The Southern Situation.

When it was announced that General

it was understood that on his return
from the trial he would be qualified to
speak intelligently, as it was believed
he would candidly and impartially, of
the trial and of the condition of public
sentiment at the theater of the murder
and the trial. Though the Generals

A Counter Charge.

A Physician who was attending a
sick musician, during convalescence
suggested to the latter THAT it would
be agreeable to hear a little music
during his visit. The musician fell
in with the suggestion and frequent.
ly RECALLED the doctor with the con-
cords of sweet sounds. Time sped
rapidly away, and the day assigned
for the presentation of that little bill
for medical attendance, which a.
mounted to about 500. The bill
was presented, but the worthy ply
stefan was surprised and disguised
by the presentation Of the following
counter charges:
For playing oft in the Silly
Night, six variations, SIS: German
Waltz, one variation, 80; Yankee
Doodle, six variations, $40; Sweet
Home, three VIBRATIONS, SIS; Solo
Arkansas Traveller, six variations,
$40; Solo six burlesque variations on
Pop goes the Weasel; SIG; Sweet
Aileen; 50 cts; New Century Horn
pipe, 50 cts; Fishers Hornpipe, so
cts; German Waltz, with one variia-
ton, 50. Total 500.
The physician was forced to al.
low the charges, for why should a
physician havepay for his services,
and musician work for nothing!

sample of the whole we may take its
closing attempt to figure out that
the whole affair ''has it's origin in
the vexation Of a clique of German
bankers in St. Paul interested in
the deposits, which was aggravated
by their wrath against another
German banker, a Democrat In
reply to that, it is sufficient to say
that the first named bank only gets
it's share of the deposits (for
which it pays a high rate Of interest)
under Col. Pfender, which it will
continue to get under Mr.. Kittleson
or Mr.. anybody else, 50 long as it
wants them; and that the second
named banker being private
bank, and not State or national
institution, cannot, under the law,
get the deposits under Pfander,
Kittleson, or anybody else-and
probably does not want them.

Col. Pf6nder Requested to Become
an Independent Candidate For
State Treasurer.

The following request, signed by
over one thousand German Repnbli.
cans, in different parts Of the State,
has been presented to Col. Vim.
Pfander. The request was also pub
lished, with many Of the names at
tached, last week Tuesday in the St.
Paul Folks Zeitung, and subsequent
ly on4N ednesday copied into the Fl.
oneer Press, Globe and Dispatch:
ST.. Paul, Sept. 14th, 1879.
Hon. VIM. PFENDER-Dear Sir:
It is considered by the German Re-
publicans ofMinnesota, that it would
be unmanly and disgracefnl in them
not to resent in some public pointed
manner the insult received by you
as their representative, and by them
as a class from the Republican State
convention recently held in St. Paul.
You are aware, and all considerate
men in the State well know, that
no class of men have been truer to
Republican principles, or done more
for the success of the Republican
party in the State, in comparison to
their number, than the German
American citizens Of which you are
and have long been an honored rep
resentatiye. Notwithstanding this
the German Republicans as class
were utterly ignored by the late con-
vention OF the Republican party.
This class asked foryour nomination
of State Treasurer. Without any
notice to your friends that this
would involve any complications,
without requesting them to meet
the Republicans Of other nationali-
ties i'll caucus, to ascertain if such
complications, if any existed, could
be unravelled and settled amicably
to the satisfaction of all parties, the
convention ruthlessly and insulting
ly pursued course hostile in the
last degree to you and the class
which you represent and to honest
Republican principles, and thereby
drove your warmest friends from the
convention. The indignation caus-
ed by this act and by the corrupt
and disgraceful proceedings of the
convention, is not confined to the
German. Republicans, but is shared
by a very large number of Republic
cans of all nationalities and by hon.
est men outside of party. Under
these circumstances we consider
that it becomes us as men to take a
course that will show to friend and
foe alike, that we are not craven
dupes or towards who may be insult
ed with impunity, but class that
know our rights and dare maintain
them. We see no way of showing
our self.respect, and properly main
tanning our rights at this time, but
by the use of your name as an indie.
pendent candidate for State Treasur-
er. We therefore respectfully re-
quest you, for the reasons above
stated, to permit us to use your name
as an independent candidate for that
office in the approaching campaign.
The Colonel has been interviewed
by the reporters of the st. Paul dai.
lies but he has not yet signified what
course he would pursue in the prem.
Uses.

The Pioneer Press says that the
German Republicans in Minnesota
are so few in number that. they
should be satisfied with anything
the party is willing to give them.
The German Republicans Of Mime.
sofa never have demanded an office
as Germans They have always
gone before the conventions as Am.
erican citizens and presented their
candidates as such, and all they ask
when any Of their representatives
attend a convention is to be treated
like American citizens. They are
not Republicans for the sake of of.
flee, they are such by principle and
don't propose to be insulted because
they are of German descent.

Deadwood, D. T., was almost to-
tall y destroyed by fire last Thurs
day night. The fire passed over an
area Of twenty five acres, sweeping
down a total of about one hundred
and fifty business houses and seven
ty-fve residences, and entailing a
loss of 100000. The insurance
on the property destroyed probably
does not exceed 100000. Two
thousand families are reported
homeless. Work has already been
commenced to rebuild the city, and
lumber is being hauled by every
available team in the vicinity, and
the merchants have already placed
their orders for new goods. The
fire broke out in a bakery, and as a
high wind prevailed at the time
nothing could be done to stop the
devouring element.

