An ..EIpDllant."

Our neighbors Of Washington find the
colored element in that city too big an
elephant tor their comfort. The Star of
Monday thus philosophises:
We have the immense "contraband' army
brought upon us by the war, and who have
been kept atloat here 10y our local politi-
clans for voting material To-day thou
sands who should be at work on the farms
of Virginia and Maryland, where their
labor is sorely needed, are loating about
Washington, subsisting on stray jobs, chart
ty or worse; and for whose support through
the winter months Congress will be called
upon for an appropriation this session
(as it has regularly in past sessions TO en-
able them to pull through until the politi-
cal strikers can utilize them at the polls
again-in case the &c lorious right OF elect
ing Legislative assemblies" is restored 10
the District.
Under these exceptional circumstances
it is not very strange that the taxpayers
should not banker to any great extent Tor
the right ofsutlrage. Like Dickens much
whipped charity boy in his fluctuations
learning the alphabet, they doubt If it i
worth while going through So much t. gc,
so little. As Congress has supreme lcCis-
lative power over the District they prefer.
as at present advised, that Congress should
exercise that power.

Friday Morning, November. ....13. 1874.
Organization.

The few earnest words which we spoke
last week, urging the necessity for imme-
dlate thorough organization in order to
relieve this county from Radical control,
seem to have met with hearty and prompt
response from many of our friends, who
have assured us of their eagerness to lend
efficient aid to accomplish the desired
cad. We have been encouraged by this
manifestation of eagerness to prepare the
outlines of plan by which we think the
object in view may be reached, and which,
after submitting to and obtaining the APP
proval of wiser heads than ours. we pro-
pose to lay before the people. In the
meantime we will say, that we are in earn
est, deeply earnest about this matter and
1t shall not be our fault if the Democratic
party is not thoroughly organized and
prepared before the next campaign opens.
All we ask is the cooperation of the good
men and true, who are not only interested
in the good name of Charles county, but in
its material prosperity.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1874-11-13

of good government shall fall like the
gentle dews of heaven" upon all alike, the
rich and poor the black and white. We
are not called upon to deprive the black
man of any right he has acquired, but to
afford equal reghts and protection to the
white man-so that the South may be re-
habilitated the waste places built up, and
the two races move on, each in its respec
tive sphere, in peace, harmony and entire
accord, personal and material The white
man to rule the country, as Nature and
Natures God designed him to do, whilst
the black man will as fully fill the measure
of his usefulness in the more humble posi-
ton for which Divine Providence intend
ed him. All this we believe the great,
immutable principles of our glorious party
will accomplish, if adhered to strictly.
And for ourselves, we shall expect and re-
quire a more rigid and unbending adher-
ence to principle from its members than
we ever expected from those brought up
in the loose school of Radical morals. OF
course it will be the duty of our party to
wipe out much of the Ubiquitous so-called
reconstruction legislation without waiting,
as ordinarily we would prefer to do, for
the slow process Of the courts to declare it
unconstitutional and void. Conspicuous
ly in this class we may put all such acts
rs pretend to authorize Federal interior
ence in any way with the elections, either
by deputy marshals, supervisors, or bay
onets. Repeating these acts will not in
terfere with any rights the Negro may have
acquired, but will only be removing a
fruitful source of irritation between the
two races and vindicating the great doc
trine of Home Rule. These and kindred
measures of relief are imperatively de
manded by the people of the whole coun-
try. and no delay should take place in
granting them. Other measures of reform
will gradually follow. Great as is the re-
sponsibility upon our party. We have no
fear but that it will prove itself worthy OF
the confidence which the people have be
slowed upon it.

Patriotism Indebted

The temper of the Southern people is
shown in the enthusiastic response To an
appeal made by Senator Gordon, in a
speech at Atlanta, before an immense as
semblage. for a pledge "of fidelity to the
Union under the Constitution: acquies-
cence in the laws passed in accordance
with the Constitution, good or bad, until
lawfully repealed support of all rightful
cordial friendship for every man
and all men of all sections who will aid in
restoring peace to the sections, justice to
the States, liberty to the citizens, purity
to all the departments ofth Government
and the Constitution to its supremacy over
Presidents, Congress, and parties and
people" -!Sunday Gazette.

The Independent vs.. Dir. Henkle.

Our neighbors Of the Independent are still
haunted by the fear that DR.. Henkle in
tends Ito blot out" the 18th and 18th A
mendments. In its last issue it gives US
rchash of the subject and seeks to place
DR.. Henkle in antagonism with Mr.. Thomp-
son Of Massachusetts,. who so badly beat
Ben Butler. 1t gives US an extract from
the speech of the latter on the negro. and
then below it repubishes the same old eS-
tract from the speech of our member elect,
and which we have so often explained be
fore, and which evidently our neighbors
keep in type as a standing text to preach
on. We beg our friends to find new
text. Since Mr.. Hagner and his followers
have been hlotted out so effectuslly, we
think the Independent might more advan-
tageously occipy itself either b preach
ing his funeral sermon or in reconciling the
difference between him and Mr.. Dawes Of
Massachusetts,. on the Civil Rights bill; or
our friends might even more proftably
study the art of making BLACK berry
wine" Whatever they may choose to do
we are sure the repeal of the 18th and 18th
cannot be counted among
the probabilities"

TOBACCO.-The market continues very

are some lots of new ground leaves coming for
ward, and they are selling at from 81 to 81
cts. For Ohio the inquiry continues active both
from shippers and spectators, but the very
high prices now current tend to check orpera-
tons, but such sales as are making are at ex-
IRENE prices. In Kentucky and Virginia BUSH

for the overwhelming Republican defeat
by Republican papers:
Firs-The third term.
.Second-Cold water
Ihnd-Too much scratching.
Fourth-Not the right men.
