you LEAN OH WHnm 2

1t Is time that The colered people see
things in their trus light. They have
been blinded long enough. Whose land
d. you till and whose bread do YOU eat ?
whose money educates your children,
and throws around you the protecting
care OF. egen-hauded State laws ? To
whom do you look for comfort AID succo1
when disease enters your humble home :?
Do you seek the services Of the Office
seeking political adventures f ON the
Nnrth, or Ct those among whom you
were reared, and among whom you live
and expect to die ? You have every right
that the white man of the South enjoys.
Why then affiliate with those who are
inimical TO the interests Of your best
fr lends ? Why not cheerfully unite your
political fortunes with those on whom
you rely fer support? Can it be that
you have more conf fence ia those who
use you for ofice-seeking purposes than
in those who really wish you the largest
measure of happiness and prosperity
The white and colored people of the
South. are together in one boat The
storm that wrecks one race wrecks US
all There is no discrimination here.
Why then should the two races antago-
nize each other in an effort to regenerate
the country and restore it to its former
condition Of plenty and prosperity.

THE ROGUE SCIENCE OF ST.
LEECE

Republican Treasury Secretaries have
known AID now know the power Of sup
pressing facts and figures relative to
treasury losses and defaleations. But
the tracks of the rogues are being traced
to the dens from which their spoilations
proceed Though the Constitution
provides that mo money shall be drawn
from the treasury, but IN conseq pence Of
appropriations made By law, and a reg
ular statement end amount &C receipts
and expenditures of all public money
shall be published from tire to tine.
Yet for the pa ten years AEcGulloch,
Boutwell,, Richardson aud Bris5ow have
studiousIy avoided making these exhibits.
and have only done so at the expiration
of three or four years, or when public
opinion compelled printed statement
to be made This silence has been in
the interest of defaulters, and other
treasui y thieves.
The United States Economist gives
some figures bearing on this subject
worthy of reproduction. Senator Davis.
Of West Virginia, persistently piled
in upon Boutwell, charges Of lnalfeas-
ance, and forced from him a statement
of the defaults since 1869. This state
ment was so damaging to the Republi-
cans that they in the Senate prevented
its being printed. But enough is known
to show that over FIVE millions Of dol
lars were stolen during the suppression
of the official report of receipts and ez-
ponditures. During the fourteen years
since 1861, while over-governmens ideas
and practical corruption have prevailed,
the losses have been, according to uneor-
rected treasury figures $I4,665 900,
while during the se7enty-two years pre-
eeding the losses were 81, Al 900. In
the first seventy-twO years the losses
were $685., 900 year,in the last fourteen
they were SI,O47, 600 per annum; that
is, in the last period they were three
times as much yearly as they were in
the first
In no country in the world has there
been such enormous and repeated pilter
ing of the public exchequer as has ex-
listed in the United States. Under cover
OF silence, immense frauds have been
carried on. Public moneys, sacradly
devoted to uses of high trust, have been
as recklessIy appropriated to the use
and behoof of officials as though the
funds belonged in common to these plum
derers. This is the work of the Repub-
lean party. Its touch stone of affection
is ce ntred in the money vaults of the
country. Yankee-like, it knows no other
God. Even now the treasury is depl:ted
by reason of the unparalleled iniquitous
legislation of corrupt and class char
acter so firmly fastened upon the country
in late years in the interest of the bond
holding class This silence suits kingly
governments and not represen tati7e
republics.

He extracted three teeth and filed some

wastefulness of female energy and I'M

extravaganza IN the silliest grat;f cation,

the most pronounced revolutionary
scheme that has yet been devised by
Radical ingenuity to Over-awe Southern
