The Republican Party and the South.
We make the following extract from a reoent speech delivered at Springfield, Mass., by Congressman Henry L. Dawes: The first complaint that I ask yon to conaider, yon dissatisfied Republicans, is the charge against the Administration that it has not done its duty toward the South, that the condition of things in the Southern States is such to-day that the Republican party ought to be abandoned on account of it. Let us see. Abandoned for what? For the Democratic party, for there is no other. Abandon the Republican party for the Democratic, turn over, the Southern States to the Democratic party, for that is the logic erf vour complaint What is tiie complaint? Is it that the Republican party has withheld power from the white men down South and turned it over to the negroes down there and the car-pet-baggers ? I nave heard that, and that the negroes and carpet-baggers had ran riot with that power and ground down the white people there and wasted their substance. Suppose they have done it for a moment, how came they to do it? Not because the Republican party or any other withheld power from the
white people down South; the difficulty was that the Republican party extended the power, the ballot, down tnere, instead of withholding it. They never took the ballot from a whitelnan down there; every living White man, from the keeper of Andersonville all the way up to Jefferson Davis, had, from the moment they laid down thei* arms at Appomattox Court-House to this hour, the ballot just as much as they ever had. That was not the complaint It was Dot that we took the,4>allot away from them, but because we extended it to others. We made it too large, we gave it to the negroes as well. That is the complaint; wc gave it to the negro who fought the battles of the nation, who was made a citteen as
the result of the war and became entitled by the Constitution to the ballot. The negro had it, that was their complaint, and they won’t—to use the' boys’ phrase —they won’t play if the negro does. The white people of the South stayed away from the polls and let the negroes have it all their own way. The reason was that the negroes, ignorant as they were, would make such a condition of things that it would cause such a reaction here at the North, and that power would be taken away from the negroes and restored to their exclusive exercise, and therefore they stood back and let the negroes and the carpetbaggers have the control of the Government; and whatever of evil, whatever of corruption, whatever waste of the substance of the South has come from that unfortunate and ignorant rule of these negroes, has come from the fact that the white man would not partici-
pate with them in a common government extended over them by the Constitution of tfie United Btates. That is all there is to-day; that is the whole of it. When they fbund that it didn’t react at the North, when they found that the whole extent of it was a few people gathered at Cincinnati, who dropped like a ripe apple into the loving arms of the Democracy before they got home —see what reaction there was—then they undertook to wrest the power from the negroes and the carpetbaggers, and the consequence is the terrible condition of things at the South to-day. It is traced directly back to the whjjje people of .the South, stimulated and encouraged as they were by the hope of the return of the Democracy to power. Why, there are seventeen Confederate officers, to-aay, members of Congress, and on which side do you think they are? Did you ever hear of a Confederate Republican ? That is enough.
Theij, because you are not satisfied with the condition of things down South you propose to deliver over, bound hand and foot, these four millions of colored people to the Democracy, the Confederate officers of the Democracy in Congress assembled. You deliver the lamb over to the wolf, and the dove over to the vulture, as certain as you accomplish the legitimate result of your leaving the Republican party for that cause. Just look at the effect it has upon these men. And when the cry came up this summer from the poor, defenseless colored man of the South that he was being hunted and murdered, and he went to his cabin at night trembling for the morrow, every one of these independent and Democratic journals at the North shouted derision at the cry of these poor men for help. Let me just read what I cut, a week ago, out of an independent journal of the North that had in years past, under another management, fought valiantly for the rights of the humblest and poorest man, though his face was as black as the heart of him who is now hunting his life in midnight masks and with midnight murderous weapons and outrages. The next morning after it was ascertained that the Democratic party had triumphed in Indiana and Ohio this independent journal shouts out: “The Southern-outrage business didn’t pay well in Ohio and Indiana, did it?” That is all the response that can be evoked from the breast of a man who steps out of the Republican party over night to sleep with the Democratic party that claps and applauds it now. When a colored man, a postal-car clerk, is stopped upon the train and murdered in cold blood; when Federal officers in Arkansas are compelled by force to resign their offices upon a pledge that they shall be protected in their lives, and are then brutally murdered, and it is found that the Democratic party has gone so far in this work that even the cry of their blood did not arouse them, the