I -;JLN OPPRESSED JMORLEJ :
Ve give' below ; extracts from along
and ably, written editorial tafe'en from the
Chicago Inter-Ocean of thojj 14th inst.
The article sets forth in the blearest and
most truthful manner the hardships under
whicKHhe Republicans of. the South labor
and wilj doubtless be read
throughout the country.
with interest
i I In the name of the one hundred and ten
thousand loyal men who in; the recent
campaign stood up for, the; Republican
party.in this State we thank the Inter
Ocean for its sympathetic and manly de-.
fense, and trust, that - its views may have
Some influence in jighting ? the wrongs to
wnicii.uie "powers inai do'- nave recently
subjected thema -T The Inter Ocean says :
? The condition-of the Republiean t partv
in therSotithcrn States is one p peculiar
hardship.! Upon the outbreaki'of the war
of the'rebellion there were-' I thousands of
patriotic white residents, of jthe Southern
States.who loved the old .flak'the Union,
and the principles it represented. During
ine war xnis ciass suuerea m , ipss oi prop
erty and personal -persecution 'jmore than
has ever been told or writteriil Ko class
of persons . in the Unioit rejoiced mor0 in
the declaration of peaces orj accepted the
terms more sincerely . and more heartily,
and unoter:"U'':ciimstnce, j'jfyere- more
willing to abide by them. ;AS a general
thing they were not politicians;; or leaders
of Southern society, but quiet itnd orderly
citizens of the States, " supporters of law
and order and lovers of universal lustjce.
It istrue,mpny of these yielded jto tlie press
and power'-of public opinion, fand served
the Confederacy 'during the War ! Bat
at its close, having nothing in common
with the old Democratic party gfwhich had
been instrumental in their misery, they
sought- a representation of tlkeir prjuciples
in the Republican ; party, aid i under the
franchise to the i colored irafje in many
States it was at once organized Jis a power.
Here begins anew a persecution, followed
upland persevered in by the rnling ele
ments of the South, as disgraceful as was
ever perpetrated by any organized body
of men claiming civilized ihabits. It is
not our -purpose to single out the State
and number its fleeing victims, hunted,
as they were, from place to place, or to
make record of its i white leaghes, whose
banners are stained all over With the blood
of its victims ; this has all entered into the
history which every lover of his race might
seek to forget, except in djefense of the
innocent ; but we do desire; to say of this
large class of persecuted and injured men,
that they deserve better and kindlier re
membcrance from their frierids than of
late they have received.
Republican papjers, ustemng to the con
stant Democratic, utterance of "carpet
bag rule m the Soutn," " corruption and
fraud," etc., have Jialf way settled into the
opinion that there is not ajnative of tlie
fiiouthern soil, exbept the negro, at this
time representing; Republican1 principles.
Enterprising Northern men,-; it is true,
have been made j the leaders of the jor-
ganization in many places, for the reason
that Southern-born men feajrd the domi
nant class and their vindictSveness. If
some of this class proved j unworthy of
their trust it is no good reason why the
party, laboring under its niany discour
agements, snoum oe neia responsioie ana
abused. - The persecution to a man of
prominence of Southern birth who dared
to take active part in the Republican or
ganization is illustrated in tlie sufferings
and murder of Judge Chisllolm. It is a
blind and an insult to the common intel
ligence of the people ofjjrtho United
States, af ter the Organizatiofllito whip and
bulldoze and kiU have, . done their work,
to come up and say ine xtepuoncan party
in the South . is made up of negroes and
carpet-baggers from the North. We be
lieve with the Wilmington. Post, tiiat
when the voiee can be heard; there will be
'V found Republicans of culture and in
tegrity in every State of thf South who
are fitted to adorn any station withiri jthe
gift of the government." "VjTho can won

The Democratic party of thOjNorth', with
open arms and; generous jiyfelcome, re
ceives in their counsels, andswears to ; his
place in the Senate the bloodiest butcher
of tho lot.- The - part- sneers at the; re
peated'ontrages of their soljxl South, and
would pet and caress and shout at victory
gained by any means of outrage and ! op
pression. To be 'a Republican south of
Mason's and Dixon's line means that yon
invite .an opposition fromjj ifr$:mpstjbp
pressive, overbearing, and despotic oran
lzation ich ; ever figured in the history
of civilized and enlightened sbcity. ,The
Democratic party in the South has inheri
ted all the devilishness of tlie institution
of slavery, and none of c itsV: honorable or
humane characteristics ; and jthe lovej of
power, which can come in no other way,
has so blinded the eyes of its Northern
coworkers as to effectually j close their
mouths to criticism and their; hearts to a
sense of right ; They have nothing but
sneers for Republicans oft tho South
composed oi niggers and carpet-baggers.
