Ex-Gov. Orr, of South Carolina,
having been interviewed by the 1Fi-
Jtnle reporter, expressed the following
view of the general effect of the Fif-
teenth Amendment on the South:


O. Allow me to ask, Governor,
what is likely TO he the operation OF
the Fifteenth Amendment throughout
the south?


A. 1t is my belief that, in a few
years, Congress viii find that they
have put into the hands Of the south
Il twO-edged sword that with which
they intend to deprive the white man
of power has only doubled At. And
should the question of repeating the
clanse be raised, its strongest OppO-
nents will then be those who live
south of Mason and DiXOn's line. So
identical viii the interests of the two
races have eventually becOme-all
local causes of irritation being remOV-
ed-that the South will go into a ma
tiOnal contest with all her armOT on,
carrying with her the balance OF
power, and the ability TO determine
every vexed question of National poll
ties. Ideas do not always culminate
i'm day, or a generation, and We can
well afford TO await the issue, know
ing that mind will at last triumph
over muscle, and secure for US, as a
people united, without respect to col
or, all the rights 10 which we are en-
titled. In other words, New England
will not always dictate to us from the
floor of Congress, and the North gen
orally will not enjoy the blessings OF
partial legislation. In this light,
looking To the future for results,
think we should be grateful for the
Fifteenth amendment.

Many good horses devoul
large quantities Of grain Or hay,
and still continue thin and poor;
the food eaten is not properly
assimilated. If the usual feed
has been unground grain, moth
ing but a change will effect any
desirable alteration in the ap-
pearance Of the animal. In
case oil meat can not be OBJ
tanned readily, mingle a bushel
of flax seed with a bushel of
barley, one of oats and another
bushel of Indian corn, and let
it be ground into fine NEAL
This will be q fair proportion
for all his feed. Or the meal
or the barley, oats and corn, in
equal quantities, may first be
procured, and one.fourth part
of oil cake mingled with it,
when the meal is sprinkled on
cut feed. Feed two or three
quarts of the mixture two or
three times daily, mingled with
a peck cut hay and straw. If
the horse will eat that greedily,
let the quantity be gradually
increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding
three times day. So long as
the animal will eat this allow
ance, the quantity may be in
creased a little every day. But
avoid the practice Of allowing
a horse to stand at a rack well
filled with hay. In order to
fatten a horse that has run
down in flesh, the groom should
be very particular to feed the
animal no more than he will
eat up clean, and lick his man

The platform of principles


upon which the Democracy OF


Ohio enter the campaign will
attract the liberal minded
reasoner as eminently worthy
of endorsement and adoption
by the people of the State
Upon all the live questions

timately affect the financial and
social interests of every one,
the platform is bold and clearly
expressive. Unlike Radical
similar enunciations of princi-
piles and intent it is not suscep-
tible Of different constructions,
and should the party succeed,
the doctrines set forth as our
creed will be carried out so
far as practicable, 1t clearly
defines Federal and State pow
ers, and their original proper
and natural relation. The Rad
ical tariff oppression, internal
revenue swindle, and land mo-
nopolies, the injustice Of the
exemption Of the bonds from
taxation, the national bank
system and the Infamous act
providing for Federal interfer-
ence in our State elections, is
denounced and condemned in
positive language. These are
the grave issues in this canvass
and upon which the Democracy
occupy no doubtful ground,
but take issue squarely with
the party that originated, enac-
tea ana now defend.


Let the voter read, reflect
and reason, for upon such dis
passionate, calm reasoning and
reflection do we expect to tri-
umph. The bonded and man
ufacturing wealth is alrayed
against the Democratic party,
heartless and grinding capital
against labor, the interest of
the millions who toll and pro-
duce against the inhuman ex-
actions Of the moneyed aristoc-
racy.


