Strange, but True.

Mr.. Cox says 'He believes the Demo-
cratic party, with all its frailties, back
slidings, and short comings, is still the
party of the poor man, as distinguished
from the rich mans party, but there is no
class of voters whose minds are more faint
ed with the heresies of the protective tariff
than the laboring classes, who are most in
jured by that tariff
That is the trouble. The poor man has been
SO constantly told that he is protected by
the tariff, that he believes it is SO. He does
not know, and is not told, that whilst the
products of his labor are protected, there
is free trade in labor, and that because of
this protection, he has to pay increased
prices for almost everything that he uses.
In many foreign countries the protection is
as great as it is in this country, and yet
wages are lower than in free trade Eng
land Could the laboring man but once be
made to understand the ruinous effects Of
protection upon him, there would soon be
little heard from him about protection
making his wages higher, or protecting
him against the pauper labor of Europe
The wages of the laboring man are deter
mined by the laws Of supply and demand,
and no amount of protection or increase of
tariff can vary these immutable laws one
iota.
The laboring man should be taught the
fact, for fact it is, that the increased price
a manufacturer gets because of a tariff goes
to the increase of the manufacturers prof
its and not to the increase of the laborer's
wages.
The mining interests of this country are
enjoying CD high protection, and yet the
miners in Pennsylvania to-day are com
PEELED by their employers to work for sixty
five cents day or not work at all. The
history of protection in this country shows
that protection induces over production and
over-production causes either a. diminution
in wages or else total idleness.

1t was vell-known fact throughout Vir-
GINA long before election day that these
white renegades had preyed upon the fears
and prejudices of the colored people so
greatly as to induce colored preachers to
warn their fiocks against voting for any
body but a Mahoneite; that they had caused
resolutions,to be passed in the colored peo-
ple's churches providing for the expulsion
of any member who would not follow the
corrupt and unscrupulous Boss; that they
had gone so far as to send their party work
ers into the home of every colored man who
was suspected, and to persuade his wife that
if her husband did not vote for Malone S
candidate she and her children would be
made slaves again, and that if her husband
refused to heed these threats she must turn
him out doors and separate from him for
ever. To such depths of degradation did
these base, cowardly, false-tongued rene
gades descend in order to keep Office and
despoil the people.-Rich. State.

CoNsTITUTIoNALITY OF THE REGISTRA-
TIoN LAW RAIsED.-The Court of Appeals
last Thursday granted a nsandamas nisi,
returnable on The 91st day of April next,
upon the petition of John T. Gallalee, of
Portsmouth, who represents that he was
appointed registrar Of the Fourth Ward of
the city of Portsmouth on the oath Of JAN
uary, 1884, and has been acting as such
until the 2Sth day of March, 1884, when

Electoral Board of said city, recently Or
ganized by act of the last Legislature. re-
quested him to deliver up to him the pa
pers, &c, OF his Office, which was done.
Petitioner denies that said Calvert is the
legal registrar, and asks to bs re-instated
in it (his office. The question Of the
constitutionality of the act of the Legisla-
ture of 18th February, 1884, appointing
Electoral Boards for cities and counties,
will thMs be brought before the court for

For the SPECTATOR.
Letter from Canada.

MONTREAL, CANADA, April 1eth, 1884.
| ED. SpECTAToR:-It may be of some in
terest to your many readers to hear some
thing from the Queens Dominions. On
leaving home, April End, flowers were in
bloom in my yard. On the 3rd, I was at
Alexandria, 4th, at Baltimore, quite cool;
9Th, at Philadelphia and New York; 9th,
at FishkiIl Landing on the Hudson; Mon
day, the 18th, left the Hudson for Boston,
where found snow nearly all the way on
the hills Arriving at Boston at 10 o'clock,
P. NJ, on Tuesday, the 0th, an overcoat
was needed. After making several bust
ness calls, I left at 3, p. NJ, ON the cele-
brated Hoozac Tunnel Railroad for Albany,
N. Y. This Tunnel is five miles long, and
we were ten minutes passing through it.
The Company never allow but one train at
time to be in the Tunnel going either
way. It is double track, and solid rock
and no need for any arching. All along
this line there were some snow and ice. l
arrived at Albany, N. Y, at 11:4O, P. NJ.
Wednesday, the 9th, only having one
man to see, visited many old and celebrated
places, and started for Montreal at 1, P.
NJ, on the D. & Fl. G. r. r. About 5, P.
NJ, we came to one end of Lake Cham
plain, and then the scene was an entire
change The Lake is frozen over nearly
the whole length of it, few places only
having broken up, and in many places the
ground is covered with snow. l arrived
here at II o'clock, P. NJ, Thursday, the
10th. Here, at Montreal, it is not very
cold, yet, in many of the streets, they are
at work with picks and axes, breaking up
and hauling ice and snow out of the sreets;
and, in some of the streets, the black mud
is from three to six inches deep. In me-
andering about the ancient city, find in
some sections rather ancient, dilapidated
appearance, and at others everything de-
notes thrift and industry. The centre of
the city is very substantial, aud business
windows have pleasant appearance, I
leave here at 8, P. NJ, for Detroit, Mich.
thence to Columbus, o.
Truly yours, n. Fl. HoTCHKIss.

