THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15,1880. DOWN IN DIXIE. LETTER FROM OUR ALABAMA CORRES PONDENT. A Review or the Political Situation In the Seuth The Republican Party "all Kreke Up." and the Politi cal Sentiment Unan imously Demo cratic. HUMORS OF JOURNALISM. Hew the Editor's Assistant "Ran" the News paper In the Absence of His Chief. A Hopeful Outlook from the Seuth. Correspondence of the Ixtkllieexcer. Marengo County, Ala., July 6, 1880. Iu less than one month from te-day a general election will be held, at wli'cli every officer, from village constable te the gevemer of Alabama will be chosen. Such an event is always proceeded by excitement, and often by these acts of popular passion and violence, which furnish the principle arguments against Democratic institutions. Fer once in our history, old things seem te have passed away, and this campaign presents a new era iu our social and politi cal life. Frem Tennesse te the Gulf, from Gee:-gia te Mississippi, through the hills and val lies of Alabama, peace reigns. There is no excitement ; tlicie is no electioneering ; there are no opposing candidates, and the nominees of the county, district and state conventions will be elected with a unan imity never before known in any country gevci ned by popular suffrage. The Radi cal party is dead and buried. A few per sons, who represent nobody, attempted te organize an "Independent, Greenback Laber Party," but the effort failed. The Democratic ticket will recover nirc tcnths of the votes cast in August, and the majerty for Gov. Cobb will be be tween 75,000 and 100,000. Why is tins? What has become of the Republicans? Where are the unterrificd colored voters ? It is because the people have had six years of Democratic government, and they see its benefits, ie low taxes, honesty in office, protection of life, liberty and property, the rapid increase of wealth and the development of all our material resources. The Republicans (doubtless there are honest men of that party in ether states), were all rogues, thieves and plunderers, and just as seen as a step was put te this rascality, left for parts unknown. There are net Republi cans enough in Alabama te fill the post pest offices and take the census. In this, one of the wealthiest counties, with a pepuh tieu of ever 30,000, every postmaster, ex cept one, and every census enumerator is a Democrat. The colored voters, se furi ously Republican when led by the carpet bag rascals, did exactly what the brave colored troops did in the rebelien when net supported by brave white men. They surrendered, and each one tried his level best te get into the Democratic party first, and te prove that he had been "a white man nigger, you knew boss; a Dcmo Dcme krat all dc time." In this way in the Black Belt, where the negre population is often twenty times as great as the white, the Democrats poll their largest vote. If this be true in a contest for state offi cers, what will be the result of the presi dential and congressional election? The Democrats are thoroughly organized. Tlicy will turn out and vote. With wise Mr. Tildcn as the nominee, they would have carried the state by a large majority against Gen. Grant, who is the strongest man in the Republican paity. Gen. Han cock and Mr. English will have no opposi tion. Their majority will be well, it will be nearly the whole voting population, and may be put down at 125,000 en a light vote. Mr. Garfield's friends cannot put a decent natural ticket in the field. They have net in the state a single man, who can make a respectable stump speech, unless it be Judge Sain'l F. Rice, and nobody can tell whether this versatile and incon incen sistant genius will be for or against them. They cannot organize clubs, nor get up public meetings, nor circulate campaign papers, without help from beyond the limits of the state. It has been well said of them. "They have neither soldiers te fight, nor money te buy ammnnitien, nor brains te command." The Republican national executive committee will net spend money in order te assist a few post masters, two or three deputy marshals, a half dozen Mobile custom house officials, and a squad of ignorant negre preachers in canvassing Alabama. They will spend their surplus cash and energy in Pennsyl vania, New Yerk and ether contested states. , Se far as relates te the congressional elcctieus, the Republicans are in, if it were possible, a worse condition. Bill Lewe will represent 'Independent Green backers no mere. Ne man can be elected te Congress from Alabama except he is a Democrat and in perfect accord with his party. If the Republicans cannot