The negro preachers were the frat to sub

Malone, and have been his main reliance
ever since. His chief dependence Is upon
them for the maintenance of q solid negro
vote. 1t is stated on republican authority
that one of them at least, Fields Cook BY

aolidifying them in this city. But, all the
negroes on one side should certainly be suf-
ficient of itself alone to put ell reputable

We know that those who resort to what the President terms Ia per- nicious expedient" must themselves suffer from its exercise. They who live by perversion of the law will suffer from the laws perversion, Nor is 1t denied for a moment that it is desirable that all elections shall be free and pure, in every part of the country or that the freedom of the ballot-in a normal state of things-is the condition of nation al life. But the Republican party thrust upon the South millions of voters who were unfit to exercise the privilege when 1t was conferred upon them, and who are, with cOm- paratively few exceptions; unfit to exercise to-day the highest right of the freeman. Itis not wise or states manlike, therefore to expect the peo- pie of the Southern States, upon whom the terrible burden was put, to act in defiance of their own in- terests, or to surrender tamely, iii obedience to i'll advised legislation, the right to which the Declaration of Independence proclaims to be
 their Own-tho right to life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness. There are everywhere in the Southern States, and especially in South Car olina thoughtful and liberal men who feel that there is a stain upon the SoGth's reputation, and who desire to remove it. They who earn estly wish that elections shall be in- contestablY pure are net few in number or small in influence. But they are helpless when any policy proposed which would subject the white people of the State to negro rule, and this would be the result of the impartial execution of such an election law as President Harri- son seems to consider wise and pro- per,-Charleston News and Courier.

Harrison and the 0fice.SeekeTs.

There are several thousand Re- publican ofice-seckers in Washing ton. The rush is said to be worse than it was in 1885, when the Dem ocrats came into power, after being out for quarter ofa century. Mir. Harrison's lot is certainly not en- tirely' a happy one,
 The Washington dispatches con tain an ingenious plan devised by Senator Farwell of Illinois for the division of the spells of office among all the States. Unfortu- nately for the success of this plan, 1t is diametrically in opposition to the civil service plank of the Repub- lican platform, to the Republican criticism of Cleveland's course, and to President Harrison's personal views, very plainly expressed in his inaugural, and since reiterated.
 MT. Harrison has expressed his determination to live strictly up to the civil service idea, as far as tEe subordinate offices are concerned. He is known to have 6 will of his own, and may be relied upon to car " out his views. In this cOnnec- ton, it may be interesting to learn some statistics as to the politics Of the subordinate oficeholders, at the end of Cleveland's term. Here they are, as given by a San Francis co paper: Treasury-1230 Repub- licans, with $1, ,885,000 ann4al pay, and 40 Democratic appointments. with $878,340 annual pay.

Baltimore, March 12-JameS A. Campbell, e%-Justice ofthe Supreme Court of the United States and As sistant Confederate Secretary of War, died in this city this afternoon, aged nearly seventy-eight.
 James A. Campbell was a native of Alabama and was born in 1911. He ascended the Supreme Bench in 1858 by appointment of President Pierce, succeeding Justice John Me Kinley of the same State. He served until 1861, the time of the break ing out of the war, when he resign ed to embark his fortunes with the Confederacy.

PEOPLE who pay their honest debts without the aid of compul sorry measures, are deuced few and devilish scattering.
 That individual who is honest from an inborn principle of his na- ture, is one who pays every cent of that which he owes, even where there is no cinch against him. Such a person, being neithersa thief or murderer, from a principle of hon. esty and right, is without doubt the truest type of manhood, and "the noblest work of God" On the oth- CT hand, the natural born thief and murderer, though he may abstain all his life from committing either of these crimes, is yet at heart a thief and murderer still. Just so with the man who does not or will not pay hIs debts, without force of law, or who tries to bilk his neigh Dor, he is a natural thief if not something worse the thievish prin- ciple is there, and were 1t not for his fear of the law, coupled with his cowardly nature, he would knock down his neighbor in the street, and rob him then and there. AS 8 general rule, however, thanks to an All-wise Providence, all thieves are coWardly by nature, and for that matter, so also are all murderers :; and, as an indisputable proposition, the man who tries to defraud his neighbor out of his just dues, is really more cowardly than either the thief or murderer; for such an one, through his fear of the law, will sneak around and by hypocrit- ical protestations, worm himself into the confidence of his neighbor, with the preconceived purpose of bilking the man who befriends him. Is there anything in all na- ture, more contemptible than such a character?

TIE Republican party of Arizona is about as harmonious as were the traditional Kilkenny Kats. And, in the matter of harmony, it is safe to say that our Territorial Demo cratic party is placidly trotting along side, neck and neck, so to speak, with the g. o. p.
 Why is this, and what it's cause?
 Is it, that the people generally are too intelligent to be any longer led by the proboscis? Or, are they too independentto allow themselves to be voted, bartered and sold, by the rascally politicians,li like So many sheep?
 If intelligence is the root of this evil to politicians, then farewell for ever to that vicious state of boss ism in the United States. On the other hand, if this inharmony is simply the outgroWth of quarrels amongst the politicians, fostered by the blind indifference of the intelii- gent masses in matters of govern mental policies, and is to take the place of independent intelligence, then truly the Republic is surely approaching it's certain dissolution as republic of and for the people ,
 With a few more years of corrupt bossisn, with it's scandalous meth ods Of buying up the electoral votes of States, the United States Senate will not bother itself monkeying with the electoral vote, but like it's prototype of ancient Rome, will mount the forum and sell for plum der-at first, the Presidency of the United States; and afterward, in imitation of the Pretorian guards, sell the entire government at pub lie auction to the highest bidder for cash.
 What the remedy, if any, tol these and other forthcoming evils? Is there in the land a Themothete able and willing to solve this most difficult problem?

The Republican fanatic regards the average Democrat, if not exact ly as a foreigner, at least as a sort of political outcast, 8 citizen who should be disfranchised, a resident whom it would be well to expatriate. Scarcely any attempt is made to dis guise this sentiment. It. finds the most unrestrained expression in Congress, in the State Legislatures and in almost all the regular organs of the Republican party. Ofcourse, this sort of thing is not likely to inspire the Democracy with a feel ing of tender and afectionate con- sideration towards their political opponents. The consequence is the almost daily recurrence of savage and vindictive debate in the two Houses of Congress, and occasion ally the fires of partisan and sec- tional hate blaze up uncontrollably even in the committee rooms.-N. o.

Remarkable Results.

Douglas Gray, one of the experts sent to examine the great gold strike at Harqua Hala, to-day received from the Grand Central mill at Tombstone areport of result of the assay of 800 pounds of ore sent to that city for test. From the Golden Mountain, or Bonanza mine, three specimens were tested, one of which ran as high as S504.35 to the ton; ; one $292.S6, and another $231.50. One specimen from the Golden Era assayed $210.84, and one from the Golden Star SIPS .94. The ore ta- ken to San Francisco by pr. Stein burn and Mir. c. 4. Ball was a du- plicate of the ore from which this result was made. The ore from the Golden Mountain was taken from a depth of forty feet and was found to be even richer than the ore near CT the surface. The Era and Gold en Star near by had not been devel- oped to any extent, but the results have been very satisfactory. The samples from these mines show an average of $27450 Der ton in gold. and the carbonates run as high as 36 per cent. in lead, but do not contain much silver.-Ph9nix Her ald
