Negro Outbreaks.

We advise the Southern democrats to be
a little careful about falling into a trap which
invites them cheerfully to a very fatal blum
der. They have dread of negro outbreaks,
which remains to them from the old slavery
times. A rumor of negro insurrection stirs
up the Southern whites and makes every
young fellow who owns a shotgun rush out
in wild excitement to help in quelling it.
Thus are informed that the other day, in
Georgia, the Governor having refused to order
out the militia companies in Augusta many of
the members of these organizations promptly
went out skirmishing on their own account.
The hollowness of the pretence on which this
''insurrection" story was started is explained
in our correspondents letter from Augusta,
printed elsewhere
Now, there are not going to be any negro
instructions The negro is now free ; he
has nothing to gain by an insurrection he
is timid and tolerably helpless creature,
who, as every Southern man knows, has not
even the capacity to organize politically
without white helpers and leaders,
and who is as capable of flying
as he is of plotting and organizing
an insurrection. When, therefore, the
Southern democrat hears about negro in
surrection we advise him to put his tongue
in his cheek and leave his shotgun on the
rack where it belongs There are republican
demagogues who would like nothing so well
as to see massacre of colored men between
now and the Presidential election. There
have been already some abortive attempts to
''fre the Northern heart, and there will be
more A few Coushatta affairs would delight
Senator Morton and other republican politi-
clans of that kind and there are republicans
in the South who would not scruple to graf
ify them. The Governor of Mississippi
stands at this present moment openly ac-
cused by republican of saying last year
that the blood of few black men spilled by
democrats would help to revive the repub-
lican party. There will be no negro insur-
rectons. Let the Southern democrats deal
justly and kindly with the negroes, and
when they hear of black outbreak let them
stay carefully indoors and remember that
some Southern republicans are likely to
''materialiZe" in that way about this time.

The Canvass i'm Pennsylvania.

The democrats of Pennsylvania are busily
engaged seeking out candidate to run for
Governor against the present incumbent, Gen
eral Hartranft. 1t would be very hard to de-
feat General Hartranft. His record has been
acceptable to fair men of all parties. At the
same time we should be glad to have change
of politics in Pennsylvania, if for no other
reason than that the rumors in reference to
the management of the State Treasury and
the use of money in legislation might be in
vestigated. In every well managed business
it is prudent to have change of bookkeepers
from time to time. In every free government
it is well to have change of officers. We
observe that among the gentlemen mentioned
for the democratic nomination for the Gov
some months past the agent for the Centen-
NAL Exhibition. Mr.. Bigler was Governor
of Pennsylvania quarter of cen
tury ago, and afterward a Senator in
Congress- Since the war he has been
in private life. He has done good
work for the Centennial and we think it
would be q mistake for him to withdraw from
1t now and enter into politics. lie Will open
himself to the charge of having used the
Centennial for political aggrandizement. This
work is so great and so national that every
person connected with it in prominent
capacity should resolve under no temptation
to have any connection with politics. Gov
ernor Bigler would be much better dem
ocratic candidate for even higher dignities at
the end of the Centennial if it is a success
than if he should now throw away the work
he has done and take himself from its active
prosecution TO run for an Office which he
held twenty-five years ago. and which we
think could have very little charm for him.
Keep the Centennial aloof from politics.
Once its officers begin to canvass for votes
upon what they have done for this national
exhibition and it will lose character.

Rival HamIets.

Theatrical managers are notoriously rech
less in the means by which they advertise
their attractions 1t is, however rarely that
we find men wicked enough to call up
spirit dangerous to the public peace and
calculated to lead to the most deplorable
results for the sake of iniuring n rival
manager We regret to notice that an attempt
of this nature is to be made on next Monday
evening, the occasion being the simultaneous
appearance of two actors, one an American.
the other an Irishman, in the r6le of Hamlet,
at rival houses in this city. The arrival Of
Mr.. Barry Sullivan in this city was seized
upon by his managers and friends as the
occasion of demonstration marked not by
the best taste. We then expressed our
opinion very strongly of the patent humbug
and charlatanism which had been needlessly
brought into play to puff an artist whose well
known merit rendered resort to such means
of creating interest in him unnecessary.
That Mr.. Sullivan happens to be an Irish|
man is really of no importance to tho
American public, although it may be n source
of qualification to his fellow countrymen.
The proposed demonstration to him is,
however, engineered by Americans simply
as matter of business. In fact, the
reception and torchlight procession are
merely to be taken as indications that the
spirit of Barnum still animates the American
Snowman. But the demonstration proposed
at the Grand Opera House is more serious in
its aspect. 1t appeals to the spirit which
produced the Astor riots and stained tha
streets of this city with blood. Mr.. Il. Il.
Davenport certainly does not need the assist
ance of a cast ''wholly American" to make
his impersonation of Hamlet interesting 1t
is rumored, also, that an American regiment
will take part in the Davenport demonstra-
tion as counterpoise to the appearance of
the Sixty-ninth ut Booths. In view of the
danger of creating i'll will among the citi-
zens of Irish birth and native born Ameri-
cans by these rival demonstrations, their get
ters-up oughtto weigh well the consequences
before proceeding further. If not, the result
will certainly damage the theatres, as decent
people will be likely to avoid both houses
and give the rival Hamlets an opportunity to
soliloquize on the uncertainty of charlatan-
ism