get up a respectable electoral ticket, where will they find a decent candidate for Congress ? These views of mine may interest your readers. Yeu can refer te my random let ters, written during the past six years, and they will show that I have always been posted about Alabama affair?. I assure you that the nomination of Gen eral Hancock suits our people. He was and is our first choice ; and we only with we could transfer about 50,000 of our sur plus majority te Pennsylvania. But we cannot believe that the citizens of the Key. stone state, and especially the soldiers who knew him well, will vote against their own here, and for the Ohie man, who left the front, when danger threatened, te take a safe seat in Congress. We de net believe that you will need any help from us te carry your state for the General who led his divlsen te Gettysburg, the Wilderness and Petersburg, and against the General who led himself back te a soft place in Congress, iu order that he might be come an officer of the Credit Mebilier. It seems incredible that the intelligent people of Pennsylvania should condone fraud reward one who was most deeply implicated, support a corrupt "party of stalwarts " in their crusade against the prosperity and the liberties of the country, rather that give their support te a man of sta;nless character te priuciples that are elder than the government itself, and te a party that will protect the rights of the states, the freedom of the citizen and honestly administer public affairs. The election of Gen. Hancock depends greatly en Pennsylvania. Let him net be slaugh tered in the house of his friends. But enough of politics. We Alabami ans are prospering, and, most certainly, will continue te prosper, let the De mocracy triumph, or the Radicals retain power. The health of the people is ex ce'leut. Our schools are imprev'ng and are being better attended. Every year mere small farms are brought into culti vation, and the amount of agricultural products increases. This year's crop is net a geed one. Cotten is small and backward. The corn has been injured by dry weather and eats have suffered from rust. Yet we wi'l net starve, and Christ mas will be welcomed by a people, blessed with peace, geed laws honestly administered, and with plenty of the nec essaries, if net of the luxuries of life Crime has almost ceased. It is seldom that a serious violation of law is heard of. Property is increasing in value. Laber is regulating itself. The negre has ceased te be a source of uneasiness, and is becoming mere settled hi his habits, and mere useful iu the euly place he seems te have any fancy fe, or any capacity te fll' the cot ton field. The census will show a large increase in population, iu the value of per sonal property, and in manufactures and in mineral products. With this material piegress there is everywhere a slew but certain change going en in the habits and opinions of the people. We are beginning te feel mere interest iu public affairs, as was evidenced th's year by the attendance at the piimary elections, the action of the conventions and the excellent choice of candidates. While there is no enthusiasm the determination te vote in August and in November is fixed and unanimous. We arc becoming mere tolerant of opposition, mere liberal in all our ideas, and, being no longer Bourbons, we are forgetting much and learning mauy things. Te this slew revolution we leek hopefully ibi regaining the pride, the power and the in fluence which this great common wealth ought te have in the council of the Union. Iu this cffeit, the national Demo cracy can help us. Upen them, and their success in the Northern states the victory of the pa.ty depends. "We can only stand and wait," with the confident belief that the defeat will be mere disabtereus te you than te us ; for our plundering carpet baggers are gene, but you have your Camcrens, Quays, and "the addition, division and silence " gang te overthrew your liberties, prostitute your judiciary anil rob your people. Wc, who are of Pennsylvania Uncage, expect the Keystone state te de her duty, and that means " Hancock aud Vctery." M. Running a Newspaper. Hew Colonel Bagshot's Assistant Did It. Petroleum World. Colonel Bagshot runs a weekly news paper called the Union up in Cheduuk. Recently the colonel was called away te New Yerk en business, leaving the Union in the hands of an assistant who had been iu his employ some little time. New the colonel knew that said assist ant had the check of a brass statue aud the audacity of a New England fly, both indispensible attributes of the newspaper man-; but still, after being in the city about