The word mizpah, frequently used on
engagement rings, means literally senti-
mel. 1t is used in Genesis XXI, when a
covenant is made between Jacob and his
father-in-law, Laban; and they made a
heap of stone as a witness to it, which
they called miZpah, Laban saying, The

Hon. Southern outrage RAISE
hoods are affecting Us.

A stranger, persuing tho columns of
some OF our Republican contemporaries,
would never for II moment suppose
that they were published in a city, the
object OF whose merchants and manu-
facturers was to enlarge its trade and
commerce with every section of the
country and especially with the South.
The bitter hostility of these journals
has become chronic. Everything that
can possibly be said to the disparage-
ment of the South, is said, and in a
manner that indicates so much vindic-
tiveness that the animus of the writer's
is easy Of comprehension.
Such a spirit, inste I'd of allaying the
animosities and heart -burnings of by
gone days, is calculated to keep them
alive, and to fan into fierce flame once
more, the fires that burned so balefully
during the war. With what grace can
we ask these Southern men to give us
their trade, and to join hand an | heart
with us in the great Centennial move
ment, when these Journals, published
here in our midst, display such veno-
nous hostility?
But we shall probably be told in re-
ply that they are actuated by principle.
We presume they arc, but the principle
is very pcrnicious one. The mission
of the American journalist of to-day is
to promote as far as in his power lies,
the peace and prosperity of the entire
country. Whenever there is a depart
urc from this sure and safe ground,
there is danger. The political jour
nalist, who, for the furtherance of
party interests, honestly supports prin-
ciples which have not been proved alb
solutely wrong, is pardonable, but he
becomes scarcely less criminal, when,
day after day, he gives utterances to
palpable falsehoods, with the hope of
sustaining the falling fortunes of a
party whose unsoundness to the very
core is no longer a question, ,-PnILA

WEI AT L ) III ?

This bill has passed the United States
Senate. 1t is now before the House of
Representatives The elections in No
vcmber will determine its fate.
What docs this bill propose to do A.?
1t is intended to override the right of
the people of the States to pass laws to
govern themselves.
1t forces, by law of Congress, the
children of white parents to associate
with negroes as their equals in the pub
lie schools.
1t forces the officers of colleges and
institutions of learning to take ne.
groes as the equals of white students.
1t forces hotel keepers to put the
white guests in the same rooms and
beds occupied by negroes.
1t forces the managers of cemeteries
to bury the negroes side by side with
the whites.
1t forces the managers of theatres
and places of public amusement to
seat the negroes by the side of the
| whites.

money of white people, and congrega-
tions which support them, to give Il ne.
gro any seat he demands.
II forces the managers of hospitals to
put the negroes in the same room with
the whites.
The penalty for violating any of the
provisions of this bill is FINE OF ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND IMPRIsoN
MENT FOR ONE YEAR, and five hundred

From the New York World.
The BaUOnet and the Ballot.

In England, the military are forbid
den to come within twenty miles of O
town in which an election is holding,
lest the Government for the time be-
ing should be even so much as suspec-
ted OF attempting TO intimidate voters.
During an election held at Shaftesbury
last year, a portion of the cavalry on
their way up to London from review
in Devonshire entered the town the
night before the polling-day. A pro-
test against their presence was imme-
diately drawn up, and the matter had
to be fully explained by the War
Office as an accident beyond its con-
troll and quite out of its intentions. In
Louisiana to-day person wearing the
uniform of United States officer, one
Merrill, whose name long since be-
came infamous in connection with
certain extremely doubtful pecuniary
transactions in South Carolina, is 60
ing into the local courts with troop
of cavalry at his heels to make af1ida-
Wits against citizens whose political
opinions are not favorable to the reign
of rogues established over Louisiana
by Kellogg, Casey and President
Grant. This man Merrill sends troop

night, handcuff them like criminals,
and parade them about the country
for the purpose of terrifying the hon
est people Of Louisiana away from the
polls of that State next week. Is not
the contrast between the England of
Queen Victoria and the Louisiana of
President Grant bitter enough to make
honest men living in that oppressed
community lament the victory which
sixty years ago preserved their chief
city from surrendering to the British
rule? BY this wicked and persistent
collusion with scoundrels like Kellogg
and by his not less wicked and persis-
tent employment of ruff1ans like Mer
rill, President Grant has this day de-
| filed and brought shame upon the mem
| ory of Jackson and the heroic men
who fought with Jackson to maintain
liberty neutrality-suspicious. in that very
| region which Grant has now stamped
into slavery and degradation. The
| scandal of Louisiana is sending forth
its stencil to the four quarters of the
earth but General Dix, and the Radi
calls who are using General Dix as a
tool for the reelection of Grant, have
| not had, and will not have, one word
to utter in stay of the villainies which
are daily making that scandal worse
and worse. Every vote given for
them on Tuesday next will be vote
given against the ballot and for the
bayonet. Let no man deceive himself
on this point
The daily gazette., 1874-10-29

The outrageous proceedings of Major
Merrill, in Louisiana, as they are re-
ported by telegraph, will awaken feel
ing of nonest Indignation in the breast
of everp man who rightly esteems the
privileges of freeman. When govern
ment officers, backed by Government
troops and Government bayonets, ,scour
a State, and arrest at pleasure citizens,
whose only crime is, that they differ in
opinion from the pets of the Admins
tration, it is high time for men, North
and South, to put on their thinking
caps, and debate the question. Where
and how will this end? We are not
surprised that such manufactured out
RACES neutrality-suspicious., as thePress,
in one paragraph totally discredit the
dispatches, and in the very next, high
ly approve this most bitter wrong
The day Of retribution will come, and
then let those who are thus trampling
down the rights of unoffending citizens
stand from under.

Editor Regj.tcE
In your paper of February 18th,

to be conclusive, | cannot agree
With Mr.. Hayden iR s9mc Of hA
assertions, if l understand him
rightly. To say thelcastS Sinforma-
ton on some Of these points might
be beneficial.
In speaking of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, in the world
these figures are used to express her
numerical strength: 100000 clergy
