fortunately, after the hard fought strug-
gle was over in 1865, and the South was
ready to submit to any fate without
murmuring, the Rep bl c'n party in
stead of taking them by the hand and
evincing the friendship Of race and
country which they had all through the
war promised if they would come into
the Union, turned upon them with such
vindIctiyencss and hate as was never
shown to a people in history, ancient
or modern. No where in history is il
shown where conquered people were
subjected to be ruled by their previous
slaves, and these slaves of an entirely
different race, and of the most ignorant
and debased character. A Republican
contemporary says: "The South is solic
on one side of the political argument a
this time as much through the fault o
the Northern political majority a
through the fault or error of its owl
leaders,"
1t is easy to unders' and, when it i
considered that the Republican part
abolished slavery and defeated tn
South in the field, that Republicans ar
not highly esteemed in the Southern
States but all the hatred AMI ill-wil

doing this, but losing its actual hold
eventually 1t has never abandoned its
earliest method of making itself obnox-
ious to the South. Al this very day it Is
spreading broadcast over the North re-
ports of bloody political outrages COM
mitted, or alleged to be In this late
Louisiana election. The bloody shirt is
again waved to the tune Of two Repub-
licans hanged, another whipped and
stretched, and scores of others driven
from the parishes of Delta county. This
is the old story, Invented for use against
1880, and intended to so.idify the North.
1t is the keeping alive of the old bad
feelings OF the war, a mere political
trick full OF mischief to both North and
South, certain to injure the prosperity
of toe whole country while 1t lasts.
The other way to break up the solid
political South IL one that has been in
angurated by some shrewd Boston capi-
talists, and which II followed by the
cspita.ists Of other Northern towns
would "efore many years work apoliti-
cal revolution In the South. The Boston

and assisted by their Southern peiGhbors
In Georgia u similar experiment has
met with like results, as 1t may do ever,

der sent abroad by the non-partisan and
Republican papers of this city in regard
to the finances thereof is being extensive

the following in the Philadelphia Tele-
graph of last evening:
1.-The city OF Wilmington, Del, is in

for six months there will be no funds to
pay sala' les or maintain the schools

it is asserted that the members Of Coun-
Gil voting in favor of such a course would
render themselves liaole personally"
The papers opposed to the Democra>
that set the falsehoods afioat know they
are false and are injuling the credit OF
our city, but they do not contradic
them.
The city government has been in the
hands of the Republican party for n arl.
twenty years, AID all the time it had
been mourning debts until it run the liza
bilities from about four hundred thou
sand to twelve hundred thousand do

Then the tax-s will be due and payable
