THE LITTLE SAYllARD. It was tht twelfth night after ChristBias an evening celebrated in England, France and Germany by fetes and entertaintneitU, in which the children bear a prominent part. I must ask the reader to accompany me to an elegant mansion in the aristocratic Boulevard of Malesherbes, in the city of Paris. It was easy to see that southing was going on inside, for it was brilliantly illuminated, and from time to time elegantly-dressed figures were indistinctly seen through the opening of the curtains. It was a Twelfth Night Festival. The saloon was fairly ablaze with light. Multitudes of children, dressed with taste,
movea aoout gracetuliy m childish dances, or eagerly partook of the bonbons, which on that occasion ara always I liberally supplied. Among them moved elegant ladies, most of them being parents of ti.e children present, who with smiles watched the enjoyments of the littl ones. A last came the grand ceremony of the evening. This was the cutting of tbe Twelfth Night cake, which was of mammoth proportions, and of which each guest was entitled to a share. Tne cutting of the cake was watched w:th interest, and the pieces were drawn by lot. Just before this was done, however, the Countess d,Chnrny said to the hostess: "Will you gratify me in a little cap-.ice V? " Certainly," said the hostess, complacently, " It is this : I wish my portion of the cake to be given to the poorest little boy we can find in the street." The Frch are always fond of novelty, and t.nia "caprice" struck the hostess M r,rorrjiiiijf a pleasant variety. " It is a good thought," she said. I will at once dispatch Antoine on your errand." Antoine wan at hand, his services being liable to be called upon as any moment. He shrugged his shoulders as the message wagiven him, and thought there was no accounting for the caprices of fine ladies. But of course it was not for him to remonstrate, and he went out to execute -his errand. Beaching the street, he looked around him, hoping he might not have to e 3 far in the ll.
for it was one of; the coldest nights cf
uie winter. Ah, there's a little vagabond, luckily 1 Now to capture him." ' The boy referred to was a ragged little Sa.voeaid, Of ten years old, apparently? who was standing opposite, with his little violin -under his arm. He had been about the street all day, playing wherever he could get listeners. From soma places he had been driven with
i.ouse, tor nis instrument wag far from being a superior one, and poor little Carlo was only a passable player. The poor- fellow had suffered not only a little with cold, for bis clothes were thin and by no means sufficient h.r the season ; and he had nothing to eat since the crust of bread which was given him in the morning by the speculator who bad brought him, with several others, to Paris, and now lived on their earning?, doling them out the smallest allowance of food that would keep soul ana body together. After wandering about the whole day, little Carlo had strayed into the Boulevard des Malesherbes, and had paused in front of the beautiful mansion where
the festival, was going on. He could see
indistinctly the forms of the children who were participating in the enter
tainment, and it is quite likely that the
poor little fellow felt a sorrowful envy of those whose lot was so much brighter than his. His gaze was so intent that he did not notice the appearance of the servant until Antoine, having crossed
the street, laid bis hand on his shoulder,
Carlo started in alarm, antl tried to tear
hirxm.'a from the servant s grasp.
" Not ho fast, little chap," said An
toine, " 1 want you."
' I didn't do any barm," said the
Savoyard, trembling ; for he supposed Antoine' s intentions were unfriendly.
" Who said you did ? I )nly said that
1 wan tea you."
The little Savoyard looked at him
distrustfully. He had met with bo lit
tie kindness in his life that he regarded
strangers as enemies rather than as
friends.
" You are to come with me into yon
der mansion," said Antoine.
" Where the lights are?" asked the
raeged boy, in surprise.
" Yes. Come, hurry along, I don't
want to stay out here in the cold."
" But why am I to go up there ?"
asked Carlo, puzzled.
" You will know when you get there,
AU I can tell you is that my mistress
want you."
