IT seems that the regular Republican ticket was elected in Pittsburg by about 1,000 majority, while the Republican candidate for Mayor was beaten by an "Independant," because of local prejudices.
THE Joneiboro "Gazette," Atlanta "Sun" and Columbus "Democrat" are added to the list of "endorsers" of Mr. VOORHEEB' callfor a special convention. Why are the big organs silent "just at this juncture?"
THE Comptroller of the Currency makes a point against the special redemp tion system which is not easy to answer. It is that both in America and England whenever a doubt of credit incites the holders of currency to demand specie, the banks find it neccesaary to suspend and that, in consequence, redemption is a myth, successful only when it is not needed, and failing disastrously whenever tried.
THE delicate irony of this squib, froip the "Journal," will be intensely relished by those who understand the situation:
Our Democratic friends must keep a stiff upper lip, and not get demoralized. Have we not the assurance of Col. Alvord and "many prominent Democrats in the State," including one in this section, that it is best to play the 'possum policy this winter, and come out fresh and bold next spring or summer for a State Convention? Why should the Democratic heart weaken and our lough sinews soften under such cheering circumstances!
Why should they, indeed? What could be more cheering to the weary heart and shaking frame of Democracy than the prospect of that sweet rest which the placid 'possum policy promises? Who knows what triumphs may await the parly when it shall again emerge, recuperated by six months of beatific thumbsucking? May it not go forth conquering and to conquer, terrible as an army with banners? To be sure, the 'possum is not the noblest specimen of the animal creation, and there are those ylio might prefer to emulate the courage of the lion but for the Democracy to attempt that role now would be an exhibition of foolish indis cretion. The feeble old man, bowed down with the accumulated infirmities of vicious and profligate life, may have all the courage of mature manhood, but he lacks the strength and vigor to make that courage available. Thus it is with De tuocracy, and since it cannot play the role leonine, it should gladly take the humbler and safer part of the peaceful 'possum
Mr. Boutwell on Labor. Mr. Boutwell's views on the labor question, while not at all conservative, reflect we believe, the sentiments of a vast majority of the people of the country—those who labor with hand as well as head. Plis discussion of the subject comes at an opportune moment. The relations of the Wo great elements, which, it is assumed are continually warring upon each other deeply concern public prosperity, and the dissemination of such impartial opinions and wise statements as those of the gentleman named is calculated to be of immense and lasting benefit to all classes
The chief and most fatal mistake of the labor organizations, and .those who are BO loudmouthed in their advocacy, is that all wealth is combined against them, as if their wealth were not the greatest of all. From this position they naturally ar gue that in the strife they are at adisad' vantage, and that the only way in which to bring about a more equitable adjustment is by violence and revolution. But mark their consistency! From organizing against their own employers they have taken to organizing against their own children. They denounce the monopoly of money, and yet they create a still greater monopoly of skilled labor by de nying all chance to the youth of the country to acquire trades. As Mr. Bout well says, has not a youth aright to be a stonemason, a bricklayer, or a shoemak er. without the inquiry or consent of any one? Thq workingman has an opportunity to become an employer, but the boy none to become a workman.
Mr. Boutwell suggests that it is the in tercst of the workingmen to build up and not destroy but what is the effect of the policy we refer to above? The discrimination against the youth of the country we hold to be the greatest oppression la bor is subject to, for is not this element the one out of which our future skilled mechanics are to come—labor in the rough, wating to be polished and no pol ish.
The wages question is solved by Mr. Boutwell, as by all other rational think era, by the principal of co-operation, but the system is by no means the oppressive one many wild theorists would have us believe. Under ordinarily prosperous conditions, the reward of industry through it is sufficient to secure plenty and comfort to all. It is so now in this country, generally speaking, and would he universal were it not for the artificial stimulus given certain mechanical callings to the disadvantage of unskilled ones. The suggestion of the Secretary, that the only means by which the laboring people can hope to escape from the condition of laborers receiving wages, is education in its broadest sense, is well timed and should be given attention.
Such education—and it appears no other moral force can—will convince the mechanics, who are bearing the brunt of the fight, that their interests are no higher than those of the rest of mankind or of civilization that manual toil is not the only form of productive labor, or stocks ami bonds the only representatives of wealth. They will learn by it that in limiting the number of skilled laborers they are narrowing the field of industry, and waging precisely the same futile war in another generation and form that their grandfathers did against the inventions which have supplied the motive power of the nineteenth century and best of all their realizations will be that labor is not a class, but the mass of mankind.— Phil. Prexx.

Oh. love. I am tired, tired: Come hold my bead on thy breast, And smooth with thy soft cool finger*,
My brow, till I sink into rest. I have been bruised and jostled By the rou«h world all d»y long— Now talk to me softly, darling.
And sins me some sweet little song.
Oh, yes, I am weary, weary Of the bustle and noise of life I have longed all day for the evening.
And the touch of thy hands, my wife. There is nothing so much like heaven As these moments with theo, my own. While the rough old world jogs onward.
