Generally speaking, the eastern city

 press is systematically putting the

 mines of Colorado and those of Lead

 vile in particular. No one will dis

 pute their right to do this, nor will any well informed person deny that they have been largely instrumental in filling up that section with remark able rapidity. Conflicting reports about the extent of the Leadville mines are now gaining in circulation. Just at this time, the New York Tri- bune sends out correspondents and gets from them reports that the mines are immensely large and rich. The Tribune being devoted to the exclu- sive gold standard of money, it never neglects an opportunity to try to de preciate the value of silver, and if fair opportunity does not present it. self, an unfair one is made for the purpose. Since its correspondents have begun to operate in Leadville, the Tribune sees or thinks it does, an other chance to damage silver, and in an editorial telegraphed few days ago, that paper says "the letters of " our correspondent make it almost ' certain that Colorado is going to " stock the market for silver bullion

 ' heavily for several years to come"

 This is the highth of absurdity, and a ridiculously strained effort to the movement now gain ing Tn England and Germany to re- silver and place it on equal rank with gold. The idea of Colorado heavily stocking the silver bullion market, is an unexpectedly ridiculous assertion for any paper to make in the hope of influencing public opinion, and none will more promptly repu- diate it than the people of Colorado.

THE recent discovery of rich silver ores seven miles this side the Glla and near San Pedro is likely to prove large as well as rich.

In answer to charge alleged to have
been made by Congressman Lowe of Ala
bama in an interview with newspaper re-
porter that Senator Logan, at the beginning
of the war, assisted in the enlistment of men
for the Confederate service, the latter pub
fishes card declaring the statement to be
"maliciously and vllanously false" He
cites the facts to prove the falsity of the
statement, and shows how it was fabricated.
He says in conclusion: II understand that
Col. Lowe claims that this is not a correct
report of what he said to the reporter. II
not, he should correct the statement and
make the reporter responsible for putting a
lie into his mouth. The statement 1 brand
as false and slanderous, and Col. Lowe and
the reporter can settle the question between
themselves as to which one has been guilty
of perpetrating this malicious falsehood."

exercised his rights rs citizen on the side
of that party which had saved the Nation
and secured to him his freedom and his
citizenship. This angered the ex-slave
power, which, after o few years of apparent
acceptance Of the situation, became restless
and turbulent, and through such agencies
as the Ku-Klux, the White-Liners, the rifle
clubs and night rangers they made war not
only upon the Constitutional rights Of the
coi0Tcd race, but inaugurated system and
methods of persecution, cstracism and muir
der against them which have blotted large
page of American history. The black man
has not only been hunted, outraged, killed,
cheated and robbed of his citizenship, but
ofhis property, and even OF his life, for being
a Republican, until, although numerically
the strongest in several of the Southern
States, they have been, through terrorism
and crime, reduced to state and relation
to government and society more abject
than slavery itself


These are the causes which have led to
the exodus, wherever door of escape has
been opened to the colored race in the South,
and in the face of all this the Courier Journal
now pleads in behalf of the Southern
people that they have dealt kindly with
these black people" II il is kindness
to people to tantalize them with free
dom and citizenship that involves no free
dom of action or voting except under the
behests of the Democratic party-if it is
kindness to a citizen to rob him of his badge
of citizenship and drive him from the bal
lot-box with the rifle and shotgun-if it is
q kindness to incarcerate him in prison after
q mock trial for trihing ollense where no
real guilt is involved and thus disfranchiso
him for life-if TO cheat him of his earnings
and despol him of his property is n kind
ness-if it is kindness to the colored
people to treat them in this wise, then
I" the Southern people have dealt kindly
with these colored people," but not with
out; for history is too distinct in its show
ing that all these wrongs, and more that are
moi here recited, have been nheaped upon "the
"cOlored people," to lead them to desire
other localities covered by the Constitution,
where its guarantees are respected, as the
places where they shall build their fu-
ture homes and assert their rights rs citi-

