THE bloody shirt has been flung to
the breeze at the last moment in this
canvass. Republican orators now tell
the colored people that Democratic
success will throw them back into
slavery. This is a poor compliment
to the intelligence of the colored

them. The Avalanche ought to leo

EDITOR AvALANoHE:-I can congratu-
late you upon your return TO your old
correct position in politics again, the only
position in which an independent paper Is
to be tolerated in the South-that Of bat
ting for the supremacy ofthe Democratic
party. That party recognized our rights
Of property in our slaves, sympathized
with us in the late war, and has steadily
fought with us against any reconstruction
in which the negro was recognized, and
we of the South we're base ingrates indeed
il we were not devoted to its triumph.
The fact is, before we can expect the pros
perity Of the good old days before the war
in the South, we must have the same
homogenity of public sentiment. As re-
CARDS questions relating to the negro we
must have but one party, and that the
Democratic party, White men who dare
to avow themselves here rs Republicans
should be promptly branded as the bitter
and malignant enemies of the South. The
name of every Northern man who, like
Eaton and Bigelow, presume in this COM
munity TO aspire to office through ReDub-
lican votes should be saturated with stencil
We can spare all such, and would caution
such as these who think Of coming Soutb
TO keep away. You, Mr. Editor. must
hang out again your smallpox flag and
rid our community of such yerinin. You
may think mo little bold in using such
language upon the annivorsary Of our
fight from the yellow fever in 1879. The
North, 70 be sure, sent Us some money,

The Republicans are at their old
tricks again, just as might have been
expected. When Judge William N
Smith was nominated for Congress
everybody supposed that the canvass
between him and Casey Young would
be conducted in much more digni6ed
and becoming manner than any pre-
vious one had been by the Republican
candidate; and SO far as Judge Smith
is personally concerned, this expecta-
ton has been met. But it seems now
that in all this he had a purpose, for
W lille he has been meeting Col. Young
in digni6ed and decorouS debate
throughout the canvass in the
hope Of seducing few Democrats to
his support, his henchmen of inferior
degree have been quietly arranging to
put in operation their favOrite system
of tactics just upon the eve oi elee
ton. Meetings are now being held
every night in all parts of the city and
county, where the most inAammatory
speeches are made to the colored peo-
pie by Republican orators, white and
black, aud where nobody else is
allowed to speak. One Of these maet
ings was held at Beal street market
house last night, which was addressed
by VIM. Porter, Captain Brown and
General NJ. T. Williamson, United
States Marshal for this district.
The latter gentlemin, after honoring
Senator Harris and Casey Young with
a short and abusive review, proceeded
to inform his colored hearers that In
the event Of the Democrats acceedipe
to power they would be disfrauchised
and re enslaved. Judge Smith is not
likely to gain much in public estima'
tion by allowing his campaign con
Quoted by such means as this.

This forenoon, while excavatiug for
the foundation of new building on
South Court street, human bones were
round in the space on the south side
of the old wall and the Bethel build
ing. This space was about ten inches
wide. The bones were evidently those
of a man, and it seemed as if they
we're thrown into the space from an
upper window perhaps and covered up
with debris and dirt. The old Armour
building was erected some forty years
or more ago, and the Bethel building
since the war. The skeleton had
evidently lain there undisturbed for
upward Of ten years and perhaps more
than that. The skull was retained
and portion Of the remaining bones
were oarted away with the dirt.

EDITOR AVALANCHE The great.
est indignation prevails among all our
people here about an article signed
Southern Democrat" which appear.
ed in the Avalanche of yesterd ,y
morning, and to the sentiments of
which communication the Avalanche
made but feeble attempt to differ,
while it altogether failed to condemn.
The following are some of the infa-
nous expressions contained in the
article, which we're designed for effect
in the Northern States, as the feelings
Of the Solid South for use ia the
Presidential campaign, ,as coming from
a Southern Democrat: white men
who dare to avOw themselves as Re.
publicans should be promptly branded
as the bitter and malignant enemies of
the South, and the name of every
Northern man who presumes in this
community to aspire for Office through
Republican votes, should be saturated
with stencil. The North, to be sure,
sent US some money during the yellow
fever epidemic, but we scorn the i'm
putatiOn of begging, The North but
returned a little of the money it
stole from us during the war"
The above is one of fair sample
of the daily communications in the
Avalanche. This morning the County
Democratic Executive Committee
went to the editor and demanded the
name Of the author Of this vile, COW
ardly and malignant slander of Dem
ocrats here and everywhere else in the
South, but met with a positive re-
fusal. Mr.. Nichols, the chief editor,
said that the offensive article
was not written by Democrat, as the
signature purported, but By Repub-
lican, who designed it as a sarcasm on
the Democratic party, and that he
(NiCholS) would SO form an editorial
for his paper of tomorrow morning.
Republicans here have expressed pro
found indignation against the perpe-
traitor Of this outrage, and are ashamed
that their party contains such en-
unprilcipled follower.
