llv tfie Sen.
Backward and forward, under the moon,
Swings the tide, in its old-tiuie way ;
Never too late, and never too soon ;
And evening and morning make the day.
Backward and forward, over the sands,
And over the rocks, to fall and How ;
And this wave has touched a dead man’s hands,
And that one has seen a face we know.
They have sped the good ship on her way,
Or burled her deep from love and light;
But here, as they sink at our feet (o-day,
Ah, who shall distinguish their voices aright ?
For their separate burdens of hope and fear
Are blended now in one solcmu tone ;
And only this song of the waves I hear,
“ Forever and ever His will is done."
Backward and forward, to and fro,
Swings our life in its weary way ;
Now at its ebb, and now at its flow ;
And evening and morning make the day.
Sorrow and comfort, peace and strife,
Pain and rejoicing, its moments know;
How from the discords of such a life
Shall the clear music flow ?
Yet to the car ol God it swells,
And to the blessed rouud the throne,
Sweeter than chime of vesper bells,
“ Forever and ever His will is done.”
The Public Debt.
The Ohio Statesman puts the immense character
ol the public debt in the following tainiliar form :
At $2 a bushel the public debt of the Uuited States
represents 1,261,767,245 bushels of w'beat, or 37,-
853,017 tons. To transport this amount iu two
horse wagons, allowing one ton to each, would re
quire 37,853,017 wagons and 75,700,034 horses 1 Give
each team thirty feet space, and you have a caval
cade which would encircle the globe nearly niue
times.
On the same subject someone has gone into a
mathematical calculation, which shows that if our
national debt was reduced to one dollar bills and
placed one upon another the pile would be three
hundred and nine-eight and a half miles high I
Sensible Darkey.
A Wilmington, N. C., negro said to a carpet-bag
ger recently; “ Under your teaching you have
alienated from us the mass of the white people at
the North, as well as at the Bouth; you have got
the offices and emoluments, while we did the work
and stand out in the cold. For one lam done with
you.” That’s true.
Clothing White Men.
Is there a Republican, who, if Congress should
appropriate two or three millions to clothe wLite
men in Pennsylvania, would not denounce the act
as unconstitutional, arbitrary, and oppressive—an
infraction of his rights, and of the rights of the
whole people? There is not, and yet these same
Republicans sustain Congress in its appropriations
of fifteen or twenty millions a year for tbe purpose
of feeding and clothing a 6et of idle negroes in the
Southern States. Is this not so ? It is. Tax-pay.
ers take notice.
The Issues.
The great issues before the people to-day,
says the Philadelphia Age, are whether the
government shall be administered for the next
four years by the men who have brought us
so nearly to the verge of ruin, or whether it
shall be controlled by those who have ever
proven themselves honest and capable. For
nearly seventy years the country was under
Democratic rule. During that long period
such a thing as direct taxation was unknown
—the entire national debt did not, at any one
time, amount to as much as one half of the
interest of our present indebtedness—the ex
penses of the government were not one-tenth
as great as they are now—the people were
united, prosperous, and happy—trade flour
ished, the laboring man was charged fair pri
ces for the necessaries of life, official corrup
tion was almost unknown, the Constitution
was respected, the judiciary was left untram
meled, a standing army was dreaded as worse
than a pestilence, and the rights of every man
wore respected. In the short period of eight
years, all the great work of the Democratic
party has been undone, and to day the country
is groaning beneath the tyranny, extravagance
and corruption of the party in power. These
are plain facts, unquestioned and unquestion
able. They are facts for the people to pon
der.
Scared. —The Ohio State Journal, a violent
Radical sheet, frantically exclaims: “For
Heaven's sake, friends, wotk! Work from this
lay until election, or we are beaten in Ohio, in
Indiana, in Pennsylvania, in New York, and
in the whole country!’’
Says the New York Herald, changing its
tune:
If the history of Democracy were darker
than it is, the history of radicalism would he
infinitely beyond it in infamy. It is upon
these broad views and judgments of par
ties that the people move. The common
mind averages great results by a process of its
own. Isolated facts are forgotten— this or
that virtue or vice seems to pass away; but the
balance of history is made up at the polls, and
Kentucky indicates the tendency.
