corrupt poor, ignorant, and starving colored

corrupt poor, ignorant, and starving oolored
men.
During the last days before the election
their agents were all over the city with wagons
trying to hire the poor men to ride out of the
city, in order to keep them away from the
polls and all along the banks of the Potomac,
with one or two exceptions, the colored fisher
men, whose homes were in Washington, were
prevented by force and threats from coming up
to register or vote, and believe If we had been
able to get all the legal and qualified Republ-
can voters to the polls the majority for General
Chapman would have reached fully 5000. Yet
with all these facts staring them in the face
these old Bourbons-who never learn anything,
not even when Republican victories secure to
them the retention of the capital and largely
increase the value of their property-stili cry
fraud and assail in the most brutal and per-
sonal manner those who have been instrumeu-
tai in achieving this great result.
But, my friends, now that the election Is
over. and we have won the fight, | am willing
TO be forgiven, and go along in good Old
fashioned, neighborly way, and l advise my
colored friends not to prosecute these poor
Democrats that is, provided the Democrats
will cease prosecuting them. For instance, we
shall expect to see all mechanical associations
which proscribe colored men disbanded at once
or if this victory means anything it means JUS
tice and fair share of the labor and of the
offices to the colored men and here predict
that the man or set of men who refuse to res
pect the popular WILL as expressed by over
four thousand majority at the late election In
this behalf will 60 down to everlasting oblivion.
And, my friends, there is one other thing that
is settled, and that is, that the President has
been sustained in the latter half of his admins
tration by those before whom he has gone in
and out in his daily walk, and believe that
new era is dawIing upon the councils OF the
nation. and that all apparent differences in the
Republican ranks will disappear forever. The
recent straightforward proclamation of the
President assuring longing hearts all over our
land that the whole power of the nation will be
used by the Executive for the protection OF
American citizens at home, as we'll "a abroad,
gives us tonight renewed encouragement and
revives our hopes that the midnight raids OF
the Ku-Klux will soon be brought to whole
some end

Proclamation by the President.

The act Of Congress. entitled "Au act to en-.
| force the provisions OF the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United States.
| and for other purposes" approved April %
A. ID. 1871, being law Of extraordinary pub.
| Inc importance, ! consider il my duty to issue
this my proclamation calling the attention of
the people Of the United States thereto en-
joining upon all good citizens aud especially
upon all public officers 10 be Jealous in the
endorsements thereof, and warning all persons to
ABSTAIN from committing any Of the acts there
ny prohibited
This law of Congress applies 10 all parts of
the United States, and will be enforced every.
where, To the extent of the powers vested in the
Executive. Bat inasmuch as the necessity
therefor is welknown 10 have been caused
chiefly oy persistent violations of the rights of
citizens of the United States by combinations
OF lawless and disatfected persons in certain
localities lately tho theater of insurrection and
military conflict, do particularly exhort the
people of those parts of the country to suppress
all such combinations by their own voluntary
enorts through the agency Of local laws, and to
maintain the rights of all citizens of the United
States, and TO secure TO all such citizens the
equal protection of the laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed
upon the Executive by the act of Congress 10
which public attention is now called, aud re-
luctant TO call into exercise any Of the extra
ordinary powers thereby conferred upon me.
except In cases of imperative necessity, do.
nevertheless, deem it my duty to make known
that Will not hesitate to exhaust the powers
mus vested IN the Executive whenever and
Wherever 1t shall become necessary to do so for
the purpose OF securing to all citizens of the
United States the peaceful enjoyment of the /
rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution
and laws
1t is my earnest wish that peace and cheer
iul obedience to law may prevail throughout /
the land, and that all traces of our late un- |
happy civil strife may be speedily removed. |
These ends can be easily reached by acqui
essence in the results Of the conflict. now
written IN our Constitution, and by the due and |
proper enforcement Of equal, just, and impair
tial laws In every part of our country.
The failure of local communities to furnish |
such means for the attainment of results so
earnestly desired imposes upon the National /
Government the duty of putting forth all its |
energies for the protection of it's citizens of |
every race and color, and for the restoration |
of peace and order throughout the entire
country.

day of May, in the year of our Lord |

JeT. Davis MississIppi Estates Owned n
One OF HIS Former slaves.

