Those Ku Klux letters that nro being

nro doubtless gotten up by the
Radicals for tho very purpose of being

could make them two votes somewhere
else these scamps would prefer him dead

their leaders the negroes should ahmv a
disposition to get up a difficulty. While
wo are not called upon to submit to every

me that it will not be long be face the
Democrats will control not only the State

THE CHATTAKOOGA COH VENTICH.
This conclave of Radical*, Carpet-bag
gers, Scalawags, *cautnJr>* nad thievei
adjourned without-accomplishing anything
except to appoint n Manufacturing Com
mittee, to couopot Southern outrage*,
■danders ami lies for the next Congress.
Wo suppose they concluded it was too lute
to make much impression upon Hie ap
proaching elections, ami the next, heat
thing they eonld do was to invent false
hoods to be reported to Congress for the
purpose-of keeping out the Democrat
who will bbjegally elected. If imaginary out
rages and wholesale slander can answer in
the place of legal votes, wo are persuaded
these Radicals have struck upon the right
plau for electing congressmen. They have
a talent in that lino that defies all compe
tition. With fertile imagination*, stimu
lated by hatred to the Smith and their love
of office ami plunder and no conscience to
check them, who can pretend to limit their
r •sources in this]respect? If necessary that
there should be some violence or threats
iu order to give a little semblance of truth
to their gross falsehoods, they can soon
arrange for this and have it charged to
Democratic intolerance.
But we arc persuaded that after all their
reign is rapidly approaching its end. The
prejudice of the Northern people is begin
■ling to abate, and ns soon as their passions
coot sufficiently for reason to resume its
sway, they will, no longer be. humbugged
by too glowing publications of Radical of
tice-holders. And where a returning justice
ocgfns to possess the minds of the people,
those Who have lived aad prospered by

The Elf cts of Abcentteism.
During tho past xntumor all the headauf

reach by free pawsca, ami stay with free

dav tlio c’h fks left at Mashiiigtou, apoiug
On-ip superiors, got up a sort of shabby
presentation amt handl’d to Assistant Sec
retary (.Vwau a Gotham silver tea set.
These undttr official's not beiug accustomed
to this soil of ilatteiy, reminded tho con
tributors through Commissioner Leggett
that it'd pattii’ipauta were to lie discharged
uuder a law requiring this punishment to
|bo inflicted. Tho net reads that on “all
■ collectors for and contributors to presents
to heads of departifletrts, bureaus, or di
visions shall be dis in issud from office.” The
“boy" thought it was a joke at first, but
now they find it is serious and begin to
think the present was entirely too small to
'.meet'with tit” pnq>w reception. They
j plead ignorance of the law, and sent a
1 youug lady to assume the.w hole responsi
bility, but Leggct virtuously informed her
that the admission could ouly concern her
self and not exempt the other contributors
! Tho law requires tiro summary discharge
of those iu the government service who
contribute La- such purpose. Definite ac
-1 tion will not be taki n until tlio return of
Secretary Delano, who is daily expected.
There is no way of. evading the law except
try discharging the contributors uud then
tv appoint them.
As there is uo of mention any return of
i the tea si t.w ■ suppose the virtuous ituliguu
tiou will appease itself by the mode sug

And then when years trial honors and

The Utica llertdd explains the Repub

is a triumph of the inflationists. How
unfortunate that the same explanation will
not serve for iudiatuv, where Senator
Morton waged tiro contest to tho bitter
end upon his platform of additional cur
rency ! Expansion was tho pet hobby of
both parties in that State; but then the
Utica Her.ild does not attempt to account

