Two year# ago, coiiuting the votes for

Editor hulupentleiUl
Hut—ln your last issue, yon placed my
name among others as a Radical and an
euetuy to the white people, lu that yon did
me an injustice; I am not the enemy of
the white people; they hnvo been my
friend* and the only friend* that could aid
me in waking a support for myself and
family. And I earnestly confess that I
have been mislead uud deceived. I know
nothing of politic*, and was induced to net
with the Radical party under impressions
mude upon my mind by white men and
black men, and I now see Unit me and my
race has been deceived by these bad men.
Tlio scales have fallen from my eyes, und 1
uow sea that I have been ungrateful to
those that have been my only support and
are now my billy Jiope for future support.
The fact that I have discovered my -error
is the reason that I propose to take a dif
ferent stand in the future. Me and my
rueo have acted more from passion than
principle. We have been told what 1 have
learned to bo falsehoods. Wo buvo been
told that the Democrats were our enemies,
aud all they said to us wore false, and urg
ed the black people to denounce and
threaten with violence any black man who
would vote the democratic ticket. When
I took a stand and determined to vote for
Ciiptnin Turner, I was threatened wit h vio
lence, Mid told that I would not be allowed
to stay hero by colored men, who were on
intimate terms with Wade and Griffin. It
was my declared purpose to vote for Cap
tain Turner, nml would have done it, but
I wu* afraid; I felt the force of the threats,
aud I knew where they originated, and
they were not from the black meu’a minds.
But white men hna caused all the tronble
that the black people lias had. I will he
governed l>y the advice of the true people
of the country in the future, and turn my
hack on Carpet-baggers and Scalawags. I
am not turning against my race, but against
bad white men that has deceived them and
me. I now see my error nml hope they i
will soon see theirs,'and turn from the do- j
reivers to the true and reliable white men ,
of the country. Any sensible negro knows
that if the w hite people of this country
were onr guemies, that they could get rid
of ns at once by refusing ns employment.
I confess that I um astonished that the
white people has born with us as long ns
they have. This is the best evidence of
their kindness to our race, and I. for our,
will ever feel grateful to thorn.