And we two are sitting alone.
I can battle all day with trouble, I can jostle and jar with the world-— For I know when the twilight curtains
Drop over, the day-banner's furled That nere in my home, my heaven, An angel is waiting for me— And they follow me, love, like spirits,
These moments I spend with thee.
FOB OTHERS' SAKE.
'Tis happiness to love our work For its own sake, And could we always, none would shirk.
Or dread to wake.
But life is long, and we may cea?o To love our tasks 'Illusions pass, the sober days
Throw ofi^heir masks.
They front us with averted eyes And faded bloom The spirit quails and almost dies
Before their gloom.
Ah then we learn work has no woith For its own sake. And sordid are all tasks of earth
Tili love partake.
For truly only love our lives Can worthy make. And he is happiest who most strives
For others' sake.

The Various Theories by which The Men who Worked Up The Arrest of the Negroes Show Them to be Innocent.
Special Correspondence Indianapolis Journal, JEFFERSONYILLE, IND., December 6. From what I had heard of Henryville I expected to find it a place containing few old, dilapidated houses, every other one of which would be a whisky shop, situated in the midst of a bushy, briery knobby country, whose inhabitants would be chiefly characterized by wamuses, coon-skin caps, butter-nut breeches, loud swearing, and an ignorance of the alpha bet. In this expectation, I am happy to say, I was greatly disappointed.
Henryville is in most respects about equal to other Hoosier villages of its size, having many good buildings, and a num ber of moral, intelligent and iine-looking people, while ils surroundings though not very fertile, are well improved, exhibit ing a number of line farms.
The terrible crimes which have lately occurred in Clark county had not their origin in Henryville, but in a rural neighborhood lying about midway be tween that town and Charlestown, and it is now beginning to be clearly manifest that that neighborhood will have to give some explanation cf the massacre of the Park family besides that whteh was fur nished in the arrest and punishment of the negroes. Before commg near that Neighborhood I had heard something of
A PERSONAL FEUD
which exists between certain of its citi zens, but I confess that until I saw some of those citizens and talked with them had but a very imperfect idea of the extreme bitterness of the trouble. To be laconic and common-place, it beats all and to be well understood, although may incur some risk thereby, I shall be explicit. Truth, justice, the interests of society and the good name of the State demand that whatever is known, as tend ing to a full development of all the mys' teries connected with the butchery of the Parks, shall be told regardless of personal results. The feud of which I speak is one oT very old standing, and of that peculiar nature which intensifies with age.
Several years, ago Matthew Cleg and a man named Patterson had a difficulty growing out of a law suit which involved the title to a piece of land claimed by each of the parties. This difficulty grew worse and worse, resulting in a number of altercations, in which, if 1 mistake not, a resort to arms was often had. Finally Patterson transferred his claim to a man named Pral, t© whom it seems the quarrel was likewise transferred. At any rate he and Cleg were soon pitted in hostile en mity against each other, and have so continued to the present day. Acrimonious disputes and vexatious law suits culmin atea in a mortal ratred between them. I am told that each of them goes constantly armed that when they pass near each other each keeps his hand on his pistol, determined that the other shall not have the slightest advantage that they have often exchanged shots that one of them was not long since shot at while going home at the hour of midnight, by some person in ambush, and that he believes that person to be the old enemy. Now I know nothing about the merits of this chronic unpleasantness, neither am I at all anxious to know, but there are those who, if they have one moral conviction that supersedes all others, it is that the key to the trueexplanation to the recent horrors in Clark county is to be found somewhere in that unpleasantness and this conviction is based upon the fact that each of the men involved in the trouble has now his own way of proving that the men who were lynched for the crime were innocent.
THE WAY IT IS WORKING.
The other day, stopping at Henryville to go out to the" Parke residence, I met Mr. Cleg, and upon being introduced to him. found that he was quite indignant at an editorial attack which, doubtless, through the instrumentality of some of his enemies, had been made upon him in the columns of the Cincinnati "Times and Chronicle," an article strongly insinuating that he was in some way connected with the Park massacre. I also Tou nd that he was procuring signers to a paper the main point in which was a statement to-the effect that the citizens of that vicinity did not believe that he was guilty of any participancy in the murder Up to that juncture I had heard 6f Mr. Cleg rarely in other than the most praiseworthy terms. I had heard him particularly commended for his efficiency in bringing criminals (b justice for the high public spirit he had always exhibited in prosecuting felons without pay when he might have made money by defending
them (Mr. Cleg is a lawyer) for his unflagging energy and activity in everything designed to promote the peace and prosperity of his neighborhood. I had heard him particularly spoken of 1y every one who pretended to any knowledge of the matter as having been, above all others, the most active in procqfing the arrest of the negroes. And I have as yet come to the knowledge of nothing that should deprive him of the honors thus ascribed to him.
