Under Ibis head we propose to give a

one David Goleaby, a black man, a small
tract ol land, to be paid for in install

promised to aid him hut could not, so lie
called on Mr. Cummings to plead fora
short time to enablo him to raise the mon
ey, but the Radical vendor told him a con
tract was a contract and that according to
their contract, if he failed to pay the- note
that day he Would sell the land with all the
improvements the negro hud made, Of
course the colored man was mortified and
distressed, and in his distress he npplied
to a Democrat who hud never scon him
before and related his troubles and exhib
ited tin! Radical s bond for titlo, which
clearly stated that a failure to make the
payments promptly lie, the Radical ven
dor, lmd the right to take possession and
dispose of it as he pleased, and the Radi
uul scoundrel had assured him tliut this he
would do. This kind hearted Democrat
saw the injustice that was likely to be done
to the negro whom he had never before
seen, and who had already paid two hun
dred dollars, called upon the Scalawag
and asked him to give the black man time,
hut the Scalawag assured him Unit ho lind
a right by contract to tako the land hack
with all the improvements the negro had
made and keep the two hundred dollars
of his linrd earned money, which lie would
do if the money wasn’t paid that
day. This kind hearted Democrat walked
hack to his safe, took out the fifty dollars
and paid it to the Scalawag, and had the
titles made to the black man, and gavo him
time to pay it, which lie did, thereby sc
ouring to tiie black man a home for him
self, his wife and children. Hero wns the
00-workor of Wade and Griffin in Radical
ism, seeking to roll a black man, and neither
of them would help him to a dollar or
s[>onk a word in his favor.' Now, We'iippeal
to the colored (loleshy, who was your
frioml iu this instance ? Was it thu Radi
cal or the Democrat. To whom aro you
friendly to-day, the Radical who sought to
rob yon of your home and your hard earn
ed money, or the strange Democrat that
came to your relief when in trouble ami
saved your home? Now, we appeal to the
colored people to ask Oolesby if this is not
truo. And, I now ask the colored people
to decide who was the black man's friend.
We furthor appeal to the black people to
show us one instance in which Wade or
Griffin has ever aided you with one dollar.
Have they ever given you anything hut
promises ? Aud have they ever complied
with a single one ? Black men, will you
vote with such men as Cummings, Wade
and Griffin, who never helped you, or with
the Democrats that makes no promises,
but meet your wants with assistance ?
Now, black men, remember tlint last fall
three stalwart, blood-thirsty men of your
rare attacked a lone white woman without
any cause or provocation, aud with no
other purpose but to rob her of her money,
beat her with clubs until she was felled to
the floor insensible, and loft by them as
dead. This woman was tho sister-in-law
of tho man who saved tho home of one of
your race from the vile clutches of the
ltadieal Cummings. These three men
were ncoiised and arrested; did either one

