A Northwestern Paper OF the Negro
legislature OF South Carolina.

sa4e.,.e From the Chicago Times, 10th. ~"r',
The remaining fifty members constitute
the real, genuine South Carolina House OF
REPRESENTATIVES from the Radical stand
point, and that Of the party OF Messrs.
Grant, Chandler, and Morton. They are,
without exception, black as midnight.
They have huge under lips, protruding low
er Jaws, receding foreheads, kinky hair,
enormous, misshapen hands, and colossa',
splay feet. Perhaps ten OF them can read,
and about hall that mum Der can write.
No man having decent self-respect, and
any regard whatever for. country, can look
on this assmblage o! apes, or gorillas, with
out blushing to think he belongs to the
same species. or without pain in thinking
that to tits mass Of ignorance is entrusted
the destiny Of \ great State. A single
glance over their faces, their Srimacing and
their antics-a single hour spent in listen
ing to their rant, their idiotic utterances,
their jumbled and idealess barangues,
would furnish sufficient evidence to
indict Radical management, to convict
il, and to damn it to all eternity.
Philanthropists in the distant North, CON-
ing in contact only with the better and
more docite representatives OF the African
race, accord these southern negroes a
SClDQIUp NlllCl llICY Z NS ldl Al Olu pooS
sessiag as the chattering Of an orang-
outang is beneath the cloquence OF Web
ster. Could such people visit these negro
legislatures and witness their absurdities,
their contortions, their scnseless perform
ances, they would vote unanimously to re-
move them to cages. where, on poles, and
ropes, and bars, their present antics-and
which is termed legislation-would seem ems
tirely appropriate. Nothing more scandal
Gus, nothing more antagonistic to the geniu-
OF modern civilization, can be conceived
than assembling these stupid, malignant,
and non-intelectual gorillas, terming
them legislature, permitting them to
make laws, and then forcing proud, intel.
ligent, and refined people to submit to their
domination. This development of Radical
diabolism is infinitely meaner than all else
that it has committed. 1t has furnished
Belknaps, Robesons, Pomeroys, and thieves
without number; il has demoralized the
official and political morality OF the country
to an extent which half century's. devo-
ton to virtue will scarcely remedy; but
all these are light offences compared to
the infamy involved In the system OF
African domination which it invented
for the unfortunate South. A cen.
tury will not, under the most favorable
circumstances, restore to the South all that
it has lost from the operation Of this Radi-
cal agency. 1t not only affects the South,
but it Affects the entire country. Under
negro rule the southern people have grown
steadily poorer, and their private and pub
lie indebtedness has constantly increased
Their taxable ability has been dwarfed, and
their portion OF the burden has been borne
by the North. Actual or indirect rcDudia.
ton of State debts has become an inevitable
necessity, and honest creditors will be forced
TO suffer enormous losses.

Comfy Roads.

We regret to see by the report of their
proceeding In yesterdays Dispatch that
some Of the people of Henrico-and GER
tainly very respectable portion Of them
oppose the special road bill now pending in
the Legislature for the improvement Of the
highways in Henrico county. We particu.
larly regret this because the meeting offer
ed no plan which they deemed better for
doing the same thing, True, the resolutions
adopted declare the present road law good
enough, provided it be enforced.
That the roads would. he better than they
are il the road law were faithfully observed
we have no doubt. But would that do for
HenricoS for the metropolitan county Of
the State? Assuredly not. Under that law,
properly enforced, the roads would have
such Improvement as could be given them
by the most practicable disposition OF tie
material that is at' hand-the spreading and
arching of earth and the binding of cross
drains, etc.; but; ID that all that Henrico
needsG If she thinks SO, She undertakes
the importance Of her locality and the Crane
opportunity she has for making her whole
surface a garden and o land to be sought
and loved. Her roads ought to have
metat-where nature has moi. made the soil
that can't be improyed-and travel should
be safe, brisk, and delightful i'm oil direc-
tions. b Her lands would be.eyerin demand
and never dead-weight to their owners. 81.
IA The hill i'm the Leaislatllrex Is based upon
the idea TINT what Is needed for Henrico
cannot be secured by the tpresent road law.
There must be something else, and that
must be furnished by taxation. This Is the
very point Of the trouble suppose,
And give US leave to say ,as Henrico should
have better roads than any other county

WHOSE STEERS WE'RE THE sur

1ANkToN, DAKOTA, October, 18th 1877.
Editors Pres 6 Dakotaian: Honor where
honor is due is an old maxim. Looking
over the premiums awarded 10 exhibitor
at the Dakota territorial fair, as stated in
yesterdays Press 4 DAkotaian, l noticed =
great injustice done to Messrs. Bray & Fetch.
er. There it says: Bray & Fletcher, End
best pair yoke oxen, second premium, and
Brennan & Jordan, beat pair steers, first
premium. Having been u visitor at the
fair and knowing something about cattle. I
would state, that Bray & Fletcher had as
tine = pair of 4 year old steers mot yoke
oxen), as ever were seen in Dakota, and the
premium should have been awarded to
them. The steers are still alive and can be
seen at any time at Bray \ Fletcher's yard,
in rear of the butcher shop on Capital street.
Jordan & Brennan had a pair ef yoke oxen
mot steers) exhibited, and strange to Say,
received the first premium for best
pair of steers, although they were yoke
oxen. These yoke oxen, having received
the first premium as best pair of steers, were
under these false colors steered across the
into Nebraska, from where they
had come and were returned to the owner.
| make this statement merely in justice to
Bray & Fletcher, who desire the merit of
exhibited the finest pair of steers at
onr late territorial fair, and hope, that at
any future exhibition the judges may act
with less Partially but with a good deal
judgment ard justice.
