Quiet Reigns In Warsaw.

The rebel democracy recently held an cleo
ton for members of the Legislature and made
clean sweep. Though there is a colored
vote of 10000 in the State and of a total
vote Of about 200, 200, besides the white Re-
publicans, there were only IA Republicans
elected to the Legislature to 2l9 select Dem
ocrats, that is, with nearly half the vote of
the State, the Republicans have only one
fifteenth part of the representatives, so COM
pletely are the colored voters excluded from
the polls by armed ku-Klux or White
Leaguers. Gen. Hill and Gen. Toombs re-
Gently explained how the rebels succeeded
in acquiring such absolute control Of the
State, and silencing all opposition to them.
Peace literally reigns in Georgia, but it is
the peace which absolute tyranny, oppression
and terror produces. The voice Of the mi
nority, large as it is, is silenced, and appar-
emily for ever in that model rebel State. 1t
is at the price Of his life, or at least to its
great danger that Republican attempts to
vote there, and to entertain Republican opin-
ions, or loyalty to the Government, subjects
a citizen not only to direct outlawry but to
every sort Of indignity if white and to the
grossest outrages if black. That is what a
Democratic triumph would bring to every
Southern State. "Dead niggers cast no Re-
publican votes" is the motto Of Georgia aud
other rebel Democratic States.

mitted. This ;rn.mrkai.i, ,eCisiOn will pre-
sent the question su'mrciy to the people of
the nation whether the General Government
has any power to preserve the lives, liberty,
and property of its citizens, or whether it
must stand idly by and see the States not
only rob large class of law-abiding citizens
Of their civil and political rights, but sacri-
fee their lives with perfect impunity. The
position Of Judge Ballard IS as absurd and
untenable as it is dangerous. The people of
the States We haye named have no more
mercy and justice to expect from the courts
than the lamb has from the wolf. The issue
must therefore be met by the people whether
their Government has the right to protect all
classes of citizens at home as we'll as abroad,
or whether their sole reliance is to be upon
States which has permitted ten thousand
murders, and the manning of thirty thousand
others, all for their political opinions, with
out the punishment or the attempted punish
ment of a single one Of the criminals.

A warning Ia the People.

BY some inscrutablc plan of Providence,
probably for the purpose Of furnishing fear
full warning to the people of other States to
avoid such a calamity, Connecticut was per-
mitted last spring to elect Democatic Gov
ernor aud Legislature. And if anything
could deter the people of other States from
following its bad example, it would be the
performance Of its Legislature. Besides
electing a malignant Southern sympathizer
during the rebellion, and one the most unre-
lenting of all negro haters to the Senate Of
the United States, it performed some other
rare exploits. Among others, the registry
laws of the State was changed in the interest
offraudulent voting. Able and upright officials
were turned out of Office to make room for
VIGOROUSLY corrupt and incompetent and I'M
worthy "ring" politicians. Cities were shame
fully gerrymandered SO as to place them I'M
der ring control, so as to stihe the voice Of
the people as far as possible, and the princi-
pies Of law and self-government trampled
under foot and spit upon, as in New Haven,
when a new and Objectionable charter was
forced upon the people against their wishes.
and in spite Of their remonstrances. This is
the real spirit of Democracy everywhere.
The peoples rights are nothing-their own
party interests everything.

The Paradise of SOrehenA..