Now, colored men, hero is your Scala

Now, the question is will you vote with
such men as Cummings, Wadennd Griffin,

That there has never been a day for two
years when the' Kellogg ,admin istrtftjoii
could sustain itself without the help of the
federal army wo have all known; but none
of us nt the North were aware liow empty
and unsnbatial this fabric of naili;ped. pow
er really was until yesterday. Olio faint
demonstration against the barricades ex
hausted it. The revolt lifted its head at
sunset, and in the morning the government
of Mr. William Pitt Kellogg had utterly
vanished. Mr. Kellogg had just enough
strength to call upon ' Attorney General
Williams for “more troops,” and with this
characteristic and familiar cry ho went
into ignoble retirement. It is just ns wo
would have it There is a stern poetic
justice iu the com plication of events which
throws upon the power that first thrust
him into the Governorship the odious task
of putting him back there again after the
people had expelled him. General Grant
must now carry his crime against Louisi
ana to it* logical consequence. Ho upheld
the usurper; he will now use the nriiy of
the United States to dispossess the govern
ment which ho knows to be the legiti mute
ono. We wish him joy of his occupation.
[Philadelphia Telegraph, Radical.]
There is something more in this present
difficulty than a white man’s piirty move
ment: and a true spirit of statesmanship,
whether in the White House or among tho
people of the country, cannot fail to recog
nize the fact that the men who are now
under arms at New Orleans for the purpose
of forcing the abdication of Kellogg nave
suffered wrongs which they would be un
worthy the name of America!! citizens did
they not resent.. Hud such n game as that
which Kellogg has played in Louisiana
been attempted in tbisor any other North- j
cm State, there would havo lieen an ap
peal to arms long ago; and iu judging of
the conduct of the New Orleans insurrec
liotfists oaf people.should consider for a
few moments how they would like it them
selves to be dominated over two years by a
gang of rnffiuns, and then be threatened
with disfranchisement because there was
u prospect of sn appeal to the ballot-box
at a reasonably honestly conducted elec
tion would result in the usurpers being
driven from power and perhaps brought to
punishment.
[Chicago Tribune.]
Had this Kellogg usurpation been at
tempted in Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan, it
would not have been tolerated one day by
tho people of either State; nor could ail
the army aud navy of the United States
havo induced or compelled them to sub
mit to such an ntrociohs despotism* Aind
fraud. Wlmt has taken place in Louisiana
twenty months after the crime wns first
committed would have taken place liereou
the instant and no Federal troops nor Ex
ecutive proclamations would have been
interposed or could havo availed to
restrain tho outraged people from hurling
the usurpers from their places.
[N. Y. Herald.)
Wliftt kind of a government !s flint
which needs an army to protect it from
tho wrath of tho people it misrules ? It is
here, we think, that the higher duty of
the President begins. He bus carried out
tho strict letter of the law by replacing
Kellogg; now let him net in the spirit of
tho constitution, which guarantees a ‘'re
publican form of government” to every
State, and use the immense moral intlu.
ence of his office to obtuin an honest elec
tion of anew governor by tho people.
Not by tho terror of bayonets, but only by
measures of justice, enu Louisiana be
restored to her truo place.
Tho President cannot ignore these facts.
The Republican party cannot live unless it
adopts a nobler policy toward the South;
nor can the North lw< true to tho Union
while such crimes us that of the Kellogg
government aro clothed with tho sacred
ness of the national constitution. With
us alone rest the responsibility. We con
quered thu South; wo accepted the bur
dens of conquerors; we destroyed its ar
mies; wo exhausted its wealth and its
resources, we annihilated its credit; we
paralyzed its social system, we crannci
. pitted the slaves, and in doing so tiirew its
l-ieh dominant governing class into
