A LO^T BATTLE CR Y.

Wo refer to "Nigger Social Equalitj'." We thought it had gone down in a flood which recently engulfed the land, but the Journal, with heroism equal to that of Navarre's white-plumed King in the old Huguenot wars, souncs it anew as the rallying cry of the simon pure, bomb-proof and iinadultor.ited Democracy.

Happy memories cluster Around th.it Battle Cry. It carries us back to those better days when Democrats owned, larruped at will, and sold nine-tenths of the Niggors in the land.

It carries us back to the days when amalgamation was a colossal inct, and none but true Democratic blood went to bleach Ham's accursed descendants. O that bleaching was pure and good

It carries us back to the times when cliivalrie Southerners! could beat and bruise at will the leader of New England Abolitionism.

It carries us back to the days when dreamy-eyed Democratic maidens, with voices like the nightingale and cadence sweet and sad as the sighing winds of autumn, uttered that wild, almost hopeless, entreaty: "Fathers, save us from Nigger Husbands

It carries us back to the time when Democratic orators could annihilate their Abolition opponents by that allconvincing and unanswerable conundrum, "Do you consider yourself no better than a Nigger?"

It carries us back to that blessed day when th(^Supreme Court of the nation decldeif ihat the Nigger was ft chattel, and that ho had "no rights which a white man was bound to respect."

It carries us back to that glorious era when tho law made it the duty of every white man in the North to turn out and help to rim down fugitive Niggers if called on to do so.

Those were glorious days! 1 The Journal does well to refit 111 to first principles. Let us recount the perils which confront us:

Wo are in danger of seeing Nigger children better educated than our own. If they are smarter than ours they certainly will be, unless the spirit ot the old Democracy is invoked.

Wo may find our daughters at any hour in tho arms ot "big buck Niggcrs." Thero is actually no law whatever to prevent such a dire consummation.

Niggers have gained tho ballot and got into our schools, and now wo can look for them to ask admission to our churches. Tho idea of a meek and lowly Christian being compelled to sit in th« same room with a Nigger during divine servico! 1

We are Ukely to have Nigger lawyers, teachers, and doctor*, and all sorts of educated blacks.

We are likely also to havo digger millionaires. A tyrannical and oppressive Radical party has broken dowu all safeguards, and there is nothing to prevent Niggers from getting just as rich as white men.

After they get rich they will rido in fine carriages and live in palaces. They will invite us to their houses and we will be compiled to dine and hob-nob with thos* degraded people. Then in turn we will have to Invite them to our houses, and so by degrees all social barriers will be broken down and the Caucasian will play ont.

Our worthiest prophet has said that no Nigger has ever carved a statue, patented a sausage grinder, or written an epic poem. What security have we now that countless millions of Niggers may not carve statues, invent sausage grinders and write epic poems at any honr

Well may the Jtmrita' ho alarmed. Well may it express the hope that the editor ol the M.wt, may "live to be as "old as Mothusaleh," and then not breathe long enough to see s^ch dire conscxjuettces of Radicalism.

Tux I*iU»bur»j iW touuiins an editorial proposing a sixteenth amendment to the constitution, which will render citlsens of foreiprn birth eligible to the Presidency, and give Carl Schurx even chance with Fred Douglas. The same amendment sfiould increase the Presidential term to six yearn, and make Iwnmbent* ineligible to re-elec-tion.

THE INTERNA T10NAL SOCIETY. It is said that the conference between William of Prussia and Frauds Joseph of Austria, at Salzburg, referred more particularly to the suppression of the International Society than to any other topic. It seems to be now the design of Bismarck to throttle this organization which his shrewd perceptions tell him is the most dangerous enemy of kingly power in Europe. The International is the colossal giant, invisible but potent, which will prep, re the peoples of the Old World ior freedom. Its head is in London its heart in Paris, and its arteries bind in universal brotherhood ovcrv city and town and hamlet of Central and Western Europe. It is the formidable protest of tho common people against the continuance of oppressions old as the history of the human race. In it can be seen the first roseate streaks indicating the dawn of Peaceand Man's Diseuthrallrnent. In England it is backed by every trades union in the Kingdom, and is more powerful to-day, it it choose to show its strength, than the Throne, Ministry, Lords and Commons in France it is the Commune allied with tho labor organizations and all the friends of tho Republic in Switzerland it has enrolled all the toilers, and in Germany, Austria and Italy it is already reckoned by Emperors and Kings as the most formidable enemy of their prerogatives.

