DURING the recent farce in Georgia,
yclept an election, thousands of colored
voters were kept from the polls upon va
rious pretexts. A correspondent in At
lanta writes that he saw dozens of negroes
deprived of the ballot, being told by the
managers that they were ''too old to vote, !"
and unless a voter had grey hairs he was
admonished that he was ''too young to
vote" With such glaring frauds, it is not
surprising that Democratic journals in
Georgia are attempting to explain away
their large majority? While other States are
wont to boast of their msjorities it re mains
for unreconstructed Georgia to offer excuses
for the wholesale manner in which they
intimidated voters.

in overcoming the large Republican major
ity in the First district. But they reckon
without their host this time. Colonel Bry-
ant is first-class organizer, and has the
party in his district thoroughly in hand,
The full vote of the Republican party will
be polled, and Colonel Bryant win be tri-
umphantly elected. This will be a great
gain for the next Congress, as Colonel Bry-
ant is not only man Of fine abilities, but
thorough and staunch Republican, who will
do honor to the position.

WADE HAMPTON and his White Line
allies care nothing for numbers. By sheer
brute force they propose to overcome q
majority of forty thousand Republican
voters. 1t is true they will have to use
the knife and the bullet freely, but what
care they so long as the flesh pots are thus
brought within their graspl Barred out
from the Treasury upon which they sub,
sisted prior to the war, they have resolved
to again enter its portals, if necessary, by
walking over the bloody remains of thou
sands of Republicans. If Hampton is not
conspirator we would like to have one
pointed out to us, and as such he should be
arrested and lodged in Jail without the ben
efits of hdbeGS corpus

LET the white men of North Carolina
remember the hardships, suferings and
privations which the blatherskite Vance
imposed upon them during the late war;
let them call to mind visions of bloodhounds
pursuing weary soldiers who deserted the
rebel armies, and their wives and daughters
hands mashed between fence rails, because
they would not reveal the whereabouts oi
their husbands and fathers, and then ask
themselves whether they will vote for that
smiable gentleman, Judge Settle, or for
the monster who caused them so many
heartrendings in 1868 and 1854 when he
was obeYing the behests of JEFF. Davis.

IT WOULD have been far better for the
victims of Hamburg and EIlenton and
Lsurens had the right of suffrage never
been conferred upon them, as in that event
there would have been no incentive for
Butler and Hsgcod to murder them. The
average Southern negro must entertain a
supreme contempt for the Government
which conferred the rights and privileges
of citizenship upon him, and now virtually
declines to protect him in those rights. He
is beginning to ask himself if it is really a
crime to be Republican.

THE manner in which the Democrats of
Georgia propose to elect all the Democratic
candidates for Congress from that State is,
to say the least ingenious In the county
where the city of Savannah Is situated
there are several thousand colored voters
and only one polling place for the entire
population, which is in the city of Savan-
nah. The white Democrats get possession
of that, and thus prevent the colored men
from voting. The Hon. John E. Bryant,
who is the Republican candidate for Con-
q,ess from that district, informs US that in
this way the Democrats expect to succeed

their seats in Congress, bade goodbye to

again to dictate the same policy that they
then failed to securef

REFORM is the cry of the Democrats,
and they have some curious ways oil
showing that they are reformers. One Of
their campaign tricks, which fairly Illus
trates their mode of transacting business,
has just come to light. Some Of the Re-
publican campaign documents have been
prepared for distribution at the Capitol
upon the orders of Republican Congress.
men. A gentleman opening some Of
these packages discovered that Demo
cratic documents had been inserted in the
envelopes instead of those ordered. Thus
goes the campaign for reform.

A DEMOCRAT gives as a reason why
Hayes cannot be elected President that he
did not seek the nomination and will dc
nothing to secure his election. This is just
what the people approve. They will see

sonal efforts would avail, TIlden's election
would be assured.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

District day at the Centennial means also
Virginia day, Maryland day, and in fact the
day of all the Southern States. That partic-
ularly Southern institution, the modern tour
nament, is attracting much attention from the
people of the North and West, so that Alto
gether Thursday will show next to, if not the
largest days attendance, since the opening of
the great Exhibition. Should the weather be
fine and the attendance exceed that Of Penn
sylvania the Quakers will be so chagrined
they will want another day for Pennsylvania
day, and insist upon suspending business and
ordering out the whole State on the occasion.
A gentleman residing at present in Norwalk,
Ohio, who formerly resided at Margaretts,
Mich, and was familiar with the iron trade
and Tilden & Co.'s operations in that vicinity,
states that large amount of the scrip issued
as money by Tilden's iron company is still out
and unredeemed, being held by poor working
men in that country, and some time since ap-
plication was made to the parties who
formerly constituted the company to redeem
the same, and that all consented but Tilden,
who told the agent to get his pay If he could,
knowing very we'll that it would be impossible
for multitude of poor men to bring suits in
different States for comparatively small
amounts. This would seem to confirm other
reports in regard to the real character of Mr..
Tilden in business matters.

dividend 1t is believed, than has ever been paid by
any other company on policy Of the same age.
This percentage will probably be increased from
year to year. Remember that this result has been
achieved in only six years, only one more than
Fund Policies. If so desirable a result can be re-
allied in short time II readily be seen that
the periods increase in length, with proportion

hold are permitted to run unmoiest-

Tt is well known to the country that
Floyd the last Democratic occupant
of the War Office, committed crime
against his country in comparison
with which that of Belknap's sinks
into insignifcance. Floyd sought to
rob the Government of its means of
defense against the secession con-
spirators. He made use of his Of
fee and authority, as the Gin
cinnati Commercial expresses it, "to
send all the arms, ammunition, and
supplies he could from the Northern
arsenals and magazines to the South,
and with a distinct understanding
of the purposes to which they were
to be applied" This was treason,
the greatest crime known to civilized
society. Now for the sequel. A
Democratic Senator rose in his place
in the Senate of the Nation a few
days since, and undertook to defend
these reasonable acts Of Floyd!
Excused the crime and the crimi-
nall. Nothing more need be said.

Strange.

The Louisville Courier-Journal
publishes telegram dated Mt. Ster-
ling, KY, March Sth, which conveys
the intelligence that during that day
a most wonderful phenomenon trans
pired in that section. 1t says that
during sunshine and clear sky there
fell from the heavens quivering flesh,
which came down in large quantities,
and filled many acres of territory.
Hogs and chickens eagerly devoured
the flesh, specimens of which have
been sent to Louisville for scientific
examination.
LATER.-Prof. Smith, of Louis
vile, has made an analysis of speci-
mems, and says:
ain my mind this matter gives every
indication of being the dried spawn of
the Batrachian reptiles, doubtless that
of the frog. They have been transport
ed from the ponds and swampy grounds
by currents of winds, and have ulti-
mately fallen on the spot where they
were found. This is no isolated occur
renee of the kind. L having come
