Idustry Ii, the .sDeyfps Den g, 9; aud the lying
and malice-sowing through pictures done
ID that factory will he exaggerated In the
line of deviitry withall possible monstrosity
to the day Of election. The HARpERs are
meek and sanctimonious professors OF
Christianity which teaches Its followers to
do unto others as they would that others
should do unto them, and, above all, to be
honest. and to Sell no lies. We know no
man who has told more lies since the war
than HARPER, and we know no man who
has done SO much as HARPER to spread
discord in the land and to inhame the
resentments OF people. Whatever may
happen, the men who have done all this
will have their reward.
The old story which has travelled through
the legends and literature OF ages that the
devil purchases souls by giving men GER
tain temporary powers and qualifications.
the souls of the men to be forfeit after
n certain period, is always beng re-
produced. We know no people who
have more probably entered into an ar
rangement Of this kind with the engineer
of all evil than the men who are now en-
gagged in the unhallowed work OF infiaming
the discords and sectional raneors OF the
nation, and endeavoring to increase the dis
tresses and expressions OF the PROSTATE
South. All know that the only effect Of
this deyilish work is to continue the mis-
rule of the Radical party. Herein lies the
reward but it would be worse bargain
than the devil ever made il there were no
limit put upon the tenure OF this reward
in the contract. It Is there, and the
end Of the contract is not far off.
Among the earliest Of forfeitures that will
be claimed by the devil will be those Of the
leaders in spreading troubles and those who
have thriven most by their wicked devices.
The HARP1Es will be "there or Whereabouts. y
The bloody-shirt pictures and strategies
are about ..gone up" and we may all
afford to waive them along to the common
doom of the masters and their creations.

CAROLINE COUNTY.

CHIIEsBURG, VA, October 20, 1876.
Editors Dispatch: As a faithful chroni-
cler of passing events, it is my duty to
write you short account OF tournament
and ball which came off near this place on
Wednesday, 18th instant. This is indeed a
pleasant duty to me, for / have never be-
! held a more enjoyable affair 0. the kind.
Thirteen gallant knights entered the lists,
and each We'd manfully with the other to
salute rs queen the chosen lady Of his heart.
After Il very spirited contest the judges
announced that the following gentlemen
were entitled to the honors respectively !:
r. Ohio Wordsworth, Knight OF Flying
Cloud: William II. McKenney, Knight Of
the Lost Cause; A. II. Mckinney, Knight
of the Grange; james =. Wood, Knight OF
the Last Rose Of Summer. While all OF the
knights acquitted themselves admirably,
splendid riding OF the Knight OF Flying
Cloud, who took nine rings on three sue
cessive rounds, thereby winning the first
honor. -
As the shades OF night approached the
bellies and beallX repaired to the hospitabe
residence of Arch. Beasley, Esq, to attend
the coronation ball. Here were assembled
so much wit and beauty that it would ap-
pear to be a very difficult task for the sue
cessful knight to choose his queen; but he
unhesitatingly named Miss Maggie Thorn
kinS as the Queen Of Love and Beauty, and
no fairer princess ever ruled over any
realm. Her maiesty's court consisted OF
Miss Laura Cobb, first maid Of honor; Miss
Alice Cobb, second maid Of honor; and
Miss Bette McKenney, third maid OF
honor. The coronation address was de-
livered by Mr.. Thomas n. WEIGH.
The farmers are busy seeding wheat.
Tiden and Hendricks meetings are being
held all over the county. Yours, D. D.

ple OF the whole country who are on the
point of making all such usurpations and
outrages at once and forever impossible by
driving from place and power the unseru-
puIous and laWless Administratio by favor,
and In aid of;which they have been planned
and perpetrated. The proclamation OF Pre-
sident Grant and the order Of his Secretary
OF War give plain warning to thoughtful
and conservative men OF all parties through
out the North and the West that nothing
whatever, neither the lives and liber-
ties of American citizens, nor the prin-
ciples of the Constitution, nor the explicit
law of the land, nor the decisions OF
the great tribunal which stands between
all the interests Of American society and a
worse than South American anarchy, will
be for one moment weighed in the balance
by the men who rule this country to-day
against the perpetuation Of their power. 1t
is to all intents and purposes, and In the
strictest meaning OF the phrase, an 1ncen-

way to this duty lies OPEN peacefully before
every good citizen to-day.

is registered duly and exactly on the voting
lists OF the metropolis before the sun goes
down tonight. Let the citizens OF South
Carolina possess their souls yet little while

The Devils Den.

