4" He was foully assassinated.n But
there were ten or fifteen more of him
who we're not foully assassinated. They
were all 81 influential politicians" who
religiously believed in the dogma of
local self government. They met in
general assembly at their gin house,
and deliberated upon the mode of self
government they would pursue. 1t was
enacted that they should assemble on
certain Sabbath day, armed with double
barreled shOt-guns, and proceed to the
residence of reputable citizen who was
their political adversary. They pro-
ceeded to carry the law made at the gin
house assembly into effect. Armed and
equipped for the work of slaughter they
invaded the premises of their political
enemy, entered his domicile, seized him
without warrant or other law than that
made by themselves at the gin house,
carried him to the appointed Slaughter
house, called the Jail, and there pro-
ceeded further to enjoy and exercise
the right of local self-government by
numbering him, his daughter, his young
boy, and two of his friendly neighbors.
Having " finished the work for which
they came''-these we're the words of
their leader-they shouldered their
double-barreled shot-guns and returned
to their homes, rejoicing in their ." con-
stitutional right of local self-govern-
ment," and singing p@ans to the "prin-
ciples of Democracy"
His name was Gully. There were a
great many of him, and all of him con-
stituted an important factor in the poll
tics of that charming and self-govern-
ing country. One of him had been
foully assassinated, and it devolved up
on the rest of him, by virtue of the right
of local self-government, to avenge his
death by assassinating the foremost
man of the opposite party, together
with his daughter, his son, and such of
his neighbOrs as ventured to object to
such exercise of that right by the rest
of the liberty-loving Mr.. Gully. The
pretense of the rest of him that he had
been foully assasinated by the money of
his political adversary was grotesquely
absurd. Had it been a warranted pre-
tense it would have furnished not the
least justification, legal or moral, of
the butchery that was done by the adj
mirers of local self-government. But
it was a pretense without the least

The BlaokYille Outrage.

For long time prior to the lst of
January complaint had been made that
there were Irregularities in the manage
ment of the Blackville S. c., post-Of-
fee. A special agent of the Post-office
Department was directed to investigate
these complaints. He did so, and made
a report under date of July 4th, 1879.
According to this report both Miss
Maher, the postmistress, and her dep
uty, who was also her nephew, were
persons as unsuitable as could have
been found to place in charge of such
an Office. Letters mailed at the office
would sometimes lie there for weeks
before being sent, and letters received
if addressed to colored people or Re-
publicans, were often detained in like
manner. During political campaign
it was found impossible to send letter
through the office at all when it was
addressed to a Republican either in or
out of the State.
The Special Agent relates an instance
where a package of campaign docu-
ments was addressed TO a Republican
at Blackville. He called at the office
after its receipt, but did not find it.
The next day he was waited upon by a
Democratic Committee, the spokesman
of which drew from his coat pocket a
number of the identical documents con-
tanned in the package, and from his
hip pocket a revolver. The rightful
owner of the documents was then
"quietly but peremptorily informed
that if he obtained said package from
the post-office his life would be the
forfeit" The agent continues; "How

Facts and Figures for Northern Men to
Think About.

The Democratic party have control
of the legislative branch of this Gov
ernment, with all its enormous power
and privileges.
What is the Democratic party, and
what are it's aimsp
In the first place, it is controlled by,
and largely composed of persons lately
in arms against the Government. These
persons are not reconstructed and
honorable men who accept the results
of the war, but scheming, plotting,
dangerous persons, who proclaim their
continued adhesion to State sovereign
ty, defy the amendments to the Con-
stitution, and boldly trample upon the
laws.
The proportion which the so-called
Union Democratic sentiment of the
North bears to this Mexican element
will be seen by the relative strength of
the two classes in Congress.
The Senate has forty Democratic
members, twelve of whom are from
the North and twenty-eight from the
South.
The House has 155 Democratic men,
bers, fifty-tive from the North and 100
from the South. In both Houses the
-Confederates control every impor-
tant committee, and the whole legisla-
tive machinery of the country is there
fore in the hands of those not only dis
loyal to the Union, but full of hatred to
the North and her institutions.
We call particular attention to few
interesting facts regarding this dan
gerous predOminence of the unretined,
unprogressive and semi-barbaric ele-
ment of the South,in cur politics.
In the States having a majority of
Democratic members in Congress there
are 3, 722, 3SS persons who cannot read /;
in the States having a Republican ma
jority there are, of this class, but 697,-
238.
In the Democratic States above
named the wealth, according to the
last census, was $9,114, ,681, ,561; in the
Republican States S21, 1S9, 1925, 1851; and
this counts Ohio as Democratic, which,
of course, is unjust, as at the last cleo
ton she cast 10000 more Republican
than Democratic votes.
These Democratic States paid to the
Government in customs revenue last
year 81, ,4S7, ,094; the Republican States
paid $l16,212,8l6.
From 1866 to 1873 the Government
was compelled to collect from the peo-
pie over two thousand millions of dol
lars as internal revenue. OF this
amount the late rebel States paid a
trife over two hundred millions, while
the rest of the country paid over eiqh-
teen hundred millions.
The single State of Illinois paid Sl0,-
100000 more than the whole Confed-
eracy combined, while New York paid
nearly twice as much. Chicago Inter
Ocean.
