It in no doubt frtsh in the mi nils of the people of thin State that tu Federal Corgtess ia l&'JO endeavored to ensct a law, the chief feature of which, waa to place Fixkral i.oldier at all the polling places ia th coun try. The South arote slmrst EN mah.sk, aud with vehement and indig nant language the prtss denounced and coodemntd the measure a one aimed at the aupprt-BHion rf the right add liberties of the Southern peopl. They argued that Federal inter ference iu elections was a gross and damnable iniquity which no free people wonld tolerate; and it will be remembrred, that through the in strnmtintality largely of a few West ern Senators, who defied their parly on the question, the Furce Bill was defeated. Bat wo wish, in this article, to diruct the attention of all honest, fairininded, liberty-loving people of North Carolina to the ucjust, unfair, iniqaitions and infamous Force Hill Election Ltw that was placed on the statute books by the Ust Demo cratic Legislature. Numerous features of the law are unfair and partisan in the extreme but .there is one section of this lw that will arouse indignation of all people who love justice and fiir- dealing. Thia section provides that the "rogisrars and judges of election may appoint as many election con stables or biliffs, not to exceed three as they may deem necessary for eaih precinct or ward, to be present dur ing the election to ktep the peace and to protect the voting place, jnd to prtvent improper intrusion upon the voting place or the booths or railed or roptd tpace provided in this act, or interfering with the election, and to arrest all p..Tsoj3 treating any d s'uibance about inn voting place, and to enable all per sons who have not voted and who desire to vote to have unobstruo'ed accoss to" the pulls for the pursos of voting when others are not voting and to keep clear the open spico hereinbefore provided at all times during the election. It shall be the duty of the election constables ot bailiffs to be present at the voting place and to take such steps as will accomplish the object of their ap pointment, and they shall have full power to do so. And they may f urn mors to their aid all persons present at the voting place and may arrest offenders against this section and bold them in custody as long as may be necessary, not to c xceed twenty four hours.'' We have quoted the above section from the election law so that the veters of the State may Bee it, studv it, anatyzo it, and thoroughly ac quaint themselves with the hellish power that is conferred on these e!ec tion "constables" to deprive and rob the masses of their rights and liberties. There was a storm of abusq heaped on the Northern men in Congress some years ago for their efforts to pass a Force bill, but we never expected to see the day, that some of the same men bere in North Carolina who were so rehement and vigorous in their dunnnciation of the Force Bill, would themselves place "constables" at the polls to intimidate free men- nnder the pretext of preserv ing law and order. And these "Constables" have absolute and un timited power, and if they see fit can have a good-s zd army at the foils to overawe, intimidate and eoerce the yoters. Is this grand old State that first stood for liberty, for justice and for independence ready to see the people's liberties ruthlessly ttampled upon in such manner! We say emphatically that the peo ple of North Carolina will never sub ! I . - A. 1 1 . . um ia xue nomination oi any ring or machine such as will attempt to deprive them of their rights. We want no Force Bill Election Law in North Carolina! Liet the people remember that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." KLNUIKY MKTMODS." I he following is an Associated Press Dispatch from Lexington Kentucky: The plan for electing Goebel haa about developed. It is to organ !Z9 Goebel clubs among the negroes, which is an easy matter to do be cause of the stories which have be;c well circulated as to the frindliness of Attorney General Taylor the Re publican nominee, to the seperate coach law and the well-known op position of William Goebel to tbe law. Goebel's friends declare the negroes are going to vote forGoebei in great numbers, but this ridiculed by the Republicans. In the the "Bin Grass'' State tie Democrats, it would seem from the above statement, are relying upon the negroes for their success in the election of Goebel. One would judge from the interest ing bit of information that Demo- J e wherever I erats use the negro vote wherever and whenever it beeves their pur posk so to do bnt of, course, S.m- mons and his crowd would not al low (!) negroes in North Carolina to vote the Democratic ticket! Sim mons and Bob Glenn should make a tour all the way to Kentucky imtnedi- j ately in order to restrain theirjpood brethren in that State from commit ting such a dastardly political crime. They certainly should ARM them selves thoroughly, and then take a Urge band of the "Red Htirt Bri gade'' with them to pat a e'op im mediately to such action on the part of their Kentucky brethren. There would certainly be exeat ctase for alarm to the red rbirt gang in North Carolina if the great State of Ken tacky goes Democratic by the voteatid aid of the ngioe. In-leed, the lied ShirUra, would be like Otbellu their occupation wonld be gone. , If fl jebel, by the aid of his negro Democratic Clubs, sboald carry Kentucky it wonld be a grand and glorious opportunity for the News & OisfKRVEK to scold and condemn the Democracy of that State for such political herisey! Indeed, as cording to Democratic reasoning in this State, if Kentucky goes Duno cratic only and solely by the aid of the negro vote, will it not be a plain case of "negro domination)'' Perish the thought I And while we are .dis cussing the Kentucky matter it will be exceedingly interesting, at this juncture, to reproduce an editorial extract from the Washington Post ( I the 5th instant, as follow?: "We learn that the colored voters of the country are going over to the Democracy in one vst concourse. VVe learn this in the Democratic newspapers. '' P. S. The aboyo, of course is written in the light of the 1 ud pro fessions that are made by negro ca lamity howlers. But as a matter of fact the Lemo;ratic machine got more negro votes in North Carolina last fall than their majority. ILVEtt WITH OrUKK ISSUES, SAYS BUY tN.

