4 Horrible Death.

About month ago Alexander Scott, n
farmer living near Cherry Hill indulged

secured was a fine looking animal, but at
the time was suffering from some disease
of the head. Mr.. Scott believed it to be
"distemper." and did not object to run

False Friends Of the Negroes

We invite all candid men and all those
who have at heart the welfare of the ne
gro citizens of the South to contemplate
the political canvass now proceeding in
South Carolina.
The rival candidates for Governor in
that proud old State are General Wade
Hampton and Gov. Chamberlain. The
one is man of spotless reputation. It's
true he was foremost among those who
rebelled against the rightful authority of
the United States, and fought uninterrup-
tedly dming the civil war; but he main
tanned throughout the bitter time, as he
had before and as he has since, high and
deserved character for gallantry and truth.
The other is man who has consorted
with the thieves who have plundered
South Carolina, and has shared in their
spoils. Though Of late he has put on the
pretence of integrity, yet he is an out-and-
out political fraud. Hampton is a man
against whose honor not even his wolJt
enemies venture toallege anything. When
q few weeks ago, the Siate was in turmoil
because of disturbances growing out OF
antagonisms between the blacks and
whites. Chamberlain instead of remain
ing at his post as Governor at Columbia,
abandoned the State and hurried to
Washington to ask the aid of United
States troops to help elect him again 10
the same office. Only lately has he re-
turned to South Carolina, having obained
| the soldiers for whom he asked.
But the most significant thing in the
South Carolina canvass is the altitude o
General Hampton toward the negro citi.
zens. A proud man, bred amid all the
race prejudices of the State in which sla-
very before the war had its securest foot.
ing, accustomed to look upon the negroes
as his interiors, people to whom to grant
favors and from whomnone could be ask
ed, himself a large Shareholder and the
very type of the aristocratic South Caro-
linian, Gen. Hampton is now traversine
the State, arguing with the enfranchised
blacks, seeking to still their fears of the
| results of a Democratic success in the
coming election, and soliciting their vote:
to the end that peace and prosperity may
again dawn on South Carolina. 1t is ;
spectacle well worth the contemplation o
all men who doubt the candor of the
South in accepting the results of the wal
| the citizenship Of theblacks, and their ell.
tire equality before the law. Gen. Hamp.
ton is known to the negroes throughout
| tie State as no other of the native South
Carolinians. He is familiar to every
colored citizen. and is respected by them

BEHOLD what great power mes 10 suf
frage has given to the South! 1t has
increased their representation so LARGELY
that, with the aid of New York, Con-
necticut and California, for instance,
they can control legislation, elect the
President, and administer the Govern
ment machine as they may see fit. The
rest of the United States can whistle.
The solid South and the three States
named will be the Government in all
that the term implies. The far-seeing
men in the South, are those who are es-
teemed as far-seeing, declare that nothing
can prevent the South from having a
controlling voice in the Government but
the dis francf 'sement of the blacd. And
they argne that this will be the next
great question which will agitate the
country, the North contending for black
disfranchisement in order to keep the
South from running the Government. 1t
is plain, very plain, that the blacks will
be made subservient to the whites in
every Southern State, and that, so far
from enabling the North to hold the
Government, this enfrahchisement is
having precisely the opposite effect,
giving the South so large number OF
Congressmen ard electoral votes that
this section will virtually hereafter be
the ruling power in Washington. DR.

TIE UNFIT THING.-Cne of our
Philadelphia centennial correspondents
gave in Saturdays supplement to the
Sun quite in detail the programme of
the centennial tournament which is to
come off on the Maryland day, the 10Th
of October. The tournament is fami-
liar 10 the people of the South, and is
gray and graceful amusement, requir
ing no small skill in horsemanship and
in piercing the ring, The superiority
of horsemanship of the North, South,
East and West is TO be tested, so far as
such a contest will permit, between
champions as knights" selected from
the best riders of those sections of the
Union. The preparations for this
manly and exciting sport have been in
general such as to hold it up to high
standard, but singular incongruity
among the prizes, as described by our
lined with blue satin" TLis may be
all very well for the persons who
wishes to advertise his trade-for it is
stated that "the chief marshal has al
ready had placed at his disposal by
private parties prizes worth hundreds
of dollars"-but something more is
due to the fitness of things than to al
low him such an opportunity in this
case. 1t is now stated whether the
successful knight is expected to be in
closed in this casket, as the right man
in the right place, or whether he is to
present it to the queen of love and
beauty, or whether any reflection on
the "boys in blue" or those "who
wore the blue" is intended by the
"blue satin lining." AT any rate, the
generous donor" should be allowed
to withdraw his handsome gift, for
nothing better calculated to bring the
tournament into ridicule could have
been devised. The coffin might have
been quite convenience in the sangui-
nary contests of the early tournaments,
though even then the presentation by
the 'queen of love and beauty" to the
successful contestant of "a patent
burial case lined with blue satin" would
have turned tragedy into farce

THEIR PRESENTATION TO CONGRESS.
SPECIAL Dispatch to the World. -1'
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-The attempt of
J the Tribute and other Republican papers
to hold up the last Democratic House
and The Democratic press as specially
urging large amounts of Southern claims
| against the Government is an lmpudent
specimen OF deliberate mendacity. The
facts are that nearly all the claims re-
cited under the different bugaboo cap
tains have been originally presented BY
Southern Republican members of Con-
gress. This is especially true of claims
for losses from damages for property
seized, and it has been more than sus-
pected in regard to many of these claims
that the Republican members presenting
and urging them had a pecuniary in
terest in their allowance, and that in Or
der to get the aid of Northern Repuuli-
cans many OF them were also let into
these arrangements, The claims for re-
funding the cotton tax have been pressed
earnestly before every Congress since the
Supreme Court passed on the constitu-
tionallity of the tax, With only one ex-
ception-that of the last Democratic
House of Representatives. The bill
vored by those having charge of the
measure, was offered by Mr.. Mckee, a
Republican representative from the
State of Mississippi. The carpet-bag
vote is, and always has been, a unit for
refunding the cotton-tax. The propo-
sition for the Government to rebuild the
Mississippi levees was especially favored
by Secretaries Stanton and Harlan du-
ring Mr.. Johnson's Administration, and
a bill appropriating 81 1,25O, 900 as an en-
tering wedge to this policy was reported
by Senator Clarke, Of New Hampshire,
and passed the Senate by vote of 5 to l
at time when that body was two-thirds
Republican. 1t is fact that during the
last session Of Congress, owing to the
fact Of Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatlves, the lobby have Jared worse
than any at Congress since the war. 1t
is safe to say that the inside Republican
lobby have got more to feather their
own nests at every session Of Congress
since the war than the entire amount
allowed for claims by the last House of
Representatives. The really striking
4 change wrought by having Democratic
House is the breaking up of the inside
Republican lobby.
