For our people it is enough to know that
the Democratic party's strongest tendency
has been toward outrage against the negro.
1t cannot, therefore, receive the vote of any
but idiotic .colored men, The civil rights
issue is between the Republican party in
favor of equality before the law, and the
Democratic party whose members organize
Tor the purpose of numbering and outraging
the negro. There is no room for a third
party. There is no necessity for such party.
The Republican party must triumph this fall
and we trust colored men will not form any
combination because of which encourage
ment and success may come to the Demo.
cratic party.

Trans isSiOn Of Blond.

The Danbury Meas publishes an account Of
remarkable scientific experiment and its
results. which we give below. We do not re-
member to have read the article in the Plea
yune, but it is probable that it was suggested
by something in the scientific department of
that journal which has given to the world
faithful accounts OF resus@itatOn, suspended
animation, and the case of IL Caucasian
changed to an Ethiopian by borrowed ami
NAL fluid:
A recent medical experiment has excited
considerable amount of interest in our village.
My neighbor, Simpson, was nearly dead with
the consumption, and DR.. Hopkins at last, in
despair, concluded to try the effect of a trans
fusion of blood, of which he had heard SO
much lately. AS no human being was willing
to shed his blood for Simpson, the doctor bled
Simpsons goat, and opening a vein in Simp-
sons arm he injected about two quarts of
the blood into the patients system. Simpson
immediately began to revive, but, singular to
relate, no sooner had his strength returned
than he jumped out of bed, and twitching his
head about after the fashion of a goat, he
made savage attempt to butt the doctor.
That medical gentleman, after having Smp-
sons head plunged against his stomach three
or four times, took refuge in the closet where
upon Simpson banged his head against the
panel OF the door couple oftimes. and would
probably have broken it TO splinters had not
his mother-in-l law entered at that moment and
diverted his attention. One well directed
blow from Simpson foOred her, and then,
while she screamed for help, Simpson frolicked
around over the floor, making assiduous efforts
to nibble the green flowers in the ingram car
pet. When they called the hired man in and
tied him down on the bed, an effort was made
to interview him, but the only answer he
could give to such questions as how he felt
and when he wanted his medicine was a
'ba-a," precisely like that of the goat : and
then he would strain himself IN an effort to
butt hole in the headboard The condition
OF the patient was so alarming, and Mrs.
Simpson was SO Indignant, DR.. Hopkins de-
termined to undo the evil if possible. So he
first bled Simpson freely, and then heavily
bribing Simpsons Irishman, he procured
fresh blood from him and injected Simpson
the second time. Simpson is now as we'll as
ever, excepting that he shocks his old Re-
publican friends by displaying an irresistible
tendency to vote the Democratic ticket, and
makes his mOther-n-law mad by speaking
with Il strong brogue. But he has given up
butting, and has never INDUCED in it since
but once and that was on Sunday when one
OF the remaining cOrpuscles of goats blood
getting into his brain just as he was going into
church he butted the sexton half way up the
aisle and only recovered himself sufficiently
to apologize just as the enrased official was
about to floor him with hymnbook.

Rsy- 1t appears to be the purpose of ma
lignant rebels in Louisiana and Mississippi
intending retaliation, in kind, for the forced
miscegenation by white men in the South.
This is the last resort to give strength to
prejudice against the negro and to secure the
sympathy Of the North. The New York Sun
is an ally Of that class in the South, who
having outraged the defenceless colored
women i'll the days of slavery, pretend to fear
retaliation in the days of freedom.

bar Some of the Mississippi editors are in
boiling rage over the fact that white young
lady has married a hal white man. Whether
the gentleman's father or mother was white
we cannot learn, we, however, lean to the
opinion that it was his father. Now, there
is a moral to be found in the fact that the
man is'half white. The enraged editors of
the South will do we'll to study::it out and re-
fleet seriously upon it. Remember that the
parties causing the excitement are legally
and decently married.

THE other day an aged couple drove into
Indiana City, Ind, just as an undertaking
firm was moving into an old church which
had been purchased for a shop. The old
gentleman stood up in his wagon with his
eyes and mouth distended, as the men silently
carried coffin after coffin into the church. AT
last he turned to his awe-stricken half and
gasped: "Sary, be golly, it's cholera +!