A Frightful Death. —At Snyder, Pa., last
week, a young lady in her father's garden was
heard to scream, and upon going out to see
what the matter was, her brother found her on
the ground, dead. Her friends on proceeding
to prepare the body for interment, were horror
stricken to find an immense black snake coiled
tightly around her person, underneath her
clothing.
Wheat Plenty. —The Ilast'ngs Gazette ex
pects that one million five hundred thousand
bushels of wheat will be marketed in that city
this season.
General Howard figuros tho expense of the
Freedmen’s Bureau down to about ten millions
of dollars, and Mr, Wells to about five. The
Radicals will soon prove it a source of revenue, j
if they keep on cyphering
Head This, Colored Men.
A correspondent of the Macon Journal <('•
Messenger gives tho subjoined account of a
speech delivered by a colored man at a Demo
cratic barbecue, in Pulaski county, a few days
ago:
Next followed a colored man by the name
of Sherman, xvho gave, in a conversational
style, a most interesting history of his trip to,
and his stay in Liberia. lie was not at all
complimentary to the agentsof the Colonization
Srciety, on account of the meagre supply of
provisions on the voyage, lie says they wero
compelled to subsist for days on rations con
sisting of a single cracker and a pint of water ;
hut when they reached their destination, on ac
count of the many deaths occurring in their par
ty their rations were increased to three crackers
per Jay. lie said he was told by the Coloni
zation Society that when he reached Liberia
lie would find a species of fruit known as the
bread fruit growing in great abundance on the
trees —all of which he found to he true, hut
neither he nor any of his party could eat it.
He says the natives live on snakes, frogs, liz
ards, or any sort of animals they can capture
uttd slay, hut they prefer animals that have
died and are in a putrid state.
He said he determined to leave as soon as
he could provide himself with money to pay
his passage to New York, which lie soon oh
obtained, and took a ship for New York, where
he felt confident of meeting many friends.—
After arriving in the city he made*application
to some men on the wharf for work, was told
they did not employ negroes, and driven
he made several other applications on the
wharf, meeting in every instance unkind re
pulses. He then made application at two
carpenter shops, from which he hardly escaped
with his scalp. He returned to the wharf in
despair, where ho fortunately found a gentle
man from Savannah, and, after having to work
for his food until he could get a situation, he
proposed to work for him in the same way.—
He gave him his food, and afterwards paid the
full price of his labor, which enabled him to
reach Savannah, where he met with Southern
friends who furnished him means to reach his
old home, where he hopes to live and die, for
he says the black man has no friends only in
the South. He advised the black man to be
peaceable and industrious, and be governed by
the advice of the people in this country. That
slavery at the South, in its worst form, is bet
ter for the black man than freedom at the
North.
Child Killed by an Eagle.
A Tippah county, Miss., school teacher writes
to the Winona Democrat:
A sad casualty oocurred at my school a few
days ago. The eagles have been very trouble
some in the neighborhood for some time past,
carrying off pigs, lauibe, etc. No one thought
that they would attempt to prey upon children ;
but on Thursday at recess, the little boys were
out some distance from the bouse, playing
marbles, when their sport was disturbed by a
large eagle swooping down and picking up
little Jimmie Kenney, a boy of eight year*-,
and flying aw ay with him. The children cried
out, and when I got out of the house the eagle
was so high that I could jußt hear the child
screaming. The alarm was given, and from
screaming and shouting in the air, etc., the
eagle via* inducod to drop his victim ; but his
talons had been buried in him so deeply, and
the fall was so great, that he was killed, or
either, would have been fatal
A Nuisance and tbe Remedy.
The Radical papers of the Noith and West
have dispatched sundry sneaks and lying cor
respondents to the South, to manufacture and
send back home material for the campaign.—
These earwigs loaf about hotels, ride upon rail
roads, arid hang about distinguished Southern
gentlemen to catch up and distort their con
versations. Some more brassy seek prominent
citizens and ask for interviews, the results of
which they doctor and garble before publish
ing. A case in point has just occurred. A
pimp of the Cincinnati Commercial recently
called upon General Forrest and solicited a
conversation. The General wa6 weak enough
to grant it. The resnlt was a four column let
ter full of lies, slanders and misrepresentations.
Forrest caught the scamp and made him ex
plain, hut the mischief was accomplished.—
This thing should be brought to a summary
close. We would suggest a swift and sure
remedy. When one of these vagabond hounds
call, take him by the ear, lead him rapidly to
the front door, and apply leather in tho shape
of a boot.— Columbus Sun.
