The San joaquin Republican hits the right
nail on the head aud very truthfnlly says:


The Republican party is pre-eminently the
party of capital. Whatever political asss-
tance capital has been able 20 call to its side
in the struggle with labor, has come from the
Republican party. 1t is the Republican par
ty that built up vast monopolies; it is the
Republican party that has created powerful
corporations il is tae Republican party that
has centered immense wealth in the hands of
q few to the impeverishment of the many; il
is the Republican party that has given mil
lions of acres of the peoples land to few
men who gave nothing in return, and it is
the Republican party that is now receiving
The support of every wealthy corporation,
every political monopoly and every subsidy
ring in the country. We mention these facts
because the Republican party Of this State
is just now appealing to the workingmen and
tradesmen for their votes at the approaching
election. 1t appears to US that the appeal
should be permitted TO pass unheeded. The
claims of the Republican party on the work
ingmen of California are not strong, and we
cannot understand upon what ground they
are preferred. During the period of Republi-
can dominancy, the petition of the laborers
for reduction of the hours of toll were un-
answered. 1t was the Republican party that
voted heavy tax on the people for the bene-
fit of the builders of the Central Pacific Rail-
road, and the money was paid out for Chi
nese labor. 1t is the Republican party that
has always advocated the advantages of Chi
nese labor. 1t is the Republican party that
has always fought down every attempt to
check Chinese immigration to this country.
1t is tie Republican party that has le.ied n
heavy duty on the staple products which
every laboring man consumes, and left the
luxuries of the rich comparatively untaxed


1t is the Republican party that has always
pursued policy for the Capitalization of
wealth-of making the rich richer and the poor
poorer, and it is the Republican party that
has never been. and from the very nature of


its principles never can be, the poor mans
friend. A party that has encouraged Chinese


immigration, advocated system of cheap labor
and taxes the people for the benefit of cor
poration that uses the money thus gathered
from the white workingman in the employ
ment of coolie slave labor, ought not TO re-
ceive the support of California's workingmen.
They canrot give it their support without
jeopardizing their own interests.

OUR Mcdowell correspondent refers to the conduct of the Pima Indians and what Is liable to ensue, If that con- duct be not checked or changed for the better. White men would not be permitted to act as the Pimas have been doing without the severest pun ishment. We believe Indian agent Stout is anxious to preserve peace with the Pimas, and all our reports agree that the citizens of Saltriver are, likewise; but patience has limit, and those in authority should use every effort in their power to stop acknowl- edged outrages which have gone on too long, and in spite of all pleas to the contrary will bring bloody fruit if not stopped.

We often indulge the wish that we could
have lived in the days Of Christ, have seen
Him and listened to Him, and we are vain
enough to think We should have been meek
and owy disciples and received His teachings
with willing hearts. But human nature is
the same now as then, and we should have no
reason to believe that we would have been any
better than the Jews 1t is to be feared that
were Christ now on earth He would meet
with but cold reception from many who
claim Him as their friend. Are our homes
such as lie would enioy9 Should we really
wish Him a member Of our households


Did you ever try to imagine Jesus Christ
guest in your house, as He used TO be in
the house Of Mary and Martha and Lazarus
Did you ever think Of Him as entering your
doorway with a pleasant word of greeting,
taking your profered seat, and gathering the
happy group Of little ones, who know and
love Him dearly about Him; placing the
youngest on His knee, and folding his arms
around them all2 Did you ever think Of
Him as sitting down at your table aud partak-
ing Of your fare, interesting Himself in all
the little pursuits that rightly demand your
attention, and sweetly drawing your mind
through them, up to the hand that overrules
even the most triAing concerns Would you
ike to have Jesus thus make one Of your
number at all times Would it be exactly
agreeable to have Him by your side ssme
morning when your affairs had been particu-
larly entangled, when your servants had been
especially provoking or your business plans
thwarted Would you be willing to 60 on
with your accustomed conversation in the
home circle giving religion only the place it
usually occupies


Would it be such conversation as Jesus
would join in with pleasure Would you
like to have Jesus Christ stand by your side
all day in your place Of business, noting your
thoughts as well as your words while you are
dealing with others Are you willing he
should know precisely how much of His money
you spend for His cause, and how much goes
to idle adornings, which He has bid you avoid
Would you like to ask your Lord to 90 with
you to the social party, and make one of the
throng Of merry makers? Are you quite
sure it would be congenal to His tastes and
feelings?