a week, he began te grew uneasy, aud telegraphed te Cheduuk : "Hew's things?" Back came the answer from the U.iien, whilem editor : " Bully ! Circulation of the old thing's gene up te a thousand. Been getting up a red het paper, and there's a. gang out side that arc weeping because they can't heist a shingle oil" the reef and knock the whole machine te atoms. Stay away as long as you like." Bagshot didn't wait a moment after re ceiving this encouraging dispatch. He started home en the first train, and reached Chedunk before night. The first man that struck him was the ticket agent. "Loek, here, Colonel," he cried, excit edly, " I've a geed notion te punch your head, you brazen-faced old liar." ' Why?" asked Bagshot. " Read that !" and the ticket agent shoved a crumpled Union into his hand. There was a paragraph marked as fol fel fol eows: " Railroad News The bandy legged idiot who robs the railroad company at this village has purchased a new pocket knife. Mere knocking down from the cash drawer." Bagshot bit his lips. " Bill," said he, " that's a calumny aud I'll sec it righted in our next. It's my as sistant's work." " I don't care whose work it is," grow! grew! ed the agent, " but if it ain't contradicted somebody's get te die ; that's all." Bagshot didn't reply, but sailed down the street te the Union office. He hadn't gene half a block before he collided with Deacon Marsh. The deacon seized him by the shoulder and exclaimed : ' What de j'eu mean, Bagshot, by in serting that scandalously untrue item about me?" "Didn't insert any item," replied the colonel. " Don't sneak out of it in that way. Yeu knew you did. Why I just cut it out of the Union listen :" "Religions Intelligence. That whited sepulchre, Deacon Marsh, was noticed, last Saturday night, trying te open the coal-hole in front of of his residence with his night key. The deacon was full as a goat, and couldn't tell moonshine from cheese." "New, that's nice, ain't it, saying tha I was intoxicated en Saturday night, when I went te bed at seven o'clock with a rag ing toothache !" "It's that reckless feel whom I left in charge," groaned the Colonel. "I'll make it all right, Marsh." and Bagshot scurried en again, only te be confronted by Majer Blim. "Colonel !'-' uttered Blim. in his deepest voice, "this is villainous! It's my intention sir, te call you out and sheet you through the heart. What the deuce de yen mean by publishing this note in the Union :" "Military Jottings. Majer Blim, the tattered old beggar, who hid in an oyster barrel during the battle of Bull Run, wears a wig. He ought te be shot in the back with a baked apple." " I can't help it, Bliin " said Bagshot, wiping his forehead, " its owing te that young rascal in the office He has made a red-het paper. Just wait, Majer, aud I'll fix things." Then Bagshot started .again. By the time he reached the postefficc, old Parker grabbed him. " Oh, you unfeeling ghoul !" wailed Parker. "Yeu ought te.be rede en a rail. The idea of making fun of my peer, dead child !" "Hew ?" "Hew !" he screamed. "Hew have you the cheek te ask hew ? Maybe you didn't shove this into the Union, did you, you heartless hypocrite ?" "OBITCARf." - Little Hennie Parker Had a stomach pain. Rhubarb and ipecac iJeth were in vain : lie kicked the golden bucket. Ills patents' heaits are sere; They'd bury him te-morrow. At a uuur er of four. " Of course Bagshot bad te explain, and premised the bereaved father a two-celumu notice of the dead Bennie's virtues. Hardly had he done se before young Ceeley appeared. "Colonel Bagshot, " he answered, "you are a lying scoundrel. This is a nice thing te put in your blackguard sheet abent a young lady. " "Society Items Jliss Ceeley, the old hag en Seuth st-eet, waltzes around in a patent bustle in the hope of catching a fellow. But she can't, net even if she lays the paint en twice as thick, as she does new." But Bagshot didn't step te hear it. He lie w across the square and into the Union office like a flash. Ne one was there. That able assistant editor, wanted by friends unknown, had dusted forever. Lying en the desk was a Union fe'ded se that this notice caught Buckshot's eye. "Literary News. The bald-headed snipe, who petends te run this paper, has gene te New Yerk. We expect te hear every moment of his sen:ecce te Sing Sng for arson and highway robbery. The citi zens of Chedunk should congratulate them selves if the colonel does net disgia?e his village by being hung for infanticide !" Bagshot never intends te employ auether assistant editor, aud journalists iu search of a situation will find it healthy te keep away from him. AllVIIERY.
