At the close of the last session of Congress,
Senators Balm and Bayard and Representa-
tives Cox, Beck, Van Trump, Waddell, Rob-
inson and Hanks, constituting the Democrat
ic members Of the Ku-Klux Committee sub
m'tted the following in presenting the minori-
ty report. ... q .-..
"But while the negroes of the South have
position and power in the administration of
public affairs now, who can say, who can
look into the future SO clearly as to enable
him to say how long this unnatural state of
things will last. No one is so president as to
be able to fix the period of its duration; but
that it mnst end somehow, and at some time
not in the distant future, no philosophic
thinker will doubt. 1t is altogether too alb
normal, too much opposed to the instructive
feeling, some will say prejudices, of the white
race, to endure beyond the peculiar condition
Unpopular opinion, brought about by a war
prosecuted in the end fol- freedom, if not the
enfranchisement of the negro. Gradually, in
time, and under change of circumstances,
this exceptional state of the popular mind
will wear out and pass away,
and public opinion will vibrate back to its
old condition, as it existed prior to the dis
turbing influences of the war. This will be
brought about by one of two things; either
by rupture of the Government itself, or
the springng up of some new and all-power-
full party out of the ruins of the existing 90
ltical organizations. When either of these
two things shall occur, and God grant it NAV
not be the first, it will be the political death
of the negro on this continent. So far as it
relates to his future solidity as a race, COM
mingled with the whites within the Union,
he will be in worse condition than he was
in state of slavery; for the inevitable ten
dency will be to segregate him from the white
race, and if not transported to some other
country, he will slowly but surely pass away
like the aborigines, and his place among us,
like that OF the Indian, will be known no
more forever"
Is it the ultimate purpose of the 'tnew and
all-powerful (?) party"-the Liberals-to so
accept the fifteenth amendment that ''pubEc
opinion artlI ribrate back to its old condition
as it existed prior to the disturbing Influences
Of the acar?' The Georgia rebels are doing
this, but we were hardly prepared for this
declaration of the leading Democrats in Con-
gress. Does any rational man doubt that
Democratic victory would result in anything
else than what these leaders have indicated
above-a vibration back to the old condition?

Mr.. GREELEY's Missouri organ, the Ca,,-
casian, which has the very funny habit of
commencing the Presidents name with a
small ''g," does not have the most exalted
opinion of Andy johnson, simply because he
once affected to be patriot. 1t says:
We are no Andy-Johnson-ite. God forbid !!
As a United States senator, he was a traitor
TO his native land and to the noble people and
State that honored and trusted him. As a
Lincoln military governor, he was the ruth

had made him. And as a Jacobin-elected
President, he was dead, dismal failure-a
dawdling, gasconading. irresolnte ex-breeches

johnson rude, cross-legged patcher of dlap-

Victorious as Usual.

PENNSYLVANIA! INDIANA! OHIO EVERY
THING REPUBLICAN, This Republcanism
is a wonderful thing! Always exceeding the
expectation of the leaders; always leading
the leaders we may better say! Rooted and
grounded in the hearts of the people! Right
in principle, it never appeals in vain to the
sound sense, good judgment and sturdy in
tegrity of the nation. North Carolina, Yer
mont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Ohio have written the verdict of approval on
the brow of the Republican party and the
rest of the States only wait for November to
ratify the decision. The national result is
settled, if it were ever in doubt. The quiet,
silent, brave, sagacious and self-poised gentle
man who has for four years dignifed the
Presidential Office is triumphtantly acquitted
by the voice of great and magnanimous ma
ton of the violent, baseless and MALIGNANT
charges brought against him by the whole
ed, baffied place seekers. From Maine we
send greeting to our sister States which have
fallen into line with us.
The defeat of the coalition is rout! The
brand of disastrous, overwhelming defeat is
stamped ineffaceably upon the attempt of that
dilapidated roue, the Democratic party, to
win the favoring smiles Of the chaste maiden
Columbia by seductive fraud and indirection.
A solemn, unmistakable warning is given
against all future attempts to cheat the peo-
pie. The sugar coating of Greeley was not
sufficiently thick to disguise the bitter pill. be-
meath from the observant, sagacious and pen
etrating taste of those who were asked to
take it. We congratulate our friends upon
this great and renewed triumph of the princ-
pies of progress, good government and peace.