same independent journal yesterday cries out the “ bloody-shirt cry.” Let me read what it said yesterday: “There is a sudden calm in the Southern-outrage business, and the Republican organs are, one after another, giving their whole attention to the third-term business”— trying to turn us off on the third term. The impression seems to be that the third-term project hurt the Republicans a good deal more than the “bloody-shirt” yelling did the Democrats. Do you remember how, fifteen years ago, they cried out “ Bleeding Kansas,” and ridiculed the cry that came up to the ears of the country from the settlers upon the plkins of Kansas, and called it “Bleeding Kansas?” Does not this sound a good deal like it, “bloody-shirt” yell of murdered fellow-citi-zens, clothed by the Constitution with every ri*jht that you and I have ? Let them not attempt to turn us away with their idle talk about the third term; I will tell them where the third-term nonsense came from. It came from their allies down South, from that part of the Democratic party which has come up to the support of the party with all the sins of the rebellion upon its heart and hands. Let me read you from their newspapers what they say about it: “ The first thing Grant’s friends know they will see all the white people in the South advocating him for the third term. There is one thing certain, if it comes to be a question of more nigger or more Grant, the South will jump at the latter. All the dangers of imperialism, Cißsarism, etc., shrink into insignificance compared to the continuation of the unbearable negroism right here among us. We will risk Grant another term if he will give us a rest from the interminably irrepressible negro.” That is the voice of that party in the South without whose help the Democracy of the North is as helpless as a paralytic. That is the party at the South which, with the help of the Democracy of the North, is to choose the next Speak. er of the House of Representatives and make the next Committee upon Southern Claims and Southern Outrages, with seventeen Confederate officers there to make it out of, ready to take Grant for a third term if they thought they could seduce him to their purposes. This was before the little rebellion that was got up in New Orleans the other day. Since they found by that experiment that the line of Buchanans could not be recruited out of Republican ranks, you have heard never a word from that quarter since about third term.
The South Still for Secession
The Southern white people are disloyal to the Union. The pretense that they respect and revere the American flag is a miserable sham. Penn yielded to Federal troops because he dared not oppose force to force. It follows that the sympathy lavished upon Southern White League Democrats by the Northern people, on the theory that they war only upon so-called carpet-bag State governments, is misplaced. The Southern plan is to overthrow the State governments, with a View ultimately to overthrow the Union. To regard the Southern situation from any other standpoint is to be gulled by a fatal delusion. And why did the South wish in 1861 to destroy the Union? Merely because the Union would not extend the institution of slavery into new territory! The cause Of disloyalty at the South is now, as it was in 1861, the desire to establish the doctrine of property in man. Southern White League Democrats hate the Amer-
ican flag because it means equal rights to black and white alike, because it means freedom of speech and politicaaction. Every White League organizal tion at the South is therefore a concerted movement not merely to elevate Democrats to power in a State, but -to haul down the flag of the stars and stripes and to raise in its place the flag of the stars and bars, and that flag means slavery. Slavery was the corner-stone of the rebel Confederacy, and it is to a restoration of the institution of slavery that the efforts of the Southern Democracy are all directed to-day as much as they were directed to its extension during the period from 1850 to 1865. Southern Democratic journals do not hesitate to declare that nothing but the weakness of the South as compared with the strength of the North prevents a new secession movement, witness the following from the New Iberia (La.) Sugarbowl:
It is high time the South should be plain and honest in her language toward toe North, and cease this silly twaddle about Northern sentiment. We mast work out our own salvation, and depend no longer upon the broken reed of Northern friendship. **•* * * - * The South has the same moral right to force her peculiar views upon the North as the latter has to force hers upon us. The only difference is, the North is strong and the South is weak; but that is no reason why we should not think as we please and say what we think. The whole question is purely one of interest; and if we think the South would belter herself by another secession, let us then fearlessly advocate it. There are, however, other objects of higher importance and more easily obtained at present, and for these we should Contend with all our might. We believe, nevertheless, that before another decade the two great sections of the Union will be quietly and contentedly mating history for themselves under separate governments. The “other objects more easily obtained at present” are the possession of State governments; the grand ultimate object is the re-establishment of the Confederacy, based on African slavery.— Chicago Inter-Ocean. t
Official Integrity.
