“ DEAD ISSUES ” AGAIN.
While many so-called Democrats are
busily and frantically engaged in accepting
the XlVth and XVth Amendments, be
cause, as asserted, they are no longer “ live
issues ” of a political canvass, the people of
Missouri are beginning to comprehend that
the minute the party of the Constitution
shall cease to war against the validity of
these abominations, the rights of the States
and true Republican liberty are gone for
ever. Commenting upon President-General
Grant’s interference in Missouri affairs
and the tendency of Radicalism to ride
rough-shod over every muniment of civic
freedom, the St. Louis Republican says:
“ The national Republican party has vir
tually declared against the right of the
people of a State to regulate their domestic
affairs in their own way, and assumed for
the Federal Government the right to regu
late those affairs for them. It declares
against all concessions of power to the
people that would Jeopard the dominant
party’s tenure of power; it declares that
test oaths, disfranchisements and proscrip
tions are the proper and healthful agencies
of republican government, in peace as well
as in war; and that whatever liberties the
people of a State are allowed to possess,
they hold simply at the sufferance of the
Federal authority. The event is an alarm
ing assertion of the supreme authority of
the central government, and of its right to
invade the State with its civil agencies, to
control elections and decide domestic ques
tions. Such an issue, so authoritatively
made, caunot be confined to our State. It
will be made to extend to other States, and
will in the end, become a leading national
issue, with the Republican party avowing
the extraordinary claim, and the Democ
racy sternly denying it.”
Every day the South is justified in her
struggle for States Rights, and, every day,
the war Democracy are being taught the
bitter lesson that when they made it possi
ble for the South to be vanquished, they
struck a murderous blow at the beautiful
system of government framed and trans
mitted by the Fathers. And what is the
reason now that so little enthusiasm is ex
hibited all over the country, notwithstand
ing most important elections in four great
States are close at hand ? It is because
the cowardly, time-serving Democratic
leaders have debauched the people, and
striven, in effect, to reconcile them to the
belief that the grossest usurpations are
not to be questioned any more, and that
the most important matter in the universe
is for a few office seekers to retaiu posses
sion of their flesh-pots. The people will
never rally on any such base issues, and
they will be as ignominiously led as the
French forces have been, so long as men
are permitted t,o head the column who are
doing their utmost, to save their loyal con
sciences and fat positions by squaring the
crime they committed in 1861 with what
they call “ dead issues ” in 1870. There
never was more stupendous folly than to
suppose that Democracy can win a victory
worth having by stealing the night shirt
of Abe Lincoln for an oriflamme. The
Radical President and the Radical party
mean to destroy the States by centralizing
the Government. And foolish Democrats
have the hardihood to believe that this des
potic undertaking can be defeated bv
endorsing usurpation and accepting the
enemy’s platform! Was there ever such
madness! Was there ever such stupidity!
Discipline. —A correspondent of the
New York I lev aid thus writes from Cha
teau Bellevue, near Sedan:
“ The only man a Prussian soldier seems’
to have the slightest respect for is his
own officer, and the latter certainly does
not treat those under him like a human
being. As 1 write these lines a Prussian
sub-lieutenant is blowing up some of the
men quartered here for some neglect of
duty. Mercy upon us how the man talks t
His tone and manner to the soldier are
as if he were a nigger slave. How the men
stand it or how the superior officers al
low it, is wonderful. Surely this is disci
pline carried to an extreme. But it does
not answer, at least not as regards others.
These same soldiers, that, never moved a
muscle when abused and sworn at by their
officers, are the veriest tyrants in the world
towards all they don’t fear. An hour hence
I have no doubt but that the men I have
just seen stand a perfect storm of abuse
will be pleasantly thieving in or about
Sedan."
We dare say this is the case with all
armies. The Yankee “ boys in blue,” who
“ saved the life of the nation,” are not only
cursed and abused by their officers, but
tied up by the thumbs and bucked and
gauged. They suffer these extremities in
order that negroes may not be punished at
all.
The Overland Monthly. —The October
number of the Overland Monthly presents
the same fresh aud characteristic table of
contents which usually distinguishes this
excellent magazine. The articles are: Seal
Islands of Alaska; Road-making in the
Tropics ; The Bleacher’s Song; Two Days
at Killarney; At San Diego and the Gold
Mines; A “ PronunciamientoMr. Shed’s
Courtship; My Artist; Farming in Pajaro
Valley; First Impressions of the East (by
a returned Californian); In and about St.
Paul; The Three Pinks; “ Cicely ;” The
Falls of the Shoshone, and Current Litera
ture. The contribution “Cicely” is from
the editor, F. Bret Harte, and is a poem,
rough but tender. We published it on our
fourth page yesterday.
The New Minister.—A correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce
gives the following account of Mr. Mor
ton, the recently appointed Minister to
England;
“ His peculiar affliction, paralysis of the
spine, made it difficult for him to reach his
place in the Senate, and if he stood at all
when speaking on any subject he could
only do it by the aid of a strong brass
swivel arm, solidly attached to his desk,
which he grasped firmly in hand to sup
port his body and give it rotary motion.
The atmosphere of England has benefited
him before, and he was easily persuaded
that it would be better for him now.”
Radical Ku Klux. —We Jearn from
Nashville that, a few nights ago, a band of
masked marauders, in Henry county, took
a number of negroes from their cabooses
*nd whipped them, assigning as a reason
that they had been voting wrongly. The
negroes were industrious, peaceable men,
but they voted the Democratic ticket.
Colfax on the Germans.
A RICH REVIVAL OF OLD K. N. TIMES.
The real character and tendency of the
Republican party is still the Kuow Noth
ing character—the old K. N. tendency.
Borne of the Democratic papers are quoting
this extract from a speech made by the
now Vice-Presideut of the United States,
Schuyler Colfax, at Viucennes, Indiana, in
1855, when he stood on the Know Nothing
platform. Let every German read careful
ly the sentiments of this leader of the party
they now talk of supporting:
* * * Some tell me that many for
eigners are Intelligent; yes, intelligent.
How, in the name of Almighty God, can
they say it ? Look at the Dutchman smok
ing his pipe, and if you can see one ray of
intelligence in that dirty, idiot-looking face
of his, show it to me! Look at that drunk
en, bloated Irishman, with his rotgut whis
ky bottle in his pocket, and he drunk,
swearing, and reeling, and show me in that
polluted face any spark of morality, intel
lect or education. The idea is perfectly
absurd; it is preposterous! We must
change the laws of the land, and prevent
these ignorant, degraded paupers here from
voting and holding office. They are a set
of unprincipled villians and ruffians, who
congregate in and around our large cities
and villages, and live by stealing and beg
ging from the Americans. Some tell me
they have rights. So they have; the rigi.t
to live under our laws and till the soil, and
do as we bid. They are inferior in intel
lect and intelligence to the Americans, and
they must and shall be put down and kept
down, If it has to be done at the point of
the bayonet and with powder and lead.
There is no use talking mincinglv, or of
fearing results in regard to the matter.
A great cry was sent up by old liners
about the foreigner being driven away from
the polls, and not being al'owed to vote.—
'lhis I suppose is true in many respeets.
Would you have the American citizen
stand back and let a bloated, red-visaged,
drunken brute of an Irishman vote instead
of himself ? See the wretch as he ap
proaches ; his knees knocking, and the slob
ber of tobacco running down his jaws, and
as he comes you hear him “ hurrah for the
Democracy and here he comes fresh from
the hogs, just one year ago, and wants to
vote—and because the boys cry “ remove
him,” and he gets knocked down for his im
pudence, a great cry is made about it by
the old line demagogues. I say it is right—
let them stand back. Again: You see a
lop-eared, wide-mouthed, mullet-headed
Dutchman-coming up just from some hut
in the land of Kraut, with the foam of beer
still sticking in his horse-tail whiskers,
and his breath smelling of garlic and
oniODS, enough to kill a white man at 300
yards, and before he can say anything in
the world hut “ Democrat,” he must vote,
and that vote counts as much as yours or
mine. This is outrageous and abominable.
These foreigners that have carried elections
for old liners will have to learn their
places. They have no more right to vote
than the brutes of the field, and have not.
the sense of a good Newfoundland dog ;
and God knows that were I candidate for
anv office, I would tell these paupers and
vagabonds, these vile, dirty, fl.thy, degrad
ed, idiotic foreigners I did not want their
votes, and if I ever am a candidate, I hope
to God I never will get them.
The Vincennes (Indiana) Sun revives this
sjwech, and nails the fact of Colfax’s hatred
of the whole German population square to
the counter.

