Whn OuDosed to Grant !?

What is the worst that can be said against
President Grants administration by Demo-
Gratis That which, to us, seems to be the
of the Ku-Klux laws. These laws mete out
Just punishment to harsh criminals for the
preparation of infamous outrages upon un-
offending people. Should President Grant be
ignored by the Republicans because Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, if you please, urge this
objection against his reelection Are these
people in favor of the suppression of the Ku-
Klux Klans and the punishment of its crimi-
nails or are they favorable to fostering the
Klans and shielding the criminals Are they
in favor of the protection of the loyal, patriotic
and industrious law-abiding men ofthe Southern
States, or are they disposed to have them, their
property, their families, their liberties and
their sacred lives handed over to the unrestrain-
ed tender mercies of those who huntthem down
in DISCUSSES, and subject them to every species
of barbarity and even death because they
choose to vindicate their manhood by voting
the Republican ticket and speaking Republi
can sentiments? The key to this-their most
noted-objection furnishes the secret to their
objection to President Grant.
Let US see if President Grant does his duty or
not in this particular. When he entered upon
the discharge of his duties as President of the
United States, he took solemn oath that he
would see that the laws were faithfully exc
cuted. In his inaugural address he said that
''the best remedy for bad law was its faith
full execution" this having the tendency to
bring about its repeal. On the statute books
of the American Congress stand the laws,
furnishing Ku-Kluxism, the duty of whose exc
cution rests upon President Grant. Would these
tender Democrats have him violate his oath OF

DOLLY WARDEN.

o Dolly Dolly Warden,

That thou mndly trails st it DER
With thousand vines or more?
Now its every turn discloscs
Lilies, pinks and blushing roses,
Violets, forget-me-nots,
Lsrkspurs, and don't know whats.
All the colors Of the year
In a single gown appear;
Flowers of every season,
In and out of reason,
All single yard in
Hast thou, Dolly Warden.
Dolly |! Dolly Warden! ..-...---.-.--. ,..
Still thy praDks We pardon;
For very witching thing
Is the wlimsy thou dost bring
Every pretty maiden,
With thy wealth o'erladen,
Takes where er she goes
Charm of added rose,
Spell of all things fair,
Bloom of everywhere.
Hail to thee ! But pray put guard on
Those who can't, dear Dolly Warden.
Every human form divine
Can't be graced with flower and vine,
Bearing Ger its back quaint story
Traced in bloom of morhiug-glory-
Every dame can't be a garden,
AS thou know'st, poor Dolly Warden.
Nainly, Dolly Warden,
We our hearts would harden.
Witching one, new born Of spring,
Full of dainty blossoming!
Whether though dost come in lawn,
Bright and misty as the dawn;
Calico that wakens choler
With its every yard dollar;
Or in softly rustling silk,
Wool, and fabrics Of that ilk--
Still thou'rt winsome, gay and fair,
Peerless past all base compare.
Let old togics ask your pardon,
Nor paternal purse keep guard on.
Never more our hearts Wen harden;
Thou hast conquered, Dolly Warden!

KITTY'S STRATAGEM.


Such little witch as she was, this Katy
Day, Of whom write. She couldn't help
flirting if she tried, and it WASH her fault,
of course, If men were taken in by the
round, childish face and great, innocent,
blue eyes. For they were, scores of them,
aud Kitty went on her way rejoicing
completing their bewilderment by the shy
looks aud smiles, and bushes, that really
meant nothing, but were very effective,
nevertheless.
But in an unlucky hour for Kitty, she
said Yes" to dark, melancholy, young
man, who had been her shadow for months
She wasn't in earnest, but did it for the
fun of the thing" and because she
wanted to know how it felt to be engaged"
1t resulted seriously, however, for, in spite
Of express commands to the contrary, the
accepted suitor went directly to her father
and told him all about it. Mr.. Day looked
at his daughter mischievously that night,
as she sat behind the tea urn with such a
comical assumption Of dignity.

Mr.. Day looked at her sternly.
"Tm not jcstiug," she added, pettishly.
{" He threw himself into such a passion
that was fairly frightened into saying
{ Yes,' and sorry enough I've been for it
since"
Are you in earnest, Kitty"
"Yes, am" and the blue eyes flashed
de6antly.
"Is it possible that daughter of mine
has so little feeling and principle"

"Well, what will you have?" and she
looked up archly.

