MARSHAl!nG THEIR BLACK BAT
TALl0NS.

We have additional evidence that
the negro vote il the salvation of the
Republican party. That vote was
not needed by the victors in this
State this year; but il the victors this
year are not the vanquished next
year, the black man will be the cause.
However, in more than one-half the
States the black Republicans have
saved their white brethren this Sum
mer and Fall from utter rout. and in
one-third of the States, as is well
known, the blacks made up the bulk
Of the Radical organization. In four
States-South Carolina, Louisiana,
Florida and Mississippi-tbey out
humber the whites. The dominant
party is now, more than ever, a negro
organization. The black man(against
whom We bear no malice, and whose
rights we recognize, be it remember
ed), is the life, The support, the hope,
JOY and pride Of that party.
The contest last month in Texas
was battle between the whites and
blacks. The white population there
is 5Gi ,0C0 and the black 2j3, ,0O0.--
The ratio of votes among the whites
and negroes are about the same. The
Germans, like all other white men,
voted the Democratic ticket at the
recent election. That it was case
Of white against black is shown By
the large Democratic majority Of 40
900. Probably not one hundred re-
spectacle white men voted the negro
ticket.
II how appears that the great State
of Pennsylvania is kept under the
black flag by the black man. That
State gave Radical majority of a.
900 Oh the I0:h ultimo-an increase
of L., 600 on Geary's vote. OF course
there has been much Radical exulta-
ton aud some Democl attic despon-
dency. But it is not surprising. nor
Is it fatal to our cause in that Com.
monwea!th. While the Radical ma.
jori;y was IA goo, the negro vote was
26 600. But for their black recruit
the Radicals would have been scat
tered like chaff before the hurricane.
In spite of anti-Orange riots, Euro
pean wars, Tammany frauds, and
other drawbacks. the gallant Denloc-
racy of the Keystone State would
have rolled up a majority of ttcelre
thousand for their ticket last month
but for the greatest of Radical god
sends, the everlasting nigger. The
State Of Pennsylvania is more firmly
joined to her idols now than ever.
The Democrats have heavy raajori-
~ to overcome there at the Presiden-
tial election next year. 1t will be
known by the time the National Con-
yeution assemblies, if it is essential 10
success to secure the electoral vote
of Pennsylvania. If the Convention
looks to Pennsylvania as the battle
ground they will nominate for Prcsi-
dent the only man who will stand the
ghost of show to carry that State.
Everybody knows who that man is.

In recent issue OF Wood1tuU and
Ciatin'S Weekly, edited by females,
We find the following choice send-
ments on the subject of Chastity"
Chastity is not virtue. It is
rather crime against nature
feeling lifcs fame with self-subs: autial fue!.
Making a famine whers abundance lies.
1t Is peevish, proud, and made of self
love, the most inhibited sin in tho
canon. 1t is either want of capacity
or opportunity, want of a heart CT q
bigoted prejudice; or else a mero
sham or pretense, cover for the
grossest crimes against the body"
Can language go further? What
journal in the United States or any
where published by the sterner sex
would venture upon such line of Gar
gument 2" And these women
Woodruff and CIafin-are the recog-
nized leaders of the Woman's Suf-
frage and Woman's Rights Associa-
tions, ana their sentiments are re-
echoed by thousands of mistaken
women all over the land. The Bos-
ton Eceniay Gazette, after reading
the passage We have copied, uses the
following forcible language:
Here we have the whole thing in a
nutshell. Let US have no more ridic-
ulous prejudices against the indiscrim-
mate commerce OF the sexes. Put an
end to those mere shams and preten-
ses that have deceived the world un-
til now under the insidious names of
rnodesty and virtue. To the winds
with chastity, since il is crime born
of selt-loye. No more crimes against
nature. We have lived under mis-
taken notions regarding virtue long
enough. Cats, dogs and beasts of eT-
cry degree are not so trammeled. Let
Us break the shackles that have so
long bound US, and rise to the proud
freedom of brute"

A CAT.ASTROPHE.