IN. Y. Correspondence of Charleston Courier.
James Gordon Bennett.
HTS LAST LEGS.
It is known privately among journalists
that James Gordon Bennett, Sr., of the
Herald , is on his death-bed, and that his
end may be expected at any moment. In
most of the newspaper offices elaborate
obituaries have been in preparation for
several days, and that bound file of the li -
tie Herald of 1835 has been well ransacked
for characteristic specimens of Bennett’s
early style of journalism. The veteran has
been in declining health for two years. He
has not been down town from his Wash
ington Heights residence for a year. The
effect on the editorial character of the Her
ald has been very marked. It has lost that
strong individuality which made it at one
time so feared aud courted. Nobody now
cares for the Herald’s opinion on the politi
cal situation. It might advocate the claims
of a dozen different public men for the Pre
sidency without exciting a particle of in
terest. It is not quoted by its cotempora
ries, nor do people in society vigorously
denounce it as a satanic sheet, as of old.
If ever a man impressed himself on a pa
per, Bennett did on the Herald. When he
drops out it is the Herald no longer. His
son has no taste for journalism. He passes
most of his time on his yacht, and the pa
per is realty conducted without a supreme
head, each department being run by an in
dependent chief with his own carps of sub
ordinates. When Mr. Bennett dies, It is
probable that his great journal will pass
into other h inds. His heir, with an ample
fortune, will be anxious to rid himself o
uncongenial responsibilities. It is doubt
ful if the Herald can regain its old rank
under another conductor. Its place, as a
strong, aggressive and not over scrupulous
commentator on current events is now oc
cupied by the Sun, which has also swept
away a large part of its circulation. It
will always be a great advertising sheet,
however. New Yorkers have got into the
rut of advertising in the Herald, for houses
and help, and it will forever command that
class of patronage, though its editorial
page should become as lifeless as that of
the Weekly Lumber Reporter.
Maryland.— The Radicals boast that
they have enrolled 10,000 negro votes in
the Fifth Congressional District, and
enough to give them 2,000 majority in the
Alleghany District. And while this is
true, tens of thousands of white men south
of the Potomac are denied the ballot. Ne
groes, as in Washington, and as provided
in the Georgia law, can vote In half a dozen
precincts, while white men cannot vote at
all. —New York Express.

