men there still exist, who would rush to
the carnival of battle against the flag of
our country with fiendish delight and
courageous daring. These men are silent
ly, nevertheless effectively working. No
outbreak against the soldiers of the army
need be apprehended now, but to those of
US who are standing in the breach for the
maintenance of the Constitution and the
Union-for the liberty and freedom of
all men-be we white or black, the hour
is indeed trying. We see our comrades
swept away like chaff before the wind
Every midnight breeze brings to us the
dying groans of some man, who has fall
en- in the cause of right and liberty. Up
to this time not single q1tite Democrat has
been murdered, outraged. or otherwise NAL
treated IN any lUag IN the State of Alabama.
The killing has all been on one side. The re-
ports even of our own suferings have
been held back from the people of the
North. The agents of the Southern
Associated Press alone furnish news to
yOur papers. Every agent of this associa-
ton in Alabama land in the South gen
erally) is rebel and a Democrat. Our
views, speeches, platforms, writings, and
actions generally are garbled and missent
to deceive the people of the North, and
convince them that the South is being
plundered by adventures; that corrup-
tion and infamy stalk forth with mon
strous iniquity in all our public places,
and that every man who dares to raise his
voice for the principles of Republicanism
is a felon, and unworthy to walk the
earth on which he lives. All these things,
and more too, have we borne in silence.
The faithful old slaves who fell upon
their knees at New Years dawn 1868, and
from their lonely huts and novels of poY-
erty and slavery sent forth prayers and
thanks to heaven for Lincoln's proclama-
ton of emancipation, are now begging
and imploring to be put back into slavery
to protect themselves and their little ones
from murder and destruction. Many,
many of my old slaves have come to me
and begged me to take them back and
save them from the reign of the drunken
desperate and the midnight marauder.
When remember that all through the
somber scenes of war, in the midst of ad-
versity and tribulation, they stood faith
full to me and mine, it makes my very
heart bleed to see them writhe and suffer
in the enjoyment (?) of that boon which
was intended to bring happiness and com
fort. I am powerless to help them, but
as long as life lasts let me appeal to my
Northern friends to stand by and protect
these sable sons of the South, who never
sung song unless it was one dedicated to
"Liberty and to Union" Shall I not
bear to my prosecuted people of all races
and colors the glad tidings that better
day is dawning. and-changing the lines
of the poet
seThat freedoms battle, once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft, is ever won.'
That the day of peace may soon come
and bring with it all the blessings ol
home and happiness, is my sincere desire
Truly yours, CHARLES HAYS.

Assassinatton.

Under this caption the Petersburg
News rants in its last number ia a man
ner' eminently distinguishing and horrify-
ing. After remarking upon the recent at
tempt in Peru and, Germany to assassin
ate Pardo and Bismarck this en1inently
humane and civilized editor says:
We have no doubt that those who at
tempted to take the life of Pardo and Bis
marck felt themselves, and perhaps their
country and religion, deeply offended and
aggrieyed by some imaginary wrong per
petrated by those statesmen, and thought
their mode'of redress justified by God and
man. But here In the South none of our
people seem ever to rise to the Importance
of such emergencies, and the greatest
scoundrels and oppressors who live within
the boundaries of the old Cohfederacy are
permitted to live and walk in the streets
and public highways without being met
by an assassin, or having their day lights
put out by pistol or dagger. Look,
for instance, at the two noted eases of
Kellogg in Louisiana, and Moses in South
Carolina. Here are two men who have
inflicted upon the people Of those States
untold injury, wrong, and oppression.
They are without their parallel in
tue u1StOEy OA NIAld1uy lnSY nave TODDe0
the people of millions of their property
imposed taxes upon them too intolerable
to be borne, and have placed the white
man under the foot of the negro. Is it
not marvel, under such circumstances,
that these two consummate landpirates
should have been permitted thus long to
live, and move, and have being? Is it
not astonishingly strange that no pistol
has been accidentally fred intO ono Of
their rotten carcasses, nor single dagger
privately Slipped between their left ribs
or into their jugulars? Bat so far Aom
any merited revenge of the kind having
ever been practiced on either of them,
even Kellogg escaped unhurt the other
day in New. Orleans, while many very
good men fell victims in the war which
that scoundrel had provoked The ways
of Providence are frequently past ind
| ing out.
But justice will come after a while, and