The establishment from which issue the
Hwper'S Weekly and Monthly is the ODE
Wis en," il the g Father Of lies " has 4 den
anywhere. JOHN NJ. DANIEL called the
HARPERs "thc HARPIEs." The name is eX-
celent. 1t described the men exactly. The
men who profited so immensely by south
ern support and who have spared no device
within the range Of ialsehood and malicious
Misrepresentation that could distress or in
iure the South MAST, aforeigner and man OF
genius, has been ready at their command to
give pictorial form to their evil impulses. We
suppose MAST has no partisan feelings at all !;
but is merely the craftsman OF lies and iniGui-
ties that are conceived by "the HARPIEs y
and liberally paid for by them. MAST, we I'M
asine, is not mentally or morally OF suffi-
cient elevation to appreciate the dishonor
he involves himself in by becoming the me-
dunn Of the villainies OF "the HARpIEs."
His pencil is basely prostitutcd indeed;
but ne does not know it. AS Mr.. TOoTs
says, "it's Of no consequence"
The last No. Of Ha,per's Weekly is in
famous. NAST's cartoons are the cOncen-
trated essence Of malice and falsehood. The
frontpiece essaying to implicate T1LDEN by
association with TWEED is so VIGOROUSLY
false that the artist sinks to the low level Of
a blackguard lei in a vulgar picture. There
is no title OF evidence that would suggest
the slightest ground for any association OF
TnDEN with TWEED that could be tortured
into odium. Another cartoon is an attempt
to satirize what is called the "shot-gun
policy 1t is a failure, and resembles those
shot-guns That f.kick the shooter over"
Any ailusion to the force policy is rehec-
ton upon the Administration ''bayonet
policy" And ssNAsT" has displayed in
this picture either libel upon the Cauca-
sian man or his picture represents a.negro.
As the former, it must excite indignation
in the white mans breast; while as the lat
terit exhibits the negro, rampant with de.
struct!yencss, rs master Of field in which

What a Cincinnati Lawyer learned il,
Richmond.
TCincinnati Commercial, 10TH

1Cincnnali Commercial, 19th.I
A gentleman eminent in the legal profess
sion, Republican, but not taking any ac-
tive part in the canvass, (does not wish his
name given,) expressed his belief unhesi-
tatingly that the southern negroes needed
protection at the ballot-box. He proceeded
to state that he recently visited Richmond
and other parts of Virginia, and found the
people there as unreconstructed iii the en-
preston might be usedD as Immediately after
the war; that they are determined the
whites OF the South shall have supremacy,
and that they know this cannot be the case
in some of the southern States-like South
Carolina, for eXample-so long as the colored
people are permitted to vote as they please.
Hence the system of intimidation, so that
colored voters are afraid in many instances
to 90 to the polls.
Reporter: Are your impressions derived
from residents in the State of Virginia?
Mr.. -: Yes. had a conversation with
lawyer in Richmond who had been in the
rebel service during the entire war, and
who was opposed to secession until N1r-
einia seeded, and then felt that his allie
glance was first due to that State. lie adj
mitted to me that he apprehended serious
difficulties in the South, growing out OF the
right OF the negro to the electoral fran
chise. He strongly condemned the HAM
burg massacre, and thought there was no
extenuation Of the offence OF the whites
en- gagged therein. He had no doubt that in
the future there would be more or less Of
difficulty, and possibly bloodshed, at
political elections; but he believed,
upon the whole, it would be bet
ter that the southern people should
be permitted to settle those difficulties them
selves, and that in process OF time there
would spring up better understanding
between the colored people and their former
masters, and that both political parties
would find it to their interests to eonciliate
by kindness the good will OF the .colored
people. This gentleman did not intimate
to me that he believed they would have any
particular trouble in Richmond.
Reporter: How. do che presidential can
didates stand in Virginia? ~, .,.
Mr.. -: / found the: people in, Rich
.mond with whom I had. any conversation
onrpolitical subjects to be mostly in favor Of
Tilden, because they supposed him to be in
sympathy with the South during the war
and still to be in sympathy with the south
| ern people. -.2. III - -t,-:g ;,ss y,
