IF THERE is citizen of the United

dlately inquire into the circumstances.
If he is guilty Of offense against English
law by any crime committed where the
British have jurisdiction, all we should
claim should be that he be given a fair
trial At regular court term. II guilty he
would have to suffer. But under no
circumstances should an American citi
zen be allowed TO remain in prison for
an indefinite period without the British
nation being made TO answer for It's

OUR correspondent "Vigilante''
suggests that 'tthe same influence
that favors the importation Of laborerE
from China, is that which brought the
slaves to America, and may YET, il
unchecked, bring men from Africa
and New Guinea"
If ''history repeats itself" why
should not this occurf What is to
hinder the present Republican party
from bringing men from Africa if they
are llowed to bring the heathen from
China4 Actually nothing. The
fathers OF the men forming thas party
in New England brought the negro
slaves from Africa in spite of the ef-
forts of the people of Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia and the Carollnas.
And when they became valuable .old
them south for large sums of money.
But it became necessary for that party
to destroy slavery IN order to get the
votes of the slaves to keep it in power
and it did destroy slavery and endeav-
ored to get the negroes to leave their
homes and come north to compete with
white men here.
But we ask why il history repeats
itself should that party not favor
bringing men from Africa as we'll as
China2 1t holds and directs the
movements of the Army and the Navy
and controls all the money of the
country, aAd has never been faithful
to its promises in its platforms. But
it is sure to do what it pleases after
the election. And if it elects the next
House OF Representatives and the
next President, having already the
Senate, why should it not declare in
favor of immigration for the African
negro and give him a vote as well as

From the Morning News, to-day.

N--S 4NOm bO-udys
Governor Hall, at the instigation of
delegation of Democratic ward
politicians who were anxious abont
the tendency of the Irish vote in the
November election, and without the
sanction of the Attorney General of
the State, has interrupted the course
OF justice as decreed by the court and
secured to Harrigan immunity from
the legal consequences OF his foul
crime until after November at least.
We stated before seeing the above
that the Neaos' editors are paid by party
money to get up falsehoods and slau..
der Democrats. But we did not sup
pose these falsehoods would appear 80
rapidly. 1t is we'll known that the
neighbors where Harrigan lived, who
had been witnesses against him at his
trial petitioned the Governor for his
respite. Among these citizens were
men who were opposed to the Demo-
Gratis, and notably We may mention
Esquire John G. Jackson, who had
furnished the GAZETTE, over his own
signature, with an account of The
affair. Esquire jackson is a man Of
great intelligence and accuracy. was
an Old Line Whig, and was voted for
by the Republicans for Congress in
1878. 1t is true that the Governor
had year before the crime was COM
mitted appointed him Justice of the
Peace for the Hundred in which the
murder occurred but this would not
have made John G. jackson commit n
wrong to aid the Democratic party

tween his conscience and his God.
And every good citizen will agree that
it is better to err on the side of bu.

direction when it gives the doubt to

why He Was a Demoerat.

The young man was asked why be
was a Democrat, and the familiar an
Swer came-s'My grandfather was
Democrat, my father was a Democrat
and l am Democrat" He lived in
Delaware, and SO far as his answer
showed respect for his ancestors it
was commendable, but as a sound
reason it was not creditable to him.
And still what other true reason
can conscientious young man give
to that question: His grandfather
might have bsen able TO give good
reason for being a Democrat, but if
he is young man, it would puzzle
MS father to give any better reason
than the one he gives.
The above form the leading para
graphs Of the Morning NeOs, a paper
that boasts Of its circulation on the
Peninsula, where the great mass of in.
telhgent white men are Democrats,
the Republican party of Delaware
being made up of about 5000
white voters and 5000 negro voters.
The article is slanderous and abusive.
and is characteristic of the political
education of The conductors of the
paper. the whole object Of which is to
destroy the majority of the white
voters and turn the control of the
State over to the party controlling the
negro population. That Democrats
should allow such paper to convey
such stuff as that into their families
is not in the least commendable. 1t
is 80 false In every particular that no
man who reflects for moment will
hesitate to pronounce the article a
bare faced fabrication, made in the
face OF the fact that the Demo.
cratic party has received such strength
from white men from the ranks of
ts opponents as to overcome with
ease the accession of the five thousand
negro votes that the bayonet and ignor-
ance, not intelligence, gave to the ene-
my. Thisis fact. No haudsomer nor
nobler attitude was ever taken by a
party than the stand which the Demo-
cratic party of Delaware took In 1872
that it would not ask the vote of the
negro, or receive one at their nomina-
tion elections. 1t had always relied
on the intelligence of the while race
for support, and unless it was sup>
ported by that race it would go down
rather than allow the ignorant negro,
forced to the ballot by bayonets to
undo the work of their fathers in
forming the government of the State
and giving it wise, good, iudicious
laws. The Democratic party TO-DAY
has in it some of the best elements of
the old Wing party. This Is well
known to every. Delawarean, ALTHOUGH
the New York journals boys may not
be aware of the fact. We might re-
fer for proof to men in official position
in every county in the State. The
answer which the Nea0s puts into the
mouth Of the young Democrat, that
'his father and grandfather were
Democrats" is highly creditablc
one and one not to be ashamed of.
1t is no small honor to be able to make
the claim to have been so long con-
nectsd with the Democratic party that
buils up the Republic. That party
controlled the government for over
sixty years of its existence from the
days Of John Adams down to James
Buchanan. The Democratic party
gave to the government the vast do
m 'ins embraced in Louisiana, Florida,

