wrong, and that thus it should forever stand
in history.
6. Declares that while they have no wish to
disfranchise. any who fought for the Con.
federacy, it is fragrant insult when faithful
Union soldiers, who risked their lives for the

place for those who fought against the country,
and it deserves the rebuke and condemnation
Of the whole country and every loyal soldier.
Z. Declares in condu etihg the civil service

The ScharE:MOrris Race.

PITTSBURGH, October 2l.-The single
scull race between Billy Schartf and
Evan Morris, for $4,000 and the champ
ionship, will take place tnis afternoon at
four o'clock. Last evening the race was
the general topic on the streets, and at
the various sporting headquarters it was
discussed with the keenest interest. In
betting Scharff is the favorite, pools hav-
ing been sold last night at odds of $l5 to
$25 IN his favor. The contestants are in
prime condition. Scharf will pull at l53
pounds and Morriss at 160, The former
says he will pull from thirty. nine to forty
strokes minute, and will notdrop below
thlrty-fve. The latter says he will aver
age thirty-one during the entire race.
The course settled upon is on the Monon-
gshels river, starting opposite the salt
works station, extends two miles and
half up the river TO turning boat, oppo-
site Miller's Landing and return. This
course is nearly three-eights Of mile
longer than the Brown-Coulter one, and
three hundred yards further up the river.
As was announced, the Scharf- Morris
boat race took place this afternoon, and
was attended by fully 10000 people. The
race in all respects was the most salts
factory one ever rowed in this vicinity.
Very little time was lost by the men
IN getting in position, and at 4:22 the
word "go" was given and both
men started amidst intense enthusiasm.
Scharft had slight advantage
at the start, but after the first fifty yards
Morris closed the space, gaining slight
lead. When one and half miles from
the start, Schartf closed the gap. They
turned the buoy together, and from that
time until within mile of the start they
rowed side by side, neither seeming to
have any advantage On the home mile
both men taxed their strength to the
utmost, and as they nesred the buoy
Schsrti gained and kept in the
lead, Morris made squirt, but Scharf
passed the winning point one length
ahead. No official time was taken, but
it is announced by private parties, who
timed them, the race was rowed in thirty
five minutes and thirty-fve seconds. A
gentleman on the referees boat states
the time to be thirty-six minutes and
tuenty-three seconds

rages-are but part of the scheme
to provoke the suffering people of South
Carolina into retaliation, and thus furnish
the material on which appeals to Northern
passions may be based. And 1t is strik-
ing proof of the law-abiding character OF
the citizens of that State that they have
borne all this and more, with q forbear-
ance which could not be found in any
Northern or Western State.
The indications are that the people
of the Northern States are be-
ginning, at last, to reach clear
understanding Of the Southern
situation, and of the purposes of the ad-
ministration in dealing with it. That
understanding reached, we shall hear Of
no more murder by negro mobs; no
more bayonet interference with popular
elections; no more carped-bag robberies
under the gulse of taxation. Southern
elections will be pure, Southern people
will be contented, Southern prosperity
will revive and in that prosperity the
whole country will participate.

sATURDAY NIGHTS DEMONsTRA.
TION.

The torchlight procession Saturday
mig ht was magnificent affair. The cit
clubs were all out in full force, and our
Democratic brethren over the river con-
tributsd handsomely to swell the shout
ing, marching multitude. The demon
stration was by far the largest, the most
brilliant and the most enthusiastic OF the
campaign. Twenty.six hundred torch
es were distributed among our
city clubs, and the number
from over the river could not
have been less than five hundred. The
transparencies were lively, witty, patr:-
otic, and al times satirical. The allu-
sions 10 the late lamented "Governor"
GoFF were exceedingly effective, bring
ing forth the widest bursts of applause
from the crowds through which the pro-
cession passed.
The throng upon the streets was
simply immense. At many places
the procession was compelled
to halt, to give time for passage way
to be worked through the crowd that
packed and obstructed the streets. The
Republican brethren were out in spots
and bestowed upon the marching De-
mocracy an occasional hoot, but there
was hardly life enough left in them to
put any vigor into their chsgrin.
The occasion throughout was a grand
one, showing how thoroughly our
Democratic friends appreciate their recent
splendid victories, and how well they
preserve the resolute purpose and the
enthusiasm which carried them so tri-
umphantly through the State campaign
The Democrats in Ohio county mani
fest determination to surpass, In No.
vember, their best efforts in October.
They want to give TILDEN and WILSON
such msjorities as will take the First dis
trict out of the doubtful list, and
end Republican pretentions in the Dis
trict, as completely as they have been
sQuelched in the Second and the Third.
Two thousand majority is about what
WILSON ought to get in the District, and
If such demonstrations as that OF Satur-
day night mean anything, they mean
that this figure will be reached by our
candidate for Congress in November.
All that is needed Is to keep the work
going forward. No relaxation of effort
because the State Is sure; no letting go
because the campaign is a long one. We
are near its close. A few days more
will end it, and if we do our duty as we
should the election of TILDEN, HEND-
RIcKs and WILSON will give us the
greater satisfaction, because each can
proudly say, II did my part in this
great work"