Perhaps I am wanted to play on my
violin," thought the boy ; and with this idea he followed the servant to the entrance of the mansion. A moment later he was usherod into the brilliant saloon, blazing with lights. He locked around him, dazzled and nearly Winded by the glare. There was a chorus of ejaculations, and the young gentlemen and ladies gathered around the timid little Savoyard, who stood bewildered in the midst of the magnificence. In tie midst of it the Countess of Charnj, whose caprice had been the cause of his appearance, advanced towards the little boy, and gently removed his tattered cap. " Ah, he is indeed pretty," s"he said, as his chestnut hair fell in a natural wave oyer a fine brow, which seemed white comparison with his sunburnt cheeks. His eyes were a bright hitzel, his features were exquwiteiy turned, only thin from want of sufficient lood. In spite of his raps, ic was easy tosee that he was gifted with beauty. " Countess, you will soil your gloves," said a guest, as she took the little boy by the hand and led him forward into the center of the saloon. " Tt en I can buy another pair," she said, indifferently. "It is I who sent for vom," ihe said to Carlo. " 1 vill tell you rbat to do." The drawing commenced. Thelitile Savoyard followed the directions of the Countess, and his share of cako was handd him. " Whoever finds the ring in his slice shall be king of the party," said the
Hostess, in explanation ; or it a young lady she shall be queen. The king or queen has the right to select one of tho opposite sex to share tho honor of royalty." " May I eat it, madam ?" asked the Savoyard, with a longing glance at the cake he held in his hand. " Y.-s, my child ; but have a care nos to bv allow the ring, if it should, be within." All the children were eagerly examining the slices, in the hope of finding the ring, which was the prize of the evening. In the midst of it, the little Savoyard drew the glittering circlet from " the cake, saying to the Countess, " I have it, madam," "Tae king! The king! The little Savoyard is king I" shouted the children, " You are the king of the festival," said the hostess, advancing and leading forward Carlo, who seemed bewildered by the enthusiasm. It was a strange scene the little ragamuffin in the center of the saloon, surrounded by elegantly dressed children,over whom he was called to exercise sovereignty. The children enjoyed it better than if one of themselves had
been chosen. " A queen ! A queen'! He must name
a queen!" shouted all.
" LiOor arounu you," said the hostess. "It is for you to choose a queen from those present." The little Savoyard looked around him ik moment, and went back to the Countets de Charny. " I want you to be queen," he said. "Eut,"said the Countess, (i it is the custom to choose a young girl." " I want you to be queen," he persisted . "Why do you choose me?" she asked. " Because you are kind to me,' said Carlo. " Besides, you look like my mother." " Like your mother ? 1 she living ?" " I don't know, madam 5 but I have her picture." " Show it to me," said Countess, who seemed to be moved by a strange interest. Carlo drew from under I is ragged vest a small locket suspended by a plain white string. The picture, though stained and discolored, presented the face of a beautiful young lady of twenty. No sooner did the Cour. tess cast her
eye upon it than she utuered a cry of
joy, tina inrew ner arms arounu the astonished boy. " My boy I My boy ! my own little Victor! Are you again restored to me ?" All. the guests, gazed in astonishment at this unexpected tableau. The Countess;, quickly recovering herself, said, while an expression af joy irradiated her sweet face : " The picture is mine, as yon can perhapj discover by examining it. Eight years ago I wis journeying in the northern part of Italy with my husban J and my little Victor, then four yearr, of age, when he suddenly disappeared from me. Wo had no doubt that he was stolen, and offered a Iwge reward for his recovery, tat withoat success. From that day 1 have mourned for him as for one whom I
never expected to see in this world. It
doubtless Providence who by such
strange means has restored him to me."
" Are you my mother, shen ?" asked
Carlo.
"Yes, my child." and aain the
mother clasped the boy, ragged and dirty though he was, to her boiiom.
1 h .s time he returned to her caress. " 1'hen I shall not be huncrv anv
more?" he said.
" No, my poor cniid. " Let him tell us his skrv." demsnd.
ed the children,
So, seated on a chair in their miflt.
the little Savoyard told his utorv in an.
swertothe many questione I hat were
pourea in upon mm. As far buck as he could remember, he wandered about
with his little violin, in Italy at first, but for the two last ymrs in Paris, where he had suffered every discomfort
and privation. He was in the charge of
n Italian named Giacomo Bsrloni, who JjiT ....
proiesseu 10 lane care ol turn, and to whom his violin belonged. "We will send for him to-morrow," said the Countess. " I trust buy the violin of him as a memorial of the years of terrible privation through which you
uav' paieseu. That night the little .Savoyard, who was accustomed to sleep on a bed of straw, retted his weary limbs on a bed of down, in the beautiful mansion of the Countess de Charny. The next morn
ing, ie was arrayed in a suit of elegant. boy' clothing, in which he looked transformed. Scarcely was the metamorphosis complete, then his Italtan maswr, who had been summoned, made his appearance, and bowing almoat to the ground, was admitted into the presence of the Countess. " Do you recognize this young gentleman?" asked the Counters, pointing to Carlo, who now lookod like a little prince.
" No, madam," " Yet you ought to know him well. It is the little Savoyard, Carlo." (f acorr.o was overwhelmed with astonishment. " But 1 do not understand," he sard. Toe explanation was briefly made.