poverty. In doing this wo virtually
imposed upon the Southern people a war
fine infinitely greater ■ than that imposed
upon Franco by Germany. We imposed
ruin upon tho-Soutbern States in a spirit
of brotherly love, and, not satisfied
with this- -which might have been re
garded as the unavoidable results of a war
wantonly begun by the Smith—we stimu
lated and recognized a system of govern
ment which not only has brought scandal
upon the American nnine, lint threatens a
St. Domingo war of races and the adop
tion by many States of- the policy of re
pudiation.
There is only one way to treat this
question, and that is the right way. Let
the administration be just toward Louisa-!
mf. The revolution lisS ended in a ma
jestic protest against acknowledged
wrqug. Let ns accept the protest by
removing the wrong. For the present wo
can do justice to this State, and iu tho fu
ture we can enter upon the consideration
of those grave problems resulting from
the war, which bear fruit in Louisiana,
as to-morrow they may hear fruit in Wis
consin and California—problems of recon
struction, labor, race and finance —by a
national convention of peace and recon
struction. Louisiana is a swift aud tcr
riblo argument in favofbt such a conven
tion.
CIVIL RIGHTS BILL - DECISION OF
THE SUPREME COURT OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
This was an action brortght by a negro
to recover damages from* Railroad for re
fusing to permit hfm to ru\e in near, es
pecially assigned to trbittiti This caao is
referod to in 2nd Am. Latw Ilev.:
; “Tho right to separatfe being clear in
proper cases, and it being the subject of
sound regulation, the question remaining
to bo Considered is, whether there iH such
a difference between tho w hite and black
races within this State, resulting from na
tnrO, law and custom, asihakeAit a reason
able gronud of separation. Tho question
is one of difference, not of superiority or in
feriority. Why the CreaW'made one black
and the other white wo do not know, but
the fact is apparent and the races arc dis
tinct, each producing its own kind and
following the peculiar law of its constitu
tion.
Goncediug equality, with natures ns per
fect and rights as sacred, yet God has made
them dissimilar, with those natural feelings
and instinct which He always impart to
His creatures when He iutemls that they
shall not overstep the natural boundaries
ho has assigned them. The natural law
which forbids their intermarriage and that
social amalgamation which leads to a cor
ruption of races is as clearly divine as that
which imparted to thorn different natures.
The tendency of intimate social inter
mixture is to amalgamation, contrary to
the law of races. Tho separation of the
white and black races upon the surface of
tho globe is a fact equally apparent.
Why this is so it is not necessary to spec
ulate; but the fact of a disruption of men
by. nice and color is as visible in the provi
dential arrangement of the earth as that
of heat Unit cold; The natural separation
of the races is, therefore, an undeniable
fact, and nil social organizations which
lead to their amalgamation arc repugnant
to the law of nature.
From social amalgamation, it is but a
step to illicit intercourse, and but another
to intermarriage. But to assort sopnr'
stcncss is not to declare inferiority in
either, it is not to declare one a slave and
the other a freeman; that would bo to
draw the illogical sequence of inferiority
from difference only. It is simply to say
that, following the order of Divine Frov
idence, human authority ought not to
compel these widely separate races to in
termix. The right of each to be free
from social contact is as clear as to be frt-e
from intermarriage. The former may be
j less repulsive as a condition, but not lees
entitled to protection ns a right. When,
therefore, we declare a right to maintain
separate relations as far ns reasonably
practicable, but in a spirit of kindness
and charity, ami with due repaid to equal
ity of rights, it is not prejudice, nor taste,
nor injustice of any kind, hut simply to
suffer men to follow the law of races es
tablished by the Creator himself, and not
compel them to intermix contrary to their
instincts. ”

