Ax exchange s3 s : Miss Anna Dick
inson is responsible for the statement
that a short time before Mr. Greeley's
death be said to her that he intended to
bring the Tribune back to the Republi

The Democratic party have always
denounced the manner of the adoption
of the provision in the United States
Constitution couferricg the right to vote
on the colored people as unconstitu
tional. How long will it be when they
get the complete control of Congress
tefore they will propose to amend the
Constitution so as to deprive him of the
right to vote !
Tue llarrisburg Patriot thinks it
Lad policy to pay off the State debt so
rapidly. That is a principle modern
Democracy cannot understand. It can't
imagine that anything Las been im
proved under the rule of the Republi
can party. Should the Patriot and its
friends secure control of tbe State, they
would never be happy until tbey bad

where they left it some fifteen years
ago. fl'est Chester Republican.
Ul'sixess people of the West are
beginning to declare strongly for more
natiocal currency. Tbey may sit by
the willows and attune their harps and
ting their complaints many , many days,
for they have just helped to elect a
Congress that, rather than give the
country an increased circulation of gov
ernment money, will legislate out of
existence what government money now
circulates, and so shape the finances of
the country that State banks will take
its place. These people are like the man
of fable, with the goose that daily laid
a golden egg. Said he, " The goose
dues not d) right. I should have the
eggs more plenty. 111 kill the b:rd.
That will be a change in the way of
getting them. I'll have them all to
gether." And forthwith the bird was
killed. Xo eggs were there, and the
goose that laid the treasure was dead.
During the canvass, Republicans
freely declared that Democratio suc
cesses would develop afresh the old,
envenomed spirit of Southern Deuioc
racy. The elections were hardly over,
before questions began to be satirically
asked by Democratic journals whether
these promised events bad come to pass.
They were ready to affirm that never
were things so lovely at the South, nor
the blacks and whites more fraternal.
Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas do not
respond to these harmonious tunes. On
the contrary, the Sbreveport Times, one
of the most influential Democratio pa
pers in Louisian, is outspoken in its de
mand that (very Republican declared
elected in Louisiana shall be murdered
in co'.J blood. The White League
backs this np with the declaration that
it intends to place it partisans in the
Legislature, and impeach and expel
from office the Governor and Lieuten
ant Governs. The United States au
thorities have information that leads
them to congregate a force there, in an
ticipation of an outbreak in January.
All this is the promised peace. In Ar
kansas, there are reports of outrageous
fraud -i by the Democracy. In Texas
the same spirit of bloodtbirstiness is
tiianifest. This is the peace so cliana
ingly portrayed. Pitttburg Gazette.

- Notes from the South.
The election is over. The smoke of
the political battle ha cleared away,
and the result is known to all. The
third day of November passed tery plea
santly in South Carolina. - Difficulties
between opposing factions were antici
pated, and fears were entertained that
blood would be shed. But these fears
were groundless. With a few excep
tions peace and order were maintained
at every prtciuct. This speaks well
fur both the whites and blacks. A
larger white vote was polled this year
than at any other election since the
war. It ii an indication that the peo
ple are casting aside prejudice and de
termined to do something to gain those
rights for which they are clamoring.
Tbey saw the shadow of a chance for
political power by fusing with dissatis
fied Republicans and calling the ticket
Independent. Judge Green, their can
didate for Governor, is a South Caro
linian. The State ticket was a mix
ture of white and black, and in some
counties the tickers were made up of
Democrats and Independent Republi
eans. This fusion was made for the
purpose of "Reform," but the opinion
was entertained by many that the Re
formers needed mcst themselves to be
reformed. So this election brought
about three wonderful things, namely :
White Southerners running for office ;
colored people voting for white South
erners, and Trbite Southerners voting
for negroes and Republicans. But all
this did very little good. The regular
Republicans were victorious. The ma
jority for Governor is 10,000. Io
Charleston county the Green ticket,
with six out-and-out Democrats thereon,
received a majority of 4,000. This waa
a local fight against the notorious
Bowen, of whom you have, no doubt,
beard, being expelled from Congress a
few years since on account of bis nu
merous crimes.
We now turn our minds from the dis
gusting condition of political a&airs in
this State to the future with some hope.
D. II. Chamberlain, the successful can
didate fr Governor, is a man worthy
the position to which be has txen raised,
lie is intelligent, a ready speaker, mor
al and honest. A better selection could
not have been made. We have every
reason to believe, therefore, that affairs
will change for the better. Mr Cham
berlain is aware of tne great need of
change. He has seen the great strug
gle and heard tba great cry of the peo
ple for reform. lie has before him the
crimes of Lis predecessors, and their
terrible disgrace, to teach him the dan
ger of political corruption.
It was rather a queer sight to behold
the aristocratic whites vote side by side
with the M poor white trash " and the
negroes, many of whom were their
former slaves. The masters have very
little influence over the colored people
The nrgroes don't seem to have much
confidence in the Southerners. They
will, notwithstanding all the coaxing
and the threatening, persist in voting
the Republican ticket. This the whites
blame npon Yankees. These, say tbey,
alienate the two races, persuading the
colored people to vote in that way.
This may be so, but it cannot be denied
that they are more easily persuaded in
that way than in any other.
The font hero press and people are
everywhere jubilaot over the result of
the elections in other States. They
don't hesitate to claim the Democrats
in the North as their fiiends, and these
Democratic victories as a step toward
their liberation froiu the galling politi
cal yoke which has been thrown about
their necks on account of that (to them)
harmless and innocent transaction out
here in our harbor. Tbey now ntter
their sentiments more boldly than ever
before. 1 have frequently beard con
versations of this kind "In two years
we will be politically free. We have
now a Democratic Congress soon we
will have a Democratic President. Then
farewell to terrorism ! They (the Yan
kees) can't force us at the point of the
bayonet ! We will rule the South as
we please !" I asked a prominent
Southern merchant, 44 What will you
Democrats do with the negroes when
you get into power !" u Only this,"
faid be, "not a nigger shall vote in this
whole country unless be can read and
write !" At first thought this does not
seem such a bad thing, but tbe result
will not be so good. This will give the
whites the political controL I can not
help fearing that if this becomes a fact,
it will result disastrously to tbe inter
ests of the colored people. Tbey will
have to stand aside from many of their
present privileges.
The Southern people, if we are to
rely upon their word, are resting under
a terrible burden. Their groans are
beat t-rending ! The burden is the poor
darkey in his present condition ! He
was no weight before tbe war now be
is unendurable. What shall be done
with him How shall tbey get bim out
of the way t These questions will scon
be settled if tbey once get tbe power
into their own hands.