Silver-tongued demagoguery
has had its day-it has played
upon the credulity Of the peo-
pie at their cost to that extent
that in all reason it would seem
the lie and cheat would now
be Indignantly secuted. 1t is
not expected that the leaders
Of Radicalism, the aristocratic
moneyed dpower, will yield their
facilities for accumulating and
widening gthe Financial difference
between themselves and the pro.
ducing class without a desperate
struggle. AS usual they will
fly their beautiful, dazzling
and many colored kites, embla-
zoned with the veriest lies and
deceptions, to enchant or catch
the votes Of the unwary. They
are sufficiently dishonest and
dishonorable for this business,
and have the money to do it,
and which will be a good in
vestment to them should they
win: But what say you, men?
Shall it be said that you have

Take the pillows from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtains, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam Of day.
Spread the pail upon the table,


Place the liteless body there;
Back from of the marble features
Lay the auburn curls with care.
With its little blue-veined fingers


Crossed upon its sinless breast
Free from care, and pain and anguish,
Let the infant cherub rest.
Smooth its little shroud about it:


Pick its toys from off the floor;
They, with all their sparkling beauty,
Ne'er can charm their owner more.
Take the little shoes and stockings
From the doting mothers sight
Pattering feet no more will need them,
Walking in the fields Of light.
Parents, faint and worn with watching
Through the long dark night Of grief,
Draw your tears and soothe your signing
Gain a respite Of relief.
Mother, care is no more needed


To allay the rising moan;
And though you, perchance may leave 1t,
1t can never be alone.
Angels bright will watch beside it
Inits quiet, holy slumber,
Till the morning then awake it


To place among their number.

In the chain of earthly bliss,

WASHINGTON, November l9.-Secre-
tary Fish said yesterday that recent
news from Europe indicates that Russia
is really in earnest in her endeavors to
abrogate the provisions Of the treaty of
1856, which relates to the neutrality Of
the Black sea, but thinks war will not
inevitably follow. He thinks it possible
and quite probable that the result will
be peace congress of all the great
powers of Europe, at which not only the
Eastern question but possibly the Prus-
sian and French war question may be
settled. Under existing circumstances,
however, the future Of Europe is
purely problematical and there
may be occult influences at
work which may produce aston
ishing and unexpected results. In
the event of peace congress it is not
certain that the existing government in
France will be disturbed or destroyed.
The strength of the new republic lies
with the people themselves, and for
tuitous peace without cession OF territory
will be an equivalent to guarantee
OF its future existence. The empire is
at an end, and the only government that
can follow the republic is kingdom.


Our communications with France are
at present very brief.


Minister Berthenay is recognized here
as the legitimate and only responsible
representative OF the French govern
ment.


Minister Washburne has been
used by our. government as a
medium Of communication for i'm
portant matters, but Notwithstanding
the length of the war there have been
few subjects of Importance requiring
his mediation. His recognition OF the
French Republic is not premature but
in pursuance Of orders, and his present
course is thoroughly in accordance with
the wishes OF the administration. The
e lection OF the Duke of Aosta to he
king OF Spain will not materially alter
the Cuban policy. Spain though slow
in diplomacy in other respects is quick
TO accept war, and the future OF
Cuba is not worth a war to the
United States.


The policy Of England toward her
Provinces has always been Just
and continues to be honorable.
General Buffers scheme for the
annexation Of Canada as an in
cident to the settlement OF the Ala
bama claims, as detailed in his Lowell
letter simply means war, for England
would not submit to it without a
struggle. The Alabama claims must
and will be settled at the proper time,
perhaps very soon Themain objections
to the Johnson-Clarendon treaty was
that private claims were included in
the protocol. The Alabama claims are
held bv the United States to be Of high
er importance and more grave dig
nity than private claims because
they involve important questions
of international law which cannot be
settled by any ordinary convention or
mixed claim commission, such as is
required for the adjustment of the latter.
In regard to the threatened rupture in
the Republican party, the Secretary
said the revenue reformers claim more
than they can prove, and the reduction
of the public debt together with re,
duction of taxation will satisfy the
people better than glitterirg promises,
which an investigation shows cannot
be fulfilled. Senator Schurz is an able
man, but if he still professes to be a
