POLITICS NO SHIELD.

The Virginia Enterprise republishes
the remarks Of the St. Louis Democrat
upon the charge made against Nj. Groes-
beck of Ohio, viz: That he bribed the
City Council Of Cincinnati. The Demo-
crat concludes with these words:
Mr.. Groesbeck has been an elder in
the Presbyterian Church for many years,
and has been often mentioned as Dem
cratic candidate for the Presidency. If
he had been Republican, the independ-
ent press would have united in howl OF
execration against the bogus Christian
statesman who used his money for cor
rupt purposes.
Now, for one OF the independent press,
We say if Mr.. Groesbeci has done wrong
let him be punished. We don't care
whether he is Republican or Demo-
crat, or anything else A mans politics
does not urge him to commit crime, it is
his own native Unborn lack of principles.
That's what's the matter with all your
professional politicians. They do not
care straw for the politics per Sc, but
what can be made out OF them is the
point. But a party Journal never de-
nounces any yillainy, however great,
when it is committed by the org anizatior
with which it afliliates. Look at the
Custom frauds, the Inland Revenue
stealings, the wholesale devastation o.
the South, the Credit Mobilier, ETC., no
a Republican journal lifted its voice tc
condemn them, and it was only until i
was useless to deny it, that they woult
admit the existence OF these gigantic rob
berries. Probably Democratic papers
would be much the same still it is worth.
of remark that the most determined of
Tenders, defenders and apologists of thes
iniquties are found in the Republican
ranks and fill the most prominent office
in the gift of the nation.

they can do is to keep cool and hunt
items about other matters rather than
their own personal affairs.

OUR local railroad, the Virginia and

eered through the late great storm.
The worst piece OF road to keep open
was that lying between Franktown and

dows of the cars, and it seemed to pile in
upon the road about as fast as it could be
shoveled out by the army of men EN-
ployed at that point. 1t is well for our

road, and having it that it is kept con-

The quiet of our town was disturb

desecrated by scenes of turbulence
and violence which we hope never to
witness again. It seems that on Sun
day last one Ned Tenant, colored,
Captain of a militia company in the
neighborhood of Republican Church,
some fourteen miles below us, called
out his troops for the purpose of drill,
and God knows what else; that about
eleven o'clock on the same night this
militia CAPTAIN got up, commenced
beating his drum furiously, called to-
gether his company, and alleged that
his house had been fred into by
whites, and that he wanted his militia
for the protection of his own person.
The whites in the vicinity were natu-
rally alarmed, and assembled quickly,
sending out couriers at the same time
to various sections of the country, and
to the garrison of Federal troops at
this post to give information that the
negroes were assembling for some ap-
parently violent purpose, and their
assistance was necessary to quen the
riot.

Grand Sire Durham is an old mem

member of the order for forty-one
years. His long service in subordi-
nate, State and National Bodies are
well known, while his zeal and ability

Ku-Kluxing them and taking their

for five years, and that he was at their
house at the time of the affair. they
were unable to identify him. When

From the Chicago Times, 21st.
A Northern Paper Declares for Mile
tary Government.
1t (the Kellogg government is q
monstrosity that ought not to be tole-
rated for day. Better, a thousand
times, that the whole nation should
welcome back the state of open war,
with honest military government in
every Southern State, than this mailed
despotism under the mocking mask of
false name should go any further.
The pretense that republican form
of government exists in Louisiana is
false and fraudulent. The Kellogg
government is mo more a republican
form of government than that now ex-
ecuted in Central Asia by the invading
armies of the Gar is republican. It
is military government in fact, no
matter what it may be called in name.
1t is a government deriving every
power that it exercises, or can exercise,
from the bayonet. It is government
of the sword, not of the people; insti-
tuted by the sword, not by the popular
will; upheld by the sword alone, and
certain to disappear if the sword were
sheathed. It is the worst kind OF mill
tary government, in that it is fraudu-
lent and dishonest kind, pretending
not to be that which it is. It is gov
eminent wholly external to the Fed
eral Constitution, finding no warrant
for its existence in that instrument, and
upheld in defiance of it. It is a gov
eminent of war under the shallow and
hypocritical pretense of being o gov
eminent of peace.
