A i.rttxk by General Joseph E. John
ston has recently 1mm published. in which
we notice the expression that he ia not a
citizen of the United State.
Well if General Johnston is not a citi
zens of the Unitinl State* he ought to be

The Omaha Herald asks these perti
nent question*: **U. S. Grant wa* the

.-shiry grab, with Gen. Boiler as his chief
henchman. Do Republican conventions

'denounced* any attempt to driro from

high trust
amount of howling, fighting, and m cussin”
varied by frequent adjournments by the
crowd to “ licker up,” and by the turn
ing off of the gas, and tho refusal of the
janiior of the hall to light up again until
■tamps to the amount of/rae dollar was
forthcoming. The entire crowd couldn't
raise that amount, but some white men
went security for them and then the fun
recommenced. Tho Gurneyita* secured
the re-organi/Ation of the convention and
everything was working lovely for Gurney
when that tho person entered the hall.
What ensued New* and Courier relates as
follows:
About half-past tw
* the credit of j morning the convmtioi
shoulder*, and j last contested dslegat
Mm ley dolegotas were
fhi* time Gen. OlUBfJ
publi An candidates for the mayoralty,
come into the hall. It was an unfortu
nate time. Tho Mackey men, under the
pressure of the defeat, were wrothy, and
*everal of them made a rush at General
Gurney. One of them whipped out
pistol, and the crowd, friends and foes,
gathered up in one corner of the room in
a confused mob. This, as may be imag
ined, had a very demoralizing effect upon
tho members of the convention. The
more weak-kneed flod In dismay, and in
a few moment* the hall was emptied of
overy one except those who were strug
gling over the candidate.
General Gurney finally got out of the
hall and the Convention adjourned until
12 o’clock to-day.
The convention met again on Tuesday,
«md after a big row, kicked both Mackey
and Gurney overboard, and nominated a
scaliawag named George I. Cunningham,
a man of some property and decency, for
Mayor. After the convention adjourned
a large body of negroes who had been
assisting in its deliberations, marched off
singing, "Down with the Yankees,” to
the tune of “Hally around the Flag,
Boys”—from which we infer that the
African stomach in Charleston is rather
sour at present towards the enrpet-bag-
gers.
Tho ConseAatives held word meetings
on Monday night to select delegates to
their convention, and also had a stormy
time. In three or fonr ward* there was
much rowdyism and disorder, caused by
gongs of negroes who had been sent by
their owners, tho Radical leaders, to
break up tho meetings, and no result was
reached in some of them. Enough dele
gates, however, were chosen favorable to
the renomination of General John A.
Wagener, the present Mayor, over his
competitor. Major Theodore J. Boag, who
the next day withdrew his name ns a can
didate, thus leaving General Wagener a
clear field. The News and Courier thinks
there will bo a sharp fight, but that the
Conservatives will win.
We trust so from the bottom of our
hearts. Tho city government of Charles
ton has been in the hands of the Conser
vatives for the past two years and the
good results thereof to tho trade, general
prosperity and solid progress of the city
have been moat gratifringly and oouclu-
sivelv shown. The negroes and their
white allies all this time have been hun
gering and thirsting for a raid upon the
pockets of tho tax-payers, and havo be
come so ravenous that it is really fearful
to think what will tho consequences to
the treasury should they bo successful in
the coming eloction. They have already
mode out their programme of plunder in
tho ©vent of success, and that they will
carry it through no one can doubt.

