The Crystal Springs Monitor presents
some sartling facts regarding the
tramps. 1t says the South supports
one hundred thousand northern tramps
six months of each year. Cost $50 a
hea Ito all five millions annually.
But the South gets no credit for her
charities. Aud most of these tramps,
thus annually fed by our people, are
the very men who cama with aims i'll
their hands against us. If we are to
worship the North for her noble gener
osty in our late sore distress, surely
the North owes US something in the
shape OF gratitude for the generous
hospitality extended to this itenerant
class of her people. Five millions of
dollars carried away every year, from
people so poor, is a severe tax upon
their charity as we'll as their industry.

The Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-In his forth
coming message the President will
make the alleged outrages and violn-
tions of law in the South during the
late Congressional election, Il prominent
topic of comment These will be con-
demned as forcibly depriving large
number of citizens in specified locali-
ties of rights conferred by both nation
al and State authority, thus preventing
results expressive of their will in the
administration of public affairs. The
subject will be presented to the cousid
Grafton of Congress for such action as
the circumstances demand.
Owing to the decision of the United
States Supreme court that the enforce
ment act was unconstitutional, it not
being in specific accordance with the
fifteenth constitutional amendment. and
the failure Of the House in the forty
third Congress to spass the Senate bill
designed to meet the Judgment of that
tribunal, there is no law to punish 6
class of cases affecting colored men,
which the act was intended to reach.
The law relative to the election of
members of Congress affords remedy
for some of the reported wrongs, in-
fecting fine of $500 and imprison-
ment for enc year on any person found
guilty of illegally prosecuting or obs
structing the free exercise of voting,
and fine of 1000 and imprisonment
for not more than ten years on those
engaged in conspiracy for the sams
purpose.

Southern plan of shot gun bull-dooz'

chance, and is of chIvalrous nature.

A 'EiiGen Paper GA the Suns
Flop.

The Sun and the Eagle are agreed
on one point at least, to>wt: that the
war upon Tilden has essentially been q
war upon Democracy, and that nothing
short Of miracle can bring success to
a party which permits or looks with in
difference upon the moral ASSASSINATION
of it's leader in controversy that in
volved the life of the republic. Mr..
Tilden may not be the candidate of the
Democratic party in 1880, but it is not
easy to see with what plea the party,
after rejecting him, will go before the
people, if he be alive. Is the fraud to
be condoned? If so, for what offense
shall the Amerinan people be asked to
condemn the Republicansleaders? If
the fraud is not to be condoned, what
evidence of sincerity will The Democrats
be able to present that will offset the
refusal to let redress express itself
through the man upon whom the fraud
took its most conspicuous effect? The
Sun is, we believe, at least premature
with its announcement of Nh. Tilden &
retirement.

THE New York Sun says whatever
there may be in the ciper dispatches,
the following propositions have been
amply established and cannot be re
futed:
I. The Returning Boards were for

IL. They were not bought by the

III. They were bought by the
agents of Mr.. Hayes. and the price was
partly paid in greenbaeks, but mostly
in salaries from the public Treasury, in
contracts, and IN jobs.

How, according to our cotemporary,
would Encouragement like this work,
for the taxes of 1879? 1. That the
taxes (State and county, be paid ON
or before the 1st day Of February 2
That all taxes then remaining Unpaid
carry damages at the rate of five per
cent. mouth until the regular sale
day, for the taxes of 1879, when delin
quent property shall he sold. This ar
rangement would postpone sales Of deli
inquent lands for one year, while at the
same time the five per cent. would be
an inducemeEt for all to pay who could
possibly do so.
If a better plan cannot be devised,
we suggest that this be adopted. The
people need relief.

SHERMAN is great scamp. 1t IS well
know that the trade dollar contains sew
en- and one-half grains more of silver
than the legal tender dollar, yet only
little while ago Sherman and the
National Bankers organized a comhina-
ton and deprecated the value of the
trade dollar ten per cent. in the hands
OF the people, and drove 1t out of cir,
culation, compelling the people to
stand the loss. Now they have organ
lied similar raid on the legal tender
silver dollar, because it does not con-
tain sHrer enough, and propose to
bulldoze it out of circulation, and in
duce Congress to increase it's weight or
again demonetize it.

the toGu of BroJkhaven is not respon-

In the second place, Brookhaven has
"wishy Vastly" Democrats, AS has
other towns. Third, THE LEDGER Is
here, has boen.and is doing it's duty.
The gong has been sounded loud
enough, but was probably not sounded
long enough, as it WAS only announced
a few days before the election that there
would be an opposition candidate in
the field. We were the first to an
nounce the fact, and urged adherence to
the Democratic nominee. The Demo

lar Democratic nominees?

to make or questions to ask, We are
