CoLoNIzING NEGRO VoTERs.-The Louis
vile Comier-Jomnal says:
We have it on the authority Of a railroad
man who is favorable to Grants reelection
that five thousand negroes have passed over
his line alone into Pennsylvania within the
last ten days, colonized there for the purpose
of voting the Hartranft ticket The estimate
that ten thousand negroes have been imported
by Cameron and his agents probably falls con-
siderably below the mark. BY such outrage
Gus frauds the Grant men hope to carry the
keystone State We trust Mr.. Randalls as
surance that arrangements have been perfected
by the Democrats and Liberals to foil the
Radicals in their infamous purpose is well
founded.

A Stupendous Fraud--The Negro
Exodus.

During the past ten days, our community
has been forced to witness an amount of bra
zen effrontory well calculated to excite the
deepest indignation. Agents from Pennsylva-
MIA have been in our midst engaging negro
men-ostensibly for work upon railroads, in
quarries, rolling mills, &C., but really for the
of voting for the Grant Radical candidates IN
the approaching State election on the sth of
the present month. Nor Is this the only place
where this fraudulent business has been crrried
on. One hundred and fifty negroes have been
ticketed from the Charlcstown depot, as many
more from Harpers Ferry and frem Harrison
burg and other points in the Valley. In short
the whole northern border of Virginia, and the
counties Of Maryland contiguous to Pennsyl-
vauia have been secured by these vllainous
agents of Simon Cameron for negro men to
aid 10 defeating the effort of the honest voters
of Pennsylvania to rid themselves of the rule Of
the plundefe:s who have gotten possession OF
the government Of that State Winchester

A Hebrew Opinion of Senator
Wilson.

Abiding tc Senator Wilson, the Cincinnati
Lsraelte says, ironically;
Show mercy, ladies and gentlemen, to
Senator Wilson. He confesses, repents, and,
besides, soft-soaps you pleasantly When he
said, in the Senate Of the United States, the
Jews were the race who stoned the prophets
and crucifed the Redeemer Of the world, he
meant no harm; when, as Know Nothing
he insulted every foreigner and sanctioned
persecution against them, he meant no harm
de did not mean to be Vice President of the
United States, and it was fashionable then to
tram7le spon the foreigner and spit upon the
jew. But now it is all over, and Senator
Wilson is a candidate before the people, in
eluding foreigners and Jews. Now be is
quite pesSsu: and obliging. Be generous ;
show mercy TO a repeating man. AS regards
ourselves, We forgive him this sin and all 9TH
ers he has committed, but we cannot vote for
man to elevate him to the second highest
office in the country whose conceptions Of JUS
tioe, equality and liberty are so narrow and
ungenerous.' And such. no doubt, is the feel
ing Of all intelligent Hebrews towards Grant
If General Grant had ordered certain individ-
uals out Of bis department il might be well
enough. but when he prescribed all g Jews, as
q class, he manifested biSetry which every
appropriated and judcious mind must con-

Surprise Parties,

The following from an exchange upon
that foolish and impertinent folly, a
Surprise party" we commend to our
readers
ga lady correspondent who lives in an
adjacent town, was recently the victim of
surpise party, and relates her experience
as follows | have never imposed onsany
of my friends or neighbors by attending
surprise party, and as long as [ remain
sane | never will. But L have been the
unwilling recipient of one of those social
nuisances dubbed a silver wedding
Isaac and | knew as well as anybody that
we had been married twenty five years,
but we didn't wish to celebrate the event
for numerous reasons. We didn't wish
to beg for presents. Our house is not
large enough to accommodate all we
would wish to invite on such an occasion,
aud we could not bring ourselves to slight
any and not being partial to large parties,
judge of our CONSERVATION when we were
overwhelmed by a mob consisting of some
of our friends aud many who we're not
our friends or even acquaintances, Tom,
Dick, and the dragon, any one who could
be induced to sign their names to a paper,
and pay their money to help buy a tea
set, under the promise of coming to our
house and having gay time, Just as they
would have paid for going to any place of
public amusement. The presents, were
nice, indeed, but | shall never use them,
and for them we are put under obligations
to a class OF people whose acquaintance
we did not desire. They rummaged and
ransacked the house from garret to cellar,
looked in my closets and bureau drawers,
and even counted the blankets on my own
aud my servants beds, smashed my pet
cast, wore holes in my sitting room carpet
by dancing on it, aud have made capital
for gossip out of may household arrange
ments generally There were even peo-
pie present to whom [ was not introduced
We have always been independent re-
tained our old friends and made few new
CUES Now l am expected to call on Mrs
this, that aud the other, and to speak to
their husbands and brothers when | meet
them on the street, for their names are
on that poper which accompanied our
silver among the list of donors L put
down my veil, hoping one of these new
friends, who is somewhat intoxicated, will
not recognize me, and as [ get past, hear
him say, proud old vixen-wish | had
the dollar [ throwed away on her silver
tea set !! | have lost my independence
and self-respect, and am quite miserable
under all this obligation, which | look
upon the whole affair as an unwarrantable
piece of interference, for which | shall
never pardon the idle busybodies who
for the want of something better for
excitement, set it on foot.
