The Cranberry -The most dis
couraging news reaches It's from the
cranberry marshes, TO the effect that
che fre-worm has commenced its rava-
ges and is creating devastation every
where. The marshes Of Messrs, Gray,
Carey, Maxwell, Trahern, Lyon &
Dutruit, Merrill, Hockenhall, and in
fact nearly all of those marshes which
promised All abundance only few
days ago are almost entirely wiped out.
The work of destruction has been &C
complished in a few hours, SO rapidly
has the worm done It's work. We hear
of few marshes where the worm has
as yet, done little or RIO damage, but
we are prepared to hear at any mo-
ment of their complete blight. The
berry crop which promised thousands
of barrels only week or so ago, is alb
solutely extinguished, and not berry

Notes OF Travel in Western Iowa.

Having, not long since made something
of tour through the Western part OF
Iowa, stopping little at two places, I
have thought that some notes Of the way
may be of interest to the readers OF the

last of January, l took the Central Rail
Road for Ottumwa, reaching there at

with a population Of. 5000, and is quite

should be inclined, certainly from a
Winter view, to call Ottumwa prosperous
rather than attractive.
The day on which I went West from
Ottumwa was sunny, but cold North
west wind kept the frozen ground
from thawing. Our way lay through a
count y broken, and with but few
places specially notable. Charlton, the
county seat of Lucas county, appeared
like large thriving town situated in a
pleasant region, lately supplied with the
best depot noticed along the road. At

he weuld cut 1t down. The negroes there

The Question is frequently asked, why

The question is frequently asked, why
is it that the colored people OF Shena IL
doah vote the Radical ticket, while, al
over the South, they are leaving the Rail
ical party and viii vote for Tilden and
Hendricks? One reason is because the
conservatives have not ibeen active in ex-
planning to the colored paople. the true
state of affairs. South Carolina was count
ed on "a certain radical state. but recent
elections show that in towns where a
large majority of the voters are colored,
the democratic ticket was successful. In
order to check this influence the president
with perfidy which is nothing less than
treason, has sent the army OF the United
States to South Carolina to intimid e
these poor colored people and compel
them to vote for the party which has
robbed them of everything. ViOle nee,
bloodshed and the murder of these poor
people has been caused by these same
radicals in order to prevent mutual good
feeling between the two races. For !hev
know that where the colored. and the
white men are on intimate terms. anu
their respective interests are the same,
that they will support the same parties. A
few white men have attempted to vote the
entire colered population in this county.
They tell them that. If the democratic
party should be successful. the colored
people would be put back In slavery.
These same men know that they are lying
and that they lie in order to deceive these
people. The whites would not restore
slavery, If they could; and they could not.
IL they would. Let the colored people re.
fleet for themselves. All over the South
the more intelligent class of colored peo-
pie gee that they have been imposed upon
by the radicals and they are now deserving
the party which has robbed thou sands OF
them of their hard earned money, and are
to day the cause of hundreds of colorei
people being murdered. What has the
Radio al party done for the colored people
of Shenandoah Nothing, but deceived
them. They arc to-day trying to deceive
them. They want their votes and alter
that thew have no use for them. The tide
which is now turning the colored people
against the Radicals, who III other places,
have robbed them, will reach the poor
people who. in this town, have been
deceived by few designing whites and
soon the colored people will learn that 1t
is good policy to vote with those who are
the true friends.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1876-09-28

To THE CoLoRED MAS.-Wheneve a
Radical tells You to vote for Hayes. ask an
explanation of the Freedman's Bank af-
fair In Washington. Let him tell you how
much the colored people lost-how they
were cheated out of their hard earned
money, and left in a state of restitution.
and above all make him tell you who
did it Ask him if the party now supper
ting Hayes is not the party that robbed
your friends in Washington. Ask him if
the same party is not responsible for the
murder of hundreds of colOred people in
the South. Ask him why thousands of
colored people have left the Radical party
in the South. Ask h i'm if colored minis
tiers of the gospel who heretofore voted
for the Republicans are not now voting
the Democratic ticket. Ask MIN to give
you truthful explanation of these things
If he will do so. you will see that it is to
your interest to desert party which has
robbed thousands. and is to-day needessly
causing the murder Of hundreds Of the
oiored people of the South.