The Italian was paid a munificent sum for the violin, which is now the only link that unites the little Count Victor with tho little Savoyard of former years. He is now at a militaiy school, and bids fair to maintain by his talents the distinction of the illustrious family to which he belongs. i ; Newspaper Celebrities, A correspondent of the &ri ngfield Republican gives the followi:tj; gossip about pome prominent newspaper celebrities of New York : Mary L. Booth returned If st week from a ten days' vacation, the first in five years, during which she visited the White Mountains and other intermediate localities. It is a prime principle of the Harpers never to delegate responsibility, and hence it is almost impossible tor any one filling such an onerons position as Miss Booth to get away from her desk. A more untiring worker can scarcely be found ; and what with reading manuscript,, and passing judgment on books, in addition to hor special duties in the Bazar, she finds her editorial chair not a bed of rosts. Yet, like every true literateur, she takes a hearty pleasure in her work ar d never tires of it. Miss Booth's example should warn youthful aspirantii of tbe toilsome nature of literary labo:-; but if this is not enough, they may draw a lesson from the labors of Georgu Ripley and Charles A, Dana. The former venerable slid most genial patriarc 1 of the press, though he has reached an age when most men might rightly claim
some cessation of their labors, performs an extraordinary amount of work. Every day he may be seen iu the Tribune editorial rooms, seated at his desk, with nothing to show the heat of the weather except that his coat is off. He says that no season suits his constitution as well as summer, and he is never in better condition than when the thermometer is among the nineties. It clears out the system, he thinks, and il rids it of bad humors and poor blood. Mr. Ripley is never in a hurry, but works with care and circumspection. Yet the amount of work he turns out is amazing. His handwriting is like copper plate, rarely showing an alteration, and it is the delight of tho printers. .Five long columns of solid type, including extract", is his weekly stint, in the Tribune, which would be a task for many a younger man. In addition to this, he is assisting Mr. Dana in editing the revised edition of the new Ameiican Cyclopedia, and his share of this work, each week, would puzxle most men to attend to. Mr. Buna writes as much for the Sun as Mr. Ripley does for the Tribune, but he employs a stenographer, which is a gre;vt help. The Sun's editorial page is all dictated or inspired by him, and ic addition he looks over most of the exchanges, receives scores of visitors, and does other odds and ends of work, which together amounts to considerable. Mr. Cfciamberlain, of the World, is another hard woiker, as is evident from the long series of masterly leading articles which he has written for the World, notably in last three months. It is Baid that he and W. II, Hulburt would think nothing of filling the editorial page of that paper at any time on a pinch with th eir own writing, and as it is, tbe quantity and quality of their articles are simply wonderful.

Synopsis of the Xaturalizatiou Laws. The following synopsis of the naturalization laws will be found of interest to those who are about to take out naturalization papers, in view of the coming election : Aliens who arrived in the United States before they were eighteen years of age; and who have continued to resi ie here, are not required to take out
any " first papers" or cert.ficate of
declaration, but may receive their "full papers" after having resided five years in the United States and became twenty-one years of age. Soldiers who have enlisted in the regular or volunteer army of the United States and been honorably discharged, do not require any certificate of declaration. All other persons must procure a cer
tificate of declaration at least two years
prior to getting their lull papers or certificate of naturalization, and no length ol time or residence will obvi
ate the necessiay of procuring the first
papers. First papers may be obtained at any time by an alien of the age of twentyone yearB or upward, and no testimony other than that of the applicant is required.
To obtain full papers the applicant
must nave resided at least two years 111
the United States after receiving his first paper, and the whole term of his residence in the United Staten must have been not less than five, and one in
the State where the application is first
made.
Upon making application for full pa
pers, tne applicant must bring into court his first paters, and have with
him a witness who has been acquainted
with him five years, who can testify to
bis good character, ana that he is at
tached to the principles of the Consti
tut ion cf the United States, and well
disposed to the good order and happi ness of the name.
If first papers have been lost, copies may bo obtained by writing to the
clerk of the court from which they were
issued.
wiien a lather receives nis luil pa
pers, his children who are under the age of twenty-one years and whose reeidonce
is men in tbe Umtod states, are con sidered citizens. Idle Daughters.
It is a most painful spectacle, says the Dramatic lievie.w. in families where the mother is the drudge, to see. daughters elegantly dressed, with their drawing, their music, their fancy worki, and
never dreaming of their respoasibili
ties; but as a necessary ensequence of
a neglect of duty, growing weary of
their useless lives, lay hold ot every
newly invented stimulant to rouse their
drooping energies, and blame their fate, when they dare not blame- their God, for having placed them where
they are. These individuals often te
you, with an air of aflected compaasion
(for who can believe it real?) that poor
dear mamma is working herself to death ; yet no sooner do you propose
that they should assist ner, tnan ttiey declare she is cuite in her element in
short, that she msver would be happy if
she only had halt so much to do.