Just at this moment money is scarcer
and more di&ult to be obtained, pr»J»a-
bly, than at any pmod since the war.
It matters not what the collaterals
may lie, the article fails to come to the
surface, because it is not there. This
may be accounted for, in part, because
ccAton moves so much later than usual,
and the buyers are so few in number.
Yesterday farmers were to be seen anx
ious to sell their loads, but who could
scare up no purchasers. In the mean
time there is that annual pause always
observable in financial affairs, when the
tide having reached its lowest ebb, the
flood has not yet set in. In other words,
the banks have hbout finished their
advances for the year to planters, and,
with exchequers well-nigh exhausted, are
n^piv awaiting the return of their loans
and the handsome profits accruing from
the interest account.
Mcnfinints, too, have spent all their
available cash in the laying in of new
storks, and find it difficult during /the
temporary lull between the summer and
autumn lmsiiUM*. to gather indusd* .- itii
cient to meet the enormous demands for
freight which are ever pouring in,
oth*ir ni drain upon the available cap
ital of the country, also, ia the large
amount of currency which has been re
tired from circulation by tho purchase o:
the new State bond*. True, the effect
ha* been to maintain the credit of Geor
gia, both at home and abroad—a most
desirable consummation—but, neverthe
less, it was robbing Peter to pay Paul,
and henoo the stringency in the money
market.
But this period of “slack watqr” in the
trade of our city, fortunately, is destined
to be of very brief duration. The fleecy
■taple, which is now rapidly pouring in
by wagon and mil, will attract capital and
buyers, too, a* sure a* the eagles follow
the carcase. Yesterday the receipt of
one warehouse reached one hundred and
fifty bales, and soon tho crisis will be
passed, money abundant, and prosperity
and thrift again gladden all hearts. The
indications of a heavy and profitable
trade the present season are considered
very flattering, and the credit of Macon
merchants abroad stands as firm as the
rock of Gibraltar.

Will Live to Regret It.
Wo fear tho Miaaiwippi DemoctnU will
live to regrot not nominating a State
ticket nt Meridian on Wednesday. They
ore tho first to formally di.band tho
grand old organization and loavo the
rank and file to shift for themselves—to
.tray into dubious paths, and beeomo
houseless, homeless wanderers. Tho ob
ject, wo suppose, is to throw the support
of tho party to Alcorn as against Ames,
but how, or by what right eliall the lead
ers control the masses of the party after
thus turning them out of the old church,
locking the doors and bidding them go
thoir way ? Wo predict that it will re
sult just os disastrously as did the Greeley
movement last year. There are thous
and of Democrats in Mississippi who will
not vote for Alcorn any more than they
will for Ames. They will sulk in their
tents rather than wear the colors and
march under the banner of cither.
They owe Alcorn nothing and Ames
hws. It was Alcorn who engineered the
machinery of Radical reconstruction in
Mississippi. He founded tho Radical
party in that State, and has been one of
its stoutest champions in all the South.
He has never failed to give Grant and
his administration a hearty support as
against tho Southern people, and would
never have lifted the standard of revolt
against the Grant party had he not felt
himself menaced with loss of power and
patronage in the State. His rival, Arne-,
has the ear of the administration, he con
trols the Federal appointments, and it is
upon the heads of his special friends falls
the golden shower of the spoils. Alcorn
has boeu snubbed—Aiac illor IacArym«ie.
Hence his new born zeal and love for the
white people of Mississippi. After hav
ing assisted to bind and turn them over
manacled hand and foot to the white and
Mack thieves and tyrants cf that State,
he now calls upon them to save him from
the same fate. His personal fortunes are
in danger, and he cries to his victims to
rally to his rescue.
And they have done it. weakly, foolish
ly and fatally as we think, and as time
will show. The Democratic party of
Missisuppi has been temporarily dis
banded in order that Alcorn may have
some show against Amo.- He hasn t the
ghost of a hope from any other quarter.
The negroes will vote .olid for Ames.
They move at the word of command, and
that has been given from Washington.

The

Next Session of Men
University.
It is announced to-day that the exer
cises of this venerable institution will be
resumed on the first of the ensuing
montu. We predict a very large acces
sion of new students, as the late brilliant
Commencement has demonstrated that
despite the depressing influences of the
past year, the progress of Mercer is on
ward and upward.
President Battle is the right man in
the right place, and tho entire Faculty
confessedly one of the ablest in the South.
Many years since, when the writer was
an inmate of the State University, it was
notorious that the students who joined
from Pennneld, were as well, if not
better prepared than those coming from
any other institution.
And now, with her new bnildings,
which are models of architectural beauty,
completed, an ample endowment, splen
did aparatus, extensive and well selected
library, the best location in the State,
and the entire confidence of the people,
what other than the most brilliant career
can await her? That the most sanguine
expectations of the friends of the Uni
versity will be realized, none can doubt.
Not Mach “Peace” for the Un
happy Indian.
It is said that the Crows, a Western
tribe of Indians, have been wofully swin
dled in a late troaty made with them by
Felix R. Brunot. bne of General Grant’s
peace commissioners. This man, as
chairman of the Commission on Indian
Affairs, is the very individual who report
ed against the whole treaty system, and
even recommended the abrogation of ex
isting contracts, on the ground that the
poor savages were always cheated out of
their rights, and mercilessly robbed by
government agents. But he is also a di
rector ir. the Northern Pacific Raijroad
Company, and they want the Crow coun
try for their own purposes. Of course,
the aforesaid report was merely bun
combe, and must not stand in the way of
busing. Hence, the Crows are sacrificed.