The objects ot the International Society are set forth as follows: 1st. To unite in one body the producers of all countries, and to secure to all workers the full results of tlieir toil. 'id. To overthrow the present vicious systems of land, money, and industrial and civil economy, which create wars, unjustly and unequally distribute wealth, foster idleness and

crime,

pervert Justice, and esiab-

)i.-li invidious distinctions amongst mankind." Dr. Karl Marx, the President of the Order, has put it in another form, towit:

Tlie International is not properly a government for the working class at all. It is a lxnd of union rather than a controlling force, and its object is the economical emancipation of the 'working class by tlie conquest of political power,and the use of that political power to the attainment or social ends. It is necessary that our alius should be thus comprehensive to include every form of working-class activity, 'lo have made them of a special character would have been to adapt them to the noeds of one section—one nation of workmen alone. But how could all men be tusked to unite to further the objecis of a few. To have done that the association must have forfeited Its title of International. The association does not dictate the lorm of political move "Wients it only requires a pledge as to their end. It IS a net-work of affiliated societies sdreading all over the world of labor. In each part of the world some special aspect of the problem presents Itself, aud the workmen there address themselves to its consideration in their own way. Gombinationsaniong workmen cannot beauteolutely identical in detail in Newcastle and In Barcelona. in London and in Berlin. Insurrection would be madiu ss where peaceful ngltation would more swiftly and surely do the wark. Iu France a hundrid laws of repression aud a mortal antagonism beiween classes seem to necessitate the violent solution of social war. The choice of that solution is tlie affair of the working classes of that country. The International does not presume to dictate in the matter and hardly to advise."

The existence of this immense association throughout the humble classes of Europe will finally, and possibly"at an early day, put a stop to the terrible wars which ambitious rulers are continually planning and bringing on for selfish purposes. The people know that they aro now puppets in tho hands of thoso aristocratic mountebanks, but they must needs dance at their command, because they havo not had the means of turning upon them. This great union will furnish the means. Ilismarck sees it and thinks ho can crush it. If he can, then his empire is absolute. We wait patiently for the trial, and are confident that the struggle will end with Bismarck down and the people uppermost.

It would seem that Providence never permits tho elevation of a people without their own effort. Unsought blessings come not. When enfranchisement comes to tho toilers o( the Old World it will be the result of their own labor. This International Society is the mighty lever which will yet lift tho burden ot tyranny from the backs of tho people. The hour of their deliverance draws nigh. Speed the (lay 1

Sr. Locis has recently made an experiment looking to the supply of her citizens with Texas beef. Eighteen beeves recently slaughtered at Chetopa, iu the Indian Territory, were transported in refrigerating cars to that market, and found to be as fresh and good as at the hour of starting. The transit took some three or four days, but, with lines fully opened, two days would have sufficed. When this interest develops furthei, the live-stock trado will probably undergo revolution, and the barbarity of hauling cattle packed solid in cars, over a thousand miles to market, will cease. The economy of sending meat instead of live stock is a very important item, and the supply at given points can always be regulated by telegraph.

ONK of the most remarkable agricultural and mechanical exhibitions of th» times is now in progress near XashvUle, Tenn. It is the first anmml fitfr of the colored men of Mid(B« Tennessee, and is managed entirelyby Mncks. The display of plants, shrubbery, frails, paint ings, and textile fabrics is in every way creditable, while the exhibition of live stock attracts great attention on account of its excellence and variety. As showing the progress which the freedmen are making in that State, the exhibition is full of Interest.

A MATTKK of fact agent of the Associated Press in Chicago informed tlie country on Wednesday that« dispatch had been received from Omaha to tiki effect that General Sheridan was iifthat city with his Attends rottir ft-r Fort McPherson and a buffalo hunt, and the cauticua reporter adds that this "can r*% be tw the Lieutenant Gen* "oral to now is this city, and has been for sevwral days."

THE platform of the Republicans of California had this plank: "We approve and recommend a comnaonschool system that shall not only extend its benefits to all, but be compulsory upon all." This is a pet project with a class of educational zealots in the country. The argument is this: Education is essential to the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the State hence Education should be made compulsory. This sounds very well, but the advocates of compulsory education forget that their scheme warrants impertinent interfence with the private atfairs of citizens. It the State can insist upon compulsory education it can also insist upon compulsory cleanliness, compulsory politeness, and compulsory orthodox morality. It is very emphatically the duty of the State to1 furnish ample opportunity for education to every child within its borders, and there its accountability ends. The State must encourage decency and morality and intelligence, but it cannot punish the absence of either of these unless the absence partakes of the nature of crime or misdemeanor. We have too many moral and restraining laws now which do injury to ttje cause of reform because they cannot be enforced. Witness the Sunday laws. Our legislators can best afford to trust the people. The morality and decency we have _are not the result of statutory law, but the outgrowth of man's untrammeled nature seeking that which is better and nobler.

A FEW weeks ago the MAIL, in a self-sat-isfactory aud characteristic way, stated that the new telegraph line wasabout completed to this city and as a consequence the infamous "monopoly" of the morning papers in the way of news dispatches would thereby be broken up. We supposed at that time that the paper now requiring six days to get itself Defore the public would immediately purchase news reports over the newtelegraph line, and by paying out its money convince the people that It was ready to aid in throttling the fearful "monopoly" referred to. So far the MAIL has not come up to our expectations. It still uses the reports ot the "monopoly," otherwise known as the Western Associated Press, aud its strictures on the subject of telegrams have ceased altogether. In fuott ou thut, subject, the MAIL Is as limp as any other dish rug I—Journal.

