Only Nineteen Years Ago.

st. Louis Republican: If States
rights were Satan himself, with
hoofs and horns in fighting shape,
the Republicans of to-day could
not hate them more bitterly or at
tack them more fiercely. The Re-
publicans of nineteen years ago
evidently did not know what they
were about when they put this
plank In the platform of the con-
vention which nominated Abraham
Lincoln:
"Resolved that the maintenance
inviolate of the rights of the States,
and especially the right of each
State to order and control it's own
domestic institutions according to
it's own judgement exclusively, is
essential to chat balance of power
on which the perfection and endur-
ance of cur political fabric depends;
and we denounce the lawless Inva-
sion by armed force of the soil OF
any State or Territory, no matter
under what preteXt, as among the
| gravest of crimes"
Nothing as bad as this has been
charged against the Confederate
Brigadiers." What was the con
centrated essence of Republican
"loyalty" in 1860, is Democratic
treason in 1879.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-06-12
The Ohio Democratic Ticket.

Washington Special to the Louis
vile Courier journal:
Secretary Sherman says that the
days work is the best piece of pc
litical maneuvering the Ohio Dem
ocrats have done in twenty years.
He further says the contest will be
the hardest ever conducted in the
State. Ewing says, tonight, that
he thinks the Greenback candidate
will withdraw in his favor.
Cincinnati Enquirer of Yesterday
editorial:
Such a ticket will command the
support of all the sincere and intel
ligent friends of currency reform in
Ohio, of all who have on eye single
to the success of this great cause of
the people. That the ticket was SO
harmonioqsly selected from among
several most excellent names argues
we'll for the Democratic success in
October. Indeed, we regard the
ticket as invinclble. If there were
respondent Democrats IN Ohio two
weeks ago, there are none now.
Either name on the ticket could
alone carry the State-Ewing, with
the shining talents, and an apostle
in a good cause, or Rice, who is
not only soldier, but the benefac-
tor of soldiers in the passage of his
Arrears Of Pensions Bill. Together
they cannot fail Of victory.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-06-12

Courier-Journal: Mount Etna,
in Sicily, and old Vesuvius, near
Naples, are suffering from a regular
attack of black vomlt. Etna is de-
veloping more alarming symptoms
than Vesuvius. Its central peak
stands 1000 feet high, and the
area of it's peaks and ridges is
eighty-seven miles il. circumference.
Its base Is clothed with timber and
vineyards and smiling villages,
whose people look up the grim
slopes, between acts, with singular
complacency. There is imminent
danger now. The lava is flowing
in slow, heavy, glowing, steaming
masses through forests and villages.
The town of Catania is threatened,
as in 1869, with destruction. In
that year the inhabitants built a
stone wall sixty feet high to defend
the town from the oncoming lava.
1t rolled on, rose to the top of the
wall, and poured over like cascade,
partly destroying the town. There
have been about seventy eruptions
of Etna within the memory of man,
the first dating back to the tenth
century before Christ. In 1852,
and 1868, and 1872, and 1875, there
were quite formidable quakings and
lava expectorations The present
uneasiness of the old mountains
portends much destruction. Vesu
vius is an inferior volcano. Its
most deadly work has been done in
the past, and may be seen in the
exhumed streets and houses of
Pompeii and Herculaneum. Its
possibilities, however, are enormous,
and it may soon overwhelm It's vic
image with ruin. These periodical
eruptions do not deter people from
living beneath the shadows of the
treacherous mountains. The soil is
so enriched by the disintegrated
lava that vineyards and gardens are
very profitable.

THE KANSAS FEVER.
Kentucky and Tennessee Negroes
the Principal Victims at
Present.

A Topeka (Kan. dispatch to
the New Orleans Times says:
The exodus is increasing some
what. the negroes coming chiefly
from Kentucky and Tennessee
The committee is receiving some
funds and materials, and a new i'm
petus has been given to the move
ment by the agents working in the
South, who return here with 100,
or 200 negroes. They are hurry
ing to bring them up cheap while
boating lasts. To-day twenty-sev
en- families arrived, with twelve
workingmen out of eighty persons.
The bedding and clothing of the
negroes were horribly filthy Tho
severe trip, the bad weather and
the water had produced dysentery,
pneumonia and measles. On deco
ration day large cayalcade of ref
ugees were transferred in wagons
from the cars to the fair grounds
to parade, in order to show what
the association is doing. The eff
feet was a mixed feeling, chiefly of
opposition.
Some young men from st. Louis,
who were inducing the negroes to
return South, were badly beaten al
Wyandotte City, Tuesday night, by
agents of the aid society.
