The New York Times is sending its
Commissioner through Louisiana on
horseback 1.-THE New York Tribune
has its representative taking notes
among all classes in Alabama, and the
Instructions of both are to ascertain
thecondition of races and parties in
these States. and the attitude of each
to the other. The testimony is unusu-.
ally full and Intelligent, taken from
whites and negroes, Democrats and
Republicans. By the reports of the
Tribune correspondent the political
murders in Alabama are reduced to
two. of which Billings and Ivey were
the victims, and the latter is the one OF
whom Postmaster General Jewell said
that if he had been attending to his
business instead of circulating incen-
diary documents aud speeches among
the negroes, he would not have been
molested. The inevitable conclusions
are that no Ffreign OF terror" exists,
and that the State authorities are fully
able to keep the peace. The CORES
pendent of the Times is satisfied that
there is not and has not been intimi-
dation in those portions of Louisiana
from which the worst stories have
come. He saw registration going on
among all parties freely aud fearlessly
and he sums up his convictions by ex-
pressing the belief that if the Kellogg
grip was taken from the throats of the
people The Democrats and Conserva-
tive Republicans would unite for the
of the State. Thus day
by day the outrage business melts
inte thinner and thinner air, and the
conviction grows that the
head of the National Department of
Justice has encouraged these malicious
and wicked falsehoods because he saw
no other way of saving his party and
personal chances. Happily he has
been been hoisted on his own petard,
and stands condemned before he can
reap the reward of this seeming pros
Iitation of his high Office.

What the Republican Party Has Done *
The New York Sun, in an editorial
on the Republican platform of Mass
achusetts, sums up what the Republl
can party has doue in the past few
wears. Among other things mention
tioued by the Sun are the following
This party voted all tue iliquitons
laws by which military despotism
has been erected on the ruins OF civil
liberty i'll the reconstructed States,
the people have been robbed, crushed,
aud outraged, aud carpet baggism es-
tablished as the corner stone of the
Republican creed. ~ aaf
This party voted all the huge APP
preparations of public money for the
most extravagant expenditures in time
of peace, and Installed that corruptlng
system by which fraud, perculation,
and profligaey are recognized as
among its leading principles.
This party voted the back pay grab
and the salary steal under the lead OF
a Massachusetts man, and the whole
delegation in the House from that
s ate appropriated the stolen money.
This party voted the Sanborn con-
tracts, Sambnrn being massachusetts
man, aud Mr. Richardson and Mr..
SAWYER, two other Massachusetts
men, administered the job As Il COM
mon estate, with B. f. Butler as coun-
sci, to make it complete.
This party voted the Jayne jobbery,
by W llich the merchants were plumber
cred and prosecuted nj the same time,
under the benig guant management OF
Massachusetts men.
This party created the Washington
Ring, and voted five millions OF the
peoples money to make it prosper,
with sfretainers" and "fees" for the
best talent of Massachusetts,
This party voted the gag law last
session to muzzle the press and silence
Threatened exposures OF still Yaster
corruption than has yet come to light.
This party is answerable for all the
wicked and venal legislation in Con-
gress, and for the scandalouE appoints
ments to Office, by which the whole
public service has been demoralized.
1t is responsible now for the terrible
condition of the South, made so tore-
tain political power by armed inter-
vention and intimidation there, and

A Clear YiolatIon Of Law.

An exchange notices the fact that
during the political canvass, every
Radical paper in this State was fur
nished with political documents to be
folded in their issues and distributed
through the mails. Here is down
right swindle u1bn the Post Office
Department, and it is the duty of
every Post Master to bring the guilty
parties to justice and made pay the
fine imposed for the offense. But it
will not be done. They belong to
/" our party" and 1t is all right | The
Republican party is SO used to sWind-
ling and corrupt practices, that it
looks upon it as one of the first ac-
quirements to find a place in its ranks.

Hon. aohr @. Thompson.

The following well deserved tribute
to the ability and energy with which
Hon. john G. Thompson managed the
recent campaign, is take FROM the
Mansfield Shield and Banners:
While we rejoice over our great
victory, let us not forget the man
whose name heads this ariicle-Chair-
man of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee. 10 his untiriBg en-
ergy, shrew management and earnest
efforts, are we indebted more than to
anything else, for victory such as we
have not had for years, and which
places Ohio, our own great State, in
the front rank of the grand old Dem
ocratic army, and insures, beyond a
doubt, the election of a Democratic
President in 1876. Day after day,
and we might add, almost night after
night, has he toiled and labored with
out fee or reward, to bring about this
grand result. Let us rejoice and be
glad. All honor to John G. Thomp-
son.

Nebraska Letter.


EDITOR PREss.-Tt has been so long
since 1 took up my pen in the literary
circle that do not know but you
have given the little space donated to
my epistles, TO some more capable
correspondent. Many changes, some
sad, some joyful have taken place
since last addressed you. Death has
entered our little band and taken away
our youngest treasure, and only those
who have suffered in like manner can
tell the aching void left behind. But
we sorrow not as those without hope,
for it said that of "such is the kingdom
of heaven"
| Our beautiful country was fright
fully deVasted in its season of greatest
promise of plenty. You have doubtless
read enough of the grasshopper
scourge to render any description of
it by me unnecessary. Suffice it to
say, we were in the midst of the very
section of country passed over by them
and suffered keenly from their work
Of destruction. The exceedingly dry
weather also affected us somewhat al
though the late rains did something
toward remedying that. The settlers
on the extreme frontiers are, perhaps,
the worst suffers, but the State is TAX
ing measures for their relief. Many
however are becoming discouraged at
the prospect of the winter near at
hand, with so poor preparations to
meet it, and are abandoning their
claims some to return in the spring,
others preierring to loose their i'm
proveanents than to run the risks OF
remaining.
The corn crop in this section was a
complete failure; the wheat was only
a moderate yield, owing TO the dry
weather, it being too far advanced 10
be injured by the hoPPefs'
Potatoes small and scarce; Oats
light; Barley an average crop. Barley
is one of the staple productions and
sells readily at 60cts. per bushel.
Farmers are busily engaged in Fall
plowing for next springs seading
which, from present indications, will
be very abundant. Large herds of
cattle are still on the prairies, each at
tended by thesinevitable small boy on
horse back, or leisurly walking behind
while the pony grazes unconcernedly
in the midst of the cattle. If he be
near dwelling he is generally seen
riding at full speed and cutting many
fantastic capers, to the evident delight
and envy of his less fortunate associ-
ates.
We held our first Agricultural Fair
here on the oath and 25th Of Sept, and
to those who are inclined to think that
Nebraska is dead letter, say wish
you could have been here to see; for
it was success financially and other
wise.
Being a woman, and having no de-
sire to vote or otherwise mix myself
up in politics, wiz not mention any
particulars of the late elections, for
doubtless you are already well inform
ed as regards them from the papers.
Feeling that my letter is already
trespassing in length on your crowd
ed columns will close, adding that
spite of grasshoppers or dry weather
or disconraging prospects in gener al,
Nebraska is stlll the place for begin
ners. BELLE BIGELow.
