Senator Chandler has prepared article for
| the July Forum to induce the North to I'M
deceive itself, for "the South is in the saddle
and it means to stay there" He states the
situation thus: "The South which, during more
than half century, dominated the nation by
means of slavery and the power which slavery
gave, has, after period of reconstruction pro-
Ionged by crimes against the freedmen, again
seized the reins Of government, and has reward
ed itself for its rebellion by increased represent
tation in Congress and in the body of electors
which chooses President The North is sup
posed to have conquered The Union is saved
in form. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments are dead letters, openly and fagrantly
disobeyed.. Suffrage at the South for the black
man does not exist for the white man even it is
almost farce. few leaders in each State,
combining with similar coteries in other States,
form an oligarchy which yields the whole poll
teal power OF the solid South. United with the
Democratic Party of the North, who expect to
control by corruption or fraud few northern
States their plan of campaign is exactly what
is was before 1860. Our modern southern
masters are not different from those of former
years. They are able, always alert, and when
ever not opposed are plausible, courteous and
full OF kind and patriotic professions; resisted,
their gentleness proves like that Of tigers they
become fierce and defiant, sometimes brutal.

Augusta had had another Saturday
night sensation. Sunday morning the
mutilated body of Jacob Britt was found
on the railroad track about half a mile
below the city. A pool of blood was
found sixty-ive ties below where the
body lay. This afternoon there is quite a
general suspicion that there was foul
play. 1t would not be possible, it is said,
Tor the body to bleed enough to form a
pool of blood if Immediately carried off
by the locomotive, and an ugly cut was
discovered under the chin which was
evidently much older than the other
wounds. Again his vest was off and
lay some ways up the track while his coat
remained partially on, Britt was 30
years old, resides in Augusta and has
been employed on the drive this season.

The four doubtful States which four
years ago gave democratic pluralties and
turned the scale against the republicans
are Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey and
New York. The aggregate democratic
plurality in these four States was less
than fourteen thousand; and an exchange
shows that change of five votes in a
thousand in Connecticut, seven in 1ndi-
ana, nine in New Jersey and one vote in
two thousand in New York, would have
given all these States to the republicans.

on down to Caliente, when
the rear car was missed, and