The fol lowing dispatch explains : New York, Sept. 11. More than mild interest is being manifested in this city by cotton brokers and commission merchants in the revi val of what has been called the "sub-Treasury plan" for marketing cotton and similar staple products The plan contemplates the estab lishment of bonded warehouses to store cottons, etc., at low rate of storage and insurance, and to use the receipts for such goods as col lateral in any part of the United States as security for a loan eauali to 80 per cent, of the market value.' of the merchandise. The scheme is said to have been inaugurated in Georgia, and the ptomoters hope to extend it to other Southern States.

Sir, for oc cupying, in your last Issue, so much of its valuable space, in belaboring the Fifty-five Quadrupeds who at any time can well-nigh furnish, working quorums of both branches of this General Assembly. But I owe them no apology whatever. For are they not my beloved rep resentatives? And when they took the oath of office which I am afraid they some times forgot to keep did It not occur to them, that "the disciple is not above his mas ter, nor tbe servant above his lord"? Their High Mightynesses under stand, well enough, tbe relation which subsists, between them -and me, for if that were other than it is, I should feel that Things bad come to a devil-of-a-psaa, If a man cant wallop, his oww, jack-ans Dismissing them for the present, I must resume my argument by ob serving, that incurable as our Po litical Condition confessedly is, and deplorable as I believe 1 have shown our Social Condi tion to be, I should despair of any improvement in either of them, if it were not for our despe rate Industrial Condition. Of this then let me speak, for this alone gives me hope ! Difficult, as it al ways is, to argue against "the gold, that guilds the narrow forehead of the fool," it is not so difficult, when the narrow forehead of the fool, with whom I am contending, is no longer gilt with gold. For if the products of free-negro-labor were fairly remunerative, or likely ever to become so, it would be as vain for me, as it was for Franklin and Jefferson, and Clay, and Lincoln, and Grant, to reason with the ordi nary man, in respect to things, that are of infinitely greater im portance to Society, and to the State; and if J were to attempt such a thing, I feel that I ought to humble myself before the magni- tudeof my undertaking. But when I look upon our Industrial Condition, present, and prospective, I take fresh courage! For here, all the laws of industrial economy are fighting on my side, preparing us, and even compelling us, to rid our selves of this unprofitable race. Most fortunately for me, these eco nomic laws have now been so long in operation, as to have converted the whole South, into a Kinder garden school, full of object less ons. Here, then, if the laboring white man, and more particularly the ag ricultural laborer of North Caroli na, will give me his attention, I have that to say to him, which it CONCERNS HIM TO KNOW. But first, let me assure him that I am, in blood, in feeling, and in destiny nis orotner-man, iuuy conversant with all the hardships and per plexities that digress him. And if he, looking first backward into the past, and then forward into the fu ture, should ask me, What is th market value for which our agri cultural staples are now grown ana must) continue to do grown, so long as our lanor-system remains what it is ? I reply, that they are now grown, and will always be GROWN, AT WHATEVER PRICE THE negro-la borer is able to pro duce them. For into whatever pro duct, his labor ent? rs as a co-effic ient, it must determine its price, And that will be the cheapest price possible, because he is the cheap est- possible laborer, so that in a struggle for a bare gx- lstence ana it nas almost come to tnat wnicn ne . is waging witn the white laborer, the only question to be decided, between tnem, is tnat or tne survival, of the cheapest. And the negro-la borer is the cheapest because he is content with a standard of living so low, as to defy all human com petition. In so unequal a contest, therefore, the advantage, on the side of the negro-laborer, is so great, as to enable him to drive his white competitor from the field, or to DRAG HIM DOWN TO HIS OWN WAGE level. For if he can underlive the white laborer, he can underwork him, and can undersell him, and by underworking mm, and undersell ing him, he can work him out, and sell him out. For be it remember ed, that the Negro is not only the "Man with the Hoe," but he is the Man with the Hoe-cake 1 Hence it is, that he can afford to make "t ive-Cent-Cotton," where the white-la borer fails. Hence also, we find him as the t nant in possession of the best lands, for the reason that he can pay the highest rents, and this ne is able to do, not because he can produce more, but because he can live on less It is this Cheap Labor-System that is, everywhere, enslaving the laboring white men of the South. To create this Cheap-Labor-System was the well -concealed purpose, of our jivu war. That such was its purpose, was long hidden from those who participated in it. To prove my assertion, let me sum mon every surtiving Confederate Veteran, who, like mjself, stood for four years in the fiery path of Northern aggression, and let me enquire, if he did not, during those stormy years, ask himself a thou sand times, Why is it, that our Northern countrymen are making a war of extermination, upon those fwno were, and Had always been, their best customers?

