II know that the negroes are banded to-
gether, as a race, under the lead of vile car
pet.ba2gers and Infamous scalawags, who
would as quickly sell their God for thirty pieces
of silver as they have betrayed their race and
country fer office, promotion and the hope of
stealing, swlndling and plundering But, not
withstanding this antagonism to the white
people, know that an influence might be
brought to bear on them which they could not
resist, IT, the property holders OF the state
were SO disposed. Let every land-holder re.
fuse to rent or employ any labOrer, unless he
will agree, with proper stipulations, TO vote
with his landlord or employer. This may be
done without mourning any OF the penalties
Of the act OF Congress against intimidatlng
voters"
The court would state that if the exaction
of such stipulation from lsborers and tenants
does not violate any existing act Of Congress,
1t is "devoutly to be wished" that there will
soon be an act of Congress that would be
thereby violated. Any attempt, however, to
enforce such q stipulation would be an IN
fraction of the election laws OF this State, az
manifest 'intlmidation of voters" aud ifthe
voter consented and fulfilled the ''stipula-
tlon," 1t would render him liable to the pen
alties Of the law. voter, cannot legally
make MS ballot the subject of such stipula-
tion. He holds 1t as high and sacred trust
for the country OF which he is citizen, and
me law PROMPTS him from using 1t for pecu-
MARY gain, or making profit for himself In
casting 1t. The writer further saws:
'.In this way, and in this way only. can we
rout the carpet-6agger and soalawag, and get
control of the colored people. Cuffee has no
gratitude ia general, as I have we'll tested,
though there are exceptions, and be can only
be Influenced by his wants and necessities.

over the State, to determine unanimously and

THE FRENCH ARMY.

The government Of France is get
ting through an enormous amount Of
work. The revision Of military grades,
for example, has been completed by
the com mission appointed for that
purpose, and has been acc pied by
both armies-Napoleon's and Gam
betta's. The principle adopted has
been to examine every commission, 10
aoual or diminish any grant made in
has,e or from favor, and to confirm
every one justified either by service or
by subsequent successes in the field.
Seven thousand commissions have
been examined, reported on, and ad.
justcd, and as yet only one officer ap.
parently has refused to accept the de-
.cision, and the army has become once
more a whole. This was by far the
most dangerous question in tho War
Department, and its removal seems to
show that Gen. Cissey has been some
what moderated as an admi oistrator.

sharp curves and deep cuts 10 which
that route aboupds in the vicinity Of
Chatham. Last Sunday evening as
conductor Russell's train was thunder

served but little ways ahead what he
supposed to be a fire by the side of

occurrence, he gave it scarce a thought,
until, as the engine rounded a short
curve, he saw to his horror that the
flames came from a bridge over which
the train must pass. 1t was a mo-
mennt Of terrible suspense. Just. be-
fore, the bridge, which spanncd an
abyss Of some Fifty feet, but was with.
