WHY THEY DID IT," Many of the ne
groes voted with u.s." telegraphed the
Chairman of the Alabama Democratic
State Committee TO Senator Eaton. 1t
is pity that the dispatch was not lit
tie fuller, and gave some Of the reasons
which induced the negroes to vote yith"
the party to which they owed nothing
and from which they could hope for moth
ing. 1t would be interesting to know
whether these negroes voted that way Of
their own free will, or whether they sim
ply had the choice Of voting with u.s."
or not voting at all


The States of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and North
Carolina gave, in 1872, heavy majorities
for Grant. Allowing some difference in
the Democratic vote for the disgust felt
by the Bourbon element of the party at
the nomination of an old line Republican
it will be seen that each of these States
have changed front. VIII any sane



of a change of sentiment Hardly. 1t is
true, that in the elections of 1874 there
was a remarkable falling of in the Re-
publican vote everywhere. But this was
not Democrative triumph but merely
a Republican defeat. And we question if
the people are entirely satisfied with
their own actions since the Confederate
Hous has shown how little its party Is
capable to govern the country.


We think the reason why the negroes
" voted with us " would be found hardly
oreditable to Democracy if they were full
ly known. The negroes know well enough /.
that the only guardian OF their rights of
manhood and citizenship is the Repubi-
can party. Small the colored represent
ative from South Carolina, explained it /.
all when he said to a Democrat who was |
boasting Of the 1lct. "Take away your
Xuklux, and not one Of them will vote
with you. But how the negroes came to
vote with us, the Alabama Chairman .

The mission OF the Republican party,
they tell us, 'is not ended until human
life Is as safe in every portion OF the
South as it is in the North" The Chi
cago Tribune says terrorism exists
In Illinois from which women and
children cannot be protected by their
husbands and fathers" The Philadel-
phia Press informs us that "tramps
and vagrants swarm through the
country everywhere. Some Of them are
really unable to get work at any price,
and are obliged to beg Others would
work II they could be employed at their
favorite occupation and at their own
wages, but failing In these they take to
burglary and robbery as naturally as
duck to water. In such times every
farm house, as well as every city dwell
ing, should be protected by firearms.
Eternal vigilance and a readiness to
resort to arms when necessary, are the
price of other things beside liberty--life
and property, for instance" Senator
Cameron stated the other day in the
Senate that crime was so speedily pun
ished In Pennsylvania that perfect
security existed. His organ tells us that
burglary and robbery are SO prevalent
that it Is necessary for the people to
keep good supply Of firearms on hand.
The "mission"of the Republican party
should be applied to Northern States as

Chamberlain as Governor of South Car

Assembly by means of military power
and to reinforce Ruger with additional
troops. If this state of affairs goes OIL.
another war cannot be averted; but the
first blow will not come from the South.
1t will come from the free and enlight-
ened people of the North, who will not
be robbed of the fruits of a justly
earned victory. The scheme of impeach-
ing Grant has fallen through, not be-
cause he does not deserve it, but be-
cause the Southern Democrats are the
only conservative ones in the party.
They want to leave the case to the good
sense of the Northern people, and if
Grant knows when he is we'll off, he
will withdraw the troops from South
Carolina and allow Hampton to be in
augurated, as he was elected. The time
may come when the Southern conserv-
atives will be unable to hold the North

~ Elopement That Was Not RossoMtio.


The quiet of this place, saysa Claymont
correspondent, has been somewhat ruffled
the past few days by the recital of an event
that had its beginning in all the novelties of
q romance, but found a denouement In the
ridiculous. A young man here has been en-
amoured of a young lady, of fair education
and personal attractions of no mean order.


His affections met with reciprecation, and
as her father would not for an ins ant coun-
tenance marriage between them, an
elopement was the first thing that suggested
itself to the two. and on very dark night
very recently he handed syIph-like form
down from ladder that found its termina-
tion at her bed room window. At Church
mans Wharf boat was moored, and into
this the stalwart young man helped the
fair one, and with one splash of the oars the
craft sped rapidly out into the stream. But
a sudden change came over the happiness of
this dream. The young lady repcnted what
she had done, and insisted upon being taken
back to her papa. The young man, hardly
able to realize the sudden change, begged
and implored her to fly with him, and they
would be made man and wife, but the young
lady remained firm to her purpose to return

quest, and this he did, though with consid-
cradle reluctance. The cold gray Of day was
just breaking in the horizon, and when they
had landed, and were proceeding up
Churchman street to the home of the young
lady, the figure of man was
seen advancing with shot gun on his
shoulder, who proved to be the father of
the young lady. He had gotten up early,
and seeing a ladder In very unusual way
against the house, concluded that that lad
der didn't grow there, aud he went to the
top of 1t and found where 1t led to, and
that the fair one of eighteen summers and
winters was not there. Then it IVES he

question of the enfranchisement of
woman, and to think of the treatment

distrust the currentl Intelligence. But
there need be no discouragement. All
the undeveloped forces of the future are
on her side, and no error or wrong exists
to-day that is not doomed to extinction.