May that Justice come, and come quickly,

ton is not less than thirty thousand mill
ions. He who has an estate of thirty
thousand dollars cannot be distressed by
paving twenty dollars a year for six
wears. Besides, a nation which has spent
three thousand millions of treasure and
an ocean of life for peace will not hesi-
tate to spend hundred and twenty mill
ion dollars for prosperity.
The practicability of relief through
governmental action is being ascertained
by an able commission constituted by
recent act of Congress.
But whatever may or may not be expe-
dient to be done, this much seems GER
tain If the National Government is to
do anything whatever to cheaper trans
portation. only the Republican party can
be relied upon to do it. The Democratic
party has fOrsworn all such labors.
Long ago they determined the Constitu-
ton would not permit the Government
to remove an obstruction from harbor
or a river. 1t is vain to suppose they
will find now authority to build canals
or construct railways. But we are not
left in doubt as to their present DISPOSE
tions. Two votes given during the past
session, one in the Senate on Mr.. Win
dom's amendment to the river and harbor
Oil anu OhS ~ sn0 1Aouo0 Oh 1Ah- HAC a a
ry's railway bill, will prove, beyond all
doubt, that the Democrats, like the Bour-
bons, have learned nothing good, even if
they have forgot anything bad.
Upon all these considerations, for all
these reasons, we think you should send
Republicans and not Democrats to the
next Congress. If you cherish the deeds
Of the recent past, and would not see
them undone; if you respect the present,
and would not disgrace it; or if you
have hope of the future, and would re-
alize that hope, we urge you to send Re
publicans and not Democrats to the
next Congress.
Signed By all the Members of the Union
Republican Congressional Committee.

The Temperanee Question.
Extract from Hon. John Sherman s speech
SpringfeId. O.. Sept. q.

=
Extract from Hon. John Sherman's speech at
Springfield, o., Sept. 22.1
The temperance question. now comes
for the first time into politics by the act
of the Democratic party by thrusting into
the contest a resolution in favor of IL
cense. Nine-tenths of all your taxes to
enforce the laws against crime are caused
by intemperance. At every session of
Congress that 1 have been there until the
present, l have seen Senators coming
into their places staggering drunk, and
perhaps half dozen similar cases in the
House. There is no case now that know
of. Twenty-four years ago, temperance
men opposed putting license in the Con-
stitutiOn, and we have been twenty years
without license law, and think there
is less intemperance than twenty years
ago. | have examined into the matter,
and am convinced that laws to absolutely
prohibit the liquor traffic can not be en-
forced, in the existing state of public
sentiment. But we have temperance
legislation, and have had it for twenty
years, When the Republican met in
Convention, they found that the Demo
Gratis had already taken ground in
favor of the liquor traffic, going back
on their own record of twenty-foul
years ago, when the anti-license
clause was adopted. The Republican
party never made pledgeit it did not fully
perform. 1t moved in accordance will
public sentiment. It has resolved tha
the restraint of intemperance and 1T
causes, by the legislative, judicial ant
police powers of the State, and the forfei
ture of public trust for intoxication, ar
proper, and l stand by that declaration
AS to the particular form Of law, it MAJ
be local option. 1 should prefer tai
tax every liquor. seller, but they do no
license. Under a local option law tn
people have the. power to prevent tb
selling of liquor, and that tax WoUl'
not interfere with.

