AGAINST two.

The JonesborO Gazette, opposing the
unmcritorious Merritt policy Of a multi
plicity of Democratic conventions this
year. says:
Nearly all the States in which elections
are TO be held for State officers. have held,
or are upon the eve of holding their con-
ventions. There Is no valid
reason, so far aS we can
see, why Illinois should not
follow in the van. Nothing is to be
gained by procrastination. Let the State
convention be assembled and let the DE.
mocracy publish to the world the plat
form upon which they intend to stand.
II ii has no other effect, 1t will serve to
strengthen our friends in other States.
We don't want any chicanery or fool
ishness about this matter. but an
open square deal. The Democratic
party Is not in the "aXe-grinding" bust
ness just now neither is it disposed To
dance Attendance upon itinerant "organ.
grinders" When the convention assem-.
bles 1t can determine whether IL will nom.
nate State ticket and appoint delegates
to the st. Louis convention or not. II
alone has the right and the power to de-
tcrminc this matter.

We are informed that the Magnolia
Monitor has been revived and is now
being circulated in this District pro-
fessedly as a Democratic newspaper.
We are further informed, however, that
the Monitor refuses to support Colonel
WADDELn. the regular nominee of the
party for Congress in the District.
We warn the people against the
AOsaitor as being ignorant of and hostile
to one of the very first principles of
the Democratic party, which is to
stand by the nominees.
The revival of the Monitor, nomin-
ally as a Democratic sheet, is doubt
less one of Cannaday's electioneering
tricks; at least it has been rumored for
weeks past, that he intended to so re-
vive it. But this and all other at
tempts to deceive and mislead the
people IN Csnnaday's favor by holding
ing out false colors will fail.
We will be obliged to some friendto
send us copy of the paper at an early
day so that we may see it for ourselves.

WHAT HAS THE SENATE DONE

In the United States Senate the
majority of the Republicans is over
whelming. I'm that body the Republic
cans had a score of trained leaders,
such men as Conkling, Morton, Lo-
gan. Cameron, Edmunds, Anthony,
Sherman, and others that might be
named. The question liz repeatedly
asked what has the Senate done dur.
ing the long session just closed Has
that body passed any measure looking
toward relief for the over-taxed
people? Was any measure passed by
the Senate making preparation for the
resumption of specie, thing they ex-
press great desire to have accom-
plished? Was the vexed school ques-
ton settled by that body? Did the
Senate take a step in any direction
looking toward retrenchment and re-
form? Everybody knows what the
Democratic House has done. but what
has the Radical Senate done. These
are questions which the people would
like to have Radical newspapers and
Radical orators answer.
Two things the Senate has accom-
plished worthy of mention:
1. It has acquitted Grants War
Secretary, the corrupt Belknap.
2. It has fought the House, step by
step, in every measure OF retrench-
ment which that body has carried
through. and succeeded in preventing
the actual saving from being forty in
stead of thirty millions.
This is the summing up of the work
of the Radical Senate. That body
has stood in the way of every effort to
save the peoples money, and to settle
the questions which now agitate the
public mind. Its principal acts are
the acquittal Of Belknap and resisting
retrenchmept and reform.

The kind of reform which may be
expected from the Radicals of South
Carolina if they are successful next
November, is illustrated by the men
they have placed on their Electoral
ticket. The list is headed by Bowen,
q confessed bigamist, pardoned felon
and a known murderer. After him
comes Tim Hurry, the most impudent
and unblushing .knave outside the
walls of penitentiary. Whittemore,
the expelled trader in cadetship, re-
ported the reform" platform, and
Honest John Patterson who said there
was 'still five years of good stealing in
the State" endorsed the nominees.

The Magnolia Monitor came to hand
night before last. 1t refuses to sup
port Colonel Waddell for Congress
simply because, as it declares, sit does
not approve his course in political life,
and can not endorse him." Itrefuses to
advocate the ratification of the amend.
ments, and advises their rejection, and
tells it's readers that their ''votes to
reject them as base attempt to take
from them their constitutional liberty
will show they are sovereigns." Gov
ernor Tilden's name and those of other
Democratic candidates are at the head
of its columns, but it tells its readers.
in the language of Mosby, that "any
good which the Southern people
might derive from the election of Til>
den would equally result from the sup.
port of Hayes"
Such is the Monitor revived. II
has undoubtedly walked up after its
long sleep in the wrong pew. It used
to be Democratic. It is now evident
~ Radical. But it is harmless in
Dnplin. .-'

