Ry this action the National Democratic puny has fully c.minittcd ilself to the “Tariff for reve nue-only” policy, and on that issue the next Presidential campiign must Ire fought. Meesis. Tillman trttd Dihhk- Voted for Randall. The reliiaindcr of the South Carolina delegation vote 1 for Car lisle. Now lot us have peace. k — A good many practical economists are exercised as to the proper disposition to L# made of the enormous eut plus of $1.32,#03,030 annna'ly collected hy the (loocial Government. According to our Views of die past, present and future of the country it should be converted m'o an emigration fund and socially expend ed in the settlement of the colored popu lotion In n Western Territorial reserva tion. If “American citizens of African descent” arc “the wards of the nation” they should get “forty acres and a mule” on the fertile prairies toward the setting sun. It would be better for all .roucern- ed for qur “brethren in black” to “go Wert and grow up with the country.’’— Give them homes and let them work out ihcir own salvation. * , When a Southern born white man gees into the Repub lean party it is bard V) tell where lie wid stop if opportunity offers and life la.-ts. There seems to be no reformation this side of the grave and the emigrant goes down grade with n oiutinually accelerating moinemum.— The trial of John A. Mitchell, a colored Democrat, by the United States Court in Columbia is enough to sicken any lover of decency and fair p’ny. A juvenile black boot black in Charleston attempts to crowd himself ahead of other nppli-_ Cants for registraliou, is poshed out of linn by Mitchell, a white deputy marshal Comrs up. seeks to make an arrest with out a warrant, Is resisted, goes off, gets the warrant and mrusts the defendant without trouble. In due course the de fendant is carried before the Court in Columbia, the District Attorney of Northern Georgia U deputized by the ^Aitomey General of the United States to conic ovcriut< Hie satrapy of South Carolina and to a-vi-t Mr. Melton to vin dicate the outraged law ! And these congenial spirits confer anu consult, they exclude all Demoorat^fV^, f | 10 j u> ry and pack it, Vi” 1 ,, Grcenbickcr* and 1U< Urfnd taU about justice and prate ^tf impartiality. It is true tlmt tlie Chi f Justice of the United States nud our Su preme Court and the law of this St, to say tint the prosecution lias no light to “stand aside” -jurors in the trial of mia- demeanors, but Judgj Bond ignores Such authority, reverses a former ruling, promises to think about making a rifle in the future and lets Melton and Speer have their own will. We have no abuse lor these people. They are in bud COm- jmuy and have contiuctcd evil habits.— Their tenure of office is contingent upon their collection bf campaign capital. — When they cease to he profitable sor- t ants they will be cast.Into outer dark, lies* and the public crib shall feed them no more. And although it sickens us to nee such conduct yet its cxiMcuco and "^courugqmcnt by the National Admin- Uiruttop show the desperate straights to which the Republican party is reduced. It will be a long thue before any Demo* cr-t is sent to Albany by such tictics— nd it Will noVbc a very gVeat while b< • , lore Messrs. Melton and Speer will be " retired to that privacy in life which they wo well deserve. ?“a' 1 - -j s _ The ttwverawr’M AAeanac*. ^ The message of ttov Thompson is an . interesting paper, containing much vale* ublc infocHMMicn and several timely sug. gertiuos of changes in the laws necessary to their yxratar effectiveness.