RADICAL VILLIAHY.
. The negroes have no toleration for op
position from their own color, and have
an httle notion of civil or political liberty
as the tribes in Central Afi iea. A case in
point verifies this assertion. Hill Smith, i
colored, a Baptist preacher on rat Butler. :
voted the straight Dcmuorutio ticket in ,
the late election -supporting liutlurford i
and Fiokhng with all his might - saying :
plainly to the white peoplo that lie was
willing to aid them in electing honest and
competent men to mako laws to govern
all classes alike. Smith is pastor of the
church at Butler, and has been for over
two yearn. On Saturday night some vib
ltanous scoundrels set tiro to anew house
that he was building near the town, and ;
burnt it to the ground. Sunday night j
after he was through preaching, and was'
singing the elosiug hymn, Slijm'b.idy I
threw a largo iron hall, weighing five or j
six pounds, at him in the pulpit, missing
his body only a few feet, That same night
tlio church building was leveled to the i
ground by the iueeniTiary'storch. Things;
J are coming to a pretty pass.in that conn-:
ty. liaudaulct Williams ought to send a
few troops over there to protect the life
and property of a colored man, who has
the manliness to exercise his elective fre.n-1
chine just, as he chouses. The whites j
should stand by this colored man, and
show him that they are hi, best friend,
and aid him in ferreting out the perpetra
tors of this damnable deed, and bring j
them to punishment. -Fort Valley

“Well, Aliss Anthony, you only did one
foolish thing; that was when you sat on
Theodore Tilton’s knee.
M .ss Anthony smiled all over her face.
“Well,” she said, slowly and with a sort
of grim humor, “that was my ouly lapse i
from rigorous virtue. All the men deel.u - 1
ed that Susan was so sour that she couldn't i
get a husband, and I thought l would i
show them I could sit on a young man’s !

me. Now, 1 will of he interv owed and I

The white Unionists of the northern

Attorney Williams down, are moving
heaven and earth to create trouble, as
their only hope lies in Federal interference

result of the eh ctions in the West on last

They are having a sweet time of it in j
Louisiana. The negroes are so intimi-'

to register more than ten times ns many

of the grave 1 train engine, whioh inirne- ;
diately started down on the up truck with
no one on board, its engiuecr and fireman
having jumped oif just b, fore the engines

i hu.k the down track in order to give warn- !
ing to the approachiug New York train. !
Tht* race was very exciting, the pursuing I
engine rushing along on its mission of
life ut over a mile a minute, finally pass
ing the runaway engine, stopping the up
train at Custloton, ami turning the switch ,
so as to throw the runaway off the track a
short distance above ('ustletou, X. Y.
However, the runaway engine ran off the
track, thus averting ail danger. Hail not I
the Now York train been providentially

it in probable that it would have collided

“Hurrah for Tilden!” raid the ten year
old seioit of one of oiu sterlingcity Demo
crats, the other day, as he was let out of
school, full of vitu and glee. “Hurrah for
the devil !” said a Dix boy, in a sarcastic
; tone, which was expected to lie a settler.
“All right, ” said the young Tildeuite. "All
right. You blow for your man, and I’ll
yell for mine—'Rah for Tilden!"

