as speuddly as be was ridden, he missed his
lump and fell headlong. Jumping up, Green
mounted gallantly and srove to retrieve his fall.
All in vain, the Black Horses Crack is out,
aud the rest thunder by, and Bartcps took the
water jump as easy as bird. Close behind
came Daniels. Worsey, wearing the black
Jacket and white cap, just before ne reached
the water Jump was thrown by his horse aod
dragged some yards by his ct,which we're en-
tangled in the stirrups. Finally he dropped
and his horse galoped off, leaving Black and
w bite lying inert and hfeless, stretched out on
the field. The pace was telling % the horses,
but every Jump was taken, the riders riding
their horses with judgment aud skill. AS they
approached the water jump, on the second
round, the excitement grew Intense, aod every
one was held breathess. Charley Payne lead
iDg first, gathered his gallant little bay and went
over like stone hurled by sling A few PAGES
behind him followed Rowe, who jumped 1T IN
safety. Daniels, with his crimson cap SHINING
in the sun, rode third-the rest making siren
nous but unavailing efforts to make up the lost
distance. On the home stretch Charley Payne,
riding as light weight, dropped his regula-
tion weight from his saddle, weighing twenty
three pounds, and then pulled up and Volun-
tarily gave up the race.
The struggle now was between Daniel aud
Rowe. They rode neck and neck, and their
bodies bent low, and the hands we'll down; over
the second hurdle, over the third; then Daniel
surged ahead length. His horse, Harold,
seemed to know what was required OF hum, and
did bis best. The fourth hurdle, and men
held their breath-and now they are on the
homestretch-a thousand hearts beat hurried
". and twice Thousand eyes watched the
coming horsemen in their last grand rush;
there was an intense silence. The sight was
magnificent, the riders superb, and the pace
terrific. Daniel on Harold, with his grand
stride, approached the last hurdle; and beside
him was Rowe, on bis game little mare, Ethe
Deans, who sprang along with sprlghtiy,
Lghtsome stride that looked as she must Win.
The last hurdle is nearly reached, and then the
multitude finds voice crimson wlDs; grey Wl0s;
the mare gives ou, the horse breaks grey
wins it-uo, crimson cap Is ahead, ard as the
last hurdle is reached over sees crimson cap,
and the ield is won; aud amid the roar and the
lreuzicd shouts of the vast multitude Daolei
dashed in winner, and the silver punch bowl
is his by right Of the longest struggle and most
superb riding ever seen in the country.
Worsely is not severely injured, he is ter
ribly bruised and stunned, but 20 bones are

The Ranylng Cry.

The records of the country afford no
parallelto the stupendOus frauds that
have been perpetfated by the Govern
ment officials since the accession Of
the Radical party is but n repetition
of plumbers and thefts upon the public
treasury. STEPPED in infamy, the hon
est masses turn from the debauched
servants of the public, entrusted with
their interests, with horror, shame and
disgust. The Radical party is alone
responsible for it all, and if the Dem
ocratic leaders fail to charge home
upon these pilferers the elaring offen-
ces that have only to be recited to ex-
cite universal indignation, the fault is
their own. The canvass upon their
part, from first to last, should be an
aggressive one; they should not pause
to notice or repel the petty assaults
and ISLANDERS OF the Radicals, but from
the Aroostook to Mexico, and from
ocean to ocean, they should ring the
charges of Radical misrule, corruptions
and frauds, in the ears of the people
That should be the issue, and the only
issue. Reform Reform is the SUI
preme necessity of tho times, and
should be everywhere the rallying cry.

COlOred Men who Vote the Democratic
Ticket Demand Protection.

! AS an evidence of tie fact that is is
Republicans who practice intimida.
tion in the South, and in proof Of the
charge that all the troubles between
the races in the Southern States, are
brought about by designing Republi-
can politicians who use the negroes as
their tools, the following account Of
the Charleston riot, from the New
York Herald, is conclusive:
"In every Southern State ihe col
ored voters are joining Tilden and
Hendricks Clubs. In Alabama and
Arkansas they went peacefully to the
polls and voted the Democratic ticket
by thousands. 1t is evident that the
negroes have learned, that under Dem
ocratic rule, as in Georgia, Arkansas
and Alabama, their property is pro
teeted, and their rights guarded, while
In those States under Radical rule,
they are used by politica! adventurers
for their own ends. They are there
fore Joining the Democratic party in
large numbers, in every Southern State.
The Republican leaders have become
alarmed at this detection, aud the or
der has gone forth to stop it, by blood
shed if necessary. Attorney General
Taft has issued an order intended to
convince the negroes of the power of
the Administration to enforce its will.
Twenty thousand stand of arms are
sent to Charleston. The riot of yes.
terday is the first result of this policy.
Every colored Democrat is a marked
man, and threatened with death. The
National Democratic Committee arein
the daily receipt of letters from coll
ored men in the South, saying that
they are even refused communion in
their churches if they vote the Demo
cratic ticket. One colored man writes:
I'VE have to be very secret; if it were
known that we were Democrats, our
wives would refuse to live with US.
Negro Democratic speakers are threat
ened with assassination, and reign of
terror is inaugurated, with the delib-
crate purpose OF checking the express
sion of Democratic sentiment among
the negroes. iur
That there is no conflict between
the negro and white races in the South,
except such as is created and kept alive
by Republicans for political purposes,
is absolutely proven by the harmony
existing between the races wherever
the Democracy is in the ascendency."

vile? The whole public

Mr. Patterson, President Johnson's
own son-in-law, and an inmate at the
time of the White House, received the
sum of s., 500, as has been solemnly

There are certain transactions
not yet distinctly alluded to of dark
and fearful import of which / do not
desire to be compelled to speak at this
moment, but which, assuredly before
the present century shall close, will
be embodied in the pages of authentic
history, and which some future Shak-
speare may dramatize for the entertain
inent and instruction of future gener-
ations, when the admirers of Macbeth,
of Hamlet and of Richard the Third,
will discover that in the capital city
of our country and glorious Republic,
and in the full brightness of the nine
teenth century, dark plots have been
concocted and horrid deeds enacted
such as neither the early and semi-bar-
barious annals either of Denmark or
of Scotland have recorded"
