the North have of late been prolific In high
sounding promises. The new order of things
both orators and platforms have asserted again
and again had been accepted by the Democ-
racy. The Federal amendments, and the laws
based upon them, were to be fully respected
and sustained. All these things looked well
on paper and sounded well, coming from Dem
ocratic spokesmen. But it is unfortunate that
the facts too painfully show that the Democrats
utterly and defantly belied all these rosy and
catch-vote promises in the very States where
there was the only opportunity worth speaking
of to carry them out.
1t is safe TO say that IL the true history of
the manner of conducting the late elections In
Mississippi and Maryland were fully known the
whole country would be astounded at the
shameless fraud, intimidation and terrorism
practiced upon the colored voters in both these
States. In Baltimore colored voters were
driven from the polls by the dozen and the
score by the plug g-uglies, who run the election
to suit their own infamous purposes. Turning
to Mississippi, it is curious to note how indus
triously the dispatches labored to cover up the
real condition of affairs, and to convey the i'm
preston that everything was indeed lovely.
There is no doubt that things were quiet, but
1t was the quiet of death or the fear 1t. The
truth which leaked out in q special to a North
ern paper tells the whole story: "The colored
element was sparcely represented at the polls
through fear of violence" That reveals the
secret of the way in which the Democrats Gre
deemed Mississippi"
By the census of 1870 Mississippi had a
white population of 1885,, ,S96 and o colored
population of "A POI. As rule, the colored
electors arc Republican. There can not be less
than ten or fifteen thousand white Republicans
in the State. In 1872 the Republicans carried
it by SS ,0SS majority, and Democratic intimida-
ton in keeping away the colored votes is about
all there has been to produce any change
since. Deliberate and downright terrorism
did the work and returned the fraudulent ma
jorities over which Northern Democrats gloat
and chuckle. The White League of Missis-
sippi began its bloody work early and per-
formed it with deadly effect. Within the last
few months negroes have been merci essly per-
secuted aud as mercilessly shot down like dogs.
On the day of election it was indeed "quiet."
There was no disturbance from the fact that
the Ku-Klux and White Leagues had excited
such terror among the. blacks that thousands
of them were afraid to show themselves out
side their cabins on the day of election. That
is the kind of Democratic victory 1t was. It
would be difficult to find two better illustra-
tions of genuine, unmasked Democratic tri-
umph than Maryland and Mississippi pre-
sents,

The Pittsburg Gazette man has produced the
following after mature thought and careful
reflection GAS we see it, the contest is really
between President Grant and Gov. Hartranft
The former, without so much as lifting q fin
ger, is a formidable competitor for any man.
He has place in the hearts and confidence of
the Americanpe people equaled by none. Should
he not be nominated, it will be solely for the
reason that he has filled two terms of office;
and the people will turn to another with a feel
ing of regret. Should he be nominated he will
be elected. We have not the slightest fear as
to this point. If he is not nominated, we have
no hesitancy in predicting that Gov. Hartranft
will be, and that he will be easily and tri-
umphantly elected"

Foreigners could not have a more auspicious
time in which to study the different phases
and shades of our politics than that which
will be afforded them during the Centennial
year. When the celebration of our nations
one hundredth birthday shall be in the zenith
of its glory, and the land be crowded with
three or four million strangers, our political
horizon will also be ablaze with the excite
ment and enthusiasm of Presidential cam
paign which bids fair to be one of the most
exciting partisan contests that has ever taken
place in the Western Hemisphere.