Fbi.lo-Citizess, Ladies as') Gehti.emus s Tim Hon. B. Grata Brown, tho present Governor of Missouri, and tho candidate on tho Democratic ticket for Vino-President, recently made a epi;ech in this city, and ono at Springfield, 111., and these two upeeches, though sorrewhat contradictory in their character,' shall corridor as one for the purpose of a reply. liut before I come to that I bee leave to notice a pretense which Gov. Brown ha3 put forward, ar d which was also made by Senator Carl Schurz, that Missouri presented a remarkable example of the happy effects of reconciliation. By "reconciliation" they menu the enfranchisement of those in Miisouri who were engaged m the rebellion, &r.A who wero die rranchi8ed by a special clause in the Constitution'of that State in 18(14, but which was repealed in 1870. By "reconciliation" they further mean the elevation of the Democratic party to power in that Stite, the expulsion of nearly all Republicans from office, the election of Gen. P. anil Bla.r to the Senate and the inauguration of a state of disorder equal in many respects to tho disturbed diatricta in North and South Carolina and Texaa. If we arc to credit the reports of tho Aesomat-'d Press from various parts of Southern and Western Missouri, and the generally received statements of newspapers in that State, it is to-day c-ue ot the v.'orst-governed States in tho Union. Ii many parts of it there is no security for the fife, liberty, or property of Republicans, mob violence reigns supreme, and the authority of tbe civil power is set at defiance. If tbe abil ity and fitoeos of Mr. Brown to aorvo as Vica-President of the United States aret: be determined by his success us tho Governor of Missouri, we must entertain great doubts in advance. For while he has been perambulating other States making political hnranguas and electioneering fir himself and tbe holy cot in on of which be is an o-iginu'.orantl acindidate, respectable citizens of Missouri, whoso only fault is that they differ from in politics, have been cruelly scourged or outraged and driven into exile.
Both of Gov. Brown's speeches contain
many charges against the Administration
and tho Republican party, all of which I
avo not time, nor would it be profitably to
attempt to answer. B)t n of them are discursive, and exhibit high pretense to moralizing and philosophizing upon political
Basra.
THE COLORED PEOPLE. From the long and nomowhat rambling
iscuaaion upon tbd common and relations
ot the white and black rt cee in tbe Southern States, and the dangers of the fut' re, several
istinct propositions are evolved.
r irst, that unleif tuo colored peon 10 ot tue
Southern States give up their separate organizations and thsir political hostility to their old masters and enemies, and fraternize with them in the government of the States,
war oi races will be enirenuerert, ia which
tho colored people will bo exterminated,
riven into exile, or reduced to a condition
which be does not name, but which means
slaverv. The meaning of his proposition is
that colored people can have peace and security by submitting to the political domination of their lat j masters, and that a per-
istent retusal upon tneir part to do so, and
the assertion of thoir rights and character
n connection with those whom ho desribes
as " carpetbagger 1 and scalawags" will ro-
ult in disaster and ruin. The proposition
is developed as a threat against tbe colored peopled the South.
A tain, be asseru in suDSiance, and in di
rect terms, that tho Administration and tbe Republican party are endeavoring to com-
bino and consolidate tne colored peopio in a
separate organization for the purpose of op-
p reusing the white people ot those states, taking away their rights and redueiaj them to a subordinate position. These allegations are unfounded in every particular. There is not a single circumstance upon which they can be supported. They are among the wil!l and reckless declarations of a desperate minority who arc Btrugglin.5 by every means tnat may impose upon the public mind to
break down the party in power and soize
upon tho Government.
Again, te asserts tnat too colored people
of the South have been formed into secret
leagues and sociotes of a dangeroua char
acter for the purpeseof subverting the rights,
ecuritv aid happiness ot tho white people.
and that nniess these secret organization
are abandoned civil war and lesolation will
ntervene, in which the bla:k race will bite
the dust. Now, where is the evidence to sustain this statement? Numerous investi
gations have been had and witnesses on both
sides have been examined, tut nothing ot this kind has over been proved. The col
ored people have had their organizations, ODd some of them have been attempted to be
concealed chough tuey could not be, sui in
vestigatious have shown tnat they were harmless m their character, contemplated
no vioienco, no invasion of the rights of
hers, but were mere lBi.i-umentalities for
the pumose of conceutrattrg their own in
fiuence, HLd disseminating their opinions,
and for instruction.

But thi 9 pretense of dsnceroas organiza
tions among the people wt.s first invented and has been kept alive as an excuoe and
justification tor rui-iuux. it has never 1111
posed upon any intelligent man who was
acquainted with the facts, but has been
bruugh'. lorward as a bugbear to conlueo and
impose upon tho ignorant.
