A Neat COntIivnnce.

The advantage to business men of preserving
copies of letters, orders, &c., is self-evident,
yet many neglect taking copies because of the
time and trouble which the old method involves
while others have never purchased the appara-
tus because of the expense. These difficulties
are now overcome by new process which re-
quires no press water or brush, and best of all
is quite inexpensive. Mr. A. W. DeRocper is
now introducing this process in Portland ard
we think you business men will find it valuable.
Chemists and business men speak highly of it.

SOME Of our Democratic friends think
they are making great point when they
say these trace disturbances" occur on
ly in those States where the Republicans
are in the ascendency. The very object
of these wholesale murders os the negroes
is to destroy this Republican ascendency,
and when that is accomplished there is
not so much need of slaughter. Still,
the recent occurrences in Texas would
seem to indicate that even unLer Demo
cratic rule, it is necessary to kin IA mig
ger or two occasionally.

Az Alabama Sheriff brought negro
prisoner to the County Jail, and after
seeing him safely in his cell, started out
to see the town. Some hours afterward
the officer was brought back in semi
glorious condition, and thrust in the same
quarters as his quondam prisoner. Both
occupied the same bed during the night,
and in the morning the Sheriff was fined
$40 for drunkenness, and then allowed to
bring up his bed-felow for examination.

WHY THEY DID IT," Many of the ne
groes voted with u.s." telegraphed the
Chairman of the Alabama Democratic
State Committee TO Senator Eaton. 1t
is pity that the dispatch was not lit
tie fuller, and gave some Of the reasons
which induced the negroes to vote yith"
the party to which they owed nothing
and from which they could hope for moth
ing. 1t would be interesting to know
whether these negroes voted that way Of
their own free will, or whether they sim
ply had the choice Of voting with u.s."
or not voting at all
The States of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and North
Carolina gave, in 1872, heavy majorities
for Grant. Allowing some difference in
the Democratic vote for the disgust felt
by the Bourbon element of the party at
the nomination of an old line Republican
it will be seen that each of these States
have changed front. VIII any sane
of a change of sentiment Hardly. 1t is
true, that in the elections of 1874 there
was a remarkable falling of in the Re-
publican vote everywhere. But this was
not Democrative triumph but merely
a Republican defeat. And we question if
the people are entirely satisfied with
their own actions since the Confederate
Hous has shown how little its party Is
capable to govern the country.
We think the reason why the negroes
" voted with us " would be found hardly
oreditable to Democracy if they were full
ly known. The negroes know well enough /.
that the only guardian OF their rights of
manhood and citizenship is the Repubi-
can party. Small the colored represent
ative from South Carolina, explained it /.
all when he said to a Democrat who was |
boasting Of the 1lct. "Take away your
Xuklux, and not one Of them will vote
with you. But how the negroes came to
vote with us, the Alabama Chairman .
did not Feel called upon to explain.

We are informed by a reliable
gentleman who heard the speech
es ofSam Mckinney of Knoxville,
and Hon. j. w. Daniels of Vir-
ginia, at Bristol last Monday, that
the speeches were Democratic to
the hollow. Mckinney called
Foote an "arch rebel" and Dan.
icls in his speech said Foote was
not even entitled to be called a
rebel; that the name was too sa-
cred; and he thanked his God he
Daniels was q rebel yet; that no
man with any brain could be any
thing else; that o Southern man
that was a Union man was not fit
to associate with dogs; that Abra.
ham Lincoln was q common trai
tor and a thief, and was now in
hell where all his followers would
be sooner or later; that Andy
Johnson might have been n good
man had he not been a Lincoln
lite during the war, but he thank.
ed his God that johnson had re-
pented before his death, and ac-
knowledged his error like a man.

river resumed its usual peaceful
aspect. Then q mighty cheer
arose from the northeast side Of
