THE Register, Democratic paper
of Mississippi, keeps standing at the
head of its columns, the following:
"a white man in a white mans
place. A black man in black mans
place. Each according to the setern-
al fitness of things"
We suppose Mississippi Democratic
White Leaguers are engaged in ac-
cordance with the above indication,
shooting the colored people into their
proper place. Here in the North, we
have Democratic papers CARRYING the
motto at the head of their columns of
'This is a white mans government" !"
and the Democratic organs in the
South and in the North are in perfect
harmony.

GEN. STEWART l.. WooDroRD, of
New York, who is now stumping
Ohio, has no superior as a ringing,
effectual talker. In speech he made
in Cincinnati, the Times Of that city
reports the following incident as oc-
curing in the course of his remarks !:
"During his speech, a drunken man
in the audience arose, and, in a thick
toned voice, said See here, Mister.
am one of them fellows that wants
more money! Woodford dropped
the thread of his argument, and point
ing to the man said: Well, my friend,
you only serve to point the moral of
my tale. Now, if you would resume
work and initiate less with whisky
you would soon nave more money.
The crowd saw the point, and amidst
loud cheering the Over-stimulated
man sat down, badly scattered
just what troubled the Generals
interrogation, is the very thing that
is the matter with thousands Of the
loud-mouthed rag-money Democracy
and those who are continually charg-
Ing corruption upon the Republican
party.

The Hon. Columbus Delano, Secre-

The Hon. Columbus Delano, Secre-
fary of the Interior, having been full
@y vindicated, after most searching
AIquiry, has, in obedience to his long
oppressed wish, resigned, and his
designation has been accepted, to take
effect Oct. l. The investigation, con-
Quoted by men of undeniable integ-
rity and ability, has resulted, not only
in fully exonerating him from all
taint, but so complete and ovcrwhelm-
ing has been the proof in his behalf,
that Prof. Marsh and Mr.. Welsh, his
accuscrs, are left in a most pitiable
condition; the latter, at least, is shown
TO be himself a rascal.
There is, perhaps, no place in the
Cabinet go subject to the carping of
scoundrels, because through it they
are not allowed to fleece the Govern
ment, as is that of the Interior De-
partment. From the moment II was
ascertained that Secretary Delano de-
sired to retire, his enemies commenced
to despoil his character with the pub
lie, intimating that he was resigning
on account Of his wrong doings, and
really forced to resign by the Presi-
dent. This being the case, the Secre-
tary delayed his resignation, though
at his own personal inconvenience.
and the President took occasion to
fatly contradict that he desired the
Secretary to resign. Now since he
has been vindicated, he consumates
his wish to lay aside public duties in
order to attend to pressing private
affairs.

The Democratic State Central Com

saying that they are not opposed to

terpart of the temperance man down
