The Republicans are begjrinttj?
in their work early and are getfingatifr 1
with their customary adroitness. It is
showing up from Mississippi, in the
leaders which are emanating from the
fiery, untamed pen of the editor of the
Okalona States, and in the migration of
negroes from Southern to Western and
Southwestern States. The charactef of
the work which the Okalona States is
performing is interesting if not honor-

a diiefcri MM oyer the NortMJiiti
a Southern Democratic paper has boast
ed that the "rebels" have done' thus and!
, so. Of course the States man isaRadi-j
- calj ipkjd' by (bje jfUuiiealsto talk this
sort of nonsense, and of course thjfe
Southern press and people make hasftj
to repudiate his utterances ; but the seed
is sown ; the first impression made
on 'the Northern mihd is diligently
strengthened by; the bloody-shirt politir
cians ; the editorials are reprinted in the
Northern, press and the States' contribur
tioir to the. Grant boom has fi-ee course
and is glorified! in widening the breach
between the sections.
Thus is thunder being manufactured
for the cafcpiigir'pf; 1680.
Another campaign scheme is th
moyement of negroes from the South.
Proof of this charge is found in the
names of those who have this hegira in
charge the Chandlers, Zack and Bill;
Jiob lngersoii, benator vinaom, ex
JSecretdry GdillaniJ iind J. II. Rainey,
the colored ex-Congressman from South
Carolina. They realize that the negro
is no longer an appreciable element in
the politics of the South ; with a view,
therefore, to damaging tliis section, and
at the same time to advancing the for
tunes of their party, they institute this
ihigi-atvon fever jnrithfthe object of ulti
mately colonizing these roving negroes
in States which have but small Demo
cratic majorities and which are doubt
ful in important elections. The poor
foolish negroes 'are the sufferers from
this wicked political scheme, but this
little concerns those whose dupes they
are. Another good political result from
this negro exodus flows from its being
given out that the emigrants are driven
from their homes because they can en
joy neither political nor personal free
dom here, but are daily in danger of
ueatii at tne hands 01 the numerous.
rifle clubs which ride the country. !
These early movements indicate ; un
mistakably the line of battle on which
the Republicans will fight the next
campaign ; it will be fought under the
inspiring folds of the bloody shirtjand
it remains to be seen whether the North
ern people will again respond to the cry
01 "woirr uttered by characterless
tricksters who practice' theirdeceptions
and then laugh about them. ; t

That is a well-written and a singularly
"taking" article which we print else
where this morning from the Philadel
phia Times, in reference to Senator
Vance. The writer of it was fresh from
the naforpresefcce when he peiined
it; he had heard from him jokes wiich
had made him spin around in his chair
until his pants were innocent of a base
ment, and he went off and sat down,
full of the spint of the occasion to
write , the article which we print this
morning; He does not over-estimate
Gov. Vance s immense powers as a hu
morist, biiti like almost every on else
who has not learned to know him well;
who ' has seen only one or two sides of
the man,- he under-estimates aDU his
other gifts. The Times writer hever

says lhat Got. Vance' joked himself

Censored for not Carrying a Union Flag.
Washington. April 10. The Grand
Army of the Republic last night passed
resolutions condemning the Washing
ton .Light Infantry for not carrying a
United States flag while acting as es
cort to the Norfolk Citv Guards, now
on a visit to this city, and claiming that
said company refused or neglected to
bear the flag of our country and be
lieved it had been done in deference to
the wishes of the company from Vir
ginia. The Washington Light Infantry
is composed principally of government
clerks, and is commanded by Col. Wm.
G. Moore, who was paymaster in the
Union array and private secretary to
President Johnson. The company does
not carry the flag; because, as they
claim, a single company is not entitled
to tne nag . as that distinction oeiongs
only to regiments and battalions.