THE Louisville Commercial of
"Wednesday contains an account of
the sudden and unexpected resign
alton of General Manager DeFn-
MAX and Of Assistant General Man
ager and Purchasing Agent, g. &.
Breed, Of the Louisville d Nash
vile Railroad. There are no spec
ial reasons given for the unexpect-
ed designations of these officials,
save that OF DeFuniak, who stated
that he resigned to take charge of
the Pensacola & Atlantic Railroad,
of which he is President. The
reasons for Mr.. Breeds resignation
arenot stated.
There are many rumors in rail-
road circles in regard to the condi-
ton of the road, many stating that
it il in very precariOus condition
and will soon be placed in the hands
OF receiver. On the other hand,
these reports are denied. Certain
ii is, that there are internal troubles
among the management and organ
ization of the road. The stock OF
the road has lately steadily declined
and on Tuesday was down as low
as 49b. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the crisis will be
safely tided over.

died at his home in New York
City, on Wednesday morning at
9 O'Clock, after short illness. He
was born at Cairo, n. Y, Nov. 10,
1877, making him IS years of age
the 18th of this month. The great
er part of his long and distinguish
ed career was spent in the newspa-
per business, having entered a
printing Office at Catskill, at the age
of twelve. On becoming Of age he
established a newspaper in his own
name. In 1880 he removed to
Albany and assumed the editor
ship Of the Albany Evening Jour
nal, in the management of which
he acquired great influence and
fame. He was great power in
politics, being a wise, keen, shrewd
politician and may rightly be called
one of the fathers of the Republican
party. He was rather practical,
sensible political editor and party
manager and adviser, than a great
journalist. He was greatly revered
and respected by the people of New
York, and was looked upon in his
latter years as a kind of oracle to
whose opinions great Difference was
paid. -.i'

The press generally condemn the
unwarranted action of the Govern
or and Secretary of State of Missis-
sippi in giving the certificate of
election to Congress from the Sec
ond district, to Van. HI. Manning

is no doubt that Chalmers received
a majority Of the votes cast in the
district and the same was certified
to by the Commissioners of the
election. They have done what
Democrats have always severely
cOndemned-gOne behind the re-
turns and counted Chalmers out. 1t
came about in this way. The re-
turns from Tate county in the dis
trict showed 1872 votes for Chal-
mers against l,Is6 for Manning,
whereas the tally sheet on the re-
verse side of the returns showed
the 1,472 votes to be cast for j. R.
Chandler. There was no such man
running and the tally sheet was
plainly a clerical error and the
Commissioners so regarded it and
sent in the returns for Chalmers.
The Governor and Secretary of

face OF the returns and the certificate
of the Commissioners, and going
behind this to the tally sheet, threw
out the ,472 for Chandler and ia

he says: "There is no reason why

The Western Tobacco Journal
writing of the tobacco crop of this
year, says:
Since the advent of cool weather
house burn and pole rot has been
checked, aud with this kind Of
weather for short time longer, the
crop of White Burley and Seed
Leaf (these being the only varieties
which have been effected any way
seriously by these diseases) will be
so advanced that no further dam
age than was inflicted at the begin.
ming of the curing season need be
apprehended. For time the in
dicatiOns were that the crop would
be badly damaged from these causes,
bat happily favorable weather and
precautions taken by planters have
'turned the tables" The dark and
shipping grades of the GAINESVILLE,
(Tenn.,) Green River, (Ky.,) Vir-
ginia. and North Carolina Districts
are in good condition, and while in
some districts planting was restrict
ed, as whole the crop is larger and
of a better general character than
that which was grown last year.
AS for the Brights of Virginia and
North Carolina, there is no doubt
but what a very large crop has been
grown this year, and almost inva-
riably reports are to the effect that
much of it is of very superior char
acter. The outlook, therefore, is
bright for the whole Tobacco trade,
and while prices may rule more
favorably for manufacturers than
they have in the past, yet we think
that the increased production and
improved quality will fully COM
pensate growers for any decline from
present ruling rates.

1t may be well to bear in mind the
fact that with the Pennsylvania

Virginia in the hands of Democrats

will have twenty-five State delega-

AGAIN.
She is coming. The times por-
tend it, and we must keep our eye
skinned and be sure that she passes
through GAINESVILLE. Business men
and capitalists all over the country
are beginning to interest themselves
in the great enterprise. The Mem
phis Appeal of Tuesday, says:
Col. E. p. GUSTS Lewis, Col. Z. G.
Gordon and Major r.. w. Hunter
are in the city in the interest of a
railroad enterprise that promises
great results for this section of the
country. 1t will cross the Charles
ton road at Florence and run to Mo-
bile at the South and Evansville at
the North, and will pass through
the great iron and coal fields of Ala
bama, Tennessee and Kentucky.
No enterprise now before the people
of this county equals this in extent
or i'm the magnitude of the interests
involved, or i'm the prospective re-
suits. Col. Gordon, who has had
great experience in matters of this
sort, is sanguine, as he can afford to
be. 1t has been a pet scheme of his
for years, and we are satisfied will
tpan out" even more than he
claims. 5.r.-
