In ANOTHER column will be found a
communication written in the interest of
the equalization bounty bill which recently
passed the House by vote of III to 80,
and which is now before the Senate by q
unanimous report of the Military Commit
tee. What our correspondent shows, in
this and previous letter, is that this act
will not cost more than $25, 900, 900, which
payment will be distributed over several
coming years; that it is really bill looking
to the equalization of bounties, therein diff
fering from many recent acts purporting to
have the same object, and that such pre-
vious acts have cost the Government, with
out equalizing bounties, more than this one
would have cost at the close of the war.
He holds, also, that this act will cause a
more general diffusion throughout the
country of the money appropriated than
any previoue act.

FIGURES THAT WILL NOT LIE.


The Electoral College is composed Of
366 votes.
One hundred and eighty-four votes are
necessary to choice for President, all the
States being counted.
The States of North and South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar,
kansas, Mississippi and Texas, all more OF
less subjected to White League rule, cast
seventy-two of these votes. Under White
League rule their votes will be cast for a
Democratic President. Under a fair and
impartial election their votes will be cast
for Republican President
Add to these States Virginia, where in
timidation exists to q great extent West
Virginia, Tennessee, Delaware, Kentucky,
Maryland and Missouri, all more or less
given over to State rights theories and Sc
Cession doctrines, and We have sum total
of one hundred and thirty eight Southern
electoral votes, only forty six less than is
required for a majority in the Electoral
College. If these forty-six votes should be
obtained from the Northern States for a
candidate of Southern prOclivities, a State
rights President would be elected.
To secure the country from this threat
ened peril it is necessary that the White
League usurpation in the first mentioned
States shall be overthrown. Seventy-two
electoral votes will thereby be saved to the
Union and the Republican party.
The bill to Protect Electors, now pend
ing in the House, will, if it becomes law,
effect this result.

the man who hesitates to indorse the object
sought to be realized by it virtually repu-
dates those amendments. The people I'M
derstand this. They have been taught to
understand it by q free and progress
sive press-the press of the interior
and of all the great cities except
New York-and by public teachers
in the pulpit and on the rostrum wherever
loyalty to the Government and desire to
preserve intact the dearly bought results of
the war are taught. In truth, the people
are far in advance Of Congress on the ques-
lions involved in this measure. The House
will not realize half the progress they de-
sire even by the passage of the bill without
amendment.
We repeat here what we have said before
very often: THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL
is REQUIRED TO PRESERVE TO THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY THE ELECTORAL VOTES
OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.
REMEMBER THAT IF THE DEMOCRATS
CARRY ALL THE SOUTHERN STATES, AS
THEY WILL IF THE WHITE LEAGUE UsUR-
PATTON IN SOME OF THEM Is NOT SUP
PRESSED, IT WILL REQUIRE ONLY FIFTY
DEMOCRATIC ELECTORAL VOTES FROM THE
NORTHERN STATES TO ELECT A DEMO

In THE editorial correspondence of the
Albany EVeninS Journal from Washington
we find words of strong import regarding
the condition of affairs in the South, and in
support of the reports of such unprecedented
men as Messrs. Hoar, Hurlbut; Coburn
Ward and their associates. He writes:
"All the true men who have been South
"make similar statements. The Missis.
"sippi, the Alabama and the Arkansas
committees confirm the story. told you
"something-only a little-of what Mr..
"Conger, chairman of the Mississippi COM
"mittee, related. He said Governor Ames
"was in quite as much peril as Governor
"Kellogg. He added that the life of any
"member Of the committee would not have
been worth a picayuueealone after dark
"The Alabama committee has convincing
"evidence that during a short time in
"cluded within the period of their investi-
"gation, horrible and nameless outrage
was committed upon large number of
blacks. see that Governor Garland, of
Arkansas, says there are now no assassi-
"nations in that State. 1t may be so; it
"may be that the reign of terror is now
complete without. it. But Mr.. Ward, of
"the Arkansas committee, states that while
che was there, on the investigation, twenty
assassinations wereiperpetrated, Of which
eighteen were political. The truth is the
coolest and most rational, men here are
profoundly convinced of the malign spirit
"of the rebel element, and they present an
Overwhelming array of facts which must
convince everybody"

THE Pacific Mail directors have lnsti.
tuted civil suits to recover against the par
ties who were implicated by Irwin, Schu,
macSer and Albert in the spelling of the
company's treasury. A court of justice
will be a more trying field to the memory
of afflicted witnesses than was the Ways
and Means Committee room, and the inter
rogatories of merciless cross examination
more productive of results than the playful
conversation of indulgent Congressman.
There will be a lively shaking up Of the
dry-bones. Sam Ward may make plain the
parable of the pigs, and the recital will
probably not convulse the audience with
laughter, as was the case at his first lecture
on the lobby. Irwin, against whom war
rant on a criminal prosecution was issued
for enlightenment, has fled, accompanied
by his father-in-law, Martin, who was the
president of the Ocean bank, q concern the
closing up of which brought its officials into
an uDsaVOry notoriety.

THE New YORK press, which has kindly
mentioned the plan for improving the
mouth of the Mississippi, should extend at
least equal favor to projects that will carry
business to that city rather than from it.
They were less cordial to the Hennepin

WE HAVE several times called upon the
New York (selfstyled) independent press
to do justice to Judge Poland and his
associates upon the committee on the revi-
sion of the laws by printing his defence
AID apologizing for the foul abuse which
it had heaped upon him during the politi-
cal canvass in his district last fall. But
thus far we have seen no acknowledge
ment in either of the papers which lied so
unscrupulously about kim of their errors.
Nor have we noticed that they have found
space for the report of the Senate Com
mittee on the judiciary interpreting the So
called "press- gag" law, which so fright
ened them and their attaches. Elsewhere
in this paper will be found an abstract of
Judge Poland's remarks upon the revision
of the tariff laws which we commend to
the New York editors as good food for
thought. We shall watch with some
anxiety to see how many of the ''indepen-
dent" newspapers will reproduce it.

THE weakened Republicans in the

overwhelming majority of their own party
despises their cowardice. They certainly
do not contemplate a new party, for they
are not strong enough, and have no fol.
lowing. They remind us of the black

OUTLAW REID fights Tom Scott in the
interest of Jay Gould, and resists internal
improvements under the plea of defending
the Treasury. But the outcry of ''sub-
sidy," leveled at the Southern Pacific, does
not conceal the fact that the Tribune is a
railroad organ, while its willingness to
invest dozen millions at the mouth of the
Mississippi shows that the Treasury ar
gument against improvement is pretense.
The Tribune is catering for White League
favor and having no basis of principle on
questions affecting the vital interests of the
nation is consistent only in its inconsist-
ency. 1t was not always thus with the
journal founded by Horace Greeley"

ing the City of Peking and the Toxic, the
two finest steamships in the world, sailing

Jay Gould is to establish line is too thin.
That has been a standing threat of this
shifty Green Mountain boy for years when
ever he wanted to ''bear" prosperous
