SCANDALoUs VITUPERATIoN AND
ABUsE.-THE CITY COUNCIL ACCUSED
OF CoNsPIRACY.-Ihat the readers OF
the GAZETTE may see how utterly de-
void of ali truth and consistency and just
ice the Republican is, we make coplous
extracts from its leading editorial, yes
terday.
THE COUNCIL ACCUSED OF CON
sPIRACr.
The Republican says:
"Had they been anxious to arrive at
the truth in the matter they would have
gladly accepted of every offer made by
which the frauds could be disclosed and
punished. Instead of this, however,
we fluid the Democrats in Council crush
il q out the very means by which fraud
could have been laid bare and by whicl
fragrant wrongs could be righted. Thi;
action is but apparently link in TIN
chain which binds together this grea
conspiracy to triumph by fraud ever
though the people are outraged"
1t will be remembered that the lie
publican had repeatedly said it had sex
posed and laid bare" Lhe frauds it ha
been talking about. Now it accuse
Council of "crushing out the very mean
by which frauds could be laid bare"
The GAZETTE is not leader; but
did say two weeks before the electio
that the Democrats would have froi
300 to 500 majority, and never hear
that any of the "leaders Of the part
saw that defeat stared them in the face
yet Republican now says such was Il
case. Read its falsehoods

how could that be true when t

by the Republicans. 1t was not til,

Again it says:
"Copscientious Democl attic Inspectors
notified of the plan beforehand SO that
they might assist in carrying out the
plan adopted, resigned their positions,
aud others were elected who had no
conscience and who did their fraudulent
dirty work to perfection"
Where were the conscientious Repub-
lican Inspectors, that they did not de-
tect those frauds. There was Repub-
lican Judge at each poll and at some OF
the polls there was an Inspector and
Judge also. Why did they not expose
these frauds if they were as numerous
as stated? In fact the Republican has
manufactured its charges of fraud, as
the election returns prove it to be false
In its assertions. Its party did not ex-
pect TO carry the election.
1t has said over and over again that
there were from six hundred TO seven
hundred illegal Demccl attic votes polled
But yesterday 1t modified its falsehood
some two hundred, as follows;
"We have said over and over that .
least five hundred Illegal Democratic
votes were cast at that election"
A sliding scale for its falsehood is very
convenient.
Not satisfied with its scurrlity, and
its yituperaton Of the Democrats in tht
City Council, the Mayor and the polict
and constables, it descends to abuse Of
the Justice of the Peace, as follows;
"These constables were arrested fer I
refusal to do their duty, and though thu
proof was positive in at least two in
stances where they refused to arrest re
peaters after they were pointed out AM
when they were within a few feet o
them, and making no effort to get awaS
a Democratic Squire dismissed the case
and commended the officers for thei
, diligence"
In fact it is only necessary TO oppos
the Radical faction TO call down upo
! one the denunciations Of that veal

nOMPROMLSE.

The telegraph announces that on
Saturday last, in the Senate at Nash
Vile. the bill to compromise the
bonded debt of Tennessee, as amend
ed and passed by the House, came
up for final action, and was passed
by the Senate. 1t is also said, "The
Governor will no doubt sign the bill"
As passed the bill tenders to the
holders of Tennessee bonds a com
promise at so cents on the dollar in
bonds bearing four per cent inter-
est. It provides that the PROPOSE
ton must first be submitted to the
creditors for their approval, and
then to the people for their ratifca-
ton. The. passage of this bill is
looked upon as a very disastrous de-
feat to the reputation element in
the legislature. 1t is said the Savage
man from the mountains and his CO,
adiutors take their defeat very un-
gracefully, and indeed were much
inclined to rave over the rejection
of their 334 OF nothing plan. But SO
it is, the Legislators at Nashville,
as they gained information in regard
to the State debt and the facts in
regard to its creation, began at once
to adopt The views SO uniformly
held by the press of the State and
by most of her well informed citi.

the foolish idea that the debt is
fraud and the bond-holders set of
rogues, and have at last. like men,
by q majority in both Houses, ten

osition.
We sincerely hope the holders of
our bonds will see it to se to their
interest TO accept this proposition.
If they do, then the much abused
41st General Assembly will deserve
the lasting gratitude of the people
of the whole State. But whether
compromise is effected under this
law or not, we have, by its passage,
escaped a fearful peril-in this;

LBTEMPERATE TEMPERANCE.