Bui 1 now come to what must be regarded
as an astonishing fact in a speech of a can
didate for the Vice-Presidency, who desires
the country to understand nnat he la a philosopher of candor and high moral tone,
which is, that in nil speech at Bpringheld be wholly failed to renogniie the lac, of the existence of the Ku-Klur. erganization in
the Soui.h, 01 to refer to it in the remotest
degree, and in bis speech in this city refer
red to it very remotely and only as a "cruol
disorder." What are wo to think of that
political discussioa which attempts to sup
press tne existence 01 azj inicrnai organization, which for bloody aire cities and crimes
without name hen no pa-allsl in history.
wb'cu loons o notmng loan than a political
revolution, which embraces at .east eight
StaU-s within its limits, and whose extent and history are established by tbe combined
evidenco ot thousauds ot witnesses: unl
among the loudout and most bitter in his denunciations was his own associate on tbe
ticket, Horace Greeley? Mr. Greeley, in his Bpeoch in New York, last year, on his return
Iroin ths Douth, spoke as lollows:
" Hut I have be mi asked, are there any It 11
Klux down South Yes, gentlemen, thero
-e. T iey didn't come up to me and tell mo they were Ku-Klux very ollon. They
did not undertake to perform any of their
delicate operations upon roe. I mould have
had very much more respect lor them 1
they liEid. Great laughter.
" I am moveu with pro'ound disgust when 1 think ol these aien covering themselves
with second-hand calico, masking their
faces, inning themselves to tho teeth, and
riding around to the cabins of poor, harmless negroes, dragging; them for heir beds, and whipping and maiming them until they are compelled to swear they will never again
vote the Republican tickot. I hold that to ba a very cowardly procedure as well as a
very base one; and I hold it to be the duty
01 mo uovernmenioi tne union to oppoa
with all its power and all its force every such execrable outrage as this. Do you tell
mo that those men are liable to Suto laws for the assaults and batteries they have committed? I don't douut it ; but I say tuey i.ro also, in substance and in purpose, traitors to tho Government, rebels against its authority, and the most cowaroly, Baulking rebels ever kaowj in this or any other country. Applause.
that asked ms if f saw any Ku-lClnx have
tncmseives rend tne returns 01 tne last rresidental election in Louisiana, when tht State, with 3(,006 Uiaek majority on its rejpsters, was made to vote for Seymour and Blair by more :kan 30,000 majority ; counties which had 3,01 0 rngro voters alcne giving thr, two, one, and in several Instances' as V.U :V at all, for Grant and Colfax. Now", IrTeifti!'., Jon nnd they ' know perfectly well that this result was secured by terroi and violence; by tolling thorn ' You shall vote for Seymour and Blair, tbe enemies of your fundamental rights, or you shall not vote at all, or you shall be killed.' That was the way Louisiana was made Democratic in .1888, and that is the way that I trust she will never be made to votri again. Therefore I uphold and juntify the Ku-K.lux law. " Fellow citiaens, the Ku-Klnx are no myth, although they shroud themselves in darkness. They are not flitting ghosts; they are a baneful reality. They have paralyzed the right of suffrage in many counties throughout tho South, and they have carried Slates that they ought not to have carried." The evidence taken before the Con grtssional InvestigatingCommittee.who'madetheir report in February last, shows every form of outrage, torture, and murder. " Iu fourteen counties of North Carolina eighteen murders were done, and 315 whippings occurred ; in nine counties in South Carolina, fr rty murders and over 2,000 other outrages ; iu twenty-nine countfes of Georgia, seventy-two murders and 128 whippings; in twenty-six counties of Alabama, 215 murders nnd 118 other outrages; in twenty counties of Mississippi, twenty-three murders and seventy-six other outrages; and in a single county of Florida, 153 murders.
" In these ninety-nine counties 426 murders were done, 209 other lets of violence."
Yet, of all tus history written in blood,
Gov. Brown seems utterly oblivious, and erdeavor9 t conceal this black mountain of crime and horror by blowing up before the public eye the bladaerof secret negro organi
zation, wnich never nun anyooay, never threatened to, which no sensible man was
ever afraid of, and which was long ago dissolved in all the disturbed districts of the
South. The man who conceals tbe Ku-Klux becomes, in the judgment of tbn world, a party to their organisation ; and Gov. Brown, while not recognizing their existence, endeavors to frame excuses and apologies
for them which are frivolous as well as un
founded.
WHITE PREJUDICE AOAISST TBS BLACK. But running all through the tw speeches
of Gov. Brown, while formally professing a regard for the political and civil rights of the colored people, is a very manifest and
persistent appeal to tho old prejudice ot tne white man against the negro.
DiPnamne ol getting any portion or the
colored vot-;, h attempts to excite the hatred and jealousy of the white race ugainst tbe colored by pretending that there is a deep-
laid scheme to make the white man subordinate to tho negro, to humiliate the white race by the elevation of the black to power, and so ou ad neuntam. Leaving out of these speeches a few formal phrasos intended to . ,, r 1 1 l t t
proiocunera irom buecoargooi Dritin-ramo-roy Bourbonism, they are such npeechei as might have been made by Mr. Handricks and Mr. Vnorhecs a year or two ago, and are direct appeals to the hatred and to the lowest passions of the white against tbe black race. " To this complexion has it
come at last" tho candidate for the Vice
Presidency invokes that spirit of hate, cast,
and bigotry which places inscriptions over waeons loaded with young ladies : " Fathers,
save us from negro husbands;" "Brothers,
protect us from negro equality; which burned negro orphan asylums aad hung negro women io lamp posts, which has destroyed negro school houses all through tbe South, and is tbe breath of life in the nos
trils of the demons 01 tne n.u-mux.
