BLAINE ON THE SOUTH.

Hon. James G. Blaine, in a recent
speech on the Southern outrages, and the
attempt to prevent negroes from voting,
SAID:
was talking with Southern man tho
other day about this, and he attempted to
justify it, and said it was right, and
sneered and j.ered at the idea of the
negro being permitted to vote. He said
it was absurd Well, said to him, "My
friend, you live in the South ?" eyes"
he replied Well, you brag of your
cotton crop down there" Yes" he
said, ave raise cotton crop of $780,
100000" "And tobacco?" eyes, we
raise a tobacco crop of $lOO,0OO,OOO.
"And corn, and rice, and hemp, and
sugar ?" ooh, yes" he said, the
whole thing is over $5O0,OO0,O0O annu-
ally" "Well, | wish you would state to
me just what proportion of this great
aggregate, this vast sum, is raised by the
niggers, as you call them, and how much
by white men. "Oh," he said, 1.-THE
niggers raise pretty much all. F." "Then,"
[ said, according to your own statement
upon any fair deal between man and man,
the negro seems the only man down
South that is entitled 10 vote "Muzzle
not the OK that treadeth out the corn"
That's Scripture-and good sense, too.
| merely remarked that it was Scripture
for the benefit of some Democrats in the
house. Laughter But it is good
sense And this very day and hour. al
though the negroes are in the majority
in the South, constituting somewhat more
than one-third, but not one half, of the
people, they are those who produce more
than 90 per cent of all that is produced
there They are at work, hoeing corn
and raising cotton while these men, who
are seeking to d prive them of their
right to vote, are at the corner groceries,
drinking bad whisky and damning the
Yankees
When a greenbacker tells you that
resumption means to abolish paper
money and substitute only coin, tell him he
is demagogue and willingly misrepre-
senting the facts to make votes. Resump-
ton will not retire one dollar of our
paper money, but will make it as good as
gold. When our paper dollar represents
a gold dollar in the worlds markets, then
we have accomplished resumption, and
no one will care to made the exchange.

THE BLOODY SHIRT.

In the course of telling speech at the
great Republican meeting in Pottsville, on
Saturday night, Gen. l.. NJ Lee, of New
York, thus alluded to the Democratic
taunt of the bloody shirt:
"In Democratic procession in Indi-
ana, among their notices, their banners
and paraphernalia; high up in the air
was an old gray army shirt stained with
blood, borne as an emblem Of disgrace
They introduced the bloody shirt issue
we didn't seek it; we didn't want it. But
we accepted it. Three hundred thousand
men died in bloody shirts that the eoun-
try might live. Many of them had no
shroud but the old gray army shirt l
remember on one occasion when forming
for battle, as | was riding to take my place
at the head of the column, boy soldier
handed me letter, and said, with tears
in his eyes, Colonel, read that | know
CIlIU Hl!IIdly ClliuCtUC lOi DluS iulCICUuISG
between the officer and soldier, but | re-
membered that God made ME man be-
fore man made me an officer, and | took
the letter. 1t was from his mother, who
was a widow. The first part was about
family matters, but the conclusion was
something like this: My son, strike
well for your country. 1t may be that
you will fall Some must fall, and why
not you? If l lose you | must be content.
Strike well for your country l handed
The letter back with ill-concealed tears.
The bugles sounded, and then came the
charge. After the fray | found my boy
soldier rigid in DEATH Through the old
gray shirt, through the mothers letter,
and into his faithful heart the rebel bull
let had sped. We buried him in his
bloody shirt THE speakers voice, which
had been low and sad in the narrative,
here changed to that of fiery indignation.
And they dare to faunt that shirt as All
emblem of disgrace We take up the
glove. We take up the gauntlet. Wei,
fight that issue And we'll sweep these
Northern States like tornado. Cheers
and shouts of enthusiasm.

