consolidation securities, recognized
by the Bond Commission, and those
which have been found valid by the
Court Of Claims, and those which

interest, and to the interest on the
Deficiency bonds and stock, amount-

no reason why the interest on

shall not be promptly and regularly

debt enhances the value of the deb,
which is acknowledged by nll parties.

North are pretending to believe that
the colored man does not under any
circumstances, vote the Democratic
ticket, they seem to forget the sad
lesson the negro has learned from his
experience with the carpet-hagger
and with the freedman's bank swindle.
In order to make him turn thorough
ly Republican, the negro was told
that his loyalty, so called, If carried
out pessistently md certainly, would
lentitle him to forty acres and q mule.
This promise indamed the simple
mind of the freedman, and he was
loyal for year or Two to an extent
that surprised even the carpet-bag-
gers and led the stalMarts to believe
that his devotion wou.A be eternal.
But the negro was sgindled. BE
was cheated on every hand. Agents
Of the freedman's bureauS walked off
with with his small earnings, and
loyal peddlers of patent pills came
around for the purpose Of scnoping
ing up his money. Not content with
this, the loyalists Of the North Invent
ed q trap for catching the small
change of the colored man, and right
we'll it succeeded. Tie freedman fell
an easy prey to loyal rapacity. They
aockcd to the branch offices of the
bank and deposited their sums with
a confidence that was child-like and
bland, considering the fact that it
was the deliberate purpose of the
managers OF the start to swindle the
negroes. And they did swindle
them. They swindled ttem from the
beginning TO the end, and when the
rotten concern got ready to fail, the
funds of the. Southern negroes, were

and the more than inefficient commits

freshing. TO be brief nearly every
honest and thrifty negro in the South
was swindled and robbed by these
dishonest Republican conspirators
and yet the most of them, even the
thieves themselves, pretended to the
last to be the friends Of the colored
people.
With all these plain facts in sight,

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL
TOWARD MEN.
For nearly nineteen centuries
Christmas day has been held ppito
mankind as the one especiai time
when good will should prevail, and
peace brood over the earth. The
martyrs chanted IL. The monks
preached it. The pulpit Of the press
is filled this day with those who talk
Of it and write of it. And with rea,
son. Religion apart, no nobler life
than that of Him of Nazareth, in It's
power, its sorrow and it's unselfish-
ness, has been given to mankind as
o warning and an example. A warn
ing that there is oftentimes most
strength in SEEMING weakEsss, md
an example that infinite might itself
can oftentlmes best accomplish its
wise purpose by submission to inferi-
or forces. ss
There was in Hin, Of Nazareth no
eagerness 70 exercise the omnipotence
with which He was endowed. Man
IN appearance, perfect man, his
methods were human. His were. the
annoyances and vexations OF ordina-
ry childhood. His we're the hard
ships Of the poor in early manhood.
The divinity that was His sharpened
the keen edge of the winters blast,
and quickened the pangs, of hunger.
Throughout His precious life it was
His part to teach what no. man had
taught, and to suffer as no man had
suffered.
Had He said but the word, His
Father, which is in HeavenN would
have given him ten legiens of ANGELS.
It was His mission I. chow that holy
living and holy dying are more po-
tent than the irresistible influence
Which compels an acquicscence which
is far from being consent. A wish of
the Father or the Son would have
changed the whole world; but the
world then would have been saved
in spite of itself. The angeNe
were made perfect, and Lucifer and
his. hosts are lost. For them there
is no uprising. Man was created in
the Lords own image, and he fell.
For him there is q higher life than
that of Eden, but life that he must
