long moustache and Jolly voice, such
as never dead man had; yet so great
was the panic that many of the negroes
tainted; great strapping corn-field ne
groes, men and women, actually tainted
from fright. Those who could COM
mand their muscles fed screaming from
the place, and, as we afterward found,
some of them ran till they fell ex-
hausted on the road, miles away from
home.
"But OF gave them a rattling good
time to make up for it. There was no

Jack and Lucinda were married, and
every negro within q circuit of ten
miles came to the wedding. OF de-
clared that if nobody else would dance
with his old nanny, he would do it
himself; and he dragged her-she was
rs stiff in the knees as pair of tongs
and as weak in the ankles as q month
old baby-out on the floor, and twirled
her around, and held her arms above
her head; and made her trip up and
down the floor, and bow her head and
twist her back, and hop backward and
forward, to the right and to the left,
while she begged and prayed and
laughed till her turban fell off, and we
were all fairly shouting, and the old
creature was too exhausted to remon-
s.rate or L." laugh any longer. All, ajolly

its becoming anything else, except by
counter-ruffianism. Some of the chief
rufians begin to perceive this. Even
the Okolond States says that 1--WE can
not afford to resort to intimidation and
Irregularities as regular thing in or
der to maintain our ascendency over
the enumerical superiority of the blacks"
It claims to have pleaded against vio-
lence and fraud as Irregular thing"
with " those who could not or would
not see the awful drift and tendency OF
their own counsels." And it gives
warning that violence and fraud |" may
become instruments in the hands Of our
adversary and bring unwhisperable
woes upon our people tomorrow" But
the party chieftains will not heed the
warning. They have issued the decree
that the methods of '75, '76, and '78
must be pursued indefinitely. II the
decree is .obeyed, the .. unwhisperable
woes' will be experienced in due time,

ism and q certain number of assassina-
tions; and if all these fail, certain
number of tissue ballots in the five
States named serve to nullify the Elect
oral votes of the two great States, Ohio
and Indiana, or the great State of New
York! Hence the groveling attitude of
the Northern Democratic press on the
subject Of Southern outrages against
the rights of free opinion, free speech
and free ballots. Northern Democratic
journals and speakers stand between
two fires. If they insist upon fair cleo
tons at the South, they lose five States
held in the Democratic Electoral col
umn by bulldozing; if they wink at
bulldozing, they shock and drive from
the party standard thousands of respect
able Northern Democrats. In this
view of the case,-and this is the only,
view which commends itself to the
spirit of candor,-every Democratic
Leader OF opinion at the North is .acces-
sorry to all the outrages committed at
the South with the corrupt purpose of
retaining power in the hands of the
minority. Thus the Democratic party
North is implicated in the assassination
of Dixon. His blood is upon its skirts.
It is in the position of q man who wit
nesses brutal murder, but neither lifts
his hand to stay the arm OF the assassin
nor his voice to protest against the
atrocious deed. Respectable Democrats
of the North, how do you like this as
sassinationa Can you afford to sustain
q party which seeks political power by
assassination? Can you, as members of
peace-and-orde loving Northern COM
munities, consent longer to be made
parties to a conspiracy which grasps
after National power through the main
tenance of an armed despotism in sis
ter communities of the South q Can you

Greenback SOphistries.

1t is the opinion of Mr.. Solon Chase,
of Maine, that the country ought to
have more money. Not in unlimited
quantity, for Mr.. Chase, unlike many
Greenback statesmen, does not believe
that if legal tender bills were as plenty
as sand on the sea-shore, or leaves in
the forest, they would still have value.
His idea is that the general average Of
prices is twenty-five per cent. lower
than it was in 1860, and that this ought
to be remedied, in the interest of the
debtor class, and can be remedied only
by an additional issue of ]egal-tender
notes. 1t does not seem to him that
this would be reputation; it would only
restore property to what he considers
its normal value. That he may be mis-
taken as to what is the normal and
proper value of property does not seem
to him possible, nor has he ever con-
sidered, apparently, that the normal
and proper value of property of many
kinds has greatly changed since 1860;
in consequence of inventions, which
have cheapened the production OF many
articles; in consequence of the cultiva-
ton of new lands and the reduction in
the cost of transportation, which have
reduced the sum necessary to repay the
farmer for the production OF each bushel
of wheat or corn; or in consequence of
the great changes in price which have
occurred in other countries.
Like many enthusiasts, Mr.. Chase is
careless as to his facts. The average
of prices has at no time been reduced,
since 1861, to point twenty-five per
cent. below the average of 1860, year
Of great prosperity. The lowest level
was reached about October 1, 1873,
when the average was about $S5.
against 800 in 1860, q decline OF
fifteen per cent. But an advance in
average prices began in 1878, and has
continued all this year, witt, little in
Permission. The level was hardly ten
per cent. lower than that OF 1860 in
January last, and there is not single
economist of repute, probably, who
will contend that the average of prices
now is more than six or seven per cent.
below that of 1870. This is certain. al
least; that the most elaborate tables oi
prices, embracing several hundred arti-
oles, show that the decrease has no,

Never before have doctrines SO fatal,

boldly asserted as those proclaimed by
the Confederate dictators at the late
extra session of Congress. If these
doctrines prevsi1; If it be true that the
Nation has no Representatives, and can

Through succession of crimes un-
paralleled in the annals of political
atrocity, this demon has already sub
verted the great principal of majority
rule, by subjecting the two Houses of
Congress to the usurped control of
bodies other than those which should
rule by constitutional right. A dozen
Senators and q score of Representatives
hold seats therein against the viii of
. majority of their several constituencies.
Efrontery has not the .hardihood to
deny the crimes and frauds upon the
elections under color of which they
have obtruded into their seats. Only
Senator Thurman palliates them on the
grounds that the elective franchise
should be restricted to wealth and in
telligence. If these intruders had
usurped their seats by the military
force at Washington. the crime would
have fired the Nation and enkindied
revolution. What difference is it
whether the usurpation be at the source
or at the seat of power, whether the
usurpers bear certificates of title Sc
cured by armed force against the will
oftheir constituents, or employ that force
without color or title at the doors Of the
CapitolP .''5.tl3H s"S
Shall this usurpationg perpetuate it

hind them is greater than they. Will
they enforce more righteous rule in
the C Congressional electlonsp No. The
crime that subjugated these States will
perpetuate their subJugation. and
through it perpetuate the usurpation
on the government of the Nation.
To this the National election laws
are the only impediment. Shall nulli-

A Lake Running Away.

Savannah (Ga.) News
Reports Of the sinking condition
of the Ochtahacllee lake induced a
party from Valdost:! to go out there
a few days since, for the purpose of
catching some of the fish before the
water was all gone. By l o'clock
at night two thousand trout, Dream
and speckled perch had been caught.
The Valdosta Times says that if the
recent rains do not stop the under
flow of the lake in IA few days more,
the fish and water will be down into
a small compass, and then it will be
hard to pull out all the fish one haul
Of the seine will take in. tt has
known thousands TO be caught there
before in one haul, and trout weigh
ing sixteen pounds in the lot. Och
tahachee is a curiosity, and those
who have not seen it in it's sunken
condition ought to avail themselves
Of this opportunity. This is the
first time it has run off in five years.
