Political Speaking.

Richard America Cold, made 4
speech to the colored citizens on last
Thursday evening. Richard is sue
cess as a talkist, but rs a thinkiSt he
IS a failure. Although he is elec
tioncering for Hall, he seems t5be
of the opinion that the colored people
ought not to vote at the October cleo
ton. He said; 'If any oh you C /
lud gemmen 90 to de polls in October
an use your exertions for de Demo
cratic party, dat very instep de bones
ID ole Uncle Charley Sumner will
move in de grave" We don't be-
lieye it, or unless Mr.. Sumner Is a
d'gnifed corpse. he will belle his
whole life, and no dignifed corpse
''moyes in his grave" But suppose
he does move in his grave, it won't
make an earthquake.
As Hereford is Democrat, and
Hall processes to be better Demo
crat than Hereford, We do not see
where the colored folks are going.
Adistinguished independent ed
itor Of this place, we are Informed,
followed Richard America, and adj
vised all he colored folks to vote for
Hall.
DR.. Long said that he did not see
much difference IN the candidates,
but he would rather trust a square
man, who told what his principles
we're. than one on the fence, as you
could never tell where he was going
to drop.
The doctors head is level, and
Richard America need not think he
can throw dust in his eyes. DR.. Long
has more sense and ability than Ri( h
ard. and he makes better use of what
he has, too. If Mr.. Hall had wanted
to hire colored man to speak for
him, it would have paid him a great
deal better TO hire Doctor Long than
Richard.

Louisiana.

One Of the notable incidentspf the
past week has been am uprising w
Louisiana, by which the Kellogg gov
eminent which was forced upon the
people of the State by the bayonets
OF the Federal Army. was over
thrown, and the Governor who was
elected by the pecplewas putin pow
err. But as Grant had recognized
Kellogg as the Governor, he was
compelled to support hun, and al
though Kellogg is usurper, yet the
revolution by which he was turned
out was wrong. and it vas great
mistake for the people to engage in
it Any government is preferable
to anarchy, and If State governments
we're subject to a revolutiomzing by
the people when they have the power
TO overturn them, there would be a
very uncertain state of affairs. The
action of the people was right, per'se,
in putting The McEnery government
in power, and yet the L. S. Govern
ment was right in re Installing kel'
logg. The revolution. however, was
not against the Federal Government,
but against the corrupt government
of Kellogg, and when the demand
was made by United States officers,
the NEnery government at once sur
rendered. Everything is now quiet,
but the people of the State are great
" exasperated that these thieves and
villains who have been ruling over
them for years, should be taken un-
der the care of the United States
Government.
IN episode Of the times occurred
during the reign of Gen. Emory,
which shows to what indignities the
people are compelled TO submit. a
despatch was received from the Sher-
If and citizens of Bayou Sara, one Of
the interior towns of the State, ask
ing that troops might he sent there
to protect them against gang Of ne
groes, who were besieging the town
and threatening to burn it
We have not heard what the re-
suit was, but there had been some
hard fighting, and there were several
wounded There were one hundred
white men defending the town against
six or seven hundred negroes. At
last accounts the negroes had been
rep1lscd.

TIE Democrats of the 18th Dis
triet of Ohio have nominated JohnL
Vance, Esq, editor Of the GallipoIis
Bulletin, for Congress. We have not
the pleasure of a personal acquain-
lance with Col. Vance, but judging
from the tone and general conduct of
his paper, he is a gentleman of ability,
candor, and a thorough and efficient
Democrat.
The Bulletin is one of the best con.
Quoted and best looking papers that
comes to our office. Its editorials
display more than ordinary ability,
and its columns show that it is popu
lar and well patronized.
As a rule, the Democrats Of Ohio
are eminently Conservative, aod are
the true representatives, of popular
government. Col. Vance is no ex-
ception TO thissrule. We hope he
will receive an abundant majority.
and that we will hail him as NJ. c.
elect after the election.

of Radicals and one or two sore7head-

This talk about cliques and rings
is all bosh and bunkum. The very
papers that belong to cliques, gotten
up with their money, published at
their command, directed by their
motions are the very ones which cry
out first and loldest, against others.
We wish to say once for all that
that this paper is owned principally
and controlled entirely by the editor;
that no clique, ring nor any other
power has right to dictate a course
to it on any matter,
The editor is Democrat and is
governed entirely by his own princi-
Piles. Can the editor of the Banner

The Bee ohor Scandal.

