Before the war the Republican party

peals to their sympathies—appeals made

found a response abroad as well ss in
tbs hearts of many of the people in the
Bott-alaveholdiog Slates of the Union.

It is reported in Philadelphia, that the
owners of the steamship Great Eastern
are deliberating about sending 5,000 pas
sengers over in her, to l*» fed and housed
on board during the Centennial Exhibi

teems to think that the chances are in fa
vor of the election of Dawes to tbs United
States Senate for the foil term, succeed

doubt prefer Charles Francis Adams.
The Supreme Court of Tennessee, in
session at Knoxville, has decided that a
man owning land on a river hank, any
where, has a right to establish a wharf

is that the wharfage at the latter is gen

The States of Oregon, Arkansas, Geor

Alabama and Tennessee send only one

Thb Montgomery Journal takes comfort
in the fact that though no Republican was
elected to any offico in Delaware, the
whipping-poat and pillory still prevail
there. Perhaps the whipping-post and
pillory contributed materially to the Dem
ocratic *■‘dean sweep,” by preventing
fraudulent voting, repeating, “and Rich.”
Thb grand jury of Bibb county think
that the common schools of the county
oost too much money, and recommend a
restriction by law of the tax to an eighth
of a cent on the dollar. The Telegraph
<t Messenger says that this, it acted upon,
will prove virtually a return to the Poor
School system which prevailed before the
war. It we have a system of education
at all, we should have a good one, find as
little tinkering with it as possible. Where
a sohetue has been put in operation, it
should be given s fair trial before being
abandoned.
Wb learn by a dispatch from Boston,
7th, that on Wednesday lsat Dr. Ayer was
burned in effigy in the town of Ayer,
which was named after him. In condem
nation thereof a numerously attended
oitixena' mooting was hold, when depre
catory resolutions wero passed.
This incident, and the letting down of
a spoon over Butler's head while he was
speaking, convince ns that tho Ku-klnx
have overran Massachusetts, sure enough.
By-the-way, it strikes us that Ku-kluxistn
in this country had its origin in a little
tea party,in Boston harbor about one
hundred years ago.
CAN SUU TUI NUN BET
The papers speak of plots and counter
piota by which each of tho two great po
litical parties will nook to circumvent the
otbor when the next Congress meets. It
is said (or conjectured) that the Radicals
will get Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the
House, not to put the names of the Huuth-
era Representatives elect on the roll,*ao
as to exclude them at tho organization—
this on the ground of intimidation or Ku-
Klnx. We cannot credit this. It would
bo ineffectual even if attempted,
for tho Dcmooruta will havo a
majority of the Northern as well
as the Bouthorn Ueproseutstlvos, and enu
overrule tha Clerk, oven if the latter is
backed by a resolution or aot passed by
the prosent Congress. The constitutional
provision that “eaoh Uouso shall be the
judge of tho elections, returns and quali
fications of its own members," cannot be
overridden in that way, and any party at.
temptiog it wonld not only be defeated in
the game, hut would incur tho ooutempt
of tho people.
Almoat equally reprehensible is a de
sign attributed (falsely wo believe) to the
Detuooratic majority in tho Ifouso, which
is to obtain n two third* majority in that
body by giving aaata to all Democrats who
may contest tho oloction of Uadioals.
This is precisely whst Radical Congresses
have been doing for tho last nix or eight
yetm. They have refused seats to Dem
ocrats who were elected by cloar majori
ties of 2,000 or ovon ft,000 votes, and nn-
Jnstly put Radical contestants
their seats. But if tho Demo
cratic party expects to maintain
Ita aacendancy in the Ilonne, it must avoid
and repudiate the frnmln and oorrnpttomi
by which tho Radicals lost the confidence
of tho peoplo; it must practice hoiunty
instead of obicanery and injustice. We
feel well assured that with tho restoration
of the Democracy to power in the House
will couio a returu to tho good old prac
tice of awarding seats only to membors
fairly and legally elected, without respect
to their political affiliations.
—Miss Belle Boyd (or the lady so-called
whoiu the Atlanta Aetm pronounced nn
impostor the other day) “went for” Mr.
Abrams of tho Netrs on Tuesday after
noon. She demanded a retraction, which
Mr. Abrams refused to make. She then
eess is as much attributable to the panic
of 1867 during Buchanan's administration,
as to any fixed principles of free soil, or
emsneipstion. It is a fact that no politi
cal party in power ever survived a finan
cial crash, or£the failuro of its financial
policy. During the war the people of
the Union, like those of the floutb,
ceased to bo partisan, and for the
once rose to the dignity of patriots,
but the day the war closed
party lines were drawn, and strange as it
may seem, many Confederates laciar
Republicans, and hosts of able soldiers
North at once resumed their old positions
in the ranks of the Democratic party. An
unprejudiced observer examining the
cause of this can assign good and patri
otic reasons for the presumed change in
the footings of men who, on tho battle
fields, were foes. The Conservative Con
federates became Republicans; the Com
aervative Fedorals became Democrats,and
each went to an inconsistent extreme
when freed from the military obligation.
It is a great misfortune that parties did
not chango their nemos st the doso of
the wsr, for with Us termination new
isaues rose, and new parties should have
met them. This, however, was not the
case. The dawn of peace saw the Repub
lican party in power, its elected head as
sassinated, and a strong-willed, but nar
row-minded mau in tho executive chair.
Hot with the passions of war, the Union
party forgot to be magnanimous, and to
gratify party hate they placed the chains
that had fallen from the ox-slave
the limbs of tho heroic van
quished. They forgot that two-thirds
of the Htatc Territory was in tho Houth,
