What Is a Murderer!

There were number of noble red men in
town yesterday dressed in full war costume
paint, feathers, tOmahawk and all. They all
have killed their man, and one of them is re-
ported to have his lodge lined with scalps of
the worthless whites men, women and chill
dren. These native Americans, original own
ers of the land, Of course are not muderers.
They killed innocent people without prOvoca-
tiOn , but it must be all right, as they are trav-
cling in style, putting up at first-class hotels
and being shown through our prominent
places of interest under the chaperonage of
government officers free of expense How
can they be mHrderers? We treat grand
dukes, princes, litterateurs, with but little
more hospitality.

A STRING APPEAL-The DanvlIe Times:
In summing up the issue in that Congressional
district as between the whites and blacks, uses
the following strong language
"The issue is black against white. We saw
the carpet baggers and scalawags ale to blame;
bat no matter, such is The actual situation. The
negro refuses to vote for Davis, because he il the
candidate ofthe white man, and will vote in
solid phalsnx for Thomas because he bears the
black flag They suspect the white man, fear
him and oppose him, because he is white. 1t ia
therefore struggle in the South for power be-
tween the negro and the white man, between
civilization and barbarism. This is the worst
state OF thing. that could happen for the colored
man; but as they have made it so, we must ac-
cept the issue.
Stand to your race, is nov the watchword; and
woe be unto the white man who deserts his COL
ors The question rises higher than politics.
II Is almost as sacred as religion. We must
preserve The purity of the white blood and our
civilization. The white mau who takes the side
OF Thomas is a traitor to his race. Great God
how can white man lead an army Of blacks
against his own people? We can estimate the
ruin and crime OF placing the South under the
heels OF the African race? We hear that some
Of our men are callous and Indifferent and tha,

Davenport, of the United States steamer
Congress, and conveyed to the United
States.
This course will be pursued to protect
her from annoyance or seizure by the Span

been lying in wait to seize her should she
leave Port-au-Prince, where at last accounts
she was blockaded. Whatever offence she
may have committed against our neutrality
will be investigated within our own court.
While the United States government
wishes to observe strict neutrality in re-
gard to difficulties in the Island of Cuba,
they cannot consent that our merchant

pursuits, or overhauled and examined m

contract--but that is the uuestion-haye
they the right to do this indirectly-(bind
all future Legislatures for thirty-four years)
what no one will contend they had a
right to do directly? =
The constitution does not in so many
words deny this power to the Legislature,
simply because it was an assumption of
power it was not dreamed any Legislature
would attempt to exercise.
The retention by the people of this
power is, as we have said, absolutely es-
sential to sovereignty. Nor can they di-
vest themselves of it; il is essential to the
existence of the State. If, then, it was
such contract as the Legislature had no
right to make, and this the courts will
doubtless hold, then the contract is clearly
voidable, and the sooner the funding bill IS
repealed, and some such substitute as that
proposed by Senator Fitzpatrick adopted.
the better for the bondholders. as well as
the people of the State generally. Reduce
the current expenses of the State to the
lowest possible point not simply by the
reduction of the pay of members of the
Legislature and salaries of officers of the
State, for the services of those competent
to fill the responsible positions--such as
judges, &C., could not be obtained for a
less price--but there may be retrenchment
and great saving without working Injustice
to faithful officials. When this is done, it
may be found the present tax will be suffi-
cient to pay the interest upon so much of
the debt as we justly owe at all events,
after the payment of the necessary expen-
ses of the State, let it be appropriated to
the payment of the interest as far as it will
go, but should it be found the present tax
would be amply sufficient for all the de-
nands of interest and current expenses.
even then the coupon feature that enables
the creditors of the State to intercept the
taxes should be repealed ; let the taxes be
paid into the treasury, and after the amount
essential to the existence of the State has
been appropriated let the interest be paid
at the treasury upon the coupons as well
