HOW THE KAUll'AliS uuBKunan-

The Republicans in the North re-
rarl it as very unfair and mean m
the Democrats to gerrymander a
State as has .been done in" South
Carolina. You would suppose that

Robinson; m-the House, refen'ed to
this in a recent speech, and1 then ex
tended his view to. the city of -New

The Star does not hesitate to con
demn gerrymandering because , it as
not right. It is - not-- in -accordance
wun law ana tairness. ' .I5ut it is a
part of politics. f Both parties have
long practiced iVand.r both parties
will continue to practice it until that
refornv-takea place' which-is desired
so much by many reflecting people.
Until that? "good time comes"; it is
not worth while for either party to
expect the other to do what is right
.and proper in the matter ofredis-
' tricting. Of all parties thd Radical
has. least cause to complain,fpr it has
violated evevy principle of law, of
fair dealing and of equity in its fre-

papers as the New York Times &n4

A POINT AGAINST THE RADICALS.
Representative Tuckeiy! of Vir
ginia, rather astonished the Radicals
i the House a ; few days - ago .when
he, proposed his amendment to ,tli0
hill of the Ways and Means . Com
wjttee. They reported allowing im
ported material to be used in-any
quantity in a' ship built, for foreign
amount. . This ' looked t& them fair
enough and we, see no obiection.
K,t Mr. Tucker proposed to extend
tl
e privilege to home folks . and to
allow the principle to embrace do
ystlc industries. Is not this right
and fair? Whv sbonM
foreigners
veany advantage over Americans?

evade this issue., .Thev cannot with
the least show of propriety or justice

All this shows how little real sym
pathy the ordinary-Radical Congress
man has for the real interests of the
people. He considers it as his mission

lists and to let the over-taxed people
take care of themselves ; as best they

'My Dear Hnbbell" has sent out'
another precious campaign, Paul-Pry
circular. It is sent to the fire-tried
throughout the country, r It is easy
to see from a copy that is before us
that the Rsds are as cunning and as
unscrupulous as ever. ' They wish to
find out where ' to . spend th3 money.
Their design is to debauch the elec
tors and thus, .debauch: the ballot.

to corrupt the voters and buy up the
purchasable inferior material in the
Democratic party. . - J .. : .

money enough to pay it, and asked
Goode 6 cash a" draft for- $750, and.
the latter not being able to do it was
then induced ; to lend Morgan. $20.
