rHE xoURNAL AND THE NEGRO.

The Journal talks to the negro as IL he
were a baboon, destitute of common sense
or any other kind of sense; q sort of domes-
ticsted wild beast trained By carpet-baggers
and radical thieves to vote as they may die
tate, and be swindled at their pleasure and
leisure The Journal parades column or
so of idle stuff about the fifteenth amend
ment as an evidence of radical sympathy for
the negro, but is careful not TO say word
about the radical conspiracy which inaugu-
rated the Freedman's bank swindle by which
the negro was deprived of his hard earned
savings to enrich set of the most infamous
radical scoundrels that ever escaped
the halter. The Journal does not
and dare not tell the negro that
Lincoln did not care a baubee for the negro
when he issued his emancipation proclama-
ton, whether he were slave or freeman.
He said in reply to Horace Greeley demand
for emancipation: "If there be those who
would not save the Union unless they could
at the same time save slavery do not agree
with them. If there be those who would
not save the Union unless they could at the
same time destroy slavery do not agree
with them. Ny paramount object in this
struggle is to save the Union, and Is not
either to save or destroy slavery. If could
'sare the Union tCittout freeing any Stare ,couH
do it," Here is the whole radical theory
concerning the negro. The party never
cared farthing for the negro. 1t was will
ing to sell him, and since he has been eman-
cipated it has on all occasions been ready to
swindle him out of his vote and out
of his money. 1t so happens that the
negro wants work and wages like any other
human being, and he has in thousands of in
stances discovered that the policy of the rad
ical party deprives him of both. He finds
that under radical rule he is starving to
death. He finds that, having voted the rad
zeal ticket for years, things are growing
worse all the time. He finds that whenever
an opportunity offers radicals manage to
steal his money, and then silence his COM
plants by telling hin; he has the right to
vote. This game has been played on the
colored man about as long as he can stand it.
He wants food and clothing for himself,
his wife and his children. He knows
that the policy of the radical party
has deprived him of these absolute essen
tials of life, and he is tired and disguised
with his servitude to radical leaders, who,
like Lincoln, did not care whether he was
slave or a freeman, and who do not care now
whether he lives or dies, so that they can
obtain his vote. The radical party is pretty
badly scared, for it has become SO devilIsh
mean in sll things that the negroes are
abandoning it everywhere. The next thing
the radical leaders will try to accom-
plish to recruit their wasted ranks will be to
place the ballot in the hands of the Chinese,
encourage the heather to spread themselves
over the land and vote the radical ticket.
As for the negro, he is likely in the future
to consider his personal welfare instead of
the success of party which could do moth
ing for him before he could vote, and has
since swindled him on all occasions

THE grand receptions extended to Senator
Voorhees, wherever he has appointments to
address the people are in the highest degree
complimentary. They resemble ovations,
and are unequivocal Endorsements of his
course as senator. His speeches are the mas
terly efforts of his life, with the dignity of
craftsmanship and mature years there is the
fire of his early manhood, the cultured
wealth of matchless oratory and the wisdom
of experience. He draws the people to him,
he holds them by the magic of his wonder
full eloqusnce, convInees them by his logic,
and leaves them wiser and better prepared
for the duties of citizens. Honest republi-
cans are convinced; hidebound RAIDS are ter
rifed; democrats are built up in the faith;
nationals swear he is the man for Morton's
seat in the senate, and the outlook grows
daily more cheering.

strong as holy writ that its heart and kid
neys have changed places and functions,
and that il has gone stark mad. The policy
which the Journal so enthusiastically APP
plauds made 1t impossible, with property
valued at 1854 500 to pay mortgages amount
ing to 1915, 1000. Sherman and his co-work
ing Shylocks have increased the lifting power
of the currency tremendously. It has lifted
here in indianapolis houses, and even the
solid ground. out OF Judge Martindale's
hands into the pockets of banks
and life insurance companies, and still
the Journal is tckled from its toes
to the end OF its nose. 1t has lifted about
1900 citizens of Indiana out OF business into
the ranks of poverty. aud lifted about s26,
900, 900 out of their fortunes and scattered
the money like leaves before an autumnal
wind storm. The increased power of money
so far as has been exhibited Is the
destruction of more than $1,000, 000, 600
in the value of real estate and the wiping
out of fully s., 600, 100000 of assets, which
10000 enterprising men emp Dyed in carry
ing forward various descriptions of business
Still, says the Journal. John Sherman de-
serves the thanks of honest men," because
he is "a man not to be seduced or driven
from the path Of public duty" III John
Sherman is deserving such compliments,
how about the devil, liars, forgers and per-
jurers2 Can't the Journal indulge in little
indorsing of radical scamps generally?