A letter to the Chicago Tribune describes a
Wis to the plantations formerly owned by him.
The writer says:
1--WE left al night on the r. f. Lee, one of
our finest steamers. and landed at the Hurricane
plantation about daylight the next morning.
This plantation, and another known as Briar-
field, were occupied before the war by Joseph
K. Davis and his brother, President Davis.
They were sold Co a favOrite freedman, Ben.
Montgomery, for $500, 900, payable at the end
of ten years, list of January, 1861 interest at
six per cent, payable annually. Ben, who is
very black, but thoroughly educated before the
war, met US and gave US a breakfast, waiting
on the table himself, bat not offering to take a
seat. After breakfast we had a carriage and
rode over the magnificent estate, the extent of
which you can form some idea when | tell you
that Ben. Montgomery made last year $500
bales of cotton and large quantity Of corn.
We dined at Briarfeld, the former residence of
Jefferson Davis, and low occupied as a resi-
dence by the aforesaid Ben, and you will not
he surprised to learn that the former slaves of
Mr.. Davis greeted him with all the warmth OF
affection that they were capable of expressing
Mr.. Davis met them cordially, and encouraged
them by many kind words. After dinner, at
which our wealthy host again waited on us in
elegant style, we passed on to a very large and
valuable plantation which has been purchased
by Ben. Montgomery and added to the Davis
estate, and which will add to his crop this year
probably 1000 bales more, making 3, 500 in all,
if it is good crop"

FILL Your LAMPS IN TIE MoRNING.-Scarce
ly week passes but we read accounts of fright
full accidents from kerosene lamps exploding
and killing or soaring for life men, women, and
children. A single knowledge of the lnaamma
BILE nature of the liquid will probably put a
stop to nearly all the accidents. As the oil
burns down in the lamp, highly inaammable
gas gathers over the surface and as oil decreases
the gas increases. When the oil is nearly con.
sumed, slight jar will inAame the gas, and an
explosion is bound TO folow-death and de.
struction. A bombshell is no more to be
dreaded
Now, if the lamp is not allowed to burn more
than half way down, such accidents are almost
impossible. Always fill your lamp every morn
ing, and then you need never fear an explosion.

MANY people point to the fact that the
twenty days named in the proclamation OF
President Grant TO insurgents in South Caro-.
lima have expired, and speak impatiently OF
his seeming to do nothing in accordance with
that proclamation, while terrible outrages con-
unue in the up-country. These should not be
so impatient in their speech, for if they would
look closer they might see that Grant is not
idle he is taking the first needed steps to
secure peace and the sway of law by sending
troops into this State this very city now holds
strong body Of cavalry, which arrived here
the other day from Kansas other troops will
follow, and none who know the bulldog grip
OF Grant, who know that he does not let 20 the

Washington for situations is without abate-
ment. A short time ago female clerk en-
ployed in one of the bureaus died two days

ton, many letters were received, bearing. the
highest Endorsements from Senators, judges,

When Gov. Alcorn of Mississippi telegraphed
to Washington that he was able to arrest and
punish the murderers in the massacre at Meri
dian, provided he could discover them. we re-
minded him of the case of Yerger, who is to day
at large in Jackson Gov. Alcorn wrote as a
long letter in reply, to show that ''ciyil power
has been fully as effective as military power in
the suppression of violence y and in support
of his assertion he gave a summary of what he
represented to be a list, furnished him by the
State Auditor, Of all the claims allowed and
paid for coroners' iuquests This summary
was as follows, viz -
April to September Inclusive 1869 q murders
October, 1889, to March, 1870 (inelnsive II murders
April to September (iucIusive) 1870 IS murders
October 1870 March, 1871, (nclusive) 10 murders
The first year of this period, being the term
of Gen. Ames's military administration, was
made to appear in a most unfavorable light in
comparison with the second year, being the
term of Gov. Acorn's civil administration Es-
pecially, he argued, is the second half of each
year the best means of comparing the working
results of the two administrations, and he
pointed TO his own statement of Al murders in
the second half of Gen. Ames's administration
and only l9 murders in the second half of his
own. We called attention at the time to re-
markable Inconsistencies in his statement.
which we compared with list furnished us by
one of our correspondents.
We now have before us the official return
made by the State Auditor in compliance with
a resolution of the Mississippi House of Rep
resentatives, which is even more complete than
the list we furnished, and speaks more strongly
than ours against Gov Alcorn's administration.
We make the following summary of inquests
according to this official list which, it must be
remembered, is the standard that Gov Alcorn
has himself adopted
