"a REWARD OFFERED"
The young man of the Gazette, il

The young man of the Gazette, in
his "meanderings" must have added
to his stock of impudence which was
already sufficiently large and seems to
have fabricated his tongue afresh
Judging from the ease with which it
rolls off SANDERS, and the facility with
which he pervcrts the truth Ito call
it no harsher name. He opens his
article, the heading Of which we have
copied above, with the statement
that the registration books show a
registered colored majority of HOO.
The books can not truthfully show
any such majority, as we have taken
the pains in another article to prove
and if they do show, there has been
either a mistake made, or there is q
fraudulent count. He supplements
this statement with the assertion
that "of these there can be found
fifty men who will not walk up to
the polls and vote the Republican
ticket, if left to follow their own in
clinations." When the voting time
comes we will show the verdant young
man many times fifty of them who
will walk up to the polls and vote the
Democratic Conservative ticket of
their own accord. The day has
passed when they can claim all the
registered colored voters as Republi-
cans, and this the young man knows
as we'll as we do.
He then says that "divers and sun
dry schemes have been devised by
the Democrats for keeping voters
from the Polls" This statement is
unqualifiedly false. No scheme has
been, or will be devised to keep any
body from the polls, but we intend to
march everybody we can, square to
the polls to vote our ticket openly
and above board. Nor has there
been instituted any system, duplex
or tripled of persuasion, bribery and
intimidation" Persuasion alone and
legitimate argument have been used
and it is because they have met with
such success, that the young man
must needs attempt to make up re-
cord for the Returning Board. The
falsehood is as unfounded as the mo-
tive is apparent. If sit has come out
that not less than 500 colored voters
of Rapides were in this way kept
from voting in 1872" it has "come
out" of his vigorous imagination,
which has already been able to man
ufacture reception committees and
make "General'' out of that poor
little carpet Dagger, Souer.
And now, as to the reward offered
and the article copied from the N. o.
Republican about the $500 fine, we
say to the stool pigeon what we have
said to the Treasurer of the cam
paign fund, we dare you to try it, we
defy you to your teeth, and we will
give you a case to start on whenever
you get ready. Such bosh and bla-
ther-skiting can't scare anybody.
Try something else!

The EMPLOYEES OF THE HOUSE


HE EMPLOYEES OF THE HOUSE,
OF all the campaign falsehoods,
which form the entire stock in trade
of the Republican party, none is
more utterly baseless than the one
that exConfederate soldiers have
been given monopoly Of positions
in the House of Representatives.
The lie has been repeated on every
Republican stump from Maine to
Texas, and by every Republican
speaker from Blaine, the arch cor
ruptionist, down to the most insig-
nifcant cross-road spouter. The
whole story is the exact reverse of
the truth, and known to be an after
fabrication by nearly every one who
has made the charge. The employ
ees of the House are 232 in number
and of these only % are ex Confede-
rate soldiers. The Union States
have It's positions, while only 81 are
held by persons from States engaged
in the Rebellion, and of these 81
many were loyal to the Union during
the war. 81 of the old employees are
retained, and the list includes Is
colored men and Sc Union soldiers,
of whom 10 were wounded in the SER
vice. The number of Union soldiers
employed is exactly double the num-
Der of Confederate soldiers, and the
employees from Union States are over
three times as great as those from
Rebel States.
The Union soldiers employed by
the Republican House in the 43d
Congress-, numbered, as far as can be
ascertained, only SO, so that the
Democratic House has given EN-.
ployment to more Union soldiers than
the Republican House which prece.
ded it. In other words, the Demo
cratic House appointed three Union SOL
dlers for erery taco appointed By TIT
Republicans.

4 WORD TO THE W0RKINGMEN.

| W OAD Az AHE W OAAlVUH LNs
What party has controlled the af-
fairs of the nation for the past 16
years? The Republican party. Who
has levied and collected enormous
taxes, given away millions of acres of
our public lands, plundered the Ma
tional treasury, squandered our reve-
nues, paralyzed our industries, closed
our mines, rolling mills, furnaces,
FORCES and workshops, and brought
our people to starvation, bankruptcy
and ruin; thrown thousands of hon
est men out of work and banished
them from their homes to tramp"
upon every thoroughfare and high
way in the land in pursuit of employ
ment2 Is it not the Republican
party that is responsible for all this
stagnation in business; for all this
misery and woe?
Shall we give this party which has
been guilty Of these crimes, of this
outrageous career, a new lease of
power? Shall we vote for Hayes and
Wheeler and thus perpetuate the
reign Of Grantism? Shall we be
drawn into decoy movement and
cajoled into the farce of voting for
Cooper and Carey, who cannot posi-
bly, obtain single electoral vote, and
thereby aid in continuing the Repub-
lican party in power? Or shall we
act the part of sensible men, and vote
in manner that our ballots will
count in the great battle for reform
which will come off in November.
Is it not folly, is it not madness in
us, who have suffered such deep
wrongs at the hands of the Republi-
can party, to waste our strength upon
this Peter Cooper movement, which
can bring US no relief
Shall we not act like wise men and
vote with the army of reform that is
now marching on under the leader
ship of those fearless, gallant and
honest leaders, Tilden and Hen
bricks? There is but one escape
from our present difficulty; there is
but one road which will lead us out
Of our fearful condition, but one
course left for US to pursue, and that
is to vote for Tilden and Hendricks.
Business and working men, shall we
not do this, and achieve a victory
decisive and completed
In the event of the election of
Tilden and Hendricks, new era will
dawn upon us, which will revive
trade, set the industries Of the nation
in motion, giving employment to
laborers, mechanics and artisans in
every vocation and calling. Vote for
Tilden, Hendricks and a restoration
of our crippled industries and gene
raj revival of business.

was $4,000, 900; in 1860 it was $780,

200 per cent, while the population of
