I MILL IN BONVAGE-BBEAK IT.
For the last eight or ten years in
most of the Southern States in which
the Radicals control the offices, there
have been scenes of violence and
great oppression. The common re
sort ot Radical Governors, especially
of the carpet-bag sort, is to the Uni
ted States authorities for help. In
Louisiana, in Arkansas, in Mississip
pi, in North Carolina, and in South
Carolina, the Federal authorities have
been appealed to in the past for help
to suppress disorders and to intimi
date and coerce free-born Southern
white men. ' Everybody knows the
old story.
The, negroes of the South have re
ceived very great detriment at the
bands of the National Government.
From the days of the abounding
promises when forty acres of land
and a whole mule were to make glad
the hearts of the then recently en
franchised freedman, to the infamous
and inexcusable order of Cameron,
the poor credulous darkey has been
taught to lean more on the patron
age and protection of the parental
government at Washington than
upou industry, sobriety, honesty and
submission to law. The result has
been just as, every sensible man ex
pected. Idleness has abounded, and,
in some sections, acts of riot and
death have olio wed. Disorder and
violence have sprung as quickly
rom the seeds sown by the indus
trious manipulators of "the mfm and
brother," as armed men from the
teeth of Cadmus.
Whether the freed men iu the two
Carol! nas will learn to distrust their
so-called friends, as the negroes are
beginning to do itf other Southern
States, only time will reveal. Igno
rant, superstitious, credulous, 'and in
fatuated, the "powers that be" sedu
lously endeavoring to use them for
their own reprehensible and sinister
purposes, it would appear an impos
sibility that they should declare their
independence of the utter ty
ranny that controls them. I We
shall rejoice when we can see the co
lored voteri of out State breaking in
pieces the chains that bind them to
the service of a few whites in the
different counties, who use them so
effectually in advancing their own
peculiar interests. , .
From South Carolina, then,! come
sucimtiaiugs irom aay to aay as to
encourage us to hope that thousands
of the more intelligent and self-re
specting colored men wilt vote for
Gen. Hampton, who is a true man
every inch of him, and who is ma
king a grand fight for a better go
vernment for deliverance frorn the
crushing and disgraceful party that
has brought so much of unhappmess
and suffering upon the people of that
State. Only a short time, ago
he said to the correspondent of
a Republican paper "My God, wo
cannot stand it! Our subsistence
is consumed, and the very name of
South Carolina has become a by-
.-- -
word and a reproach. We are in the
gulf of despair. If the Northern
people yes, even the Northerb Re.
publicans knew our condition, knew
it just as it is, knew , how we have
suffered and how we have ' been
robbed, their sympathies would be
extended to us in this slrnsrsrle.
What we want is relief from the rob
bers."
The robbers are getting alarmed
doubtless. They may win, butevery
good man must hope for a better fate
for the State. The Philadelphia
Times, referring to the party of booty
and pillage, says:
"Aid this is the party and the ticket
with which Northern people are expected
to sympathize, and for the success of which
Chandler is to send his money, and Taft
his marshal?, and Cameron Las troops to
South Carolina. And this is the work fur
which the New York Times thaoks God
and which it calls a victory for reform.
Another Hayes organ has said that when
the people of the North have to choose be
tween an ex-rebel and a thief they will
take the thief. We do not believe it. The
sympathies of all honest people, North and
South, must go out towards the Conserva
tives of South Carolina in their struggle for
honest government. Shame to the party
that would have it otherwise."
We thank the Times for suih pa
triotic and eloquent expressions.
That the Conservatives of that-State
deserve the sympathies of at true
lovers of good order and prosperity,
read the following manly declaration
of Gen. Hampton:
"Whatever I may be able to do for you if
fou place me in the chair of Governor; if
cannot suppress a riot; if I cannot go to
the people of Carolina, white and. black,
and say to them that these are the laws and
you must uphold and enforce them; if I
cannot appeal to Carolina's sons to support
me in the laws that I am sworn to main
tain, then cast me out with scorn from the
office that I dishonor."
FIG tKES AND F.K J S,
We resume our gathering of facts
and. figures illustrative of Radical
rule in the counties in which the ne
groes have the control. Let us look
atj Wayne connty. -In 1874, the tax
oji real and personal property was 50
cents. That was under the Radical
administration. In 1876, the tax was
28f cents. A very great redaction
surely, and the sum raised from all
the tax payers at these rates would
show an enormous difference. A re
duction of 44 per cent, in the taxes
on the entire real and personal pro
perty of a large county would: show
a striking result. In 1874, county
bonds weie worth only some 40 or 50
cents in the dollar; now they sell for
their fall value, bringing a hundred
cents in the dollar. For six years,
under Radical rule, the expenditures
averaged annually $12,958.42. Du
ring two years of Democratic! rule
the expenses only average $7,818.37.
That is to say, the people of Wayne
county actually save each year $5,
140.00 now the Democrats sire in
power. Such facts and figures speak
powerfully for the party of Reform
and Retrenchment. j
The total taxes of the rich county
of Pitt, where honest Democrats; have
the sway, is less than the actual sum
