4 NOTICE.
1 1 All cases of discbarge by reason of votin
the Republican : ticket should be at once re
ported to Geri Rutheefoiu). -V.,,. ..
a. word. ,7 .
While waiting for the figures which will
enable us to chronicle a victory for the Con
stitution and Reconstruction, and such 1
victory we are confident we shall be able to
proclaim e're another week has passed; we
desire to offer a word or two upon: a subject
. which should secure careful attention.
The contest now closing has been1 cbarac-
i . lerizca uy great Diueruess 01 speccn. ura
. tors and editors have indulged in furious dc
nunciations, and unsparing misrepresenta
tion and defamation. On the part of Demo
cratic speakers, writers and canvassers, the
sanctity of private life has been invadedre-.
ligious convictions and opinions t have been
held up to contempt misfortunes tidfeuted
devotion to public interests treated with
scorn professions of piety and patriotism
branded asj hypocrisy, and men of -spotless
: . reputations - characterized as; 'immwal
scoundrels' fraud has been countenanced
violence applauded and oppression 7 in-
stigated and perpetrated., !&i,'jH.hJ,
j It is no justification to say that J these 'in
decent, wicked .outrages were committed in
the heat ot political passion, and there was
no malignant purpose in the deed, for they
were marked with deliberation they; were
reiterated and repeated; , And beside, to
affirm that the' expressed thought misreprei
sents the opinion of the writer r speaker, is
to charge him with, hypocrisy, and that of
the basest sort. An expression;whicli belies
the convictions of the intellect and the emo:
tions of the heart, is not only a lie or hypoc-
4bj, uufc 111s Doin iaiscnoocl antf hypocrisy.
If this course was pursued solely for the
purpose of making political capital, regard
less of truth, then the authors are malicious
-slanderers. . - V; - ' '
- An every moral respect the course of . the
Democratic papers, speakers in this Sfcat
during the recent political
e
in
their personal treatment of their opponents,
is atrocious. In calm and reflective mo
ments, every honest man of that party must
be ashamed of them.: jlf they have any con-.-
science, sucb editors and speakers must be
ashamed of themselves. f 77 7
,
To attempt to blast the reputation and
destroy the prosperi'y and peace of a fellow
man, this is the work of Satan. The perpe
tration of sucli a eed must crush all man
liness out of the soul. 77- v'
Wc ask now our cotemporaries of the
press, to review this matter and to speak
out plainly the dictates of soberness and
truth. It is in the power of the press to
correct thi3 to purify the stream of poli
tics. - Let the press frown upon . f alsehd:o$l--rebuke
misrepresentations," lrisist upon
courtesy, discontinue violence and speakers
will take heed to their speech, and assem
blies maintain order. 7 ' f 5 S ;
f Until this is done, matters . will tjwax
Tvorse and worse and anarchy result the
. field of politics will be left to unscrupulous
bullies. -..-Js-';
For the sake ot public virtue ani har
mony, let the remedy bo applied and ap
plied at once. : - ; - r
TnE electtion is over, the smoke of "battle
; is clearing away and both parties arc now
awaiting the result; on i the oae hand, the
lovers of Free Speech, Free Schools and
Equal Rights to pll men; and, on the other,
the party of proscription and wrpng.
We have no fears for the result, believing
"that enough loyal men are; living in uthis
State to control its destinies. Xk:s'T?'
All manner of tricks havo heen employed
by the Democrats in this contest, such as re
quiring voters to list their property before
voting, threatening to discharge their cm
, ployccs, bribery and fabulous stories of
evil, known to be false, of men on our ticket:
still as we said above, we have no fears of
the result ',- " i
X . ' - t Very Appropriate.
It is reported, and tho names of the parties
. are accessible, that the defeated " Conserva
' 1 tives," so-called, of. this city, are arranging
to " chunk" with rotten eggs the Republi
, can candidates for office.
, "NVe liave known for a long time that these
men were stale, and are not surprised that
they have advanced to a stage of rotteness.
Neither are we surprised that they should
resort to darkness and rottenness in order
to vent their disappointment and malignant
- spite. ' - : -
We only say that if assaults arc to bo
made, there will be blows to give as well as
to take. A word to the wise, &c.
' The Star publishes a letter jurportin to

Wc have never heard of any such organiza.
V tion in this city or elsewhere ; and as the
Star seems to know all about ; it, will he be
' kind enough to tell us, that we may be on
, the lookout for it. The members might put
on white clothes and try to scare a man going
heme these dark njghts ; and as we are one
,' ot this midnight persuasion we would like to
know,' for; wc scare easy.- '

: :Who has Backed Down Wow ?
A Conservative was marching about yes
terday, anxious to bet ,: $500 on the election.
A Republican heard of it and. went for him.
After a long search he was found, the bet ac
cepted, and $100 forfeit -offered that' the
money should be on nana as soon as the Dank
pened this morning. Mr. Conservati ve "de
clined, and said he must have the cash put
up then.. . Promising to; return, he came
down town, procured the $500 and returned
but Mr. Conservative couldrtt he found.
By tho way, that party making , the big
blowjn Htie Journal of yesterday has not
been seen since. The cash is ready for him
if he will only appear.

LETTER FltOIH RICE BIRD;

I have been so busy working for the party,
that I have not had time to write since the

I will try to . make
about the elections.
Ward to cast my vote on Tuesday! :t for my
motto is to vote earlv and often, when I
met seventeen men, each one with a printed

I knew they were all Democrats by the way
they looked at mei I was brave - however,
for I was on the good side. I must confess
I was a little nervous because there were a
lot of Dutchmen there who had sworn that
"overt aity man, he vote dc Rattical dicket,

thus you see I was worried. I however took
up a Kerjublican ticket, a man asked my
name and I vociferated Rice Bird. There
was a flutter ot seventeen blue books, print
ea at ine tAownai orace, out my nime was
nt to be lound. I assured the inspectors
that I' was registered and had voted at the
last election, but it was no go. They had

,a fine joke there, however, and as you and I
always laugh if there is any thing to laugh
a!t, I will tell it. The judges of election at
one precinct, had a large pile of "Conserva
tive tickets1' they were anxious to change
into votes, and every time a white man came
there, they handed him the ballot ; saying
" this is your ticket, vote this, we white men
are all together to-day." They . tried it on
one old man who looked as though his son
had been forced away from him in his de
clining years to fight in the Confed. army
but he drew back ; and exclaimed " No, sir !
I have done, voting lor Nabobs, and at their
dictation'. I shall hereafter vote as my o wn
