Senator Window, Republican Uni
ted States Senator, has Introduced a
bill for the purpose of removing the
colored people from the Southern
States and settling them in some free
territory to themselves, where they can
be organized into a State, and permit
ted to carry on their own local govern
ment precisely as any other State
The movement is based on the idea
that there is an ''irreprcssible conflict
between the white aud colored people,
and that their relation to each other
in the same State is mutually disadvan
tageous and that the blacks, being in
the minority and of less intelligence,
have not a fair opportunity to test the
ex experiment. of their freedom.
Utah has been named as the territory
to which they are to be carried, aud
that section is blessed with every sur.
rounding to make it a prosperous
country. The complications there ex-
isting because of poiysamy, it is
thought may be settled by passing
such vast majority of negroes there
that they will be enabled to vote them
selves ipto the control of the Local
government, and also wipe out the in

This movement is vastly different to

cation and affection, and was compelled

If the convention is to he zeulled

To take the Courier's announce

The wrong 40 ridden,

Mr.. Tilden was never the choice OF
the Hickman Courier for the Demo
cratic nomination for President Be
fore the Democratic National Con ven
ton made him the nominee, many
Democrats hereabouts eensured the
Courier for opposing his nomination.
But.-iI it be the fact, as nine-ten;hs Of
the Democrats Of the country claim,
and without exception in this section
that Mr.. Tilden was elected President
and wronged out Of his rightful elec
ton, Why is il that so many Democrats
join the Republicans in abusing Mr.
Tilden Whether it be truth or u
idsehood that the Republicans stole
The Presidency from him, it is nnue
the less natural that the Republican
party, as a party, should seek TO exeul-
pate themselves aud try 10 besmirch
the character Of Mr.. Tilden; but it is
beyond our comprehension why Dem
ocrats, who believe Mr.. Tilden to have
hcen honestly elected, should assist
them.
Il is certain Tilden did not get the
Office, and ye: the manifest effort Of
the Republicans, and I. good number
Of Democrats, IL Ito make IL appear
that Tilden, not Hayes, did the stead

True, great many Democrats blame
TiEden because he did not, like Iiauir-
ton. enforce his righteous claim to the
Office to which the people had elected
him5 but allowing that he is ceusur
able IN this, does it follow that Demo
Gratis, who believe no was honestly
elected, should assist The. Republicans
to saddle all the alleged corruptions on
his shoulders Besides, il may be
said with truth that, If man ever was
vndicated from charge, Mr. Tilden
was yindicated of all connection with
the SIT commission. Tie Democrats
in Congress forced it on him. While
he might have been able, like lamp
ton. to have fought the Republican
party, he could not be. expected to
light The Republicans when his own
party had forced him inio The EIccto>

Too Many Omcers.

te6 4, the County or Fulton.
We see it stated by some foreign
writer that every eighth man in the
United States is an Office holder, and
that the other seven are taxed to sup
port him. We think this an exagge
ration. but there IS unquestionably
some truth in the idea Our readers
will not consider the Courier dema-
gosueical in bringing these matters to
public attention so frequently. but we
earnestly believe that the great bane
of our country is ''toO many officers and
too many laws"
Our partiality is for the plainest and
simplest form of government possible,
and at the same time consistent with
the we'll being of the public, individu
ally snd collectively.
Think Of the idea that every eighth
man has to be an officer of some kind
to make US, the people, do right And
then think of the idea, that the entire
country is taxed to pay salary to
every eighth man Don t it seem that
we Gus htl to get governed cheaper
especially as we claim to be civilized,
law-abiding people? Are these many
officers necessary? If not necessary,

Besides, there are some not euumer
aied, such as special baiIiffs, collectors

we did not realize whenye commenced
this article, that the foreign writer's
estimate was not far wrong.
Are we not too much governed ?
Couldn't Fulton county be governed

the number of officers? Couldn't it be
so shaped that the public duties of
these manifold officers should be de-
volved upon fewer number. and
thereby make the pay better to the
officers, insure better ones, and more
economy to the people, and our country
be just as we'll governed?
