Republican Voters.
The GLoBE-REPuBLlo has had frequent oc-
casion to show up the actions Of some Of the
Bourbon Democracy Of German township in
their persecution OF residents of the township
whose only SIN and crime is the voting of the
Republican ticket. The election and inaugu-
ration Of . Democratic administration has
emboldened them to renewed acts of proscrip-
ton and persecution, and they are at it again,
through the anonymous letter sneak, who
comes to the front at every opportunity.
The indiguities heaped upon Jacob Miller,
shoemaker at Lawrenceville, quiet, peaceable
citizen, who never harmed or abused any
body, an old soldier As well, because be voted
for Blaine, have already bsen described. 1t
was At his house the American flag was
pulled down one night, and torn into frag-
ments, and his business has been nearly
ruined because of this Ku-KluIing persecu-
ton. A few days since he received an anon
ymeus letter, of which the following is an
exact copy, the original being in three or
four different hand writings:

No name is signed to the letter, and there
is no need of it. Sneak" is written all over
it from date-line to finale. The envelope is
pos,marked "Spring6eld," the writer feeling
too mean even to mail his TRADE at his own
Office. This anonymous letter business has
been kept up about fifteen years, any Offend
ing Republican being warned or threatened
in that manner. When that doesn't fit the
case. misspelled posters printed with stencils
are put up conspicuously in the town, de-
nou.cing political offenders. This is free
country, even in German township, but you
must vote the Democratic ticket.

You wouldn't know the inside of the
columbia" the way it has been fitted up.

In New Orlea--, with an extended
population of 100000. there are 7white
women to every white men, and 4 fe-
male TO male negroes. This is the
largest excess of female population of
any city in the Union. Thus it seems
that 8 males die for every 2 females.
and the death rate for the men is 46 per
1000 ard for the women 21. If nothing
occurs to disturb this proportion in
twenty years New Orleans will have
two women for every man.
