BLACK LIST.

We have number of poor and honest
delinquents, who owe US considerable.
They are trying to pay, and we are trying
to accommodate them by waiting until
they can pay; but there are thirty or for
ty others who owe US from ten to twenty
dollars each, that do not intend to pay.
They have lied to US and our own agents,
and make no effort to cancel their bills.
We propose to put them into the 'sblack
list" The world ought to know that
class of men who live by lying and cheat
ing, that they can be avoided.
No. His name is S. II. Wade. He
originated 1--WE are sorry for it) in this
county somewhere, went down country
and studied medicine, and was fortunate
enough to marry respectable girl from
Evansville. He finally drifted off to Phil
adelphia, ordering his paper to be sent
there. We expected from his respecta-
BILE connections that he would pay his
bills, but he did not, and finally fatty re-
fused to pay the sum due us. We advise
all parties to steer clear of DR.. CD S. H
Wade of Philadelphia. He is confirmed

Miles, the Barre bank robber, several
months since matured plot to secure
his release from the state-prison at Wind
sor, by bribing one of the guards named
Dudley, with promise of $1,000. In
arranging the details Miles devised pc
culiar system of written communication
with his friends outside, which consisted
in writing a letter with common ink as
was customary and, then writing be-
tween the lines with urine, which when
dry failed to show any traces even when
submitted by the prison directors to the
closet scrutiny under microscope, but
by placing the letter before warm fire
his friends were enabled to read the char
acters easily. The plot was overheard
by one of the keepers, and Dudley was
| watched. Miles escape was prevented
and Dudley was promptly discharged.
| Miles, who has served 5. years of the IA
| for which he was sentenced, now awaits
another chance to make good his escape.
It is believed he has any amount of mon
ey at his command, although in his petit
| ton for pardon he swears he is not worth
| dollar.

his strength, and swear on the altar of
his country and his God that this [repub-
lican success shall not be, let the conse-
quences be what they may. The poor,
miserable, unprincipled white man who
tries to restore the radical party to power
in South Carolina should be socially os-
TRACKED, and not even spoken to on the
streets. He should be treated as an enc
my to his race Hosts humdni generis.
The colored man should be told that his
leaders are making tools of him only to
crafty their pitiable ambition, and have
a chance of stealing his hard earnings
He should be told, too, that if he will vote
to place rogues and scoundrels in Office
and power, no honorable democrat win
employ him in any way. This should be
resolved on and adhered to throughout
the State-social ostracism for the white
man, and no employment for the colored
man.
The Aiken Journal and Review re-
marks:
The negroes are forming all over the
country. 1t then behooves the democrats
to go to work at once and forestall the
plans of the radicals. The first thing to
be done is to reorganize the red-shirt
mounted clubs. Let every meeting, DEM
ocratic or radical, be fully attended by
them.
The Greenville Neaos deprecates nail
ing anybody's ears to the pump:
We do not advocate the use of the shot
gun or the bull-whip. We do advocate
full use of such means as we can use law
fully. We mean that the white-skinned
man who joins with the corrupt remains
of the party of corruption in this State
should be social leper-shunned, despis-
ed, and hated. We mean that the white
skinned man or negro who deliberately
enters the fight for a radical State ticket
will do so with the understanding that he
will hereafter receive no favo1s or recog
milton from white men. Let them under
stand that there will be no employment
for them where it is possible to avoid it
that there will be no credit given them
that from them the last farthing will b.
relentlessly exacted; that the kindness 0
masters will cease.
A late despatch to the Columbia Reg
lister was as follows:
The radicals are in session, nominatin:
delegates to the State Convention. Their
was a slim turnout. The stores are clos
ed, and the democrats will attend.
Later.-The meeting was captured b
the democrats. Colonel Gotham, an
Wallingford, an elector on the greenbac
ticket of Indiana, made speeches, and tn
RAIDS dispersed.

THE REBEL WAR CLAIMS.