Imagine, therefore, my surprise at finding him on the occasion of my first meeting w^th him, making an effort to clear himself of the very charge the fixing of which upon the negroes was chiefly attributed to him.
But imagine my greater surprise when he took me to one side and, with perfect sincerity stamped upon every liniament of his countenance, told me: "I have a theory to show that the! "NEGROES ARE INNOCENT."
For-a moment I stood speechless. How could I stand otherwise. Nothing could have been more unexpected—nothing more completely dumbfounding. I had all the time the impression that Mr. Cleg was warmly opposed to the lynching that with all his anxiety to have the accused convicted, he wanted them legally convicted. But I was as little prepared to hear him admit their innocence as I was to receivc a visit from the world of shades. After recovering myself I said: "Is that possible, Mr. Cleg?!' "Yes. sir not only possible, but true." "Will you then be eo kind as to give me your theory?"
MR. CLEG'S TI1KORY.
Mr. Cleg then proceeded to tell me that some time ago there was a vigilance committee in his neighborhod that certain bad men enemies of his, were, at the head of that committee that Mr. Park was also a member of it, having joined it under the impression that it-was organized as a defence against strolling theives and house breakers, of whom there were formerly many in that region that on one occasion these bad men proposed at a meeting of this committee to dispose of a certain other man in the following manner: One of them was to go before the justice of the peace and sue out a peace warrant for that man, and while the constable should be taking him from his house to the justice's office, the committee, properly masked and stationed at a certain point ou the road, would take that man from the constable and hang him. To this proposition Mr. Cleg said that Mr. Park was radically opposed, exhibiting the highest indignation and threatening to expose the plot but that, nevertheless, it was attempted to be carried out that the peace warrant was procured that the justice did send for that man that having by accident discovered the scheme, and refused to be taken by the constable, and of his own free will and accord went to the office of the justice, riding booted and spurred and pistol in hand right through the vigilance committee and scattering it like mist before the wind.
Mr. Cleg said that from that time for ward Mr. Park-was in very bad odor with that Vigilance Committee, they living in constant fear of being brought to justice by him for the foregoing and other crimes and that it was highly probable that they would be more interested than anybody else in putting the Park family out of the way.
Mr. Cleg then proceeded to narrate in detail the manner in which Johnson's confession was obtained, he having been present when it was extorted, showing more conclusively than any man with whom I talked on the subject, that there was no truth in that confession. He also took up all the circumstantial evidence, such as the tracks discovered around the Park residence, and the coat found in Taylor's house, and demonstrated with the most perfect clearness the impossibil ity of the murder having been committed by the negroes, and the palpable fact that the killing of the Parks was not a work of pi under, but a work of revenge. That Mr. Cleg is an honest man, I do not permit my* self to doubt. That he is deserving of all praise, after he had been among the first to cause the arrest of Taylor, Johnson and Davis, for using his utmost endeavors to procure for them a fair trial, and to shield them from mob violence is a mat* ter of history. It may be that he thought a thorough investigation of the charge against the negroes would lead to the demonstration of his\heory.
But at the same time there are other theories afloat. It is evident that the Clark county man who furnished the matter for that article in the "TimesChronicle" had a theory. I am told that Captain Cole, another man who was prominent in the arrest of the negroes, has a theory. I met several men in Charlestown who had theories. I met several men in Jefifersonville who had theories. All of these theories make
THE GUILTY UNPUNISHED.
And, now I say to these gentlemen, one and all, what the whole law abiding world will echo back, develop your theories. The truth wHl doubtless, be found in some of them. Nearly a whole family of white people has been slaughtered in your midst. Three black men whom your owji admissions make innocent, have been hung and roasted in your midst. Civilization staggers, and humanity stands aghast at those unparalleled horrors befors which even the devils of Hell lale their infernal lights. What has ee& done cannot be recalled. The noble, self-sacrificing Park, with his wife and child, is dead. The poor, ignorant, unfriended negroes are dead. But truth is not dead! Justice is not dead! though she sleepeth. The honor of your country, the honor of the State, and the honor of the nation imperatively demand that you put your theories to test. While you can not restore to life the innocent dead while you can not, with all your efforts, undo that which a frenzied mob has done, you can show a disposition to set your houses in order and restore the majesty of the law. On with your theories, gentlemen.
THE Attica, Indiana, Ledger believes in pointing its obituary notices with a moral, as the following-extract wituesses: 'Mrs. Lamb, wife of Patrick Lamb, died in this place on Sunday evening, in destitution and misery, aggravated by the drunkenness of her husband. Patrick Lamb, is a middle-aged, healthy, intelligent Irishman, a tailor by trade, and a good one, capable of earning a good living and happy home for his really worthy family. Instead of this, through a love of whisky, he lets the wife of his youth die in squalid want and wretchedness while he revels in drunken orgies that would disgrace a beast. It seems very strange to us that the law, which is so innocently supposed to be for the protec tion of the weak and helpless, can not lay hold on such men as Lamb with a grip that would make them howl."*
