"Yer Honor" said johnson, as he
dropped one arm over the rail and
leaned back heavily on the police

paused he coughed dry, raking
cough, aud drew his tsttered coat
closer about his throat.
"When I went up before he con-
tinued, 81 always counted the days

upon his almost shoeless feet.

THE South most needs that peace which
is begotten of supremacy of law. 1t must
be that supremacy Of Law which protects
the person, the property, the life, the
rights, immunites and privileges of the
humblest of her citizens as well as those of
her hereditary landholders. 1t must be
such supremacy of law as will guarantee to
the humblest laboter, even though his skin
be of ebony darkness, the proper remunera-
ton for his labor when performed. Gov
ernor Hayes well says in his letter of &C
ceptance that call parts of the Constitution
care sacred, and must be sscredly observed,
"the parts that are new no less than the
"parts that are old" All the people must
recognize in good faith the rights of all.
The South cries for skilled and intelligent
labor, yet it refuses to educate and protect
and remunerate the labor it now has This
course repels rather than attracts labor
from abroad of higher class. Intelligent
and skilled labor knows to what it owes Its
superiority, and it will not countenance by
It's presence a country or a section which
coRtemns and Expresses labor of an inferior
character. Land proprietors in the South
will never find their property in demand
or valuable in production until they change
their tactics in regard to their treatment of
labor. Without labor their lands will not
bear taxation, while with it, properly cher
ished and protected, they will bear the
taxes necessary for all the requirements of
government including the education of
their labor. 1t is the labor of all countries
which bears the taxation. Governor Hayes
understands the labor problem thoroughly.
He fully comprehends its relation to taxa
ton and to education. Let the South heed
his advice

of their just rights Of property, and Con-
gress should remedy the evil. Those we
allude to are the contractors, sub-con-
tractors and laborers who have doae SO
much to improve and beautify the city,
and who are yet unpaid because thei- &C
counts are unadjusted. The House OF
Representatives has passed bill
entitled IAN act providing for
"the adjustment of claims against the
District of Columbia, and for other pur-
"poses," and this bill has been referred to
the Senate Committee on the District
So far it has not been reported to the Sen
ate. On Saturday memorial was present
ed to the Senate by Senator Merrimon ask
ing for the passage of that act. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment of three commits
sioners to adjust these claims and report
them to the next Congress. We do not
approve of the manner of appointing the
commissioners provided for in the bill, but
by amending it so that the President ap-
points the commissioners it would be right.
The Senate Committee on the District
should report the bill so amended without
delay, and pass it through the Senate. The
Democrats cannot object, because they
claim to be the friends of the laboring
men, and hundreds of laboring men are in
terested in the passage of this act. The
bill is now in charge of Democrat, Sena-
tor Merrimon, of North Carolina and it
rests with him to smother it or to bring it
before the committee, and thus secure its
passage. We will see what his action is

DISTRICT CLAIMS,

One of the highest obligations of Gov
eminent is to its citizens. This is most
particularly so in our Government, where
the people are the source of all power.
This being so, it is the duty of the Govern
ment to provide that every man shalt be
protected in his rights. Life, liberty and
property are among the recognized rights
of the people. Ii is incumbent upon the
Government to protect every citizen in
each and all Of these rights. The people
who reside in the District of Columbia are
directly under the charge of the Congress
of the United States, and on that body
rests the responsibility of their protection.
1t is an undisputed fact that many of the
citizens Of the District are NOW deprived

THE CLEAR and concise expression of his
views by Governor Hayes, in his letter of
acceptance, upon civil service reform ex-
cites the indignation of the Democratic
press, because it is fatal blow to that car
dinal Democratic principle announced by
jackson, ITO the victors belong the
spoils. The Governor plants himself
squarely upon the platform advocated by
this journal for years past, that the Con-
sutution never contemplated the distribu-
ton of official patronage by the represent
atiyes of thepeople. 1t is absurd to sup
pose that the trainers of that instrument
designed that the legislators who created
the Offices should also have the power to
nj item with their friends. On the con-
trary. they were at the especial pains to
provide that such appointments should be
made by the Executive. If Governor
Hayes is elected he will succeed in break
ing up this great evil, which has grown up
among us.since the time of Jackson, until
the custom has almost the force of law,
which permits Congressman of the dom
inant party to dictate the disposal of the
official patronage Of their States and dis
tricts. Let him do this, and restore the
Executive Office to the full exercise of its
true prerogatiVes in this respect, and he
will receive, as he will also deserve, the
plaudits of the people. The Democratic
politicians will hate him, of course, but
from them he can expect nothing better.

THE financial situation and its remedy
are FLY characterized by the Republican
candidate in sentences so brief and Ian
guage SO clear that no one can fail to COM
prehend their meaning. He is for prompt
compliance with all national promises in
accordance with their letter and spirit. He
thinks Government due bill or greenback,
being the promise of all the people collec-
lively to pay the amount named on its face,
should be redeemed just as promptly as if
it were given by private individual. The
failure to so redeem the promises of the
nation in coin or its equivalent is the syno-
nym of national dishonor. This means
that the labor of the country should be paid
in dollars worth one hundred cents each,
instead OF those which will realize only
eighty five or eighty-six cents.

SOUTH CAROLINA RACE WAR.

In day or two more we shall hear the
truth in regard to 'the negro riot" at Ham
burg. We can tell the story now as well
as if we had been present and saw the
whole affair. A company of colored mill
tia were parading in the little town Of
Hamburg. Two white men attempted to
pass through the ranks. and were not per-
mitted to do SO. They cursed 'the id
niggers" and went for their friends. These
armed themselves and without authority of
law took the captain of the company before
a justice of the peace. The colored COM
pany released him without noise or confu-
sion, and then the whites shouted: "Klll
the id niggers They are getting up
"a riot" Runners were sent out and
large numbers of men collected, when the
colored militia retreated into house for
protection. From this they were driven
by the use of piece Of artillery, and quite
a number were killed-shot down while
endeavoring to escape from the ruthless
Ku-Klux murderers- We do not know
how many were killed, for the six reported
by the agent of the Associated Press were
only those killed on the main streets of the
town; those shot down in the back alleys
in their humble cabins or in the woods and
fields are never counted by these press
agents or by the fiends who murder them.
But they are reckoned up by others. Their
blood cries from the earth to the great God
of Heaven for vengeance. He notes them
all. 1t also calls to the loyal people of the
North. 1t appeals to them to protect those
of their race who are not yet murdered
from the assassin's bullet. The loyal peo-
pie of the North will count all who fall.
From letter in another column it will be
seen that the preliminary work has com
menced In South Carolina for campaign
such as placed Lamar in the Senate from
Mississippi. The Hamburg massacre was
probably intended TO assist in intimidating
tie colored men of South Carolina.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

OF the fifteen elected Presidents not one of
them was an inhabitant of any of our large cities
at the time of his nomination. Tilden is a resi-
dent Of the Empire city of the land, and as the
above rule has no exceptions his paid puffs
and sham demonstrations respecting reform
will avail him nothing.
The great sale which was advertised to take
place at St. Louis terminated June 80. The
highett bidder was Samuel Jones Tilden, of
New York, being the most responsible party,
financially, represented at the sale, conse-
quently became the possessor of the estate,

contestants. Whether the $3.50, 900 said to have

NOTHING could be more happy than the
emphatic declaration of Governor Hayes in
favor Of securing Tor all time the anti-sec-
tartan character of our public schools by
constitutional amendment. This doctrine
will meet with a ringing response from all
sections of the country. Prompt attention
TO this question in the manner proposed
will save the country from angry sectarlan
contests IN the future. All denominations