1t lily becomes the Pioneer Press
to bolt Gilman's nomination and
then give other people "Hail Co.
lumbia" because they do not see fit
to step up and embrace the balance
Of the ticket. With the Pioneer
Press it is perfectly just and proper
to bolt Gilman, but let one word be
said against any of the other Repub-
lican candidates, or the method of
their nomination, and Joe Vince.
lock writes columns to show up the
enormity of the crime. It is an old
saying that ''what is good for the
goose is also good for The gander."
If it is justifiable to bolt Gilman it
is just as justifiable to bolt Pillsbury
or any of the other candidates on
the ticket. The Pioneer Press says
it repudiates the nomination of Gill
man for the reason that it believes
him to be ca corrupt legislator. :"
The Pioneer Press has perfect right
to have an opinion and to express it,
but have not other people the same
right? The German Republicans of
Minnesota believe that they were
grossly insulted by the late Repub-
llcan State convention in having a
man forced upon them who was not
their choice, and who had no in
tention Of becoming candidate for
Secretary Of State until he was be-
sought to do so by telegraph, by
"that German banker of St. Paul
a Democrat. This German Dem.
ocrat and Capt. a. A. Brown, who
last winter acted with the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate, were allowed by
the convention to dictate that ''Von
Baumbach" and not Pfaender should
be the representative on the ticket
Of the German Republicans; and he
was put through in defiant, insult
ing and fraudulent manner, against
the united and solemn protest of the
German delegates. The German
Republicans of Minnesota would be
towards if they did not resent the
insult, and now when they propose
to do so the Pioneer Press, which is
itself a bolter, howls that it will
hurt the party, and asserts that the
German Republicans have no rights
anyway which the balance of the
party is bound to respect.

THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS
st. Paul Dispatch, Sept. 9th, 1879.

The Dispatch does not approve OF
boiling, on general principles. But
the right of boiling is like the right
Of revolution, inherent in human
nature, and the question as to it's
exercise must be decided for himself,
by every individual citizen. If there
ever is an occasion when the exer.
else of<hat right is excusable, Ger.
tainly the nomination of candidate
by fraud and false pretenses is one
ofthose occasions, and the individ.
ual voter must be the one to Judge
as to the facts. Having honestly
considered those facts, and decided
that they justify such action, while
we may not agree with him in that
decision, and may censure him for
that action, we have no right to
abuse and misrepresent him.
The German Republicans of Min
nesota, in very large numbers, have
felt outraged by the manner in which
Col. Pfender was treated at the re-
cent State convention, and have ex.
pressed their sense of the outrage by
a request to the Colonel to run as
an independent candidate for State
Treasurer. We think that a con.
siderable part Of their Indignation is
entirely justifiable, but we think
they are misaprlying the remedy. If
Col. Pfenderis to 1un for any State
office, in retaliation for the bad
treatment he received in the con-
vention he should run for Cover
nor. His friends have no good
cause for complaint against Mr..
Kittleson. That gentleman through
out the campaign and in the con
vention was an open, fair, manly
and honorable opponent. He won
the nomination, SO far as we know
or believe, by fair means, and we
think Col. -Pfander's friends have
already conceded that fact. 1t was

ton voting against him. Mr.. Kit
tleson, it is true, received the bene-
fit Of this detection, but he has new.
er been accused Of using any improp.
er means to secure it. It had long
before been promised him, on other
grounds, aud he was as badly be.
trayed BY the subsequent pledges Of
Hennepin county to Pfander, as
Pfander was on the final vote.
This, we believe, is the generally
admitted status Of the case. And
we know that the feeling Of the
German Republicans is much more
intense against the parties who are
really responsible than against Mr..
tKittleson, who is not responsible
for the outrage. And yet in mani.
testing that feeling they unfortun.
ately strike at a comparatively inno.
cent victim. But even this does
not excuse the warfare Of yitupera-

showed how useless it was to prosecute

showed how useless it was to prosecute
the trial in the face Of the public opinion
which prevailed there.
But General Woodford has given to
the public, through this interview,
what he believes to be the pressing po-
itical and social need of the South, and
that is, such q division of the white vote
between the opposing parties as will
permit and secure practical federation,
by each and all, of the political opin-
ions of their neighbors- such division
as would protect full and free discus
sion, secure fair vote, and compel an
honest count. Such result, he be-
lieves, can be practically obtained only
by dividing the white vote, and such
division, he thinks, is only question of
time. 1t is mainly prevented to-day by
the politicians hope that united
South, aided by a divided North, will
secure the power, patronage and official
honors of a National Democratic Ad.
ministration. If this hope fails at the
lext Presidential election, this division
ofthe vote will certainly take place before
the occurrence of another Presidential
contest, the assurances of the Demo-
cratic leaders and the Southern press
to the contrary Notwithstanding AL
though these leaders and their press
may not surrender, their party will
crumble, and new combinations will be
formed. The whites will divide, and 80
will the blacks. Men who believe in
the Nation, in free schools, in tolera-
tien and progress, will be voting to-
gether, whites and blacks, while men
who cling to the old prejudices, and had
rather live in the graveyards of the
past than in the work fields of to-day,
will be counseling and voting together.
The General is confident that Repub-
lican victory in 1880 will be followed by
the defeat of the regular Democratic
State tickets in at least four of the old
slave States before 1884. We are near
or the end of this Solid South business
than most Republicans expect, or most
Democrats will admit. The one thing
needed is one more Republican VIC
tory under q wise, brave leader in
1880, and the Solid South is forever
broken. Wisconsin State Journal.
