If that bo quietly conceded in this tenor* atJon.lt will harden Into custom, until the bulge of inferiority will attach to tho northern white man os odiously as ever the Norman noble pump ed it upon the Saxon churl. A PKMACOOUK COMPARISON. This subject is of deep Interest to the laboring men ol the north. With tbo southern democracy triumphant in their states and In the nation, the nigrowill be compelled to work for Just such wages ns tho whites maydewiro???wages which will amount, ss did the supplies of the slaves, to a bare subsistence, equaJ in cosh, porhspi, to thirty-five cents per day, ss an average f r.tlre south, Tbo white laborer in the north will raon feel tho effect of this upon his own The republicans have already seen, from the oar* llcst i??jK of reconstruction, that waqcs in tho r onth must be raised to the Just racoon pen o of the Is borer, or wage* Id the north ruiuoudy low ered, and the party have steadily worked f- formcr result. Rovcrso influence* will now be set In motion, and tbecondition of aihirs will bepro dead which years ago Mr. Mbc-jId warml the free laboring men of the north, will prove hostile U?? thtir indct*cnd(nce, and will inevitably lent to a ruinous reduction of wages. The mere differ dice in tho eolor of tho skin will not Mifilco to maintain an entirely dliferout star dsrd of wage* In rootfgiiou* and adjacent Maks, and they will be com polled to yield to it. Forcsitpletely have the colored nien In tho south been already deprived, by the democratic pirty, of their constitutional and legal rights as eitlsen* of the United States, that they regard the advent of that party to national power ns tho signal of their downfall, and aro affrighted because tiicy think sll legal protection for them Is gone. A I'RANTIC WAVS OP THR RLOoliY HllfP.r. Few persons in the north realise how complete ly the chief* of the rebellion wield the political lower which has triumphed In the lato election, It Ik b portentous fact that tho democratic sena tors who come from tho state* the late confederacy-all???and I moan all without a single exception, personally ptrUcipM* cd in the rebclllou against tho uational gnroru merit. It Isa still more slguilldiiit fact that In these states no man who was loyal to the United States, no matter how strong a democrat ho may c to-di-y, has the slightcM chnnco of poUtinul prominence. Ono great avenue to honor In that stctlon Is a record of xea oiu servico in the war sgsiust the government. It is certainly an astound ing fact that tho section In which friendship for the union In tho day cd Its trial kii??1 ajonyls ???till a political disqualification, should be called now to rule over tho union. All this took plaoo during the lifetime of the generation that fought the war and elevated Into practical command of tho American govern mint, the Identical men who organized for its de struction, and plunged us Into the bloodiest oon to t of me di-in times. I have spoken of thesonth placed by the late election In possession of the government, and I mean all that my words Imply, iiir norm in control ov tiikoovkbnmhnt, 1 lie south furnished nearly thro?? fourths of tho h* total vottR that defeated the republican party, and they will step to tho command of the demo crats ss unchallenged and ns unrestrained as they h*Id the same position for thirty years before the civil war. Gentlemen, there cannot be political in*quality Against citterns of n free republic. There fShnot bo a minority of white men south ruling tho majority of white men In thr north. Patriotism, sclf-ro* pert, pride, protection for person and safety for country all cry out against it. Tho very thought of It Mira the blood of men who Inherit equality from the pilgrims who first stood on Plymouth rock, and from tho liberty loving patriots who came to Delaware with William Penn It become* the primal qtitstlou of American manhood. It demands a hearing and a scttlrraeqit, nud that setthment will vlndlrato the equality of Ameri can citizens in all personal nud civil rights. It will, at least, establish the equality ol the whlto ure n under tbo national government, and will give to the northern man who fought to preverve thr union as large avolro In its government ns mry to exercised by the southern man who fought to dektroy tbo union. KOMimilNU l'XIWONAU The contest Just closed utterly forbids my dis cussing llic late of tha candidates whether aueeos- ful ornnsnecissful.