They see no right except fh jthe govern:
ing class, " who! own the soWl and should
hence have the right to -tyrannize and
rile tho struggling masses. i In the Korth
they claim to represent the interests bf
labor and the poor, and curse the bloated
rulers are the monopolists of farms with
Inroad acres." There is one place where the
Bepublicans of the South should be able
tp lo;ok, confidently expecting to receive
encouragement and protection, and that
is to the great Republican organization of
tho North. .Looking over the imperfec
tions of the organization in the South,
made up under the peculiar circumstances
; -7 -
we have mentioned, we claim that the!
party in the North should stand shoulder'
to shoulder and contend in every hoftofi
ablerf and legitimate way for. the rights
and interests of their Southern friends.
Give the Southern Republicans credit for
what thej;- bavqui
of the solid Democratic South requires
not only principle, but the highest order
of. courage to back it. The;Inter Ocean
has been the unflinching advocate of the
rights of every man, wherever the flag
floats, to express his honest sentiments
without fear qf persecution, j It will continue-to
call things by their right names,
and oppose, the peculiar organizations of
the South, which have been conceived in
iniquity, and. resulted in misery and op
pression to thousands who j are helpless.
It is for peace and harmony and will al
ways be found ready to encourage good
fellowship socially, financially, and com
mercially ; but it will not purchase the
way by a sacrifice of the . rights of any
class, however poor or unfortunate. And
it will as certainly criticise nd condemn
any acts of the party leaders, whether the
President or the . Cabinet pr Congress
men who shall seek favor by compro
mising the rights of the Republicans of
the feouth. During the past ten years,
under the most . disheartening circum
stances,, they have stood trues to the prin
ciples underlying the organization, and to
them we are under a debt of gratitude.
Their demands have been only the simplest
and plainest justice ; in seeking it they
have been persecuted, maligned, and mur
dered. This has been winked at by the
great Democratic party at the North,
which has stood by and held the stained
garments ; and because it has been done
irrdaylight, and the murderers known,
they have been classed as 'personal en
counters'," "local affrays," and the vilest
crimes have gone unpunished. We seek
harmony, and will hail the appearance of
fellowship, but it will never come while
the ballot-box is guarded by the shot gun,
and men are hunted and driven from their
homes in consequence of their political
opinions. I

KEEPING THE FEET WARM:
THK EXPERIMENT TRIED BY MRS. WITHERS,
AND THE ASTONISHING RESULTS.
From the New York Times. ,
It is said that during extremely cold
weather it occasionally happens that the
feet of ladies, who are not within reach ,
of stoves, fire-places, or furnace registers
become painfully cold. This is, of course,
an extremely delicate topic, but it is un
deniable that cold feminine feet do exist.'
