TIE EREEDMEN,.s BANK.

The last of this colossal piece Of fraud
and corruption has been reached--it has
come to an end after having paid sixty-two
cents on the dollar. 1t originated with the
close Of the war, and like vile and filthy
cancer its whitening branches extended all
through the unfortunate and impoverished
South. The bounty-agents of the military
service acted as its directors and secured the
most implicit confidence of the ignorant
freedmen. Any statement made to them by
these agents was received as the gospel
truth, and consequently when the banks
were established they came forward and
willingly and joyfully placed their little
earnings in the care of these agents. That
faith which is born Of ignorance is hard to
shake, and but few people can conceive of
the implicit confidence these liberated slaves
placed in their new-found friends. Their
little money, earned, doubtless, after many
privations and days and months of patient
toll, was gathered in by these pious and vir-
tuous agents OF the Republican administra-
ton and expressed to Washington, where
the sumptuous thieves and thieving officials
of the government might steal ii and riot
sin the excess of unbridled opportunity"
Only think, nearly three millions, OBJ
tanned in this way from these confding but
misguided people ,wentinto what was known
as the district ring" and many of the pal
atial residences which adorn what is now
regarded as one of the handsomest cities Of
the world were built with this money. 1t
was loaned to men who were destitute of
honor as they were Of any substantial Sc
curity-they were followers of the sainted
and immaculate Republican party; the mon
ey was given out, the agents drew their sal
aries and their additional ten and twenty
per cent, the debauch went on, and these
poor wards" paid for IL with their sweat
and blood. Oh virtuous and patriotic phi
lanthropists-and you have been and are
patriotic and philanthropic fer revenue only
If you had one impulse If honorable man
hood you would hide from the presence of
socieiy--from the scorn and hatred Of hon
est men.
The Freedmen's Bank has been closed,
like cancer it has been cut out, but the scar
still remains, and the criminal party which
gave il life and sustained 1t in its triumph
still lives and has control Of the govern
ment. And there are still thousands of its
adherents, who are adherents "for revenue
only" are willing TO engage in similar
work.

Friday Morning......~...June !, 1883.
THE CORONATION.

The Gar OF Russia was careful to have
the full details of his driving out without
an escort telegraphed all over the world.
This was probably done in the hope of dis
ceuraging the Nihilists. In the same way
the father of the present sovereign escaped
from carefully planned explosions, but that
did notprevent the final catastrophe. Alex
ander Ill is not happy man; he is not
just man. And all the petty ruses to make
him appear happy, brave and honest are
dismal failures The weeks pageant, the
entry into Moscow, the mummery of bless
ing the flag, the proclamation read by the
heralds and all the other ceremonies may
catch the eye and fascinate the imagination
of the common people for short time, but
how about constitutional government, edu-
cation, freedom of the press, the abolition of
Siberian horrors and a hundred necessary
reforms?
The coronation has actually taken place,
the Gar has at last got the crown on his
head. 1t is an old adage that "the head
which wears crown lies heavy" and no
one can for moment suppose that 1t is
other than true in letter and spirit with the
Gear.
As citizens of a Republic our people were
not called upon to wish the unlucky Alex
ander well through his coronation, but at
all events the Car is a man, and on that
score we have certainly desired his preserva-
ton from the designs of the assassin. Dyna-
mite may seem to the Russian conspirators
a God-given weapon, but to ordinary NOR
tails 1t seems the most inhuman of means,
even for desperate political reasons. How
ever generally public reason might agree
upon the justice of the NihiIist cause, human
sentiment cannot reconcile itself to the hor-
rors Of assassination and wholesale murder.
The New York Herald in its issue OF
Monday last, writing from the above caption,
says: "The Gar has been crowned With
a pomp never previously witnessed in our
time he has received from the Metropolitan
of Moscow the emblem of his power over
ninety million subjects. VIII he wear ii
worthily9 Will he clothe the barbarism OF
the Empire with the forms and the blessings
Of modern civilizationP Will he extirpate
the vile bureaucracy which is eating out the
heart of the nation? Will he free the press
and grant TO the people larger share in
legislation? His manifesto gives promise
that he will. His immense prerogatiye is
capable of acts from which Parliament
would shrink. His father set millions free
+, with word, and he with stroke of the
pen may make that freedom something
more than name. He has been saved from
a great peril and will be blind indeed if he
cannot read the lesson Of his escape"

Gen. James Longstreet, who is on a visit
10 New York, informed reporter that
pslitics have been put aside in Georgia,
now that the new Governor has been in
augurated and the people are now bending
all their energies to attract northern capital
10 develop their mineral and industrial re-
sources. Capital is flowing in, and he says
there ought 10 be no fear of splendid re-
turns TO investors. Gen. Longstreet is en-
phatic in declaring that Southern outrages
are, thing Of the past, the most cordial
feeling towards the North existing every
where" He says the colored people in
Georgia "are a very intelligent class, and
both wise and cunning, maintaining an
outward semblance Of adherence to the Re-
publican organization for the sake of get
ting federal Office or two, but on election
day voting the Democratic ticket" He does
not think Gov Butler will find much en-
couragement for presidential hopes down
South.