and moro than ouo-feurth of the peo
ple forgot everything broad and national
indeed, in their wild fury and the inordi
nate desire to retain powor. For long
years the Democratic party exiatod only
as a weak opposition, while tho Republi
cans held tho rein*, not by pledges of
future conduce, but by keeping alive the
wounds of tho war, and, hyens-!ike,
opening the graves and rattling tho skelo-
ton bones of fallen soldiers in tho oars of
the people. The Republican press and
Republican speakers bad n boundless field
for effective platitnde the moment It
was known tho ex-Gonfoderate sided
with tho Democratic party. They
forgot that tho late Confederate
had no party, for tho Democrat fought
him as well as tho Republican ; and they
did not appreciate the desperate condition
of the impoverished, to whom protection
had bten promised, but who, seeing him
self robbed and enslaved by tho party iu
power, instinctively turned to the weak
Democratic party as tho only ray of hope
amid the Stygian darkness about him.
Tne story is too tresn to neefl ropciitfim
as a reminder ; but the desire for
power, after the war storm bad
calmed, led the Republican partisans
to invent stories of outrage and wrong
in the Booth, and thus keep alive
tho batea that should havo boon buried,
aud the chasm filled with gravos over
hicb God in llis mercy had spread the
aod and the flowers of a common country,
bidden forever. The people of this laud,
North and Houth, are right at heart, and
true to the traditions of tho Republic as
are the citizens of the oldest Monarch
ies. Their eyes were opened to the true
condition of the Houth, and they relinked
the falsifiers of a brave peoplo. They felt
a panic iu 1873, when they expocled plen
ty, and they threw the blaroo on the Ad
ministration. They saw tho party
trick in tho pendiug Civil Rights
hill, and they rebuked it; and look
ing at tho efforts of the party in powor to
coutinuo tho control by violating tho tra
ditions of tho Uopublio iu tho third term
movement, they rose in their wight and
provod, what we havo always maintained,
that oonntry is strongor than party, and
that iu this thinking, roadiug laud tho
people may he deceived for a time, but it
H impossible, with an independent press,
to keep them blinded. After fourteen
years of struggle tho war has virtually
closed, sml now that the groat States
North and Houth have in tmth clasped
bauds, let ns vow, without ignoring the
heroes of our common country, that
tho dead past shall bury its dead;
that we hIiaII forgot all that is bitter iu
tho past and tnrn with hopeful hearts and
strong bands to tho future. In this lies
onr safety, our prosperity. The Houth,
hitherto eloudod by suspicion, and shad
owed by a drood poverty, again feels the
warm snu of freedom nbiutttg b«r,
and again stands whore her voioe can be
heard in iho councils of a country made
independent of old by the valor of her
revolutionary sires. Now lot us work aud
build up onr land, for tbe past is dead,
and the future glorious. C.
votes. This feeling will certainly extend
with time, and every year will add to the
number of negroes repudiating tbe Radi
cal party and acting with tha Democrats.
On the other hand, the agitation of the
Civil Bights bill has more nearly nnited
the whites of the Booth than ever they
rere before. We think that we do not
risk anything in making the assertion
that not a single county in Georg a^ Ala
bama or Louisiana waa this fall carried by
the vote of white'Radicals. Prior to this
year there were several so carried in each
of tbeHtates named. Having once sha
ken off old prejudices and allied tbem-
witb the Democracy, the white vo
ters now aeting with us for the first time
will remain with the party now triumph
ant throughout the Union.
One consideration that will more than
ever disgnst the negroes with their
white Radical leaders, is tbe faith
lessness of the latter towards
the negro candidates in the late Southern
elections. In Georgia a negro,ran for
Cuogrem in tho Eighth District hich
contains a large majority of negroes) and
he received less than 300 votes iu the Dis
trict. In AlabAtna the two negro candi
dates for Congress were defeated by tbe
refusal of tho white Radicals to support
them. This is clearly shown by the elec
tion figures. Lewis, the white Radical
candidate for Congress, obtained a major
ity in the First or Mobile District, while
Jere Haralson, the negro Radical candi
date, was beaten, and this notwithstand
ing the fact that Jere is the best public
speaker of the two. In tbe Second or
Montgomery District, Rapier the negro
candidate for Congress, runs behind Lew
is and White and Hheets in every county
whose full returns we havo seen. He ran
twenty-six votes behind them in his own
county, Montgomery, fifty-throe votes be
hind them in Barbour, 2«7 votes behind
them in Coffee, and he failed to get a vote
in Geneva county! It may possibly bo
that*Uapier wonld have been defeated
by b very small majority even
if the white Radicals had voted
for him, bat the returns show con
clusively that they did not vote for him.
We might, by a comparison of the votes
of othor comities, make this showing still
stronger, but we think that the figures
which wo give are sufficient. Of course
such conduct as this on tho part of the
white Radioals will exasperate the ne
groes and make them more cautions here
after in giving their support to their
greedy white political associates.
In every view that we may take of it,
tbe prospect is that the Radical power in
the Houth is forever broken, and that each
succeeding election will show an increas.
ing number of negro Democratic voters.
The deceptions which the Radical whites
have practised on them by their terrible
stories of what the Democrats would do lo
ro*cnslave the negroes or deprive them of
their political rights, will be exposed be-
fore another election, and when this is
done, we expect a perfect rush of negroes
for the Democratic camp. Let us be
thankful that Southern Radicalism, at
least, is beyond the reach of the hand of
resurrection.
