a FEw MORE FIGURES,


II il well known that the Republican
party expected to pcrpctuato It's power
10y the weight of the negro vote turning
the scale in presidential elections, The
reconstruction acts were framed to ne
complish that object, The monstrous
frauds, pldnder and oppression OF the
Southern States under the Republican
carpetbag governments grew out OF the
conspiracy between these governments
and the government at Washington to
make the benightcd negroes the ruling
element. There is not an intelligent
citizen in the country, North or South,
Democrat or Republican, lhot does not
know this to be II fact, And it is be-
cause that minority OF tho negroes
South, the most enlightened of them
have thought proper to vote with the
Democrats, that the Republican man.
ayers and leaders rave with disappoint-
ment, and ondcayor to overthrow the
election of rildcn and Hendricks by
hckery,
We estimate tho population of the
Republic within the voting States cX-
elusive of the territories and the non.
voting Chinese and Indians, to be ii,
100000. The census of 1870 gives Il
population orncarly 39,0O0OOO, 10 add
something over 100000 for the it,
crease since the census was taken is he.
low the average OF preceding cores
ponding periods. We may safely place
the population, therefore ut 100000
within the States voting for President
The white population probably is A.
0OO,O0 and the colored 100000, For
obvious reasons, which every statisti-
tician will understand, we do not give
the same rate OF increase to the colored
as to the white population.
The popular vote for president in 1872
was 6,463,0l3. Considering the increase
of population the last four years, and
the unusually large vote polled at the
election last Tuesday the total number
Of votes in the last election will amount
probably to over 1900, 900 This would
be n lutte over one vote for every six
and a-half persons.
Well, then, according to the political
arrangement of the Republican party,
100000 of negroes, most of whom are
grossly ignorant are to rule 4l,0O0,00

they are to exercise the balance of pow

United States, Fortunately minority,
small though it be, OF the mass Of ne.
gro voters have left the Republican
purity, and the vote of that minority adj
ded to the white vote, has given the
Southern States to the Democrats.

and colored population, according to

THE BEGINNING or THE END.

The South Carolina Board of Can,
vassers, in violation of their plightcd
faith, and solemn resolution that they
would take no action until their powers
and duties were defined by the Supreme
Court, have, in defiance of law, of JUS
tice, and of right secretly issued GER
ticates of election to tho Hayes
electors, and to Republican members of
the Legislature, thus defeating Hampton
as well rs dcirauding Tilden of his
votes, The counties of Edgsheld and
Laurens, which cast large Democratic
majorties, were thrown out 10 effect
their purposes This action was taken
pending n rule Of the Supreme Court
that Edgeiicld and Laurens counties
MouE be counted, and that the state
mcnts of county canvassers showing
frauds ShOuM be corrected. Thus have
tho rights OF Democrats and ireemen in
South Carolina been trqmpled in the
very dust. Thus have the conserya-
tivcs, after unparalleled cXertions, u
gallant fight, and n glorious victory over
the direst wrongs and most appalling
oppression, been UNANIMOUSLY swindled
and defrauded of their rights, denied
the control of their State gov
eminent, and virtually condemned to
life of terrorism misery and despair
too shocking even for contemplation.
And yet this is but precedent Tor ac-
ton in Florida and louisiana Those
two States will be stripped of their
Democratic majorities by boards of can
vnssers composed of Radical thieves,
vagabonds and desperate adventures
South Carolina has been stricken down
the stunning and dishsarteniug blow
has fallen there, and it will surely fol.
low in Florida and Louisiana. The pro
gramme is being dimly outlined, and
Democrats and patriots can gaze upon il
rs the dark curtain is gradually drawn
aside, Troops are being massed at the
national pital tho arsenals are being
replenishcd with ammunition, aud when
the Democratic House meets they will
find the CLEAN of bNyonets flashing
upon their sight, aud roll OF artillery
wagons laundering in their ears The
nation must be kept in the hands of
loyal men, and Hayes shall be installed,
or Grant will never surrender tho con.
troll OF the government, are the open
declarations OF ribald revolutionists.
For this purpose Grant is pouring
troops into and around Washing.

them.

Telephony.

We are informed by the Erpositor that
at party at the residence of Prof. A.
Melville Bell, Brantford, on Friday even
ing, rare treat was afforded to the guests
in the experimental explanations made by
Prof. A. Graham Bell, Of Boston, of the
new system Of telephony lately invented
by that gentleman. instruments were
placed, one in the porch Of the residence
and the other in an clubhouse on the
+ grounds, and communication between
these made by tensmiles sof wire. Musi-
cal notes, the human voice, and songs
spoken and sung before one instrument
We're plainly audible by placing the in
strument to the ear at the other BY this
invention, too, any number of messages
can be conveyed over one wire in either
direction, provided they have different
pitch the tones of the voice can pass over
the electric, wire, enabling the nearer at
any distance to hear distinctly what is
said, and to distinguish the voice of the
speaker. On Thursday the professor had
communication made with his instrument
on the common telegraph wire between
Brantford and Mount Pleasant five
miles,, and was spoken with while in
Mount Pleasant, by, Prof. D. {. -Bell and
MI. Griffin from the Dominion office IN
Brantford. On Saturday evening the pro-
fessor tried = new experiment, having had
an Instrument made 50, that three persons
could sing different tunes Of; different
parts OF the same tune into the instrument
at the same time. The trial was perfectly

Preventing a Wedding.

How Virginia girl prevented her
fathers second marriage is thus described
by the Richmond Wing: Some months
since, an elderly gentleman, highly re-
spected and widower, met with widow
who lives in the upper part of the city
The acquaintance soon ripened into
friendship, and the friends of the gentle
man were surprised to see him riding with
the young widow in his buggy. The next
news that reached them was an invitation
to be present at his wedding, which would
be private and would take place at the
lady's house. The time for the ceremony
was last Wednesday. 1t seems that the
gentleman thus contemplating matrimony
IS the father of a young lady who, until a
few days before the time fixed for the
wedding, had been kept in ignorance of
the whole affair. Her father told her that
he intended to marry again, and went on
to praise the lady who would be her STEP
mother. The intelligence shocked the
young lady. She had not dreamed of such
4 thing. She at once protested against
the proposed match-would not hear of it.
She did more than this-she sent for sew
eral of the intimate friends of her father,
and then, in their presence, earnestly ap-
pealed to him to break off the match.
The gentleman is very much attached to
his daughter, but for time he resisted
all her pleadings. The young lady de-
clared she would leave the house the in
slant the widow entered it. Her grief at
the resistance of her father was great, and
she tainted several times. Her screams
soon brought in the whole neighborhood.
Finally, she succeeded in making him
promise that he would not marry the wild
ow, and made him give her the assurance ss;rs
Although the minister had been spoken
to, the time fixed, and arrangements made
for the wedding Wednesday night, it did
not come off, Some of the invited guests
assembled at the house, but there was
nothing about it to indicate that we'd
ding would take place, and, marveling
much, they left. 1t is to be presumed
now that the ceremony will not come off.
