TIE Macon. Georgia. Telegraph and
bessenger, has some sensible ideas in
regard to the call of the delegation of
colored men at the rooms of the DEM
ocratic National Executive Committee
ia Washington city aud their request
for "the political recognition of their
printed declaration that they were
tired If the "self imposed yoke" of
Radica!ism, etc. etc. It says:
"We fear the colored brethren were
playing a piece of diplomacy-either
asking bid from the Democrats or
seeking to brighten the Radicals into
better terms. We trust the Demo-
cratic National Committee received
them kindly, but made no committals.
Let the committee look southwark and
learn. There is not in the whole south Que
sensible reason why the negroes should
vote with the Radicals and against the
residents and property holders in these
States. The white residents and Dem
ocrats of the South employ and pay
the negroes nearly every cent they get.
furnish them with schooling for their
children, and aid them in all their reli-
gious and charitable institutions; while
from the Radicals they get nothing
much better than the freedmen s bank
Ii they are sick and suffering all their
help comes from the Democrats, and,
as matter Of course, they are appar-
emily firm friends of the Democrats
till election day comes, and then every
politician of them votes against us to
a man. Others, owing to black (not
white) intimidation, stay away from
the polls, and very few vote the Dem
| ocratic ticket.
The difficulty is a social one. The
Democrats cannot bring themselves to
| social utilization with the negroes, and
until they do, which will be never, the
| negro vote is as certain for the Radical
| ticket as any other public evil. It is
not worth while, therefore, to count on
or court negro political votes for the
Democracy. It will be found cheaper
to fight the sable politicians at the
tallot-box than TO feed them"

The Vancouver ElOpement.
From tie Portland Bee.

In our issue of Friday last we pub
lished an account, without giving names,
Of the elopement from Vancouver of a
young and handsome girl with China
man. Our account of the matter was
strictly in accordance with a statement
received from n reliable and esteemed
citizen of Vancouver. The following
letter, however, was received by us on
Saturday, and we gladly publish it,
hoping that our correspondents denial
of the charge is substantially correct;
VANCOUVER, w. T., Nov. 4, 1876.
Editor Bee: ! find in your paper of
the Sd inst. an article tending to injure
the character of young lady of this
place. The story is wholly and entilely
false, with the exception of the state
ment that the girl worked for General
Sully. l received a telegram from the
girls mother last night which she says
II saw Maggie last night at o o'clock
Her mother is with her in Portland now
The only reason can see for the starting
Of such story is that the girls father is
running for an Office in this county, and
it is intended to injure him. 1t is COW
ardly and despicable to try to injure {
man politically by attacking the charac
ter of his children. The girl is wei
known in Vancouver, and has many
friends. Believing you would not inten
tionally injure an innocent girl, ask yo,
to give this place in your paper. am
sir, respectfully yours, i. MCCARrY.

ferry one morning, and turned into COM

poured out the poison the lanlord's wife

hundred dollars to purchase an elegant
shawl she had seen. lie drew from his
breast pocket a well filled pocket book
and counted her out the money. The
man pushed aside the glass untouched,
and laying down ten cents departed in
silence. That very morning his devoted
/ Christian wife asked him for ten dollars
to purchase a cheap cloak, that She might
attend church. lie GROSSLY told her he
hadn't the money. Here am helping

vain for a ten dollar cloak. | can't stand
this Ihaye spent my last dime in drink.
When the next pay day came, that meek
loving wife was surprised with bcauti.
full new cloak from her reformed husband.
She could scarcely believe her own eyes
and ears as lie laid it on the table saying:
"There Emmma, Is present for you |
have been fool long enough. Forgive
me for the past, and will never touch
liquor again!' She threw her arms
about his neck, and her hot tears told her
heartfelt joy as she sobbed "Charlie, !
thank you a thousand times never
expected so nice a cloak. You couldn't
have selected prettcr one. This seems
like other days. Come, now, Ihavc sup
per all ready, You are so good, and |
am so happy" The great, strong, noble
fellow couldn't hide his tears as he related
the facts to me. He said it was the hap.

Election Facts.
Frwo IN, San rrouao H@.tnt

FIU.I it San 'rn' rD' hN 'N'
In the Presidential election Of 1865,
there were 5,i2494 votes cast in the
United States. OF these 2,1O0,Gl3 were
recorded on the silc of the Democrats,
and 3.Olj.O7l for the Republicans. The
Republican majority was therefore 3o5,'
lSS. In Isl! the total vote cn~' was
eOG. G.lG5 more, viz, Gi3l1l9 OF these
,hc Democrats po'lml 2,ot09 votes,
and the Republicans 3,5GiOtO. The Re
publican majority was therefor" 1d2,"9i,
more than double what it was IN l'6s.
Eut four Southern States were unrccon-
structcd in that year and did not partici-
patc in the election. They were Florida,
Mississippi, TeXa, and Virginia. 1t was
by these four States that the Republican
vote was 50 largely increased in l>i9. 1t
is little singular that with these addl-
,ions the Democratic vote was not like
wise enlarged There is little over
100000 difference between that vote in
1872 and 1863. But then there was a
great dissatisfaction among the old line
members OF the party with the nomina'
ton of Greeley.
The vote this gear will probably be =
100000, if it does not exceed that num-
her. If the increase observable in Ohio
and Indiana holds out in the west gen
orally, it may go seven aud a half mil
lions. But seven millions Of heads par
ticipating in the work Of managing a
government, constitutes n grand spectacle.
1t is easier, however for this vast mass 10
do the work in hand, with intelligent
forcthought, than it was for the few hun
dred thousand who first began the expert
mont BY the operation Of the electric
telegraph and the press, these seven mil
lions, or those of them who can read, are
made cogniaant every day of the same
facts and think alike, according to their
particular political predictions. The
electric telegraph is to the body polite
what the nervous system is to the indi-
vidual A shock ielt at the cXtremeties
is Mt once transmitted to the sCnsOry
gunglia, which are the great cities and
centres of thought
OF these seven millions at least one
million are colored men, who few years
ago were "hattles and had no right to
their own persons. Many of them who
as frecmen will deposit their ballots on
the 9TH of November, felt the lash of the
overseer. The negro vote Of the United
States two years ago was computed AS
follows: Alabama, S0,4O0; Arkansas
12,1O0; California, 7s0 Connecticut t.
ZOO Delaware, 1900; Florida, 16, /;
Georgia, 9l,100; Illinois, $500; Indi-