event down at seal" In these four mono
syllables we find embodied sad and heart
rending tale. The steamship Pacific, supposed
to be one of the staunchest and most secure
vessels sailing over the main is run down by an
unknown craft, and in less than one hour sinks
beneath the crest of the pillows with two hun
dred precious souls on board; sand it was Lot q
dark night either" so says the only man res
cued from the waves. Sand lights were burn
ing" in the fatal steamer, which passed rapidly
on in its course, unmindful of the awful ruin
it had wrought. Still, with even this brutal
and inhuman act on the part of the officers of
the eolliding craft the passengers of the Pacific
might have been saved, had 1t been possible to
make the life-boats available. "There was no
confusion on board'' is the statement Of Jelly,
the sole survivor. In that terrible hour of
suspense, when death brooded over the scuttled
steamer like a gloomy pail, the faith of the
passengers in the power and ability of the
goodly- fashioned vessel did not falter even so
much as to arouse that excitement and futter
which so often occurs and leads to disastrous
results. Working like Titans at the life
boats, which seemed to cling to the
vessel like blood-sucking leeches, the
passengers spent their last hour on earth. Many
of the boats would not yield TO the giant
efforts of the men to launch them. To call
them life boats then seemed paradoxical. Hav,,
ing the power to save, still through some fatal
fault of construction or mooring, their power
was as dead thing as the unfortunate pas
sengers themselves were found to be an hour
afterwards. In one or two instances boats
were launched, but being unskillfully manned
were capsized, and those who had taken ref
uge in them as the only way of escape per-
ished in the sea. Tie whole narrowing thing
is sad commentary on the inefficiency of the
hie-saving equipment Of the vessels Of the
present day. Ahalf dozen strong and securely
built life-boats properly arranged for expedi-
tious launching would have saved the ma
jority of those who are now sleeping for res
direction in the unfathomed depths of West
ern waters.

"Excuse me, BRETHREN" cried Samuel
Bowles, arising from his seat in prayer meet
ing, 'but beforsI forget it would like to
nominate Charles Francis Adams as our Gen.
tennial President" "My impression is,
Brother Bowles," said Deacon Wise, arising
with an injured air, "that when Gabriel blows
his horn summoning the world to judgment,
you will pop up in your absent -mindedness
and request stay of proceedings until you
can nominate some blarsted blue-blood for
the Presidency of Heaven" Bowles bowled
himself back to his seat with few suppressed
bawls.

The Southern press is urging the army of
idling young chivalry who are holding up the
lamp posts in the city and holding down the
rail fences in the country "to go to work."
Why, the idea of those young gentlemen, born

pride-induced laziness, going to work 1t is
simply ridiculous.

1t is amusing to see how earnestly the Dem
ocrats whistle in order to keep up their spirits
for the coming Centennial contest. In the
last elections they see the handwriting on the
wall, and its portent is so clear that it needs
no Interpretation. The cheering music of
whistles falls dead on the dreary waste of Salt
river waters.

A gentleman living near New York
recently had barn-raising ON his place,
in which number of his neighbors as.
sisted. In accordance with his old Gus
tom he brewed for them, with his own
hands, several gallons of punch, upon
which being an expert, he expended much
labor and thought. When the ingredi-
ents had been combined TO suit his taste,
he carried the punch in a bucket TO the
scene of operations, and invited the men
to partake Of it. They excused them
selves for moment, wishing to COM
plete their work, whereupon he placed
the bucket upon bench and retired.
When, about half an hour afterward, the
men prepared to do justice to the punch,
they discovered TO their CONSERVATION
that the bucket was empty. The thief
proved to be an Attorney heifer, which
was found in very disgraceful state of
intoxication. She had scented the
favorite connection and drained il to the
last drop. The animal recovered the
next day, but those for whom the punch
was intended were obliged to quench
their thirst with lager.

a National Com pyj,ueut,

Years ago when it was the fashion in
England to r:licale the culture and taste
of American citizens, an English painter
named Newton made a professional visit
to this country. He aswell received and
had large patronage. Most of his time
and labor were given to Boston. Some
of his English friends affected pity for
him that he was so long exiled from good
society, and compelled to live among semi
barbarians.
On his return to England, this feeling
found expression in warm congratu la
tions that he was again restored to civ
ilized community. The painter, who had
enjoyed his visit to this country, and who
appreciated warmly the attentions
shown him, would not accept such con-
CALCULATIONS. When one remarked to
him, You must have felt the difference,
you did not meet such people there as
you associate with here" he replied,
promptly, met such people there erery
day as am glad TO met here occasionally"
The rebuke silenced the caviling spirit,
and gave new ideas of the United States
TO the company.