paid by the Radical officers of Edge
combe for the maintenance cf some
jr if. ' " . ihf -
thirty paupers.
The Raleigh Sentinel has published
a table showing the county tax paid
by seventeen counties controlled by
negro Voters, lejijfri Bertie,
Chowan, Craven, Edgecombe, Frank
lin, Granville, Greene, Halifax, Hert
ford, Jonesj Lenoir, New Hanover,
Northampton, Perquimans, Rich-
mond, Warren and Caswell. They
pay a county tax for general pur-,
poses of $302,522 25 equal to two-
thirds of 'the total tax paid to the
n. . ? . "' . ' F
otate oy tne nmety-iour coupiies
As the Sentinel says, these seventeen
rieh counties pay one-third of the
State taxes, and when we sum up
their county, town and Special taxes,
they payTfibre than the total State
tax paid by the other seventy-seven
counties, who are freed from the
thraldom of negro domination.
Is it too ranch to ask of tho tax
payers of those 74 counties who
have escaped the terrible inflictions
that have been visited upon New
Hanover, Granville, Warren, Jones
and the other seventeen counties, to
vote for the amendments to the con
stitution that some measure of relief
may be obtained for their suffering
and oppressed brethren ? Surely, if
the people of the .4 counties who
enjoy comparative exemption from
the extravagance and rascality of ir
responsible aud unworthy officials,
are made acquainted with the trying
evils which afflict their brethren and
friends in less fortunate localities,
they will not withhold their hand in
the hour of dire distress. Give yonr
aid to those who are helpless without
you. The amendments can furnish
the only redress. Will you not vote
for them ? -
BABCOCK.
This notorious character,and a New
York lawyer by the name of Somer
villc, were on trial for the safe bur
glary conspiracy at Washington. On
last Saturday they were acquitted, as
everybody expected who had any
knowledge of the complexion of the,
jury. No one doubts as to Uabcoek's
complicity, but it was a foregone
conclusion that the jury empanelled
would never convict him and his co
conspirator. The two main witnesses,
Whiteley, late chief of the govern
ment secret service, and Nettleship,
his assistant, were members of the
band, and could not testify without
branding their own names with eter
nal infamy. They, however, testified
against Babcock and others But it
had no effect upon the ' jury ,; and the
base fellows escaped the punishment
they richly deserved. According to
the Baltimore Sun:
"The theory of their evidence was that
Babcock had instigated them to taking
steps to rind out who it was that was sret-
t'mg upland elaborating in the newspapers
iuc tunica iiumsi mm i max measure
ments as a government official in 1 tie Street
in Washington, aim that they, with Har
rington, the District Attorney, as chief
manager, carried out the plan of the safe
burglary ostensibly for the purpose of get
ling or. the books of one of the alleged
prominent contractors, Evans, and that
with the view of making it appear that Mr.
Columbus Alexander, one of the chief
prosecutors of the'investigation of the Dis
trict ring, bad inspired the affair in the pur
suit of testimony."
Of course Babcock's peculiar
friends were jubilant over the verdict
and "congratulated" the escaped cul
prit.
The jury had but one reputable
man on it. The criminal is acquitted
according to the finding of the jury,
but the country will understand that
he is none tha less morally guilty of
a most infamous act. Babcock es
caped at St. Louis when upon trial
for the whiskey conspiracy, but from
Maine to Florida every candid man
holds hirh none the less guilty. The
plan now among the Grant officials
is let no guilty man be condemned.
XUSN AMD NOW.
In 1876, in this Centennial year of
peace, Senator Newton Booth, of
California, has become a wringer of
Morton's old bloody shirt and an
apostle of hate. He is now canvass
ing Indiana for the Grant-Hayes
ticket, and is doing whatever his
clever eloquence cati to widen, the
"bloody chasm" that was rapidly
filling up, and to awaken the bitter
memories of the war that had almost
fallen asleep.
But it was not always so with the
California Senator. On July; 20,
1875, in the city of San Francisco, he
sang a different tune. He was then
the eloquent advocate of fraternity
and reconciliation. Here are some of
his utterances then:
"The wound heals slowly that is often
chafed. That would be a divine moment
in our history which should strike down
every party tie and party name which per
petuates a war memory and brings the peo
ple together who are willing to forget, in a
solid and impenetrable phalanx. The
American people was the real hero of the
war,' and must also be.tbe apostle of peace
and reunion. Why should they not come
together ? Sumner would remove the.
names of battles from flags, because they
were remembrances of civil war why caik
we not take the names from our political
banners, which are also reminders The
Vice President journeys through the South
everywhere, received by all classes with the
respect and kindness due to bis age, cha
racter and "position. Fitzhugh Lee goes to
Boston, add is met with the fervor of hos
pitality by the men be met in arms. It may
be well to sneer at this as sentimental gush.
I prefer to believe if the spontaneous out
pouring of reconciled friendship of that
spirit which is as sincere in the fellowship
of peace as in (the struggle of war. It is
the spirit which animates- this people and
manifests itself upon every occasion. There
comes a time when tfre iasfinctof senti
ment is a truer guide than Cold philosophy
or calculating prudence. Is this a tune to
hunt up every act of lawlessness and !0MM
rage that has occurred for years in States

