gent portion OF the negro element that
their individual as well g. the general
interests will be best protected and main
tanned through the continued assendancy
of the Democratic party. This convic-
ton has brought about the formation OF
large Tilden and Hendricks clubs in
nearly every county in the state. In Ok
ford the colored Democratic club mum.
bers two hundred and forty-one members;
the club in Jackson is over two hundred
strong: and the Clarion OF that city says
that before the day of the election. no
less than twenty-five thousand Mi.sis-
sippi negroes viii be banded together in
Democratic clubs. This is 4 hopeful
sign: and gives abundant assurance
that, unless these negroes are driven by

voters.

a PRELIMINARY examination OF fifty
five of the Hamburg rioters was held be-
fore Judge Maher. on Tuesday last, when
the counsel for the accused submitted the
affidayits of one hundred and thirty-five
prominent and substantial citizens, all of
them agreeing upon the one fact that the
shooting was commenced by the negroes
from the building where they were bar
ricaded, and that not a single shot was
fired by the whites, until white man
named Merriweather, was shot through
the head and killed. 1t was further
proven that q cannon and ammunition
had been secured by the negroes, several
days before the collision, and stored away
in their armory, avowcdly for use in a
contemplated con flict with the whites.
After devoting day to the examination.
Judge Maher held the accused ia bond
OF 81 .000 each TO ans wer such charge as
might be preferred against them by the
grand jury. The bonds was promptly
filled and the prisoners discharged. 1t

ALTHOUGH, it has been shown by I'M
Improbable testimony that Governor
Tilden was, during the war, in hearty
sympathy with cause Of the union, the
Radical newspapers OF the country re-
produce the peace plank" Of the Nc
Clellan platform, and unblushingly in
sist that he was the author OF il. To
deny this, and to prove that Tilden
steadily and almost violently opposed
the adoption OF this resolution, would
not convince a single Republican editor,
in the country, against his will. The
men who published Greeley-the Oldest,
brayest and most persistent OF abolition
ists--as All enemy Of the black man, and
the representative Of party that sought
the reinstatement Of the freedmen-such
men can never be moved by either force
Of facts or considerations Of justice, to
speak the truth concerning Tilden.

The disappointment OF Clapp to Il

The disappointment OF Clapp to the
position OF public printer is only one of
the many thousand outrages that have
rendered the Grant administration
stencil in the nostrils Of honest men, and
disgrace to the country. Appearing
before the house committee, Clapp
openly confessed that he had stolen
money and materials entrusted to him I;
and upon the strength Of this admission
the house handed him oyer to the senate
Tor punishment and dismissal. The
senate had SO familiarized itself with
cases Of THEFT, however, that they saw no
turpitude In the conduct OF Clapp. and
refused TO take any action in the prem.
ises. But not SO the president. Clapp
was the very man he wanted. He could
steal to the advantage of the party, dur.
ing the recess OF congress, and straight
way the president nominated him AZ
"public printer" The senate confirmed
him, and the old thief is in his place
again.

that the Augusta Sentinel, a friendly pa

owed his former power in the political

his political desperation be explained.

The General demanded and received the
money, remarking at the time, that the
execution had cost him soldier, and it
was his duty to use the $500 in the pur-
chase of another. And that was the last
ever heard Of the 800. Albert McGawen,
mayor Of Pomeroy, Ohio; General w.

with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in The back part.

prickly sensation of the skim his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
