In five counties the majority has been

Of like reductions in nearly all Of the

EXPLANATIONS IN ORDER A few
years ago number of lawyers, living
in Wilmington. Joined themselves to-
gether for the purpose Of forming what
they termed COLLECTING Agency" the
object Of which, they declared. was the
collection Of debts in any county Of this
and the adjoining States. One Of the
requirements Of this Agency" was the
payment Of a stated fee, in advance.
upon which they agreed to undertake
the collection Of the claim. Their n,odus
operandi was to attempt, first, to fright
en- the delinquent into paving bis debts
by threatening to insert his name in a
black list, to be kept for the inspection
Of business men-~the idea being that
men whose names were found in that
list were unworthy Of credit. This was
wonderfully smart idea we'll worthy Of
Bird or Fisher-who knew q man
was disloyal because his horse was named
JEFF Davis-but whether the originator
Of such brilliant notions is just tho kind
Of a congressional representative Dcla-
wareans want is for them to say Then
if the debtor didn't consent to be fright
ened. the Agency were to proceed to
prosecute the claim before the courts.
Relying on their promises to do this,
some persons placed claims in their
hands for collection, paying the required
fee. There the matter ended; and as
far as they could ever learn. not q step
was taken; not thing was done by the
Agency" in prosecution Of the task
they had undertaken. beyond the taking
Of fees for which they rendered no equiv
alent. Perhaps Mr.. Levi G. Bird. who
was very prominent member Of the

text which the Wilmington Republican
used on Monday on which to base long
article eulogistio Of tho piety. wisdom
and good intentions of the Republican
party and denunciatory of the wicked
ness. ignorance and evil designs Of the
Democratic party. If one half Of what
the Republican says Of its party was
true, it would be very paragon ofper-
fection and model of goodness, while
the Democratic party, on the other hand,
would be the synonym Of all that is
malicious, savage. barbarous. cruel and
monstrously wicked and sinful in every
phase or shape. According to that sa-
gacious. and very veracious % journal.
hunting '.niggers" like wild beasts (per-
haps it means old cows) is Democratic
pastims, especially in the Southern
States. But, unfortunately, all this
great wisdom and virtue Of the Repub-
lican party exists in the fertile imagina-
tion Of its devotees, and is found no.
where else, while, fortunately, the same
may be said Of the pictures Of Demo-
cratic malignity SO vividly drawn in
this aud other Republican papers. But.
(alas for iss veracity, } the Republican
made an error at the very outset Of its
article, by defining the "bloody shirt"
to be the term the Democrats have
chosen by which ito designate the ad-
vocacy Of life. liberty and justice to the
colored people Of the South" whereas,
the true explanation is: the term is
used in denunciation Of the regular ante
election custom OF Republicans Of the
Blaine, Morton, Chandler school in en-
deavoring to prejudice the people Of the
North against the white inhabitants of
the Southern States by trumping up
and heralding broadcast over the coun-
try lying. representations Of horrible
cruelties inflicted by the whites upon
the negroes in the South-of negroes
shot and murdered in cold blood and in
every imaginable way prosecuted and
maltreated. This is what is meant by
waving the bloody shirt" And now
let us ask the Republican, which seems
SO greatly exercised over the cruel treat
ment Of negroes at the hands Of the
whites, how it IL that it and, as far IS
we have yet seen, all other Republican
papers, have failed to utter a word Of
condemnation of the recent bloody at
tack made by truly loil" negroes upon
a colored Democratic club in Charleston,
s. c.? or of that other report of out
RACES by negroes in Louisiana? Accounts
of these outrages have been published
all over the country, but we hear Of no
troops being sent into those districts to
protect whites from negroes or negroes
from negroes.
1t is only in election campaigns that
the "bloody shirt" is waved and we
hear Of these terrible cruelties; when
the presence Of troops is required to Sc
cure fair (?) election and the success
Of the Republican ticket.

denial, from a man of the exalted char
acter of Gov Tilden, was needed-if
indeed any answer at all was necessary
but that the voice Of slander may be
entirely hushcd. the answer goes SO
deeply into particulars as to prove to
the most sceptical the truth of its asser-
tions and the total falsity Of the charges.
1t seems surprising almost beyond be-
lief, that journal of the (hitherto)
responsibility Of the Times should have
trumped up and given publication to q
series Of such unfounded falsi6cations
against the character Of an honorable
man simply because be chances to be
a candidate for election to Office. In
stead Of proving Mr.. Tildeu perjurer,
the Times has only succeeded in draw
ing upon itself the scorn and contempt
which such base, ignoble, cowardly
conduct ever merits. But the Times
is not the only recipient Of, as it not
alone deserves, the public scorn in this
contemplate transaction. By its petty
partisan behavior in refusing access to
the public records to the friends of the
Democratic candidate. which it freely
gave it to his enemies and allowed them
to copy and even to photograph what
ever portion best suited their ends, the
comes in for, and will re-
ceive, as it richly deserves. a very large
share Of the contempt such partisan con-
duct always drsws upon itself from
generous people. Such malicious.
unfounded scandal must and will recoil
upon the heads Of its originators.