Gen. Hancock has written letter on
the subject of war claims in reply to
letter from Theodore Cook, of Cincin-
natl. He says:
81 regret that you are disturbed about
that bugbear. Southern war claims"
The people cannot be misled by it. To
suppose that 'rebel claims" or claims
in the interest of persons who were in
the rebellion. can, in any way or in any
degree, be countenanced, is an imputa-
tion of disloyalty such as used to be
made against democrats even when they
were in arms defending the country. So
far as it touches me denounce it. The
government can never pay debt or
grant pension or reward of any sort
for waging war upon its own existence,
nor could | be induced to approve or en-
courage the payment of such debt. pen
sion or reward. Nobody expects or
wants such unnatural action. To pro-
pose it would be an insult to the intel
ligence and honor of our people. When
the rebellion was crushed the heresy of
secession, in every form and in every in
cident, went down forever.
1t is thing of the dead past; we
move forward, not backward. If |
were President | would veto all legisla
ton which might come before me pro-
viding for the consideration or payment
of claims of any kind. for losses or dam
ages by persons who were in rebellion,
whether pardoned or not. In relation
to Union war claims" the governments
obligations to its defenders come first;
they are lasting and sacred. The pub
lie laws of civilized nations do not, in
general, recognize claims for injuries to
property resulting from the operations
of war. Nevertheless our government
has treated with great indulgence the
claims for losses and damages suffered
by Union men from the military opera
tions of the war for the Union but as
the hostilities of the war were closed
more than fifteen years ago, claims of
that nature, now mostly in the hands of
bankers, or persons other than the origi-
nal sufferers. are becoming stale; and
in my judgment might be fairly consid-
cred as barred by the lapse of time. and
if hereafter entertained at all should
be subjected to the strictest scrunity.
Yours very truly,
WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The republicans lacked only about
700 votes of carrying Delaware in the
late election.
The democrats are in trouble because
every now and then some enthusiastic
el-democrat carries Confederate
flag in political procession, This mis-
fortune has not yet occurred in re-
publican procession.
In the spring of 1878 when door
keeper was to be chosen for the House
of Representatives, the brave Gen.
Shields, an Irish democrat, was voted
for by the republicans, but was defeated
by the confederate Gen. Field, the vote
standing l0l. all republicans, except
one, for Shields; 1913, all democrats.
for Field. Gen. Butler, then repub-
lican, made the following remarks in
supporting Shields: The difference be-
tween the two candidates is the differ
ence between loyalty to the government,
on the part of Shields. and treason TO
the flag on the part of Field. General
Shields was the only Union general
that ever in single contest defeated
Stonewall jackson.
In the Connecticut town elections
held on Monday last, sc towns were
carried by the Republicans, Sc by the
democrats, and fifteen divided. This is
a large republican gain. and shows
which way the tide of sentiment is
setting.
Elections will be held in Ohio, Indi
ana, and West Virginia tomorrow. The
fight in Ohio and Indiana is extremely
sharp, with prospect that the former
will be carried by the republicans and
the latter by the democrats.
Georgia's election, held on the 9th o
October. resulted in the reelection O
Governor Co!quitt, the more liberal O
the two democratic candidates. His ma
jority is 10000, and he must have beer
supported by many republicans. which
is fact of some Importance. This i
the first great voting incident that fairl,
shows that the solidity of the Soutl
cannot permanently be maintained.

THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE.

The Vermont Legislature convened at
Montpelier, on Wednesday. Oct. 6. The
Senate was called to order by Lieut.-Gov.
Cotton. after prayer and the calling of
the roll, G. G. BrOwnell Jr.. for some
years assistant secretary. was chosen
secretary, Frank A. Dwinell assistant
secretary. Rev. Edwin Wheelock of
Cambridge was elected chaplain. The
House was promptly organized by the
election RIGA uOce of John l.. Martin
speaker, Henry L. Newell clerk. These
officers held the same position in 1878.
Rev. S. B. Currier of MOretown was
elected chaplain. The two Houses hav-
ing been organized, the usual routine
business followed. The early introduce
tion of important bills shows that the
session will be fruitful of attempted
legislation, at least.
From the Termont WatchmGn we
gather the following interesting facts:
"The Senate is composed of thirty Re-
publicans. Messrs. Dillingham; and
Dwinell, of Washington county, were
members in 1878, and are the only
gentlemen who have been members of
the senate before. Twenty-Five have
been members of the House and eight
are new members. The oldest Senator
is the Hon. Orel Cook, and the young
est is the Hon. Emmett R. Pember, both
of Rutland county. Seventeen reside in
the town where they were born. Of the
thirty senators 2S were born in Yer
mont, in New Hampshire, and ! il
Canada. BY occupation i are farmers
s lawyers, 3 manufacturers, 3 merchants
2 bankers, farmer and lumberman,
farmer and quarryman, and physician
The House Of Representatives consists
of 239 members, of which 2l7 are re
publicans, 10 are democrats, green
hacker and independent. Three towns
Wolcott, Corinth and Duxbury, are no
represented. Nineteen representative
were members of the House in the las

Curious SuperstitiOns,

According to Yorkshire notion newborn
infant should be laid first in the arms ola mai
den before any one touches it; and in some
places the infants right hand is left unwashed
in order that he may gather riches. tits, too,
considered very important by many that an
infant should go up in the world before he goes
down. Tins in Cleveland, says Mr.. Hender-
son, eff a child should be born in the top story
of house, tor want of a flight OF stairs one Of
the gossips will take it in her arms and mount
a table. chair. or chest of drawers before she
carries it down stairs.
In the north of England, when an infant for
the first time goes out of the house, it is presen-
ted with an egg some salt, little loaf OF bread,
and occasionally with a small piece of money
these gifts being supposed to insure that the
child shall never stand in need ofthe common
necessaries of life In the east riding of York
shire few matches are added to light the
child to heaven. 1t was, too, in former times
customary, and the practiceis not yet obsolete,
of providing large cheese and cake, and cut
ting them at the birth of child These were
called the "Groaning cake and cheese" and
were distributed among all the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the pep
per cake" and in some localities the 'sicken-
ing cake" 1t is the source of species of di-
yination, for, being cut into small pieces by the
medical man, it is divided among the unmar-
ried of the female sex, under the name of
edreaming bread" Each one takes a piece,
places it on the foot of the left stocking, and
throws it over the right shoulder This being
done they must retire to bed backward, with
out uttering a word, and those who are lucky
enough to fall asleep before midnight are ia
vored with sight of their future husband In
