Tense OF HIs Race.


kt1chOQck s AetC orleans LOltfSfdnidH.
We do not wish to be understood as
endorsing all that Mr.. Mcclure says in
regard to the Federal service in the
South. There are good men in Federal
civil service in every Southern State.
But we do say INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gOgues, who have used the patronage to
cOrruptly control no less INSCRIPTIONS
colOred politicians, have had a majority
of Federal offices. and they have been a
fruitful source of demoralization and
evil.
If Mr.. Mcclure will add to this fact as
companion picture the additional
fact that nine-tenths of the Southern
white leadership of the colOred people
in the past we're largely of the same
class and character, and were governed
in all their cOlored constituents by the
same purposes and motives, he may
begin to measure the torrent of evil that
surged around and finally engulfed the
hopeless, inexperienced and of an half
letteTed coloTed leader; and may also
possibly find his criticisms unnecessa.
rily harsh, even if 1t be conceded that
they are just
For a colored man to place himself in
opposition to the bands of plunderers
who assumed to govern in the name of
the colored people was not only to rele-
gate himself to private life, but actually
to incur great danger of bodily harm
from paid emissaries of the villains. We
speak by the card, for we have been
there. and know whereof we affirm; and
we tell Mr.. Mcclure he has no sort of
conception of the difficulties that envi-
roned the colored leader of the South 1;
and with all his culture, experience and
lofty patriotism, had he been in the place
of any one of them he would not have
accomplished more. Superior inteili-
gence" got the game and left the poor
negro the bag and the blame.

Serious View Of a Festive Occasion,

A few evenings ago, in this city. q
sumptuous entertainment was given In
honor of Mr.. Dorsey, recently United
States Senator from Arkansas The num-
Der of guests was large, and the cost of
the feast is said 10 have been not less
than five thousand dollars. Gen. Grant.
Gen. Chester A. Arthur, and many men
of distinction houored the occasion with
their presence and approval.
The reason for this marked demon
stration of regard for Senator Dorsey
was clearly avowed, and many times re-
peated, by the speakers in the course of
the evening. 1t was because he had
carried the State of Indiana for the Re
publicans.
How had he done it2
The way was so broadly hinted at that
it might as well have been emblaZoned
before the world. II Scas 6y the Idpish
use Of money
In other words, Mr.. Dorsey had
bought political victory in a State
where his political opponents, unless
purchases had been made from their
ranks, would certainly have been in the
majority.
OF all the intelligent gentlemen who
sat down at that luxurious dinner, and
applauded the guest of the evening to
the echo for expending so much money
in carrying Indiana, was there single
one so unsophisticated as to believe that
all or most of that money had been ex-
pended legally, or in any other way
than the purchase of votes? II be-
lieve, said leading Republican, now
and long conspicuous in our National
Legislature, where other logic will not
reach voter, in the use of ten-dolIar
bill" And the cream of the Republican
party honOred with princely entertain
ment the lavish ex-senator Dorsey for
multiplying the logic of ten-dollar bills
so many times in the State of Indiana.
The presiding Justice of the Supreme
Court in the first department deemed it
MT place for him to be. Imagine some
poor wretch who has sold his vote for
paltry sum convicted before this same
Judge when he is holding the Oyer and
Terminer With what righteous indig-
nation, with what fervid eloquence,
would he lecture the impecunious pris-
oner upon the turpitude of his fault;
with what seeming satisfaction would
he impose upon him the full penalty Of
the lawl
And yet when the tempter, who car.
ried Indiana with money, is to receive
an ovation for doing on larger scale the
work that Satan did in Eden, this Judge
appears, his face wreathed with approx
ing smiles, and he fills himself with the
viands and the wine bestowed in honor
Of the vote buyer.

them open their eyes and seei

Ohio Revelations.

A CLEVELAND special says: "Gen. Gar
field knows that Conkling has kept his
hold in New Yolk during four years of the
Hayes administration only by holding
out to his adherens the hope of four fat
years under Garfel1 after the four lean
ones under Hayes If this hope should
vanish into air it migat happen that the
Conkling people of ths past lnight gather
around new dispenser of patronage.
Garfield does not mean 10 make the mis-.
take of thinking that it was Grant and
not Garfield who was nominated at CHI
cago. Mr.. Blaine will be ihe Secretary
of State, while Mr.. Shernan may be
Secretary of the Treasury; and Governor
Foster may be Postmaster General,
certain. Neither Emory Storls. Chaun.
cey Filley, Dorsey, Edwards Pierepont,
nor Routt, of Colorado, will be in the
Cabinet. Grant and Conkling have deter
mined to be unfriendly. Garfield says this
may be because they foresee that he
will be candidate again in 1884, and
they want to prevent 1t. When the
Cabinet names are sent to the Senate to
be confirmed, you will discover they ara
such that neither General Grant nor
Conkling can justly be offended at Gar,
fields selection, and, il they do take
offense, they are likely to set themselves
against the opinion of the party, and il
will be worse for them. As to 1884,
Garfield's friends believe il will take
care of itself, and they are not scared al
the threats of Grant running as an Inde
pendent or Democratic candidate. II
the Republic Convention in 1884 should
nominate Grant or Conkling, he would
have the cordial and loyal support OF
Garfield; but it is too early to talk IN.
telligently about such changes, and Gen.
eral Grant would do wisely to tell some
of his over.zealous hangers-on not tC
shoot off their mouths so freely. That
is the sentiment of the Garfield people in
these parts. +"

Affairs at Transvaal grew more and

Union Telegraph Company, has sued that
corporation to prevent the issue of $23, ,00O,-

stock of the American Union and Atlantic

The plaintiff alleges that the amount
of money to be paid for the

is excessive, as it could be reproduced for
less than the purchase money. He obtained
a temporary Injunction. and argument be-
gan to- day on q motion to make the injunc-
tion permanent. At its conclusion, Judge
Sedgwick modified the Injunction SO as to
allow the stockholders of the Western Union
to hold meeting called for to-day, but re-
served his decision on the other points.

A PERILoUs SLEIGH RIDE-OE THE
Ice IN FoG.-Charles Applegate and
Courts Thompson, of Red Bank, New
Jersey, with several ladies, while pro-
ceeding across the Shrewsbury river in a
sleigh Sunday night, got lost in the dense
fog and were unable to make the oppo-
site shore. An attempt to return was
fruitless, the fog being so thick that the
village lights could not be discerned.
After wandering about the river for sew
eral hours the horses stopped and refused
to move One of the party then went
ahead and discovered that just in front
of them was a large space of open water.
The instinct of the horses saved the lives
of the five occupants of the sleigh. The
fog lifting soon after, landing was
made at Oceanic. One of the ladies
tainted and was carried ashore uncon-
scious.
