HICKoRYvILLE, n. c., Aug. 90, 1880.
Hon. Marshall Je,Oeu, Chairman Com
mjtteG:
DEAR SIR am gentleman of col
or, aged 40, healthy, active, sober, and
well acquainted with this part of the
country.
| wish employment of steady sort
during the remainder of this campaign,
and beg leave herewith to lay before
you brief sketch of myself and of my
qualifications.
Ever since the war, I have been per-
ambulative-peripatetic in my habits
of life. may say have peripateticked
for living.
Not to conceal too closely my real oc-
cupation beneath the bushes of ingen-
uous shame, l will frankly confess to
you that l am tramp.
| But there are higher potentialities i'm
me. / can be made an instrument of
political wrath. lam big thing i'm the
line l have taken up, and only want
first-class bacsing.to make me great
national success.
feel that the hand of Fate has spec
tally selected me to perform your work
in this section. ! think you will take
the same view of the matter when you
hear my little casualty record.
In 1868 | was telescoped i'm railroad
collision; being at the time concealed in
the truck-frame of a baggage-car. In
'69 | was castigated by local vigilance
committee for indIscretions in the hem
roost line. 20 WAS an oTf.year for me;
but in III 1 was caught in landslide up
in the Blue Ridge, and i'm '12 was mas
ticated freely by bulldog.
Then another season of calm sent in;
but IA and IS were lively brace of
twelvemonths for me. had the small
poX, six free-fights, took part in gun
powder explosion. fell down a shaft, and
rolled into bonfire under the influence
of the cup which cheers and inebriates
all the same.
Since then, my years have been
principally devoted to trying to heal
up: but with very mild quality of
success.
To put it clearly before the eye of the
discerning imagination, am the worst
cut-up man in the U. S. l have all my
four limbs; but have none of my orig
inal beauty. l am cut and SCARED
criss-cross over every inch of my epi-
dermis.
From this statement you will readily
see that am a Walking Outrage; and
l propose to utilize my afl,iction in be-
half of the party with the largest APP
preparation.
notice that the Democrats are do
ing little in the retaliatorv outrage
line; so must ask you to decide at once
upon my offer.
For posing as plain, untrimmed out
rage, l shall want 500 a pop. For tear
ing open my wounds and OoZiDg fresh, !
% per cent. additional.
engage to give local color to any
outrage, in any part of the State, on
days notice.
An early answer will oblige
Yours truly,

Mr.. Baham White, of South Carolina
an ''inoffensive, peacable, colored
man." was recently "brutally assaulted
on account of his political opinions and
badly cut and BEATEN" but he was a
Democrat and doesn't count. AT Mont

American citizen, but as Mr.. Thomas

thrill of gladness ran through the Re-
publican writers and they Set to work
to prepare screeds expressing exulta-
ton that in the midst of the brutal and
bulldozing South there was at least one
Federal official found to protect the
poor colored man; but when they came
to examine the subject more closely
and discovered that Mr.. Prince Smith
was Republican and George WASH
ington was Democrat, and the court
whose protecting arm was invoked
was State tribunal, the articles were
filed for future reference in the waste
basket. Then there were four cases re-
ported in the Florida Key of the Gulf
of negroes attacked and wounded for
their political opinions. but here again
their political opinions were Democrat

The New York Herald says: A
number of Connecticut Democrats
were at Democratic ileadeuarters~ I'd
New York tie other evening, and of
course the topic of general conversation
was the action of the State convention
in nominatinfig ex-Gov. James E. En-
glish for the Governorship. Ex-State
Senator James Gallagher, of New Ha-
ven, gave it as his opinion that the
nomination of Gov. English would re-
suit in the same way as his candidacy
in 1867, when he carried the State by
10000 in the face of Republican ma
jority of 1000 at the preceding election.
Senator Gallagher said that the people
of Connecticut were thoroughly arous-
ed, and he felt certain there would be
an unprecedentedly large majority of
votes cast for the Democracy.

The new election law provides for
four judges Of election at each precinct
and two ballot boxes. Two of these
judges are counting judges, while the
other two receive the ballots as hereto
fore in elections. At the end of one
hour after the polls open in the morn
ing the judges that receive the ballots
from the voters change boxes with the
counting judges who proceed to count
the vote cast. for the previous hour.
By this mode of counting the vote is
cast up each hour in the uay. The re-
suit of no counting will be announced
to the public until after the polls are
closed in the evening. No person can
vote out of his own townships.

worth anything the prospects of a

is political revolution going on in Illi-
