PUTTING THEIR ARMoR ON

The negro is rampant. lie will have

prcted his civil rights to mean his
right to marry any white girl he wish.
ed But this man is not solitary in.
stance, The Nashville negro conven-
ton of last May adopted the following
resolution
Resoired, That we will use our ut
most cndeavor to stamp, upon any
demagogue who seeks to betray the
privileges of our children TO their full
enjoyment Of impartial and equal privi-
leges with public schools, the brand OF
the traitor Judas as deserving politi-

political enemy, moro terrible TO meet
than a savage beast, more injurious
than any catastrophe that could befall
us, or any calamity that could be de-
vised by any wicked unseen power.
In the same strain are the utterances
Of Congressman A. s. Wallace, Of South
Carolina, to his colored constituents
"Your rights are in peril and you
must defend them, If you don't get
them at the ballot box you must resort
to the cartridge box
And Of T, W, Cardoza, of Mississippi,

"Bctter that tho whole State often

THE CIVIL RIGHTS QUESTION

SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE MATTER.
We clip the following remarks, bear
ing upon the leading question now agi-
tating the people of the South, from a
late number of the Richmond, (Va.)
Enquirer. The editor remarks
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad The Radical party
of the North must recognize in the re
cent wonderful Conservative or Demo
cratic victories in the Southern States,
the madness of its party leaders in at
tempting to force upon the country the
denominations of the civil rights bill.
In Arkansas, in Tennessee, in North
Carolina, and Mississippi whore recent
elections have been held, either of a
general or local character, this bill has
properly been made the great issue be-
tween the parties. The results show
that il has had the effect of welding
together all the Conservative elements
10 such an extent that they have every
where swept before them all opposition,
while in every Southern State, by the
proposal ofthis outrage, the hearts ofthc
white people have been fired with an
Indignation, that will speak in future
thunder tones at the ballot-box. The
Radicalparty has for years been march
ing up TO this issue step by step. 1t
has at last reached il face to face, and
the question is now TO be settled final
ly, shall the negro bear rule in the
Southern States. Kentucky and Ar
kansas have delivered their answers
TO this question in tones unmistakable;
while the booming cannon at Raleigh,
Nashville and Yicksburg proclaim the
white mans victory and the white
mans supremacy in white mans
country. The doctrine of absolute ne
gro equality-inculcated by the civil
rights bill-though perhaps the eonsis-
tent and logical consequence of the
tenets heretofore advanced and ad-
hered to by the Republican party,
bears with il the assurance of the de-
stmction of that party in oil the South
ern States. In view Of the insult and
uegrnoailon u neeuIcssiy anu wrong
iuiiy brings 10 the aoofs OF every mouse
hold OF the southern whites, then
hearts have been iilled with q resent
and Indignation ilerce enough,
''TO stir fever in the blood ofasc,
And make the infant 'In'w strong as STEEL
On the line laid down by the Radi-
cal party, the white manhood of all
the South will promptly rally. Gal
liant, though wronged and oppressed,
Louisiana is marsballing her forces for
the fray, Texas and Georgia will
speak with their fifty thousand MAORI
ties; Alabama win redeem herself
and find crest 2 and the true and gal
liant people ofpoor helpless South Caro-
lima, unable perhaps as yet to turn sue
cessfuIly upon their opprcssors, will
show by their action that they at least
spurn and spit upon those who en-
deavor to force the degradation upon
them. In the meantime it will become
the duty of old Virginia--thc mother
of Statcs-to express her mind on this
issue, Whit that expression will be
no man has any lust reason TO doubt

LuMBER.-On our first page will be
foundan article taken from the Philadel.
phia Press, bearing upon the lumber
interest, which should be studied by
our readers. If this wanton destrue.
tion of timberis snotmeasurably stopped
we will all be made poor within the
next ten years. If on the other hand
our dealers and land owners of timber
lands confne themselves to system
and allow the laws of demand and sup
ply to regulate the trade, we are in
the possession of n rich heritage for O
century to come. Over production il
destruction of the timber, great rcduc-
tion in wages and no profit to owners
orlaborers in this country. Thcproft;
are all for the eastern consumer.

NINETy-FlvE CENT Om-The oil
outlook is getting more gloomy every
day. Oil is worth less than one dollar
perbarel and threatensto TO be decreased
by the addition of l42 wells which are
now in process of being drilled. The
production Is about 10000 barrels per
day, which is greater than the market
demands Should there he shut
down by the refners which is threat
ened by the coming winter, there is q
gloomy prospect for both operators

discovered there must be u great exodus
from the oil country before the end OF

The MORMON GUN.-Mormondom is
Ijubilant over the reelection of Geo. @.
Cannon, one of its bright and sanity
apostles, TO seat in Congress. In
that far country of sealed wives and
muchly-married men, the women have
the privileges of the ballot and, like
dutiful and obedicnt wives, rallied no
bly, to the support of their husbands
friend and advocate of their peculiar
faith. The House of Representatives
last winter passed a bill broadly declar-
ing that polygamy was relic of bar
barism and that no polygamist should
hold Office under the United States
government. The Senate, however
neglected TO act upon the bill, and il
failed in becoming a law. The Latter
Day Saints have not scared worth a
cent, and now the question will have to
come up again when apostle Cannon
assumes his seat The polygamous
marriages of the past twelve years and
all their necessary consequences per
tanning thereto, such as children, pro
perty and inheritances, will have to be
discussed and disposed Of Our sweak-
knecd' Senate has thus gotten itself
into heap Of trouble and excited no
alarm in Utah, but only derision and
contempt.-dho0Rd Sun.

THAT'S So.-The most of the Radi-
cal organs try to explain away their
North Carolina defeat But the Chi
cago Tribune "comes down in this way:
A pitiiul way to account for the recent
overwhelming Democratic victory in
North Carolina is TO say that this is
the off-year in politics. The facts are
too hard for such mushy talk. The
Democratic majority is between 1O,-
900 and 10000 Seven of the eight
congressman are Democratic. The
Democrats gain twenty in the legisla-
tnre. Wake county, in which the city
of Raleigh is situated, has elected a

retired to the adjacent hills, and after