CARPET-nAQGBRS. A tain, Gov. Brown assails the recon
structed State Government as r aving been
organized by carpot-baggors, plunderers, and adventurers, who went down there to steal, and remained only until they were gorged, then to return to the North with
their stolen eoous. in an 1010 mere n 001, a
small element of truth, and for toal element.
nobody is responsible rut the inenda o! Gov. Brown,- North and South. When the work of reconstruction betan under the laws of floniress, nearly all those who had
been engaged in the rebell'oa refused to take part in it, stood aloof, declared I he action of
Jongresa unconstitutional, ana. jruiaiu w wash their hands of tba Whole business, in some 8tatea refusing even to vote one way
or the other, but in all unanimcuiiy opposing roAonntniction. This necenarily threw
the work of reconstruction into die hands of
thsfeolored men, the few white men ot tho South called "scalawags," and those who emigrated from the North to the South, called " carp jt-baggers." If the politicians of the 8cuth had not with stupid malice re
fused to take oar! in reconsto ruction, the
so-called " carpet-baggers" of the North
would have had out little w no wim it, ana the Statu Governments of the South would
from tho first have been in tbe Bands of the
late rebels, the friends now 01 iiov. Brown. But when they stood afar off, and
did everything in thoir power to oppose, the work of reconstruction had to be done by those Into whose hands it fell, or not be done at all. Doubtless some of tfco so-called " carpet-baggers" were not proper persons were adventurers seeking tneir own for
tunes i but others, and the majority of them
were true emigrants, and would have re
mained in the 8-uth and become her most
valuable mtiKens. as manV of them havo
done anyhow, hd they not been persecuted at every steD hv their rebel enemies, hound
ed on by Northern allies. The new States of the Union havo generally been filled
with eurnfit-har'eers : and oven Gov
Brown is said to hove carpet-bagged from Kentucky to Missouri. Our country be
longs to each citizen ; his rights are not cir
oumscribeii by a State, and tbe howl against
carpet-baggers is acravun cry wnicu ougut
uover to pass tbe lips of an Americas statos man.
That there has been corruption n some
of the Stale Governments of tho South is un
doubtedly true ; it would be strange if there
bad not been, when we consider the cireani
stances under which they sprang into life ; but that it has been grossly and infamously exaggerated lor party purposes is alio true.
The accounts given by Gov. Brown of
taxation in tho South for tho support f their State Governments, and of the debts created by tbeso Governments, are so exaggerated as
to excite n.y profound astonishment. Ho
says theao Governments have increased the debts of the Southern Statoa. and chiefly
during tho present Administration, to the extent of $!!8,00,000. But lest I be accused of misrepresentation, I will quote from his speech in this city the following passage : " Will it to received by you then as evidence of such honeBt purposes to lighten tho burdens of the poople, to learn tha; upon these impoverished communities th re has been inllietsd, without any visible public return, and principally since this Administration was inaugurated, $188,000,000 of debt." And in his speech at Springfield ho charges that thia increase of debt was in every part a theft and robbory by the scoundrels placed in charge of tho Slato Governments, aa ho alleges, by the direct itifluecce and cr nivanco of he Republican party. The whole atatemont of Gov. Brown I lls me with amazomcnt, and I am wholly at a loss
to understand how any gentleman in his position dares to make such declarations. BOW SOUIHEBM DIDTS WgnH COBTRAOTKD. In the first place, tho men having control or the S tatu Governments of the South wero not placed there by the administration
of Goo. Grant or tho Republican party of tho nation, but were elected by the people
01 taesa oiates
In tbe next iiluce he overstates the amount
of i :idebtednes contracted by the eleven Sou .horn States since reconstruction to the extent of $37,000,000. The detailed statem nt embraced in the report of the Ku-JClux Com
mit oe tc tae Canute, page zi4, snows " mcrer ne of debt and all liabilities, contingent and prospective, since the reconstruction.
$131 717,777.81..
in ' be third place Gov, Brown suppresses the
imp Ttar.t and all-controlling fact tbat all oft': in imlebtedr ess, except about $30,040,003. has boon contracted for the purpose of building railroads iu those States. When the; were reconstructed the first great want expe rienced was railroads. The South bad few before the war. Some of them had been dest-oyed during the war, or were utterly out i f repair nnd the companies bankrupt. There wbb bo capital in tho country with
wni n to buiio new railroads, and at men 01
cap al mother Hta.cs would not in vest their moi ey in the iouth during her troubled and unsettled condition, there was no way toiaitia 9 the construction of new roads but y pled ging the credit of the States and raising
1 on. their bonds, this was a dangerous
experiment, as has been shown by the experience of other States, but it was all that could bo dons under the circumstances.
