had been heard of any Russians buying horses the story
however, might have been founded upon the fact that

LlBERIA-A PURELY "RACE' GOV
~ FRNMENT.

The citizens of Liberia, We are told,
are having 'race issue in their politics.
An amendment to the constitution allow
ing white men TO own land and become
citizens of the republic was voted down
at the recent presidential election. There
is no reason to object TO this. 1t was the
purpose of the colonization society In
founding a settlement of colored men in
Liberia to exclude white men from any
official and interior control of Its affairs.
1t was to be an African colony, governed
in the beginning by Africans who had ac-
quired some degree of civilization either
as slaves or freemen in the United States.
The ulterior object of the society was TO
Introduce like civilization, which was
hoped would be progressive among the
wild African tribes that occupy the coun-
try back of Liberia, to establish trading
posts OH the rivers, and thus bring the
blessings and humanizing influence OF
commerce to bear upon native savaeery.
Although the first settlement was in 1870,
and large numbers of coloDists have since
been sent there from the United States,
the increase, so far as these emigrants and
their descendants are concerned, has been
counts, only nineteen thousand, but they
constitute the rising class, and have adj
ded So largely to the original territory
that Liberia now covers 9,700 square
miles, aud includes within its jurisdiction
70l,l00 aburigineS. Among the latter
several missions have been established,
although the efforts to Christianize them
have not thus far been very successful.
The great good that has been gained is the
peaceful relations that have been institu-
ted between the Liberians proper aud the
native tribes.
As a test Of the ability Of people of the
African race 10 govern themselves the az
pertinent is more promising than that Of
lIayti, where the exclusion of white men
from any participation in the affairs of the
republic has also been rigidly entorced.-

LOUISIANA RASCALITY.

The threat made at Cincinnati by Jew.
ett, the secretary ofthe Louisiana Repub.
lican Stote Central Committee, that in
emergencies he would expose the manner
in which Louisiana was carried by doctor
ing the returns Of supervisors, contains a
good deal more than appears on the sur
face, and some of the circumstances at
least are known to several persons. The
Philadelphia Times man, who was down
in New Orleans during the Returning
Roard canvass, let's in the light on one
phase of the rascality:
After the election the supervisors of
East and West Felciana sent in their re-
turns without protest, each ridiculing the
idea of protesting on account of intimi.
dation. The Eemocrotic majority in East
Feliciana was l 1,743 votes, as cast in the
eeguar boxes, and over 400 cast in other
boxes by men deprived of registration,
owing to the absence of the supervisor.
This brought the Democratic majority up
to some 2,200. In West Felicana it was
about 900. When it was found that Hayes
election depended on the State, all the
power of the Republican chiefs was
brought to bear on these two supervisors,
as the State could not by any means have
been carried for Hayes unless these par.
ishes were thrown out, The fact that
there were no Republican votes cast in
East Feliciana made a good case on its
face for the Republicans. Thesupervisor
of West Feliciana made a protest after the
time required by law. The supervisor
of East Feliclana made a gederal state

BRADLEY'S CONFESSION.

Justice Jo Bradley has felt the neces-
sity of coming before the country with a
letter, in respect to the part he played in
the Electoral Commission Fraud. It is
strange piece of work for a man in his
senses. fhe meant it to be explanatory
and defensive, he must have left his sen.
ses behind him when he wrote it, for any
person who looks at it, as printed else
where in the Sun, will see that it is in
the nature of a confession Of the charges
that are brought against him.
We charged that in the argument on
the Florida case before the Electoral Com
Justice Bradley wrote out his opinion
and decision favoring the Tilden electors
and next day gave his vote on the other
side. In dealing with this charge Justice
Bradley makes no denial of it whatever,
but turns away from it with The utter.

glteT!ce and of no concern 10 anybody, If the
opinion Uhich ! finally gaze was the fairre
suit of my deliberations, without inau.
ence from outside parties" In a subse~
quent part of his letter he recurs to the
charge, and says that, in examining the
question of going behind the returns, he
"tcrote and re1OrOte The drglments on both
sides, sometimes being inclined TO one UietC of
the subject, and sometimes 10 the other, but
finally threw aside these lucubrations,p .
and then Justice Bradley wrote ont the
opinion which he read in the Florida
case. Thus he wavered from side to side
arguing on both sides, perhaps twenty
times, and apparently changing his view
of the question as often as he wrote
about it. Justice Bradley's conscience,
reason, Judgment, and legal opinions
were evidently in strange state of con-
fusion at the time he was trying TO reach
a decision of the question before the un-
constitutional Electoral Commission.
Justice Bradley takes great pains to
deny one charge that has not been pre-
ferred against him. He says: "I had no
private discussion whatever (who charged
him with such discusaion9 ofthe subjects
at issue with any person interested on
the Republican side, and but very few
words with any person." He further
says he ''sedulously avoided all discussion
outside the Commission itself.p Justice

SINCE Secretary Sherman said "can be,
ought to be, and will be executed" has
Mr.. West repeated his statement in his
set speech at Bellefontaine His views
on Resumption were these: ...
"Some change in existing legislation
may be necessary to effect this. The
Resumption Act provides no plan or
means for its execution. The opposition
who have controlled the Lower House of
Congress since its passage in 1875, have
steadily refused to unite in providing
any. The present House will undoubt-
edly persist in such refusal. The time
fixed for resumption is but little more
than a year distant. Surrounded and
clogged by these embarrassments, do
not perceive how it is possible for the
authorities to Consummate resumption
on the day fixed without the most seri-
GUS consequences, unless the opposition
House shall come to their aid, which is
not at all probable. Reconciliation can.
not furnish the needed relief within the
period limited. The substitution, for the
last clause ofthe act, Of appropriate pro.
visions adapting it to the agency of re.
monetization, or the suspension or abro-
cation Of the clause, for these reasons, in
dispensable."
