources whence
the territories draw their population. 1t
says, that, taking Nebraska as an illus
tration,it appears that the West has coll
tributed most largely to the building up
OF that State-natives Of Ohio number
ing 10,709. Of Illinois 9,63S, of Indiana
5000, of Iowa Z 900; ten Western States
having sent, in all, more than 10000 of
their people to settle in Nebraska. All
the Southern States contributed less than
10000. The New England States have
sent less than 5000. But New York and
Pennsylvania count quite largely among
the "feeders' of the new State, natives
OF New York being reported at 9,24l,
and of Pennsylvania at 6,964, making a
total from these two States of 16 200 -
The total population of Nebraska is 123
093. OF this number one third are i'm
migrants from the Western States. Ol
all the present residents, only 1925 are
natives of. Nebraska, or about one sixth
Every State in the Union has contribu.
ted to make up the population, and out
of this composite aggregate a new and
8ourisSing Commonwealth has been
born. The new State of West Virginia
counts a total population Of 4O6 .95l, hut
of this number no less than 364 ,So3 were
born in Virginia or West Virginia. Ohio
has contributed 10000, Pennsylvania
$1,000, New York 1859, and there has
been large immigration from Mary,
land, amounting to 7,lOO. 1t is all III
teresting point in the statistics of tho
foreign element that the numbers of the
German and Irish in West Virginia are
nearly egual--Germahs 223, Irish g.,
s32- and 2,457 natives of England ant
Scotland.
