How They Love the Darkey.
Although the colored troops fought no
bly which entitled them to vote,- they can't
attend the inauguration Ball. Though Re
publican newspapers and orators distribute
a great deal of cheap talk about the politi
cal and social equality of the black man,
they refuse to put it in .practice, whenever
the test is offered. When the dusky MEN
ARD, of Louisiana, presented his credentials
to Congress and asked admission, he was
refused, although he was as much entitled
to his seat as any other scalawag who went
South to get an office. The Republican
party went back on its teachings. MACK,
of the Enquirer, tells us all about the 8011,
and exhibits still further the scandalous liy
pocracy of the Radicals, in the profession
of their belief that there Is no inherent
difference in races, and that the line of sep
aration is formed upon nothing but an un
reasonable prejudice against color :
General Grant has made a flank inove-
Pfent upon one of the ' 'knottiest" of the
equal rights problems by his refusal to par
ticipate in an inauguration ball—that refus
al being equivalent, of course, to an alwn
donment of Aie project. So now it is given
out that there is to be no ball on the Fourth
of March, and the object of this paragraph
is to explain why. It will lie remembered
that some time time ago I published, in
one of my letters, a paragraph to the effect
that one of the Radicals who had charge of
the preliminary arrangements (it was
Schenek, if I am not mistaken,) had. said in
private conversation that "no d—d niggers"
would be admitted to participate in the
fashions and festivities of that historic oc
casion. A few days afterward I met a
Democratic friend, who inquired of me my
authority for the statement. I gave it to
him, and with other proofs that I had not
misstatad the designs of the Radicals to ex
clude the negroes, nor their fears that the
negroes would need sj>ecial exclusion to
keep them out. While we were conversing
on the subject I remarked that something
ought to be done to make ■an issue on the
question as lietween the Radicals and their
colored friends, and that the bsdl room
would be a better place than the Supreme
Court to determine whether all men were
l)orn free and equal, as we have been so of
ten informed of late by Congressional bills
and resolutions.
The next thing was to get a few colored
gentlemen and ladies who would be willing
to go to the ball after the Radical leaders
had expressed their desire to keep them out.
It was finally agreed that two hundred
dollars should be raised by private sub
scription for the purchase of twenty tickets,
which would admit twenty dusky gents and
forty dusky ladies. It was found impossi
ble to get a sufficient numlier of the right
kind of colored persons in Washington who
were willing to go—for the tiekets were to
be given only to those of dignified bearing,
who could dress well and dance well, and
who, in addition, knew their rights and
would maintain them, and not be shoved in
to a corner, or made to form "sets," by
themselves in the merry dance. An indi
vidual was found, however, who was willing
to go to Philadelphia or Baltimore, select
the required number from the aristocratic
circles, and guarantee their appearance in
full dress at the ball-room. Unfortunately,
however, just at this stage of the proceed
ings, some of the Radicals got wind of the
programme, and very soon Grant was in
formed of a "copperhead plot to get nig
gers into the inauguration bull." What
followed is well known. Grant wrote a
letter protesting against the ball, and the
idea of celebrating his inauguration in the
customary way has Iteen abandoned.
The above is the trnth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth about this mat
ter. I should not liave referred to it ier
liaps, but for insane rumors of a "copper
head conspiracy to break up the ball."
There has been no "conspiracy about it, but
only a determination to test the sincereity
of the Radical professions of love for the
negro, and belief in the doctrine of perfect
equality. The ball was to have been a pub
lic affair, and thajproceeds devoted to the
Lincoln Monument Association. Call you
an attempt to add 8200-to the funds a "cop
perhead conspiracy ?" It is a penal offense
to exclude a a sleeping-car or a
hotel—and why should it tie a "conspiracy'
to send one or twenty negroes to a Radical
ball ? According to the laws of Congress
the negro are the "governing class" in the
South, and a philanthropic movement to
enable a few of them to dance at the inau
guration of Grant and Colfax is branded
as a "copperhead conspiracy." Did any
one ever hear of the like before ?
InciesC of the National Debt.