The announcement in the MAIL that the monopoly of news dispatches owned by tho morning papers was destroyed, upon the completion of the new telegraph line, was strictly true. Any newspaper can now procure the dispatches of the American Press Association in this city by paying for them. Tho very large circulation of the MAIL makes it necessary for us to put our second editon to press at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The afternoon dispatches of the Western Associated Press and of the American Press Association received boforo one o'clock are almost valueless, hence wo do not attempt to publish the news of the latter.

Tho Journal soems to be in a venomous mood. If there is any other information concerning the MAIL establishment which we can give it wo will do so with pleasure, hoping to soothe it back to decent humor,

THE' new constitution of Nebraska has been defeated by the people. The independent propositions submitted first, making bank stock holders liable for three times the amount of their stock the second, giving counties the right of prohibiting or licensing the sale ot spirituous liquors the third, prohibiting county oi- municipal aid to railroads the fourth, compulsory education and the filth, Woman Suffrage, were all voted down by overwhfelming majorities, Woman Suffrage faring the worst of all. So mote it be. Woman Suffrage will be stronger in Nebraska next year than it is now. It never loses friends, but constantly gains adherents. It has vastly more strength in every State of the Union to-day than Negro Suffrage had five years ago. We doubt not that at tho end of the next five years the right of women to vote will bo guaranteed by the Rame constitution that accords the ballbt to the blSfck man.

THKHE is a body of Germans in Iowa who have what they call an Ammish Church. In order to prove its dignity and importance as an ecclesiastical institution, it must needs havo a quarrel and a division. The conservative members persist in fastening their clothes with hooks and eyes, after an ancient and revered custom of the church, while certain rebellious younglings have had the audacity to put buttons on their garments. So great has been tho discord on this account that the heretical button-men have seceded and built a church of their own, from which they keep up a continued warfare upon tho old fogies of the hook-and-eyo faction.

GKBMANY will be placed on a peace footing immediately, and reduce the effective strength of its army to 400,000 men. No wonder that tho wages of laborers are lower in the Fatherland than in any other portion of Christendom. The taxation necessary to maintain thin vast force must grind the people severely. But this is not the worst. The colossal army of Germany is a perpetual menace to the peace of Europe. It will last, however, until the International Society Is strong enough to grasp the throat of royalty and throttle those leaders who, Ut gratify their own selfish ambition, stand ready to deluge the land with blood.

GKOBOK C. IIARDIXO, who is a somewhat noted wit, never made a better or sharper hit than the following from bis pencil which we find hi,the Jndianapoils Er-cning Journal:

A tuA*»-meeting of the New York thieve*, to be followed bjr A torchlight ptocuwlon. han been ordered IN the Interest of Klehard B. Connollv. The Ida of a torchlight proe«Mkn rasher incongruous, the doings of Richard would »bow beet lo the dark.

THB Lutheran Synod resoluted to this effect last week That we recognize the primordial ana beautiful law of heaven which assigns to woman a different sphere from man—that law of dnallty which runs through the divine economy, the duality of day and night, of the leaf and the flower, of the hand and the heart.

Somewhere within the labyrinths of this redundant phraseology is supposed to lurk an argument against Woman Suffrage. If it means that under no circumstances can woman work in the same sphere as man, then it is time for those women who, by their own exertions are supporting worthless husbands and helpless families, to know that they aro under the ban of the Lutheran Church, and that their conduct is sinful, improper and opposed to that primordial and beautiful law of heaven which assigns to woman adifferferent sphere from man.

THE English government has just amended its rules for testing the qualifications of persons proposed for appointment to civil service, by providing that after the candidate has passed his examination and received his certificate, he shall enter on a six months' probation to test bis conduct and general capacity for business, and shall not be employed without proof of fitness. What a blessing it would be if such a rule could be enforced in this country!

ANOTHER step toward Teutonizing Alsace has been taken »by Prussia, in an order regulating the use of French in the public schools of Strasbourg and other towns. The order directs that public schools may retain the use of the French language temporarily in the upper classes, but German only will be permitted to be used for the lower forms.

WHY don't the Journal follow the example of the Covington Friend and fling to the breeze the names ot Stephens, Ilanna and Voorliees? Is it doing its whole duty to the xlistinguished Democrats resident in this city whose names havo been mentioned by the Fountain county oracld in connection with the nomination for very important offices

MR. GROESBECK, of Cincinnati, has made a very able speech 'in which he charges that Congress has endowed the President with despotic power, and that Grant is virtually a Czar. If this be true he seems a mild sort of monarch. Not many of us have felt the heel of Presidential tyranny grinding us into the earth as yet.
