A writer in the Fairfield Chronicle oc-
cupies more than column Of that paper
in fault finding with the republican party.
designed to create disaffecton and lead
voters astray. The editor of the paper
in dozen lines referring to the article o.
his correspondent. gives his readers the
following sensible advice, which we
have no doubt they will appreciate and
leave Zone of the People" to make soil
tary tracks towards the goal for which he
is aiming. The editor says:
The action of the legislature regarding the
shire town is a subject long since dead, and we
wonder at its being alluded TO at this time.
No one in this county is ignorant of the fact
that ex Gov. Coburn donated the court house
to the county. why then, RICH. or wrong, try
to stir up feelings of bitterness regarding the
past? Rather let US attend to the duties now
incumbent upon us as law abiding citizens
than TO endeavor to make political capital
from the folly or the wisdom Of past actions.

SOMETHING YET TO DO.

The Ohio republican State Convention
took strong and high ground in its plat
form against the outrages in the South,
and the speakers all referred to the evil
dent necessity which these imposed upon
the republican party of standing up for
equal rights. And SO at a meeting in
Newark to ratify the New Jersey republi-
can nominations the duty OF republicans
at the present time was enforced in the
speeches. One of the speakers said:
If political organization is created for ig.
noble motives, and with unworthy purposes,
its mission will end in disaster and disgrace,
though it may achieve temporary success, but
our party, formed for no such intentions, is
strong, and the gates of he'll shall not prevail
against it. Applause. Indeed. when l
heard of the outrages committed in the South,
and the infamous proceedings that took place
in that northern colony, where men were
quietly pursuing their avocations and endeav-
oring to build up their industries; when the
officers OF the town were imprisoned, and
others were brutally hung on the trees by the
White League in Louisiana, / felt that the
minions OF hell were endeavorine to UNDER

l felt then, in truth, that we might begin this
campaign feeling that our mission was not
ended, and that all our powers ard energies
are necessary to preserve what we have al
ready gained. We hear remarks of an I'M
pending war of races in the South; if that
shall come then the Republican Party will
have mission. (Cheers. 1t would seem
as if there was an organized attempt to wrest
the ballot from the hands of the black men by
force Of arms if that is so, then know that
some missionaries, like the Boys in Blue,
will carry down the gospel of equal rights,
armed with something better than spiritual
weapons. CHEERS There may be abuses
OF power on the part of the colored race, as
in the nature of things there must be, after
such great social revolution. l know it may
be true that riots and outrages may be engen-
dered by that great upheaving of the social
elements which the South brought upon it.

it is the duty of the Republican Party, that
they can teach them they can find no
remedy for such abuses and outrages, in any
form Of slavery. Applause They can not,

American freemen. [Hear, hear. During

employed to restore order, and under Gen.

STAND BY THE REPUBLICAN

l. FLAG!
The events which have recently taken
place in the South have lesson not to be
disregarded. We are pleased to see that
President Grant recognizes the gravity OF
the situation, and will exert the power Of
the Government to preserve peace and or
der and maintain the rights of indivd-
viduals and communities in the Southern
States as far as he is authorized to do So
But beyond what the President is doing
or may do to prevent the farther perpetra-
ton of outrages by the oath-bound assoc-
atoms known as the Ku-Klux and White
League, looms up the great question, what
are the people Of this country going to do
about the condition of things in the South !?
Every voter is interested in this question
Every election to occur this Fail
will bear directly upon it. Shall the gov
eminent be kept in hands that can be trust

regardless of color. or whether of southern
or northern birth, or shall it be allowed to
pass into the hands of those who instigate,
aid and sympathize with the actors in the
bloody scenes transpiring in the southern
States? There is not the shadow of q
doubt that while the government is admin
istcred by the republican party there will
be peace in the country, equal rights for
all will be maintained, freedom, free
speech. honest elections will be promoted.
But if 1t were to happen that the democra-
cy came into power while questions grow

South are unsettled, while the rights of
the colored race are not firmly established

ed in the southern States, then it requires
no prophet to foretell the evils that would
follow.
For the State of affairs now existing in
the South the republican party is in some
degree responsible. Last Spring the

cal jealousies and divisions upon matters
