MATCH BONDS.

The first nlatch-bond case was ON again

trict Court, the four defendants having been
reduced to one, III the person of Tracy D.
Hull. William 4. James, the Speaker of the
last House, John Middleton, l.. II. Millard,
and John II. Platt, Of Highland Park, gave
the defendant the benefit of the usual testi-
mony as to character. W. B. Keep, one Of
Fridays acquitted, testified that, as far as he
knew, Hull had nothing to do with the get
ting up of the bond, or any con-
nection with the case whatever. Gen. Leake
sought to get out just what the witness did
know about the various matters in contro-
versy, but the Court ruled out the inquiry, on
the ground that 1t was not legitimate cross
examination. W. W. Boyington, c, B. Far
well, and E. 4. Otis further assisted in Civ
ing Hull good character. ": S. Elliott,
another Of the acquitted. denied that he had
ever paid Joyce any money from Hull, and,

Ben Butler says the reason why he
left the Republican party was because
that party would not do as be thought it
oush. to in regard to protecting the col.
ored people OF the South in their rights
Of citizenship. And yet the Republican
party gave the negro his freedom and
the ballot. Ben has joined the Demo-
cratic party on that issue. yet gives no
logical or sensible reason for doing 80.
How can hs7 The Democratic solid
S~outhernsrs are all that stand in the way
and prevent the colored American citi-
zen from enjoying the very freedom and
iullnsss Of citizenship which Butler pre-
tends to demand for him. Under Dem
ocrs,io rule the negro would still be Q
slsvs. The only hope for the prosperity
OF the colorsd people lies with the Re
publican party. and Butler knows 1t well
enough. His excuse for going over to
the Democracy on that proposition II too
thin. altogether. 1t 10 merely an excuse
to get his spoon into some other ely
political mess. all Of which will be dsvel'
oped In due time. Ben Butler Is shrewd.
although not enough to get away with
the Massachusetts, aovsrnorship.

1876. For two days Blaine and the hepub-
lican leaders conceded Plaisied's election

disastrous to the Republicans. but a. in
the Presidential election Of four years
ago, the Nrws saw no cause to give up
the ship merely upon the first reports
from the principal towns and cities most
accessible to Democratic influence and
manipulation. It Is the country towns
and remote precincts outside OF Demo-

decide the anal result. And whatever

On the Gath OF October, 1876, Mr..
Tilden. as q Presidential candidate.
found II q political necessity to make
this public announcement: "Should /

loss or Emancipation OF any slave will
be allowed; no claim for any loss or
damage incurred by disloyal persons
arising from the late war. whether COW

cotton tar will not be refunded. I shall
deem 1t my duty to veto every bill pro-
viding for the assumption or payment Of
any such debts. losses. damages, claims.
or for the reiundins Of any such tax"
General Hancock thinks the constitu-
tional amendments o sufficient obstacle
to the payment OF claims. Still those
amendments were there when Mr.. Til
den wrote his letter.