The election having resulted in favor of
the Radical candidate for the Presidency,
there can scarcely now be a necessity for
further lying, on the part of the Radicals,
in regard to the National debt. We sup
pose, therefore, that the people, including
the blockhead Radicals who know nothing,
and believe nothing but Radical lies, will
now believe that the debt is really increas
ing nnder Radical rnle. During the hist
month the debt increased thirteen millions
of dollars. Bondholders should rejoice at
this additional evidence that the Republi
can party is the only party that can main
tain the public credit, and by "economy
and retrenchment insnre the payment of
the bonds !"— Smbicry Democrat.
A Mongrel Government to be Established.
Passage in the House of Representatives,
at Washington, of the negro suffrage and
offieejholding amendment.
WASHINGTON, 'Jan. 31.
The House took another gigantic stride
toward centralization and negro supremacy,
yesterday, hv the adoption of the "Bout
well" joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution, and giving ne
groes the right to vote throughout all the
Skdes. This scandalous unconstitutional
measure was carried by a vote of 150 yeas
to 42 nays. The only lb-publicans voting
with the Democrats in the negative were
Mesrrs. Baker of Illinois, Bingham of Ohio,
and Polsley of West Virginia, while Mr.
Stewart of the Sixth New York City Dis
trict, elected by Democratic votes, acted
with the Radicals of the North and "carpet-
I luggers" of the South in support of the res
olution. The indications are that it will
go through the Senate by a full party-vote.
The following is the text of the resolution
its adopted:
Resolved, itc. (two-thirds of both houses
concurring,) That the following article lie
proposed to the Legislatures of the several
States, as an amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States, which, when rat
ified by three-fourths of said Legislatures,
shall be held as part of said Constitution,
namely :
ARTICLE—SECTION 1. The right of any
citizen of the United States to vote shall
uot be denied or abridged by the United
States or any State, by reason of race, col
or, or previous condition of slavery of any
citizen or class of citizens of the United
States.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have power
to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article.
The Negro Outrages in the South Con
tinue.
In spite of carpet-bag Governor Clay
ton's white-washing report, the outaagos of
the loil negro militia in Arkansas continue.
Ou the 27tli ult. they attacked a wedding
party at Pine Knob, and attempted to lay
hands on the laiDes present. Some of the
gentlemen guests were armed and a terrif
ic fight ensued, in which four of the mili
tiamen were shot and. a sister of the bride
seriously, if not mortally wounded. The
aflair created intense excitement, and the
people turned out in pursuit of the scoun
drels. Governor Clayton turns a deaf ear
to the cries of the white people and refuses
to interfere.
Every mail from the South bring us
fresh cases of negro outrages upon white
women and children. Last week, at Mount
Vernon Ala., a negro, named Mack, com
mitted a revolting assault on two little girls,
the eldest not more than eleven years old.
The country was scoured for the monster,
and when caught he was turned over to an
impromptu jury of his own color for trial.
Their decision was swift, and he was exe.
euted on the spot.— Kr.
Retributive Justice
The Lancaster Intelligencer says, the ejec
tion of Senator Stockton, of New Jersey,
from his seat was one of the mest iniqui
tous among the many arbitrary outrages
perpetrated by the Radicals in their reek
less exercise of the wantonness of power.
It will be remembered by our readers that
the subject was debated a long time. Be
fore the vote was taken, Mr. Wright, then a
Senator from New Jersey, was obliged, on
account of ill htylth to go home ; but, be.
fore doing so, he "paired off" in the Stock
ton ease with Mr. Morrill, of Maine. When
the roll was called the Senate was found to
be evenly divided, and it required a major
ity to de2>rive Mr. Stockton of his seat.
Then, in violation of bis plighted word of
honor, the Yankee Morrill rose iu his seat
and voted against Stockton. Mr. Wright
never dreamed when he "paired off" with
him that he could le induced to commit so
dishonorable au act for so base a purpose 1 .
Time, which is said to set all things even,
has brought its revenge. Morril is repudi
ated by the Radicals of Maine, and depriv
ed of his seat iu the Senate, while Mr.