Little Northern Hat to be Used.—
It is expected that very little Northern
hay will lie used in this section the pres

pay attention to saving and curing their
own grass. We know of a few farmers
who sold several hundred bales in this
market last season. They were well paid
for their trouble. That this example is

statement made to Hooper by Lay, and
quoted by the former in a letter to the
latter. Colonel Lay, it seems, is not a
very healthy man to fool with. Wo
quote:
Colonel Lay (rising with profound
bow—Yes, Colonel, I have been engaged
in forty-two affairs of honor as principal
and second, and I concur with you fully
in your suggestions. It is the duty of a
second to prevent a resort to arms if pos
sible. I recollect in one of the first duels
I ever fought, I came very near losing my
life by having a fool for a second. He
allowed me to fight the best swordsman
in Europe with a rapier. I, at that time,
was not so proficient as I am now in the
use of that weapon, and considered my
life as good as lost, but met my antago
nist, and, after parrying a few of his
thrusts, was compelled to allow him to
pass his sword entirely through my
stomach, the point coming out at my
backbone. As I stood thus transfixed, it
occurred to my mjnd to do an act which
I have never heard of being equalled be
fore or since. I, with my left hand, with
remarkable presence of mind, coolness
and firmness, seized my adversaiy’s blade,
holding it so firmly that he could neither
turn it in me or pull it out, and in that
position, plunged my sword entirely
through my adversary’s left breast up to
the hilt, just one inch and a half above
his heart; and what is remarkable is,
that we both recovered—and thereupon,
you removed a portion of your clothing
and pointed to the spot.