The Liberal Republican "seeins to have
become, lift ever was any thing else, a COM
bination composed exclusively of soreheads,
disappointed political adventures, and
chronic GROWERS. II any honest Republican
ever took refuge in this hospital Of political
invalids under the notion that there was some
great abuses in the Republican party which
could only be refined by such an organiza-
ton, they soon discovered their mistake and
returned to their first love, leaving to keep
up the Liberal" or independent farce
only those whose sympathies were really
with the rebel democracy. Amongst those
who still remain in this paradise of soreheads
laboring to restore the rebel democracy to
power under the false pretence of reforming
the party they have deserted are such men as
Senators Schurz, Fenton, and Upton, White
of the Chicago and Reid of the New York
Tribune, Gen. Fitz Henry Warren, Gratz
Brown, John Cochrane, Gov. Curtin, Gov.
Palmer, and Lyman Trumbull, Of Illinois,
Gov. Yarmouth, Cassius NJ. Clay, Austin
Blair, of Michigan, Alex. Mcclure, Charles
A. Dana, J. W. Forney, George w. Julian,
J. NJ. Ashley, ]. F. briggs, ex-senator Ham,
ilton, Of Texas, and Warner, of Alabama.
What little power, even for mischief, this Sc
lect company Of afflicted patriots ever had,
has departed and with it all their courage.
They have not the pluck any longer to nom
mate ticket anywhere, but are everywhere
holding out their hats to the democrats for
whatever mite they see fit to give them in
the distribution Of candidates. Next to
yearning anxiety for sop Of some kind is
their desire to defeat the Republicans. But
ia that they are as impotent as they are dis
honest and presumptuous. Even those to
whom they are rendering their services really
despise them, their strength is so nearly ex-
hausted.

Secession under another Name.

The doctrine of State Rights, which was
only the proper name for secession, disunion,
and treason, became so odious to the people,
by the bloody fruits it has produced. that the
Democratic party have become afraid any
longer to fight boldly under that flag: so
they have changed its name to "Home Rule"
This, Of course, means the same thing and
embodies the same principle besides sound
ing little less odious to the people. The
Democracy probably have another motive.
Home Rule" is name dear to the Irish
heart, and by its adoption they hope to pre-
vent any detection amongst the Celtic auxil-
iaries. In the Democratic vocabulary, it
means the right as we'll as the determination
of the "white men," (rebels) Of the South, TO
rule the Southern States and remain in the
Union or Withdraw from it at their pleasure.
They deny the right of the Federal Govern
ment to interfere in the affairs Of the States,
even so far as to guarantee them Republ-
can form of government, as the Constitution
requires, or to protect the lives and property
and civil rights of their citizens. This is a
privilege that belongs solely to them, they
claim, by the "Higher Law" of State Rights,
and yet it is one that they systematically and
wickedly refuse to exercise. State Rights,
alias "Home Rule" is cloak not only for
treason, but outrage. violence, and murder.

Fsia FreE Negro in the SDiit.,,

Since his emancipation the negro has been

slavery OF centuries to free citizenship with

of mongrelizatiOn. He votes 10 break down

The New York Tribune at present fur
nishes no protests against such language, but
when the journal founded by Horace Gree

ace Greeley, it talked as follows, as quoted
by the Chicago Inter- Ocean:
" All do know that there are several hun
dred thousand muiattoes in the country; and
we presume that no one has any serious
doubt that the fathers of at least nine tenths
of them are white Democrats. We assert
that Democrats, if they will have yellow
children, might better than otherwise treat
the mothers respectively as wives after the
laudable pattern of that eminent Democrat.

Protection or COlOred Citizens.

Within few days decision has been rem
dered bya Federal Judge Of Kentucky, that
the United States courts in the case of col
ored men seeking the protection Of the Gen.
eral Government, and that it devolves wholly
upon tie States to protect their citizens.
According to this decision every act Of Con
gross designed to protect the people of a
State is null and void. Congress has no
right to legislate upon the subject, and the
United States courts have no Jurisdiction in
such cases. This will leave the colored men
of Virginia, North Carolina. Georgia, Texas,
and some other Southern States to the abso-
Lutte mercy Of the authorities of such States.
They will have no remedy against the out
RACES Of White Leagues and other secret
assassins, except such as courts composed Of
these very secret conspirators or in their In
terest. Since the war ended, these rufiians
have murdered ten thousand Reput-
licans, most of whom were colored men, and
MANNED thirty thousand more, besides the
numerous other outrages they have COM