The last Democratic administration

The last Democratic administration
couldn't raise money enough to pay
running expenses, and tried to bor-
row the $2O,OO0,000, and couldn't do
it, though the bonds drew q per cent.
and were payable in gold. Finally
it borrowed ten millions, but had to
pay tUelve per cent. interest. That is
Democratic financiering. o

A CRUEL SwINDLE.-One Of the most
C uel swindlers ever perpetrated in this
rascality-ridden city, came to light re-
Gently. An advertisement appeared in
all the morning papers for five book
keepers, twelve salesmen, four porters
and three messengers, for new whole
sale dry goods concern. All applications
were to be made by letters, and it was
added that all letters inclosing II three
cent stamp would be answered. Address
Box. This may seem very small
affair, but the result proved how many
people there are in this city watching for
situations ; for it has transpired that the
number of answers to this advertisement
exceeded four thousand No answers
are known to have been sent to any of
the responses, and although the amount
paid by each victim was very small, the
perpetrators made profit of over $780,
1t was however, a very painful joke on
those who were encouraged to hope for
situation. The detectives have the
matter in hand, and are trying to dis
cover the swinders, in order to punish
them ns an example to others. An officer
who has experience in ferreting out this
class of criminals, assures me that four
out of every five advertisements, in whicq
an incosure of stamp or other valuable
consideration is requested. are downright
frauds. .-Nei0 York Letter.

Mr.. Sproul walked out of the Clerks
office without the formality ot leave tax
ing. AS if to add aggravation to injury.
the first sight his eyes rested upon was
the widow and her new husband walking
as lovingly as couple of kittens into
furniture store. In blind rage he fol-
lowed them in.
This is a pretty piece Of business I"
said he, addressing the widow. 81 hear
you are married. Oh, Lily how could
you be so ungra;eful ?"
"Mr. Sproul," said the widow, with
an air of injured innocence told you
20 como to me after was perfectly free.
You didn't come"
What's this ?" inquired Curg, COM
ing from the back part of the store whero
he had been trying to open n credit with
the proprietor. Look hyar, Sproul, of
you've got anything to say about this
matter, say it to ME. I'm tho one to DO
talked to. Ell you hain't, we can dis
pense with yer company jist now."
"Sproul," said |, as put fresh beef

you'd have better sense. When you
waltz into n chap tho size of Curg Smiley
have the sA-A-Y on him. 1t you'd

Sproul made no reply, but think he
treasured up tho hint for future use. Last
week wo had female lecturer at tho
Bend, but Sproul didn't go to hear her;
and think, from some forcible remarks
he made when told OF her expected ar
rival, no thinks tho fair sex has already
privileges enough.

THE KHEDIvE's MUNIFICENCE.--
The Paris Figaro tells this story Of
Oriental generosity A Nj. Bavray OBJ
tanned from the Khedive of Egypt a
grant of land, on which he built house.
When the building was completed he in
vited the Khedive TO visit it. The mon
arch was pleased with it, and asked how
much it cost. Fifty thousand pounds"
was the answer. "lIere are EGO, ,000,"
said the Khedive. "Let me buy it," OF
course NJ. Bavray complied with the
royal request, and was commissioned to
fit it up and furnish it, which he did ut a
cost of 9l20,000 When all was finished
he went to see the Khedive, taking his
little son with him. The monarch offered
to kiss the boy, but he ran away, crying,
mo, no; mamma says you are naughty
man." Why ?" asked the Khedive.
"Because you have taken away our beauti-
full house." The Khedive wrote on a
piece of paper and told the boy to give it
to his mother. "You can kiss me now,
little man." he said. 81 am no longer
naughty" The paper was deed of gilt
of the whole property.

IT is told Of Lord Norblry, he wou'd
at any time lose friend than n joke
On one occasion he began the sentence OF
death in this wise "Prisoner at the bar,
you have been found guilty by "A jury OF
your countrymen Of tho crimo laid TO
your charge, and must say l entirely
agree with tho verdict, for see '.croun-
dre' written in your face" Here tho
prisoner interrupted with, THAT'S n
strong renection-from your Lordship,"
Whoreupon the Judge, keenly appro-
ciating the joke, commuted the sentence
into transportation for seven years.
