THEY KNOW THEY LIE.

The South would be Republican
ifthe niggers were allowed to vote
but when the Northern Democrats
and ofice-seeking Southern Dem
ocrats say that the niggers are al
lowed to vote, they lie, and they
know they lie. The Sothern peo-
ple are determined that the mig
ger shall not vote. They are
right. They tell the truth. | be-
lieve in the shotgun and revol-
yer. / believe in shooting the
nigger when necessary, and the
Democratic party believes in it.
But the Democracy is cowardly.
1t is trying to get in power by ly-
ing. 1t has abandoned its princi-
ples for few offices. The Demo
cratic towards IN Congress and
elsewhere are trying to deceive
the North. They say the Southern
people are loyal; that the niggers
are enjoying the fullest rights of
citizenship, and enjoy the old flag
as highly in Mississippi as in Mas
sachusetts. 1t is an Infamous,
damnable, outrageous falsehood.
The Southern people are not loyal;
the negro does not enjoy the full
lest rights of citizenship, nor is it
intended that he shall, and the
people OF Mississippi spit upon
the old fag.-BatOling Green

A WORD TO MR.. CALKTNS.

The Indiana Republicans are
considering the names OF, Hon. w.
w. Dudley, the present Commits
sioner of Pensions, and Hon. w.
III. Caikins, member of Congress
from that state, in connection with
the nomination for Governor, to be
elected in next November. 1t is
hoped that the Indiana Republl-
cans will seriously consider the
great risk they will take of loos!ug
the election by nominating such a
man as Mr.. Calklns.
The record Mr.. Calkins made in
the 47th Congress as chairman OF
Elections, is such that no colored
man who Is true to his race, nor
white man who is a true republi-
can, can vote to make Mr.. Calkins
Governor Of Indiana. He has
convinced us that he is unworthy
of the support and confidence OF
the colored people, and that he
has acted the traitor to his party.
Notwithstanding the knowledge
he must have had of the way In
which the Democratic Bulldozers
and Ballotbox suffers, defrauded
Southern Republicans out of their
rights at the polls in 1880, he, ear
ly in the session, took strong sides
with the Democrats on the election
committee, and opposed the seat
ing of every colored contestant
who had cases before his com
mittee. He opposed the seating
of such able men as Lynch, OF
Mississippi Smalls ana Lee o.
South Carolina; Witherspoon, o.
Florida; and Jones, Of Alabama
He assured a prominent Southern
democrat In the early part of th'
first session of the 47th Congress
that the democrats whose seatt
were contested should not be dis
| turbed in their seats by report;
| from his committee at this session
Surely the Republican eonven
ton of indiana will not foist such
man as Mr.. Calkins, upon the coloret
voters, if SO, they invite and desire
defeat at the polls, especially when
the name of Hon. w. w. Dndley
is before the people as a candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Dudley is al
able, true and staunch republican
and has not shown himself oppos
ed to the Negro race.

CONGRESSMAN BENNETT
OF NORTH CAROLINA.

A few month ago the above
named distinguished (?) gentle
man from the Tar-heel State in
troduced a bill in Congress to pro-
hibit marriages between the color
ed and white persons in the Dis
trict of Columbia. At the time of
the introduction of the bill we did
not know much about this new
Congressman, but thought that he
belonged to that class of ignorant
white men who are opposed to the
Negro under any and all circum-
stances. It is an undeniable fact
that pretty nearlyall the opposition
the colored man receives comes
from the poor and uneducated
whites. The following special dis.
patch to the Philadelphia Times
gives an idea of the kind Of man
Mr.. Bennett is:
A scene occurred on the floor of the
House to-day, during discussion on the
Wood Peters contested election case, such
as is rarely witnessed. 1t was the crank s
day in the House and they made the most
of it. The fun began with a two hours
speech from Mr.. Wood, the contestant.
He read his speech in the central aisle,
displaying portly figure ofa man about
fifty years of age in bobtailed coat and
with country grocery air. 1t was the
greatest effort of his life.

comparison with that which followed

tbe re st Of the committee on ek ,ctions be-
inc una uitiously on the otb er side. On
his repol t Judge Bennett made speech
nearly two hours in Length, in which he
discussed Constitutional law i'm the most
fiorid style and pomporis manner. He is
a large man., with towering bald head
the hair ha wing apparently all slipped
down on his chin, and has a voice like
bull. He ra .ged W ith ponderous fury
and was col istantIy guyed by the whole
House unmel rcifully. Every time he mis-
quoted the law the lawyers laughed and
and every { line he slaughtered Latin q
groan went up from the scholars, which
set the wb ole House in a roar. This
amused the: House so immensely that on
member fter another got up and gave
Bennett dditional time until they. wore
him out. He then convulsed the House
by asking PERMISSION to rest awhile.
When Bennett had again run down the
House took vote, which was practically
unanimous against him. in the vote to
give Wood the seat only Bennett and
Calamity Weller stood up against the
whole House, VIII ich result was hailed
with shouts of laue hter.

THE lNGRATITUDE.

Several unnecessary motions
were made in the committee by
men who would sell their dead
mothers picture. The excitement
got SO great that a riot might have
been. John w. Freeman, who is
always on the fence, commenced
to blackguard several members of
the committee, r. G. Ingessoll,
Messrs. Geo. Holmes, Miller,
Chase, and others. Mr.. Marcelus
West sprung to his feet and gave
Freeman a scorching rebuke. Mr..
Chase in reply to Freeman's at
tack on Col. Ingersoll SAID that
none but an INSCRIPTIONS demo-
gogue would utter such language
against one Of off the the truest friends
OF the Ecolored race; the only Re
lican who had the courage to stand
before the American people and de-
nounced the Infamous decision of
the Supreme Court. T'is ingratitude
and none but an idiot, or an ass
would be ungrateful to his friends.
l stand here tonight in the name
of the respectable people of this
community and denounce the ut
terauces of that infamous hound
as not being the sentiments of the
colored people, [long applause],
My fellow citizens, it is ingrati-
tude and plainly shows the heart
of a saleable negro.
Mr.. Freeman again took the
floor and was hissed into silence.
At this juncture the members of
the committee were at fever-heat.
After which Mr.. Chase said that
he understood that certain recon-
mendations would be made by the
executive committee relative to a
new convention on account of ce1-
tain charges of fraud, intimida-
tion, &C., land l move, said he,
that the charges be reported to the
committee, either to be substantial
ted or allow the two gentlemen
who had been elected to Chi
cago to vindicate themsel yes.
Prof. Greener in reply said that
the committee was not called for
that purpose, but to consider the
three dollars that each district had
to pay under the constitution.
Hissses and very complimentary, ?
remarks poured forth like hot
shells.

CURED on Mr.. Chase's motion to
go into executive session, which
motion was also lost. These mo-
tons were signals for attack on
either side. There were men who
had heretofore opposed Messrs
Conger and Carson, and who
were among the first to make
charges of fraud before the com.
mittee had been appointed were
among the first to weaken and
prove the traitor to men and false
to the principle that they claimed
to have advocated. The men who
went to the chairman of the ex.
ecutive committee and who called
at the BEE Office and said that
gross frauds were perpetrated in
the convention, and that bribe
had been offered them, were
among the first to deny what they
had said.
Mr.. Fred Dyson, the head mal
of DR.. A. E. Adams, was the most
active in lnaugurating the call fol

to say that money was offered
him, but was found wanting when
