to stop this sort of thing at the
South? 1t has gone on long enough.
Apparently, Southern citizens are abb
solutely incapable of understanding
that Northern Indignation, in such
cases, is entirely irrespective of the
opinions or the color of the victim.
The North believes in real freedom.
Moreover, it may as well be said that
the North means to have real free
dom prevail, at all elections in every
part of this country at which the
course Of our common Government is
in any degree affected. In plain
terms, that is the right Of every law
abiding citizen-not only to have a
free vote himself, but to be overcome
only by the votes of others.
This has become a large question.
By methods essentially like those en-
plOyed against an Independent Con-
federate in Yazoo county, Mississippi
the South has been made solid. The
people of the North do not believe
that the free will of that section has
been expressed in any recent election.
They believe that one-third of the
electoral votes in this country, one
third of the seats in Congress, and
more than onethird of the States, are
controlled by a law-defying mobocra-
cy, the most Infamous kind of gov
ernment known among men. 1t
seems to the people of the North high
time that those who refuse to govern
themselves with decency, fairness and
respect for law, should cease to have
any hand in governing the United
United States.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-08-21

the first aim of Southern politics, for
no difficulty of situation would justify
the rest OF the country in conniving
at general disregard of vital consti-
tutional principles and guarantees,
which is the present policy of the
Southern whites under Democratic
auspices. Our correspondent proposes
there shall be a different voting popu-
lation, and insists that if this is "a
nation with big N" it shall pass a
national election law prohibiting vot-
ing except to those who can read and
write. Here there would be question,
but he can have another voting popu-
lation without such law, and with
out any question whatever. Any
State may require an educational quail
ification for voters. Why, then, do
not he and his friends urge such
qualification in his State? It would
reduce its Congressional representa-
ton. Undoubtedly it would but is
not such reduction better than an
archy? The whites control many of
the Southern States. They complain
of the ignorant black vote But the
legal remedy is III their own hands.
Why do they not use it? For two
reasons: they know that it would
greatly reduce the white vote as well
as the colored, and they prefer to sup
press the colored vote, and still count
it with the white in the basis Of repre-
sentation, and to accuse citizens else
where who expose and denounce the
iniquity as cherishing sectional hate
Really our Southern brethren have
learned our courage, and they ought
now to credit us With some common
sense. There is not the slightest vim
dictive feeling in this part of the
country toward Southerners, whatever
the fervor of platform rhetoric may
be. But the only way to good un-
derstanding and to the disappearance
OF the bloody shirt is plain proof that
Southerners seek to remedy their un-
doubted difficulties by just, legal, and
means. At present the
Democratic plan is to obtain complete
control of the national government
by fraudulent and forcible suppress
sion Of the colored vote wherever nee
essary. This is the overthrow of
popular government and sheer usurpa-
ton, and it is this that the Republi-
can party unitedly opposes.

One of the BlOtches OH Our Civilization

One of the BlOtches on Our Civilization.
While on the street the other day
we saw man crippled in both limbs,
so that he was compelled to shuttle
laboriously along on his knees. He
carried an accordeon, and occasionally
stopped to peer at the upper and lower
windows of a house, thus seeking an
audience for his music. Aside from
his distorted feet, he appeared in excel
lent health, and the dexterity with
which he fingered the keys of his in
strument showed no lack of manual
vigor.
He was accompanied by a woman
apparently thirty years old, robust,
active person, who assisted him in
crossing the street, and carried tin
cup, which we inferred was to receive
the contributions Of soft-hearted peo-
pie who might express their pity for
the cripple III pecunluy way. While
we contemplated the two, however,
the abject appeals of the man and the
listless expectancy of the woman
elected no responses of copper or
nickel from the passing multitude or
OLI NHlIOWS.
after we had turned away there was
dropping of coins into the tin cup,
but we heard it not, and our refec-
tions ran somewhat after this manner:
There is a man who could be useful
in many ways he has health, strong
hands; in some sedentary occupation
he could by industry earn a comforta-
bic livelihood and be independent.
There is woman in whose appear
ance we can find nothing to excuse
her mendicancy. Were she willing to
earn her bread by honest labor, she
could easily find the opportunity. In
deed, she could earn enough to keep
herself and her crippled companion in
state much better than that which
is dependent upon begging" We no.
ticed that the complexion and features
of the two mendicants were of the
type which is best illustrated by the
Italian, and we were reminded by that
fact that some of our acquaintance
who WELD the crayon and splash the
canvas, would probably find some very
artistic elements in the faces and atti-
tudes Of the beggars. But somehow
or other we could not dwell upon their
esthetics. To our mental view, the
practically vicious side of their con-
duct persisted in occupying the fore
ground. We saw them as two indo-
lent loiterers in the highway of civil
ization, stolidly, abjectly, soliciting
the public to give them money that
they might live without labor, without
sense of responsibility. With evident
capabilities for usefulness, they were
more than wasting their best years.
1t could not be that this truth did not
press upon their recognition from time
to time but in their pitiful Incidence,
or slavery to the habits of beggary, it
failed to arouse more than temporary
thrill Of self-condemnation. The next
moment they had settled again into
the old channel of thought, heedful
only of the needs of the present, and
planning how to supply them without
rendering aught of compensation.
How many such wretches we jostle
against on the busy thoroughfares!
Who will show them how to live?
WHO will show them any good?"

Our Candidate for Senator.

The West Union correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial thus speaks
Of J. X. Pollard, the Republican nom
NEE for Senator IN tins Senatorial
District:
THE nomination Of Capt John Kill
by Pollard, the present popular Shel-
if of Adams county, as the Republican
candidate for State Senator in this Dis
trict, gives universal satisfaction here.
Mr.. Pollard is yet a young man.
Born and reared ON farm, by patient,
steady, preserving industry he owned
at his majority nice body of good
land in Sprigg township, every foot of
which had come "by the sweat of his
brow
Early in the rebellion he volunteered
as private, and served throughout it,
being in many warm engagements.
For soldier-like conduct, prompt atten-
ton to duty, and distinguished bravery,
he was successfully promoted until at
the close of the war he was a Captain.
In 1875 he was nominated by the
Republicans for Sheriff, and though
the county had been prior to this time,
from 400 to 500 Democratic, he was
elected by 103 majority over a gentle
man who had made an acceptable Sher-
iff for one term. Aliens majority was
3O6, a changein Mr.. Pollard's favor of
400 votes.
The fact is that in this county he
runs like Charley Foster did in his old
Congressional District, and in October,
as Foster will go in with hop, skip
and jump, SO will Pollark sweep this
District.
More than a dozen Democrats in
our corporation say openly that they
will vote for him. He is a man of the
people, is one who understands and
obeys their wishes, is one who is not
too naughty too learned, too cOnceited,
not too rich to mingle freeley with
them; is a man who looks at their
hearts and manly qualities rather than
their appearance; is man who is ever
ready to accommodate them; is a man
who will get their votes.

Hazing will soon be among the
things that were. Six cadets have
just been expelled from West Point
for this offense; and the authorities
of Princeton College, taking Time by
the forelock, have notified the parents
or guardians of every member Of the
Sophomore Glass that any student
found guilty of hazing will be ex-
PEELED at once. Hazing is both an
unmanly and an illegal practice, and
it is good omen that two of the fore
most educational institutions in the
country have determined to break it
up Examiner and Chronicle.
