Call the opposition to Republican rule
in the South by what name you please,
its inspiration grows out of all intense de.
sire to be remunerated for war losses, and
q determination to get control Of Cor
gress and the Federal Government in or.
der to have those losses paid. Every
Democrat in the South is fully resolved
that all claims for the loss Of slaves and
other property shall be- paid, the tax on
cotton refunded, and the rebel soldiers or
their widows pensioned. Already regis,
tries have been opened in Georgia and
some other Southern States for the entry

e MAN TO HIS POST.

% The Democracy is nov engaged in
the most desperate effort ever made
In this District TO eject their candidates
TO the different offices, and the success
of the Republican ticket will depend
entirely upon how We exert ourselves
in the coming contest at the polls.
Let every Republican be at his post on
the day Of the election and let us have
nc division in our ranks. We have at
last succeeded in getting a clear track
for Congress and members of the Leg
islature and there is nothing toprevent
US from making a clean sweep except
our own carelessnesS. We suffered
from this in the last election. Shall
we allow ourselves to fail q second
time from the same oause2 nns.. 81.

THE COUNTY ~sUPERINTEN.
DENT. ..-

In the canvass for Representative
the County Superintendent and his la.
bors have been pretty fully discussed.
Some of the candidate, think the
office is a useless one. Others argue
that it is essentially necessary and
worth more to the county than it costs.
The only question is the cost. All
agree to this, at least, we gathered so
much from their discussions. Six hun.
dred dollars is too much to pay for su.
p%erintending the schools. That is one
view Of the case. If the County Su.
p%erintendent could afford to work for
nothing there would be NO objection to
the office. The chief objection to the
SUPPLEMENTARY lists cost.
Another objection. The County
superintendent is paid out of the
school money. This matter is so poor.
ly understood by those who oppose
paying for experimenting the schools
that they imagine that the County Su-
perintendent's salary, if applied TO the
payment Of teachers, would prolong
the schools a month or two, but the
facts are that the schools would be
prolonged just one Geek. Now the
question presents itself: Which is bet
ter to pay six hundred dollars for SUI
pervision or to p%rolong the schools one
week without supervision?
The candidates have declared pub
licly on several occasions that the
schools have succeeded better under
the present law than under any sys-
ten that the State wei had. We have
had a number of school laws passed by
the Legislature. The great defect of
each was the want of efficient supervi.
sion. Every law deficient in this par.
ticular will fail just as all the others
have done. Cut off State and County
Supervision and the present law will
prove a signal failure. 1t will be no
better than the county system. So
then, for a man to say he is in favor of
free schools and at the same time adj.
vocate a policy that will effectually de-
stroy the school system is, to say the
least,'of it, an awkward position for a
a sensible man to occupy. We desire
to have this matter fully and freely
discussed. If a school system can be
built up without supervision let those
who think so come out and volunteer
their services for the love they bear
the cause. Let them show their faith
by their work. If Tennessee can Sc.
cure for tie 400, 900 children an eff.
cient system of public free schools,
the next gener alton will never stop to
ask how much it cost.

Editors Chronicle : As the day of the
election draws near the prospects for a
Republican victory grows brighter. The
Democrats have harped on their one
string of the "Civil Rights Bill" so long
that the people are getting tired of the
mono.onous tune, and are not to be led
astray by it any longer. Everybody can
now see the fallacy of their argument,
that men must vote the Democratic tick
ct if they want to show their opposition
to the measure, and consequently every
true Republican will stand by his party,
which in this State is as strongly opposed
to forcing social equality upon the PEG
pie as the Opposition are. Indeed, /
have never heard a single man, black or
white, say he wanted the bill passed.
But | have heard Of one. He was a

A Shot from the Pulpit.

The pulpit should at oil times be the
conservator of the public peace. 1t should
discourage armed instruction it should
condemn all things hat tend to strife 1t
should hold up patience, charity. for.
bearance as the golden virtues of intelli.
gent citizenship. When a minister preach
es treason from the pulpit he has turned
aside from his ministry, aud is no longer
the messenger Of peace and good will.
He has deserted the cause of his meek
and lowly Master who conquered His ct.
emies by the power of love, and who re.
preached his disciples when they drew
their swords to defend Him. In a word,
the minister who breaches from the pull
pit armed resistance to the constituted
authorities in this free land is little re.
moved from an emmissary of the devil.
The general tone Of the Southern pull.
pit has been commendable, The gospel
of peace has been preached, and men
have been taught that reason is the strong.
est weapon that a free people can WELD
to protect their constitutional rights.
Now and then one of the old fashioned
blood %-and.thunder preachers, who believe
in converting men at the murzle of a
shot gun, and who subordinate the Lord's
commission to the one they bear from,
Democracy, comes to the front and tells
his brethren how happy he is that the
Lord has taken side with the mob, and
henceforth.. Democracy anu religion are to
move OIL hand in hand to conquer and
c~ivilize the land. OF this class we have
a fair sample in one Rev. DR.. Markham,
Of the Lafayette Presbyterian church,
New Orleans. The first Sabbath after
tho McEnery rebellion, September 20,
this appointed messenger of peace mounts
ed his pulpit and with ferveut voice gave
thanks for the successful overthrow Of
the Kellogg government. lie said:
MANY things cheer me and l feel ike
another being to-day. The first thing
which stirs my soul is the wonderful
success which has attended our just and
righteous cause. In one short hour that
so>called government which has oppress>
ed and ground us down and had tyranized
and terrorized our people and trampled
ruthlessly in the dust under its merciless
and craven heels the most sacred and the
dearest rights of man. a government
which by its practices bad rendered the
very name of liberty a byword and a re-
proach, fell. In enc short hour, ! say, it
fell /; fell vs. the tree by the axe of the
sturdy woodmau, even as the grain before
the reaper, Gods hand was in it. He
is just. si ..l IT
..In conclusion, let us say that the as
s~crtiens and very determined expressions
of those among Us whom some, forsooth,
may term madmen as to the fate await
ing our corrupt and oppressive rulers,
invites my sanction and appeal to me for
sympathy. causing my heart to leap With
honest JOY within my breast. Resistance
to tyranny is obedience to Cod He
who would be free must himself strike