A Snake Kate~r
The Richmond Register gyre* an account
1 of a Htiunge character who lives iu Waco,
in Madison county. Ho is •about forty
■ years of age, ami is a hermit extraordinary.
• Refusing to live in the habitations of men,
S lit* fr* quentw the woods, dark hollows and
! cavern*, where he live#, and neither sum
mer storms nor piecing winter winds are
| able to drive him away from his solitary
. abode. His mode of living is not very ex
! tmvngiUjt, hk he purchases ten cent's worth
of men! at a time, which he keeps in a
black ttacbel and uses for a pillow, with the
bare ground for his couch, end naught
save tin* blue canopy of heaven fora cover
ing. Il- passes the most of his time in
sleep. In appearance he is lean and cada
verous, PoHsessing an omniverous gullet,
he ears snakes, lizards, skunks, ground
hogs, rats, moles and all creeping things.
Last week he ate a ground-hog which
had been killed two weeks previous; pntre- j
faction had taken place, but he said it was
splendid. He cooks his food in a novel
manner, his only utensil for that purpose I
being an old coffee pot, into which he puts j
ruts and other articles of food, sprinkling
with a little meal, over which he points j
some water a#d nets it on the fire to warm, i
and then devours it. He conks snakes by !
by rousting. He ate a large cow snake roast' 1
ed hist week, sucked the bones, and pro- !
nounced it a sumptuous repast. He refuses .
to eat ut a table, though repeatedly urged
to do so, or to partake f any food uideaa |
prepared by bimaeiL Strange to say. this j
singular specimen of lnuiiunity can both
rend and write, and possesses a fair educa
tion. His colloquial powers are good,
though he seldom and sparingly admits oi j
intercourse. Studiously avoiding society,
his whole nature seems to be warped by :
morußeiieto and tiiisanthmpy.
A Story with a Moral.
Those who have reml the Arabian N’itrhta
wili ri’inenita’r with pleasure the delightful
story of the talking bird, the singing tree :
and the yellow water. These treasures
were, to be the reward of him who should
climb the liiii on which they were located.
The ouly difficulty in ascending the bill i
arose out of the fact tliat from the moment
the first step was taken hideous noise; T
ejaculations, insults, threats, Ac., arose
behind the adventurer, which grew louder !
and increased in vehemence as he neared j
the goal. Htifety consisted in pressing for
ward and looking not back. One glance to !
tho roar transformed the seek, r into a j
small black stone, whereof thousands I
covered tiie hill side.
It is tints with the Democratic and Con- j
servative party. No sooner does it begin !
to climb the hill than Radicalism raises all
manner of diabolical sounds to romped it
to look back. Let ns, therefore, he warned j
by the moral of the Arabian (ale, arid east
no glance backwards. Two young princes, !
who* taul commenced the ’ascent of the,
hill with hopeful hearts, turned to confront
and chastise those whom they supposed to !
be so close behind, insulting, gibing and
abusing them, and wore turned to stone.
The princess, who followed her brolhiiss,
looked not back—-paid no heed to the
mocking multitude, and was successful.
Twice since the war Ml the Democratic
and Conservative party turned to defend I
itself against its tormentors, and twice has
it been defeated. Let it now emulate the
example of the princess and press steadily
forward to victory. The vast increase in
number anil volume of the taunting,
slanderous voices betokens that we are
almost to the top of the hill.—Montgomery
Advertiser.
A Colorado Orator.— At two o’clock
Hummel stood tip before the vast multi
tude (nine people) and with a trembling
voice eloquently began:
Fellow-Citizens—Where is my oppo
nent ? Why, my friends, lie is nowhere,
f feel myself as much above my opponent
ns a possum in a persimmon tree does
above tho ground he crawls ou. I ask
you, my thick-headed brethren, in the
name o£ the shaggy-headed lion which
whipped the great North American eagle;
I call on yon, my brainless hearers, in the
name of the peacock of liberty which flew
over tlse Rocky Mountains—to come to my
rescue. Come on the Bth of Sepembt-r.
and promote me to the office to which I
perspire and when you shall liavo been
dead, and the sage bush and the willow shall
have entwined themselves around your
graves, then will your sons and daughters
come to me and say. Hummel, some years
ago our fathers voted for van for the office
of commissioner of Cotdder county, Col. I
Then will l say, roil ou. thou silver moon;!
I will stand by you in all your tribulations,
till the last day in the evening.— Longmont j
(Col.) luier-Ocenn.
The Reion of Terror in Alabama.—
The military dragonade now going on in,
Alabama would disgrace the vilest despot- ‘
ism in Europe. The darkest days of Polish !
persecution presents no parallel of military |
outrage for such trivial cause. A govern- 1
ment that is capable of such utter disre- j
gat’d of the principles of civil liberty, right!
and justice, is nnwortliy to be called a Re- j
public. And vet we are told not to blame !
