The Press and Times complains that a

Radical, white or black, ought to respect.
And now, because a man does not wish to
feed those who have wronged him so deep
ly, he is denounced and threatened. There
is something exceedingly absurd and rid
iculous in all this outcry Which is the
most ''proscriptive, to refuse man en-
plOyment because he votes to enslave you.
or to drive him away from the polls and de-
ny to him the exercise of privilege which
is birthright, because he declines to vote
the same way? The vagabond white radi-
Gals persuade the negro to go to the polls
and vote against all Conservatives, to per-
petuate their disfranchisement and exclude
them from all participation iu the govern
ment. These same negroes go to the polls,
insolently bid Conservatives 'get out of the
way" vote for their enemies. who impose
upon them degrading disabilities, and make
them aliens in the land where they we're
born, depriving Them of voice in matters
IN which their property and their lives are
involved. And this most stlrocious and
unprecedented prescription of American
citizens, calls forth not a word of condem-
nation from the Radicals But on the other
hand, this is the great aim of the party, and
when those thus prescribed and outraged
say we will give neither employment, nor
money, nor shelter to those who thua-prove
themselves our deadly enemies, the Radi-
Gals are shocked at tho ''proscriptive" spirit
displayed. Let them correct their own
vices before they become virtuously iudig-
nant et the vices Of others. IF it is un-
just ana prosoFip'ive to refuse man en-
ployment because Of his alliance with

franchise citizen, defraud him of his vote.
deny him the right to choose his own ru-
lers and make his own laws. When the
Radicals cease this sort of prescription,
then they may ask Conservatives to give
bread and butter to negroes. But it is the
very sublimity Of assurance and impudence
for them to demand that Conservatives
should nourish and support the very agents
who are used to inflct upon them the great
est political outrages ever suffered by a
free people.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT Is DuE.-The
Alexandria Gazette is in the habit of copy
inB from our local columns without giving
us credit. OF this we do not complain,
because we consider IL IN evidence of the
good judgment Of that journal that it ap'
Preciates our locals What we do COM
plain Of is that when the Gazette does
give credit it almost invariably gives it to
the paper not entitled to receive it. Thus,
in its Saturdays issue, it copies an article
verbatim, "Closed to Travel" and credits

Gen. Sheridan, last night.

more than merely man who can

talions, and handle an army on the
rough edges of battle. In you the
people honor the glorious model of
the American soldier. (Cheers.) The

machine in the hands of superior

arms has received its true value in

Great applause.) In you they honor
the man whose eagle eye not only
never failed to- seize the decisive
movement in time of battle, but seized
with equal certainty the decisive
points of the great problem Of our
days. Not only as the bold rider of
Winchester and the hero OF the
Shenandoah Valley and the Five
Forks, but as the hero of the Fifth
Military District, General Sheridan,
we welcome you (applause) As an
honest man, sir, you have achieved
triumph not inferior to your ex-
ploits as a soldier. You have not
only shown to the enemies of the
country the inyincibility of your arms,
but the very men who hate you, you
have forced to respect and esteem you
in spite of themselves. Even now

From the New York World, I'd.


The Radical State Committee are making
a desperate effort to raise money to corrupt
the voters of this State. They have de-
manded money from all the notaries public
in the State, assessed the fremen in this
city, the employees Of the Health Board,
sent dunning letters to the merchants and
business men, and are now levying a tax
on the postmasters, stipulating sun which
they must pay, and demanding two per
cent. on the pay Of all the clerks under
them. This demand is made in peremp-
tory manner. In fact they have become so
much in the habit of debating 10 the peos
pie of the Southern States that they seem
10 think that they are really monsrchs, and
have the right to play the dictator over
everybody. All the money that they can
beg or force ont Of the people will not save
them in this State. Even the fortunes they
have made plundering the canals VIII not
be sufficient to prevent their utter rout.
They had better save what they have got TO
pay their expenses on their trip to salt
River. All they spend in this campaign
is only thrown away.

was still as death. l

with wonderful power. The thought
of the wickedness he had commit

to do, darted through his mind like

The generous patronage bestowed