Others were frying as bari', to tetrify the hoofs of living horse-", bo as to prevent foundering! Others wtre engaged in the work of solteulog marble, into pillows and pincushions ! While others still, were trying to extract sunbeams out of cu cumbers! To the reader of Gulliver's Travels these must have teemed to be absurd employments, and yet, no one of these was more absurd 1 speak in a general way than the mt ney-mak-iug experiment, which for more than thirty years, we have been conducting with cheap-negro-labor. For after puzzling over this problem, for all these years, we have discovered, tbat one side of tbe equation exactly bal ances tha other aide, and that tht vhnlo in expressed in tbe formula, ex kiuiljI nihil fit, which is as much as to say, that tut of nothing you can get nothing For, after all, cheap labor ia the greatest blight, that can befall any country. So disappointing, in its results, has has ben this system of cheap-labor. that i hazard the assertion, tbat tbere cannotJe found any .State in tbe Snath, or any section of any State, or any county of auy section, or any town ship of any county, or any neighbor hood of nay township, where tbe se curity, the enterprise, and tbe thrift, are not in inverse ratio to the predom inence of tLe negro population. Wher ever tbat predominates it furnishes chattel mortgagee, convict-labor, 'Ly aching. Bees," bloodb tundi, and Five Cent ( otton" and other raw ma terial in proportion. And tbe effect ot this Cheap-Labor-System which does not apply to our manufacturing industries, for in them tbe Negro does not, as yet, enter as a factor has been to convert the people of North Caroli na, very largely, into two grand divis ions, composed of Poor White Folks ou tbe one side, and Poorer Free Negroes on the other. I speak in general terms, for tbere is stil', a small and oppulent division, tnat seeks to rule the otber two. And it is tLis powerful minority, whicn is in undisputed control of the Democratic party to day. This purblind paitj, in its solution of the Racial Problem, has from the beginning been a paltt of experi ments. Thus, as far back as 1875, it b gar, in a fit of generous lnlhusiasm it in fact its action was not coerced by the 15th Article of the U. S. Coa stitution? by investing the Negro with absolute political equality, and appealing to his gratitude, it exhorted him to put his trust in the Demo cratic party. But the wrong-beaded Negro declined tbe exhortation. No thing discouraged bv his refusal, ii next presented him with Public Free Schools of bis owu, and endowed cost ly and Eleemosynary and Educattooal institutions for bis benefit, and point ing to tnem, it conjured him to be a good cit zen, and vote the Democratic ticket I But all this only hardened him in his obstinacy, until the Demucratic party, in a transport of rage, bas dis eovered, that from firt to last, it bas been doing nothing but sowing the Dragon's Teeth. Now however, we are to have anoth er experimentand a new solution of tbe problsm. For wearied out, with the ungrateful obstinacy of tbe Negro, the Democratic party at length rtversee its whole policy, in respect to him. If now proposes in this land of equal con stitutional rights, to set up a political serraon;, which will be but sliehtn differentiated from Slavery itself; and tbis it is doing, in profound ignorance of tbe fact, tbat such treatment can snly aggrevate tbe distemper, it it trying to cure, by making tbe Negr JUSt A LITTLE CHEAPER THAN HI 1L ready is.