LNTEAZPERAIE IE.MIDERAAClE.
1t is not our disposition or purpose
to criticise the motives of the earn
est temperance reformera who are
working to remove the curse OF
drunkenness from our peeplo. Our
heart is fully with them for success.
But occasionally it is difficult to re-
frain from Directing to and CRITICS
ing the methods Of the ultra reform
ers. We honestly entertain the opin'
ion that a few fanatics in the tenn
perance ranks are doing more than
any other class to hinder their own
purposes. The taxpayers are eager
advocates Of temperance reform, so
are all the professions, so are the
women of the land, 80 are all the
childreu-so are all the facts. With
such alliances it is not needful that
reform be pleaded for in Disregard
of the rights of liquor dealers, mol
that it be pleaded for with misrep
resentation Of facts. The liquor
dealers have rights of which they
cannot be permanently deprived by
the oppressive legislation and con
ditions now demanded by some Of
the oyerzealous and Incorporate re-
formers. Such legis station. if enact
ed, would react against the men and
cause who are its advocates. These
thoughts were suggested by the pc
rusal of very able and brilliant
article, written by Prof. H. Lincoln,
D. D.. of Massachusetts, on The
Depreciation of Public Nor atty"
As an answer to the charge that the
American people are increasing in
the depravity Of drunkenness. so
freely and frequently made, We copy
this extract:
"Sixty years ago we were in danger of
becoming a nation of drunkards. The
decanter On the open sideboard invited
to indulgence, and the wine-glass was
common at the tables of the best citi-
zens. Liberal supplies of wine were
needed at ordinations, and stronger Ii
quors at funerals, and College Presi-
dents dared not to Withhold wine at their
annual levees. Ministers of highest po-
sition were unsteady of limb and tongue
in the pulpit, and drunkenness was the
common sin for discipline in the
churches. There is room enough for
improvement in the sale and use of Ii
quors, but he is wilfully blind who does
not recognize the vast strides in social
morality IN the line of temperance re-
form"

THE DISASTER At 8zEGEDZN.


The disaster at Szegedin, Hungary
was not exaggerated by the first tele
graphic accounts. On the contrary the
facts were very much undsrstated. i
appears certain that by means of the
flood more than three thousand lives
were lost, and very nearly ten thousand
houses destroyed, the larger part of them
belonging to the poorer classes. Tween
ty-tive thousand people have already
been removed from the city to Other

4 WICKED HOAx

Upon our first page we copy from the
st. Louis Times an account of the suffer
ings of the negro emigrants from Mis-
sissippi, duped to that point by schem-
ing men. As wicked hoax as has been
perpetrated upon any people in the pres
ent generation, is the one which is now
inducing thousands of poOr negroes
along the valley of the Mississippi to
leave their homes for Kansas in the be-
lief that they have only to get there,
when the government will provide them
with lands and money. Deluded by
this story, evidently started by parties
interested in the transportation business,
thousands of these ignorant people have
sold their little all and are trying to
reach the supposed Gland of promise. ="
A southern exchange says that one day
last week over 900 negroes were waiting
at one landing in Louisiana, for the boat
to take them to St. Louis. All along the
river they sit and wait, with their
household traps around them, waving
their hats by day, and building fires by
night to attract the passing boats. The
planters too, are in trouble. infatuated
by the craze which has taken possession
of them, in some parishes the negroes
refuse to be employed for the season al
double the usual rates, and now at the
time when labor begins to be in urgent
request, it is impossible to begin opera
tions, for want of help In the mean
time st. Louis is oVer-run with a pOpu
lation of paupers, without means of sup
port, who cannot be made to believe
that he is the victim of a wicked fraud,
The st. Louis GEo6e-DemOerat, in refer
ence to the matter, says:
" The negro mind South, and particu
larly in Mississippi and Louisiana, is
crazed with the fever Of emigration tc
Kansas. 1t is worse than the LeadVille
excitement Outrageously absurd as il
is, the children of Africa down there
with an ignorance as dark as their skins
have somehow got it IN their heads thai
if they come up to st. Louis they will
be transported free of charge to the ter
tile plains of Kansas, and when there
the government will provide them with
land, several hundred dollars, a mule
and plough. All they have to do is tc
rake up enough dollars to pay their way
to st. Louis, and it only costs them "a q
head to come here from Vicksburg
Nine-tenths Of them arrive here without
a cent in their pockets, but in the limo
cence of there hearts they inquire their
way to the railway ticket offices and
cody ask for pass"
The Mayor of st. Louis issues his
proclamation tSrbidding the steamers to
land persons ''known to be paupers, y
under the penalty of the law, to which
the owners reply that they transport
those only who are able to pay the regu'
lar fare, and that being done, they ''haVe
no business to enquire further"