CHILLY HAMILTON. u
ARTHUR's INSULT TO A NEGRO CONGRESS

ARTHUR S INSULT TO NEGRO CONGRESS
MAN.-President Arthur sometime since in
vited all the members of Congress to dine
with him. He asked them in squads. But
there was one congressman who was not
bidder. He is the colored congressman
And yet President Arthur is working to get
the negro vote. His agents are packing ne
gro conventions for him. He relies upon
getting the nomination by the aid of negro
votes in the South. But while he wants the
colored mans vote he cannot ask the color
ed congressman to take dinner at the White
House.
Perhaps he has initiated the example of
his recent Virginia convert, Mr.. John S.
Wise. Perhaps he will invite the tabooed
colored congressman to his kitchen.
This at least demonstrates the hypocrisy
of Arthur's friendship for the colored man.
1t shows how little the accidental President
can be trusted by his dupes. He is only
after the negroes vote, and cares nothing
for the negroes, welfare.-Rich. State.

How 1T IS MADE OUT Boston Globe.
"A correspondent excitedly demands to
know how the Globe makes it out that r.
d. Hayes is not an ex-President of the Uni
ted States. We are surprised to find that
any person at all Interested in public affairs
is unacquainted with the fact that in 1876
the people of the United States, by ma
jority of quarter million, elected Samuel
j. Tilden to be their President for four
years. A person named R. B. Hayes, who
is now engaged in what we trust is the hon
est business of keeping hens in Ohio, was
fraudulently placed in the White House by
a band of reasonable conspirators, and for
four years embezzled the salary of Mr.. Til
den. AS R. B. Hayes never was elected
President of the United States, it is quite
clear that he cannot be an ex-President. If
a sneak-thief should get into the house of
our correspondent, lock the latter out, and
proceed to eat the food in the pantry and
pocket the spoons, the neglect of our COR
respondent to fire him out would not con-
stitute the thief the rightful occupant of the.
house and owner of the spoons. We hone
the point is made clear

A HORRIBLE CASE OF CRUELTY.-At
Wilmington, Del, the 18th, Martha Smith,
coIored, was arrested for cruelty treating
six-year-old daughter Of a woman named
Wesley, which has been in the keeping of
Mrs Smith for some time. On the child's
back were two immense scars, from which
the flesh had been burned almost co the
spine, which she stated had been inflicted
by the woman setting her upon red-hot
stove for disobeying a command. Her
tongue was badly lacerated, which was the
result Of the woman sticking fork through
the child's tongue to keep her from cry

SENATOR VANCE IN DANvILLE.-Dan-

passing South this evening, was met by a
committee of citizens sent up the Midland
Railroad to escort him to this place, ana
was accorded a reception at the depot.
There were present about five hundred cit
liens and military companies. In an adj
dress, Mr.. Vance said the time for 'tfapping
the bloody shirt was passing away, since
the sober minded, thinking people of the
North were beginning to understand the
peculiar state of things at the South, and
to make allowance for the apparent impa-
thence of the Southern people, A South

that mean whits scoundreis were at the
bottom of them.

SOUTHERN COMPETITION TELLING.--The
extensive cotton mills of the A. Campbell
Manufacturing Company, at Manayunk,
Pa, which give employment to 700 hands,
will be shut down for an indefinite period
in two weeks Mr.. Campbell assigns as
the reason for the stoppage the immense
overproduction of cotton fabrics and the
strong competition that has grown up in
the South, where he claims that the cheaper
ern cotton mills formidable contestants in
tile cotton trade.

GIVE US ANOTHER REAsoN.-The Rich
mond Dispatch volunteers the suggestion
that Geo. D. Wise and Cabell of Virginia
refrained from voting for or against the
increase of the tariff on wool, because the
Democratic sentiment of the State is op-
posed to any agitation of the tariff issue
at this time. Will it now kindly suggest
reason for Mr.. Randall's voting for an
increase of the duty on wool? Is this
the kind of agitation that does not agitate
the DISPATCH?

General Malone says only the s'best'' men

tired Of negro leadership, and President
Arthur invites every other Republican,
member of Congress, except the two 1e-

time ago and was brutally murdered in Mis-
souri, last week. The murderer, who writes,
is desperate, named Billy Hamilton, now
in the johnson county Jail, Missouri. His
confession is as follows:
'.My Lady,-There is no language which
can express my grief and sorrow since 1
know myself guilty of being implicated in
your brothers death. 1t was Charles Hamil-
ton who struck your brother the first blow
with an iron bar; then, as he was only stun
ned, he was put across the track for the
locomotive to crush him. He kept me from
preventing him at the point of his revolver.
Forgive me, beg of you, for not sacrificing
my own life to save your brothers. The
threats of Charles Hamilton kept me from
confessing until few hours ago, but con-
science overcome me. God forgive me and
you forgive me, my lady. Write in English
or German. Again l ask forgiveness.
Yours, grieving,