Oh, remember that Christ is there with
you whether you realize it or not. Ia the

Gen. Wade Hampton, in q letter ad-
dressed to the editor of the Southern
Home, expresses the opinion that the
South should not take part in the next
National Democratic convention for the
following reasons:


Frst-Southern delegates to the Ma
tional convention could exercise no iniu-
ence in shaping the policy of making up
the issues, or in selecting the candidates
for the next contest, without seriously
injuring the prospects of a Democratic
triumph; that this would inevitably be
the case, is proven by the result of the
last Democratic convention, where the
very presence of Southerners was used to
prejudice the action and defeat the can
didstes of the party. sr.


2. If Southern delegates could not,
with propriety, exert any influence in the
convention, while their mere attendance
in it might result in infinite mischief to
the Democratic party, it is surely the
part of wisdom to refrain from participat-
ing in the deliberations of the conven-
ton.


8. The Northern Democrats will have
to bear the burthen of the fight in the
next Presidential contest, and it is only
right that they should choose the field
and select the standard bearers. -.s.a

The infamy Of what is known as the
'force BILL or law, is apty illustrated in the
following recital of a case under it in a sis
ter State: "In Louisville one Robert Henson
has been convicted, in the United States
Court, under the Congressional Election
law, of having forced a colored man, named
White, to vote for Congressional candidate
against his will. The evidence produced on
the trial was of a singularly contradictory
character. Two witnesses swOre that they
saw White being hustled up to the polling
place by Henson and othe rs; that loud words
were used, and that White, on being asked for
whom he wanted to vote, said he supposed he
must vote for Adams, who was the Demo-
cratic candidate. For the prisoner two
witnesses swore that White was told to
vote as he wished, and he should be pro-
tected; and one Of these testified to hear
ing the accused himself tell While 10 vO Ie
according TO his sentiments. The victim of
the alleged intimidation was the n put on
the stand, and swore that Henson had
neither threatened to influence him, but
that the colo-ed people had threatened to
have him sent to prison if he did not vote
the Republican ticket; that he voted for
Adams. who lived in the same town with
him, because he wanted to; that ne was
afraid of the cJlored people if he voted the
Democratic ticket, and of the Democrats if
he voted the Republican ticket. On this
evidence the judge returned a verdict of
guilty against Henson, on the supposition,
probably, that the colored voter did not
know his own mind"

New York, Nov. "a Washington
special to the Herald says that Attorney
General Akerman had long conference
yesterday with the Secretary of State and
afterward with the President. The subject
of the interview was the Ku-KluX question,
involving the punishment of the persons
recently arrested in South Carolina, and
perhaps the promulgation of a new procla-
nation. 1t is asserted by those who ought
to know something of the character OF the
information communicated from time to
time to the Executive, that he has much
more direct knowledge on the subject than
even that possessed by the Congressional
Committee. Gentlemen of high character,
formerly officers in our army, who were and
are even now living in the South, having
learned through their supposed Democratic
sympathizers important facts relative to the
secret purposes of this organization, have
made him acquainted with the true nature
of the danger.


1t will be shown when the facts all come
out that the Ku-KluX in South Carolina
have been largely furnished with arms from
Northern sources; that even large part of
the shipment from the arms-manufacturing
companies of the North, especially of New
York, for the last two years will be shown
to be on account of a great activity in the
Southern trade. 1t IS the opinion of the
Administration, and those who sustain its
policy of repression, that it is the design of
the invisible empire to attempt repoSSesSion
by the old Rebel elements first of the sew
eral Southern States, by the Generalization
through terror, outrage and murder Of the
party sustaining reconstruction and its re
suits; and second by similar means, but
more general and systematic in character, to
force every Southern State to vote against
the Republican President nominated, and
thus restore to them the control of their
local and State affairs, and The Inauguration
of their party associates in the government.

ON THE FARM.
From early morn till dewy eve
We WELD the plough and hoe;
Amidst the pleasing tolls we leave
Our thoughts Of care and woe;
We trust no fortune but we make
Whatever luck we covet,
We ask no favors-neither take
Our labor, yes we love it.
From early morn till dewy eve
We WELD the scythe and rake;
And ask no better lot TO have
Than health and toiling make.
Amid the sunshine and the shower,
Amid the rain and sleet;
Mind with muscle is the power,
That all our wants well meet.
From early morn till dewy eve
We toll and gather in;
We have no heaps Of wealth to gricve-.
Such as the rich men win.
But cows, and bees, and heathful fruits,
And treasures of the soil;
Kind nature contributes,
The sure reward Of earnest toll.