THE SOUTH CAROLINA SITCA-
TION.

There is a sort of popular uprising
against the Administration iniquites
now being perpetrated in South Caro-
lima. After eleven years OF effort to
Radicauze the South, and make tha: Sec
tion contented and prosperous under en-
forced Radical rule, the people of the
country see the folly and the wickedness
of trying to compel Southern
white men to vote against
their own interests and inclnatiOns.
They see the bad feelings which have.
been engendered by the CHAMBERLAIN
carpet. bag policy in every Southern State
where 1t has been tried. tThey see, above
all, the disastrous effect upon the busl-
ness interests of the entire country, pro-
duced by the robbery and ruin which In.
evitsbly follow the compulsory govern
ment of the Southern people by men
who come among them to plunder and
oppress them.
There is a growing feeling that while the
Federal Government is being prostituted
in the interest of ::set of adventures
who want to run the Southern govern
ments against the will of the Southern
people, and while the military srmiS held
ready at the bidding of corrupt and un-
scrupulous Radical otfice-seekers, to
crush anv effort at local self-government
in a Southern State, the result must
necessarily be to ALLEVIATE the sympsthles
of the South and render her careless OF
the fortunes of a government which she
knows only through It's outrages and Its
expressions.
In the interest of patriotism and of
public prosperity, the country can no
longer look with indifference upon the
wholesale. indiscriminste use of Federal
bayonets in carrying Southern elections.
i
ltis a precedent which tolerated too long
may be applied in any Northern State
/ as we'll as in South Carolina. If calmly
submitted to now. the day may come
when usurpatlon, emboldeaed by popu-
lar forbearance, may make fair cleo
tion as hard to hold IN Massachusetts, as
in South Carolina.
The late proclamation OF the Presi-
dent and the orders Of the Secretary of
War which accompany it, are full of
mischief. Issued under the absurd and
false pretence that the South Carolina
Legislature cannot be convened to take
steps to prevent disorder in the state
these papers represent the readiness OF
the Administration to use, on the feeb-
lest prete1t, the entire military power
of the country to retain IN
Office such Infamous scamps as
Governor CHAMBERLAIS, and to pre-
serve the ascendency of the Republican
party at the sacrifice of the liberties of
the people.

How the Detectives Made Mistake

ST LOUIS, October 2l.-The Journal
of Commerce, published in Kansas City,
speaking Of the release of Goodwin,
brought here under the supposition that
he was Frank James, gives the follow
ing account of how the detectives made
The mistake in arresting him: The
James boys were in the vicinity OF the
.,lace where Goodwin was, and had been
racked there three days before. They
stsved at d mans house in that neigh
hood. Tse- woods in the vicinity
were picketed, and there were men
enough, within hslling distance,
to have rescued Goodwin had
it been necessary, but the wrong
man was to them happy accident, The
arrest alarmed them and the boys in the
meantime were removed. The Detec-
tives had traced the James boys to that
neighborhood and it was through the talk
of DR.. holland about his patient that
they were misled. The wounded leg and
the fact of their being in the neighbor-
hood naturally led to the blunder by
which the outlaws have again escaped
and the vigilance committee talk has
been the protecting screen behind which
they have once more eluded justice, but
they are in the county yet.

The theory of Republican estimates
on the Presidential election is that TIL
DEN can't be elected if he carries all the
States, while HAYES can win without
getting any votes at all. The Radical
mind reposes the most sublime confidence
in the bayonet and the bullet as political
factors