At conference of Independent Democrats
in New York Sept. 25th, a committee was
chosen to issue an address to their associates
which has recently been published. The ad-
dress says:
History will accord to his present admins
tration the merit of success: and for these
plain and substantial reasons: In the face of
various disadvantages he has lessened the pub
lie debt and taxation by more than $500, 000,-
600 in three years he has maintained the ma
tional honor and diminished the probabilities
of international war; and he has honestly and
successfully endeavored to promote the pros
perity of the whole people, by enforcing the
laws, increasing the security of life and prop
erty removing causes for domestic discord
and favoring every just measure for reviving
our commerce, increasing our manufactures,
giving labor its just reward, and finance Sc
curity and stability. These are his ample
recommendations for future trust and conf
dence; and they accord we'll with Mr.. Gree
ley's observation in his speech of January 5,
1871: L venture to suggest that General
Grant will be far better qualified for the mo-
mentous trust in 1872 than he was in 1868.
"But finally, no such merit as Mr.. Greeley
has accorded to Grant can be anticipated for
one who, by his perpetual inconsistency, is
doing what he can, not only to destroy him
self and his former friends, but to debauch
the political and moral sense of the people,
which is the first step toward national de-
cay.
1t is under these circumstances and for
these reasons that we invite all honest and
Independent Democrats to join us in MAX
ing effective use of their votes and influence
by the support of Grant. For, while the
supporters of O'Conor and Adams as the can
didates of the 'Straight-out' Democracy are
entitled to herespect due honorable men sup
porting honorable men in the endeavor to
reDuke political corruption and avert
the evil influences of fraudulent COM
binations trading for place and plumber
in the name of Democracy, it is too late for
them so to organize as to make their endeav-
ors seriously felt in the final result of the pres
ent campaign. And even the voice of the
honored VConor, in his letters on the Presi-
Dental question, has been heard emphatical-
ly preferring General Grant to his new leader
and champion of the so-called Democratic
party.
''Thus holding patriotism above party and
Democracy above demagoguism, we ADAM
don no sound principle in adopting and coun-
selling Others to adopt, the Jeffersonian de-
claration of human rights. as the all suffi-
Gent creed, and the Constitution as it is, as
the all-sufficient guide for all men to achieve
the highest results of true Democracy, ''the
greatest good to the greatest NUMBER
"All of which is respectfully submitted to
our Democratic brethren in behalf of the
National Committee of the Independent De-
mocracy.

Our Opportunity.

The question of encouragement to manu-
features has become one which affects very
closely the interests of our city, and among
all kinds of projected and possible enterprises
none are more favorable than the shoe manu-
facture. The percentage of labor in this pro-
duct is very large-from 40 to 45 per cent
thus giving employment to large number of
hands in proportion to the capital used in the
business. Many large manufacturers of Lynn
are DESTROYS to change the place of their
business to some locality less affected by the
Crispins than Lynn, where labor has become
so closely organized as practically to control
capital. Some of our Maine towns are prompt
to avail themselves of this situation and at
tract to themselves this mobile capital. Au-
gusta has erected a large factory, filled it with
machinery and proposes to loan $4,000 at 6
per cent. interest to the manufacturer who
will occupy it. Cornish, Yarmouth and some
other towns are slso offering large induce
ments. None of these places, and in fact no
place in Maine, is so favorably situated for
this industry as Portland. The city is so
agreeable as place of residence that skilled
labor at reasonable rates can be attracted and
retained here, while the access to market is
ready and cheap.
We are led to the special consideration Of
this question now by the petition of Norris,
Hull G. Co. to the City Council for exemption
from taxation of large factory which they
propose to erect, or which certain parties pro-
pose to erect for them and stock with machin-
cry, provided that the city will exempt them
from taxes in accordance with the general or
dinance concerning new manufactures. They
will employ about $50 hands, largely drawn
from abroad. The benefits which will enure
to the city from this addition of business and
population will vastly outweigh the possible
loss of tax upon capital now taxable which
may be thus made exempt. Quite likely that
capital now escapes taxation for the most
part, and the poll taxes of new citizens would
probably exceed the actual loss Of income in
this particular case. We hope the City Coun-
ell will omit no effort to encourage and attract
the shoe manufacture, and that in the special
case cited they will take such action will
prevent this business from being transferred
to neighboring towns where liberal offers are
made.
All this leads to the enquiry, where is our
Boaid of Manufactures and what are they
doing? An answer to these queries or some
evidence of continued vitality would be inter
esting 10 our citizens.

An Atlanta. Ga, special reports the evil
dence of William Butts, one of the election
managers, regarding democratic frauds in the
late election, which was given at trial for
violation of the enforcement act on the oc-
oasion. Butts swears that while he and the
other election managers were receiving votes
in the afternoon, the ballot box which had
been used in the forenoon was stuffed by
some persons unknown, and that all the
tickets thus fraudulently placed were demo-
cratic. Mr.. Butts is himself democrat and
justice of the peace, and bis testimony corro-
borates the sworn statements of other parties.
The cases of fraud in other districts were
even more marked than in this.