THIS CELEBRATED MEDICINE HAS WON
a deservedly high reputation as an alleviator of pain
and a preserver of Health. Jt has become a house

and permanent relief. It is a purely vegetable prepa
ration, made from the best and purest materials, safe
to keep and to nse in every family- It is recommend
ed by physicians and persons of all classes, and to
day, after a public trial of thirty years—the average
life of man—it stands unrivalled and unexcelled,
spreading Its usefulness over the wide world. Its
large ana increasing Eaie affords positive evidence of
its enduring fame. We do not deem it necessary to
-say much in its favor as one small bottle will do more
to convince you of its efficacy than all the advertise

A TAINTED ATMOSPHERE.
MALARIOUS FEVERS ARE MOST PREVA
LENT in the Fall. Heavy and unwholesome exha
lations then arise from the earth, and the great
disparity between the temperature of day and night
predisposes the system, enfeebled by the Summer
heals, to epidemic diseases. The secretive organs, the
liver especially, are apt, at this period of the year, to
become inert and sluggish, and all the bodily powers
t'cqulie renovation. The best, indeed the only pro
tection against the morbid influences of the season is
a wholesome medicated stimulaut.i Pre-eminent
among the restoratives of this class, and indeed fore
most among the remedial and preventive medicines
ot modem times, stands Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Its reputation is co-extensivo with the Western
Hemisphere; it has been a standai and article for twenty
years; its sales (as may be ascertained by the revenue
returns) are far larger than those of any other pro
prietary preparation on this continent; and the tes
timony in its favor embraces letters of approval from
the most distinguished members of all the learned
professions and fiom well known residents of almost
every city in the Union. These are its credentials
To Btnte what it is doing to prevent and assnago the

specific, at once safe and potent, and for which the