For the pest Cve er six year I have suffered untold agoay and had given op all hope of ever being free from the disease, as X have been treated by aome of the beat physieiaas and have taken many blood medicines, all la vain. With little faith left I began to take 8. 8. 8., and it apparently made the Ecsema worse, but I knew that this was tbe way the remedy got rid of the poison. Con tinning 8. 8. 8., the sore healed op entirely, the skla became dear and smooth, and I was eared perfectly ." Ecsema is an obstinate dlaease and ean set be eared by a remedy waiee to enly a tonic. Swift's Specific 8. G. 8. FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies beeaase it eares diseases waieh they oaa not reach. It goes to the bottom to the cause of the disease and will rare the worst case of Ecsema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It to the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury er aav other mineral, and never fails to cure Eesema. Scrofula, Contagiosa Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism.

And if I bad any means of pent trat ing his opaque understanding, it would be to convince him, tbat he ia in blood, and otherwise, so greet a o alien in tMa country, tbat be can never be incorpo rated into its body politic.

I would admon ish him, that ever since he act foot on these shores, he bss been a disturber of tbe public peace, and tbat tbere will be no peace for us, or for him, cmtil uc is gone, f would try to awaken b fear?, by showing him, tbat tbe only alternative wbicb the future onYrs bm i serfdom, or extermination bere, or colonizttion elsewhere. Let tnm th-n make bis choice between tbera when ever tbat choice shall be fairly pre sented. For if be would look abroad, be mibt everywhere see, in the tre mendous rush of modern civilisation, tbat the only thing for tbe inferior man, or the ' Man with tbe 11 oe and the lloecake is ro get out ok the way, and happy is he who can find an asylum elsewbere. But where can such an asylum be found?

In reply to tbe question by saying, if pn per en couragement were given to Negroes w emisi m tne u. .

Surely this muot be true, or President Grant must have been very far wrong in his estimate, man we isiana oi tiaili, alone, would auuru suipie accommouauon for our whole negr. population and the Inl and of Haiti can any day be ourp, for (he asking, provided we ask in tones loud enough I Cuba, likewise, offers a broad and fruitful field for Negro Col- umzaiion, ana mar also is ours but now aoouc tbe "Teller" Resolution which we tacked on to our Declaration A 9 IVa a a A, at M vi i. agaius opainr i near some lamc-nearted Anti-expansionist ex claim, forgetting that wa have al ready expanded. Alas! my faint hearted Contractionist, when yon talk about ucb things as tbe Teller" Res olution, you need expect no otber an swer than a ghastly smile, or a sardo nic grin ! And tbe best of all this baa neas is, that the labor or tbe Negro throughout all these tropical regions, could never come in competition with tbat of the white-laborer bere. Rut again it is objected : ir tbe to tal number of Negroes, in our entire country is, 9,412.250, as I have shown it to be, have tbey not multiplied so greatly as to make tbe burden, of their Deportation and Settlement, an insup portable oner Tbis o j action is al ways found in the mouths of those who, if HON.

WINSTON is to be believed, bave bad a good deal to do with multiplying them; or ele it proceeds from soma decrepit land lord, or otber paralytic, who bas used tbe Negro as a Crutch, so long, as to be unable to move without him. Mj reply to him is, tbat so far as numbers are concerned, tbe ratin htau Whites and Blacks now, as compared with tbat of any former neriod in nn history, is such as greatly facilitatem IBB UNDERTAKING.