Chancellor Rc.ntak has just ren
dered a decision in one of the most re
markable cases ever brought before the
New Jersey State courts. It b a suit
brought by one James Persons against
bis wife Harriet, for recovery of bis
property in Paterson. Persons, who
was born in England in 1778, traveled
id early life over a large part of the
world. In 1838 be married, and sub
sequently discovering that his wife al
ready had a husband living, traveled to
St. Louis with her in sercb of her hus
band, to whom be surrendered ber. In
England, in 1842, he married bis pres
ent wife, and finally decided to move to
Paterson. Providing his wife with $3,
500 in cash, be sent ber to purchase in
his name the property known as Nos.
51 and 53 River street, in that city.
She repaired to the place designated,
and had the deeds made out in her own
name. In utter ignorance of tbe fact,
her husband, who b some twenty-five
years ber senior, afterward paid a small
balance of tbe purchase money. Mrs.
Persons then started a boarding house,
and among her guests was a man named
Isaac Farthing, who was very near ber
own sge. Aa attachment 6praog up
between Mrs. Persons and this man,
and in proportion as the attachment
grew, was the old husband treated with
cruelty. In October, 1872, the pair
took possession of the house, Mrs. Per
sons putting a single dollar in tbe hands
ef her husband, and turning him out on
the street. Bent down with years, and
unable to engage ic an active business,
be threw himself npon the hospitality
of some kicd friends, and laid tbe case
before a Paterson lawyer. Suit was
immediately instituted by the injured
husband against his heartless wife, in
tbe Court of Chancery, to gain ' tbe
title to tbe property purchased with his
money. Chancellor Run y an has just
decreed that tbe property shall be
turned over to the husband. Ex.
Tbocble wrrn Tcbeet. A serious em
broglio in our relations with "the Divan bas
arisen, a follows: S ark is Minasian, who
has for many years acted as tbe resident
agent In Turkey for the sale of Dr. J. C.
Ayer A. Co.'s medicines, driven by the in
crease of his business to a necessity lor
more room, built his warehouse in Constan
tinople, several stories bibber, after having
obtained the necessary permit from the au
thorities. The I mans of a neighboring
mosque, which overlooked the premises de
manded a Urge resent in money, which
was refuser!. They then applied to the
Grand Vizier, for the enforcement of an
obsolete Uw, which had beeu disregarded
two hundred years, requiring him to take
down the building to eighteen feet, which
was granted, and they commenced tbo work
of demolition. Minasian then applied to
the American Minister, who notified the
Sublime Porte that American property
could not be thus trifled with, and that tbe
demolition must cease. Then commenced
the usual course of Mussulman prevarica
tion and promises, but no real redress. Fi
nally Minister Morris informed them that if
their depredations continued, he should
order the U. S. ships of war to enter the
Bospbnrns and Messrs. Ayers' medical
warehouse would not be alone roofless. A
stroke of his pen could have laid the wbclc
city under the sweep of American cannon,
backed by men who are not schooled in the
lessons of fear. Tbi s brought them to their
senses and speedy redress. Minasian has
bo arrived in this country, to present the
case to our Stale Department for indemni
