Zach Chandler Is said to be conspiring to
secure the control OF the next House of Rep
resentatives by raising bloody shirt frenzy
in the North, and under cover of it to seize the
hall when the new Congress meets, count out
enough Democrats in the South to give the
Republicans majority on the organization,
and then by expelling others to give q solid
and reliable majority thereafter for all pur
poses. No doubt Chandler would favor such
q scheme. His successful theft of the presi-
dency has made him bold enough for the ven
ture, but there are obstacles in the way which
will prove insuperable even to the unscrupu-
lous Zachariah. The chief Of these Is the
fact that Mr.. George NJ. Adams, q Southern
man, will organize the next House, and he
will be sustained by enough determined
men to enforce his rulings Chandler
and his co-conspirators would do we'll to make
a note Of that.

The Republicans are 50 eager just now for
bloody shirt stories that they will listen at
tentively and pretend to believe these tales,
no matter who the retailer may be, or what
reputation for veracity he may have. Among
those engaged just now In spinning bloody
shirt yarns about the South Carolina election
is q man who was pronounced by the leading
Republicans only few short years ago to be
o Glow, mean, brutal and ignorant negro"
This man is Sam Lee. He YVES one of the
worst negro Radical leaders of South Caro-
lima, an earnest supporter Of and shoulder
hitter for Gov. Moses, and divided with him
the spells of office. Lee was bitter opponent
of Chamberlain in Sumpter county, and
broke up several Chamberlain meetings
there with his gang OF negro bulldozers and
cut-thrOats. In fine, he ruled the county with
his mob for years, and refused to allow any
political discussion there which he did not ap-
prove.
And yet, to-day this illiterate negro bully
figures conspicuously in Washington as
Judge Lee-the negroes Of Sumpter elected
him once probate judge-and the whole Union
is treated to the stories Of ballot-box stufflng
intimidation related by Judges. Lee of Sump-
ter, otherwise known at home as ''Sumpter
Sam"

They are Staying our negroes up North just
now by the hundred. Never has there been
such q slaughter of the innocents before.
Leonard had seventy-five negroes killed on
election day in Caddo parish at one precinct
which usually polls only 200 votes. The New
Orleans correspondents Of the Chicago Tribune
and Courier. journal add to this list a goodly
number Of slain. According to these reliable
correspondents, Concordia furnished during
the campaign fifty murdered negroes These
were to be found, during the campaign, in all
parts of the parish, hung from trees or gate
posts or lying 1nburied in the open fields, a prey
to the buzzards. In the neighboring parish of
Tensas the murdered negroes were even more
numerous, the lowest estimate Of the slain
being one hundred.

The Republican papers have lately started
the cry of "a solid South" as if the South
was far more solid to-day than it was in 1876.
The Democrats have, in fact, gained this year
only two Congressman in the South. Two
districts were carried by the Republicans, but
elected Democrats to Congress on account of
a split in the Republican ranks and the ap-
pearance OF more than one Republican candi-
date in the field. In fine, the Republicans had
q majority and voted majority in just as
many Southern congressional districts this
year as they did in 1876. The Republicans
have gained in the single State Of New York
eight times as many Congressman as the
Democrats have gained In the entire South,

the liquor saloons Of that State. Two wo-
men were accordingly appointed to sit as SEN
tinels at the door Of the billiard room to
warn away all those who sought to enter its
sinful interior, and take down the names Of
those who persisted in risking their souls by
playing billiards. The watch was continually
kept up, the sentinels being relieved every
few hours, and finally met with success, the
unfortunate billiard man being actually
frozen out OF town.
The same association has recently begun O
war on croquet with every prospect of sue
cess. Croquet is q debasing and O. sinful
game, these dear religious folks assert, iden-
teal with billiards and fully as demoralizing.
The man who plays oroquet will ultimately
take to billiards, and will thus gradually sink
lower and lower until he reaches the lowest
depths Of infamy.
In this pious little town stands Oberlin
College. It Is as puritan and religious as
Oberlin itself. The students, male and female,
are kept under the very strictest discipline.
Card playing is criminal, and tobacco will
ensure an instant dismissal At 7 o'clock the
female students must be In their room; at 10
the young men are expected to be at home.
Any Infringement of this rule means rustica-
tion. Altogether the institution is strictly
religious and pious and proud Of It's piety.
But the other day q terrible condition of af-
fairs was shown in Oberlin College. 1t was
found that the students, male and female,
were In the habit Of slipping out OF their
| rooms at night, by the windows, and taking
long strolls through the country. The natu-
raj sequence of seduction followed, and now g
terrible condition OF affairs have been laid bare.
Some dozen or more students has been ex-
PEELED, but it Is hardly likely that this will
re-establish the purity OF Oberlin.

Elsewhere will be found a letter from Major
J, r. Alcee Gauthreaux in reply to q para
graph that appeared in an evening paper on
the day of election. calculated and designed
to injure that gentleman with the people Of
New Orleans, and especially with the voters
then depositing their ballots. Mr.. Gau-
threaux's services to the citizens of Louisiana
were too familiar to the public for the para
graph to have the effect intended His popu-
,Iarity, won by many years' devotion and ear
nest labor in the services OF the State and
the Democratic party. was 800 firmly founded
for that. The statement Of no anonymous
gentleman could shake 1t, as the result
showed. Mr.. Gauthreaux's plul atty OF more
than 1000 votes, Notwithstanding che persist

activity Of his enemies. was a splendid In