If we haVe given publicity to a man’s er
rors that is calculated to injure him, if he
j will show us reasons that will excuse him
or even mitigate the offense, we take’
pleasure in giving him the full benefit of
it, therefore, we publish the statement of
Ouss McAfee.
When we take iuto consideration all the i
facts, we cannot justify the course that
Guss has heretofore persued, for he Usd ;
sense enough to see and know that his in- j
terests were identified with the white peo
ple. He had sense enough to know that he
was wholly dependant upon the white
people for patronage snd support. He
had sense enough to know that the people
were hardened with taxes. II had sense
enough to see that all the intelligent people
were in favor of a change of administra
tion and anew system of Government. — j
He had sense enough to be governed by
tie honest and intelligent wlnte people in ]
preference to the disreputablewhi.i. v-d-ipa
and ignorant negroe*. The only circuni-
Malice he oft'ers in mitigation ia that he ]
waa afraid of violence from hi* own race, j
instigated by these bail while men, whole j
believe* to be capable of advising the ig
uorunt ones of hi* race to commit crime
of the deepest dye.
This fiat, we think, greatly mitigates hn j
past offense*, with liia declared purpose t< ,
tm u hi* hack in the future upon the evil j
doer* and worker# of iniquity. Notwith j
standing, he ha* been threatened and as j
! hured that he could not live here if In
voted with the while people, evi üby th.
presiding elder, Mr. ltill I’riec. Hi? now
j feel* for the sake of principle that he wil .
j risk these duiig<tgy. And now, we, tin
■ white people, agaiu assure Mr. Wade and
j Griffin that we are the black muu'a true
i friend, and defy them to employ any ol j
: ibeir villainous agencies b disturb him
i We will protect them in all tiieir civil umt
| political rights, and Wade mid Chitlin ilare
; not disturb them. Now, we want every
: colored man that has voted the Radical
I ticket through fear, to come to this office
mid register his name, and if he wishes to
act witli the white people in the future,
we piomise them that they will be special
| objects of the w hite people’s protection.
I Wo don’t want them to vote Democrutji
through fear. Wowaiutthem tovote like
honorable citizen*. We have no threats to
makeagaiust any who vote the Radical tick
1 et. We have ample strength; a plenty with
out them, and ill the peaceful exercise ol
their rightto vote that ticket, we w ill protect
them. Now. black men, we adviao you to
cut loose from your evil associates, Wade
and Origin, and vote us you always ouglil
to have done, as you thought lor your coun
try's best interests. To vote tor White
j ley now,is hko burning your ticket; lie w ill
Ibe beat 3,000 votes. Hut every one of you
| that wants to vote for him, do it like a
man; we will all protect you in it. Again
we say to ail the black men who wish to
acts with the Democratic party, and are
ul'ruid of Wade and Griffin, come to this
office uud give us your names uud we will
assure you protection. Wehopetlie whit,
people everywhere in the county will read
this to the black people uud advise them
to do so, aud-assure them of protection.
Don’t persuade them to vote the Democrat
ic ticket; wo have plenty without them.
A BIG FRIGHT.
AVe were sorry to lenrn that onr mild
and persuasive articles of last week so
seriously alarmed Commissioner Wade and
l’ost-master Griffin that they had mude
preparations to lock up and leave. Our
article contained no threats except such
as is essential in self-defense. We can
prove that negroes have been intimidated
by their wicked followers and prevented
from voting the Democratic ticket. Wo
can prove that they nave admonished the
negroes all the time not to listen to or be
lieve anything a Demoerat'tells them; that
they have advised them all to come to the
towu district to vote. This was done with
a view to a riot aud to have an overwhelm
ing force of negroes present to intimidate
: some of their race who wanted to vote
j Democratic, and to bo sufficiently strong
i so ns to stimulate them to insult and even
! attempt to murder white meu. What
we stated to these counselors was, let
the negroes at the coming Congressional;
election vote at their own precincts where
they will not meet in large numbers and
iu their iguoi-auce encourage one another
to raise difficulties, and not advise them to
come to this precinct where by numbers
they will be emboldened to deeds of vio
lence and bloodshed. We hope they will
not do it. We want pence and harmony.
We don’t propose to intimidate u single
black man to prevent his voting. We have
! political strength enough. A large number
I of black men will vote with us; they have
weighed Wade and Griffin iu the balance
and found them wanting. With these
admonitions, we repeat wliat we said j
in our last. If they do encourage j
the mean negroes to come to town I
to raise a riot and a white man’s j
blood is shod theirs shall atone for it. The j
sensible, honest, prudent negroes are go
ing to vote with us this time, aud the
scalawags are welcome to their thieving
j gang. To take them, eat with them,
i drink with them, and v sleep with them
! upon terms of equality and excite them j
j to violence if they choose, at their own
peril. ,
B“v Dr. Cuvier writes: “Hay what wc i
may of th rapid growth of our American
' towns, the monster strides of the British

THE EXQUISITE.
Mrs. Grant, of Thomnsville attended
Whiteley’s last politcul hurrangue and was
so charmed with him that she claims no
longer to lie Mra. Grant, but Mrs. White
ley. Mrs. Grant’s sentiment we lenrn was
reciprocated by Dick and they, to all ap
pearance*, richly enjoyed tun evening nttei
tlm speaking ended. The only known rr.
suits ol the interview is that she declared
she is no longer Mrs. Grant, but Mrs.
Whiteh-y. We must say that although
Mrs. Grant's auticedcmts are unknown to \
us, that by her recent as
sociation with Whitelcy, that she lnm cast
a shadow over her cluoacter, equally as
! sombre as her own complexion. We
havu’t the most remote idea that any ne
gro, male or female, who has any claim to
respectability will notice the Mrs. Grant,

