TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 20. 1883.
Not n Good Odor,

Henry b. Payne, Of Cleveland, Is a
man Of great responsibility and wealth,
but as one interested In the Standard
oil company, his son being amember, ne
Is ineligible TO the political position to
which he aspires. The Standard is not
a sweet smelling corporation to the peo
ple, and we do not think that the power
OF It's money will ever be able to disguise
It's perfume. II Is a corporation which is
understood to have accumulated profits
Of some seventy or eighty millions Of
dollars after decade of manipulation of
the oil trade, during which it almost
achieved monopoly of the production
and refining of oil, and would have fully
done 80 but for the opposition it met in
Mr., Gowen and the Reading railroad
1t has just confessed to having paid an
agent of the state of Pennsylvania fifteen
thousand dollars in cash and five
thousand dollar salary to secure
his silence as to what he knew OF its pc
culiar methods of dealing. Its capital
being as elastic as its conscience, the
Standard stops nowhere in using it where
it sees field of profit |. reaches OUT
for the gas supply of our towns for the
reason that they are readily susceptible OF
monopoly and provide large cOusump
tion Of petroleum. Reading has had the
experience Of the Standard management
of the gas works for a year, but the
stockholders of the gas company have
now gathered themselves together and
kicked the offensive creature out 1t
has, we hear, wandered over 10 Ian.
ister and undertaken our gas supply.
II gave very poor article in Reading,
and will do likewise here; though il can
hardly do worse for US in this regard
than has been done.
Mr.. Payne may be unfortunate IN
having son who bags share Of the
Standards stealiDgs, aud may in truth
himself be q very righteous man but
he certainly stands too near this Offense
to shake its odor from him so as to be
eligible as a Democratic leader. Mr..
Payne proposes to take Mr. Pendleton'7
place in the Senate ; and perhaps with a
view to advertise his works and virtue
to the people, some one has printed an
interview with thinly disguised
unknown, who points himself out as Mr
Payne in the course of his revelations.
in which his course on the electoral com
mission is admiringly mentioned. The
electoral commission, however, is almost
as destructive, in another way, to
the fame and fragrance ot would be
Democratic seers as the Standard OIL
monopoly. There Is profound impres
sion in the Democratic mind that the
electoral commission did not stamp lis
Democratic supporters with the seal OF
political sagacity and yirility. Mr..
Payne was its ardent advocate and tells Us
how it would have failed Of accomplish.
ment but for Roscoe COnk!ing II was
bad day for us when it did not fail. 1t
was bad day for the country when its
Congress would not do its constitutional
duty but made in effect Justice Brad. |
ley the aTbiter to decide who had been
elected president, Mr.. Payne should
not plume himself on that deed. Perhaps
Mr.. Payne has too much money 10 see a
path of political duty whichlerIIs money.

WE understand that at the recent
elections in Bar! township, this county
the bailo, of several qualified Democratic
votes were excluded by the Republican
majority of the election officers, al
though they had, within two years, paid
a state or county tax one month before
the election which had been assessed AZ
least two months. The preteXt up o.
which they were refused their legal
rights Of the franchise Was that ia. tax
had not been aSsCSscd within two
years. This makes 10 difference.
1t has been repeatedly dgcll
that state or county tax ASSESSED three,
four or five years before the election, If
paid thirty days before it aul within
two years, qualities the voter. The Bart
election officers were entirely mistaken
II they did not wiliully exclude LEGAL
votes for partisan reasons The wrongld
parties have civil and criminal redres
against them. The case is very much
stronger than the instance in this city
which inspired the Republican prosecu
tion of Democratic election officer

On Monday night, the 18th, the
barn of Messrs. w. II. Campbell \
Bros, about three miles southeast of
the city, was burned by an incendiary
about the hour Of midnight. The
owners suspected Reuben Leavell and
Horace Brown, two colored men liv-
ing on a place that the Messrs. Camp
bell had rented for next year, thereby
displacing the suspected parties. The
tracks in the field were measured
and upon these grounds Leavell and
Brown were arrested and their trial
was held before Judge Winfree We'd
nesday. A good many witnesses
were examined and conflicting testi-
mony heard, but while circumstances
strongly pointed to them as the
guilty parties, the court held that the
evidence was not strong enough to
hold them over and they were re.
leased.

THE DUTY OF SOUTHERN MEN.

There is no mistaking the fact
that the present is the most pros
porous year the States of the South
have ever seen. There seems to be
a boom all along the line. The wise
men of the South should see to it
that Kuklux and the enemies of pro-
gress are promptly suppressed and
and made to feel the strong arm of
the law. 1t would be a shame and
a disgrace to permit a few lawless
hordes of vandals to overthrow and
turn aside the tide of prosperity
which seems to.be ready to bless the
South.

BRILLIANT FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.

In a late address before the Bos-
ton Mechanics Society, Mr.. Wendell
Phillips, the noted orator, is report
ed to have said:
'The handwriting is 50 plain on
the wall that none but fool need
mistake it. New England is doomed
Just as sure as natural laws will pro-
duce fixed results. New England
has no soil worth mentioning, and
her wealth has all been derived from
her manufactures. These are grad
ually leaving her, and eventually
they will all go; some to the West,
but most to the South, where the
advantages for profitable manufac-
turing are all located. The coal and
iron in the South are easily gotten
at and are inexhaustible in amount,
and the iron mills, foundries and
machine shops,ca go to them better
than they can be carried to the
shops. Then the cotton and woolen
mills must go there, for the raw
materials are, and are to be, pro-
produced there most cheaply, uni
formly and better. Then look at
the advantages of the extra hours
Of daylight in a years run. This,
of itself, is no small matter. AS the
South grows stronger and stronger,
the wealth, culture and power of the
country will be centred there, until
she will become, not alone the mis-
tress of the America, but the central
empire of the world.

Dead beat agents and correspon-
dents who neglect to enclose postage
when requesting a reply by mail
need thinning out quite as badly as
dead-beat advertisers. Those who
are too lazy to earn the where-with-
al or too penurious to pay for what
they get, do not deserve any con-
sideration. Absolute poverty is pitt
able, but the cases are so few, where
energy would not remedy the mis-
fortune, that in encouring anything
but spirit of bold independence,
one would be likely to accomplish
more evil than good. Earn all you
can and pay for what you get
