THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Fluvanua county
there was spirited contest for the Legislative
nomination between Mr. Gray, the old mem
Der, and COL w. D. Haden, the latter gentle
man proving the victor. At one time there
was some indications of a stir between the
friends Of the parties but COL Haden aud MIR:
Gray both in a courtly manner admonshcd
against anything OF the sort, evidenciug by
their remarks that they had at heart the good
grandizement. Mr.. Gray assured the people
that his FREUD Colonel Haden, would be elect
ed, and turning to the Colonel, in direct
manner, said, II am your servant, sir, during
this campaign" With such spirit animating
aspirants, onr success in the approaching cleo
ton is assured. -LynchJurg R'public0n,
BURNED BY AN AERoLIrE The barn Of
Mr.. Nathan Nye, in West Sandwich, Mass,
was totally consumed by fire Oh the Sth inst
during thunder storm. The lghtniug stroke
was seen by man about half mile distant
who states that when within about twenty de-
grees the bolt appeared to change, but looked
as if fire was being poured from bucket, and
waved itself to the barn, entered, and immcdi-
ately the whole barn was in flames. After
ward, among the ruins about barrel of green
ish-looking, porous, but extremely hard sub
stance, was found scattered about, principally
10 one corner. There was nothing about the
barn to melt into and form such peculiar lava
like matter, and it is supposed to have descend
ed with the lightning. A fragment has been
sent to Professor Agassiz for examination. -

A Lesson to Be Rensnbsred.


Very few counties in Ohio, (saYs the
Newark AdUocate.) polled their full
Democratic vote fhis-year. Some did
much better than Others, but meme put
forth their whole strength. ThetOt
Democratic vote is probably 25,0O0
short of what it was year ago. The
number of 'tstay-at homesn in Licking
county, were enough to have elected
our Lieutenant Governor, had they
gone to the polls and voted, Their
failure to do so arose from belief that
it would do no good In fact, = very
large number Of those who did vote,
were controlled by q determination to
eight on-fght ever" rather than BY q
belief thar victory was at their very
door. Their fidelity and perseverance
has had an unexpected early reward.
Let the lesson it teaches, be cherished
In perpetual remembrance. H5.f3.
If there had been any confidence that
Allen could be elected Governor, the
twenty-five thousand Democratic abb
sentees would all have been at the
polls They were kept at home by a
lack of hopefulness. But with the
Republicans the case was the other
way. Their lack of ionfidence was
of different kind, They distrusted
their party leaders, and for this reason
they wilfnllY stayed at home apdo in
tentionally allowed them TO be set
aside. s Td ti4h Feof9Da

Al excellent Suggestion.

= We commend the following excel
lent suggestions of the Pittsburg POat
to Democratic friends in tlsis coun-
ty, with the hope that they win lose
no time in putting them into practice
in every. township in the county
sai The Democrats in each election dis
strict should organize for themselves,
and depend upon themselves alone
. for all purposes. Nor should this or
. Bsganization be deferred. Itshould be
effected as soon as the winter COM
If1ences. Ifa well organized club was
gotten up in each township which
would meet regularly oncela week. it.
would be an easy matter to procure
competent persons TO deliver series
of lectures upon political questions. 1t
would be not only q pleasant, but also
q profitable mode of passing an even
ing each week during the winter. 1t
would bring the young men of each
district together aud make them bet
ter acquainted with each other, as
, well as form q kind of school of in
strnction in regard to the great ques-
items which underlie our system of

concern us each and ali alike. Upon
these living issues our opinions are
substantially the some. Why then
should we not act together like patri-
otie men and by one grand effort res-
cue our country from the evils and
dangers that beset it2
The Republican party was founded
on opposition to slavery. Slavery is
gone, never to be restored, and the
foundation of the party no longer ex-
lists. 1t can make no claim to pro-
longation of its power save by wise
and pure administration. But untOr-
tunately for it, unfortunately for the
country, It's administration, in many
and grave particulars. has been nsl-'
ther wise or pure. With its record of
the peoples lands bestowed upon cor
porations; of Credit Mobtlier frauds
and congressional corruption; of pro-
fuse and unwarrantable expenditure
in almost every department.; of un-
equal, unjust and oppressive taxation /;
of official defaleations amounting to
millions of dollars; of Freedmen's
Bureau frauds upon both the govern
ment and the coiored man; OF inter-
ference in elections and support of
usurped authority: of increase of SAL
ries and of salary grabs; and finally
of wide spread arrangement of the
finances and business of the country
by which thousands of men have been
reduced to poverty and many thou
sands deprived of employment with
such record as this, it can NO longer
jnstly claim the confidence and sup
port OF the people. a9aaiss
Il cannot, my friends, aclose this
brief address, without expressing my
admiration for the courage and zeal SO
often displayed by the Democracy of
Cuyahog q and so eminently this year.
1t is comfortable thing to be Dem
ocrat when our party is in a majority,
bat it is another thing to stand firm
by the faith in q hopeless minority.
And therefore have always thought,
and do still think, that our brethren in
the minority counties are entitled to
particular esteem and consideration.
And such l am glad to say is. the SEN
timent of our party, for go where you
will you hear tributes of praise to the
Democracy of the Reserve and es-
pecially to yourselves. 5,r f,sas45

