late dseraceful and brutal slaughter of unonending
men at the town OF Hamburg. s. O. My letter to
Gov. Chamberlain contains all the comments wish
to make on the subject. A allusion is made in the
letter to the condition of other states, and partic
ulary to Louisiana and Mississippi, have added
to the Enclosures letters and testimony in regard to
the lawess condition of portion of the people Of
the latter State. In regard TO louisiana affairs,
murders and massacres of innocent men for opin-
ions sake, account of color, have been Of too
recent date and too frequent to require
recspitulation or testimony here. All arc familiar
with their horrible details, the only wonder being
that 80 many Justify them apologize for them.
But recently a committee of the Senate CT the
United States visited the State of Mississippi to
take testimony on the subject of frauds and vio-
lence in elections. Their report has not been made
public but await its forthcoming with feeling of
confidence that 1t will fully sustain all that have
stated in relation to fraud and violence in State
OF Mississippi. U. S. GRANT.

A NEGRO began business as physician
at Oxford, N. c., several years ago, but
was not very successful, except pecunia-
rily. The mortality among his patients
seemed greater than the circumstances
justified, and recently his neighbors,
convinced that he knew nothing about
doctoring, took him into the woods and
whipped him soundly.

A capital burlesque is the following
it sounds as if it had been taken from
the columns Of our valued contemporary,
the Pioneer-Press
At recent meeting of the Reform League of
Boston, Mr.. BENJAMIN Skinner, of Acton spoke
advocating the abolition of interest on money,
and claimed that the hard times and accom-
panying evils were the result of stealing accor-
ding to law. He read the following paper,
said to have been written by tramp, and
picked up in the street 1t country vii
lage:
"Overproduction is the cause of hard times;
therefore if the people produced less they
would have more. Laughter and applause.
This is in accordance with the well-known Law,
the more you put down the less you take up
anti up and look pleasant Loud laughter. ]
If the farmer glows an abundance OF wheat,
corn, cucumbers, and cabbage, according to
the political economy OF rice and molasses,
we must suffer for the want OF corn, cucum-
bers, and cabbage, but if there is scarcity of
these commodities we shall have plenty of
them. Laughter. This comes through the
philosophy Of deduction from the law of sup
ply and demand. Applause and laughter. ]
There are so many boots and shoes IN the mar
ket that we cannot be we'll shod-but burn up
the present stock and we will be well supplied
in that direction. The great mass Of people
to day are destitute of money, and that is be
cause interest is so low and the money lies
idle in the banks. Now raise the rate of inter-
est by contracting the currency, then business
would revive and everybody would flourish.
God bless the idiots! lRenewed and long con-
tinued laughter Business being dull because
OF overproduction, stop production and all
would By actively employed! Men are IDLE
to-day because OF overwork last year; thus
more idleness more work. [Laughter.] This
truth cannot be applied to the farmer, who
works all summer to fill his barn with hay, Cor
in his case he must work in the winter to feed
out the hay; but what | am presenting is only
a sort Of eight hour philosophy for those who
want a situation in the custom house. Busi-
ness men fail because of overtrading Rene
dy! Less trading! [Boisterous laughter The
factory operator should not strike for higher
wages because if he succeeds in obtaining
them it would initiate the currency and bring
about speculation and extravaganza. The
workngman should have no money on Satur
day night, because he is apt to get drunk, for
it is fact, poorly paid workers are more tenn
perate, pay their bills, support the gospel, the
newspapers, etc, better than those who get a
few surplus dollars beyonda bare subsistence. Z"
Laughter The remainder Of this essay can be
found in the editorial columns of the daily
jou<nals. Laughter and applause.l

along bravely with the various enterprises in
which he proposes that the state shall engage.
He didn't do half AS well when the grangers
represented almost majority in the legislature
As the leader OF the present republican senate
Donnelly is succeas.
Thus spoke the Pioneer-Press dur
ing the session of the Legislature.
And it is curious fact that While the
whole state is abusing the House for its
commissions and omissions, it is gener-
ally conceded that the last senate was
one OF the best aud most sensible that ev-
er sat in the state capitol; and the
Pioneer Press shocks our modesty by
asserting that we were its 'leader.'
No republican will ever have cause to
blush for any vote he cast through our
influence.

Frank Daggett says Donnelly going to
break five hundred acres next spriDg onhs
new farm in Stevens county. This recalls to
our mind an anecdote of Donnelly's Nininger
farming. 1t was said by one of his neighbors
the harvest time and managed the crew her
self, for when he was allowed to be there, he
would stop the teams in the field, gather the
hands around him, and spend the golden
hours in making speeches. This was fun for
the men, but bad for his ripening grain, and
the good practical lady couldn't and wouldn't
stand t.-S,ilt,oater Gazette.
This is another vile SANDER; but even
if it were true it simply demonstrates
how much more anxious we were to en-
Tighten the minds of the people than to
put money in our purse.

The republican papers are now trying
to demonstrate that Belknap and Grant
are both democrats, and hence their sins.
The Red Wing Republican says:
General Grant, who was, and is, of Demo
cratic blood and instinct
While the Pioneer-Press startles the
land with what it calls conclusive proof
that Belknap was Democrat up to the
time of his admission to Grants cab
met!
Really this is hard on the Democracy.
If man does well he is a republican
but if he is caught stealing he is forth
with democrat. How soon will Logan
Morton, Ben Butler, sc. be ranked as
Democrats?
