A REBELLION.
is a rebellion ' going
yhere
on
among ( the 'more intelligent' colored
voters - e have noted evidences of
this inNewY orky Washington, Vir
ginia, SoTAth. Carolina and some little
indication in our own State, t The.
negroes have lieen drawing the ma
chine for seventeen years and the few
white" bosses have sat high, above
theiriheads and cracked their whips.
It seems that the tidal wave of revo
lution has struck Pennsylvania also.
The,Philadelphia Times has this to
say ' 'i - - . -
"Sfhe rebellion in the colored vote against
Bosses and machine methods is one of the
grayest problems the machine leaders have
been called upon to meet, .It is all the more
grave because . it was wholly unexpected;
and when , it is remembered that the colored
vote of -Philadelphia holds' the, balance of
power, between the two parties and that it
is also the balance of power in the State,
the Bosses are justly alarmed at the formi
dable defection in the machine line. An
other "trouble is - that the leaders -. of the
colored movement for: emancipation from
the, Bosses are unpurchasable."
In, this ,3tate in the past this could
not bk said, i' Any attempt , at inde
pendent action has resulted in a free
distribution of "loot money,' and bp
position on the part of the negro has
been" quieted.;'; ' '
We' have met with a -paragraph in
an exchange that shows how the re
volt b widening.. Turner is one of
the. best educated and ablest of col
ored men,1 and was minister. to Libe
ria, we . believe. " The paragraph ; is
as follows: ' . "
'Missouri newspapers say that it is : the
intention' of J. Milton Turner and other
leaders of the negro" element in Missouri to!
place independent tickets in the field when-:
ever the opportunity presents itself," as a
means' of punishing the Republican politi
ciaris.fortheir, neglect of the aegro." : '
CoL Cash, of duelling fame, spoke
at Rock Hill on Saturday. He was
interrupted ' in his ; speech : by . a fight
between two. yourig men right under
him. He rushed to his room, armed
himself and. retun)edbut did ' not
finish, his speech. , A special to the
Charleston .News and Courier says:
' He ; panders to the -prejudices of the
negroeaby expressing abhorrence of the
oppressions which he alleges -are heaped
upon them5" by the State government," and
by charging Hamptcn with violating his
pledges-to these people. He is opposed to
an intlux of 'lager beer drinking Dutchmen
and spotted faced Italians but ia in' favor
. of bringing the negroes from Virginia and
North Carolina down here and making
them of South Carolina, as he expressed it,
'A Black New York.' His presence excited
curiosity feut his speech has aroused an in
tense disgust for the man."
'The new freight rates for the South
go into, effect on the 10th of Septem
ber '.The New York' Tribune, says:
"Some, freight agents, however. think
that the advance in cotton rates is too great
to- have much permanency. From the
principal Southern points the old rates were
as f ollowst i To Baltimore 65 ' cents per 100
pounds; to New York and Philadelphia, 70
cents J' and .to Fall River, Providence and
Bo8ton,' 82 cents.- The new rates, corres
ponding respectively to the old schedule, as
aoove, are eu ana eents and ; . The
advance, thus. -is 24 cents tn "RftlMmnrp

per iuu pounds to New England."

THE RADICAL I.EGISATJBE OF
1868 '69.
As we have had, occasion to say
often, there is. nothing comes home
to a peoplcrmore . nearly than; exces
sive and oppressive taxation. . Tha,
reason why the' whole people have
been so tolerant of the tariff is that,
they have paid $1.50 tax on their $3
hat and $125 tax on their $3 shoes
and have not known it It is so, too,"
with the revenue tax to the majority.
They., have been heavily taxed but
did not feel jit, because they paid it
to the dealer instead of the .tax
collector. .
He that is taxed, not seeing how you tax
him, " - '!';'
Let him not know't and he's not taxed
: - ataU."
: We may , extend the. "remark and .
say that the people of North Carolina
have been far more tolerant of ' Rad
icalism than' they would be if .they
had imprinted upon their minds pre-:
cisely what it has done against them
in their pockets. - If every honest Lv
boring man and hard-pressed .tax-,
payer in the State knew the extent of
the plundering of the old -'Radical
party; if they knew the actual excess
of taxes they had paid because ' of.
these plunderings, we -feel certain
that two things they would never do
-forgive the plunderers and vote to
put them and their successors in .of-,
fice. . "
It is the duty of " the public press
to recur to the past and to remind the
over-burdened taxpayers what they
have suffered in the past. Reminded
of these things they will understand
better what they may expect in the
future if the plunderers are restored
to power. In matters of govern
ment nothing is more important than'
to recur to first principles and to ex
amine into the management of par
ties. The test of the worth of prin-.
ciples is to reduce them to practice.
as to what they promise. . They go
or winning. Parties in convention
may declare that they favor this tor
that principle or-measure, .but. may
ail in their practice. Let us bring the
opposition to ' the only safe ;test.
Let us examine into their record and
see how they 'did when in possession
of the State Government. .'1 ......
In 1868 the Radicals got full pos-
session, jn o one can ever i torget
those times, y. A visit to Raleigh wes
enough to give a patriot ' the blues
for a twelve-month. Corruption lif t-
ed its unblushing head in . the capi-
tol. Peculation, fraud, bribery, de--
bauchery, were, the order of the day,
and marked the progress of the
night. It was a . time of . political
prostitution. Littlefierd and his set
were masters,.." of .the' .'arena,-, and
North Carolina Was prostrated' Pre
datory beasts and human ghouls held
carnival in the halls of debate and in
the chambers of conference. But no
pen can draw the lines; no brush can
deepen the colors enough.,-i(. ' - r, (-
j What did the Radicals when' they
got into power ? In the first place;
the-Legislature sat for nearly-an en
tire year.v - The exact time was ,304
days. This : useless, foolish, corrupt
long session resulted as might have
been ' expected. It " cost the poor
people the stripped and pealed and
hard-worked, tax -oppressed whites,
$430.958.68 four hundred and thirty
thouSarid nine hundred and fiftv-
eight dollars and j sixty-eight Scents.
This is what the Radical Legislature
of Worth Carolina of 1868-69 cost
you, the people. As long as memory
lastsj-this period of wholesale plun
der and ' corruption ' shoutdnever be
forgotten. Let the honest tax-payers
never forget that when' the Radical
party; bad : full sway in North Caro
lina that, they spent upon themselves
$430,958.68 during one Legislatttrel
In. contrast take the Democratic
Legislature. - The total expenses of
the two sessions of a879-80 were
$71,293.80. We 'see that the sum
wasted by. the Radicals . in paying
themselves for-one Legislature would
last for nearly twelve years under
Democratic rule.
Do not lose sight'bf this important'
fact. Cut it out and paste it in your
hat. The Legislature of 188081 cost
but $56,259.26. ' At this' rate' 'Of : ex.
pense the sum expended by the Rad
icals in paying themselves daring the
Legislature of 1868-6.9 would have
been sufficient to : meet the expenses
of legislation under Democratic rule
for nearly sixteen : years. - Be sure to
remember that for Legislators are to