Im, jANxroi.jH, November 18.???Captain E. A. Johnson, who recently shot and killed Major Edwin Henry in the inountaina of Tennessee, haa been here several days collecting tonti- tnony to to ustd in his trial, which takes place in a few weeks at Greenville. IIU bail bond hoe be (it signed by dozen* of the wealthiest men of Kart Tennessee,and no one doubts that he will be- nrquitte-d. Captain Johnson's wife, Marietta, a young woman of great beauty and refinement, a daughter of Dr. Griffith of this city, committed suicide'here last fall under very psinftil circumstance*, and an effort was rnoao by her relative*! to provo that her des perate act was mused by her huiibaad'a cruel- ty. When her father went so far ns to carry bin grievance into the courts in an effort to so- cure bis daughter'* uliaro of Captain Johnson's property, the captain made a statement of his trouble and left it in tho bands of aclergymsa with instructions to use it in his defense whon er he *nw fit. Afteltho suicido of Mrs. Johnson her hue- land, v. Lo was iu the service of tho United Slates pension bureau, went to Ea tTonncneo, where nis official heudquarters were, and, bo ing in poor health, took his gun aud went into the ruxtintaiiis. Major Henry, who came or- iginitlly bom Flushing,and who lmd reason to believe that Johnson would kill him on flight, bad also lied to the mountain* and kept him- If in hiding there for several months. John- n knew where he was, hut did not make any effort to find him. In September last, alter a long ramble in the woods, Johmou found himself near tho hiding place of hi* ne-my. and yielding to an uncontrollable im pulse, hunted him uj?? rind shot him dead. lie was arretted, but, procuring bail iu a few nays, bo set about preparing his deleuso. Hi* story, aulMHUtiirily iu his own language, I* as follows: Major Henry wss C3 years of age. At tho dose of .je war he inxnltd n iadr of wealth and pudtiou In 1 ItohlUK.

The very immunity adorned by oto ago made him more datigcious ttisu a younger rum. 1 urged also that 1! hu motive* were himornhic uu would never by indiscreet conduct Joopard bur reputation as bo was doing; that nis conduct bowed him to be unprincipled and justified tno ruvest dlstiust of bis un live*. Later odftold possibly 1 had made two erroneous l in pro- v. ??? one that 1 was Jealous, and tho ottier that 1 bad lost confidence iu her. 1 begged her to reject both these impressions. 1 said: '???Tho one thing I havo dreaded is that your name might bo connected with a scandal. I know you art* absolutely Incupiblo ol criminality, ev< n iu thought, but you havo always been ten derly shielded Iroui tempting inilucuccs.' Tho next night Sgalu l was awaku lato Into tho night. My w Loiesoul was aroused by tho aspect ol the situation. Bin* had continued to receive Henry's MUniiuL*. theugli piotestluK that no barm could ionic ol them.

Bhe went strangely, Mkuo: ten g lid while asleep. Into the abyss. Alter the confession Captain Johnson came to Indianapolis and liad an interview with hi* wife relative to their property and the future t f their ton. li was e vident that the wife ex pected her husband to condone her fault, but ne left ber w ithout communicating t>. her hi* intention*. That night she wrote him a letter, ns follows: I have done as you rcquc-Med-glvon up cvo*y- I *eud yon you Itsvt* made, i tho few triad wor irntwi-reio me* so prerjous in them. 1 havi brausbton yon a hnru fate, bnt what I- mine' Vt bile y ou w-IU have sympathy.

An amueing incident, and ono that is vouch ed for as reliable, comes from Abbeville, Ala, happened that & conscientious temper or.ee man, nnd a St. John elector, i* pastor of cnc of the churches at that nlaco. It alio happened that ono of his member*, a pro mi nent citizen and ox-sheriff of the couruy, made a wager of a bat or two on tho election ot Cleveland and, of course, won. As this was a violation of the rules of tho church, and the attention of tho preacher be ing called to it, tho ox-sheriff wua called up for trial before tbo conference. After tbo evidence had been submittal and , ust ss tho vote on tho case ws* about to b* bken, tho preacher asked him if ho had any defense to make. Nm:o at all," said he, "but there aro sorao of tbo members to whom I would like to just whisper a word." This privilege was allowod and when tho vote was taken tbo preacher was surprised to find it unanimous for acquittal. Aftertbo con ference adjourned tho preaehor???s curiosity was aioused to know what the ox-sheriff had whis- >ercd to tho members.
