VYe hone these views wUl be found to
be good ia law, and cannot doubt that a
free, fair electioa will satisfy every one.
Indeed, we cannot set who can object to
the result. The detested candidates will I
certaiidy acee.it the result gracefully: the
present Incirmbenta will have no wish
nor intention to hold over, and the new
mayor and aldermen, when regularly in-
ducted into office, as tbey aurely will be,
will be mayor and aldermen dc fiirto.and

Two delegations of Republicans from
Alabama art besieging rresidrnt Ham-
son for recognition and favors; one that I
might b called the representatives of the
"old bue;- the other wmcn. renrcnU I
another Kne of thought and action,
which repudiates altogether the negro as
the essential factor in Republican politics,
In effect, both wings started from the
same point of action, both holding the
use of the negro at indispensable to party
success, the one honest or weak enough
to bold on to their original professions;
the otlier shameless enough to confess to
king career of deception, and now
ready to east the negro norm, and seek
alliance with enough of white Democrats I
weak enough to be deceived to secure
. such pnrty vk-toriee at had not been won J
by a solid and mtmixed negro vote.
Wc confess to no symmthies with the
negro m the nropased nbamkinnient. He States, tlie southern State to take all the
has bora the blind,.tul)bom, willing tool of negroes and tlie northern to embrace tlie
his party leader, impenetrable to argu- cities of Atlanta, Augusta and Itinning
' ment, enlightened by noexprrieiicc.,awak- ham. An insnperable objection is found.
ened by no deception; and with the fail
ure of all promises made to him, and the
disappointment of all hopes, atill faith
ful to his delusions, and steadfast to bit
party loyalty. , .; ' . ,
One of these delegations will claim for
the negro voters what Mr. Harrison will
never grant the reward! of victory, and
a reasonable number of offices. The other
the repudiation altogether of the negro,
the denial to him of all preferment, and
the recognition of an element of white
Democratic defection, upon which to
found a white Republican party,, iu Ala
bama, and also in the South.
Between the two, the attainment of su
premacy for the first, and the erection of
new party on other foundation on tlie
otlier, tlie Republican party would seem
very for from achieving solidity. The ne
gro voter is not likely to lie patient under
tlie contemptuous enmity of one wing of
hit party, nor conciliated by the certain
failure of the other to secure him profita
ble recognition, and will rather be in
clined to rrsrntment than stronger fideli
ty. On the other hand, the uncertoiuty
or caprtrioutness of such resentment will
compel the white voters to remain on
guard, lest by negligence, perhaps by
worse agency, affairs sliould fall Into
hands unable or unfit to direct them ; in
which ease that branch of the IMirty
which relies for success upon accessions
from the white ranks w.U fall far short
of its aims.
That branch, bring false to the nrero.

The Misissipii and Louisiana press 1

J those States while men, anxious to
make money out of the negro's labor
with no thought or care for the future,
seduce him from his home in the South

move back to the older Southern States,

Admiral Kimlierly is severe in his

of tlie Trenton, which so placed the

Hooded by tlie waves that broke over her
in the great Samoon hurricane, putting
out the tires and leaving her at the mer
cy of tlie raging waters in tlie treacher

case is that attention had been called to
this delect repeatedly, but no strut had
ever Iwen taken to remedy it. But for
this it is nrohabk; that the flairshin