SOUTHERN DISORDERS

The COurier-JOo17l0l says wherever
the Republicans have all the power in
their hands in Southern State, it is
a noticeable fact that they are power
less, according to their own confession,
to prevent the smallest corner-grocery
fight. In no case have they shown
either the ability or the inclination to
enforce the laws. In Mississippi,
Ames, with all the civil and military
power at his disposal, was continually
complaining of "outbreaks" and "out-,
RACES" Since the State has passed
into Democratic hands the laws have
been enforced, and we hear NO more
about ..outrages, although the Radi-
Gals have done abfolutely every
thing in their power TO get hold of
one authenticated case. South Caro-
lima, in Radical hands, is a lawless
State. The EARNED bands" consist of
negro Eailitia companies armed to the
teeth for the purpose of maintaining
the gang of thieving and disreputable
whites and negroes, who run the gov
eminent ca. The Radicals are inca
pabls of government. They are adopts
in nlisgovernment. The State of Iowa
is the scene of continued disorders,
1ynching, mob law, etc. Pennsylva-
mia is cursed with hordes of organized
murderers and assassins, which the
great Hartranft cannot control nor
attempts to control. The whole coun-
try is to-day suffering from the effects
of fifteen years of Radical domination
They are retrogressive party.

The New York Herald, though a
friend of Hayes and Wheeler, does
not admire the bloody shirt. It says
IF the Republican party is to be
for another four years a party of pro-
scription in the South, a party en-
couraging misgovernment and trading
on outrage there, then it is by all
means best, for all our interests, North
and South, that the democrats should
come in and this is the opinion of a
great many thousand republican voters,
without whom the republicans cannot
succeed in November"

HEATON AS A POLL HOLDEK.


The action of the County Commits
sioners of this county at their last
meeting was, we venture to say, with
out precedentin this State or anywhere
else, for it's gross violation of the spirit
and intent of the law. The election
law of North Carolina requires the
County Commissioners on or before
the LIST Monday in October to appoint
four persons as inspectors or judges
of election. Of course the purpose of
the law is to secure a fair and impair
tial election according to to the Con-
stitution and laws of the State, for SO
reads the oath the inspectors or judge
are required to take before entering
upon the discharge of their duties.
And yet, for this purpose, the Com
missioners of New Hanover county
deliberately selected the only man in
the county who is under conviction and
sentence OF court Of Justice for hav~
ing by violence interfered with and
stayed the lawful, peaceable, conduct
of an election. Of course we allude to
the appointment of James Heaton, the
Clerk of the Superior Court as one of
the Inspectors of Election for the First
Ward in this city. Heaton as is
we'll known, has been convicted IN
two cases for his conduct on election
day in 1874 when he came SO near
bringing on q collision that if once
begun, could not have ended without
the shedding of much blood. In one
case he was sentenced to three months
imprisonment in Jail, the longest pun
ishment the law permitted, in the
other case he was sentenced to the
penitentiary for three years and
he is now at large. instead of being
in the penitentiary, only because his
case has gone, upon appeal, to the SUI
preme Court. These are the facts-a
man under double conviction for lawless
conduct in breaking up the last election;
a man with three years in the peniten-
tiary hanging over him by sentence of
a lawful court, after conviction by q
lawful jury, and the only such man in
either party in the county, is selected
by the Commissioners of the coun-
ty as a suitable person to conduct
the next election fairly and impartially
according to the Constitution and laws
of the State !! A simple statement of
the facts brings out the enormity of
the transaction in such striking colors
that it needs no comment to see how
shameful and disgraceful it is, and how
subversive of every principle of law and
order. And yet the people have no
redress, for we live in county that
is under negro rule. This is only one
of the many fruits Of this rule.

Question:. for COIored u,n.

We commend the following ques>
tons from the Charleston Nea0s ana
Courier to the consideration of oul
colored people. Let every man who
has colored men in his employment
ask each one of them these questions
and get an answer for each question
Whom do you work for?
Is he a Republican or Democrat?
If Democrat, why do you work
with one who Is opposed to you in pol
itics? D .-f
Why do you not engage in business
only with those of your own political
faith? Would not this be better?
Can you not find employment among
them? If you cannot, have you asked
yourself why is this SO?
IF you work for man--we appeal to
you as men-do you think it lawful to
injureIhis interests
If you do not injure them directly
ought you to give others the power to
do it ? If you were sent to tend cat
tie would you lend the gun given you
to protect them to some thief to kill
any that he pleased --
How is il, then, that You so readily
combine with others to put in Office
men who rob your employers Are
you aware that when your employer
isirobbed you are robbed to q certain
extent also IF your employer thrives
you thrive with him. If he is pinched,
how can he pay you good wages.
If you put up men who tax your
employer and yourself only to enable
them to steal and live finely, are you
your vote to do this again and again !?
You call yourself a republican. If
men are named whom the people can
trust, your hands are clean: but if the
old story is repeated, and swindlers.
