Dishonest Radicalism.

There is no doubt that the
carpet-baggers and scalawags
of the South are pure and una.
dulterated patriots. For in
stance, the Superintendent Of
the public schools Of Charles
ton, South Carolina, stole the
annual appropriation Of three
hundred thousand dollars, and
the schools had to be closed on
account of there being no mon
ey to pay the salary of the
teachers. He would make an
excellent witness to go before
the Ku.Klux Committee. The
lie that he wouldn't swear to
would not be worth telling.

Swindling fn Mail Com
trnnfo.

cAoS SOs
Reform is loudly called for
in letting of Mail Contracts, as
the following Washington spe-
cial of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
dated the 10Th ult., clearly
shows:
"The postal bids are still
matters Of grave discussion
here, and it is now openly
charged that an organized con.
spiracy exists between the fs.
vored contracts and the De,
partment to prevent all honest
competition and to retain the
contractors in the present
hands for o division of the
Spoils. Mr.. Creswell's com-
plant that straw bids have de-
ceiyed him is all a sham, be-
cause before his advent into the
Department straw bids were
almost wholly unknown. Now
system has been established
by which the whole mail SER
vice Of the country, other than
rallload, is concentrated i'm the
hands Of less than a dozen men.
The mode Of securing tbis i'm
mense and valuable monopoly
could not possibly Succeed bus
for the aid Of the Postmaster.
General, He changed the
practice which existed for over
a third Of a century, and under
which the vast machinery Of
the Postol1ice was moved with
integrity and regularity, and
the result of this change is to
award the contracts to the
highest bidders instead Of the
lowest, by which the Govern
ment is plundered to the ex-
tent of millions every year.

From the Gallipolis Journal, Aug. 1O.l 4
GallipOlis, Macarthur a1Ett
Columbus Railroad.

From the Gallipolls JOurnhl, Aug. lO.I .
Macarthur afEtt
Columbus Railroad.
On Monday night the Hon
II. S. Blndy addressed our cit,
liens, at the Court House, upon
our Railroad, giving in part, a
statement Of the action Of the
Directors at its meeting on Sab
urday, the progress now made
and the prospects Of the future.
The main matter Of considera-
ton by the Board Of Directors
was the adoption of II set Of
bylaws, for their government,
and the passage of a resolution,
in substance, that they would
not begin work until they had
money enough. by, subscription
to grade the road, and that
which could be borrowed, or
obtained on domestic bonds,
and those bonds, or the sum so
borrowed, to run in time not
less than five years.
Mr.. Bundy stated the sum
needed to be raised could not
now be told, as the engineers
had not yet completed their
estimates, nor could they tell
what route would be selected.
Three different lines have been
surveyed, and the idea is to
get the shortest, cheapest, and
that which will create the
greatest amount Of business.
The engineers have been
faithfully at work, but their
labors being SO great in making
everything complete, the de.
lay in presenting reports has
been necessary, therefore ii
cannot be told what can be
done until the Directors know
what the Road will cost, and
how much money can be raised
What is proposed to must be
done cautiously. He thought
the money could be raised, and
the Directors are saDguine OF
it, that the road ought to, and
can, be built. He gave good
arguments why this should bt
done, and not built and con
trolled by outside parties.-
When it is fully demonstrated
that aid from other compauie'
must be sought or have NJ
road, it will then be time TO
the Directors to take tha
question into consideration
1t is the purpose to make
thorough canvass Of Gallii
Jackson, Vinton and Hockin.
counties along the lines fo
subscriptions.
When work is commenced o
the Road it is to put throug
entire without delay of an
portion of it. The none
raised between Gallipolis an
Macarthur station, is to be ap
piled on that part of the roaC
and that raised between Nc
Arthur station and Logan t
be used there.
This is about all the informG
: ton he was able to give, for
was about all that had bee
done OF taken into considers
tion as yet.
Mr.. Bundy gave a statemer
Of the qualities of iron or
: coal, &c, along the propose
p. road, and the prospect of I'll
, development Of the country
the increased wealth arisin
from it, and the great bencf
. to be derived to the who
, people, His statements an
arguments were quite satisfa
, tory to his hearers.

Sound Views.

The Peoples Defender, pub
lished at West Union, and ed
tied 10y that uncompromising
Democrat, ]. w. Eylar, on the
18th inst. gave publicity to the
following sound views in regard
to dissensions among Demo-
Gratis
''It is not in human nature
always to have things just as
we desire them. 1t is not in
the power Of a single individual,
no matter how superior he may
be to all his fellows, in all that
constitutes human perfect ibili-
ty, to regulate matters in the
political, social, or moral world,
exactly according to his own
conceptions Of what is right.
While such diversity of mind,
tastes and characters exist
among men, no single one can
have his own way; nor is it
right he should. The true phil.
osophy of life is to make the
best of what we cannot change
or improve. In political or
ganlzations, if we cannot carry
out our own views, or have
our own choice, in regard to
policy or candidates, the obvi-
GUS duty of the individual is
either to yield to the majority
OF cease his relations with it.
In some parts Of the State
we hear of existing feuds, grow
ing out of alledged dissatisfac
ton with the regular nominees
We have no sort Of respect fol
an individual who refuses tc
abide by the decisions of the
party because he failed to Sc.
cure his choice. Such mer
usually justify themselves by
alleging fraud in the nomina
tions, or some other equally
frivolous pretext. 1t frequently
occurs that the disaffected par
ty wanted the Office himself, OF
before the nomination permit
ted himself to become so enlis
ted in behalf Of another aspir
, ant as to be unable to see any
f merit in the one selected, anC
instead of abiding by the off
cially declared will Of the pal
ty they set about to sow th'
seeds Of discord.
This is no time for dissen
sions among Democrats. TIL,
country is ruled by despoti
= usurpers, and the liberty es
tablished by our fathers i
found no where in the land
The time is thought to be nea
, when our lost liberties may b.
p reclaimed, and the despoiler
, driven forever from power. /
will require the consolidated
strength Of every Democrat il
the land to achieve this happ,
result. The Democrat VIII,
would throw a pebble in til,
way Of such triumph is rec
reant to his high trusts and de
serves to be punished. Every
!, Democrat in the land, in a cri
sis like the present, should sinl
his animosities, yield his indi
vidual preferences, and con
form to the ways of the party
by sustaining its nominees
Let us have harmony every
where in our organization anc
victory is insured"