worship in the Woods.

Most of the leading city churches remain
closed and while the pastors are in the
mountains or by the seaside, worshippers
are going to the parks and groves instead of
the costly fashionable temples In Brook
lyn yesterday about eight hundred people
gathered in Lefferts' Park, where services
were held under the leadership of Deacon
O'Donnell. At the Sing Sing camp ground
there were meetings in the prayer tents
and the Rev. George Lansing Taylor preached
sermon. The day was memorial day
for the dead, and the discourse was
designed to be one of comfort for those who
have friends in the other world At Ocean
Grove there was an immense gathering, and
the camp meeting, which began on Tuesday
last, according to our report this morning
yesterday reached the height of its exciting
fervor. A love feast was the feature of the
day, as a colored lady, known as Sister
Sarah, ''told her experience" The occasion
was rich in incident and interest. There
were, besides, open air meetings in
Jersey City and other places, and
the woods were vocal with the sounds of
praise. In the few instances where the
metropolitan churches were open the attend
ance was slight, and we have no reports of
noteworthy services except in the Reformed
church at Port Richmond, S. l., where the
Rev. DIR. Brownlee celebrated the forty years
of his pastorate, and in the Fourth Methodist
Episcopal church in Brooklyn, E. D., where
the Rev. Oscar Hugo attacked the Pope as an
''old fox" and murderer. A more silly per-
Torrance than this of Mr.. Hugo's has not
come under our notice in long time, and if
his discourse is a specimen of what the
church affords in these dull summer days it
is best to await more bracing wo|ther for the
city churches, and in the meantime to con-
fine public worship to the wotls. If the
camp meetings accomplish no other good,
they at least entice people into breathing the
fresh air, and the city man who fills his lungs
with this is apt to find sermons in stones,
books in the running brooks and good in
everything

The Third Term "Nrummy.,

The Philadelphia EUening Bulletin thinks
that the third term sensation is so dead that
ga door nail is in o condition of frolicsome
animation compared with it. 1t would be as
easy to galvanize an Egyptian mummy back
to life and to run it as q democratic candi-
date for the Presidency as to give this worm
out piece of foolishness any new vitality"
The EUening Bulletin is 'loyal' journal, but
it allows its devotion to the administration to
close its eyes to the sunlight. If the third
term is dead why does everybody talk about
it? If it is simply mummy" why does
President Grants letter leave the door open
for him to become again a candidate? Why
has no convention pronounced absolutely
against it? Why do not State conventions
bring out their own candidates for the Presi-i
dency? Not single republican leader has
been nominated for the Presidency in any
State, except General Hartranft in Pennsyl-
vania, and that is admitted to have been an
idle compliment. Unless the republican
party and its leaders take definite ground
against the third term by making one term
cardinal point in their platform the issue
will be the dominant question in our politics.
not only in this election, but in many elec-
tions yet to come.

To Ohio Farmers and Mechanics.

