TIE SATURDAY JOURNAL.

The Saturday edition Journal for March Ii
will comprise twelve pages, and will contain the
first part of an original story called
"NIrs. ThorndylSe's Conscience"
BY Edgar Fawcett, author of "An Ambitious
Woman" "a Gentleman of Leisure" and other
popular works. This is story in two parts, the
second part being printed on the 2lst inst.
Besides this, there will be number of original
contributions, one upon Margaret Fuller Ossoli,
a woman whose life and work have been called
into renewed notice by reason Of the pubica-
tion of Hawthornes severe judgment upon her
character, and that of her husband. The high
literary character of the paper will be fully
maintained.

The Charleston News and Courier has come
to the sad conclusion that the fact that an
office-holder voted the Republican ticket at
the last election will not be accepted by the
new administration as proof that he is a ras-
cal, 'strong as the presumption is admitted
to be in the case of an office-h holder in such a
State as South Carolina" The News, there
fore, urges upon those of its readers who de-
sire federal officers to be removed to prepare a
bill of particulars, certificates of bad charac-
ter, so to speak, and place them where they
will do the most good. This extra trouble
and delay entailed upon the hungry and
thirsty when they expected to enter into their
reward at once, is narrowing to their souls;
but there can be no doubt that they will enter
into the work with vigor. If Republican
escapes with shred Of character to his back
he may consider himself lucky.

THE Cleveland Herald has gone out of exist
ence. There never was time when the law of
the survival of the fittest was doing its deadly
work among newspapers with greater GER
tainty than the present. The newspaper field
is overstocked and overworked, and the COM
petition is sharp. Grape will be upon the knobs
of many alleged newspapers before the year
closes. When the sitting has gone on until
only the best are left, it will be infinitely bet
ter for the reading and business public, which
is now imposed upon and pestered with all
manner of cheap limitations of newspaper.

DEMOCRACY AND THE NEGRO.

The Democratic party, through its orators
and its press has long presumed to censure
the Republican party because it has not done
more for the negro, the allegiance of the col
ored vote having been given unswervingly to
| the latter organization. 1t does not appear
that the negro vote cut any figure in the last
| campaign, Democratic violence and intimida-
ton having driven it out of existence The
negro vote would undoubtedly be with the
Republican party in free elections, but, as it
is, it has no voice in public affairs,
and only goes to swell the Democratic
electoral vote and representative power, in di-
rect opposition to the sentiment and interests
Of the colored population of the country. The
Republican party feels that it has done some
what for the negro. Briefly, it found him in
Democratic slavery, without social or political
rights. 1t drew him up out of slavery, and
gave him every opportunity in the world, and
his only enemy, since his emancipation and
enfranchisement, has been the Democratic
party.
But now what will the Democratic party do
for the negrog Since credit is not to be given
to the Republican party for allowing the
South increased representation on account of
the colored vote, it must be given somebody
besides the Democratic party. By means of
this increased vote in the electoral college
the country has to-day Democratic admin
istration, thing that could not have been
achieved except by the means indicated The
credit withheld from the Republican party
must be given the negro, for not voting his
sentiments and insisting that the vote should
be honestly counted. The Democratic party
owes to the negro its accession to power. Either
this, or it owes it to the murderers and
assassins that for years have killed men for
voting the Republican ticket. What is the
Democratic party going to do for the colored
voter? What positions of honor and trust are
to be given to himg With 100, 900 places to
distribute, how many are to pass to the hands
of the negroF Can that party so far overcome
its greed, its selfshness, its prejudice it's bru-
tality and its murderous hatred of the negro
to give him anything like what he deserves
1t is hardly possible, and few are foolish
enough to expect it.

A WORD TO "US.n

'''The Journal claims to be the party or
gam said one of them to the News reporter,
but it hasn't & wen any support this eessiort
and has frequently taken occasion to criticise
what we do, and in fact has gone so far as to
intimate that the Republicans and not the
Democrats are responsible for the special
session. If they don't let up over at that
office, they will hear something drop when
Mr.. McAIullen's bill to abolish the insurance
steal comes up, for we are liable to unite with
some of the Democrats and push it through.
There are more ways than one of getting even
with newspapers.
We find the above in the News of last night.
1t is possibly not worth notice; but we will
dignity it enough to say, in the first place,
that the Journal never claimed to be the
'organ" of the Republican party On the
contrary, it has time and again disclaimed
"organship," and if this member of
the Legislature knew enough to rep
resent an intelligent constituency he would
know that The Journal is Republican pa
per, committed to the advocacy and the de-
Tense of Republican principles; but it is not a
party "organ." 1t has seen in the past, as it
doubtless will see in the future, the necessity
to criticise with kindness and fairness we trust,
but with perfect frankness some things that
may be done through the agency Of those who,
for the time being, officially represent the
party. So far as we know, the Republican
party has never made any newspaper its
"organ;" it certainly never did so with the
indianapolis Journal, and we should respect
fully decline the duty were it sought to be i'm
posed upon us.
We are not able to understand what is meant
by the Journal not giving Gus any support
during the legislative session. We are not
conscious Of conspicuous failure to defend the
Republican party where defense was needful
and proper, nor to expose the infamies and
outrages perpetrated by the Democratic ma
jority, including the one of forcing upon the
people and taxpayers the expense of an
entirely unnecessary special session.
We are left to imagine that there is some one,
possibly-for surely there cannot be more
than one Republican member Of the Legisla-
ture to father this interview-who may feel
that the Journals columns have not as fully
supported" him as an infamed sense Of his
importance suggests as his due This may
be the case if it is we are sorry, but it can
not be helped. The Journal is printed fol
quite large constituency, and not for the
personal satisfaction Of any one individual.

UNLESS most carefully handled, the English
language is very ambiguous. The Macon (Ga. J
Telegraph tells of q watermelon seed that was
found in the inside of the handle of a knife car
ried by man at the time of his death, twenty
eight years ago." There is nothing very strange
in that, for the seed may have slipped into the
knife only last week. 1t would have been inter
esting had watermelon been found in
the handle, with a vine several
feet in length running along the
blade. In the same careless way the Water
bury, Conn., Republican tells of dog that
ran a fox into a tree twenty feet high" A fox
could probably run into tree forty or even one
hundred feet high. From the context it appears
that the fox ran up the tree to a heighth of
twenty feet, performance quite surprising

that it does not appear so absurd that a man

A COMPLETE SUNDAY PAPER

The SUNDAY JOURNAL was started on
the Oath of August last, and at once came
to the front as the Peoples Paper, on ac-
count of the excellence and variety of its con-
tents, the completeness of its Geographic re-
ports, and the high character pervading its
columns. The demand for the paper has been
so steadily increasing that we have been COM
PEELED to enlarge its pages, and to make ar
rangements whereby itcan hereafter be placed
in every town and city Of the State and sur
rounding territory. This at once doubled its
already handsome circulation, and added to
the value of it as an advertising medium.
The SUNDAY JOURNAL will not be q GEM
etery of dead matter, nor repository for
stupid stereotype pilates" Every line of it
will be new, fresh, and largely original matter.