Tilton and Moulton made supple
mental statements last week in re.
lation to the Beeeher Scandal, which
are not so much statements, rs argu-
ments. Tilton's effort seems To be
to prove that his wife is strumpet
and he cuckold, and Moulton en-
deavOrs to show that the man whom
he has professed to love and cherish
as bosom friend is an adulterer and
lecherous scandal and himself his ac-
complete, accessory and pimp.
The statements are full of filth, OBJ
scenity and general nastiness. When
Mrs. Woodruff published her state
ments she was poor and friendless,
so the virtuous public prosecutors had
her and her sister arrested and
thrown into jail her statement was
purity itself in comparison with the
filth Of Tlton's and, ,Moultop's which
are the most disgusting and beastly
productions ever published in news
papers in any civilized country.
Some of the virtuous citizens of New
York complained some years ago of
the police Neus' and other fash pa
persSf New York, as publishing
matter unfit for general reading, but
the most Objectionable matter ever
contained in them could not be COM
pared for lewdness aud obscenity to
the productions of Moulton and Til
TOP, who, we suppose because they
have rich and powerful friends are
allowed to publish what they please.
We think it is time this was stop
ped; the public is tired of it, and if
not, decency would require it.
When the liberty OF the press de-
generates into such license rs this,
it well becomes us to inquire if a CEN
Sor would not be useful.

not only in the editorials but in the
correspondence, for although the edi-
tors are net supposed To be response
Die for the opinions advanced by
their correspondents, yet they are
responsible for their character and re-
liability.
Sometime ago, the Examiner and
Chronicle published letter from a
minister in Georgia named Siegfried,
giving a most terrible account Of at
fairs there, and exciting a violent
prejudice against that State. The
letter was proven to be a tissue OF
talsehoods from beginning TO end,
and the writer Of it has since been ex.
PEELED from the church.
The National BaptiSt, of Philadel-
phia publishes in its issue OF Sept.
18th . letter which reads as il it had
been written by the same or another
Siegfrled, the style and tone of which
are so offensive that it is really mat
ter Of surprise that it was published,
For instance il speaks Of White gen
t!emea. as fellows, and negroes as
black men. IL SAYS Not many days
aco, company of black men were
reported 20 have shot at two white
fellows" The epithet seems to have
been chosen by some one who was
well acquainted with Southern id
ons with particular intention u
tantalize and provoke Southern PEG
pie.
The charges made against the
whites are sweeping, and 50 general
that it would be q simple impossible
" TO answer them. From all the ap-
pearauees Of the letter it seems as If
il must have been written by 4 ne
GRO. who thus delivered himself OF
his venom against the white citizens.
He SAYS thar , murders have been
committed in Gibson County, Tenn.
within 8 months. all of which he un-
derstood were colored men, and none
of the mur,erers arrested.
OF sorne of the transactions men
toned in the letter, we have had re-
liable information, and they are dep
recateI and condemned by every
right thinking man. We believe
that all the better class Of citizens
are in favor of dealing stern an,l
rigorous justice to the rioters and
murderer. of Tennessee and every
other Southern State, but the cause
of RICH; and peace will not be helped
by such iuceudiary letters As that
published in the National Baptist.
We are accustomed to think of the
American Baptist Publication Socie-
ty with respect as great moral
agent. bu, such publications As this
in their paper are calculated to IN
lure it in the view Of every southern
man who has any respect for his
race or seetion:southen peop'e DO not
