Fol STATE SENATOR,
HON. ZACH. j. MITCHELL,
Radical Tactics.

1t is astonishing that II party so
proscriptivc in ITS policy, and Which,
in the seven years that have elapsed
since the close of the war, has given so
many unmistakable exhibitions ofvin-
dlictive feeling towards those whom il
has been accustomed 10 prosecute and
denOulcc rs "traitor>" and rebels.
should now seek to sway any portion
OF tins element to the support of
Grant. But strange rs it may APP
pear, the paid cImi.sarics of tho all
m%inistration are travcrsing the south.
eulosisinlg the magnanimity of Grant,
rewriting all the bittcrest savings of
Horace Greeley durin" the war. hold
ing ont tempting bats to influential
rebels" and rcsorting TO every
means to win owe the victims of
their former prosecutions.
No people have ever exhibited a
more lofty spirit of silent and pa
iicnt endurance, than the southern
people have displayed since the war.
With their home governments in the
hands of carpet-basgcrs and negroes,
writhing beneath a system of SYSTEM
matte robbery and outragcs of the
grosscst character, upheld Or rom
mived at by the administration.
they have still held their souls in
patience, looking forward to the
lime when such noble moderation OH
their part, and such quiet submission
10 all the stipulations of the surrcn-
der. would win the favor and pro-
lection of the government. and place
them on n level with the citiZons of
the northern states. But that favor
and protection never came from
Grant. His heel was upon their
necks, and the sufierings of n con-
Iuered and submissive people could
not move his pitiless heart. Bavonct
rule, kn-klmN laws, cndlcs. cxactionS
"pon the people, and countless frauds
and private appropriations Of the
public funds. have been but some OF
the Affections of the southern states
under Grant.
And yet, i'll the face of such a black
record, the same man now calls upon
the same people to continue him in
power. "Ycllow Jack" that fatal
-outhern epidemic, has never been
more destructive to human life than
Grants administration has been TO
The peace and prosperity of the south
crm people. Will this people vote
Tor a perpetual scourgc? viii they
vote for n man to whom they owe
nothing, except the promise of II
peace that has never been fulfilled .
4 few stragglcrs may be won by lur-
ing bats, but the great body of the
southern people will support u man
who will wipe ont the traces ofour
civil strife, and guard the rights aud
liberties of all sections of our
Try. That man is Horace greeley.

fer Hudgels', on Friday Of last week.
1t appears he was employed in deepen-

therein, and after waiting about an
hour for the smoke to escape, he was
lowered into the we'll by Mr.. Hudgel
and an assistant. He reported it as
being close ard smoky, and was ad-
vised by Mr.. Hudgel to come out, but
he persisted in working, and after
short time, ballooed To- hoist. Mr..
Hudgel at once commenced to hoist and
after making about three turns OF the
windlass, felt the man clip from the
bucket. As soon as possible nei. hbor
went down and found the colored man
lying with his head downward, dead.
We are told one of the young men who
went down to assist in raising the body,
also came near fainting by the close
ness of the place. An inquest was held
and verdict rendered in accordance
with the above facts Berkeley Union.
