THE END OF HE'LL GATE.

The blowing up of He'll Gate reef was
successfully accomplished on Sunday after
noon last without any damage to property,
not even so much as broken pane of glass
in the houses along shore. Gen. Newton of
the regular army has been the engineer Of
the work and may well be congratulated on
having achieved one the greatest engineer
ing feats of the century. $4,000 pounds Of
xplosives-rendrock and vulcan powders
and dynamite-were used in the explosion
and electricity was the means employed to
fire this enormous mass of twenty-six net
tons. The key of the battery which ignited
the charges was pressed by the tiny hand of
the Generals little daughter Mary, two and
half years old, and in moment mighty
column of water rose seventy feet in the
air carrying with it a gigantic rock weighing
at least sixty tons (; the earth trembled and
as the water fell back a huge wave rolled
away to the shore. 1t is estimated that
100000 people witnessed the explosion.

The Democratic press is publishing an ar
ticle headed, Where are the Independents
going?" and among Others named as work
ing for Tilden and Hendricks we see such
persons as Chas. A. Daua, Alex. Mcclure,
Gov. Curtin, Eli Slifer. Why, bless the in
nocents' souls these men were driven from
the Republican party, because of their un-
fitness If you can't get up better material
tor independents, then stop at once.
The above cheerful little paragraph is
taken from the Clinton Republican edited by
Mr.. John Bannister Gibson Kinsloe and
published in Lock Haven. To fully appre-
ciate the full beauty of the sentiment it is
necessary to remember that Mosby, Boss
Shepherd, Babcock, Harrington, Ben Butler,
and also Mckee, Avery and few Others
now in the Penitentiary are members of the
Republican party in good standing. How
much the country has gained by the expul-
sion of Charles Sumner and the gentlemen
mentioned in the article quoted it is difficult
to determine-what it has lost is very appar-
ent. Zack Chandler and Morton are the
leaders of, the party now, and We hardly
think the better class of men in the country
will deem them superior to Charles A. Dana
and ex Gov. Curtin. ...i ..--. .i,I..,..

All that is now necessary is for the Georgia
Democrats to swear half as hard as Tileen
did ON his income to enable them to disfrau-
chise the whole colored population of
Georgia under the provision of the infamous
law below cited. 1t is master piece OF
Democratic strategy
Under recently enacted law of Alabama,
larceny works forfeiture ofthe voting fran
chise, and, as an Augusta, Ga, paper states:
.If person steals a pig or chicken down
there it is penitentiary offence. and the
thief forever forfeits his right to vote"
Gazette 6 Bulletin
Our neighbor is disgusted because the
Georgia law Furnishes both black aud white
for theft. 1t is an admission that the colored
Republicans are thieves, and regret for their
punishment. 1t occurs to us that the best
plan would be for the colored men to stop
stealing. 1t is good advice, also for some
of their political masters high in office.

1t looks very much as If the campaign
against the Indians was about at an end
and the red skins are decidedly ahead. The
troops have suffered terribly not only at the
hands of the Indians, but from hunger aud
exposure. The result may be summed up
as follows hundreds of soldiers and yalua-
BILE officers killed and many millions of mon
ey expended for a few dead Indians and
handful of prisoners. Mr.. Sitting Bull could

IsA THAT INCOME TAX.

In our opinion the stereotyped campaign
lie about Tilden's income was 50 glaring
that ii needed no relutation. But the an
swer is so complete and crushing that we
give it space, and call the special attention
of four Republican readers to it, because
their party organs whilst quick to st.rt a
slander, will never publish the vindication.
The action of the Government in refusing
Mr.. Hewitt copies of the income returns, but
strengthens the popular opinion that this is
not government By the people, for the peo.
pie, buta government carried on for the
purpose of slaniering honest men, and
screening the corruption of Republican Of
feials.

WORCESTER, Sept. 6.-Chas. Francis Adj
ans has been nominated by acclamation.
Massachusetts nominates Charles Francis
Adams as Democratic candidate for Cover
nor. The old time democracy hated the
name of Adams as they pretended to hate
"Blue Light Federalism. Whether Mr..
Adams is democrat now they do not ask.
They know that he Is a representative of
Yankee educated aristocracy, little more
impracticable than was Charles Sumner, and
they hope to secure votes from the ranks of
their enemies by the nominations. How
are the Democracy fallen. Record Of the
Times.
The Republicans are concentrating their
abuse on such men as Charles +. Adams,
and the dead Sumner,-men who founded
the Republican party, and had the conf
dence of Lincoln and his supporters. They
were made welcome to the Democratic party
after the Buffers, Babcocks, Belknaps, and
Camerons had usurped control of the Re-
publican organization and made it the par
ty of plunder and corruption. How have
our opponents fallen to villify their purest
and ablest men!