Ns rlv all the bonds embraced in the cor
rect statement of (lie debt were authorized for that purpose ; many of them have never yet been Issued, the conditions upon which they were to be issued and disposed of not bav og oecurr- d. Some of those issued have been improvldontly disposed of, and others waa:ed in frauds . and extravagance, for
whi -h no defense is to be made ; but the smomt of bonds thus lost isvery mall compare 1 with tho whole amount embraced in tbe statement.
THi: EVir. MOT COSFIKEn TO SOUTHXBST STATES. I aid the sys tem was a dangerous one. as
had been liowia by tho experience of other Stat 's Missouri, for example, at the end of thn war, had an old debt of nearly $30,000,-
000, aontrsoUd before the war, for tbe pur
pose ot buildin,; railroads and other internal
mpi-ovoments, tor which she had very little
to show.
Illinois embarked in tbe same system.and
sacrificed, bonds to the amount of near
twei.ty millionn, failed to pay the interest
on them, and fcr a time her credit was pros
trated; tut it has now wholly recovered. Indinna, in 18; 7, took the same course, dispose! of iier bonds to the amount of $11,000,000 nd upw rd, and after the expenditure of all the proceeds, some being stolen, soma squr ndered, and the rest expanded with a
protugecy or without wiadom,she had nothing !o ihiw for it but two pieces of canal, fortv miles of railroad and two or three unfin.shed turnpikes. Ohio suffered largely in
the vame way. Pennsylvania at one time
had a debt ol' $40,000,000 created for like pur oses. a par; of which was p'id by the sale of her public works. Old Virginia today has a debt of more than $53,000,000, whi h it is doubtful wbethor she can ever pay, which was contracted before the war,
e :i th re wan not a Kepubiican within her
bon: irs, nnd for which she has very little to shot?.
But the prospect now is that the Southern
Status will come out better with this experiment than tbo Northean ones did, for some of t ie works have been completed ; others
are : n progress, and in several mates the investment may v et prove to have been wise and statesmanlike. Had Gov. Brown stated that the ;;reat 'jnlk cf his indebtedness was contracted for railroad purposes, it would hav ' des'-royed the force of bis argument and left him with a lame and impotent conclusion. Bad he stated another fact, wbicb he ought to have given to have vindicated
tbe t rut hot iiittory that when those various
railroad bills passed, with scarcely an excepton, they were supported by men of all part es ; that they were in no sense party
measures ; that tne corporations were organized in great part by Democrats, and that of the fra ds actually committed Southern Denioora s, to the manor born, bad their full aha:;) his charges a.ainst the Republican
party would have dwindled to a small sum
of boggarly complaints.
("reword luither upon this subject, and I
ira , ,one. scarcely a railroad has oeen c in
structed in the Southern States since the war
or ir. now in progress of construction, that
was not inaugurated, and ia now in great part being conducted and managed by the muc'i-abused carpet-baggers; and the South to-d iiy owes to them a large part of her progress and. enterprise. Southern abstraction

TB TARirFQtJEBTIOJI.
In his speech in this city. Gov. Brown con
gratulated the country upon the final solu
tion and disposition ot the tana question oy rem Hing it to the people in tbe various Con
gressional Districts, thus taking it out of
ati nal politics and relieving tne country fron. all embarrassment. One would sup
pose from his speech that the tariff for the first tim had been placed within the reach and control ot tho people, by the especial favor nd grace of the coalition. The pretense of te king the question out of national politics and remitting it as a now thing to tbe Con
gressional Districts is a most transparent dodf;e and humbug, and worthy only of the cojtompt of intelligent people. It will deceive nobody. Gov. Brown had for years
beer, an ultra free-trader, and tbe MusouriCinc nnati movement was started upon that basi , bu , afterward, when the coalition was formed o f men of all principles and none for the i'ake of power a id plunder, and Horace Grot ley, a protective tariff man, placedlat its hoaii, it became necessary to strangle the tariff question and huddle it out of sight Thei', astute managers, thought tbey had done this by declaring that tho President should have nothing to do with it, that it should b'l remitted to the Congressional District) to be entirelyoutof the way. Nothing morn clearly establishes the utter diBhopesty of th a coalition, and its supremely mercenary character, thai tha attempted disposition ot the tariff quest ion. UNF'LlRHKtS TOWARD THE BEFUPL1CAST PARTY. Wj look in vain through the speechos of Gov. Brown for a just and fair statoment of the Administration of the Republican party. They contain covert ppeI to tho prejudice 1 and passions of tbe white against the colored race. In them ho presents every act of Congress, every caeasure of tbe Administration for tha protection of life, liberty and jlroperiy in thi tlouth, as as oppression of the white people of those States, as an invasion of thoir rights for the exhaltalion and glory of the negro. Ue pre ents the instincts of anlf-preervatira ia the white and Colored itefublicaus of the South as an aggression upon the rights and dignity of the white Der locrecy, the late rebels. He ignores the exit tonco of the murderous Ku-Klux orginizat on, (heir killings, scourgiugS, bdrnitjs, crinieB without name their exiles, threats unit tnrrnrium thai, destroy tho peace, brtppi-

