The Democracy knowing that they
are responsible for the late massacre in
New York city, are more despondent
than ever of success at the coming
elections. In fact, they feel that de-
feat is their certain doom, if the Re
publieans will stand by their principles,
and poll full vote. Let our friends
remember this.

THE Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, in the ad-
dress which VIC print on the outside of
to-day's paper, terscly and truly sets
forth the record of the great party of
progress. 1t is a capital summary of
magnificent reforms consulnated and
eternal principles indicated. The po-
litical history of the Republican party
fills many volumes, but no part of it
is so brilliant as the work it has done
for Humanity.

THE Indiana Democrats are growing

THE n Y. Times appears to hold
the whip-hanilc in dealing with the
Democratic Mayor and Controller of
that city, as will be seen by an article
in another column. 1t presents an as
founding array of figures which bear
indisputable evidence of fraud, in the
distribution of the public moneys. At
ter such startling expose, let no one
question under which rule their inter
csts are best guarded, and forever let
Democratic journals hold their tongues
about Republican corruption.

THE fight among the Democratic
leaders Oh account of the New York
riot, is represented as being exceeding
" bitter. Hoffman is denounced by
Hall and others, and it Will depend
vcsy greatly whether Tammany gets
easily cut of its present dilemma wheth-
er it gives Hoffman It's support for the
Presidency. Hall and the local lead
ers of Tammany are exceedingly sore
that their listle game should have been
spoiled, and resent the interference Of
the Governor so far as they dare.

THE KU-KLUx.-It is represented
by almost every citizen who has been
summoned to give testimony before the
Ku-Klux Investigating Committee, that
it is next to impossible for any man,
white or black, entertaining Republi-
can principles, to live in peace and
safety in Southern State. The evil
dent intention of these midnight des-
pcradoes is to bully the whites, and ter
rify the blacks, when they do not kill
them, so that the Republican ticket
will not have any open supporters, or
supporters at all, in the election for
President in 1872 throughout the South.
1t is their only hope of carrying the
Southern States. In nearly every one
of them, where the people are permit
ted to vote as they wish, the Republican
ticket will secure majority. The
blacks to man vote with us, and suf-
ficient number of the Unionist whites
are Republicans to enable us to carry
two-thirds of the States without a
doubt, if an honest election is held.
Every ex-Rebel is Democrat. Every
member of this fendish order is Dem
ocrat. Every colored man, and every
Union man is Republican. Can any
good citizen hesitate as to what party
he should belong and vote with? All
the traitors and Ku-Klux on one side,
and all the Unionists on the other.

LOUISIANA SUGAR CRoP.-The Louisiana Pioneer,
published in the parish OF st. John the Baptist,
says-Tle sugar planters OF this parish seem to be
well pleased with the yield OF the cane lately; the
weather has been very favorable for the cane, and
accounts partly for the larger yield than was ex-
pected at the beginning OF the rolling season. Some
cane Yields, as we were told, two hogsheads per
acre, and one and half hogshead appears to be
the lack OF water as we had unusually little rain this
fall, and most OF the water ponds are dry, that
many OF our planters are obliged TO employ pumps
at the river to supply their sugar houses.