In looking over the new platforms of Democratic State Conventions the critic will be surprised to find in each of them the same old charge of official defalcations under Republican administrations. 4 After investigations were demanded and granted on the charges made against the War and the Navy Departments with the most satisfactory results, and after a thorough examination of the books, records, printing bureau, and money vaults of the United States Treasury and sub-treasuries without discovering the loss of a dollar that had not already been officially reported and published to the world, the “ancient” Democracy must be hard pushed to find charges against the party in power before they would renew the exploded theme of official defalcations and malfeasance. These committees of investigation were appointed by Congress and were composed of Democratic and Republican members, who were offered every possible facility in the prosecution of their investigations. On the committee investigating the Treasury Department were two prominent bankers, who were supposed to lean strongly toward the Democratic side of the House. Yet they found not even a minor “ irregularity” that had not already been reported, and the defaulters arrested, tried, convicted and punished. An official report of losses to the Government by defalcations of officials was made by Mr. Richardson, late Secretary of the Treasury, assisted by the Commissioners of Internal Revenue and Customs, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the United States Treasurer, each basing his report on the records and books of his bureau. The result is as follows:
From the statement of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, comparing total receipts of the office for the three years from March 3, 1869, to March 3, 1872, with the portion of the receipts that had not then been paid into the Treasury, as per schedule furnished, it appeared that the cash balances outstanding against late Collectors of Internal Revenue during that period amounted to somewhat less than one-tenth of 1 per per cent, of the amount paffl into the Treasury. The Commissioner added, and the books of the office sh ow that his statement has been very nearly verified, that “ of the latter amount it is estimated that not less than four-fifths will eventually be paid either by the parties themselves or by their sureties, reducing the ultimate loss to the Government, during the period mentioned, to less than onefiftieth of 1 per cent., or less than $2 in $10,000.” According to the statement from the books and records of the Commissioner of Customs, showing the amount of money collected from .customs for the period of two years and three-fourths of a year, from the Ist of April, 1869, to the 31st of December, 1871, compared with the balances outstanding against officers engaged in the collection of customs during the period mentioned, the latter is about one-fifty-fifth part of 1 per cent, of the former. The estimated ultimate loss to the Government was one-two-hundredth part of 1 per cent., or less than $5 in SIOO,OOO.
The Comptroller of the Currency fur nished a schedule of all the national banks that had failed during the three years from June 1, 1869, to June 1, 1872* with their capital, the amount of claims proved and the dividends paid on the claims; from which it appears that the estimated average annual losses of these years were from $21,700 to $40,100, of which the mean is $30,900. This, based on a constant average amount of deposits of $574,300,000, shows the ratio of annual loss to creditors to be the 1-IB6th part of 1 per cent, of such deposits, equivalent to $5.37$ in SIOO,OOO. The United States Treasurer, Gen. Spinner, furnishes a statement showing the total amount of money entries as they appear on the books in his office, covering a period of eleven and one-half years, from June 30, 1861 to Jan. 9, 1872, to be $55,104,232,282.84. The loss during these eleven years was $55,057.45, or less than one dollar to each million of dollars that passed through the hands of the Treasurer and his subordinates. These statements will be accepted, we think, by all reasonable minds as conclusive on the subject of defalcations. Since the dates included in each division of the report no defalcation has occurred, to the amount of a dollar, in the United States Treasury; and none in the bureaus of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue or of the Collector of Customs of any importance. Irregularities in the receipts and some few losses have grown out of the paralysis in business following the panic of September last; but these will, in nearly every case, be made good. The very met that the internal revenue receipts for the last fiscal year exceeded the estimates of the Commissioner by about ten million dollars goes far to establish the- integrity and fidelity of all connected with that department of the Government.