of rogard for the rights of tho colored people, the speeches might have been made by Wa le Hampton or Gen. Forrest. Ue repre
sents tbe people of the North who have gons to live in the South as carpet-baggers, adventurers and robbers; he employs every exu iteration that can make the State rov-

I Mr. Hendricks, in hii speech at New Al
bany a few evening einffo, had much to say upon the subject ot civil service leform, and manifested a seat all the more notable be-'
cause it is entirely new... During the, tan years that Mr. Hendriek was i rOirreM
h had nothing to say of jfaggeel upon that subject; he was apparently well contentae with' the existing civil service' sy item. Bis' sudden conversion and remarkmb Mtlrriiri-
aam have led him into cumber pf jtata- '3f,
ujcuu 1.UI1.1J 1U uv WAV ue IHIBiBBBnaiBL w
justified. For example, he-tajd-i
" A year ajfolsit March GanjtxMawaaMmpelled to post a law, in 0T$4tAl.,itiMfj Ike public demand, requiring tbe'PiiBeiyeiit to appoint a comrAiuion to i n vestifi to the in s-
ject of frauds. Gen. Grant appoir tad seven
ot nis personal nr.d political friend. That committee veni to work. They had thrne" things; first, was tbore fraud in ihe, public service? secondly, what was thn cause of
that fraud 1 and, , mixaiT. wba remedy?" -
Now, I regret to be compelled to state that in all thia there ia not one word of truth. Cong esa passed no such law and mad no such requirement of the President, and the Civil Service Commisjion made no such investigation, nur had they any authority to, in regard to the Administration of Sen. Grant. Congress did pass a law authoring thn President, in his discretion, to appoint a com mission to examine and make recommendations and advise with him in regard to the subject of civil service. Tbe question they were to consider woe what reforms, if any, could be effected in a syetem which bad been in operation from tbe very hour when the Government was farmed in 1798. The administration of Gen. Grant was not before that Commission for examination any more than the administration of Washington or Jackson. No witnesses were examined, and the whole qneition was as to the theory of civil administration. Mr. Hendricks then read the following extract from tbe report of that Commission : " It is not easy to compute in figures the exact economical differo. ce between good and a bad system of the civil service. Bat it is calculated by those who have made a careful study of the facta, that one-fourth of the revenue of the United Btates ia an. nually lost in the collection, and for a large part of that loss a system of the aervice which is fatally unsound may reasonably be held responsi ble." Mr. Hendricks then ass med, upon the authority of this extract, that SI 00,000,0t'0 of the revenues of the Governmea t are actually squandered and stolen, and dwelt upon this fact st great length, and with extreme indignation. The ex ract was rudely torn from the context, and. the whole re port ahows that it had do more reference to the administration of Gen. Grant than to tnat of Mr. Buchanan or Thomas Jefferson. T complete the evidence of the monstrous perversion,
Mr. Georgo W. Gurtis, tbe author 01 the report, states that the calculation -eferred to in th e extr&c ; was made in a report submitted to Congress duri-g the administration of Andrew Johnson in 1808, at a time when Mr. Hendricks, then in the Senate, vrae one of his chief advisers, and was remarkably well satisfied with tbe civil aervice system. The volume of taxation during Johnson' Administration was more than $200,900100 greater than it ia now, and yet during the last year of Grant's Administration "$85 ,WM000 more were paid into tha trc unry than during the last year of Johnson' 1 administration. While less than $80,0 (,000 of the public debt were discharge eduring the Administration of Mr. Johnson, t liat of Gen. Grant bos paid off in three and a half ycara more than $340,006,000. In every direction the Administration of Gen.Grant ias aooomplished great reforms, saying to the people hundreds of millions of dollars,- and Gen. Grant is the first in the line of Presidents to inaugurate beneficent reforms aid changes in (he system ef civil administration. QREELEr ASS THE AJ)llIllI8TRi.TIO. Gov. Brown, Carl Sehan, Senator Trumbull, Messrs. Hendricks, Voerheea, ef id omnc genu, bring multitudinc ib charges against Gen. Grant and the Republican party on account of the reeone true! ion policy, tbe Ku-Klux Bill, the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in the distorted districts of South Carolina, the prosecution of the Ku-Klux, and the general dealings of the Government with the disturbing elements in the South, the election law, which they designate the " Bayonet Bill," and all that class of legislation intended to protect the purity of the ballot-box and to g ve security to life, liberty and property in the Southern