whose civil, social and political institutions
have been broken down, and frame them

A WORD FOR l AKPUT-BAGGEKS.
These "gentry" have found one
defender at last for which they should
be duly tbankfuL Grant's organ,
the Washington Repuhlicnt thus
" piped" for them :
L?t it not be forgotten that there would
have been no Republican party in the
South but for the carpet-baggers ; that they
stood up for the Government and the freed
man when nobedy else would," andr that the
native white papulation refused to partici
pate in any measure of reconstruction."
Where was Holden, Brownlow,
Tom Settle and the rest ? How un
grateful in the negroes to turn out
their best friends and give their votes
for "the native whites" who refused
to stand by them. It was a sad day
for the South when it fell into the
hands of tho lauded "carpet-baggers."
But for them the bribery and
thieving of 1868 would never have
brought ruin upou North Carolina.
Remember the $16,000,000 of Special
Tax Bonds, j
Ii!!t CJ EiN'S SO II fH KIS N POLICY.
Tens of thousands of intelligent
Southern men have always held that
the death of Abraham Liucoln was a
terrible blow to the South. Whilst
they abhorred the cruel murder, they
sorrowed because they felt that the
best friend they had in the Republi
can parly of the North had been
foully assassinated. We have held
this view for eleven years, aud we are
glad to read the following from the
pen of Charles A. Dana, who wss
Assistant Secretary of War during
Lincoln's Administration, and had ex
traordinary opportunities tor forming
a correct opinion of Mr, Liucoln's
Southern policy. Iu tho New Y'ork
Sun ot Oct. 2d, he says:
"Mr. Lincoln, if he bad lived, would
have stood between the conquered South
and the political enemies who never began
to fight until after the peace. He longed
above all things to see every Southern State
restored to the Union intact, and vitbiis
iochI pji-i'i jninttit j-tcuit'lv lodged W the
hands ot" its own people. It is eertaiuly
true that the terms of surrender originally
proposed: between Sherman and Johnson
embodied the spirit nay, almost the letter
of the Fresident's instructions to oner-
man. If thev had been accepted at Wash
ington, after the deatn of thereat statesman
from whose mind they sprang, these teu
mortal years of spoliation, military gov
ernment, and carpet-bag enormities, might
have been spared to the South and to the
country. Mr. Lincoln, even if he had
lacked human sympathy with the pillaged
people of the subdued States, was too wise
a man to have e xpected one-half of the
country to prosper, while the other half lay
prostrate."

The mortuary report, published
elsewhere, for the twenty-four hoars
ending at six o clock yesterday shows
a large increase of mortality over the
previous day. There was a total of
42 interments, of which 28 were from
yellow fever. The sudden and severe
change in the temperature from the
heat of midsummer to the trost point,
which took place Sunday night and
continued throughout yesterday,
seems to have had a fatal effect upon
the number of those who wero very
sick with the fever. The general im

that the present cold snap is favora

quote from the Richmond! Dispatch:
Governor Walker is certain we
will carry Indiana ; he is almost sure
we will carry Ohio, and would not
wonder if we were to run up a ma

twenty and thirty thousand. Three
fourths of the Germans are known
to be with us, and thousands of oth