As to the cause of this phenomenon there
is much difference of opinion. Mr. Eu
gene Lawrence believes that it is due to the
machinations of the Jesuits ; Mr. Conk-
ling regards it as the inevitable result of
the Presidential policy, and Mr. Dio
Lewis ascribes it to a lack of oat meal in
the great nervous . centers, and to the,
tightness of the or in other words to
the excessive pressure exerted by india
rubber. In fact, he asserts, on the author
ity of his communicative milliner, that
they 'check the circulation of the blood,
and thus render the feet unable to resist
the influence bf cold weather. Many
remedies have been proposed, but there
is none which has proved perfectly satis
factory It has been confidently asserted
tat if any lady were to wear three pair
of thick shoes, together with two pair of
cotton and six pair of woolen well,
stockings, cold feet would bo unknown ;
but inasmuch as the most delicate foot if
thus arrayed would rival m; apparent size
and grace a full-grown sofa cushion, no
lady has ventured to try the remedy. It
has also been suggested that metallic
shoes fitted with tanks for hot water
would keep the entire female system in a
gentle simmer, but here again the size of
the proposed shoes is a fatal objection to
the plan. Mr. Dio Lewis boldly remarks
to the ladies of Boston : "If you wish to
keep your feet warm eat ja quart of oat
meal three times a day, and throw away
your elastic v but really his language
cannot be repeated. It is snffi -Inn to say
that his advice has not been followed, and
that his countrywomen indignantly deny
that he knows anything about their cir
culation, and the effect upon it of the
articles of dress which he coarsely mei -
tions. !

youth,' beauty, "and general excellence,
Mrs. Withers was ' peculiarly stwceptibleJ
theittflnence of cold weather, and suf-
ered untold agonies from cold feet from
he 1st of 'November to the middle of
April. The Baptist meeting house was a
particularly cold place, ."' and it often
happened that after "the end of the Sun
day morning service Mr. HiVithers . wras
compelled to tarry his wife -to the stove
and to thaw her out before attempting to
take her home. . r
During the recent cold snap in East
Bridgewater, Mrs. Withers suffered so
severely that she came to the determina
tion to try every remedy for cold feet
which any one might suggest, to her. On
Saturday evening, December 30, Mr.
Withers being absent on a visit to Chi
cago, his younger brother, a bad young
man, holding the position of teller in the
ocal bank, and noted for his fondness for
sinful games of every description, called
upon Mrs. Withers, and when that admir
able woman bewailed the coldness of the
Baptist meeting-house, told her that he
lad an infallible recipe for keeping the
eet warm in the very coldest weather.
He advised hi3 innocent sister in-law to
pour a half pint of Cayenne pepper, mix
ed with two tablespoonfuls of ground
mustard, into each of her stockings, just
before going to meeting, and assured her
hat if she would try this cheap and
simplo prescription her feet would remain
comfortably warm, even if she were to put
hem under the same table with those of
he Hon. TQhrles Francis- Adams. Mrs.
Withers thanked the young man with a
guileless gratitude that would have touch
ed the gratitude of a brass monkey, and
instantly sent the. servant to buy six
pounds of cayenne pepper.
On the following morning, just before
the church-bell rang, 'she used the com
bined pepper and mnstard in accordance
with her brother-in-law's instructions, and
walked to the meeting-house without any
inconvenience from the cold. The ser
vice began, and though at first Mrs.
Withers felt delightfully warm, she
showed signs of
uneasiness
long before
Just when
the minister gave out his text.
that eloquent preacher was well under
way, he was stricken . dumb with horrro
at the unaccountable conduct of Mrs.
Withers, whp suddenly began to dance in
the wildest manner and to shriek, "Take
them off !" in the most heart-rendering
tones. It was too late in Hhe season for
snakes, and hence the congregation jump
ed to the conclusion that Mrs. Withers
had gone mad. The deacons promptly
went to her relief, but the more they
tried to calm her the more violently she
danced. Finally she broke loose from
them, and, tearing off her shoes and stock
ings, fled barefooted to the nearest house.
While the congregation watched her
flight down the aisle, and wondered
whether she could break a hole in the
frozen river large enough for drowning
purpose, a sudden and unanimous desire
to sneeze fell upon them, a nd for the next
ten 'minutes the uproar was deafening.
