THE Cincinnati Commercial comes
squarely up to the real issue that
ought to divide the two parties in the
Presidential election. In its issue Of
last Friday the Commercial says:
ut is certain that this country es-
capped civil war in 1876 which would
have been far more terrible expert
ence than the war of the States of
1S61-by narrow and precarious chan
ces.
Why was the country subjected to
this danger? Simply because of the
implacable spirit of the ruling class in
the South. who committed murder in
order to deprive the colored people of
the right Of suffrage.
The shotgun there swept half doZ-
en- States for the Democrats that were
honestly Republican under the condi-
tions of the restoration of the con-
quered Southern Confeder cy to polit-
ical rights; and as in three States
there were provisions Of law to pre-
vent murder from becoming the SOW
ereign influence in elections, that saved
the votes Of those States from the
Democracy, there was a bloody spirit
of rebellion that still glares at us
through the Democratic newspaper
literature of the dav.
The events in Virginia last week
show that we are rushing into another
period of danger. The whole vote Of
the Southern Confederacy is to be Sc
cured for the next Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency. by bloodshed.
Perhaps there has already been mur-
der enough to make the solid South,
but if not, there is to be more muir
DER
The fatal mistake made in 1857,
was admitting that the rebel, murder
GUS Democrats, mi ght filibuster until
after the 4th of March, 1877, and
thus prevent Hayes from taking the
office to which he had been legally
elected. Hayes and his advisers then
tacitly contracted with the rebels to
turn the Republicans of the South
oyer to the Rebel murderers. on con-
dition that they permit Hayes to go
into Office. Let this thing not be re-
peated. Let the rebels understand
that Gen. Sheridan is now at the head
Of the army, and that fair Presiden-
tial election must he had next year.

A CoLoRED man writes to the Com
mercial Gazette, asking if there is no
protection for the colored men in the
South. Yes, there as protection. IT'S
said that "the hair Of the dog is good
for the bite Let the colored men ap-
ply to the Southern bullies and mur-
derers a dose Of their own medicine.
Let the colored men prove themselves
as expert and ready with the shotgun
as the white Democrats of the South,
and it will not be long before there
will be display Of peace, and broth
erly love, on the part Of the white
murderers. The way to meet the
shotgun is by the shotgun. Con-
vince the Southern Bourbons that
they that take the shotgun must per-
ish by the shotgun. This advice
would not be reasonable were there
not enough colored men in the South
to make the plan thoroughly effective.

THE new standard of time is merely
an arrangement for convenience and
safety in railroading, and is intended
to do away with the difference of time
between different portions Of the
country, as applied to railroading. 1t
is not likely that people will set their
clocks either backward or forward on
account of it, or that they will pur-
chase clocks registering up to XIV.

AT Currituck, Hyde County, North
Carolina, they had a practical temper
ance sermon, one day last week. At
a wedding Of young society folks, y
the supper table was generously sup
piled with wines The young men
imbibed freely, and the result was a
drunken fight in the dining-room.
One Of the groomsmen was shot dead,
and another desperately wounded. The
bride and groom sat up all night by
the bedside of the wounded grooms-
man. and it is to be hoped that during
the long vigils Of that night of horror
they found time and cause for sober
reflection upon the evils Of intemper
ance, which darkened the very first
hour of their married life with murder.

THEY are having a scheol-book war
in Cincinnati, one publishing house
offering books cheaper than the one
now having the monopoly of the
trade, or offering ten thousand dollars
for the privilege of selling the books
at the price now paid by parents for
books. for their children. Cheaper
school books is what this country
needs. The modern pupil must have
enough books and stationery to fit out
a Justice of the Peace, but the prices
keep up wonderfully well.

The Democracy Of the Solid South
bears witness, on every possible occa-
sion, that the Democratic party can
not safely be entrusted with the con-
troll Of this Government until all the
old generation of Bourbons shall have
passed away.
In the recent farce-called an cleo
tion-in Virginia, the old Bourbon
leaders saw signs of danger to Bour-
bonism, and were convinced that des-
perate methods would be necessary to
save the State from being completely
wrested from the Bourbon grasp.
Your old line Solid-South Demo-
crat always has means at hand, when
it becomes necessary for him to con-
vince a colored man. He cleans up
his old shotgun and goes cunning fer
colored men. It requires but few
cold-blooded, deliberate murders, to
convince the colored men that their
only safety lies in staying away from
the polls. Hence we have the horri-
BILE record of deliberate butcheries in
Virginia, just previous to the recent
election, which would put to shame
the most degraded savage raider on
the western plains. While the Dem
ocrats in Ohio were using sweet words
of persuasion to the colored men, the
Democrats in Virginia were deliber-
ately numbering colored men. The
Democracy cannot be trusted until
such methods shall have prssed away.
Con sidered as political principle, the
sh ,t-gun may be in some respects a
cpu vincing, but it is not good one.

List pf Pensioners.

A short time ago some fellow wrote
to us and proposed to send us list of
persons in Jackson County who draw
pensions, provided we would send him
Ave dollars, We did not answer his
letter.
Last week one of the Gaiiipoiis pa
pers published what purported to be a
list Of pensioners in Gallia County,
giving Postoffce address. In the
Thurman list We notice several citi-
zens of Jackson County, among 9TH
ers, Rev. Jonathan E. Thomas, Of the
56th Ohio Regiment.
The Jackson Journal last week was
the worst sold paper we have seen. It
published what purported to be COM
plete list, with amount Of pension, and
Postoffice address Of pensionef. It
left OUT good many, and gave wrong
amounts in several cases. For in
stance, Charles Rhodes, D. W. Cher
ington. and others. who lost leg, and
Aaron Kirkendall, and others. who
lost an arm, are put down at $24 per
month. They each get 1907 month.
Many are put down who have re-
moved from the County, and num-
ber who are dead, some of them hav-
ing died more than ten years ago.
Among the dead we find Peter MeDon-
aid, William Fl. Palmer, William r.
Mcdaniel, Gideon Harvey, Harrison
Gilliland. Robert Conner, and others.
REV. JAMES BRAND, Of Oberlin, O.,
severely denounced, in a sermon, the
business uf one Bronson, Druggist,
who was accused of running sort of
drinking saloon in his Drug Store.
Bronson Brought suit against Brand
for thirty thousand dollars for libel.
The jury remained out two days, and
were discharged. There is just one
reason why doggery-keeper becomes
very angry when his business de-
nounced, and that is that he knows he
is engaged in veay mean, disreputa-
BILE business.