Washington, Sept. 15.—Tho President
having received from Gov. Kellogg, by

Louisiana from domestic violence, it being 1
made in accordance with Article 4, section J

K. C. WADE, UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER AND ASSISTANTREVE.
NUE COLLECTOR. IN THE POST- OFFICE ON FRIDA Y, THE 18 th
INST., MANIPULATING THE PACKAGES OF G ALLAH Eli'S
INDEPENDENT, SEALED AND DIRECTED TO AN
OTHER OFFICE.
On Friday of last week, after our packages of papers were completely folded with
paper wrappers well pasted, E. 0. Wade, United States Commissioner and assistant
Revenue collector, manipulated onr packages sent to Moultrie, in Colquitt county.—
liow many lio put back iu the paper covering, we are unable to say ; but can assert
that he could not replace them in the same paper. Whether ho sent all, or any, we
have not learned; but understand he says he opened them to get a list of the names.—
By what authority, we enquire, does he open packages put in this office, directed to
another office ? Wo have a perfect right to put our packages in the oflieo, directed to
onr subscribers to any Post-Office in the United States, and if not taken out there, it
is the dnty of the Post-Master, to whose office they are directed, to notify us of the
fact, and the Department furnishes blanks for that purpose. When the numerous
complaints reach us from our subscribers, we have heretofore boon inclined to attrib
ute tho wrong to Post-Masters at the office where sent; but, now, the manipulator has
lioen caught in the act of opening the packages, and the only excuse he could render
was that ho didn't believe the Murphrys’, iu Colquitt county, would take a Democratic
paper. How did ho know Murphrys’ names were in the packages until he opened
them ? And if lie did know it, wliat right had he to decide that the Murphrys’ were
not subscribers ? If it was any part of his official business to know to whom "we were
sending papers, he could have called at this office, anil wc would have takeu pleasure
in showing him our list containing the Murphry names and who subscribed for them.
But the right way and correct principles seem to lie exceedingly obnoxious to onr
Radical Commissioner. Perhaps, he is fishing up a prosecution with tho hope of get
ting tip another bill of costs. We, now, notify Mr. E. C. Wade, the mail manipula
tor, that we have no acquaintance with any of the Murphrys’, nor any one of the nine
ty seven men we are sending the paper to nt Moultrie and McDonald Post-offices,
which he has so carefully collated from the packages which he broke open, and fur
ther, we have had no communications from any of them ou the subject of sending the
IrniEFKN-DENT to them. And, now, if Mr. E. C. Wade thinks it is a good ease for a
bill of costs he can just appear before his own august personage and swear bv himself
or before a looking glass, and by himself issue a warrant and send Marshal' Samuel,
the Post-Master, around and we will readily appear before his satrapical majesty and
notify him, as we do now, that he can’t blackmail ns out of one cent.
We do not know whether E. C. Wade is Deputy Post-Master or not, but we do as
sort, upon reliable authority, that lie manipulated the mail packages sent from this
office and directed to Moultrie, and we believe it to be a gross violation of the postal
laws, for which, under an honest Democratic Administration, he would be punished
with great severity. But with the present thieving Administration, he knows that his
license is unlimited, and that if Indicted for robbing the mail, and his guilt establish
ed beyond a doubt, that the corrupt juries would acquit him, and the still more c.or
nip‘ Ydministrahoii would, for his fealty to party principles, give him a still higher
position.

TUB PRESIDENT'S POSITION.
After signing the proclamation, which in
almost an exact copy of one previously is
sued concerning events in Louisiana, the
President himself wrote two military or
dew addressed to the commanders, saying
in effect that they mnst protect life and
preserve the peace to the best of their
ability. All orders to be issued by them
must previously be submitted to the prnp
er military authorities here for approval,
Troops will be sent t<> New Orleans in such
numbers as may lie required, as the Presi
dent is determined to save life and pre
serve the peace.
The President in conversation to-day ex -
pressed his surprise at the conduct of the
j opponents of the Kellogg Government
]in resorting to arms to maintain their
; political position; in other words, inaugu
rating s civil war. He had to many citi
zens of Louisiana expressed a kimllv dis
i position toward the people, and hoped for
! better tilings, but it seemed they had
misjudged if they thought a resort to
violence on their jxirt would pass by un
noticed by the Government. In this con
nection he incidentally remarked that
prompt moasnres would suppress further
1 disturbances, and a similar course would
j have saved the country from the late re
bellion.
COMMUNICATION WITH KCLLOfia CUT OPE.
Tlie authorities have heard nothing
, from Kellogg since morning. The sup
position is that the rebels hold that part
of the city where the telegraph office is.
It cannot be ascertained by the Attorney-
General whether tho story is true, sent by
the Associated Press, that Kellogg.
Packard and others have taken refuge in
the Custom House. Everything hero
awaits corre ct information ns to the situa
tion, though tiie disposition of the troops
will at once Ire made to provide against any
emergency.
Gen. Emory, in a despatch dated yes
terday, addressed to Gen. McDowell nud
sent to the War Department, says he lias
Dot troops enough to maintain himself if
a conflict should unfortunately occur be
tween the troops and insurgents; aud
further, that the mere pnwence of troops
has lost its moral effect in preventing or
suppressing disturbances.
During the troubles in Ixrnisiann. the
Attorney -General bos been receiving fro- •
qnent dispatches from Marshal Packard,

thought, as well as over every word and
action.

any besetting evil.
To bring the “solemn, solemn, solemn”
hour of departure often before thine eyes.
In whatever business thy hands are en

watching, and who has taken Christ as his
Prophet, Priest and King. —Sir Richard