The captain of one of the largest
,teamboats running on the Potomac
was astonished one day lately, as his
boat touched the landing ut one OF
the riverside watering places not a
great distance from Washington, to
see all the guests assembled with
their baggage ready t take passage
for the city. In making inquiries as
to the cause of this generaI exodus.
he soon discovered that therby hung
tale. A cats. It appears the fare
at the hotel had disagreed with the
boarders, and not satisfied with COM
planning, they took French leave.
A batch of dough had been prepared
for the oven and placed on a table.
A playful kitten thought it would be
nice to run over it. 1t looked SO
snowy, warm, and tempting. Kitty
tried it aud soon found her delicate
little feet sinking in the dough. She
struggled to e 'cape, and like Cover
ncr Morton in ths stolen treaty bust
ass. only struggled to sink deeper,
until this youthful cat disappeared
entirely, aud SO lie young Lochin-
var went into the yeast. She never
rose again, but the bread did. 1t

of course was not aware that insteal |
of loaf of bread she had kitten

oven and baked it. When the bread
was opened at breakfast next morn
ing the birds did not begin to sing
but the boarders did. They fairly
howled with wrath. They knew tha.
there had been family of kittens,
aud as hash had been served for
breakfast before this extraordinary
loaf was opened. the conclusion was
natural that the other part of the
family had gone into the hash and
down their throats. They We're first

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: 'sOn
Wednesday afternoon, two Sisters OF
Charity. who had been In charge of
the one hundred orphans which ar
rived from Chicago in the morning,
accompanied by two prominent citi-
zens, called upon Mayor Davis, to OBJ
tain passes for the Sisters to return
to the city of Chicago. The Mayor
hesitated for considerable time in
granting their request; but, being
urged by the gentlemen accompany
ing the Sisters, he finally concluded
to issue passes for their return. But
to show the spirit animating our wor-
thy Mayor, it is only necessary to
give the reading of the pass, as fol-
lows: Pass these two Catholics to
Chicago Being thus insulted, the
Sisters and their escorts retired
The pass was shown at the Archbish-
ops residence, when the aforesaid
document was placed in an envelope
and politely returned to Mayor

MIxED.-A jolly young fellow
named Corcoran, who, when last
heard of, was in the post of librarian
of the Chicago Historical Society,
when he arrived in this country some
years since, propounded a puzzle to a
gruff' old clerk in the New York Hall,
which is believed to have shortened
that officials days. Corcoran went
up to the Office OF the Clerk of the
Circuit Court, to apply for his "frst
paper" The deputy, who took charge
of that business, and had got it down
so fine that he could grind out natu-
ralized citizens by the dozen with his
eyes shut, was a serious old chap,
whose custom it was whenever any,
body's shadow fell across his desk, to,
sieze blank form without ever looks
ing up, proceed to put the prescribed
formal interrogatories. So he did
with Corcoran.
whats your name?" he demanded.
"John Corcoran."
"Your age?"
"Twenty- lone"
"What nativity"
"Well; that's what bothers me; Fll
tell you, and maybe you can make it
out. My father was Irish, my mother
was English, and l was born on board
of a Dutch brig, under the French
flag, in Flemish waters. Now how is
it?"
The old clerk looked up aghast,
showed his spectacles on his brow, and
slowly made answer:
"Young man. your nativity and that
of our Savior are the only ones which
ever puzzled me-"

I was once Walking ashort distance
behind very handsomely dressed
young girl, and thinking as I looked
at her beautiful clothes. 81 wonder
if she takes half as much pains with
her heart as she does with her body?'
A poor old man was coming up the
walk with loaded wheelbarrow, and
just before he reached US, he made
two attempts to go into yard of a
small house, but the gate was heavy
and would swing back before he could
get through. .Wait, said the
young girl springing lightly forward. /.
"Ill hold the gate Open" And she
held the gate until he passed in. and
received his thanks with pleasant
smile as she went on. s'She de-

Death of OrsOn Hemphill.


Death of OrsOn Hemphill.
We are panied to announce
the death of ORsoN HEMP
HILL, who had been in the
employ Of the Marietta & Gin
cinnati Railroad Co., at Ham
den, in this county, as Agent
and Telegraph Operator, for
about ten years. He died on
Friday night, the 2Sth ult., af-
ter a very brief illness. He
was a very worthy young man,
and leaves an affectionate wife
and many relatives and friends
to lament his early demise. His
gentlemanly and social quail
ties won him the love and es.
TEEN of all who became ac-
quainted with him or had bu.
siness with him. Not a word
was ever spoken against him,
as from. earliest childhood he
was truthful, noble and kind,
and always cheerful and faith
full to every trust. Thus rude
ly snatched away in life's spring
time, he will long be missed
and mourned by many. The
Masonic Fraternity, with their
usually solemn ceremonies, in.
tered his remains on Saturday
afternoon, in the graveyard
south of that town.
