DIR COUNTY POOR HOUSE.

A citizen of Triadelphia district, who
signs himself "a Poor Man." writes a
letter to the REGISTER criticising the
management of our county Poor House,
which he thinks extravsgsnt and out OF
keeping with these piDching tim '. AS
he does not send us his real IAN We
are compelled to send his article to the
waste basket. But the building of pa
aces to put paupors IN while
so many thousands Ct self
supporting poor men, who contribute to
the support of the psupers, live IN
hovels, is attracting the attention OF peo-
pie everywhere. The state should pay
To paupers what it owes them, but it does
not owe them palaces with all the mod
ern improvements nor does 1t owe
their keepers n luxurious living and
large profit besides.

TIE EFFECT OF TAF1's ORDER,

Already are the damning effects OF the
order of Attorney General TAFT, bolster
ed up by the approval of U. S. GRANT,
being felt in the South, and as result
the negroes are arming at all points, and
dealing death and destruction to all who
oppose them, looking to GRANT and his
horde of hirelings to uphold them in
their acts Of rape, rapine and murder.
The news comes flashing over the wires
OF deeds of violence that would put to
shame the atrocities of the Kuklux in
its palmieSt days. Two negroes attack a
white woman near Augusta, Ca, for the
avowed purpose OF rape,and are supported
in the hellish deed by an armed mob OF
some two hundred or more black
devils, instigated by the famous
order OF TAFT and protected
from the authorities. But the trouble
does not stop here, the authorities are
smbushed and fired upon, a railroad Is
taken possession OF, the track torn up, and
other deeds of violence committed un-
heard of and unequalled in the history
of the nation. And yet the cry is, 'troops
are wanted in the South to protect the
poor negro from the fury of the ex.rebel
element

Editots Register:
[ do not often trouble you with com.
munications for publication. A little
circumstance having occurred in our
quiet town the other day, and believing
the same might prove interesting to the
readers of the REGISTER, will give you
brief account of it. The Presidential
elector tor this, the Third Congressional
District, on the Hayes ticket, visited our
town on last Monday THAT being the
first day of the September term of the
Circuit Court) for the purpose of saying
his piece, but his reputation as a
speaker having preceded HIM, he
was coolly informed by his more discreet
brethren at this place that it were better
not to stir the reeking mass of Radical
corruption, which was clinging, like An
incubus, to their party. So, after a noe.
turnal caucus with the faithful few, the
disappointed orator sought his virtuous
couch, "to sleep, pcrchance to dream,
&c., especially the &c, as the sequel will
show. That speech was not SO easily
controlled rs the orator. Like murder,
it would out, and did out, and that, too,
in such a way rs to create a stencil that
was only equaled by the cause, of which
it was the natural and legitimate oil
spring. Early on the following morning
he took his departure, wiser but not
happier man. We send out this lnfor-
nation to the electors political friends TO
enable them to guard against similar
misLaps at his other appointments. We
confess he made an impression
and quite sensation, but
wholly failed TO convince any one
that it was TO his interest to feel "Hazey."
1t is generally believed here that the
elector felt worse than Hazey.
The Democrats of this county have
nominated an excellent county ticket.
Col. Ball for representative, Gsudie Tor
sheriff, Campbell for prosecuting alter
ney, and McKown for president Of the
county court. IAll will be.elected BY rous-
ing msiorities. Roane county will do
her duty on the 10th of next month by
eecting her county ticket, and giving
large majority TO The state ticket.
The circuit court, Judge Smith Presid-
ing, mas been IN session since Monday
last, and has transacted a considerable
amount of business. 1t will sd journ to-
day or tomorrow.
Crops of all kinds are good in this
county. More anon,

this morning moved up here, where
there is everything IN abundance. The

A WARNING TO DEMoCRATs.-Some
of the weaker and more unscrupulous
candidates on the Rsdical ticket are al
ready throwing out bats to the unwary
and testing the chances for making bar
gains and sales so that by a series OF
sharp tricks they can suCs ssfAlly run the
gauntlet into office. Already y report
reaches us that . Radical candidate for
the Legislature has made his boasts
that he had SO set up the pins in that d.
rection that his chances for sue
cess have materially increased.
In other words hs has gerry
wandered a Democrat over there who Is
a candidate for municipal office in be-
Iieving that by supporting the aforesaid
Radical, and trading votes for his par
ticular benefit, that he, the candidate
for legislative honors, will at the NUM-
cipal election make good the debt
that is, selling some of his party friends
to satisfy the obligation. We have little
belief that any Democrat is so gullible,
or can be taken in by any such soft sol
der. A political bargain and sale was
never yet made good, and we doubt if it
is in the power of this identical gentle
man to alter the rule by handing over
the merchandise, even If he succeeds IN
making the purchase. To all Democrats
who are, or are not, seeking polt-
ical preferment, we tender the
advice to steer clear of all such sunken
rocks. They are about the nearest route
to political disgrace and destruction that
we know of.

