POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. Stevens is elected Delegate to Congress
from Arizona by over three hundred majority
by the official returns.
There is a rumor that Senator Goldthwaite,
Democrat of Ala bama, being in i'll health,
will resign; and alongside of 1t comes report
that John Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, has
been booked "for the first occurring vacancy in
the Senate of the United States"
The Providence Journal very caHdidiy and
justly says: 'While party lines are by no
means drawn upon the financial question, and
although among the champions on both sides
are prominent men of each party, still it is
plain that the strength of a sound currency is
mainly with the Republicans, and the strength
of imitation mainly with the Democrats"
During the recent visit of Senator Cameron
to this city he paid a friendly, social visit to
the President. The correspondent of the New
York World telegraphed that journal that the
President and Senator Cameron during that
visit had some angry discussion in reference to
the causes that produced the defeat of the
Republican party on November 3. Senator
Cameron says of this World story: "There is
not a word of truth in that report. l sat q
half hour talking to the President, and politics
were never once alluded to during all the time
l remained in his company"

hire oct in the same way any person who
is under sentence of imprisonment for non
payment of a fine, until he has worked out
the amount Of the fine; or any person who
will pay the fine may have the conyict's
labor. The third and most remarkable
section provides that call persons confined
Gin Jail on a charge of having committed a
'tmisdemeanor or petty ofense may be en-
''ployed in like manner from the time ofim-
'prisOnment until the time of trial, and if,
'upon trial, such person shall be acquitted
che shall be paid not less than twenty-five
Scents nor more than one dollar per day, as
"the presiding justice may contract The
fourth requires sheriffs to capture escaped
convicts and return them to their employ
ers, in which case all the labor previously
performed is forfeited, and the convict is
compelled TO reconlmence his term Of labor,
and continue until the expiration of the full
time of the contract made by the Justice.
Here we have the details in full of the
great conspiracy for the overthrow of the
results of the war. First. on the authority
Of an eX-United States Senator, we learn
that the prospect for payment of claims of
this character is encouraging. Second, we
learn that a Democratic Legislature has
instituted the sale of the service of human
beings on the block by law, as slaves were
sold before the emancipation. 1t will be
noticed that a simple charge Of crime is suf-
ticient; and although the law apparently
applies to blacks and whites alike, no one
will deny that it is blow aimed at the
former. 1t gives power to the old slave
masters to revive their control over their
former chattcls. Under White League
domination, how easy it will be to place
every black man in the State in slavery
again under trumped-up charges, and to
continue them under new leases of bond
age by new series of charges. A fine Of
one or two thousand dollars imposed upon
a freedman would keep him in slavery dur
ing his entire life. His wages, at twenty
five cents day, would not pay his board,
&c, and the result would be his virtual re-
enslaYement under task-masters none the
most scrupulOus. The friends of liberty
and good government will do wisely if they
watch these proceedings closely.

eLATERY RE.ESTABLLsHED.

A special telegram from this city to the
Chicago Inter- Ocean contains the assertion
that since the election certain persons in
the State of Florida have engaged in buy
" ing claims for slaves, actually paying
q cash for this class Of claims in some in
q stances 800 each having been paid. "
The dispatch adds that among others en-
gagged in this business is X-ScnatOr Yulee, "
and vouChes for the information as reliable.
We have already called attention to this
project, and have reprinted in our editorial
columns the advertisement of Georgia adj
YentUTer, who invested so much faith in
the scheme as to incur the expense Of ad-
veTtising. OF course, he must have received
some encouragement, and, like Yulee, of
Florida, felt confident of profit from rs
venture. No man who has studied the
character Of the Southern people, who
knows how fOndly and earnestly they be-
llcvcd in their right TO hold property in
human flesh, will deny that they are in
earnest when they seek recon-, ensc for
their losses in slave property. They know
that the Republican party will reject their
claims, and they hope that the DemC cratic
party will allow them. They know that
the Republican party will hold inviUla,e
the express and implied terms Of the war
amendments TO the Constitution, and
that the Democratic party will re-
woke or ignore and violate them.
Hence their anxiety for Democratic success
and their support OF the Democratic party.
But they have proven themselves to be eX-
Ceedingly indiscreet. Since the election
they have shown their hands in such an
unmistakable manner, not only by means
Of the advertisement TO which we have al
luded, but in other respects, as to brighten
the Northern people with a certainty that
if the Democracy succeed in getting con-
troll Of the General Government the slaves
of the South will be paid for and the debt
of the country increased tenfoId for the
benefit of men who sought to destroy our
nationality.
Another practical illustration of the in
tense desire of the Southern Democracy to
restore the ante beEZum condition of affairs,
as well as their reliant faith in human
slavery. is to be found in the
recent enactments of the Democratic
Legislature of Texas. That body,
composed almost entirely Of Democrats, is
now endeavOring to deprive the colored
man practically of his freedom, and g re-
store him to a condition of vassalage little,
if any, better than absolute slavery. 4
glance at the provisions of the infamous
measure to this end, which has actually
passed the lower House of the Texas Legs
lature, shows that ii means to Cypress, de.
grade and outrage the freedmen to the high
est degree. The first section of the plan
under this new departure provides that
when any person is convicted of an offence
in the courts, the presiding Justice of the
county can employ such. person to labor
on the public works or roads during the
whole term of his Imprisonment, or he
NAV hire him out to the highest bidder.

A SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC PAPER, al
luding to the recent articles in this journal
in regard to the duty Of the Republican
party TO revive the dropping industries of
the country, says With this painful fact
" before 'workingmen and mechanics, ,
81 the idle gable of good times from a
&c Republican Congress is an insult adj
ded to an injury, and we are much mis-
e taken in their temper and spirit if they
q allow themselves to be fooled and de-
q luded by promises which experience has
e shown them are as idle as the winds,
and as treacherous as ice in the sun
g shine The Opposition press, North
and South, recognizes the immense advan
tage which the policy we have advocated
would give the party hence their efforts
10 belittle and decry it. If our leaders in
Congress are wise, they will take imme-
diate and effective steps in this direction.
The party has won the most stupendous
victories in all history. To restore rros-
perity is the easiest task it has yet under
taken. Who will lead the way?

upon Mr.. Douglas of melting an assault upon
Mr.. Seuer, the Conservative press Of Virginia
was endeavoring to throw the blame upon the
latter, and the Associated Press agent at Rich
mond was aiding, by sending equally prejddiced
statements of the matter all over the country.
Now that Mr. Douglas has been indicted for
a criminal offence by him committed in public
debate, by which the life of prominent citi-
zen of Virginia was in such jeopardy that but
for the prompt rescue by his friends his death
would have resulted, the country will not be
satisfied with less than fair and impartial
investigation. The fact that he is indicted at
all, under the circumstances, leads us to hope
that an impartial investigation will be had,
and the part played by Mr.. Douglas in the dis
graceful affair laid bare to public gaze.

THE DEMOCRATIC organs and orators are
just now urging that the duty Of their party
is 10 conciliate Republicans and show their
appreciation of their services in the late
elections This is all mOonshine. The
Democrats of New York have a chance to
reward Mr.. Fenton, who has been working
for them for nearly three years. by re-
elccting him to the Senate but they have
no more idea of doing it than of sending a
straight-out Republican as his successor.
The same is true of General Banks. Not
single Democratic paper in the country
names him for the Speakership of the
House. Mr.. Fenton and Mr.. Banks afford
two splendid illustrations of the gratitude
of the Democratic party.

OUT IN ILLINOIS they have an Anti-Secret
Society Association, which occasionally diverts
itself and amuses those who read its proceed
ings in the daily papers, by passing solemn re-
solves that all secret societies are a delusion,
enemies to Christian morals, and a standing
danger to the State. At present these weak
lings of Illinois are directing their puny thun-
der against the Masonic Order, and startling
themselves with the publication of such stories
as the " fe-fo-f-fIm " Of that highly sensa-
tional work Of the nursery known as "Jack
the Giant Killer" The anti-secret society in
noceHts are exposing all the terrible secrets of
the Masonic lodge-rOom, and the tale they are
unfolding must freeze the blood of the ninnies
who are so credulous as to accept them. Ac-
cording to the anti-secret people, the Masons

that they cut each others Threats and tear out
tongues for exposing any Of the secrets of the

addition to having his windpipe rent in twain
and his tongue torn out by the roots, has his
heart and bowels removed and cremated in a
frSing-pan, while the faithful dance around
the blue flames, waving their CORY hands and
shrieking "Jubila, Jubilo, Jubilum;'' and there
are men and women I'm Illinois and elsewhere
who believe this twaddle of the Anti-Secret So
ciety Association. Perhaps it would be as SEN
sible to accept their harmless nonsense as to
srt about refuting it. So long as the anti-secret
sinpletons commit no breach Of the peace, let
them harrow themselves with CORY visions OF
"Jubila, Jubilo, and Jubilum."