In 1873 special committee was ap-
pointed under House Res. No. 113, ap-
pointing committee of five members,
with authority to send for persons and
papers,
'whose duty it shall be to inquire,
and report to this House, whether any
money has been drawn from the State
Treasury without authority of law;
whether corrupt contracts or expenditures
have been made affecting the State Treas
ury, including expenditures for this Leg
islature and all contracts in that behalf,
and the construction and maintenance of
the charitable institutions of the State,
and all other expenses payable from the
funds of the State"
The chairman of this committee was
Colonel w. H. Ball, of Muskingum. 1t
had also on it Hon. Isaiah Pillars Both
these gentlemen were. able and decided
partisans, willing to take advantage OF
whatever promised advantage to their
party The committee, after long and
thorough examination, made a unanimous
report, from which we quote the two
opening paragraphs:
The examination has taken wide
range. One hundred and nine witnesses
residing in various parts of the State
have been subpenaed and examined touch
ing public contracts and expenditures
construction of public buildings, conduc
Of public institutions, etc. All matters
without reference to the date of their oc
currence, coming to the knowledge of thu
committee, that seemed to promise an.
probability of throwing any light upol
the subjects of inquiry or any of them
have been diligently inquired into.
Your committee take pleasure in re
I porting, that, so far as elective officers an,
their s1bordinates are concerned, yer.
) commendable honesty and fidelity hav
been observed; and that in the officis
conduct of no public officer, whethe
elective or appointive, has corruptio
been disclosed.
: In addition to the above we wish t
remind our readers of the confession {
Governor Allen in his Washington G. f
. speech, that after nearly twenty years {
undisturbed possession of the State gov
ernment by the Republican party, he ha
found upon diligent examination n
ground for suspicion of corruption, an
he gave frank testimony to the honest
with which the affairs of the State ha
been administered. s .. .r

Expenditures for 1884, The final tabular
staten ents of the total expenditures for the
fiscal year ending june 30, 1874, have not been
completed, but approximate estimates show
that there is no substantial difference between
the items of expenditures of the last two fs-
cal years, except as to interest and refund of
duties.
The increase of two million is caused by
the award Of the mixed commission under the
Treaty Of Washington to British claimants for

The Insurrection in New Orleans Pre-
concerted Thing.

New Orleans Dispatch, September 1871
1t is creeping out that the insurrection was
an organized movement all over the State to
be sprung on the Kellogg Government just be-
fore the election, in order to control the polls
and secure a White League election. A Re
publican in Bastrop writes to Governor Kel-
logg on the 14th inst: He..a
For your information, as Chief Executive of
this State, inform you that on last Saturday,
in this town, Colonel McEnery made a har-
angue to his followers, in which he asked those
prosentif they were willing to march to New
Orleans to instate the men of their choice; and
again, in response to a serenade, he asked how
many in the crowd were willing to march to
New Orleans, and on some responding in
the affirmative, he asked them to stand aside
in line, and on doing so he told them
that they would be expected to answer
promptly to summons to go to New Orleans.
Similar dispatches are being constantly re-
ceived, but l send this one as a sample.
THE WAY THE NJ M'ENERYITEs WE'RE INSTALLED
In, Plaquemines Parish, where the entire
Democratic vote does not exceed four hundred
and where the Republicans cast at the last
election over one thousand votes the incum-
bents under the Kellogg administration have
been ousted. and the men who ran on the
McEnery ticket installed. The same has been
| done at other places in quite as bold a manner
A gentleman who has just arrived from Mobile
| tells me that all the distance between that
| place and TINS printed proolamations rom the
! White League are posted up, commanding the
members of that organization to be ready to
answer to summons to arms at moment
notice.

White men of all parties, and every grade
of religious and moral conviction, may as
to get the negro out of politics with the least
confusion and cost. He must go, and there
is no profit in standing long upon the order of
his going. You say tits a grave question. So
it is and one that affects the moral and po-
Itical welfare of the whites to such an extent
that the negro must go out of the political
problem by legislation on the part of the States
respectively, or go to the wall in long, bloody
and fierce struggle for his defamation.

From the above figures it will be seen
that Notwithstanding the general prostra-
jtion of business during the past fiscal
year, and the fact that no new taxes have
been assessed, the public debt has been
reduced nearly five million dollars. In

tice of strict economy alone enabled the
