of the territory proposed for the es
tablishment of a new county, which
,
must contain not less than four hun,

not less than twenty thousand:inhab
itants, and whielt,:mThst not reduce
the area of population of the counties
partitioned or divided below the'min
imum necessary for the new county.
The Commissioners are required to
make their report in forty days, to
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
an" 4 Secretary of Internal: Affitirs.•
with mapS of the new county pro
poSed to be erected, whereupon, after
Olive weeks advertisement' in the
counties affected and ; within forty
dayS after the filing of the report of
the Commissioners, an election is to
be held to decide by ballot the ques
tion of diviSion. Two-thirds of the
electors voting for the new county it
•is established, provided that s major
ity vote is ; ohtained in each of the
separate parcels of territory taken
from other counties. If "a majority.
of such electors prefer remaining in
the old county and the territory is
not thus reduced below the constitu
tional limit, the new county is estab
lished without the incorporation of
the disagreeing section. The pro rata
of. county indebtedness due from the
population of the hew county at ztbe
time of division must be liquidated
as if no division had taken place.
The location of the county seat is
set forth in the original petition for
the new county.
The remaining provisions of the
bill are matters of detail relating to
the organization of the courts and
official: regulation of the county af
fairs preceding the regular election
of county officers,
COLORED MEN.
Mr. FREDERICK DOUGLASS is again
on the war path, in the right direc
tion. At a meeting held in Wash,
ington by the colored Republiearis
of the District' of'Colurnbia," in hon
or of Senator Mormrsr and ex-Gover
nor. Prlcunicx.. of Louisana, Mr.
Dom m.Ass expressed his confidence,
in Mr. PricuuAcK and the justness
of his elaiMs. He thoUght the mar
vel was not so much that seven Ike:
publicans could not. rise above caste
and prejudice as that twenty-nine
Senators could set these 'at defiance.
He then proceeded to eulogize the
Republican party. condemning , the
action of colored men in voting with
the Democracy.
" The Republican party is still the
party of justice and freedom. It is.
relatively, the blackman;s: party •
Compare them in this wise;' the • one
is heaven and the other hell. For
one, I shall stand by the
.party '; . of
Sumner and Lincoln. If jtstice-and
protection are not obtained 'here. 1
do not look for them elswhere. The
logic which would make us quite
roof with seveir small holes in , it, in
exchange for the open field and. the
pitiless storm, is not the locric for
me. Some talk about dividing our
votes between the two parties has
come to my - notice of late. It has
not made much impression upon ate.
If we do this we-May expect to fall.
It is :Trued that such a course would
deprive the Democratic party of all
motive for keeping, up its crusade
again‘t us.. Granting, that such
would be the ease, it equally follows
that it would deprive the IRepuhli
c•an party of all motive fir a vigilant
and determined effort. to protect us
in our rights. I make these remarks
because the Democratic press seems
willing enough to seise every occa
sion to destroy the colored man's
confidence ih the Republican party,
at the same time that its party
is doing its utmost to -reduce us
again to. something akin to the hate
ful condition of bondage- from which
we have been so recently delivered:".
THE " Prohibitionists" of Ohio
have met in Columbus, nominated a
full ticket for State officers and 'ad
journed.- From now until the day
before the nest election, the leaders
of this movement will he in the mar
ket for cash as the price of the votes
of their honest adherents of the rank
and file. We sincerely trust the Re
publicans Will not buy these leaders.
There is more strength in exposing.
their ava melons treachery. And this
we hope will be done; and without
mercy.
WE find the following pleasant
paragraph' coneernin7 our teleran
and 4 ljsiinpished Senator, In - the
New
, York Tribu.ne Washington
dispatches:
Senator Cameron's 77th birth
day was passed to-day. He was

INVESTIGATIONS don't always turn
out just as ori!rinators anticipate.
The inquiry in regaLd to BELKNAP . S
ease, while it resulted in proving him
a' corrupt- official, is likely to ; show
that PENDLETON, one of the lli ;h
Priests of Democracy, and
. perhaps
CLYMER. have profited somewhat by
the inissmana!Tement of the war Office .

The attempt of the White Liners in
Louisiana to impeach Governor KEI:
Liam, after a silemn pledge had been
made by the leading 'Democrats of
that Statg that no effort to impeach
the Governor would.be made, shows
the deep seated animosity of the old
. rebel element toward a • RePubliean
administration. Though defeated in
this attempt, it is clearly evident that
the White Liners of Louisiana.
'an South Carolina are deter

Presidential election. As the fate of

of keeping tiz`e - m in the :hand's of
'l°6l men? There will be desperate
attempts made by• the Democratic
rutrians of the South to crush out
il4Publicanism''in those States Where
it non'. holds power. These attempts
mint be firmly met and resisted. Our
friends must ' , organize for personal
and political protection, and the'