Stockton is returned by the Democracy of
New Jersey. This is a piece of retributive
justice over which all honorable men must
rejoice.
Trouble in the Wigwam.
Some oue who does up the gossip about
the capitol for the Patriot says :
TIIF. orBEBNATOKIAL CONTEST
Is beginning to excite more than ordinary
interest. Both parties are moving. The
Democrats seem to favor May or June for
holding their State Convention, while the
Republicans think the 2d of March would
!>e the best time to hold their State Con
vention, as the delegates could get through
their business in time to participate in the
inauguration ceremonies at Washington.—
When the Republicans in the Legislature,
through the influence of the outside new
combination, elected John Scott United
States Senator, and R. W. Mackey State
Treasurer, it was understood among them
that the work must go on, until Geary was
slaughtered. Grow; was then to be nomi
nated for Governor in consideration of his
withdrawing from the Senatorsliip. But
the new combination have become alarmed
and instead of Geary, Grow will be led up
to the slaughter. Colonel Harry White, of
Indiana, with considerable assurance, puts
in his claim, on the score of his sufferings
in Libby Prison. He was captured too
early in the entertainment to say much of
his military prowess. But he tells us in
the lecture which he frequently delivers in
various parts of the State, that he fought
like forty ''lndians,,' and it must be tafcen
for granted that he did, for it is too much
hard work to run around hunting up the
truth in such matters. But like Grpw he
lias no chance. Geary is to be the man on
the score of expediency. The leading Re
publicans are afraid that they will be de
feated if they nominate any other man.—
They may rest assured that they will be
beaten either with or without Geary.
Tire name of W. W. Ketcbum, Esq., of
Luzerne, once and awhila forms a flicker
and gets into a blaze, but it soou dies out.
The Negro Suffrage
In the platform adopted by the Chicago
Convention that nominated Gen Grant, the
Republicans, or Radicals, declared that the
States which had not forfeited their righto
by participating in the rebellion, had the
right to pass upon the subject of negro
suffrage for themselves. Now, however,
they are putting through an amendment to
the Constitution which is designed to force
negro suffrage upon the "loyal" States.—
This amendment will be ratified by legisla
tures in the southern States, in which are
many colored members, and their action in
the matter will go far towards fastening
negro suffrage on the northern States,
whether they want it or not.
But the worst feature in this business is
the fact that, after liaving, by their plat
form, disavowed any intention to force ne
gro suffrage upon the North—after declar
ing that this question was not an issue be
fore the people—the Radicals now "spring"
this amendment, intending to have it rati
fied by legislatures whose members were
not elected on this issue, and many of whom
could not have been elected had the people
known them to be in favor of such an
amendment.
A proper and fair way to proceed in this
matter would have been for the Radicals to
have placed the question squarely before
the people last fall But not having done
this, they should, as the next best thing,
have provided for submitting this amend
ment to legislatures hereafter to be elected.
It is the evident intention of the Consti
tution to have all proposed amendments to
it ratified by the people of at least three
fourths of the States through representa
tives in the legislatures, or in conventions
called for the purpose. If Congress, had
proposed to submit this amendment to con
ventions in the several States, to be com
posed of memliers elected with especial
reference to this particular subject, the real
intent of the Constitution would have been
carried out, and the fairest expression of
the people's will would have been called
forth. But by springing this amendment
upon the people without giving them an
opportunity to pass upon it, the Radicals
have acted in an unfair if not an unlawful
manner.
This amendment which, we prcsnme, will
soon become a part of the Constitution, by
means of the deception and management
referred to, will be the third that has
been engrafted upon that instrument in
consequence of the late war, and the two
that are now declared to be in force were
"put through" under very questionable
circumstances, and without the actual con
sent of the people of three-fourths of the
States. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth
amendments were not lawfully ratified,
even if we admit that a Congress repre
senting only a portion of the States has the
right to propose amendments to the Con
stitution. Whether good or evil result
from these amendments to our fundamental
law, they were produced by dishonest, un
just and unlawful means, and this remark
will apply, in part if not wholly, to the
amendment now pending, if it be carried
through the State Legislatures elected last
fall.— Philat Patriot.