fxins, and reduce it to a howell. as it has
thousands of families, we presume the Jour
nal, in the wealth of its gratitude, would
still demand that John Sherman should
have the thanks Of all honest men. John
Sherman is fraud, and the Journal is
Knaye or a fool for indorsing his policy.

Love I'm a Lodging House.
Virginia CNev.) Chronicle.l


Some weeks ago the fair keeper Of
lodging house in this city. who had some
what passed that tune of life when womans
charms are POLITICALLY alluded to as 1.-The
beauty which mad1ens the passions of
EARTH" called at the Chronicle Office and
asked one of the reporters to back" letter
for her. He wrote on the back the address
of person by the name Of Simmins, resid-
ing in Bodie. The next day the woman
again came in with letter. and wanted the
address of the same man printed on the en-
velope in bold type. She was informed that
this would only be an extra expense.
II don't care for that she replied; when

does When Simmins comes back here he's
goln to marry me; and Pm not goin' to take
any chances on those fool postmasters mis-
laying the letter"
Accordingly the woman got 80 envelopes
with the address of Simmins printed thereon,
ana left the Office satisfied that ali was well.
No more was seen OF the fair creature for a
week or more, when suddenly she burst into
the Office like tornado.
Say. Mister Reporter, Simmins has
double banked me, and want him written
up"
'-Simmins is off; be has left me. All, these

loan him $50 he'd marry me-"
you don't mean to say you advanced the
money!
ayes, was fool enough to do it, and now
he's left me altogether He never answered
one of them letters with his address printed
on the envelopes. But I've got over two
dozen of his letters written to me before he
left the Comstock, and want every one of
'em printed in the Chrosicle. It'll make a
big sensation, tell you. He must be shown
up"
The woman rushed on and promised to
bring the letters next day. In the morning
she came in, radiant with JOY. Simmins,
the lost one, had returned, taken a room IN
her lodging house, and all was well.
How much for 100 wedding cards?" she
inquired.
The Job man showed her a number of sam
Piles and prices and she took them away to
see which she liked best, and to consult her
affianced concerning them
IL was week before she came back. furi-
Gus with rage. Simmins had left her house,
carrying away his love letters and not paying
his room rent. and was now in Gold Hill

ceiver, whom she considered a bad man, well
calculated to break up good families

One point, however, is apparent: Mr.. Orth
received 81 600 in Venezuelan certificates, and
had them as late as 1876; and he says he re-
ceived them, some in 1871, some in 1877, some
in 1873. Now If he did not get them from Tai
mage and Stilwel, from whom did he get
them? And IL he did not receive the greater
part Of them from Talmage for services as
attorney, what were the services for which
they were paid him? Part of the year II he
was member of congress, and from October,
~, TO December, 70, he was member elect for
the state at large. These periods of official
connection with the government may cover
the times OF receipt of some, If not all, of
the certificates. On this point there is no ex-
PLANTATION.
The matter of attorn eyship is not the only
one I'm which the client Talmage contradicts
Mr.. Orth, but the other contradictions are of
minor importance, and we let them pass.
The prOpriety of a member of congress elect
lending himself to the schemes of a ring striv-
ing TO get congress to help them to what Mr..
Stein manfuIly calls "plunder," he knowing
that the schemes are based upon fraud and
that the proceeds Will be "plunder,o is not yet
settled that we know of by public opinion.
We simply suggest that this is good time to
settle 1t. Mr.. Orth would make a good ex.
ample.
In view of all this mass of rascality one
would suppose the Indianapolis Journal
would oppose Orth's election. Not so. 1t
Indorses 0rth and would gladly see him
once more where he could practice Venezue
Ian crookedness.

sence OF the huge masses, pillows, pillars,
