The pith Of the matter can be given
in u few words. The indicted Radi-
Gals, conscious ofthcir guilt, dread The

anything to save their precious hides.
The machinery Of the United States
Courts has been set in motion TO
harass the Democrats of this State by
long list of trumpcd-up trials, upon
suborncd atlidavits. Hundreds of
innocent citizens have been threaten
cd with trial at the hands of biased
court and q carefully and deliberately
packed jury; and hundreds more have
been summoned to leave their crops
and dance attendance as witnesses.
Besides the unwarrantcd convictions
OF many victims, the State as threat
cncd with grave material loss, through
the embarrassment to business and the
unsc tiled state Of affairs, induced by
this wholesale drasonnadc.
If the State docs not intend to prose-
cute the white Radical rascals, il

Smalls and Cardozo were deeply dyed
villains Of the most insolcnt stripe, but
they were no worse than Chamberlain
who is practising his profession in

Carpenter and the rest who arc rusti-

Philadelphia Record
A colony of iutcr-marricd blacks and
whites is located about eight miles from
MiIville, in New Jersey. The place is
known as G0uIdtown, and was settled
about eighty years ago by John Could,
after whom the place was named. Now
it numbers about 500 inhabitants. These
are scattered, however, and the land oc-
cuped by them covers within an area of
about six miles. The dwellings are all
frame, some aspiring to architectural
style, while the majority are but slight
improvement upon the railroad tool
house. Two painted signs are visible,
one announcing the location of the post
Office and the other designating the
school-house.
The church is the most artistic build
ing in the place. and its pastor is the
ruler of the town. The women of Gould
town are white; and their husbands are
negroes. Men and women who are not
willing to comply with these conditions
can not live in the village with ease or
comfort, for the Gouldtowners will have
no one about but those in sympathy
with their notions. This was the re-
quest of its founder when he passed
away. And this request their descend
ants are determined to carry out. Gould's
intention in founding the place was to
develop his theory of the equality of the
negro in his right to marry into the
white race Gould was a colored man,
and before founding Gouldtown was in
love with young white girl.
This is supposed to have induced the
remarkable theory which he evolved.
Gould at the time of this love affair was
residing in Camden, where he married
the girl, and where he started to inau,
gurate his theory Of equality. He soon
signs upon females of the white color,
and when they were consummatcd Gould
and few Others, friendless and penni,
less, started to dig a livelihood out OF
South Jersey land. The place they
selected was indeed jersey Sahara
Whether they paid for the land is 10;
known. From time to time the settle
ment increased by the addition of negroes
who had taken unto themselves white
women as wives.
The offspring of these people were, Of
course, muIattoes, some of whom re
mained al Gouldlown and intermarried
and others sought matches elsewhere; Sc

This state of affairs passed on until to-day
the colony presents a mixed condition

town are very light in color, but there is
no difficulty in distinguishing the negro
blood in features of the lightest. The
men are mostly strong healthy y-looking
and the girls handsome. Their hail