At the end of that time. "the. minister dis
missed his audience by an elaborate pan
tominej and went home firmly convinced
that the clays of demoniacal possession:
and wichcraft bad returned. The next
morning Mrs. Withers took the earliest
train for Chicago, ,and her wicked
brother-indaw, who was frightened at the
horrible success of his joke, started pre
maturely upon his European' tour, leaving
at least $3,000 of, bank assets which, had
he waited two weeks longer, he would
have been able to take with: him.
- This teaches us that our little feet were
never made to be tortured with pepper
and mustard, and that it is better that one
person should suffer from cold than that
a wii 'lc congregation should sneeze itself
out of its collective boots. .v; " "

ANECDOTE OF F. E SPINTfER.
HB MEETS HIS MATCH AT LETTER WRITING.' '
One day, a short time after the late 'un
pleasantness terminated the ' 'correspond
ing clerk , of, Gen. 'PJE. Spinner, ' then
Uv Si Treasurer, entered the sanctum of I
it up and looked at it, and, begipn .to.look.
savage as he noticed .that the enclosure t
was a : Confederate vlfttK nexTid
the letter, which 4 was a 'very courteous t "
epistle from a Southern man not yet re
constructed, who stated that inasmuch as
the United States had succeeded to the
assets of the Confederacy, he presumed
there would be no objection to assuming
its liabilities, and closed by requesting the
Treasurer to cash the note. ',
Spinner laid the ; letter down gently
and leaning back in his chair began to
think it over and get, mad. The process
was rapid and the success brilliant beyond
precedent. He fairly roared at the cool
impudeneo of the letter, .and after dis
charging a number of vigorous and far
from pious denunciations at the head of .
the ex reb, he turned to the clerk and said :
"Tell the man to go to h 1"
; The obedient scribe accordingly replied,
re-enclosing the note, and stating that .the
that onicera'nd quietly laid abetter and
enclosureblfore ,nmlp The ol man took
power which had called the Confederacy
and its paper money into existence, hav- .
ing returned to the place of its inception,
to wit, the infernal regions, the Treasurer
recommended him to have it cashed fbere,
;J1 aL j. !i. i
auu vo. present it in person.
This reply pleased' the General prodig
iously and he chnekled heartily over it
for several weeks, thinking he had extin
guished the cool Southerner.
But one day another letter was received
from the man, who r. apologised for not
answering the General's letter sooner,
but explained that the delay, had been
caused bf the length of the journey ho
had recently undertaken at the' instance
of the Treasurer. He then proceeded to.
state that, in accordance with the sugges
tions made, he had travelled to. tho dwel
ling place of "Old Nick," and had actual
ly bad an interview with him. He des
cribed the sulphurous deity as a rather
affable, baldheaded old cuss, and said that
on presenting the confederate note, and
Spinner's letter to his hostrthe old fellow
glanced at it, and turning to a clerk, said,
"here pay this man his money. I know
Spinner well enough ; this indorsement is
good, Enough for me," and turning to his
guest he continued : "Just tell Spinner I'll
take his indorsement for any amount he
signs for."
This letter was shown the old man,
who read it, and found speech inadequate
to fitly express his views ; but he thought
until the skating park on the top of his
head got purple. When he recovered
sufficiently to command language, he
turned to his corresponding , clerk and
said, while a bland smile radiated bis face,
communicating a roseate glow tu his en
tire countenance : 'Mr. G : , I think this
is a good time to drop the correspondence."
CONVICTION OF BOWMAN.
This murderer of his wife in the county
of Rockingham was put on his trial at the
late term of Guilford Superior Court, the
case having been moved from Rocking-"
ham. After six days of investigation, tho
case was submitted to the jury on Wed-
nesday evening at 7; o'clock, and at half
past 8 it returned a verdict of guilty. . ' . ;
It was a case of secret poisoning, and ;
one that demanded ; the , most i thorough .
familiarity with that scientific knowledge
needed to baffle the arts of secret guilt.
