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 dare. I wonder what's decolor ob dc negroes?” 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 advanco every reason which might dictate a chance hereafter. The whole South is thus to be africanized, her civilisation destroyed, her fields of cotton, sugar, rice, com and tobacco made barren and unproductive ; her oapacity to assist you in paying the taxes of the coun try stricken down, and all her fruitful lands 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 would I tax him, save for the education of bis children. But from all participation in the affaire of the Government I would exclude him in all the States, as you do here in Indiana. The examples of the Almighty, the teachinge of all history, and the deep philoeophy of hu man nature all denounce the commingling of separate and distinct raoea. It is an unmiti gated curse to both. Prosperity never bleased a land that attempted it. Every age and every clime in the annals of the human raoe proclaims this great fact I am, therefore, for the su premacy of the white race, and the rule and 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 ble of self-government Into his hands and 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 come, with one mind and with one heart, re gardless of party ties or party names. Then will our country rise from her distractions and calamities, and present her bright fore head without spot or wrinkle to the gaze of nations. Elmira Prison, New York.—AU who lost friends at Elmira Prison, daring the war, and who wish to get any information respect ing tbeiT bodies, the ehanoes and charges for removing, Ac., can do so by addressing Mr. R A.