The Authorities Ambushed-
Casualties Unknown.

AUGUSTA, September lS.-Mrs. Ali
moso Harley, of Aiken county, S. g.,
was, on Friday last, assaulted and
knocked down two or three times by a
couple of negroes. Her screams alarmed
them and they fed. The citizens, how
ever. arrested one of them otter he was
shot, and warrant was issued for the
arrest of the other. The warrant was
placed in the hands of constable, who,
with the aid of posse of white men at
tempted to make the arrest, which was .
Resisted by Large Crowd of Ne
grOes,
about 200 in number, armed with shot
guns and Winchester rifles. On Sunday
the excitement continued. Both the
whites and negroes were fully armed,
and watching each others movements
Toward night compromise was agreed
to, both parties agreeing to dlsband and
retire to their homes. The negroes
agreed to surrender the colored man who
made the assault on Mrs. Harley and de-
liver him to the authorities at Aiken.
The Whites Ambushed and Shot.
With this understanding the whites
dispersed, and while retiring to their
houses it is reported that several of the
latter were anbushed and shot by the
negroes. The cityis full of rumOrs as 10
the number killed, but there has been
nothing definite ascertaincd.

pistol was fired from the negro side,
and the whites returned the fire.

The persistent effort of Republican
speakers to awaken fear that II trump
of the Democracy will result in assuu
ing the "rebel debt" is the greatest hum
bug ever attempted to be palrned "il
upon the American people. No intelli.
gent man can he msled by it, and for the
following reasons: First, there Is no
such thing as n rebel debt. The bonds
issued by the "Coniederacy"
were promises payable only on
condition of the success of the re-
bellion, and not until after the Confed-
crate States were recognized by foreign
powers as an independent nation.
Second, the bonds issued are held almost
exclusively abroad by parties who were
willing to take the risk OF the success of
the rebellion, and, as Colonel FELLOWS
aptly remarked at Portland the other
day, they can now be bought Tor fifty
cents per cart-load. Third, the loth
srticle of the Constitution absolutely
prohibits payment Of any debt or obl!ga-
ton incurred in and of the rebellion,
or any claim arising from loss or
emancipation OF slaves, and declares all
such obligations to be absolutely void.
Fourth, it is not for the interest of any
section that this debt should be assumed;
the North would not submit to it; the
West would not sanction it; the South,
Impoverished and already crushed by the
weight of taxation, local Ms we'll national,
could not, if disposed, contribute doll
lar to pay of this Indebtedness. OF all
sections the Southern will be the last to
desire an assumption of additional bur
dens.

SENATOR DAVIS great speech deliver
ed at Keyser, on the ID inst. is receiving
deserved praise from many quarters. A.
the mass meeting at Baltimore, the other
night, which is described rs being the
greatest meeting ever convened in the
Monumental City, Hon. MONTGOMERY
BLAIR delivered speech in which he
used the facts, figures and tables furnish
ed by the indefstigable sbor Of
Senator DAVIS and used in
his Keyser speech. The clear and con-
vincing demonstration by actual figures
OF the corruption and extravaganza of
of the Administration, Is sufficient to de-
termine any voter determined upon re-
form as to his putty. The party that is
thus prodigsl Of the public money cannot
be safe or an honest party. In time
of depression and high taxation the peo-
pie find such a party impossible to be
borne. The plain showing from these
tables ofexpenditure, that GRANTS seven
years of administration have already
cost almost as much Ms was expended
for all purposes during the sew
enty-one years prior to the advent of
the Republican party, and that GRANTS
expenditures in branches of the service
that have no relation to the war are
more than three times greater than the
same service cost in 1861, constitutes a
staggering fact from which no stump
orators eloquence on the Republican
side can bring any relief. Then
again, the falling of of the in
ternal revenue by the enormous amount
of $33, 100000 in a single Presidential
election year, with its recovery immedi-
ately after, is convincingly suggestive OF
the corrupt ways in which Grantism was
first fastened upon the country and has
since managed to retain its grip. The
speech OF Senator DAVIS supplies solid
nutriment, and it should be
forced upon the Republican stomach FOR
digestion. We are glad to see that sew
eral OF our West Virginia exchanges
have issued this admirable document in
the shape of supplement. That's right.
Let the people see the facts.
