Mr.. Lincoln's opinion Of carpet
baggers: ''Northern men elected at
the point of the ~bayonet," was cxpres-
sed in his usual homcly but expressive
language. "To send u parcel of
Northern men here, as representatives
elected at the point ofthe bayonet," he
wrote to Hon. G. Il, Shcpley at New
Orleans in 1862, "would be disgraceful
and outrageous; and, were | a member
of Congress here. | would vote against
admitting any such men to q seat"
Yet this is precisely what tie Republi.
can party has been doing ever since
Mr.. Lincoln's death.

The Charleston News and Courier
Republican politicians are beginning
to think seriously of going back on ne
gro suffrage in the States, rs they have
in the District OF Columbia. This is
altogether because they see that the
long career of robbery of the South
ern States, which the negro population
at last finds affects them as it does
white men, is turning the negro vote
against them. The Ohio State Jour.
nal, the home organ of Hayes, says
1.-The fair thing to do should the pres
ent Democratic terrorism and intimi,
dalton in the South be perpetuated,
would be to count out the blacks en-
tirely in the basis of representation, in
which case tho South would lose fifty
electoral votes and fifty representatives
in Congress-" A similar proposition
is made by the Chicago Inter- Ocean.

U~uited.States. Senator,

Our exchanges from all parts of the
State are discussing the Senatorial
question vigorously, and nearly all o!
them have conferred on Hon. Peter
Turney as the most suitable man from
Middle Tennessee. W. could fill our
paper with notices taken from the
press throughout the State favoring
his election, but have only space for
the following, from the Jackson Dis
patch, which We endorse in toto:
"Judge Turney has long been our
choice from Middle Tennessee. In
our estimation he possesses all the
qualifications necessary for the Federal
Senate. His mind is large and com
prehcnsive, we'll poised, and held TO
Its well matured purposes by an infex.
lille will, Like a true statesman on ali
questions Of State, he searches and
SEXES upon truth from friend or foe,
does not jump at conclusions, frees
himself from all bases and preju1ices
in his Investigations, opens up all the
avenues of information to himself, and
when with the strides of a giant he
plants himself on a conviction, found,
ed on eternal truth, impartial justice,
the constitution of his country and the
welfare of the people. his position is
imrregnabie. He is the friend Of the
whole people, swayed by no local pref
or partisan influences. Such a
nan the people need these anxious
lines in the Federal Senate"

WYE LA THE GOVERNOR
OF OREGON
A Bombshell in the Radical
Camps.
Oregon Comes Squarely to the
Rescue,
And Elects "Uncle Sammy" by
One Vote,
Despite the ThieVing Returning
Boards.
Truth Will Prevail.

Samuel J. Tilden has rccei 'cd the
requisite 1875 votes in spite OF s~Ihd
ling Returning Boards. Little Oregon
came to tho rescue manrully, The
Governor Of that State, on the 9th in
slant, issued certificates to two Hayes
Electors and one Tilden Elcctor, The
former declining to meet with the Dem
o~cratic Elector, the latter, who held
al! three certificates, appointed two Re
publicans to act IN their place. Inc
two whom he appointed met with him
received their certificates, and then al
voted for Presldent-two for Hayes
and one for Tildon. This is certainly
u browning victory for Democracy ant
Reform.

before Mr.. Tilden's term expires, II he
should be declared elected, he will be
hampered and restricted in the execu-
ton of his policy by an opposition
Senate and House Of Representatives !;
and the country will thus be deprived
of the advantages of the victory they
have won by a change in the Executive
department. That the Democrats
have much to learn from the blunders
of the majarity in the present House,
is q fact which was seriously felt in the
Presidential contest. The Northern
supporters of Tilden and Hendricks
had the burden Of these blunders to
bear, and came nigh losing the election
in consequence.
1t will be bad policy and worse taste
for the Southern portion Of the party
to assume the leadership or to set up
pretensions to conspicuous positions in
committees. 1t must be remembered
that we have been but recently read
mitted to the places at the council
board from which we had voluntarily
