IDLE FEARs-THE BLOODY Shirt
The Republican waved the "bloody>shirt"
yesterday, and expsessed its fears that
Governor Nichols of Louisiana would
be disturbed in his slumbers by the
''ghosts of murdered negroes" We think
the fears of the Republican on this score
are idle, and as weak as is its sympathy
for the negroes Its desire to have the
country kept in state of excitement in
order that grist might come to the Radi-
cal political mill, is very bunglingly dis
guised, and can be discerned by those of
the smallest intelligence.
"The ghosts Of the murdered negroes"
are more likely to visit Kellogg and
Packard than Nichols, since the govern
ment of the State was in their hands !;
and if murderers were not brought to
justice and made to atone before the
laws it is the fault of Republican officers
and Republican judges. We call the
attention of the Republican to this fact.
And also to the fact that the case of the
reported massacre in South Carolina. in
which. so many negroes were said to
De shot by whites led by Senator Butler,
has never been tried, although the men
charged with such bloody deeds by
Chamberlain surrendered themselves and
asked for trial repeatedly. We further
point 1t to the fact that Senator Patterson
has since boasted that that massacre was
necessary to Republican success that il
gave them the vote of South Carolina, and
that Hayes owes his election to the per.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT is
rapidly spreading, and is likely to assume
immense proportions during the coming
month. The st. Mary's (Catholic) Total
Abstinence Society, paraded on Thursday
night in full regalia, headed by splen-
did band of music, and carried handsome
banners. They marched to the Institute
Hall, where a number of addresses were
made. We have heard of several very
important additions to this cause Of men
who have heretofore been addicted to
hard drink, whose influence upon Others
ought to have weight. Reform in all
such directions ought to be aided and
encouraged by every Que. The drunkard
is an injury to all classes-he brings dis
grace upon himself and every one with
whom he associates ; at no ones door does
he leave so much odium as that of the
the saloon keepero or liquor vender. Liquor
always has been sold and always will be,
we presume, and the honest and fair
dealer in it is often subjected to the Sc
verest censure because drunkard visits
his store, whom he has not the heart to
treat harshly or drive away.
Drunkenness is the cause of tenn
perance revivals, and they are rarely
produced until society is moved to take
up the cause by the bad actions of men
of influence arising chiefly from excessive
drink. An habitual drunkard in an official
position will be sure to produce just such
raids upon King Alcohol as are now wit
messed nightly in our city. Every wife
and mother S interested in preventing
drunkenness /; but none more so than the
saloon keeper.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICER SHOULD BE
SUsTAINED.-Mr. Provost, the assessor
and tax collector Of the Northern District,
has discharged his duty well and faith
fully since his election; and we have
heard of no complaints against him from
parties who were not guilty of arefusal to
pay their taxes. The city cannot pay ex-
penses and keep out of debt if citizens are
allowed to sneak behind their political
parties and not pay the taxes. If they
are allowed to do this other people who
90 pay have to pay double, Every man
ought to take pride in contributing his
fair share to the support of good govern
ment. Mr.. Provost was yesterday sued
before Esquire Hagany and subsequently
before Esquire Brady, and in both cases
the charges againit him were so utterly
false that the magistrates dismissed the
case. Mr.. Provost is determined to
make many men pay up who have here
Iolore pald no TAX at all, although they
have been getting good wages and have
had constant work. These men each
may have several children in the public
schools. They have endeavored to scare
Mr.. p. by threats to desert his party, but
he does not scare worth cent and as a
last resort, few days since, be took a
list of names with him to Philadelphia
and laid them before Mr.. kenney, Gene
raj Superintendent of the P, W. 4 b. II,
X. This gentleman called for the pay
roll and expressed great astonishment
The result was an order to pay the taxes
or something very much worse to the de.
linquent would follow. 1t is mortifying tc
think we have men in the community
who will thus desire to live at tic
expense of other peoples labor.