Second Sight.
It is narrated that in Kinsman, Trum
bull cuuty, 0., there is a little girl of ten
years who has developed a faculty of see
ing Without the use of eye*. Home months
ago an elder sister was attacked with in
flammation of the eyes, and the young, r
one atteiulytl hex nutil ahe regained tier
Kight. The little nnrne wns nfterwirU at
tacked with the same direosc, slid com
pletely lost her sight. li.-r eyes were
securely bandaged to exclude the light,
uml she was confined in a darkened room,
liy degrees, it is said, she developed the
faculty of distinguishing objects without
the no- of her eyes. Hhe could point out
persons, and. scribe tlnir attitudes and
actions, und moreover distinguish daylight
and duikncas. To test her powers still
further anew book was given to her. Hire
opened it, described the pictures, and
l tin.illy was enabled to read it fluently, ln-r
i eyes all the time being bandaged. She has
* siuee recovered her ocular sight, and her
eyes are pronounced by physician* to be
perfectly sound. Hut strange to say, the
: faculty of seeing without them remains,
uud when bhudfolded and placed in a dark
mom she can see with ease. The case has
puzzled the doctors. They are uncertain
whether the eyes have actually recovered
their power, or whether the faculty of see
ing without them has not survived entirely.
Not many years ago this professed power
would have subjected tin* child to torture.
There are histoiical cases of alleged second
sight which have heretofore been treated
as myths, A severe test of the present
case would throw some light upon the ut
terly unintelligible science which, for the
waut of a better name, has been termed
psychology—a term nobody can define.

A Fiendish Revenge.
Home years ago a woman calling herself
Bridget Malbnuy applied to Dr. Jackson, j
of Columbus, Ivy., for the place of cook. [
Employment was given her, and for a
short while she gave satisfaction. A few
day* ago the doctor noticed some irregn-;
1 iritii-s iu her life, nml notified her that
she must look out foi another home. This
appeared to infuriate her beyond control;
the pent-up devil in her nature burst forth
in a fury that sent the doctor scampering
fir the police and the family for an ssylum !
of safety. When he returned Budget had
departed, leaving his mirrors and furniture
a w reck. It appears that, from u mistaken
kindness, she was not prosecuted, but al
lowed to departed unmolested. From bis
residence she went to the hotel or board
ing house kept by all estimable (h-rimtn
Catholic named Switzer, near the M. and
O. Railroad. Hhe easily imposed herself
upon the good nature of this lady, and was
permitted to stop with her, paying her
hoard in work. Hhe behaved badly agaiu,
and Mis S. discharged her. Instead of
going off, however, she went up into Mrs.
H.’m room {it was immediately after break
fast) and sent for this lady from the diiui
ing-room. When she got iuto her pres
ence she commenced to abuse her in a
most shameful manner. Mrs Hwitzher
tried to quiet her, and expressed sympathy
for her. Bridget told her that she had
better sympathize' with herself, and mude ]
at her. Mrs. H. rushed down stairs, leav

tie bov four years t>hl, two daughters aged
respectively six and ten, in the room. The ’
oldest says that the two children were in \

the Christians seems to be received in full
force in the Ottoman Empire, as appears
by a dispatch to the London Times, dated
' September 24th which we annex.
“There appears to be a revival of re
ligious intolerance in Turkey. Not only
is the observance of the Mohammedan
ritual to be enforced, but as a letter from
Peru states, long-forgotten ordinances
prohibiting the residence of Christians in
the Turkish quarter have been revived.
The subordinates have carried out their
instructions with great brutality, bundling
the people and their fnniture into the
streets. Several Germans employed on
the Roumeiian railway, who were obliged
to live near the liue, have been thus
treated. The decree of 1840 and the
| Boat? of 1856 promised that nobody
should be molested on account of his re
igious opinions. Ireaties of commerce
i permit foreigners to carry on business in
any part of the empire, with the exeep
; !i,, n of single province, aud their leases
and other contracts have been treated as
i u 'P :ll b >’ Hie authorities. The measures
now taken are, therefore, a violation of
j the treaty obligations.
