"a NEGRO DEMOCRATIC EvANeE
LIST" is the glowing heading to g
long article in yesterdays Republican
That paper has evidently been alarm
ed. Where there is $50 much smoke
there is sure to be some fire." We are
not in the secrets of the Republican
party. But it is no new thing for q
Democratic negro to come here from
the South.
One or two negro men have made
their appearance in this city previous
to every recent election seeking funds
and proposing to 60 among the colored
people and interest them ON the Dem
ocratic side. But the Democrats have
always looked upon these men with a
feeling of dread. They have been de-
ceived by the tricks of the Old Enemy
to free speech so long that they were
not to be caught with chaff. Now,
there hes arrived here another negro
who claims to be Democrat and pro-
poses, so the Republican and the Ne,os
say to call meetings of his own color
and speak to them as he has done in
other States and form them into DEM
ocratic clubs; arguing with them and
showing them that the only way for
them to secure the respect of their en-
ployers is 10 join them in promoting
the local interests in all sections of the
State-tha. what is for the interest of
the white farmer is for the interest of
the negro farmer. What is for the in
terest of the white employer is for the
interest of the negro employer-what
is for the interest of the white laborer
is for the interest of the negro laborer;
&c, &c. And as Delaware is the
cheapest governed State and the best
governed State in The Union of course
it must be governed better by the
Democrats, and more economically,
than other States. Such is what we
infer from the articles in the Republi-
can and Netos. Personally we know
nothing of this "Negro Democra tie
Evangelist" never having seen or
heard him speak. But if ever secret
band of conspirators or gang Of
"counterfeiters" were frightened, the
Radicals who led the negroes to New
Castle last spring to have their names
put on the assessment lists are. Al
least we SO judge from the wailing criei
they are making in their newspapers
Well, it is too bad. rssfellows, we
pity them. But they have deceived
the negroes at every election and W,
should not wonder if the negroes nov
make them put one of their race on th
ticket or vote as they pleased in No
vember.

Unpleasant Custom of Morocco

The late Sultan of Morocco was one
day rowing oc a lake with the ladies OF
his harem. The boat upset and two men
at the peril of their lives saved the whole
party. "To have seen his majesty in
such an undignified position, and more
over with his ladies'" writes Captain
Colville, "was,a.crime punishable only by
death. The unfortunate men were walled
up in a small room and left to starve or
die of sufiocation. Their skeletons were
found while some repairs were being
made in the palace on the present Sultan's
accession"

Over-sanguine Republicans who are
predicting that their party will gain a
United States Senator in Florida, are
pertinently reminded that the legislative
districts there are so divided that even
should the Republicans elect their State
ticket by large majority, they could
not secure the Legislature. In the
present Legislature the Democrats have
majority of thirty-two on joint ballot,
yet the vote on the State ticket In the
same election was so close that the re-
suit had to be decided by the courts.

whites who threaten to beat or kill him
for voting as he pleases.
Such thing as Democratic negro
political meeting was never heard of in
Delaware, while all the negro churches
and school houses are used for Republi-
can negro meetings. The Democrats
don't ask for negro votes but they
don't like to stand by and witness the
hypocritlcal cant of the Republicans
about free suffrage, when they know at
the same time they would have the
negroes killed if they took the liberty
to vote as free man for Democrat.

The Massachusetts Legislature has
heretofore divided the city of Boston
into two close Congressional districts,
with the notion that the Republicans,
by strong efforts, could carry both.
The result has been that in each district
there has always been vast amount OF

elections, which it is now proposed tc
remedy by making one district thorough
ly republican, the other thoroughly

SATURDAY, August I4th, 1880,

A DEMOCRATIC NEGRO in Delaware
has been as much of rdra ayis as
"white blackbird." This is perhaps
not from choice; for so tenacious
has been the Republican party of
its claim to all negro voters that
none dared to differ. 1t was as
much as a negro's life was worth to do
so in either of the counties of the State.
80 much were the negroes under COW
of the black and white Republican
roughs that they have never dared to
utter word on politics in Delaware
except to Republicans, Nor have the
Democrats ever sought to speak about
voting the Democratic ticket to a negro.
1t was not safe to do so-it is not safe
TO do SO now. The U. S. Statutes are
framed with a special view to deter
Democrats from holding any communi-
cation with negroes for the purpose of
securing their votes. Hence there has
scarcely been vote cast in Delaware
for the Democratic ticket by negro
unless it was done secretly. No negro
dared to vote for a Democrat. If he
did so it was understood that he would
be driven out of the State or murdered.
1t was with this knowledge that the
GAZETTE few months ago said that
this State Of things should be broken
up-that as the negro was to become
permanent voter in Delaware-that if
suffrage was TO be continued universal,
without such checks as are held in the
New England States, then the negro
must be permitted TO vote as he pleased,
without the fear of being beaten to
death by his own race. The more
vicious of the negroes are prompted to
make threats and to put them in opera
tion, too, against offenders of their own
race, by white Republican leaders. In
this State no negro dares to vote the
Democratic ticket 1t is because of
this that the Republican has claimed to
have majority of voters in Delaware
notwithstanding the Democrats carry
every county in the State at each recur.
ring election. The laws recognize no.
body as voter who docs not vote. The
negro has never been allowed place OIL
Republican ticket in Delaware
although that party is half made up O
negroes. That is not the case in tht
Democratic States in the South. TIL,
negroes there are given fair show 70
the offices on the ticket. In Delawar
no negro is allowed by the Republican
to vote the Democratic ticket, nor d
the Republicans allow him a place o.
their ticket. They swear they will xii
him, or have him killed if he votes wit
the Democrats; and thus they hold hin
as in a political vice-a mere chatte
voter-as much of slave politically a
ever he was. Is this fair? Is 1t honest
Is it "brotherly?" Is it giving a ma
equality No, it is political serfdom
the worst sort. The negroes feel it, an
on every recurring election they hay
sought to get rid of their politics
masters but every year there are mo-
promises mingled with more threat
Now, we believe the Democrats shou
protect any negro who makes known /
wish to vote the Democratic tickt
The laws are ample for this purpos
Let such negro 60 before any Justice

From Judge Polands Report. Feb. Is, lS7s
-Garfelds Testimony Pe,Jured.
| The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield, al
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames TO take ten shares
of Credit Mobiiier stock. but did not pay
for the same. Mr.. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
sold them for ninety seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-
dend, which together with the price of
the stock and interest, left a balance OF
$3.50. This sum was paid over to Mr.. Car
field by check on the Sergeant-at- Arms,
and Mr.. Garfield then understood this
sum wds the balance Of dividends after pay
ing for the stock.
From the Neto Fork Times. FEB. 10, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in the Credit Mobilier affair Is com.
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions OF testimony.
From The Ne,o York Times. Feb. 20, 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobilier was
no secret. The source OF its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought 1t. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded In concealing his own motive,
which was TO bribe Congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not on that
account innocent. The dishonor OF the
act, as a participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some of them have indulged in tssti-
mony With reference to the matter which
has been contradicted. The committee
distinctly rejects he testimony Of several Of
the members. This can only be done on ne
ground that il is untrue. But untrue teat-
n.ony 0iuen under oath Is morally, u not
legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Oakes Ames.
From The Nsi0 York Tribune, FEB. 10, 1873
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten
shares never paid dollar: received $3.50,
which, after the investigation began, he
was anxious to have considered as a loan
from MIR. Oakes Ames to himself.
Well, the wick edness OF all OF II is that
these men betrayed The trust of the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and fasehoods confessed the
transaction TO be disgraceful.