Governor Allen and his fellow democrats
are going about Ohio telling the mechanics
and farmers that what is needed is ''more
money" an imitation of the currency, more
irredeemable promises to pay dollars. They
do not tell them how ''more money" of this
kind is to be got into the pockets of the me-
chanics and farmers, nor, indeed, into any
body elses pockets. They are promising
what they know they cannot perform. In
plain words, they are committing fraud
upon the people they address. If Governor
Allen were President to-day, and General
Carey Secretary of the Treasury, and the
Hon. William d. Kelley superintendent of
the government shinplaster mill, all three
together could not get out single cent
''more money" could not initiate the cur
rency to the amount of dime, unless they
got up foreign war or did something else
to create expenditures beyond the revenues.
They might spend their days and nights
over the paper mill and the greenback
presses, and might fill the Treasury building
with greenbacks but for what are they to
pay them out unless they run the country
into some costly war or other enterprise?
ooh, but they might pay off the bonds with
greenbacks." True enough; they might cheat
the nations creditors the 'bloated bond
holders" Well, let us sec who would suffer
first. Almost every provident farmer and
thrifty mechanic in these days insures his
life Now, the life insurance companies in
vest their means very largely in United
States bonds When they pay losses they pay
them out of the proceeds of such bonds.
Pay off the bonds in greenbacks, make them
worthless, that is to say, and you break
every life insurance company in the coun-
try. The companies in this State alone hold
over twenty-five millions of such bonds. The
mere threat to destroy their value impairs
the security on which every insured person
depends as a provision for his wife and
children in case ofhs death. What brilliant
statesmen these Ohio democrats are to per-
suade the people to cheat their widows and
orphans
Again. farmers and mechanics are the most
numerous depositors in the savings banks Of
the country. But the savings banks also in
vest their deposits largely in United States
bonds Make these worthless and you break
every savings bank in the country you rob
every depostor of his savings. In this State
alone the savings banks hold nearly fifty
eight millions of United States bonds. In
Ohio they hold also great many millions.
But these Ohio democratic statesmen want
these ''bloated bondholders" paid off in
greenbacks. They have the audacity to ask the
farmers and mechanics TO swindle themselves
out of their hard-earned savings. 1t seems
pity not to elect such brilliant statesmen.
The New York herald., 1875-08-23

Nor So BAD-While there are a good many
people out of work it would seem that in
this State, mt least, those who are employed
are able TO lay by money The statement of
the New York savings banks just made for
July l, shows not only that these institutions
are in sound condition, holding twenty
millions more assets than they owe, but what
is of equal importance, the gain in deposits
in the last six months since January l is over
twelve millions Of dollars and the increase in
the number of depositors is thirty-six thou
sand. This last feature is especially gratify-
ing, for it proves that the deposits are in the
main by people in moderate circumstances
and are really savings The increase in
deposits for the six months is the largest
since 1872. 1t is an excellent and encour-
aging showing

THE CONFESSION OF JACK CANTER one of
the most noted convicts ever imprisoned at
Sing Sing, which reaches us from Philadelphia
this morning, is a remarkable commentary on
the management of our State Prison. The
worst feature about this story is that it is
probably true. We have long feared that an
exposure of this kind would be made public
sooner or later, and we are not surprised
that it comes from such a source as that from
which this Cantcr confession emanates

The TRAMP NUISANCE, like the power of
King George, ''has increased, is increasing
and ought to be diminished;" and some ex-
tracts which we print elsewhere show that
the country people and authorities in several
States are taking the matter in hand. 1t is
high time; for most of these "sturdy beg
gars" are only thieves and highwaymen thinly
disguised, whom threat of employment
will drive away. Hard work is the last thing
they want. Let the vagrant laws which exist
in most of the States be sharply enforced,
and let the people in country neighborhood
turn out promptly to capture and punish the
first thief or robber who comes among them,
and the tramps will disappear. If anywhere
there is a number of persons out of employ
ment and actually willing to work organi-
cations can be easily formed to send them to
parts of the country where laborers are
needed. The Southern States need working
men, and thousands can there find constant
and remunerative employment at this very
time. There many enterprises suffering
there for lack of laborers.

What NIay Take Place.

We note in one of our telegraphic columns,
buried modestly among less important de-
spatches, that there has been controversy
in neighboring town between the Irish
and the Italians. In order that the story
may be properly understood we reprint it in
full -'Serious trouble is threatened at Dan
vers owing to jealousy between the Irish and
Italian laborers on the new hospital About
sixty of the Italians made a raid this morning
on the Irish boarding house, damaging the
interior considerably and driving the occu-
pants away. No one was injured. The
lesson we gather from this transaction
we cannot too earnestly impress upon our
New York rulers, those descendants of the
Irish kings who, by the grace of God, are
permitted to control the destinies of New
York. SO long as these monarchs continue
harmonious there is no trouble about New
York. We are docile people and loyal to
authority. Once that we see above us the
OMorrissey and the O'Kelly and the
OCreamer and the O'Murphy, and feel that
these representatives of the great rulers of
far distant past are united, we accept the stu
alton. We pay the taxes. We go on from year
to year acquiescent, submissive, thankful for
the many blessings that are vouchsafed to us
and yielding to no people in our reverence
for the law and its ministers. But the dis
sensions that have for the last few months
arisen in the councils of these imperial
rulers will result in the same state of affairs
that we note in Danvers.
