REPRESENTATIVE DOCCLAsS, chairman
OF the Freedman Savings bank investi-
eating committee, has invited the world at
large to come forward with any kind OF
evidence regarding the transactions of that
institution. Without stopping TO inquire
into the propriety of seeking &C parts testi-
mOny in this way. we desire to call atten-
lion TO the fact that the expense of this in
vcstigation will turn out to be useless
waste of money. The records Of the bank
are accessible not only to the committee,
but, we believe, TO the public at large,
and they embrace about all the informa-
tion required for the purposes of the pend
ing investigation. 1t seems, however, that
Mr.. Douglass has thrown out drag net,
expecting, no doubt, 20 get hold of some
thing which will serve in the way of hear
say SANDER to blacken the character of re-
putable people.

ME-. WADDELL, of North Carolina, prob
ably has reason to complain of the treat
ment he received at the hands of Speaker
Kerr last week, regarding his Cuban reso-
luton. As the story comes to us from dis
interested parties, Mr.. Waddell made an
especial agreement with the Speaker to be
recognized at certain time for the purpose
of presenting that resolution. When that
certain Time arrived he rose to his feet and
attempted to get the floor, but Mr.. Kerr.
with the most unblushing partiality, recog-
nized his especial favorite, Mr.. Morrison,
of Illinois, who embraced the opportunity
to present a resolution in many respects
similar 10 the one Mr. Kaddell had tried tn
introduce. Since then, however, the latter
has succeededin in presenting another resolu-
tion embracing q call for the correspondence
between the United States and other Gov
ernments than Spain regarding Cuba, which
was not provided for in Mr.. Morrison s
resolution. When this call is responded to
the public will be placed in possession of
the full text of the American note

Is ANOTHER PORTION Of this ISSUE we
print the decision of Chancellor Hill of
Mississippi in suit brought by jeff. Davis
to recover a portion OF his late brothers
estate, (S7O,0O0.) 1t appears that this
brother willed JEFF. S children $50, 000 and
made JEFF. one of the executors Of the will.
JEFF. brought claim against the estate for
$4,000, which was allowed in the nature
of a compromise. lie then continued for
some years TO receive commissions for act
ing as CO executor, but finally brought suit
against the residuary legatees for $4,000
Sfthe trust in which he had so long been n
ro-executor. His companions resisted this
claim, and the opinion of the Chancellor
upholds their action. This is q kind of
honor and chivalry that would not win a
great name in the North. This Is the kind
of honor upon which Democratic House
has been trying to thrust an amnesty in
order that we NAV get it back in the
Senate
National Republican., 1876-01-24

If THE DISCUSSION of the amnesty ques-
tien should be revived to-day it may be
well TO remember that in one of his
speeches at Atlanta during reconstruction
in his own State, TO congenial or sympa-
thizing audience, Mr.. Ben. Hill declared :
81 would rather have my name recorded in
the books of the Georgia penitentiary than in
the books of the removal OF disabilities. Do
you not know, my friends, that when you go
10 Congress and ask for the removal of disa-
bilities, you admit that yoW hare been traitors ?"

the Senator-elect from Kentucky, holds
the same opinion. Verify, the Southern
Democracy seems TO have forgotten that
the nation survived five years of unequaled
civil strife. The truth is that in their haste
10 forget and forgive the past they over
look the fact that the war occurred and
ignore the issues at stake in it, as well as
the result of the contest.

the Republican party, these facts are re-
spectfully submitted to the consideration
of such scheming so-called Liberals as hlr.
Sam Bowles and Murat Halstead. They
might have said fortnight ago that Mr.
Blaine would be acceptable to them; but
they can hardly do so now any more than
they can consistently indorse Mr.. Morton.
In short, Mr.. Blaine's recent course has
had the effect-creditable to bim-of sever

past been supposed to exist between him
and the assistant Democratic press.

THE BUFFALO Express remarks: "If

"loyalty made odiOus, and traitors on the

orally true. The traitors are, undoubt-

Htw the Negroes are Treated in Georgia

lfrom the Crawiord (EeorSla) Echo'I
1t is a notorious fact that those farmers who are
the tightest on the negroes In their employ never
fail to get as many hands as they wish. We know
several of our largest planters who treat the ne
groes working for them exactly as they did their
slaves-workIng them from daylight to suadown,
allow no dllng, and, If darkey trespasses any Of
the rules, he is tied up and q sound thrashiny ad
minstered to him; then If he leaves, the employer
hunts him up, brings him back and doubles tho
dose. This generally makes an eifectual cure,
and the offender resumes work, makes good
hand, and is anxious to hire to the same man
another year. The employer has got value re-
ceiyed out Of his hands, and 10, consequently, able
sides will be better eatisfied. Let them govern
you, and the country will soon 20 to the dogs.

were also formed in line of battle, two entire
blocks.
The United States troops came up behind the
rifle clubs, when the latter opened their ranks
and allowed the troops to come between them
and the negroes, who then ceased firing. The
whites then made urgent appeals to the troops for
protection. Indeed, the white democrats request

Many of our people are interested in the work of
the Woman's Temperance Union, a branch of the
Union having been organized in this city. The
national convention of the Union was held in New
ark, n. j., the last day of October. We copy the
following from the Newark Morning Register of
Oct 2Sth, in regard to the convention
zone of the most remarkable conventions ever
held Ia Newark, that of the Woman's National
Temperate Union, will close its meetings 10 NOR
row. For dignity, patience, perseverance,, clo-
quence in debates, knowledge of parliamentary
law and high and determined purpose it has never
had its equal 10 this city. Lady delegates of edu-
cation and refinement from the Middle, Eastern and
NortAen and Southern States, backed by thousands
of earnest worker among their number, have uni
ted to put down the liquor traffic. In their de-
berations they have been perfectly fair courteous,
considerate, and have won the good will, esteem
and admiration even of those who differ from
them.
The tact and talent displayed by this remark
able convention has grown upon the people OF
Newark from day to day, and there is now a
ings. S''''"' WISH - N''" I'll ABOUT '"' P'0'''"
To crafty this wish the Register gave a re-

We have received from Mrs. w G. Sargent OF
Ssrgenville Prest. of the w. c. T. U. of the State
of Maine, the annual report of the National Union
that is doing a benefcent and most glorious
work.
Our local Unions are mighty aids to the Re
form Understanding behind the "boys" and en-
couraging them in their good resoutions-help -
ing them in their noble purpose to keep the
pledge. They have every encouragement to press
forward in the great work they have undertaken
Efforts will be made the coming year to establish
these Unions in every city, town and village Of
he country.