BT GEN. JAMES 8. BRISBIN.
We were campaigning on the Crow, and
the camp had been pitched in a pretty
little valley, through which ran a pure
stream of bright, cold water. Tho supper
had been eaten, the camp-fires lighted,
pipes filled, and all were ready for the
evening yarn. Among the frontiersmen
who accompanied th*- expMition was Mr.
Bolden, the celebrated White Chief of the
Plains, and noted hunter, trapper and
guide. I called upon him for a story,
and, after thinking over his wild border-
life for some time, os if to select the
choicest bits from his vast experience, he
related the following:
“I was one of the first men in 1858, to
arrive at Pike's Peak. I came up from
the Missouri, with a friend of my father,
aijd we stopped at Denver, or rather, I
should say, where Denver now is, for tho
city was then composed of a few grog
shops and shanties. In one of the mining
camps I became acquainted with a queer
fellow they called
BRUISER SAM.
He was a powerful man, and sometimes
drank a great deal, but was always good-
tempered and kind-hearted. The miners
were a rough set in those days, and de
lighted in the most brutal of sports.
Prize fighting was one of their pastimes,
and at this Bruiser Sam excelled—no
man in all the camps being able to stand
up long before him. Hia feats of strength
were prodigious. Often would ho take
barrel of liquor by the chimes, and. knock
ing out the bung, lift it up and drink
from the hole, as easily as if it were a
small keg. Then ho would stand on a
box twelve inches high, and lift one hun
dred and eighty pounds with his teeth.
He could pick up a three-bushel bag of
flour with his mouth, and carry it a rod.
One day a saloon keeper offended Sam,
and to have revenge, he went out into the
street and shouldering a large work horse,
carried it into tho saloon, loaving the en
raged bar-keeper to get it out and down
the steps as best he could. At another
time he carried a rock into a store, and
dropped it through the floor.
Sam’s skin was as white and smooth
as a girl’s; i*ut all over his arms, shoul
ders, and broad chest were bunches of
knotty muscles as large as one’s fist. He
was a well-built and
FINE-LOOKING MAN,
his waist being remarkably small, his
hips broad, the legs well set, and feet
small. Once his face was handsome, but
whisky had bleared the eyes, and the
nose was pimpled and red; still, Sam
was a good looking man, and, whi
ilrtMod «*p In a new bucK-hX.ui suit with
yellow fringe, and his long brown hair
combed out in •curls about his neck, he
was the picture of an athletic frontiers
man.
However, Sam was fast
degenerating into a loafer;
he had left off work and gone to living by
his strength, just as thousands of men
live by their wits in the great cities.
Any one would pay for Sam’s liquor to
see him lift a barrel by tho ends and
drink from the bung-holo; and occasion
ally, by way of variety, he would shoulder
horse or a mule for a glass of nun.
Dissipation told rapidly on ‘Tho Man
of Steel,’ as he was called; and, when I
saw him in the spring, after a winter’s
carousing, he had
THE DELIRIUM TREMENS,
and it took five men to hold him. His
frame was wasted away, the knots of sin
ews were gone, his chest drawn in, and
the skin of his body soft and flabby.
It was about this time an old English
man named Jones arrived at the mines,
and, hearing of Sam, expressed a desire
to see him. Old Jones was a well-known
prize fighter, but, of late yea re, had giv-
~~ up the ring himself and turned train-
Sam’s fame excited the envy of old
Jones, and he no sooner s^w him than he
offered to fight Sam. The miners were
astonished, and tried to dissuade Jones
from his purpose; but nothing would do
but he must have a bout with Sam. So
the day was set. Sam was sick on the
morning of the fight, and looked badly
enough; but bets ran two to one on ‘The
Man of Steel,* against the Englishman.
Time was called, and the Englishman
bounded into the ring, while Same came
up slowly, and looked languid and fee
ble ; buC at the very first pass, he hit
John Bull
BETWEEN THE EYES,
and no amount of sponging and bathing
could induce him to stand upon hi3 legs
again that day. It was feared Sam had
broken the Englishman’s skull, but he
got about in a day or two, and soon af
terwards both he and Sam disappeared
from the saloons. The bar-keepers were
astonished. Sam did not come around
any more for his grojj, and no one could
imagine where he had gone, or what he
was at. Foul play was beginning to be
suspected, when it leaked out that Sam
WAB IN THAJNINO,
•and that the Englishman was his trainer.
After old Jones had got that awful lick
from Sam’s brawny fist, he gave him no
peace until he agreed to go into training
and accompany the Englishman to Eng
land there to fight the giants of the prize
ring. Jones had not much money, but,
at nis instigation, a man named Dunham
came over from London with plenty of
cash, and, as soon as Dunham arrived,
old Jones quit, and the new Englishman
became Sam’s regular trainer.
*‘I saw Sam once while he was in train
ing, and he looked well; the knots were on
bis arms again, and the great chest firm
and round. He had been at his dumb
bells, sand-bags, gum-balls about six
weeks, when, one morning, he got mad
about something, knocked both Dunham
and old Jones down, and made his escape
from his keepers into the street. Stop
ping at the saloons and taking several
drinks, he did not forget it was his hour
for training, and amused himself by
KNOCKING DOWN
every stout-looking fellow he met. Fi
nally, after the sheriff and half the town
had been whipped, Sam was captured and
put into jail; but here a new difficulty
presented itself, for the jail was not a
strong one, and Sam swore he would in
stantly tear it down if they did not let
him out. On promising that he would
go straight to his lodgings, the door was
opened, and Sam kept nis word, for he
went directly home and retired to bed.
This outbreak was so unlike Sam’s natural
disposition that every one was at a loss to
and that, single-handed and alone, he
would fight one. There was a grizzly in
the camp, that had been caught by the
miners when a cub, and raised by them.
The bear was now nearly full-grown, and,
although a great, powerful brute, was
quite tame and harmless. It was not
long before some wretches had arranged
a fight between this beast and Bruiser
Sam, and the day was set. The bear was
to be chained to a tree by the neck, and
Sam was to fight him for one hour with
his naked fists. Sam again went into
training, with Jim Peyton for his trainer,
and, long before the day of the fight,
Peyton reported that his pupil was in
splendid condition, and ‘would as soon
fight as go a fishing.*
“The day came, and with it a great
crowd. The bets were three to one on
Sam, and many really believed he would
whip the bear.
POOR BRUIN—
a great, shaggy-coated fellow,—was tied
to a stake by a chain twelve feet long,
and was as good-tempered os he could
be, stan*ling on his hind legs, and scam
pering about with delight at the sight of
so many people. Perhaps there was as
little of the real beast in Bruin as there
was in many of the two-legged animals
who came to see him fight. The keepers
of the bear began teasing and poking
him with sharp poles and irons, and.
although lie took it quite coolly at first,
he after a while growled fiercely and
tugged at his chain. Sam now appeared
with tiU keeper, Peyton, and was received
with loud cheers by the human animals
who wished to see a man and a beast
fight.
“Stepping into tho ring, Sam prepared
for battle, stripping off all his clothing,
except his boots, pants, and drawers. His
brand chest contrasted strangely with the
shaggy coat of tho beast, as the two com
batants stood glaring at each other.
thr intelligent animal
seemed to understand the situation in a
moment, and raising on his legs, walked
toward Sam, who tried to hit him between
the eyes, hoping to break his skull; hut
failing in this, ho stepped to one side,
and giving the bear a powerful blow on
the ear, knocked him completely down.
Cheer after cheer greeted Sam as he
stepped from the ring, and tho men who
had bet on the bear really began to fear
they would lose their money. Five min
utes were allowed between rounds, and
the baiters poked the beast vigorously
all the time, so that when Sam came up
again, he was in a towering rage.
“The moment Sam crossed the ring,
the bear recognized him, and bounded
the full length of the chain. So great
was the rage of the beast that the people
drew back in horror, and even Sam grew
pale. Again the bear leaped forward,
and taking his chain in his paws, at
tempted to break it. For a time it re
sisted all his efforts, but at length
8NAPPED IN TWAIN,
and the affrighted people fled terror-
stricken from the plain. The bear dashed
upon Sam, who bravely stood his ground,
and actually succeeded in felling the beast
to the earth; but, in doing so, lost his
balance, and, before he could escape, the
bear caught him with one claw, and, hit
ting him on the face with the other, broke
the poor fellow's jaw. Still Sam fought
on, with his jaw hanging down upon
breast, and blood spirting from a dozen
wounds. It was a terrible conflict; but,
of course, the bear won, knocking Sam
down finally, and tearing open his chest
with its sharp claws. By this time, the
people had got guns and returned to the
field, where they fired volley after volley
into poor Bruin, until he lay quite still
and dead.
SAM WAS DEAD, TOO,
and they took up his body and the car
cass of tho bear, and buried them both.
And thus ended Bruiser Sam and his
grizzly-bear fight, which was perhaps the
only prize bear-fight ever fought in the
world.”

