process which his company put in
last fall, and one needs but look at
his beaming countenance to see that
it has been a great success. His
report will be made public in short
time. If the camp takes a boom
this fall, and we fairly believe it
will, most of the credit will be due
to the pluck and determination of
Mr.. Long. Negotiations are now
pending for the sale of the Tahoma.

made the new company will begin
operations Immediately. and if it is
not made his own company intend

Ex.SIave Pensions.

people, now living, who we're freed
by the proclamation of President
Lincoln in 1868. is evidently in.
Tended for nothing more tiian a
demagogic plea to hold the negro
vote to the Republican party. In
some places in the Southern
States the negroes, In considera-
BILE numbers, have commenced
voting with the white Democrats,
and others of them decline to vote
or to take any part in party poll
ties, seeing that there is no great
difference in the fate of the color
ell man, no matter IL the Repub-
licans or Democrats happen to be
in power. The pretense of per-
sioning all the ex.slaves, giving
them from % to s12 month, will
be doomed to fearful degree for
the campaign this fall, but it will
end on par with the old Repub.

Lawyers I'm Politics.

Lawyers, by reason Of special
education and training in and for
their profession, have an advan.

are brought up to other avoca.
tons, in the matter Of proper
qualifications for public place and
office; aud for this reason, per.
haps, an overwhelming majority
of the political ofiices are filled by
lawyers. This always has been,
is now, and perhaps always will
Be- true. The lawyers of the
United States are, SO to speak, the
c@cs shielding class by custom, "a
mnch SO as the gentry class in
England are bylaw or inheritance.
This fact has engendered a wide.
spread public prejudice against
lawyers for public place, so much
so that In some neighborhoods
lawyers are prescribed and ostra.
cIsed for no other offense than
that they are lawyers.
The old Democratic idea is. land
IT Is the besD that no class is born
TO any inherent right to Office, or
should be preferred or opposed
by reason Of bis calling. A good
man, and well qualified, will make
a good officer, no matter IL he be
a lawyer, doctor, farmer, mechau.
ic, laborer, or an unpretentious
printer; and the reverse is true if
he be a bad man, and not qualified.
The profession Of law 10 crowded
with fools and ignoramuses, and
yet all know and admit that some
oe the greatest minds aud best Of
men in this and all other countries
are lawyers. The moral of this is;
Vote for good men and qualified
men, no matter what the calling in
life.

THE FOnCE BILL.
To Make the south Re-
publican.

No intelligent, fair. minded man,
no matter whether he Ia a Demo.
crat or Republican, doubts for a
moment that tho real object of the
Federal Election Bill, now pend.
ing in Congress, is to force certain
Congressional Districts In the
South to apparently elect Repub.
leans, aud thus perpetuate a Re-
publican majority in Congress.
This proposed election law is,
in truth, but a reproduction OF the
bayonet rule in the South. IL APP.
points a swarm of United States
Election Supervisors, with author.
ity to supervise the voting, and
to supervise the counting of the
votes, with the positive rule that
their count is TO be the credentials
Of admission at the opening OF
Congress. Under this law, elec-
lions will be a ridiculous farce, or,
perhaps, In some places convert.
ed inte bloody tragedies.
OF course, in order 80 scme jus
titication for thus falsely and cor.
ruptiy counting in lot of Repub.
lican Congressman from Southern
Districts, they will have to keep
mp a fierce sectional howl, and cry
aloud against "bloody rebels, !"
"ballot.box stuffing," oppression
Of the poor negro" &c. Unless
they keep up this sectional and
race excitement, the brave and
fair.minded people Of the great
Northern States could not be
blinded to their own corrupt deal.
iDgs With these elections. But, II
they can keep up this Hcree howl,
they hope not only to steal some
Congressman from the South, but
the excitement Of war issues viii
may be, give them gains in the
North. Atall events 1t will divert
the attention of the country from
the consideration of economic
questions, and force the lighting
this fall on war issues. True
enough, it will retard the prosper
ity OF the whole country; ii will
help to perpetuate sectional ep.
nifty and race troubles, and per,
baps cause a few thousand white
Southerners and colored South.
erners TO be slaughtered, but what
is all this to the necessity of keep.
ing the Republican party in pos.

The COURIER believes that the
reaction against such an extreme
policy will come, and come just as
surely as it did some years ago
against the Reconstruction Policy;
aud when it does come. it will be
terrific ss~sass tho Reraelie;fas,
In other words, the enforcement
OF this Infamous law will gain the
Democrats as much in the North
as is stolen from them In the South.