No Election Till November.— Contrary to
the published statements in the newspapers,
California will hold no State election this
year, in September. The Legislature of that
State, at its recent session, passed a law pro
viding that the annual Statb election, which
has hitherto boon held in September, shall be
postponed this year, and every other Presi
dential year, till the Presidential election, so
that both elections will this year take place
on the same day, in November.
A New Horse Shoe. — A Frenchman named
Chailier has invented anew sort of horse shoo
which is much praised. It consists of an iron
band let into a rectangular groove, scooped
from the outer circle of the horse’s foot. This
band is fastened with seven rectangular nails,
driven into oval holes. The sole of the foot
and the frog are thus allowed to touch the
ground ; the horse never slips and never gets
diseases of the foot. The new shoe has been
tried by M. Lauguet, a large livery stable
keener in Paris, and has reduced laniness in
his stables by two-thirds. The Omnibus
Company moreover, have shod 1,200 horses,
jtnd speak of tho improvement iu high term?
Expulsion of the Negroes irom the Georgia
Legislature.
The expulsion of the negroes from the Geor
gia Legislature is said to be a Radical move-
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette, writing under date of tho 6th
instant, say? :
The action of tho Georgia Uouse of Dele
gates in excluding negroes from that body, on
the ground of ineligibility, has producod no
surprise here, as it was known here in advanco
that the movement would he made under the
dictation of the Radical Committee of Congross.
tnen, who consider that such an action would
be a trump card in the Northern canvass as
showing tho Radical party wag not favorable
to negro equality. It required a groat doal
of backing and filling before tho carpot-bag.
ers of Oeorgia could bo indtioed to move in tho
matter, as they professed to sco in it nothing
but their political overthrow. In resisting the
proposition they urged that tho negroes would
easily understand that they wore being used
merely as tools, and would turn from them in
disgust and join the Democracy. This loss,
however, was regarded insignificant when
compared to tho great advantage arising to tho
Radical party in the North, to ho able to dem
onstrate to the masses that the Democratic
speakers lied when they charged thoir oppo
nents with favoring negro equality. This is
the key to the action of the Georgia Legisla
ture, and the Radical wire-workers are chuck
ling over it as one of the smartest tricks of the
canvass. llow will their colored allies relish
itT
Sad Pictnre.
Here is a picture drawn from life by a Co
lumbia correspondent of the New York World:
“Passing up from Charleston, and looking
out on the right of tho road, between Kings
ville and this place, there is an immense clear
ing, which, a few years ago, was under splendid
cultivation, and, at this season of the year
white with cotton, with hundreds of hands
busily employed. It is now growing in weeds,
and has no fencing, and, indeed, presents no
sign of life. As the train rußlied along, a sol
itary negro man was seen standing in the open
field; he was very tall, listless, shoeless, and
the only garment he wore was a loose cotton
shirt reaching to his knees—a style of dress,
or absence of dress which, however common
formerly among the little negroes on the large
plantations, was never known among the adults.
This tall, coal black negro, in a state of almost
nudity, had over his shoulder a long fishing"
rod, and presented a striking and suggestive
tableau as he stood looking at the flying train,
with miles of once fertile but now uncultivated
lands lying all around him—lands lying fallow
for tbe waDt of just such labor. In thousands
of instances like this, emancipation and the
Bureau have converted useful tillers of the soil
into idle, vicious vagrants, who are rapidly
going back to barbarism, and must become a
baneful curse to the country.”
Appropriate Thanksgiving.
At a jubilation meeting in Louisville, Ky.,
on Monday night, George D. Prentice, of the
Journal, closed an impromptu speech as fol
lows :
“It is fitting that we rejoice. It is proper
that we thank God and our own domitable
Democratic souls for our prospective deliver
ance. That we are to be delivered I know
and feel as well as if the spirit of prophecy was
upon me. I sec victory npon ns as plainly as
I ever saw a star in Heaven. But victory
presupposes battle. To win it we must fight.