DAY DISPATCHES.
Losses at Northern Watering:
Places the Past Season.
The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes as follows on this
subject:
* ixna & imereti least, ana
Cape May next. Then come Saratoga
and Newport, which latter is diminishing
every year in hotel patronage, while its
villa population is augmenting. Atlantic
City, according to report, has nearly ru
ined its landlords. Tho White Mountain
inns are far below their average receipts,
and Mount Desert, Rye, Westerly, Watch
Hill, Narragansett Pier, Clifton, Sharon,
and Richfield Springs, with Niagara,
Greenbrier, White Sulphur, and other re
sorts, sh'iw a lamentable falling off in re
ceipts. The watering place hotel keep
ers had expected an unusually large pat
ronage, and had made the amplest prep
aration therefor. Consequently, their pe
cuniary detriment is greater tnan it
would have been otherwise, and they are
possessed of so little hope that many of
them have not tho courage to contem
plate another season.
An arithmetic man, who claims to
speak by the card, avers that $1,000,000
will not cover the losses of the principal
resorts during the summer just past. At
least half a dozen failures of prominent
landlords are bruited, and abundant talk
of compounding with creditors floats on
Northern and Southern breezes.

President Castelar.
The speech of Castelar on assuming the
Presidency of the Cortes shows that
whether or not he be fitted for the posi
tion to which he has been called he has a
veiy clear perception of the needs of the
Spanish Republic at this juncture. Lack
harmony among the.elements of re
publicanism and lack of discipline in the
army are pronounced by him to be, as
they are pretty generally recognized by
others to be, the great dangers which
threaten the existence of the Republic.
And when he declares that the present
dissensions if prolonged can only result in
the tyranny of a Cromwell or a Napoleon,
he only asserts what every one out of
Spain will be ready to accept as extremely
probable, It appears that the last hope
of the Spanish Republic is in Castelar,
and if he fails to secure the harmony
which he declares to be necessary, the
dictator cannot be very far behind him.