of the Southern people has killed thousands

There can be no doubt now that it was
the purpose of the Democratic leaders in
Maine to overturn the declared will of'the
people, regardless of law, right or justice,
from the day the result of the election in
that State was declared. Notwithstanding
the declared adherence Of the Democrats
for Returning Boards, PGLL.sBURY and GAR
CELoN determined from the start to in
augurate Ret urning Board TO go behind
the returns and rip up things generally
with n hand so high and ruthless that it
would throw the exploits Of MADISON
WELLS and his Board in Louisiana entirely
in the shade. This has been done, undoubt-
edly under the inspiration of Gramercy
Park, and with money gathered from the
Democratic purse outside that State. The
law may perhaps abstractly justify this
overturning of the declared will Of the
people under pretexts set up to make
case, but the pretexts being fiillacious and
wicked, the case must fall to the ground,
and Mr.. GARcELoN and his conspir-
ators must be left without any cloak
for their infamous and unjust proceeding.
The pretext set up for reversing the de-
clared result in the town of Webster,
was that the return had been signed
by one man. Now the selectmen of
that town come forward and make
oath that they each severally signed the
certificate of the election. This knocks
one strong prop from the attempted fraud,
and if the case should be submitted
to judicial arbitrament, undoubtedly many
other equally palpable instances of wrong
would become apparent. Ex-senator NOR
RILL makes very strong and telling APP
peal to GARCELoN to submit the case to
the courts, but the purpose of the latter to
do wrong is no doubt so strongly seated
that he will spurn all appeal in behalf of
justice in the case. The determination 10
despoil the people of their rights under n
revolution ostensibly based upon law, but
which is sustained by the most vile and
shabby pretexts imaginable, may be
carried to the end, and the people may
possibly submit quietly to the result; but if
the party and men engaged in the outrage
expect to escape fitting retribution they
greatly mistake the avenges of time, for
they will surely come. 1t is foul plot to
steal State, and although temporary
advantage may be secured thereby, it will
prove in the end the worst investment ever
yet made by corrupt and people -delying
cabal. The worst consequences to the per-
petrators of this shameless outrage cannot


be avertcd

The Southern people know what IL is to
have large black population. They have
dealt kindly with these black people, who
have been used as the tools Of Northern scala
wag politicians of the Republican faith to per-
secute the Southern whites. They were set
over them as governors and task-masters; told
to plumber and annoy and lie about their
former masters, aud to bear false witness
against them. But out of all this infamy of
Republican dealing the Southern people came
with brave hearts and strong purpose to better
their Ondtion.-LOuisrUe Comier-JOurnal.


1t is scarcely credible that, with a cen
tury of history staring it in the face our
contemporary could have uttered the above
paragraph without being conscious how
great wrong it perpetrated upon the
simple truth. The assumption that the
" Southern people have dealt kindly with
these black people," ten thousand in
stances of hardship, wrong and crime per-
petrated upon these black people" stand
out upon the page Of history to confront
the statement rs q graceless untruth.
Then, again, the plea that they have been
FUSED ns tools of Northern scalawag poll
"ticians of the Republican faith TO perse-
" cute the Southern whites is a declara-
ton made without the shadow of truth
upon which to base it. Once more, the
statement that these black people were
told by the Republicans to plunder and
"annoy and lie about their former masters,
land to bear false witness againt Them" is
sheer preteXt set up now to hide the
wrongs and crimes that their former mas
ters have perpetroted upon these black
people until they are driven to desperation,
and seek relief in emigration


But" says the Courier-Jouraat, the
Southern people came with brave hearts

"black peoples) condition" In the light
of recorded history, written in letters of
outrage aud blood no truth can be found

glance briefly at the story as history tells
it. Among the fruits of a war planted by
the Shareholder to destroy the Union and
oyerturn the Republic came freedom and

The latest complaint against General
GRANT comes from certain class of politi-
cal managers within the ranks of the Re-

grieved because he will not tell them
whether he is candidate or not, or whether
he will accept or decline the nomination If
it should be rendered to him. This silence
leaves them in the lurcb, as they express it,
as regards the claims and chances Of more
pronounced aspirants. In other words,
they fear that if they go on now working

nation Of some other or any other candi-
date, and he does not accept, they may be
counted out in the division of spoils to

The practise is too common among far

weather may be, from the day they are
turned out in the spring until the first

later. Cows are subject to take cold from