And are we not prepared for the strife? Our
country has long been filled with gloom and
desolation and woe. A government as horrid
as a nightmare or an earth-devil, or a hell
devil, sits upon her bosom. Tbe most beauti
ful portion of our broad land is swept by a
sea of tyranny worse than a lake of fire and
brimstone. Let us then, all of us, go forth to
onr work. If by our own fault we fail in the
mighty cause in which we are now engaged,
God’s curses and mankind’s and our own will
rest upon »s.”
An Open Carpet-Bag.
A carpet-hag mulatto, named Pinchbeck, who
occupies a seat in tho Senate of Louisiana,
recently made a speech to this effect:
I want to tell them beware ; I want to tell
them that they have nearly reached the end of
their string; the next outtage of the kind
which they commit will be the signal for the
doom of retribution ; a retribution ot which
they have not dreamed ; a signal that will cause
ten thousand torches to be applied to this city, for
patience will then have ceased to be a virtue,
and this city will be reduced to ashes.
The lamb-like Pinchbeck is a fit type of Rad
icalism. He belongs to the John Brown school.
He is an earnest advocate of Grant’s election.
Pinchbeck, like hie Radical brethren of all
colors, wants war. lie folly understands the
meaning of Garfield’s “little triangular piece
of steel called a bayonet” But before he can
use that- he proposes to indulge in “ten thou
sand torchos,” and will be delighted when New
Orleans is “reduced to ashes,”
Not if We can Help It.— During the eight
years of Radical rulo they have stolen money
onough to pay all the actual expenses and three
times the honest and legitimate expenses of
the late war. And they are asking the privi
lege of stealing for four years more. All tho
indications are that the people are not willing.
Men drink in crowds because they are afraid
to drink by themselves. It requires a good
deal of courage to stand up alone and pour a
glass of whisky down your throat.
Query ?—A negro, after gazing at the Cltinejie >
exclaimed, “if the White folks is dark as dat out

VOL. 3. NO. 43
Negro Suffrage—-Views of Mr Voorhees.
The following is an extract of a spoech de
livered by lion. Daniel W. Voorhees at Terre
Haute, Ind., on the Bth ult:
While Radicalism is defeated ' r its attempts
so often ntado, to force negro suffrage on tho
people of tho North, at their jwn homes, yet
it compels tho Northern n>*,« to swear that he
will support it forever, an<« never attempt to
abolish it, before lie can live as a citizen in any
one of the reconstructed States. Last year
the Radical leaders made negro suffrage an
issue in Ohio, and wore beaten 50,000 ; yet a
citizen of Ohio cannot be a citizen of Ala
bama unless he takes an oath to change his
principles. Again, the attempt was made to
establish negro suffrage, last fall, in Kansas.
It was defeated by 8,000. Yet a oitizon of
Kansas cannot move into the neighboring State
of Arkansas, and oarry with him the rignt to
vote or hold office, unloss, in the most solemn
manner, ho first repudiates the public will of
his present home. But a few months ago
Michigan drove negro suffrage from her bor
ders by 40,000 majority j yet in order to be
clothed with citizenship in ten other States,
her people are called upon to reverse this pow
erful record. Thus a barrier is raised against
emigration from tho North to the fertile fields
of the South. The doors are open only to
such as are willing to affiliate with the negro,
and swear that they will never attempt to dis
turb his absolute equality with the white raoe.
Are you who ore living in the descending wa
ters of the Mississippi Valley—those channels
which nature made for your communication,
trade and social intercourse with the South——z
are you willing to be baited on the borders of
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, AUh»m» or
Louisiana, by a negro sentinel and made to
swear allegianeo to the policy of negro suffrage?
You would repudiate it by a hundred thou
sand majority in Indiana; yet in one-third of
the boundariee of the Republic no one of you
can be a citizen who does not embrace it, and
seal his degradation by an oath—an oath
reaching to all the future, and excluding in

and mighty rivers denied to you and your
posterity. lam no foe to the black man. I
would make the Government a blessing and
not a curse to him. In the work of bis own
hands he should eat bis bread, and I would
protect him in the fruits of his industry. Nor

clime in the annals of the human raoe proclaims
this great fact I am, therefore, for the su

government of the white man. He alone, of
all the tribee and kindreds that have peopled
the earth since the stars first held high jubilee
in the sky together, hae shown himself capa

his alone, wonld I commit the mighty mission
and the lofty destiny of my country. AwA
sooner or later, to this doctrine we wiU all

nations.
