No ONE DENIES that the majority of the
voters of Mississippi are Republicans. The
Democrats carried the State nevertheless,
SIMPLY because the colored Republicans as
a body were not allowed to attend the polls.
This plain statement of facts shows that the
practical disfranchisement of thousands OF
American citizens has been accomplished,
and that the proud boast of the Republican
party that the results ofthe war have been
sacredly and firmly secured is an empty
fraud. The question now is, who was re-
sponsible for the situation of affairs which
enabled the rebel Democrats to secure
their shameful victory? Certainly there
should be, if there is not, sufficient power
in the Government somewhere to protect
the rights of citizens against such outrages

The SOUTHERN Democratic papers are
pursuing Judge Kelley with a vengeance
A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel charged that on his recent
trip through that section he persistently
declined TO accept private hospitalities, ie,
invitations 10 dine. The same correspon-
dent charged, also, that on his visit to
New Orleans he attended a dinner party
where the host and his guests were quad
rooms. The Judges attention having been
called TO these statements, he declared
them to be ga lie cut out of whole cloth. /"
But the @. dad S. comes back at him with an
insinuation that the quadroon dinner oc-
CURED on a previous trip, and the question
remains to disturb the equanimity of the
Southern Democracy: did Judge Kelley
dine with qusGroons?

AT TWO o'cIocK this morning we re-
-ceived the copy of pettifogging letter OF
) C. S. Fairchild, Attorney General-elect, to
Attorney General Pratt of New York, re-
iterating his adherence to his opinion that
savings banks may not safely invest in the
S.05's of this District. There is nothing
new in the letter, and this is undoubtedly
designed to aid Wall street brokers in
bearing the bonds. Mr.. Fairchild closes
by rendering the resignation of his Office
Of Assistant Attorney General.

THERE is an appearance of political
trescbery in the policy now being pur-
sued by Governor Chamberlain, of South
Carolina, which suggests that he will bear
watching. When man of his stripe be-
gins TO coquet with the rebel Democracy,
as he has done, it is time for honest men to
come TO the front with a determination to
protect their interests against threatened
injury. He seems TO be seeking social
recognition, 5" and it will be generally ad-
mitted by those who know anything about
South Carolina politics that he cannot
reach the object of his search without a
serious COMPROMISE OF principle.

THE New York EUsning Post laughs at
our assertion that we are paying Spain's
war expenses. Regarding the difference
in prices of Cuban produce with US nov
and before the war it pronounces them
false, and then instances the fact that there
| is but little difference between the prices of
Cuban produce and like articles produced
elsewhere, TO demonstrate what it is polite
enough to call ridiculous, intimate to be
false, and impute to our ignorance. Of
course we feel very badly about these mat
tiers, but after all they fail to touch the
point which we made. and which still!
stands good. If the Post had gone back,
and compared ante-war prices with those
now ruling for Cuban produce, and had
compared Spanish export duties in Cuba
then with the Cuban export duties now,
and had then shown US what the difference
was between the import duties on our
produce and manufactures when taken from
this country direct to Cuba in American
bottoms, and when the same come by way
of Spanish ports in Spanish vessels, and
the facts had falsified our assertions, it
might have plumed itself upon its knowl-
edge, and asked its readers to laugh at our
ignorance. As it turns out, however, the
laugh is quite on the other side of the
mouth. And as the Post acknowledges
that our arguments were good, if our as
sertions were accurate, we think it may as
well join US in the acknowledgment that
our people, as consumers of Cuban pro.
duce and sellers Of American produce and
manufactures which Cubans wish to con-
sumo, and would consume were it not for
this unnatural and barbarous war, and the
onerous commercial restrictions grcT44lg
out of it, are paying Spain s expenses of
the F;1t5p.l ;15p.l va, aId contributing largely to
those of the war against Don Carlos.

ninety years. She was peculiar in several respects,

she had nicely tucked away in a corner of an old

in gold and silver coin, which she had accumula.-
ed previous to the war, and which she had hoard
ed ever since. Had she sold this when gold CON-
manded the highest premium, and placed the
amount received at interest, it would have amount
ed, at this time, to about thirteen hundred dollars.