A reporter of the New York World inter-
viewed Judge Black recently, who said he
had positive views on the tariff, and that
Congress had no more right to levy tax
on imports than it had on land, beyond what
is necessary for the support and maintenance
of the government. All above that is rob-
berry," The above would make very good
plank in the next Democratic platform, and
no better man could be found to stand upon
it than Judge Black.

CIVIL ,SERYICE.

From the start we were satisfied that the
civil service reform as set forth and adopted
by the last Congress would prove an arrant
farce. The people never had any conf
dence in the measure, and 1t has been UNI
popular from its very inception. 1t was
announced that its operations would not be
partisan and that it was inaugurated in the
hope of purifying the public service.
At the start it was given out that the Com
mission would be constituted of non-partisan
men, and whatever of Democratic support
the bill obtained emanated from this decla-
ration-in this belief large portion of the
Democratic press gave it a hearty endorse
ment.
But it has turned out that it is not what
1t was asserted it would be. 1t was born in
deliberate fraud, and has maintained this
character ever since. Whatever of public
favor it has received has been through false
pretense. The rules of the Commission with
the exception of those which relate to politi-
cal assessments are especially Objectionable.
That which pretends to regulate the man
ner of competitive examinations is extreme
ly ridiculous. 1t is unjust, and if put into
legitimate execution will exclude the ablest
and best officials that can be obtained by
the government. The clerk who audits &C.
counts and casts up figures has nothing to
do with geography and ancient and modern
history. 1t is evident that he should have
not only an idea, but understand mathe-
mates, but the business routine of his office
has as much to do with geographical and
astronomical literature as the Republican
party has with great moral ideas, or rail-
road company to honest dealing. Viewed
from any standpoint the entire measure is
an outrage upon the public service and has
failed to fulfill the just expectations of the
public.

THE RENOWNED

lating report 10 the effect that they had
bought the right 10 make and use patents Of
Geo. Estery h Son in the construction of

il proper TO publish the following Circular

the point, and ! am sure ] need add nothing

which is intended 10 be practiced on the farm

Esterly patented improvements. They ac-
knowledge the superiority of these improve
ments in the Es,erly by seeking to palm off
their less valuable machines, by claiming that
they have right to use the Esterly patents
| deny the truth Of ihe statement and pro-
nounce it false, no matter by whom, or to
whom uttered, and in verifcaton of the above
statement call attention to the following Cir
cular Of December ., 1882. Let no farmer
be deceived bv the false statements. made TO
him, but if he wants to use the Esterly pat

he Simon-pure Esterly Light-Draft Self-Bind-

can be bought of me, as their authorized Gen
eral Agent, as eheaply and on as accommo-
dating terms as any machine made and sold

To our Agents and others whom it may
concern:
DEAR SIRs: We are in receipt of informa-
tion that seems TO be reliable, as it comes TO
us from all parts of the country and through
different channels, to the effect that D Al.
Osborne Il Co., OF Auburn, New York, are
indnstriousy advertising through iheiPagenis
and travellers, that they have Bought MS
OUT or "bought license' from us, and that
they contemplate manufacturing he EsIery
Binder for 1888, etc.
While the fact of their thus advertising may
be and is highly complimentary to the mn
precedented success of the "Esterly," we
deem it proper for us 10 say we have not sold
out 10 d. NJ. Osborne Il Co that we have not
neither do we intend TO grant license to D.
NJ. Osborne Co., or TO any other party
whatsoever, TO manufacture the Esterly Bind
or in the United States.
II is true that d. NJ Osborne & Co, have
solicited patterns of our Binder and the right
TO build them, both of which have been EN-
phatically refused under any and all circum-
stances whatsoever
1t is also true that in our correspondence,
d. NJ. Osborne paid the Esterly some well
merited compliments, all of which we fully
appreciate, but the improvements have been
made for our own use and benefit and that Of
our Agents and customers only
And we hereby give notice that we shall
hold all parties infringing our rights strictly
responsible whether they eilhe. 'manufac-