Persian Barbarity.—Sir John Mal
colm, writing from Persia in 1828, de
scribes the case of a chief named Zal
Khan, who, coming into disfavor with the
reigning monarch, was condemned to
have his eyes put out. Failing in his
appeal for a recall of his cruel sentence,
Zal Khan “loaded the tyrant with curses,”
and, in return, hia tengue was ordered to
be cut out. This order was imperfectly
executed, and the loss of half the member
reported to have deprived him of
speech. Being afterward persuaded that,
if cut close, he might be able to speak in
telligently with the root, he submitted to
the operation, and subsequently told his
own story to Malcolm. These statements
were long doubted, but, in 1857, they
were fully confirmed by Sir John McNeill,
whose inquiries in Persia, where t.hia
mode of punishment is common, led to
the discovery of many instances of a sim
ilar nature. The belief is universal in
that country, that incision of the tip of
the tongue permanently destroys the
power of speech, while its removal at or
near the root leaves the victim a chance
of regaining the ability to again speak
his mind. Surgeons are agreed, however,
that, for the purposes of talking, the
more there is left of the “unruly mem
ber” the better.—Popular 8cience Monthly

JAY COOK & CO.
Farther Particulars of the Great
Failure.
New York, September 18.—-The ex
citement in consequence of Cooke’s failure
is great. The question is, who next?
Business men attribute the failure to op
erations in the North Pacific road.
It is feared the National Life Insurance
Company will go under with Cooke.
It is said that Jay Cooke lost largely
in gold.
Members of the firm say they are un
able to make any further statement, save
that they expect to resume business in a
short time.
Jay Cooke & Co* Make a Statement,
Jay Cooke & Co. make the following
statement: The immediate cause of the
suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., was the
large drawings made upon them by their
Philadelphia house and their own depos
itors during the last fortnight. Both
houses have suffered a large draw upon
their deposits, in consequence of the un
easy feeling which has recently prevailed
and which has affected, more or less, all
houses closely identified with the new
railroad enterprises, The Philadelphia
house had previously been weakened by
large cash advances to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, of which they
were the financial agents.
The business of Jay Cooke. McCullough
& Co., London, is entirely distinct, and
that house is perfectly solvent. So that
it will meet all of its outstanding drafts
and letters of credit, without inconven
ience to travellers, and have a large cash
surplus to apply to the American house.
The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. and its
members have a large amount of real and
personal property, upon which, how
ever, they cannot immediately realize.
They are confident that depositors • will
be paid in full.
Other Failures Denied*
All reports about suspensions of firms,
excepting Jay Cooke Sc Co., Richard
Schell and the small firm of Robinson,
Snydam Sc Co., upon investigation proved
to be without foundation. When this
fact was made known on the streets con
fidence was again restored, and at the
close of business a stronger feeling pre
vailed.
It is not thought that any other firms
of prominence will succumb.
The Freedman’s Bank.

court to put a stop to the scandal by com- atriSl’ oi chofci.'
nutting him to jail. Every judge and ju- • • — •- -
ryman connected with the case had been
threatened with assassination if a verdict
against the defendant should be brought
in. The Chief Justice warned claimant
that if he made another speech, or appeal
before the public, he would surely be im
prisoned. New revelations are made
every day of the trial, and public interest
in tho case increases. *
The Fever at Pensacola.—The Pen-
sjicola Republican of Saturday hays :
still prevailing here, though in a mild
form compared with what it was in 1867.
There are now comparatively but few
deaths, although there has been an aver
age of at least one a day ever since about
the middle of August, when it first made
its appearance. Physicians and those in
authority unite in advising residents who
are remaining in the city, that it would
be unadvisablo for them to leave now,
while those who are absent had better re
main away tiU after a good frost. The
disease is believed to be now at pretty
much at a stand still.
Gen. Sherman has a six column letter
in tho Washington Chronicle, of last
Monday, endeavoring to wipe out the
stigma attaching to him for the vandal
act of tho burning of Columbia. Like
Holt, Gen. Sherman cannot clear him
self of this infamy by shedding oceans of
ink.
The New York World Bays truly that
the whole South, from the Potomac
and Ohio rivers to the Gulf of Mexico,
there is no Republacan party at all ex
cept among the nogroe?, carpet-baggers
and Federal officers. There is no South
ern State of which the Republicans could
keep control after the next election if
Washington influences were withdrawn.