Compared with transactions in private business these results show fewer losses than are met with in the best regulated and most cautious corporate bodies engaged in railroad, manufacturing, or other enterprises, or among business firms who scrupulously superintend their own mercantile affairs. Altogether the six-and-a-half years of President Granfs Administration that have already passed into history have carried with them a record of official integrity which mav well command the admiration of the'forty- two millions of people who mainly furnish the annual revenues.— Republic Magazine.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
To Make Pepter Vinegar.—Take six laige red peppers, slit them up, and boil them in three pints of strong vinegar down to one quart. Strain it, and bottle for use. It will keep for years. Lkmoh Pie.— Three eggs (save the whites of two), juice and peel of one lemon, one cup of boiling water, one tablespoonful of com floor, one cup of sugar. Bake- Grate the lemon and pour the boiling water over the juice and peel; beat the eggs with'the cornflour and add to the boiling water; let it cool before adding the sugar. Beat the whites of the two eggs with one tablespoonful of sugar, and spread over the top of the pie. Have the under crust of pastry. Savoky Mutton on Veal Cutlets. — Cat up the chops and beat them with the edge of a knife. Beat the yolks of a few eggs and dip the cutlets in them; season them with pepper, salt, nutmeg and bread crumbs. Roll them in battered crumbs and broil them. Use for sauce some good gravy, a piece of butter, crumbs of bread, capers, anchovies, with some nutmeg and a little vinegar. As soon as they are dressed, tear off the papers and set them on the dish with the sauce.— Cor. Germantown Telegraph. Oyster Soup.— Take three quarts of oysters and strain the liquor from them. Put the liquor on to boil with half a pint of chopped celery, one onion, two or three blades of mace, pepper and salt. When it boils, add the oysters. Just before taking it off the thickening must be added, vie.: One spoonful of flour creamed into the well-beaten yolks of three eggs. Pour a little of the hot soup gradually upon the eggs and flour, stirring all the while, and as soon as well mixed with a little cream pour into the soup. Then add one quart of rich, unskimmed milk; let all come to a boil, and pour into a tureen over some small squares of cold bread. Serve it very hot. — Hooper'B Bazar. Water-Proop Boots.— A correspondent of the Indiana Farmer says: “I have stood in mud and water two or three inches deep for ten hours a day for a week without feeling any dampness or having any difficulty in getting my boots on or off. If you would be equally successful, before wearing the boots give the bottoms a good coating of tallow and coal tar and dry it in; then oil the uppers with castor oil, about one tablespoonful to each boot; then oil them twice a week with castor oil,when one teaspoonful will be sufficient. If the weather should be rainy, or you are compelled to work in water during the day, wash your boots clean at night, hold them by the fire until quite warm, and oil them while wet, and youwill have no trouble about your boots getting hard and shrinking up so that you cannot get them on. If the leather should become red, give a coat of ordinary shoe-blacking before oiling. The effect of castor oil is to soften the leather, while it fills the pores and prevents the water from entering.
How the White Leaguers Work.
The Alabama State Journal copies from the Greensboro Beacon , a Democratic sheet published in this State, the following card, of which it gives a suggestive history: A CARD. I have heretofore belonged to the National Republican party. I never belonged to a secret league of any kind. I never intend to have any more to do with politics. I feel and know that I am a “ white man,” and for the future I intend to live and die a “white man.” I try to stay at home and attend to my own business. P. W. K. Stringfellow. Hale County, Sept. 36,1874. Mr. Stringfellow lives about nine miles from Greensborough, has been a Republican leader, bold in the expression of his views, and while the Ku-Klux were so busy a year ago suffered numerous outrages at their hands, being obliged to hide continually. He taught a school of negroes, and for this offense his schoolhouse was burned. Recently the White Leaguers began to give him a repetition of his experience with the Ku-Klux. On the night of the 17th ult. he was visited by about fifteen of the outlaws. They reached his house about midnight. While the rest of the party concealed themselves in the vicinity one of them went to the door and, calling Stringfellow from his bed, got him, under the pretext that his aid was needed by a distressed traveler, out of the house and into the ambuscade. Stringfellow went out, accompanied by his colored boy. On going about 100 yards from the house Stringfellow found himself surrounded by armed men, who, after abusing and threatening him to the top of their bent, compelled him to pledge himself to publish and to post by the roadside his renunciation of the Republican party, and to do various other things. Promising that if he violated his pledge they would return in three days and kill him, the party rode off. Such, the State Journal says, is the history of the above card, for the withholding of which it {jives the Beacon a deserved rebuke. This is but one specimen of the manner in which the “white man’s party” of the South seeks to suppress the honest expression of opinion, and by a reign of terror to compel victory for the Bourbons.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of. the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause oftha unparalleled success of Vinegar-Bit-ters?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the ‘history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease mau is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver ana Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Db. Walker’s Vinbgab Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilions. r. h.