Congress will meet in about SIX
weeks and will be overrun byrrobbers
of all sorts, sizes and conditions The
much be-puffed Texas Pacific railroad
will be on hand for government en-
dorsement of it's construction bonds.
It will doubtless be prepared to
"place" at least a million of dollars
stWhere they will do the most good"
There is the Puget Sound Land COM
pany, sort of parasite or off-shot of
the Northern Pacific Railway concern.
The land company viii require some
legislation, and the railroad company
will confidently expect government
assistance to help it in its president
crippled condition. Doubtless they
will both be willing to pay in money
or bonds-in stock or in lands-for ali
requisite Congressional assistance
The Emma Miue-a stupendous land
grab will also be around, with sops
for impeounious and unscrupuIous
gentlemen, to whom careless constitu-
encies have committed the charge of
the public interests. '5a'.'~
Not far behind these banks of rob-
bers will come Hen.'y CIews & Co.
and others, with $223, ,000O0Oof South
erIi State bonds, worth to-day about
$4,000, 900. The dodge is to procure
a governmental assumptions of these
debts, to the end that over 200 millions
of dollars of the peoples taxes may be
transferred into the pouches of Radi-
cal specnlators. This gang could well
afford to distribute ten millions among
greedy congressman. Then comes a.
set asking to have the $4,000, 600 coll
lected under the cent tax per pound
on cotton, refunded. 1t could pay
million. Then there will be calls for
about one thousand millions for ca
naIs-not all al once indeed, but be-
ginnings which will require some
such magnificent sum to complete.
We question whether there is snfIici-
ent virtue extant among those who
constitute the majority in Congress-,
to resist the sweet persuasive notes of
one fourth of all the greeHbacks which
viii be offered them at the approach
ing session. Let all these schemes be
watched, and let the people mark
every man who votes for any one of
them, as man whose conscience and
his character and his vote are all of
them for sale TO the lobby.-Pttts-

The Dsbt of ssash Carollna-

-
The State of South Carolina undcr
its negro regime has been reduced to
a terrible condition. Before The wat
its State Government was one Of me
most economically administersa iof
any in the Union. 1t had no debt, and
its taxes were very light. But since
negro suffrage was established and
the negroes have had tWo-thirds ma
jority in the Legislature, they have
run up a debt of over S20,0O0,000. As
the population is but zoe, 600, this.. is
$50 to every inhabitant,, It really falls,
however, upon. the 100000 whites, for
the 100000 negroes have little or no
property to list for taxation. This is
at the rate of $40 head for men, wo-
men and children. OF course the
State has not been ablcto pay even
the interest upon the debt, and 1t is q
serious question what is TO be done.
On the one hand ig repudiation on
the other bankruptcy. The tax-pay-
ers have really received no equivalent
for their twenty millions. They have
no railroads, no canals and no public
buildings to show for the Investment.
It has been in the main stolen. The
most extravagant salaries have been
paid the State officials. The members
Of the Legislature have received ten
dollars day. They haye had some
two hundred deputy clerks Of the
Legislature, instead of the dozen
which do the business in Ohio Thea
there has been a reissue and a'fofgery
of the State bonds to a large arnotiny.
The people can not pay the taxes ~
large portion of the best lande in tiae
State is ADVERTISED for sale, butdhere
are no bidders, for who can AFFORD to
hold land at such monstrous rates Of
taxation2 To repndiate seems hard,
for the bonds are nowsin good faith in
the hands Of innocent holders, who
had no agency inithe swindIe. The
Governor recommends . compromise
between the creditors and the State, 3
compromise by which the creditors
shall throw of considerable portion
Of their just claims in order to be paid
the balance. To this pitiabse and dis
graceful result, or something worse,
has the Republican rule degenerated

people in other States wait for. q like

The Democratic press of Ohio was
never more ably and efficiently con-
Quoted than during the recent success
ful canvass. 1t was as true (and as
sharp) as steel, and struck terror and
dismay into the Republican ranks.
Corruption will receive no Equarter
from its editors, who are men of prin-
ciples far above meFe personal inter-
ests, and will contend for their convie5
tions of right and honor, and the peo4
pies veal, let suffer who shall. From
the Daily Press-CincinnatiE Enquirer
and Cleveland Plain Dedler--tO the
least of the Weeklies, each and every
one did its duty admirably well-(we
speak of Others, without reference to
