Mr.. DorSheiner.

Lieutenant G ovcrnor DORSHEIMER has
taken the stump in New York for TIIDES.
He makes telling points, we know, Judging
from the notice of his first speech which we
find in the New York Herald. One OF his
epigrammatic remarks was that those north
ern people who are afraid of the bloody
shirt are afraid Of an empty one as we'll
Another was that those who are afraid that
the Democracy once in power will pay the
rebel debt are afraid Of an utter impossi-
bility.

STRIKING ELECTION FIGURES.-Dr. II. Y.
Redield, in a letter from Alabama to the
Cincinnati Commercial, o Republican pa
per, furnishes some striking figures OF the
| recent election in that State, and from which
he arrives at the conclusion that "the time
has passed when the Republicans can WELD
the colored voters Of the South as compact
body" For instance, Marengo county has
heretofore been one Of the Republican
strongholds, and up to the late election it
never failed to roll in Republican majority
Of from two to three thousand. The popula-
ton of the county is 5000 white, and 2O,05S
colored. This means that the Republicans
outnumbered the Democrats more than three
to one. In 1874 the Democrats polled 1905
votes, and the Republicans 8, 432. Last week
the Republican vote dwindled down to 1906
and the Democrats sWelled to zoos, for the
reason that fully one thousand colored men
voted the Democratic ticket and another
thousand did not vote at all. Bullock coun-
ty contains 1928 whites and 17,257 blacks.
In 1874 the Republican ticket in that county
had 2,503 votes, and at the recent election it
had but 600, afalling off of nearly 1000, whilst
the Democratic vote ran up from 1854 in
1874 to 900 in 1876. AS there are only
about 1900 Democratic votes in the county
it is evident the bulk of the black vote went
to the Democrats. In Hale county, con-
tanning 1880 whites to 1900 blacks, the
Democrats made a net gain OF 1888 votes,
fully 1000 blacks voting with the Demo-
Gratis. These are but a few Of the counties
cited in proof of the wonderful change
which has taken place in Alabama. DIR.
Redfields who is q Republican. predicts that
Governor Tilden will carry Alabama by a
majority OF not less than $4,000. sS

The CoIOred Troops Fought NObly-
Republican Pole Raising at Greggs-


RICHLAND DISTRICT, Sept. 3, 1876.
Editors Register.
The truly loyal raised apole at the
above named place on Saturday, on
which to hang their bloody shirt. They
came in true Colors from this district
the delegation consisting o! twenty five
colored men and two Moseses to lead them
to the happy land of Canaan. The pole
looked as though it had been dieting on
cucumbers for week, but when / saw
the molly crowd surrounding it, come
to the conclusion it had the black vomit.
They came to hear about their forty
acres and mule that they were to get
when they arrived al the promised land.
But the Moses did not tell them where
th0y were to get the money that was
taken from them out OF the saw
lngs banks in different parts of the
country by the Radical thieves who
run them. They take good care not
TO say anything about that when they
talk loyalty to them. No Moses for that
business. Well, 1 forgot, the opposition
candidate for Sheriff might take their
certificates of deposit and cash them with
national bank note, promise to pay
with the understanding that the interest
would be paid in gold when we reach the
promise land. To bystander it was
isughsble. When the Richland delega-
ton was last seen they were marching up
Woods Run road, their two MOseses in the
lead, the vets singing, "Oh darkies
how nv heart grows weary, far from the
old folks at home" No doubt they
were thinking of the good old times when
they did not have to give thought OF to-
morrow. Msssa stood between them and
the weary hearts. All! my co!ored
friend, come out from the Radical
horde who are leading you into
n captivity and bondage lar worse than
that from which you were delivered.
These men care no more Tor YOU than
for the beasts that roam their fields. They
lsud you TO the skies for the little assist