"What modest demand - There was
a mocking smile on her lips, but her eyes
fell beneath his.
DO you think SOP" and, taking the
mischievous little face between his hands,
he scanned it closely. What he saw there
was evidently satisfactory, for he kissed it
over aud over, and Kitty, though che re-
sisted q little at first, finally submitted
with very good grace.
"'Tis we'll to be off with the old love
before you are on with the new" whispered
he, slyly. "Gilbcrt's done for, and I've
stepped into his place."
'"But he didn't treat me in this way"
pouted she.

him if he had. I'd shoot him in min

but failed wofully.

wardly, "aud-aud-" he paused aud
tried to collect his ideas" that Kitty S
aunt and grandmother died in lunatic
asylum"
GAIL mistake" responded Mr.. Day
pompously. "There never was case of
insanity, either among my own kiadred, or
that of my late wife,"
But your daughter, sir, has peculiar
disposition, and find it isn't suited to
mine at all. We should be miserable to-

dercd his listener, white with rage. For
Mr.. Day really had violent temper, and
didn't need to feigu its possession, like
Kitty.
"Dear me! the father is worse than
the daughter" thought the young man.
Aloud hc answered, "Oh, no; l came to
you first" (The fact was he didn't dare
face Kitty with any such proposition).
Well, sir, all have to say is that you
are mean contemplate villain, and if
you don't get out of my Office this minute,
I'll kick you down STAIRS" and before the
words were fairly out of Mr.. Days mouth
he started to make his threat good.
Young Gilbert made hasty retreat,
convinced that not only Kitty, but Mr..
Day, also, was partially insane.
Kitty listened demurely to her fathers
version of the affair, and the anathemas
he hurled against her recreant lover.
Once though, during that narration, she
shook so with laughter that he looked at
her suspiciously But she put on such
an air of wretchedness that he ascribed it
to wounded pride. 1t was not till two
years afterward that he learned the truth,
aud Kitty was married to Joe, who I forgot
to say, was not her own cousin, though she
called him so, but q sort Of relation. Mr..
Day received his revelation good.humor-
edly (Joc had always been his special favor
ite), and was ready enough to laugh with
the rest over the way in which he had been
outWitted.

To TIE Editor cfMe Neu National Era:
DEAR SIR: The people Of this city and
county are alive to the interests Of the Re
publican party and the country. Last night
they held large and enthusiastic meeting
at the Opera House, and all who attended
the meeting were satisfied that the colored
people here know who their friends are, and
will cast their votes solid for Grant, the adj
vice Of Senator Sumner to the contrary not
withstanding.
The following resolutions offered by Prof.
James Storum were unanimously adopted:
Resoired, That while we give due credit TO
the Hon. Charles Sumner for his former eff
forts in behalf Of the colored people, still we
must protest against his present course in
using his influence with our colored brethren
to induce them to vote for the candidates of
our enemies, the Democratic party. thereby
endangering all the benefits we have received
In the past from our friends the Republican
party.
Resolrei, That We call upon our brethren
North and South, East and West, to stand
firm, unanimously in defense of the part,
which has been our friend in the days Of oul
adversely and bondage, and which we havs
reason to believe will be in the future as il
the past, ready to defend Us against wrong
and oppression.
Yours for the right,

Tne COlOred Greeley Meeting in

Went OF

A correspondent writing to the Louisville
Commercial, from Nelson county under the
date Of July 18th, says:
81 have just returned from Bloomfield,
where / was most delightfully."- entertained
with the manner in which Mr.. Rowan Wick
life used up the Greeleyite colored gentle
man, w. Chambers.
early in the morning, about nine o'clock,
Chambers had a procession formed in the
northern part of the town, consisting of a
large wagon, filled with colored ladies', all
dressed white, with a number of flags, large
and small, carried by them; then came some
fifty boys and girls, not over fifteen years
old, and very few grown persons following.
AS they passed through the town, with their
music and banners, Chambers at their heads,
on horseback, cried out, Three cheers for
Greeley.' the three cheers being given with
vim by himself with q good response, "hur-
rah for Grant," by number of colored
voters.
ARRIVING at the stand, just out Of town,
Chambers opened the ball with very labored
but well delivered appeal to the black men to
support Greeley, and once again called fol-
three cheers for Greeley, which, as before
| was given by Chambers alone.
'In the afternoon, Wiclllihc got the crowd
together, with quite a number of white men
present, when he poured the hot shot into
the Democrats and Greeley and Chambers,
while shout after shout told how delighted his
colorcd brethren were. Wickliiic then pro-
posed three cheers for Grant, which were
given with such hearty good will By all the
colored voters present that itnladc the woods
ring with their huzzas.
"Mr. Gibson, from your city, followed in Q

The Greeley organs have made stimuli
taneous howl over the purchase of the rebel
archives, as very great waste of money.
OF course, this is partly owing to a we'll
grounded fear that their publication will
damage Greeley's prospects. But the ar
chives have great value apart from this.
The Washington Chronicle says that it has
transpired that in single case already,
1925 900 was saved to the Government by
evidence gathered from them. A claim had
been backed by twenty witnesses before the
Commission, aud had all the appearance of
being just, when a letter fonnd among these
archives established beyond cavl that the
witnesses had pcrjured themselves, and that
the claimant had been in the rebel service at
the very time he claimed to have been making
sacrifices for the Union cause. He very alb
ruptly put on his hat and disappeared when
confronted with the evidence of his knavery.
Other false claims will doubtless be shown
up, and disloyal men be deferred from at
tenpts to draw money from the Treasury to
which they have no claim.
